Chapter 120: Spirit Channeling Precious Treasure (1/2)

In a place that Nie Tian couldn’t see, the Flame Dragon Armor flew out of the depths of the earth’s core and soared into the night sky.

At that moment, it floated in the air, emanating fierce, fiery light like a wildly burning sun.

WHOOSH!

All of a sudden, the Flame Dragon Armor whistled across the sky and arrived above a lake of boiling lava.

There were hundreds of stones of various sizes within it, with the smaller ones being the size of millstones and the bigger ones being as huge as tall buildings.

BOOM! BOOM!

As soon as the Flame Dragon Armor shifted there and stopped in the air over the lava pool, those stones of various sizes all exploded into pieces.

After two of the enormous rocks shattered, dazzling Earthflame Crystal Strings appeared from within the rubble like slender, flaming ribbons.

In the next moment, those Earthflame Crystal Strings, filled with profound essence of fire, were manipulated by the Flame Dragon Armor and turned into beams of fiery light that suddenly shot towards the armor itself.

The light beams were like water drops that had merged into the sea. Once they touched the Flame Dragon Armor, they instantly vanished into it, not even leaving a trace.

On the other hand, fragmented ancient magical symbols appeared on the surface of the Flame Dragon Armor, along with delicate flame patterns.

After it absorbed all the Earthflame Crystal Strings within the lava lake, the Flame Dragon Armor flew away and proceeded towards its next target.

The Flame Dragon Armor, which had left Nie Tian and spent some time in the magma of the earth’s core, seemed to have developed a fully independent consciousness. It unceasingly sought out Earthflame Crystal Strings within the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range and absorbed them one after another.

Meanwhile, Gan Kang and Lai Yi were standing inside of a vast cave that was close to the peak of a certain cave-filled mountain

Even Gan Kang had not foreseen the heaven-shaking changes that had occurred in the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range. He had originally planned to leave with Lai Yi and go to the Realm of Dark Underworld, but was now trapped by the lava that had filled every corner of the mountain range.

Lai Yi, who came from the Realm of Dark Underworld, was both excited and worried. “Earth Flame Beast! There was actually an Earth Flame Beast deep within the earth’s core under the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range!”

He shouted at Gan Kang, “Why didn’t you tell me about this? Aren’t you the fifth highest ranked equipment forging expert of the Treasure school? Don’t tell me that…even you didn’t know that it was hiding under there!”

Gan Kang shook his head. With an complicated expression, he said, “I really didn’t know.”

“What should we do?” Lai Yi’s eyebrows knitted together. “My two friends have already been killed by experts from the Blood sect. With the Earth Flame Beast having broken free, the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range is in a state of total chaos. We need to leave this place as soon as possible. If we stay here for too long, it will be very dangerous for us both.”

“I don’t know how we can get out of here,” Gan Kang said helplessly.

While the two of them were speaking, the Flame Dragon Armor, which was burning like a sun, suddenly flew over.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Numerous stones in the river below the Flame Dragon Armor suddenly exploded into fragments.

The sparkling Earthflame Crystal Strings within the shattered stones appeared and released an intoxicating, fiery light.

They could faintly see many snaking, criss-crossed flame channels within them, wherein seemed to lie the secret truth of flame power.

Knowing about how precious the Earthflame Crystal Strings were, Lai Yi suddenly let out a screech of excitement, “Earthflame Crystal Strings! There are Earthflame Crystal Strings over there!”

However, only seconds later, he found that the Earthflame Crystal Strings that flew out of the shattered stones had all been absorbed by the Flame Dragon Armor, and after taking in the Earthflame Crystal Strings, the fiery light that it emanated became even more bright and dazzling.

“The Flame Dragon Armor…” Lai Yi gnashed his teeth.

“A Spirit Channeling grade spiritual tool!” Gan Kang’s expression suddenly flickered.

He stared fixedly at the Flame Dragon Armor and shouted, “Lai Yi, that armor that you put up for sale in the Treasure Pavilion is a Spirit Channeling grade spiritual tool! Why did it not show any signs of its uniqueness previously, and why didn’t you tell me that it was such a rare spiritual tool?!”

Gan Kang’s biggest dream was to craft a Spirit Channeling grade spiritual tool and therefore be promoted to a Spirit Channeling grade equipment forger.

Clearly, the fact that Lai Yi possessed a Spirit Channelinggrade spirit equipment but didn’t let Gan Kang study the mysteries within it had made him extremely angry.

Lai Yi snorted and said, “Do you really think that I would take it out and sell it in the Spiritual Treasure sect if it was truly an intact Spirit Channeling grade spiritual tool? The Flame Dragon Armor was incomplete, and greatly damaged. Without the nourishment of those precious Earthflame Crystal Strings, it couldn’t possibly display its true strength, even though it integrated with the Blood Core.

“And the Blood Core was with Nie Tian!

“If I had obtained the Blood Core from him when we were at the cave entrance and sealed the Flame Dragon Armor away, I would have brought it back to my master in the Realm of Dark Underworld. If I succeeded, I would gladly accept any kind of losses within the Realm of Flame Heaven, no matter how great they were.

“Unfortunately…”

With these words, Lai Yi’s expression turned grim and disheartened. “After the Blood Core and the Flame Dragon Armor fused, and the Flame Dragon Armor has slowly healed its damage by absorbing the Earthflame Crystal Strings.

“Every Spirit Channeling grade spiritual tool has its own soul, and now the soul of the Flame Dragon Armor is already fully awakened. Even I wouldn’t be able to do anything now.”

Gan Kang was taken aback by his words. He asked, “Who forged the Flame Dragon Armor?”

“I don’t know.” Lai Yi shook his head and said, “I only know that its last owner died somewhere in a wasted realm within the Domain of the Falling Stars. My master participated in that war. Afterwards, he looted the severely damaged Flame Dragon Armor, but couldn’t find the Blood Core.

“We traveled everywhere to ask about the whereabouts of the Blood Core, and went to farthest corners of the domain to search for it. Only recently did we learn that after changing hands many times, it finally drifted to the Realm of Flame Heaven.

“Actually, by coming to the Realm of Flame Heaven, we had hoped find the Blood Core, merge it with the Flame Dragon Armor, and bring the completed Flame Dragon Armor back to our master.

“Who could have thought not only did we failed to obtain the Blood Core, but we even lost the Flame Dragon Armor. The only thing that I can do now is to return to the Realm of Dark Underworld as soon as possible, inform my master of the strange things that are happening here, and see how he wants to take care of it.”
