Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Ji Mingze’s Earth Fire!

Perhaps it was after killing Ji Mingze that Lu Chen let his guard down a bit.

Fortunately, he had a habit of using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, and with enough Spiritual Power at his disposal, the speed of the tongue of fire was fast, but it did not harm Lu Chen.

At the critical moment, Lu Chen not only withdrew his hand, but also stepped back several paces, creating distance from the flame.

"Hoo——"

He exhaled a turbid breath, already holding a storage bag in his hand.

And the tongue of fire, after missing its target, quickly retracted back into Ji Mingze’s Dantian!

"Spiritual Fire?"

Lu Chen’s brows furrowed slightly; he could sense the aura of the Spiritual Fire.

But it seemed to be somewhat stronger than Spiritual Fire.

So...

"Earth Fire?"

Lu Chen found it somewhat unbelievable.

The entire Casting Gear Pavilion was reliant upon Earth Fire for its existence.

Without Earth Fire, a third-rate sect like the Casting Gear Pavilion would have no chance of surviving in the Cultivation World of the Eastern Domain, let alone sit above other third-rate sects and between the second-rates.

Even occasionally, it could deal with first-rate sects.

That illustrated just how precious Earth Fire was; how could it possibly appear within a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like Ji Mingze?

Lu Chen could hardly imagine; if this were true, he might have provoked big trouble!

Fortunately, Lu Chen had already silenced the person by killing him, and the Extreme Dan Sect was far away in the Western Domain, with a Middle Domain separating them from the Eastern Domain.

"If it really is Earth Fire, and if I allow my Spiritual Fire to absorb it, I wonder if my Spiritual Fire could transform into Earth Fire!"

Lu Chen gathered his thoughts, looking at Ji Mingze’s body burning in his flames, thinking about how to draw out the Earth Fire once more.

But after much deliberation, he couldn’t come up with any methods.

Their fight had caused quite a commotion, possibly attracting the cultivators who had been watching at the foothills earlier.

"Better to take the corpse away first!"

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Chen picked up the Heavenly Inquiry Spear lying nearby, planning to use it to lift the body while keeping as much distance from the Earth Fire as possible.

However, just as he pierced the corpse with the spear, the tongue of fire burst out again, winding up the shaft as if vowing to burn Lu Chen to death.

Lu Chen hurriedly let go of the spear, and as the tongue of fire retreated, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, wondering what to do next.

Earth Fire could greatly enhance his own strength; how could he just give up?

Moreover, Lu Chen also noticed something amiss—the fire attached to the corpse, while still burning, seemed unable to damage the body any further.

Clearly, the corpse had become a hiding place for the Earth Fire; if it were burned away, the Earth Fire would directly face Lu Chen!

"Perhaps I should add more fire?"

An idea struck Lu Chen, and he decided to give it a try.

He picked up the Heavenly Inquiry Spear again, and as expected, the Earth Fire emerged instantly, but this time, Lu Chen exerted a fierce force in his hands and flung away the spear.

Without a medium, the Earth Fire couldn’t harm Lu Chen, and as the tongue of fire retreated, Lu Chen also conjured a ball of Spiritual Fire and flung it onto the corpse.

"Whooosh——"

With the fire intensifying, Lu Chen commanded the Heavenly Inquiry Spear back into the air beside him and sat down cross-legged, carefully observing the changes in the corpse.

But after a few moments, he was shocked to discover that the body wouldn’t burn any further!

Despite the fierceness of the flames, the body remained unscathed after that brief time.

"Impossible, there must be a trick to it!"

A gleam flashed in Lu Chen’s eyes as he surmised that the Earth Fire was playing tricks.

Spiritual Fire possessed intelligence, and surely the intelligence of Earth Fire would surpass Spiritual Fire!

But what level could Earth Fire’s intelligence reach?

Lu Chen racked his brains, not daring to even blink as he constantly stared at the flames.

Time passed, as long as it takes an incense stick to burn.

The power of the Spiritual Fire had diminished slightly.

And Lu Chen finally saw it clear.

It wasn’t the fire’s power dissipating, but rather...

Being absorbed into the body!

"So, it intends to make use of the power of this Spiritual Fire for itself!"

Lu Chen suddenly understood; had he been duped by the Earth Fire?

However, it wasn’t too late to realize!

"Think not of swallowing a single bit more!"

He stood up with a cold laugh, executing a spell he had learned from the Casting Gear Pavilion!

"Draw the Fire onto Oneself!"

When the spell began, the burning power was rapidly drawn by Lu Chen from the corpse!

But at that very instant, the Earth Fire moved too!

It took advantage of Lu Chen’s spell, hiding within the flames and rushing toward the space between Lu Chen’s brows!

"Damn, fooled again!"

Lu Chen’s mind was greatly alarmed, retreating continuously, but with the spell just initiated, he couldn’t stop on time. The Earth Fire didn’t even need to follow deliberately, sticking closely to him!
