Chapter 210 (1/2)

The lava was no longer nourished by the millennium earthcore fire, but it was still extremely hot. That was understandable, as it was impossible for the extreme heat to fully dissipate in a month. Ordinary Kings would never be able to enter the lava pool. As for Long Hui, he was an exception as his bravery was backed by actual strength.

He was already a powerful King with his cultivation level of sixth-stage Skysoar Realm. On top of that, he cultivated the power of flame and had a king-grade armor. All these factors combined allowed him to remain unharmed in the lava for a short amount of time. He had a large amount of kingly presence protecting him, but the moment he sank into the lava pool, his protection quickly withered under the extreme temperature.

Long Hui then activated his cultivation method and started absorbing the flame power in the lava to strengthen and help himself become accustomed to the temperature. The king-grade armor he wore came into effect as it started blocking the lava outside his body, stopping him from being completely burned.

Even with the multiple layers of protection, Long Hui was still not having an easy time. He was already sweating profusely.

I need to locate the millennium earthcore fire as soon as possible. I won't be able to last longer than an hour here, Long Hui told himself.

He started circulating his cultivation method at full power as he searched for the millennium earthcore fire. Because he couldn't see anything in the lava, he wasn't swimming around and searching with his eyes. Instead, he had to rely on his other senses.

He spread his fingers and sent out strands of energy from his fingers. The strands of energy started spreading out and searched the surroundings for him like feelers. He was trying to search for a spot where the power of flame was particularly intense, which would most likely be where the millennium earthcore fire was hiding. His search method was decent, but unfortunately for him, the millennium earthcore fire was no longer present. All his efforts were futile.

Xiang Shaoyun could sense clearly everything Long Hui was doing. He noiselessly avoided the latter's senses, careful as to not reveal himself while moving around.

This fellow is definitely no pushover. I need to deal with him carefully, Xiang Shaoyun thought to himself. He completely withdrew his aura and blended into his surroundings to the point he was hardly noticeable within the lava.

Long Hui searched everywhere relentlessly to no avail, and he started growing anxious.

Has the millennium earthcore fire really left? Long Hui was indignant, and the indignation nearly drove him mad.

In his madness, Long Hui roared to his surroundings, ”I refuse to believe you are not here. Show yourself!”

Bang! Bang!

At the same time, he sent numerous palm attacks everywhere, creating ma.s.sive waves in the lava pool. It made it much harder for Xiang Shaoyun to remain still. He quickly moved aside to avoid being hit. And the instant he moved, Long Hui noticed the traces of movement.

”There!” Long Hui cried out in exultation and charged over. When Xiang Shaoyun sensed Long Hui heading toward him, he knew his position had been exposed.

d.a.m.n it, this old man sure is quick, Xiang Shaoyun cursed inwardly before pus.h.i.+ng the lava around him forward in an attempt to slow the old man down. He then quickly moved away, withdrew his aura, and stopped moving again.

He was contemplating on whether it would be better for him to take this chance to leave. But that thought was immediately suppressed. He remained still, waiting for an even better opportunity before acting.

”Millennium earthcore fire, you won't escape me! You belong to me, Long Hui!” Long Hui howled. As he said that, he formed a claw and sent it flying toward a spot near Xiang Shaoyun.
