Chapter Ninety-Four: Legacy of Bones
The closer he got to the small volcano, the more intense the fluctuations became, making him feel somewhat uneasy and unsure of what was happening.
The volcano was several hundred meters high, with no grass growing on the mountain, and the ground was covered with large rocks, the dark red rocks looked like dried blood stains, looking a bit eerie.
Arriving at the volcanic crater, standing on the edge and looking down, it's pitch black, nothing can be seen.
Although the fire was not high, it was several hundred feet tall. The dark cave at the top of the mountain was unknown in depth. Without reaching the Seven Star Sky Realm, he couldn't fly freely in the air, so he hesitated beside the entrance of the cave. Ten Directions Heavenly Master
Rumble! Rumble!
A low voice came from the bottom of the small black stove, the sound was not loud, but he heard it immediately.
Calm down, don't think about the anomaly of the small volcano for now. Open up your senses and slowly extend them into the dark cave. Your senses are formless and invisible, unable to see objects, but can feel high temperatures, extreme cold, or signs of life.
He has reached the boundary of the Four Symbols Heaven, his spirit and soul have become even more robust, and the wondrous uses of his perception have also been revealed. As he calmed his mind to investigate, the sound of his perception sped away into the depths like a small spark.
Oppressive heat waves, the intense rock wall was sensed by him, continuing to explore downwards, a fiery power violently shook him, his soul hurt, and the sensation of exploring downwards immediately disappeared.
The volcano mouth, Hei Changkong was like being hit by a heavy blow, his body unstable, and he fell straight into the dark cave.
Hoo-hoo!
A scorching gust of wind howls around my ears, and I can't see my fingers when I stretch out my hand. The further down I fall, the more intense the heat feels on my body.
His divine soul was in some pain, and Ji Changkong could feel himself falling towards the bottom of the volcanic cave. When he had just probed with his spiritual awareness, he knew that there was a rolling hot lava at the bottom of the cave, and once he fell into the lava, he would be melted by it.
His heart racing like fire, his body came down rapidly, unable to control the fall of his body that couldn't even hover in mid-air, and there was nowhere around him to borrow strength except for the rolling heat waves.
A wave of hot air rushed forward, and at the bottom of the dark cave, a thread of light suddenly appeared.
The first ray of light flashed before his eyes, and as he descended, more brilliant rays emerged from the bottom of the cave. A huge lava pool, bubbling with "gurgling" water bubbles, was located deep in the mountain cave, with an overwhelming heat wave carrying a sulfurous smell that made people's noses feel uncomfortable.
At the very bottom of the volcano, what lay before them was a deep, fiery chasm filled with rolling magma. The surrounding rock walls were a deep crimson, like red-hot branding irons, and the bright red glow made Ji Changlong's heart tremble with fear as he continued to descend.
What's wrong?
Falling into a pool of magma, there is absolutely no chance of escape, what to do? A person in mid-air, with no foothold around, how can they avoid it?
No matter how clever he is, there's no way to avoid it at this time.
It's done.
In her heart, she secretly lamented that Ji Changkong had not expected that just because of his curiosity, he would put himself in such a desperate situation.
At this moment, the Tianyuan Pearl hidden in his abdomen suddenly released a strong Yuan force fluctuation, and strands of Yuan force instantly filled his skin, causing his body to emit a faint red glow.
A red glow enveloped him entirely, the scorching heat seemed to be isolated in an instant, and he suddenly no longer had that feeling of his whole body being on fire.
Plop!
He finally fell into the magma, and the magma pool "gurgled" with hot bubbles, the fiery magma suddenly wrapped him up.
Hehe! Hehe!
In the magma, Xi Changkong's body was emitting wisps of smoke, but the red light released by the Tianyuan Pearl actually blocked the high-temperature burning of the magma. Inside the red light, Dust Wind Xi Changkong was unscathed.
Her feet stepped on the crimson flames of the flame crystal, at the bottom of the magma pool, Ji Changkong's face was shocked.
At the bottom of the magma pool, a huge flying bird, several feet long, its body crystal clear like fire jade, a pair of crimson eyeballs seemed to be still sharp and spirited, emitting a strange fiery glow.
The flying bird is at the bottom of the lava pool, making a gesture of spreading its wings and flying high. Its skeleton is like beautiful jade that has been burned red, giving people a strange feeling full of explosive flame power.
Ji Changkong was just in front of the bird skeleton, not far away, his eyes were also facing the bird's pair of crimson red eyes, and they stared at each other.
The fiery phoenix suddenly let out a loud cry, and Ji Changkong couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
That flying bird with the appearance of spreading its wings and soaring high should be the legendary Fire Phoenix. Chen Feng had seen a simple drawing of the Fire Phoenix in some records of strange beasts from the Ji family's hidden scripture pavilion, so after carefully distinguishing it, he immediately recognized that the skeleton of the flying bird at the bottom of the magma pool was indeed a Flame Phoenix.
The phoenix, although not as good as the sacred beast Zhuque, has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, but it is also a rare kind of strange beast that uses fire power. Its single-peak skeleton is at the bottom of the magma, and it's unknown whether its existence causes the frequent eruptions of this small volcano.
A skeleton like a jade fire, with extremely terrifying heavenly and earthly primordial power stored inside, and in communication with the sacred beast Zhuque. For those who cultivate the five elements of fire, once they obtain the Fire Phoenix's skeleton, not only can they absorb the fire primordial power inside to increase their cultivation, but they can also refine the Fire Phoenix's skeleton, whether it is tempering, or refining spiritual treasures, all are infinitely useful.
Baby! ~
With a joyful heart, the red light of Yuanyuan Pearl's protection enveloped her body. Ji Changkong fearlessly approached the fiery lava and walked towards the crimson skeleton of the Fire Phoenix with an excited face.
Suddenly, a wave of intense heat emanated from the fiery phoenix's pair of bright red eyes.
The magma, under the influence of this rolling wave motion, suddenly surged towards Jī Chángkōng, as if it were not an inanimate object. Just now at the volcanic mouth, that intense wave motion that was felt, was released from Huǒ Fèng Huáng's body.
It was also because of this that he walked out of the small inn with a restless mind, which was due to the strange fluctuations released by the Fire Phoenix.
This wave of fluctuations can actually cause harm to the divine soul.
It was another dizzying feeling, under that fluctuation, Ji Changkong's whole body shook and swayed, unable to stand firmly, the red light on his body dimmed, he suddenly felt scorching hot all over, as if his skin was being burned.
Calm down, must calm down! Ji Changkong tried to steady himself, but he didn't know how to control the Tianyuan Pearl inside his body. The red glow that enveloped his entire body was released from the Tianyuan Pearl, and he had no idea how to use it.
Wow!
Magma surged like a flood, striking him from the direction of the fire phoenix, and he was knocked flying a great distance by this wave of magma after barely managing to steady himself.
Fortunately, it was the bottom of the magma pool here. With this impact, Ji Changkong only felt an acid pain in his chest, and there were no other abnormalities.
Hmph!
A strange voice echoed in his soul, a fiery red shadow suddenly floated out from the front of the Phoenix skeleton, the Blood Phoenix lightly fluttered over, an overwhelming flame power swept across the sky, and the entire lava pool seemed to boil up all at once.
Phoenix Nirvana!
His heart sank, and Ji Changkong had heard that after the phoenix died, it could borrow a certain power to be reborn. The phoenix that was reborn would often become even more powerful. He originally thought this was just a legend, but it seemed there was some truth to it.
Although the Phoenix in front only has a skeleton, its soul should still exist. The huge Phoenix shadow is probably activated by the power of the soul. As long as the soul does not perish, once the Phoenix gathers enough flame energy, it indeed has the possibility of Nirvana rebirth. No wonder this Phoenix stays at the bottom of the Flame Mountain Lava Pool.
The flame essence is the most concentrated here, it doesn't know how long it has been at the bottom of the magma pool, looking at its appearance, it seems to have reached a critical moment and is about to be reborn!
A sea of flames surged forth, the magma lake boiling over, that fiery red shadow fixed intently on Ji Changkong, as if to burn him alive.
Hehe! Hehe!
The flames released by the Tianyuan Pearl seemed to be gradually unable to withstand the power of the fiery red illusory flames, and Ji Changkong's entire body was scorching hot, with his skin and flesh about to smoke.
Her eyes changed in an instant, originally black pupils suddenly transformed into silver.
A cold silver light shot out from his pupils, and in that instant, the surging hot waves covering his entire body weakened greatly. Even the flames released from his face and neck were extinguished by this silver light, leaving nothing behind.
The illusory shadow of the fire phoenix, at a glance, Ji Changkong's eyes turned silver, and with another flap of its wings, the rolling magma rushed over even more fiercely.
Knock knock! Knock knock!
Suddenly, from the lower abdomen of Ji Changkong, a sound like a heartbeat came, the sound came from the Tianyuan Pearl, and even the rock magma pool couldn't cover up this sound, the sound spread far away.
Suddenly, a mighty force was released from the Tianyuan Pearl, this force was extremely overbearing, but it did not target any physical objects!
Rolling magma turns into a blazing flame stone. Even the dense fire yuan force within cannot withstand this kind of power.
However, the huge illusory shadow transformed from the Phoenix Soul seemed to be extremely terrified, fleeing desperately towards its skeleton in the distance, as if wanting to get away from Ji Changkong as soon as possible.
Ji Changkong was stunned, his eyes wide open as he stared at his abdomen. His eyes couldn't see it, but his spirit could clearly sense that the force affecting the Fire Phoenix's soul was indeed coming from the Tianyuan Pearl within his body.
The Fire Phoenix's shadow, which had just been acting arbitrarily, was now struggling with all its might, desperately trying to break free from the power of the Tianyuan Pearl. However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not escape the Tianyuan Pearl's grasp, and was slowly being absorbed into it, eventually turning into a faint wisp of flame that disappeared into the pearl.
The huge phoenix shadow vanished into the Tianyuan Pearl, and the magma pool suddenly calmed down. The strange fluctuations from the phoenix skeleton also disappeared at the same time.
His body didn't feel any abnormality, the Heaven Origin Pearl was still in his lower abdomen, flesh and blood, continuously releasing a thread of power to make his skin emit flames, allowing him to be unharmed in the magma.
The spirit of the Fire Phoenix is gone, and it naturally lost its hope for nirvana rebirth. Ji Changkong hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the skeleton of the Fire Phoenix, took out a small dagger and dismembered the skeleton at the joints, stuffed all the bones into a mustard seed bag. As for that pair of fiery eyes, he carefully placed them in a jade bottle.
