Chapter 235: Sea of Fire
“ROAR!”
Another terrifying roar rang out from beneath the ground, the valley trembling vehemently throughout. Large boulders on the cliff tumbled down, while the gigantic boulders that formed the waterfall creaked madly, as if they were about to crumble at any moment.
An extremely powerful aura subtly seeped out of the cracked ground. The roar’s powerful sound wave caused the wilted trees to suddenly crash to the ground and the earth to rupture very quickly, forming a huge ravine.
Han Shuo no longer sent his three yin demons in separate directions for surveillance. Instead, he immediately called them back to his side to verify the disturbances in his surroundings. Han Shuo also couldn’t help but vault away from the rocks and take to the air because the scorching heat had already transformed the boulders into bright red heated irons.
The scorching demon generals that’d stalked out of the magma attacked the cyclops without any hesitation. In concert with the terrifying sound blast, the demon generals sent streams of magma from the river shooting towards the cyclops’ enormous body.
Three four-meter tall demon generals strode out from the ground’s depths and blocked the cyclops’ path of retreat as their flaming bodies charged towards the cyclops.
The cyclops’s enormous body was twice as tall as the demon generals’. Its azure muscles sturdy as granite, the huge shovel it was holding with both hands became its weapon to block the attacks. Every single swing embodied monumental strength and caused gusts of hot air to spin wildly within the valley.
Loud crackling explosions continuously echoednear the cyclops’ body as every swing of the shovel deflected a stream of magma, causing a spray of sparks to fly everywhere. Rocks hidden within the magma exploded on contact, shrapnel flying off in all directions.
When some wilted small vegetation off to the side was brushed by the burning rocks, they immediately went up in flames. Instantly, a raging fire started to rapidly spread, enveloping the entire valley in a burning ocean.
A flaming rock the size of a skull was batted to the side with contemptuous ease. Yet the furious force with which it flew towards Han Shuo forced him to flee in a sorry fashion.
With a loud crack, the flaming rock smashed into the hard rock where Han Shuo had previously been standing. A splendid shower of sparks decorated the air as the searing hot flame burned a hole clear through the boulder, causing the people around to gasp at its miraculousness.
Firespark Stone, the ultimate material for refining weapons! Han Shuo gazed intently at that fiery piece of rock, and immediately knew from those flames what this miraculous rock was. This was the material that cultivators required most of all to refine their weapons – the Firespark Stone.
Han Shuo reached out with his left hand, and a wisp of purple spellfire rose up like a sliver of a soul. It carried a sinister aura and slowly enfolded the Firespark Stone.
The moment the scorching heat made contact with the cold aura, dense white smoke immediately billowed out alongside a squeaking sound. When Han Shuo felt the Mystical Glacial Spellfire take effect, he immediately activated his magical yuan. When his magical yuan covered the purple flame of the Firespark Stone, it flickered up even more beautifully.
Wisps of white mist began to rise from the Firespark Stone. Under the impact of the sinister aura, the fire burning on the Firespark Stone was slowly extinguished as it slowly calmed to a normal appearance, finally becoming a normal fire-red colored boulder, red light sparkling from within like a ruby.
Seeing the flames on the Firespark Stone extinguish, Han Shuo immediately revealed a joyous expression and placed this rock, that was the size of a skull, into his space ring. It would be of great use in the future when he refined weapons.
Whether they were magical cultivators or demonic cultivators, cultivators couldn’t avoid needing some special flames for refining weapons. Some particular materials would only be melted with special flames. The Firespark Stone was very special. If it wasn’t exposed to flames, it acted the same as any other rock, not even the least bit warm.
But once the Firespark Stone was touched by the tiniest spark, it would immediately start burning intensely. Only once the energy contained within the Firespark Stone was completely consumed would it become the most ordinary of rocks. During this process, the enormous fire energy of the Firespark Stone was able to melt any material, which made it convenient for cultivators to refine their weapons.
Han Shuo felt extremely happy after laying his hands on a piece of Firespark Stone, and started searching around with a bright gaze in order to find more stones from the sparks in the sky.
At that moment, a fiery streak of a dragon tore through the sky and landed close to the beautiful girl riding a pegasus. There was an even larger piece of Firespark Stone burning where the dragon had landed, shrouding the entire area around it in a sea of flame.
The four experts who’d been hiding in the valley had already raised their vigilance to the limit. Due to the chaos in the valley, traces of some of them had been revealed. They’d all discovered each other, but none of them took action.
For someone to appear in this valley and not be afraid in the face of such a terrifying scene, they either had mental issues, or were powerhouses who had no need to be afraid. All of the experts knew that they couldn’t make a careless move without fully understanding the situation. That’s why, even after knowing that there were others in hiding, they didn’t dare easily blow their cover.
As the larger piece of Firespark Stone burned intensely, it heated up the surroundings, causing the pegasus girl to sweat profusely, releasing a sweet fragrance. Due to the sweat, the curves of her tall breasts became even more alluring.
There was no way to extinguish the Firespark Stone without special means once it started burning. As Han Shuo looked at the Firespark Stone endlessly consume its energy, he hesitated and finally flew out, moving towards that area.
“Who is it?” The pegasus beauty called out softly. She’d clearly noticed Han Shuo’s actions, since her long eyelashes fluttered quickly as she watched the approaching Han Shuo cautiously.
“I bear no ill will, I just want to pick something up!” Han Shuo called out softly and slowly revealed himself. He was afraid that if he acted too quickly, it would cause this girl to suddenly attack.
Han Shuo was also cautiously on guard during this entire process. He had already called out the Demonslayer Edge, and a yin demon watched her every move and expression. If this girl made the slightest expression of hostility, Han Shuo would mercilessly make the first move.
