As the Universe Turns - Chapter 762
Chapter 762 Eye of the Flaming Sun
The so-called Flame Sea was not an ocean in the true sense of the word, but a magma zone. Lava valleys, magma basins, and scorching magma that would occasionally spray out from underground had completely turned this several hundred li radius into a dead zone.
Even birds can’t get through here, In the Flame Sea, there were only lava beasts hidden in the depths of the magma. Because of this, very few people would normally come to this dangerous place. However, for some unknown reason, there were many cultivators nearby. It was said that some ancient treasure had appeared, causing natural phenomena in the vicinity and attracting a large number of people.
Xiao Chen and Meng Xian’er had already arrived at the top of a lava valley. Bursts of blazing aura surged up from below, causing them to feel extremely uncomfortable.
After walking for about seven or eight miles, the two of them found a dozen dried corpses under a few rocks. There was still a trace of demonic aura left on the corpses.
Looking at the dozen dried corpses, Meng Xian’er frowned and said, “These people were killed by that demon. Looks like she is in this sea of flames …”
“Are they going to kill anyone?”
Looking at the corpses beneath the rocks, Xiao Chen said indifferently. If it was said that he had killed everyone in the Thunder Xia Secret Land to obtain the Eye of Spirit Veins, then why did he kill these cultivators who had entered the Flame Sea now?
Meng Xian’er shook her head, “I don’t know, maybe there was a conflict. Or perhaps, the Eye of Spirit Veins also alarmed these people. These people were greedy before they were killed by that demon.”
“Let’s go” Xiao Chen didn’t care how many people the demon had killed here. In short, he had to obtain the Eye of Spirit Veins.
The two of them continued forward. About two hours later, they arrived at another lava valley. The magma in front of them surged like waves from the sea. There were many cultivators nearby, but none of them dared to approach them. Not only was it because of the blazing magma, it was also because of the terrifying flame beast hidden beneath the magma.
However, at this moment, there were two figures standing on the edge of the cliff. On the left was a woman floating in Qingyi, casting a spell. The other person was a black-clothed man, controlling a scarlet-red ring of fire, approaching the tumbling magma at the bottom.
These two were the two people from before. Just as Meng Xian’er said, they were two experts under Shen Cangming. The woman’s name was Qing Chan and the man’s name was Ming Tong.
“Sure enough, it’s there …”
Seeing these two people in the distance, Meng Xian’er’s expression did not change much. When the nearby cultivators saw two more people suddenly arrive, they were all shocked. Especially this white-clothed woman, who was not stained with dust, was like Fairy in the painting. Her peerless immortal aura made people unable to help but be enchanted with her.
Meng Xian’er ignored the gazes of the people nearby and slowly turned her head to look at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen’s gaze naturally landed on the lava valley in the distance. At this moment, she did not say anything else. She kicked her feet and flew over the lava zone towards the valley.
At this moment, in the valley, Qing Chan’s hands were tied with strange seals. Streaks of azure profound light wrapped around her. She looked at the black-clothed man on the other side and said, “They’re coming, hurry up.”
“I know, just block it …”
Ming Tong’s voice was faint. As soon as he finished speaking, a strand of profound energy shot towards the scarlet red flame ring. The magma below immediately surged even more ferociously. Clearly, the Eye of Spirit Veins was hidden beneath the magma.
At this moment, Xiao Chen had already flown towards the valley. His speed was as swift as the wind and was unstoppable. Qing Chan, however, was not flustered. She smiled lightly and formed a seal with both of her hands. The word “Go” came out from her mouth. Under the magma, two thirty to forty zhang tall Flame Beasts immediately rushed out and devoured Xiao Chen.
“Roar–”
The roars of the two Flame Beasts shook the heavens, causing the magma beneath to tumble endlessly. This scene caused the cultivators in the distance to continuously retreat in fear.
Seeing the two Flame Beasts pouncing towards him, Xiao Chen’s expression remained calm. He raised his palm and his movements were complete. With a wave of his palm, the power of the Nine Suns whistled out. With a “bang”, it struck a Flame Beast’s body and instantly knocked it back into the rolling magma.
However, the other Flame Beast still rushed forward. Xiao Chen turned around and moved to its side. With a kick, the Flame Beast’s waist was kicked into two pieces and it fell into the magma.
Everyone was even more shocked by this scene. They knew how terrifying this lava beast was. This person in front of them could easily deal with two of them. Could it be that he was actually an expert above the Cave Ruins Realm?
Inside the valley, Qing Chan still wore a smile. The seal on her hand changed. Under the magma, even more flame beasts immediately appeared. It was hard to imagine that the magma beasts in the sea of flames seemed to be able to be used by her. At this moment, under her control, they pounced towards Xiao Chen.
When Meng Xian’er saw this, she instantly took out the Ice Jade Lotus and flew up, helping Xiao Chen defend against the countless lava beasts that had emerged from beneath the magma.
Very quickly, a large amount of Flame Beast corpses had already piled up nearby. Such a shocking scene caused the cultivators behind to be shocked. They were all thinking in their hearts, who exactly were these people, who possessed such great abilities …
Suddenly, the magma beneath the valley suddenly gushed to both sides, and in the middle, streams of flames flew into the Spiritual Vein Ring controlled by Ming Tong.
The entire sky was filled with rage, as if it was going to burn everything in front of it. The burning sensation was even more suffocating. At this moment, all the cultivators in the distance could feel an exceptionally powerful aura of Spiritual Energy. At this moment, they were all stunned. What exactly was that flaming current that was running all over the sky?
Apparently, the Spiritual Vein Eye that appeared in Wuwang Sea this time was the Flaming Sun Eye in the Frost Lake, Flaming Sun, Dragon Abyss, Giant Soul, Heavenly Light, Netherspring, and Crimson Heaven.
“The Eye of Spirit Veins has been drawn out. You deal with these Flame Beasts first.”
Xiao Chen waved his sleeve and broke through the obstruction of the Flame Beasts in front of him. At the same time, a sinister smile appeared on Qing Chan’s face. With a swipe of her finger, a mysterious force instantly surged towards Xiao Chen. In the end, it seemed as if it had formed an invisible barrier. With a “boom” sound, it blocked Xiao Chen from entering the valley.
At this moment, the originally bright and clear sky suddenly surged with dark clouds. There was a faint sound of thunder. Looking at Qing Chan, her clothes were still as enchanting as ever. However, her pair of pupils had already turned into strange red demonic pupils. They were as sharp as a cat’s eyes, and there was a blood-red line in the middle.
“Demonic Qi … What a powerful demonic Qi!”
At this moment, not only did Xiao Chen and Meng Xian’er feel a demonic aura, even the cultivators in the distance felt an extremely strong demonic aura. It was as if they couldn’t breathe.
