Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Mysterious Creature_1

Unfortunately, the True Essence Ball couldn’t venture into the black magma to investigate.

Otherwise, Ling Xiao would have been able to confirm what kind of ghastly thing was inside.

This time, relying solely on a martial artist’s intuition, he sensed that there was something terrifying within the magma, and it was definitely not easy to deal with.

The entity hidden in the black magma was not only cunning but also immensely powerful.

Its strength was unquestionable; any monster capable of surviving in such black magma would be incredibly formidable if it were not.

Could it be an Ancient Hell Dragon?

The Ancient Hell Dragon was not a singular divine dragon but a whole race, so the probability of one being here was quite high.

After all, the Moon Blossom Fairy had sealed the Land of Dragons inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda. It wouldn’t be strange to seal an Ancient Hell Dragon there as well.

Despite the dangers, Ling Xiao had made up his mind. Whatever was hidden in the valley of black magma, even if it was a powerhouse of the Heavenly Man Realm, he had to go down and see for himself.

He longed for the Dragon Soul of an Ancient Hell Dragon, as obtaining it would greatly enhance his combat capabilities.

Fortune favors the bold!

He had always lived by this creed, and besides, even if he died this time, it would only mean elimination and not true death. So, what was there to fear?

With this thought in mind, Ling Xiao leaped off the cliff into the valley below, unfurling his Golden Dragon Wings, and hovered more than ten meters above the black magma.

Drawing near to the magma, that intense heat mixed with a chilling sensation grew even stronger.

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

He dared not fly too fast; in this damn place, he could only probe within a range of a hundred meters, and moreover, the True Essence Ball could not be released below the black magma.

If the True Essence Ball touched the black magma, it would instantly be burned to ashes.

The mutant Ghost Fire Martial Soul wrapped around his entire body, making the unbearable sensation slightly more bearable.

Nevertheless, he did not dare to be even slightly careless, as the fleeting sense of crisis he had just felt made him even more cautious.

He was convinced that the premonition of danger was definitely not unfounded.

Caution is always the best approach, without question.

Even in such a perilous and harsh environment, he still forced himself to remain focused.

This was necessary in order to promptly respond to any crisis that may arise at any moment.

The deeper he flew into the valley, the stronger the alternating feeling of intense cold and extreme heat became. One moment his body felt unbearably cold, the next scorchingly hot.

This discomfort was so extreme it made one wish for the sweet release of death to escape the agony.

Ling Xiao didn’t even dare to breathe because if he did, black flames would enter his body along with the air.

Even a small amount of black flame would expend a significant amount of True Essence to transform and absorb.

It was draining.

If he had enough time, he would have chosen to focus on his practice, but not now. He was suspended mid-air, the flight time of the Golden Dragon Wings was limited, and if he expended all his True Essence here, he would be helpless in the face of real danger and essentially be waiting to die.

Yet, even so, the black flames were still pervasive, seeping through everywhere.

He was not yet capable of sealing every pore on his body, so stray black flames would still find their way inside.

If it were not for his Nine Vein Spiritual Body granted by the Mountain and River Martial Soul, capable of fusing nearly all attributes of energy,

If it were not for his constant conditioning of his body from the Martial Vein Realm onwards, now even his internal organs were incredibly strong,

He might have already been incinerated by the black flames.

Indeed, on the path of the martial artist, just being lucky doesn’t cut it. Without sufficient capability, even if you were placed in front of a pile of treasures, you might not be able to obtain them.

Tantai Lingzi was lucky enough, wasn’t she? Shortly after entering the third challenge, she discovered an Underground City, the Spider Goddess Queen’s stronghold.

Bai Feifei was lucky enough, wasn’t she? She encountered an avatar of the Demonflame Celestial and discovered Black Spirit City.

But what of it?

What cannot be obtained will ultimately remain out of reach.

Due to the limited scope of his exploration and the dense black fog ahead, Ling Xiao had no choice but to slow down once again.

He had thought it through, once the Golden Dragon Wings could no longer sustain him, he would release the Black Dragon King and have it carry him in flight.

The Black Dragon King still had two opportunities for use.

He was not using it now, merely not wishing to waste it without need.

But if the time came when he must use it, then there would be no other choice.

During the flight, Ling Xiao tried to remain calm and quiet, not daring to make even the slightest noise.

Because he did not want to alarm the mysterious creatures in the black lava.

He did not want to provoke their attacks.

He intended to observe the entire black lava valley first, then decide what to do; combat could wait until the end.

As he continued to fly and explore, Ling Xiao was surprised to find that the size of the valley far exceeded his expectations.

He had originally thought this place was about the size of the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, but now it seemed he had vastly underestimated it.

The terrifying black lava had formed a torrential river of lava, and even strange lava fountains appeared.

The thick, terrifying black lava shot up from below, forming gigantic black fire columns with diameters of four to five meters.

Every time Ling Xiao encountered such a thing, he felt terrified.

Because being hit by one would pretty much mean being eliminated.

Although he believed that he was performing very well in the trial, he still could not afford to be eliminated, because he was pursuing first place!

And not just good performance in a simple sense.

According to his estimation, there were still three people inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

One was himself, and the other two were Dai Yuling and Tantai Lingzi.

Regardless of the current situation of the other two, he absolutely could not be eliminated.

The dream of the Ancient Hell Dragon Martial Soul had not been obtained yet, and he had not yet achieved first place in the trial; he would not give up so easily.

Licking his cracked lips, Ling Xiao felt he was like a pill thrown into a furnace.

Only this furnace was fueled by Yin and Yang Huo, alternating between hot and cold, one minute his body exceptionally dry as if it was about to ignite.

The next minute, it was extremely cold, as though his body would be completely frozen stiff.

It was unbearably uncomfortable.

But he dared not stop.

Once he stopped, if he were struck by that gigantic black fire column, he would be instantly reduced to ashes.

Hm?

Just as Ling Xiao saw a stretch of land appearing ahead, a terrifying energy suddenly erupted behind him.

On the originally calm surface of the river, a sound as loud as thunderous explosions rang out, and countless hot or cold black lava splattered in all directions.

In the midst of the terrifying explosive noises, a vastly huge mysterious creature, moving with incredible speed, suddenly exerted its power, flew out from the black lava, and then pounced towards Ling Xiao.

That speed, truly not a bit slower than Ling Xiao who had deployed Cloud Dragon Divine Movement.
