Chapter 781: Bloodline of the Moat Snake (1/2)
The two high priests automatically filtered out Lu Yun’s response of “that’s it”. The volcano was the foremost fire treasure in this tomb realm, a terrifying connate peerless treasure!
It was a treasure that fully released its power every second, and even their group speaker, the priest of earth, found it very difficult to break through the blockade set by the treasure. Only the priest of fire could utilize her legacy and coalesce the fire altar for protection in order to reach the yin door. Alas, she was only able to summon one big enough for herself.
……
“This little task will be a piece of cake.” Lu Yun nodded. “Let’s go.”
Ashu and the Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign were very familiar with the young man’s capabilities. Seeing him beam with confidence, they stuck close to his side and headed for the enormous volcano.
“Hold on!” The priests of fire and earth called out when they saw the trio set off without hesitation. The priest of fire had brought the visitor here to daunt him with the enormity of the task, but who would’ve thought the young man would think nothing of it after seeing the volcano and stubbornly insist on forging ahead anyways!
“It’s connate li fire of greatest yang inside the volcano, one of the strongest connate fires there is. The three of you will be burnt to a crisp within three breaths after entering!” the priest of fire yelled while her colleague looked at Ashu.
He didn’t care about the others, but he couldn’t let Ashu go to his death like this. The holy lord was a special entity, one not nearly as simple as being the spirit of the zombie tree. He wouldn’t be able to defend himself with his current level of cultivation, and more importantly, the treasure spewing forth at full power harbored the extremities of both yin and yang. It was a natural bane to Ashu’s existence.
“It’s just connate li fire.” Lu Yun didn’t even look back as he took his two companions closer to the mouth of the volcano.
“I’ll go with them!” The priest of fire made up her mind after biting down on her lip.
“Go on.” The priest of earth nodded. “Protect Xuan Yuan’s body and don’t let anyone desecrate it.”
“Understood!” Two balls of flame ignited in her eyes as the power of the altar fluctuated over her. Tendrils of flames peeled off from the volcano and formed an enormous altar of fire beneath her feet, which then shot into the volcano like a shooting star.
……
“I can’t believe you told them about refining the four organs of the world.” Ashu looked at Lu Yun with baffled incomprehension.
“It’s not much of a secret anyway.” Lu Yun shrugged. “My replica kept no secrets the moment he accepted the holy kings’ legacy. The holy kings of the underworld and some others have known for a while now. Alright, you two stay close now and keep within nine meters of me.”
He snatched lightly at the south as he spoke, returning with blazing connate fire essence circling around him. It formed a protective shell nine meters around him, defending its occupants from the frenzied flames in the area.
