Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 179: Chapter 136: Secrets Beneath the Earth, Breakthrough, First Use of a New Feature

”Roar!”

The Flame Turtle showed no fear, roaring angrily, its bloodline seemingly transforming into flames. A pillar of fire shot out from its body, colliding with the Fire Dragon.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed.

The surrounding air seemed to be torn apart.

Under the bombardment of a Tier Two Demon Beast’s Bloodline Technique, the Tier One magic Fire Dragon Technique he cast was clearly not up to the task.

This was expected; casting the Dragon Transformation Technique was merely a tactic to buy time for activating the Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, the Primordial Alms Bowl.

In the Magma Lake, surging Fire Spiritual Qi continuously poured into the Flame Turtle’s body. Competing in mana, he knew he stood no chance, so from the start, he planned a quick victory with his strongest strike.

”Roar”

The Flame Turtle roared repeatedly.

Having reigned supreme in the Magma Lake for nearly a thousand years, it was the first time someone dared to challenge its authority.

Its mouth roared.

The entire Magma Lake suddenly boiled.

Fire pillars shot skyward, densely aiming at Fu Changsheng.

Buzz!

At the same time.

The Primordial Alms Bowl in Fu Changsheng’s hand finally operated after absorbing a massive amount of True Essence. The chaotic Qi within the bowl transformed into rays of light, wrapping around him, forming a tri-colored barrier.

Bang bang bang!!

Fire pillars shot onto the tri-colored barrier.

The tri-colored barrier merely quivered slightly, remaining unscathed.

Although the Flame Turtle lacked battle experience, its tiny eyes glanced at the Primordial Alms Bowl and instinctively retracted its neck into its shell.

”Looks like this Flame Turtle isn’t dumb.”

Fu Changsheng stopped activating the Primordial Alms Bowl and instead pointed at the Blood Moon Divine Staff. With a screech, a Silver-winged Snow Eagle manifested, flapping its wings, deftly dodging the fire pillars, and its claws struck at the Flame Turtle.

”Ting ting ting”

Sparks flew, but the Flame Turtle’s shell was as hard as a rock. To it, the Silver-winged Snow Eagle’s attack was like a tickle, boosting the Flame Turtle’s confidence as its slender neck extended once more.

”Now’s the time!”

The use of the Silver-winged Snow Eagle was merely to lull the Flame Turtle!

The primed Primordial Alms Bowl lightly vibrated with a hum, as a tri-colored extreme light shot like lightning towards the Flame Turtle’s head.

Everything happened so fast.

The Flame Turtle didn’t have time to react.

Boom!

Its slender head was instantly blasted into a bloody mess.

Thud.

The massive demon body heavily sank into the Magma Lake.

Fu Changsheng ceased his technique.

The light in the Primordial Alms Bowl faded:

”No wonder it’s a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact!”

Fu Changsheng was very pleased with the Primordial Alms Bowl’s lethality. With his right hand forming a technique gesture, a Spiritual Power materialized, plucking the remaining three intact Fire Fruits from the Fire Fruit Tree.

The leftover gnawed Fire Fruits had lost their medicinal power and held no medicinal value even if picked.

His gaze fell on the massive demon body of the Flame Turtle.

Having slain a Tier Two Demon Beast for the first time, Fu Changsheng felt a hint of excitement.

The battle just now was so easy, thanks to the Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, the Primordial Alms Bowl, but also largely because the Flame Turtle had no battle experience:

”I wonder if the Flame Turtle produced a Demon Pill.”

Generally speaking.

Tier Two Demon Beasts often condense a Demon Pill.

As a Tier Two Demon Beast, it’s a treasure trove, so Fu Changsheng formed a technique gesture, storing the Flame Turtle’s remains into a storage bag, planning to dissect it on the surface.

His body transformed into a stream of light, swiftly ascending.

At this moment.

A familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind:

”Ding”

”You have slain a Tier Two Early Stage Demon Beast in the family’s core territory, eliminating a hidden threat for the clan. You discovered an Earth Fire which can forge the Earth Fire House, earning you one hundred and thirty Clan Contribution Points.”

Simultaneously.

The panel showed his Clan Contribution Points rising from one hundred and two to two hundred and thirty-two.

This was an unexpected delight.

After emerging from underground.

Meizhen had already arrived outside the Scripture Pavilion.

With the crisis over, the Scripture Pavilion was no longer off-limits. Fu Changsheng cast a technique onto the array, and the Scripture Pavilion’s array light curtain dissipated instantly.

Liuu Meizhen quickly entered.

Seeing Fu Changsheng only looking slightly pale without any external injuries, she breathed a small sigh of relief: ”Husband, there was just a strong tremor in Niushou Mountain’s depths, was it....”

Before she could finish.

She saw Fu Changsheng patting his storage bag. With a flash of dawn light, a massive Flame Turtle’s remains appeared:

”This is....”

Feeling the lingering strong presence from the Flame Turtle.

Liuu Meizhen’s pupils tightened:

”Husband, is this a Tier Two Demon Beast?!”

”Yes, a Magma Lake is hidden beneath the Scripture Pavilion, and the tremor was caused by my battle with the Flame Turtle.

In addition, there’s a Tier Two Low-Grade Fire Fruit in the Magma Lake. Meizhen, later, you should activate the Seven-Star Quicksand Array’s power, to protect the Fire Fruit Tree below, as there are some Tier One Early-stage Fire Demons in the Magma Lake whose intelligence hasn’t awakened yet. I’m afraid they might ruin it.”

Fu Changsheng spoke casually.

Liuu Meizhen listened, her heart racing in fright.

To think a Tier Two Demon Beast was hidden in their clan’s core territory; if not for her husband’s discovery, their lives could have been at risk at any moment.

However.

Liuu Meizhen quickly processed the information.

Since there’s a Magma Lake underground, it certainly means Earth Fire has been born.

Liuu Meizhen said:

”Husband, doesn’t this mean we can start constructing the Earth Fire House now?”

”Yes, but Grandmaster Yu intends to enter seclusion soon, so it will have to wait a while.”

Building the Earth Fire House is a major project requiring geological surveys, determining where to construct it, and how to draw the Earth Fire up; all this needs careful examination and cannot be completed in a day.

Liuu Meizhen understood naturally.

Her gaze fell on the Flame Turtle on the ground, carrying a hint of excitement:
