Lord of Bones

Chapter 700 Mutated Earth Spirit
Li Yuan's past glory and current strength make him an existence that cannot be ignored.

What's more, he was once the prodigy of the Wenhe family.

Entering the Xuanyin Thunder Realm is a journey full of opportunities and dangers.

The treasures of nature and earth belong to those who are destined to have them. This is an unchanging law.

In this area, it is inevitable that the same sect will kill each other.

After repeated persuasion from fellow disciples, Zhou Feiyan's frown finally relaxed a little.

She took a deep breath, shifted her gaze away from Li Yuan, and turned to the boiling lava lake.

“Forget it, let’s just put our affairs aside for now.

"Let's wait until we get the treasure, then we can discuss other things."

Although the voice was cold, it no longer had the hostility from before.

Seeing this, Li Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Xuanyin Thunder Realm, which is fraught with dangers, it is always better to have one more ally than one more enemy.

He and everyone else turned their attention to the lava lake.

As the topic changed, the atmosphere around them seemed to become much more relaxed.

Li Yuan also learned the reason why Zhou Feiyan did not leave.

Lingyun Sect will send four powerful men who are at the half-step Huawen realm to protect the geniuses who make it into the top ten of the Thousand Kings List.

Once the genius being protected breaks through to the Half-Step Huawen Realm, the mission of reaching the Half-Step Huawen Realm will be completed, and he will be handsomely rewarded by the sect.

The flames of the lava lake were still raging, and none of the powerful Yuan warriors on the lakeside dared to cross the lake and reach the other side.

The Leirong Palace is actually one of the places in the Yinlei Palace where the earth fire is used to refine gold ingots.

In the center of this lava lake, the ancient furnaces and tripods scattered in an orderly manner witnessed the birth of countless precious ingots.

They themselves have become rare treasures, containing profound fire elemental energy.

The lava lake seemed to be connected to the group of stone temples above, but an invisible barrier separated them.

It is said that this was the precious land carefully selected by Emperor Yin Lei to re-refine the Yuyan Fan.

Due to concerns about interference from heavenly thunder, the place was sealed underground in order to ensure purity during the refining process.

Li Yuan listened to the introduction of Chu Luyan and others, his eyes passed through the sky above the churning lava lake and fell on the two huge stone doors on the opposite rock wall.

The surface of the stone gate is covered with traces of time, but its solemnity cannot be concealed.

The restrictions around the lava lake reached the extreme of the Thunder Melting Palace, making it difficult to fly or walk in the air here.

The Yuanzhe could only rely on his own physical strength, looking for a tiny gap to stand on the edge of the boiling lava, and move forward cautiously.

Before entering the Leirong Palace, Feng Zhenyue specifically reminded Li Yuan that there might be a Molten Fire Dragon hidden in the stone hall.

Although Li Yuan rushed forward all the way, the Molten Fire Dragon never appeared.

At this time, the strong men from all major forces were standing on the edge of the lava lake, looking at the surging lava and the huge stone gate opposite.

Obviously, there might be Molten Dragons here.

The Molten Dragon is a fifth-level earth spirit that lives in magma.

They have the talent to control magma, their bodies are flexible and strong, and they can move freely in the lava.

As a fifth-level earth spirit, the Molten Fire Dragon's reputation is widely spread among alchemists and treasure refiners, and it is respected as a peerless assistant in refining elixirs and ingots.

"Shh-"

Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.

Finally, the Yuanzhe could no longer suppress his inner impatience and suddenly jumped up, using the huge furnaces in the lava lake as stepping points to accurately leverage the force.

His body drew a beautiful arc in the air and quickly approached the rock wall on the opposite bank that seemed to be within reach.

Following this brave leap, more figures seemed to be drawn by some invisible force and followed suit, and the lava lake suddenly became lively.

One after another, figures flashed into the lake, and the furnace under their feet became a bridge to the other side. Every leap was accompanied by sparks flying and lava roaring.

The accident happened suddenly.

When the first elementalist was about to cross the center of the lava lake, the magma below suddenly cracked violently, like an awakened beast opening its bloody mouth.

A fiery red shadow flashed out from the magma as fast as lightning and tightly wrapped around the legs of the Yuanzhe.

The fiery red shadow pulled hard, and the figure of the Yuanzhe was instantly pulled into the boiling magma.

"what!"

The screams echoed in the empty lava cave, the voices filled with despair and unwillingness, and were instantly swallowed up by the roar of magma.

Soon, the Yuanzhe turned into a wisp of green smoke, rising slowly and interweaving with the surrounding hot air.

At this moment, all the Yuanists who jumped into the lake stopped their actions, with a look of vigilance in their eyes.

They all turned their eyes to the churning magma, trying to find the answer.

Under the magma, several red figures could be vaguely seen swimming quickly.

Their bodies merge into the lava, yet they emit dazzling light as they swim.

Their entire bodies are covered with scales that are interwoven with red and golden colors, as if countless small flames are jumping on them, releasing heart-pounding heat.

Occasionally, he would raise his head high with sharp eyes, like two balls of flame that would never go out, revealing an indescribable majesty and power.

The hot air from the nostrils interweaves with the surrounding air like flowing flames.

Along their backs, a line of flames is clearly visible, as if injecting them with endless vitality and energy.

Even in the boiling magma, these creatures seem to be at ease.

The heat of the magma seems to be just a pleasure for them, not a torture.

"Molten Fire Dragon!"

With a cry of surprise, the lava lake exploded instantly.

All the elementals who entered the lake opened their eyes wide and looked at the fluctuations in the lava in horror.

They were like a colony of ants that were suddenly disturbed and fled in all directions, but on the way they looked back with a bit of reluctance and greed.

This place has been sealed for who knows how many years, and those molten fire dragons are no longer ordinary earth spirits.

They have become monsters without intelligence and act only on instinct.

The Yuanists leaped up and rolled in the air, trying their best to avoid the violent molten fire dragons.

Despite the danger, they chose not to leave.

The huge temptation makes it impossible for them to give up easily.

They adjusted their posture in the air, preparing to try to reach the other side again.

"Humph, they are just some mutated level 5 earth spirits. Do you think they can stop us from obtaining treasure?"

An old man at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm snorted coldly.

Powerful energy fluctuations were surging all around him, as if an invisible storm was brewing around him.

His body moved like an eagle soaring into the sky, stepping repeatedly on the cauldron in the lava lake, aiming directly at the stone gate opposite.

"laugh--"

As the old man rushed forward, the surface of the lava lake seemed to be torn apart. Several rays of blazing red light accompanied by violent gusts of wind rushed towards him like tentacles in the lava.

Seeing this, the old man just sneered. He clenched his palm and a long sword surrounded by flames flashed out.

As the sword shook, several sharp sword auras swept out and heavily chopped down on the red light that was sweeping over.

"clang--"

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and several molten fire dragons that rushed out of the magma were chopped away by the sword energy. Scars appeared on their bodies, and liquid like magma flowed out.

They let out a shrill hiss and fell into the boiling magma again.

After repelling the attack of the Molten Fire Dragon, the old man did not stop, but continued to rush towards the stone gate opposite.

Seeing that those molten fire dragons could not pose a threat to the old man, the patience of the Yuanzhe who was still by the lava lake was gradually worn out.

His figure quickly rushed out like a meteor, rushing to the other side of the lava lake with great momentum.

"Let's go too."

Seeing this, Zhou Feiyan said without hesitation.

He leaped up lightly, tapped his toes in the air, and shot out like an arrow.

Chu Luyan, Su Yimo and other powerful men of Lingyun Sect followed closely behind, like a group of eagles spreading their wings, swooping down from the air and heading straight to the opposite side of the lava lake.

Although there are a large number of Molten Fire Dragons in the magma lake, the powerful men from the surrounding major forces are also elites.

For a moment, a melee was about to break out above the vast lava lake, with all kinds of elemental force fluctuations intertwined.

Although Li Yuan's cultivation level is only at the half-step Huawen realm, he has endless methods and his strength is by no means inferior to any powerful person.

He followed closely behind several powerful men from the Lingyun Sect without any fear.

When he passed by several towering furnaces in the lava lake, the lava lake below suddenly surged.

Accompanied by a "hissing" sound, a thick column of magma spurted out like an angry fire dragon and rushed towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan moved his body and used space teleportation to cleverly avoid the fierce attack.

Due to the special environment here and the powerful array suppression, his teleportation distance is greatly limited.

He only teleported less than a hundred feet away and still failed to completely escape the Molten Fire Dragon's attack range.

Li Yuan had already anticipated the limits of space teleportation.

Therefore, the moment he appeared, the wings behind him suddenly spread out and lightning and flames surged.

He sped up and rushed to the other side, like a flash of lightning across the lake.

However, in this special environment, even with the help of the Thunder Flame Wings, he could not fly for a long time.

Just as he escaped the attack range of the Molten Fire Dragon, he was forced to land on a furnace on the surface of the lava lake.

At this time, on the vast magma lake, countless figures flashed and shuttled in it, and they struggled forward under the siege of lava dragons.

The lava dragons rushed out of the lake like flaming tentacles, attacking the Yuan people with bared fangs and claws, trying to devour them.

The shrill screams came one after another and never stopped.

Figures fell from mid-air or from the furnace, falling helplessly into the rolling magma.

Although they were able to temporarily block the erosion of magma with their Yuan power, when the lava dragon attacked frantically, they were like helpless boats swaying in the strong wind and huge waves, and were eventually swept to the bottom of the lake and disappeared.

With the help of the Thunder Flame Wings and space teleportation, Li Yuan was able to easily navigate the siege of the lava dragon.

He tried his best to avoid head-on confrontation with these ferocious creatures, increasing his speed to the extreme and quickly crossing the lava lake.

When dealing with the lava dragon's attack, the powerful men around seemed to have forgotten their original goal of reaching the other side as soon as possible.

They were in a tough fight, giving Li Yuan many opportunities to dodge and advance.

After Li Yuan approached the rock wall opposite the lava lake, he did not rush up immediately.

In such a dangerous environment, we must never take our guard down.

He observed his surroundings vigilantly, making sure there was no potential danger before moving forward.

"call out--"

In the moment when Li Yuan hesitated, several sounds of breaking wind were heard around him.

He looked up and saw several figures passing by quickly.

These Yuanists were as smart as Li Yuan and did not get too entangled with the Molten Fire Dragon.

Moreover, his choice was more decisive than Li Yuan's. He jumped directly onto the narrow platform less than ten feet wide below the rock wall.

As those figures landed on the narrow platform, Li Yuan felt the surrounding lava lake begin to churn violently.

The red magma was bubbling, constantly gathering strength like boiling water, and then suddenly exploded, emitting scalding and blazing temperatures, as if to melt the void.

The sudden heat wave made Li Yuan realize that he could not hesitate any longer.

He took a deep breath, gathered his energy, jumped up, and landed steadily on the narrow platform.

Although the space here is narrow, it gives him an inexplicable sense of security.

In the reflection of the sudden burst of fire in the lake, Li Yuan was surprised to find that the stone door that was previously tightly closed on the rock wall seemed to have cracked into a gap as wide as a meter.

The gap was more than thirty feet high, leaving the stone door in a half-closed state.

Before Li Yuan had time to think carefully, the strong man who had jumped onto the platform before had already impatiently passed through the crack in the door.

“No matter what danger is hidden behind the stone door, we must go and see it.

"The Feather Flame Fan is nothing, but if there is any clue about the Earthly Blade, it is still worth taking the risk."

Li Yuan pondered secretly in his heart, looking at the huge stone door that was half-open.

Ancient patterns are carved on it, as if every stroke contains the power of time, and a faint light shines through the crack in the door.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan's figure flashed lightly and he passed through the gap in the door that was large enough to accommodate several people.

As he entered completely, the red light from the lava lake that had penetrated through the cracks in the stone door gradually faded and finally disappeared without a trace, leaving only a quiet stone hall.

Inside the stone hall, the air seemed to freeze and time seemed to slow down.

The surrounding stone walls are as smooth as mirrors, reflecting the faint light, making the entire space appear both spacious and profound.

The ground is paved with ancient black stones, each of which seems to carry the weight of history.

Li Yuan's gaze slowly wandered in the empty stone hall, and finally fixed on a strange light at the end of the stone hall.

It was a teleportation array, engraved with intricate elemental patterns and flashing with a faint light.

Different locations around the teleportation array are inlaid with earth stones to infuse it with energy.

It was obvious that the strong man who had entered before went to another place through this formation.

He took slow steps, each one appearing to be extremely cautious.

When Li Yuan finally stood in front of the teleportation array, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuan finally made up his mind and resolutely stepped into the teleportation array.

Suddenly, the surrounding space twisted, and a powerful force enveloped him, carrying him across the boundaries of space.

In a flash, Li Yuan found himself in a completely different world.

The surroundings were no longer the empty stone palace just now, but were filled with colorful energy light.

These lights intertwined like brilliant fireworks, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
