Chapter 178: Purple Sea (2/2)
In the terribly high temperature, the air was also terribly thin that even the empty space had trembled due to the awfully high temperature, causing the view in front of Ye Wuchen’s eyes to be distorted.
Ye Wuchen deeply breathed in the air and slowly walked downwards. After more than ten steps he had arrived at the edge of the purple sea. He crouched down and extended his arms towards the middle.
His hand sank into the purple lava… If it was the hand of an ordinary person, it would disappear in an instant, but Ye Wuchen felt his hand being wrapped in a comfortable warmth. He did not test the temperature of the purple lava, but its stickiness instead. Getting the result, the corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile.
Standing up, he looked ahead. In the center of the vast purple sea, he saw an eye-catching red dot. It was as if the pretty and flirtatious red dot had a peculiar magical power. It was unexpectedly not being covered up by the purple sea, instead it was like an arrogant monarch situated in the center of the vast purpleness. Even though it was in a far distance, it was visible enough for people to easily discover it.
The Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit!
Although its existence was very small, it was so eye-catching that people could not ignore it. Ye Wuchen mixed his powers and leaped up with his feet. His body lightly leaped forward, falling into the middle of purple sea, then stepping on purple lava of unknown depths as he walked forward. Although he was not able to walk on water, he could walk on the dense lava with some difficulty.
Walking along until he reached the center, he finally fully saw the Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit. It was rooted to the bottom of this horrible purple sea, its long stem was purple in color, burning with flames. The only fruit on top of the stem was actually only the size of a fingernail, emitting a strange devilish red light, so dazzling that one would not be able to directly look at it. Such a small size of fruit still allowing people to be able to easily discover its presence even from a hundred meter distance in the middle of the vast purple sea. If it was regarded as something from the mundane world, who would ever believe it?
Ye Wuchen’s eyes did not focus on it for a very long time, because it was not the reason he came here in the first place. Judging by its condition, if he really plucked it, being away from its flame source might cause the fruit to gradually dissipate.
He maintained the lightest weight his body could be as he stood in center of the purple sea. Opening his arms he mumbled, “That’s right… This is this kind of feeling that my premonition gave me…”
The place where Ye Wuchen stood was the exact center of the Heavenly Fire Volcano. Within such a terrible zone, it must be surrounded by an extremely strong spirit of the heaven and earth. Using them was the only method to upgrade his spells.
The spirit of heaven and earth was everywhere. Even if Ye Wuchen was in the middle of sleeping, his body would automatically absorb the spiritual power, thereby upgrading his powers. But because the spiritual power was too thin, the speed was extremely slow. His spells from level one to level two originated from his seventeen years of automatic absorption and from the pure and unmixed inborn spiritual power from an egg of the heavenly beast. If he was to rely on automatic absorption to upgrade it to the third level, he did not know when it would be completed.
So he had hoped for a place the was densely packed with the spiritual power of the heaven and earth, for instance, the hottest area of the Heavenly Star Continent, the Heavenly Fire Volcano.
It did not go beyond his expectations. Under his body’s automatic absorption, the center of the Heavenly Fire Volcano was like a mysterious warm breath that crazily rushed forth into his body. Compared to his usual involuntary absorption, this was much faster. He actually clearly felt the relaxed comfort in his body and the internal power to be in high spirits. The power he needed to be able to float on the purple sea was clearly nothing compared to this recoverr speed.
The speed of spiritual power absorption was beyond his anticipation, but the speed needed for him to upgrade his spells was somehow greater than what he had expected. He closed his eyes, silently experiencing the amplification of his power. If he was able to maintain the speed, within three days, he would be able to make a breakthrough to the third level.
His heart felt grateful towards the Five Underworld Five Elements Holy Qilin that had given him the Holy Blessings of the Qilin that permitted him to obtain a body that was not afraid of the five elements. With it he could freely stand in the middle of this purple sea. Without it he he would only feel powerless and incompetent.
The originally calm purple sea formed small waves because of his presence, this was an indication of the absorption gradually intensifying. After a short while, Ye Wuchen glanced all around and prepared to leave. He had already achieved his goal for this journey. He also had not come across any changes that were beyond his expectations. Once he sent Ning Xue and Tong Xin back, he would come again to quietly stand here for three days.
Just when he took the first step to depart from this purple sea, a deep imposing voice echoed in his ears:
“Who is it… Who is absorbing the spiritual power of this place…”
