Chapter 977: Chapter 975: Blazing Flame Snake! (7 Updates)

After leaving Nine Turtles Mountain, Lin Bai took out the map he had obtained from the Mo Family Three Brothers, unfolded it, confirmed his direction, and without turning his head, he stepped on his flying sword and flew straight off.

"Volcano!"

After flying through the air for half an hour, Lin Bai arrived at his destination.

On the map, the place was marked as a volcano, and the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower was inside this very volcano.

Hovering midair, Lin Bai gazed into the distance and promptly spotted the volcano billowing with thick black smoke and scorching waves of heat. Stepping on his flying sword, he flew straight toward it.

Standing above the mouth of the volcano, Lin Bai looked down inside it.

"The indication on the map is this place, and that Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower should be within the volcano."

"It doesn’t seem to be growing inside the lava, but probably inside somewhere."

Lin Bai leaped down, stepping on the stone walls on either side of the flames, and carefully descended into the volcano.

Indeed, after jumping down, Lin Bai happened to discover several man-sized stone caves in the stone walls on both sides of the volcano.

Lin Bai’s gaze shifted, and he flew towards these stone caves.

Upon entering one of the caves, Lin Bai channeled his spiritual power to wrap around his body, to avoid being burned by the searing air inside the volcano.

Walking through these stone caves,

Suddenly, Lin Bai felt a chilling sensation creeping up his spine.

His eyes lighting up, Lin Bai hurriedly pulled out the Qingge Sword!

Just at this instant, a ten-meter-long thin snake emerged from the stone wall inside the cave, opened its gaping mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, and lunged at Lin Bai.

"A Blazing Flame Snake from the Human Elixir Realm Ninth Layer!"

Quick as lightning, Lin Bai swiftly retreated half a step and slashed down with his sword.

The sharp sword aura directly bisected the rushing Blazing Flame Snake!

The Devouring Sword Spirit activated, sucking dry the demon blood of the Blazing Flame Snake.

Whoosh—

No sooner had Lin Bai killed this Blazing Flame Snake than he heard a series of light sounds coming from the stone cave ahead.

Hearing this noise, Lin Bai felt a tingling sensation all over his body, looking up to see thousands of Blazing Flame Snakes rushing out from the cave ahead, piling over each other and creating a terrifyingsight.

"Oh no, did I stumble into a snake’s den?"

Lin Bai quickly changed his footwork and sped back towards the exit of the stone cave!

With so many Blazing Flame Snakes swarming, Lin Bai could be fatally bitten even by just one.

"I can’t retreat!"

"Then I’ll just have to slaughter them!"

Glancing back, Lin Bai realized retreating any further would mean falling into the lava.

Right then, his eyes flashed with an ominous gleam.

"Swords Skill! One Sword Becomes a Thousand!"

The flying sword vibrated and thrust out from within Lin Bai, and in the moment it darted forward, it transformed into thousands of sword shadows, striking the Blazing Flame Snakes surging towards him.

The flying sword’s shadows were incomparably sharp, and upon hitting the Blazing Flame Snakes, virtually no resistance was met, and they were instantly shattered by Lin Bai.

The Swords Skill, One Becomes a Thousand—an insight Lin Bai had when he witnessed the Martial Soul Secret Skill, Thousand Shadows, in Hua Jingcheng at Martial Intent Mountain. Now, it was the first time he executed it.

The power left Lin Bai feeling unexpectedly delighted!

After slaying these Blazing Flame Snakes and refining their demon blood, Lin Bai collected all the demon beast carcasses and continued forward.

When Lin Bai reached the end of this stone cave,

there was a swiftly flowing river of magma before him.

And within that river of magma, there was a lotus flower rooted in the magma, flickering slightly.

"Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower!"

Seeing the fiery red lotus, Lin Bai couldn’t help but reveal a smile on his face.

"It’s fully matured, and it can be picked now."

"This Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower is worth 100,000 points."

Lin Bai said excitedly.

Immediately, Lin Bai was ready to leap up and pluck the Slaying Core Fire Lotus Flower.

But as soon as Lin Bai made a move, the magma surrounding the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower churned violently.

"Human, you have come to the wrong place."

A majestic voice echoed throughout the Melting Cave.

Lin Bai, gripping the Qingge Sword tightly, looked solemnly ahead.

In the magma ahead, a giant red serpent revealed its face.

This serpent was blood-red all over, with scales that bore some black spots, and notably, there were dragon horns growing on its head!

"Flood Dragon?"

Lin Bai stared dumbfounded at the huge creature emerging from the magma, momentarily shocked.

"No, it’s not a Flood Dragon; it hasn’t fully completed its transformation!" Lin Bai’s expression quickly returned to calm. "With the strength of the Great Perfection of the Human Elixir Realm, it’s not impossible to fight!"

Roar——

The Blazing Flame Snake King, upon revealing itself from the magma, immediately lunged its giant head towards Lin Bai.

The terrifying force permeated the air, suffocating.

Lin Bai hastily executed the Nine Rotations Sword Steps to dodge aside, causing the Blazing Flame Snake King to slam its head directly into the stone wall.

Boom——

The stone wall began to shake violently, signaling that the volcano was starting to erupt.

"Seeking death!"

Lin Bai’s eyes sharp as swords, he stared down the Snake King and sliced down with a sword aura that reached the heavens and split the earth!

"Sword Heart Clarity!"

"Annihilation Sword Skill!"

With one slash from Lin Bai, the terrifying cut descended.

The unparalleled sharpness of the sword skill caused even the Snake King to scream in agony.

While Lin Bai fought a fierce battle with the Blazing Flame Snake King inside the Melting Cave.

At that moment, on top of the volcano, suddenly two stunning figures appeared.

"Hong Su sister, the news I heard on the Five Peaks said that the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower is right below this volcano," one tired-looking girl said softly as she looked down into the volcano.

"If it’s news from the Five Peaks, then it naturally won’t be wrong. But Suxin, can the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower break the Ice Extinguishing Skill?" Another girl in red asked curiously.

These two women were none other than Ye Suxin and Hong Su.

Ye Suxin said, "It can’t, but it can weaken the power of the Ice Extinguishing Skill, reducing the damage it causes."

Hong Su said, "Then naturally, we shall make our way down to the Melting Cave."

Boom——

While Ye Suxin and Hong Su conversed atop the volcano, violent collision noises came from inside the volcano.

"Not good, someone is fighting in there!" Ye Suxin’s face immediately turned frosty.

"It seems it’s not just us who have discovered the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower; other warriors have as well," Hong Su said, her expression turning ugly.

"Today, no matter who discovered the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower, they must either stay behind or die!" Ye Suxin said chillingly. "The Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower, today I must have it!"

"Whoever stands in my way shall die!"

With an extremely determined look, Ye Suxin didn’t hesitate at all, leaping down towards the volcano.

Hong Su chuckled bitterly, now fully aware of the importance of the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower to Ye Suxin.

It’s no exaggeration to say that for the Slaying Core Fire Lotus Flower, Ye Suxin would dare to risk her life against anyone.

Because this Spiritual Medicine could weaken the damage caused by the Ice Extinguishing Skill!

Lessening the Ice Extinguishing Skill’s harm to that unborn child!
