Chapter 179: The Heavenly Fire Dragon (1/2)

The deep and resounding voice definitely came from afar, yet it had vibrated through his ears causing a loud buzz. Every tone was like a mountain ferociously colliding into his heart. The vibration caused Ye Wuchen’s internal organs to incessantly churn and a mouthful of fresh blood bubbled up in his throat yet he had forcefully swallowed it. If he did not fully control the powers throughout his whole, he might have already fallen into the purple sea.

This was the greatest pressure he had ever come across since birth. More intense than the time he had faced Tong Xin at the Devil’s Trap Pagoda. This kind of pressure came from just a voice, and even covered up the place entirely with an invisible force at the same time.

“Who are you?” Ye Wuchen looked all around using his fastest speed. Lowering his brows, his body was still rapidly absorbing the spiritual power of the heaven and earth in the area. Even if Ye Wuchen wanted to stop, was already impossible.

A name that caused his mind to violently palpitate emerged in his mind—Heavenly Fire Dragon!

According to the legends, Tian Long Nation’s enchanted protector dragon was said to be dormant within the Heavenly Fire Volcano. Could it really have existed, or was there some other person?

From a ways away, when the voice echoed in Ye Wuchen’s ears, Tong Xin’s eyes had suddenly flickered a dreadful dark light. Beside her, Ning Xue had suddenly looked at the direction of the Heavenly Fire Volcano, because that place had a familiar air to it. This time, a third of the two large pieces of ice beside her had already melted.

Tong Xin took a quick step, and in a blink of eye, she had shifted beside Ning Xue. Reaching out, her arms modestly covered Ning Xue’s waist on both sides. The next moment, a dark light automatically emitted from her palm. Spreading out, it quickly created a dark translucent shield surrounding Ning Xue’s body, temporarily isolating her from the onslaught of the temperature. When she pulled back her hands, Ning Xue cried out in surprise as they launching towards the direction of the Heavenly Fire Volcano like an arrow. This time she had raised her speed to her fastest, so fast that Ning Xue was not even able to open her eyes.

Boom!

A thick and solid pillar of flame suddenly emerged under Ye Wuchen’s feet, violently impacting against him. Ye Wuchen was smashed high up to the sky by the great force. He did not panic, but used the opportunity to turn his body around in the air, and dropped down somewhere further. Quickening his pace, within a few breaths he had already retreated from the purple sea and was standing on its edge. Yet he did not leave, only fixing his eyes in front, his brows knitted and he asked, “Are you the… Heavenly Fire Dragon?”

“Heavenly Fire Dragon? Hahahaha… That was indeed the name given to me by that person during those years. After so many years, you are the first person to have woken me up, and also the only person that I’ve seen who doesn’t fear the flames. Your power is very weak, yet I am unable to figure out what kind of power it is. But you’ve disturbed my peaceful sleep, and attempted to destroy my sleeping place, you… will only find death…”

The imposing voice was gone when an enormous field of energy had firmly blocked off the empty space surrounding him. The waves of the purple sea had completely stopped, resulting in a tranquil surface that did not move a single inch; the circulation of the air had become static in that instant. Everything seemed frozen in time.

Ye Wuchen’s body felt like it was being pushed down by a heavy mountain. He gritted his teeth, exerted all his energy, yet he still was not able to move. Even just to breath needed a large amount of effort.

It was indeed the Heavenly Fire Dragon. The legend was actually true!

Even the God-Level experts would not dare to provoke it, as its strength already exceeded the God-Level. Such creature was an Ultimate Magical Animal!

The moment the air blocked off, he already knew that he himself was like a defenseless ant in front of this creature. He was not even considered a threat to it, as it only required a small movement and that was already enough to make him vanish in a puff of smoke.

Ye Wuchen had already given up struggling. His eyes directly fixed in front as he expected to see the true face of the Heavenly Fire Dragon. He did not worry about his safety anymore, because he trusted Tong Xin. Even if he was not able to defeat the Heavenly Fire Dragon, he would still be able to escape safely.

But the Heavenly Fire Dragon did not show any act of kindness towards human. This implied that he would not be able to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth here...

Boom.

Before the Heavenly Fire Dragon could make its move to issue punishment, a dreadful energy which was similarly dreadfully fast drew near. The collision between the two unexpectedly produced a melancholy sound that caused blood to surge.

Eliminating the energy field of the Heavenly Fire Dragon, Tong Xin now stood in front of Ye Wuchen and was using her small and delicate body to protect him. Her arrival was somehow slower than what he had expected, but seeing Ning Xue beside her, he was suddenly alarmed. Seeing that her face did not show any discomfort, he felt relieved. The dark shield with its brilliant light was likely the explanation.

It must be an energy wall that could keep out the temperature.

“Tong Xin, let’s go. Don’t get involved with it.” Ye Wuchen pulled Ning Xue’s hand as he said imposingly. He believed that he will be able to find a way, but he definitely could not come here by force, and not now. The tremendous suppressing power that the Heavenly Fire Dragon had told him that Tong Xin almost had no chance to defeat it.

Tong Xin heard him and without any hesitation, she carried Ning Xue, while the other hand held onto Ye Wuchen as she prepared to leave.

The purple sea suddenly rummaged wildly. Lava flew in all directions, as if boiling over.

“Wait!!!”

With the loud roar, the rumbling of the purple sea became more violent and the entire Heavenly Fire Volcano trembled. Tong Xin was somehow at a standstill. Before her, a purple flame wall had soared up towards the blue dome of heaven, obstructing the way ahead. Tong Xin retreated a few steps due to the scorching hot flames. Although she was strong, she did not have the defying power like Ye Wuchen to not fear the flames.

Whoosh!

The purple lava soared to the sky, and a tremendous scarlet creature emerged up from the purple sea, bringing along a shower of lava all over the Heavenly Fire Volcano. This was a really gigantic creature, in a blink of an eye it stood over twenty meters tall. Two scarlet red lights towered above as it looked down upon the three of them. Those were huge eyes flickering with red lights, and the tremendous creature with a scarlet dragon beard, a scarlet dragon horn, and half opened dragon mouth exposing flame-like dragon fangs. With great astonishment, it was actually a dragon head.
