Chapter 459: The Flame Wyrm!

Chapter 459 The Flame Wyrm!

The Flaming Lotus Enchantment of Purification started running. However, it was not easy to purify those Evil Shadows because the process would be extremely painful.

Though the essence of the purple lotus was as thin as a needle, it contained extremely powerful fire elements, which were very violent and could easily melt rocks.

Gao Mohan and the others were all at the Immortal Level. Though their bodies were not as hard as copper or iron, they had profound cultivation and could withstand the purifying power of the purple lotus.

With cold sweat on their foreheads, Gao Mohan and the other two trembled slightly, their faces twisted, looking like they were in great pain.

When the purifying power of the purple lotus got into their bodies, they felt like a burning needle was stabbing and melting their flesh and blood. This kind of pain would last for a long time.

Gulp!

A bubble broke in the magma lake, but it didn’t attract Chu Xun’s attention until a refreshing smell of herb came.

He looked back, and his eyes lit up. He saw that a red lotus was blooming in the middle of the magma lake.

It was a Mysterious Flaming Lotus.

Chu Xun was surprised. Judging from the fragrance of this lotus, he could tell that it was at least a thousand years old, and was superior to any upper-grade spiritual elixirs.

It was truly a great medicinal herb.

Swoosh!

Chu Xun rushed toward the lotus at a lightning speed and grabbed it.

The lotus was shining brightly with hazy red light.

Bang!

Just when Chu Xun was about to hold onto the lotus, the magma in the lake exploded, and a bloody huge mouth bit toward him at a high speed.

Chu Xun was shocked and thought to himself that he had been too careless, tempted by the precious lotus. He forgot that there was usually a divine beast guarding a treasure like the lotus.

The mouth was so big, and a single tooth of it was almost as big as Chu Xun. He thought that he was too tiny compared to the big mouth.

Bang!

Chu Xun slammed one of the monster’s teeth with his palm, and with the counterforce, he bounced back to the lakeside and stared at the monster.

“Is it a dragon?” he wondered.

Chu Xun widened his eyes as he looked in disbelief at the monster that was rolling in the magma. The monster was more than 30 meters long and had two thick horns on its head. It was even difficult for two grown-up people to encircle one of its horns with their hands joined together. With magma flowing around it, the monster looked very terrifying.

Roar!

The monster roared at Chu Xun, and its voice was as loud as thunder, causing the whole underground palace to shake.

Chu Xun narrowed his eyes. Judging by the two short and straight horns on its head, he could tell that the monster was a Flame Wyrm.

Whoosh!

The Flame Wyrm swam in the magma, causing a horrible magma whirlpool in the middle of the lake. With a boom, the magma surged violently in the whirlpool and was sent flying toward Chu Xun overwhelmingly like a fire dragon.

The scorching heat and pungent smell of sulfur made Chu Xun frown slightly. His aura was surging around him as he activated his cultivation with his will.

He displayed the Formula of Kill!

The word “kill”, shining brightly with purple light, expanded in the wind and rushed toward the dragon of magma.

Boom!

As soon as they collided together, they exploded, sending magma to fly all over the place. The moment the magma fell onto the ground, it caused wisps of white smoke.

Roar!

The Flame Wyrm roared and whipped toward Chu Xun with its huge and horrible tail, from which magma was dripping.

Chu Xun drew backward quickly and dodged it.

Bang!

Broken rocks flew everywhere, and the ground cracked. Terrifying magma erupted out of the ground, causing the air to burn with crackling sounds.

Whoosh!

Seeing that its first attack failed, the wyrm whipped toward Chu Xun once again with its tail at a lightning speed.

Chu Xun moved as fast as a ghost and kept dodging. He didn’t know how old this wyrm was, but he knew that it was even more powerful than Gao Mohan and the others.

Boom! Boom...

Chu Xun dodged, but the huge tail chased after him. Every time the tail fell, it would make the whole place shake. The tail split the huge rocks and caused the ground to crack, where magma erupted.

Whoosh!

The wyrm slapped toward Chu Xun with its tail once again.

Chu Xun could smell the burned smell of his own hair. He turned around quickly and punched at the wyrm with his fists shining with purple light.

Bang!

After the earth-shattering collision, the wyrm’s tail was knocked back by Chu Xun’s fist while Chu Xun himself was thrown back by the force as well.

Chu Xun was surprised by the power of the wyrm. In terms of strength alone, this wyrm was as strong as him, and was much stronger than any of the other powerful cultivators there.

At this moment, the wyrm roared in a low voice, turned around, and charged at Chu Xun.

Bang!

Chu Xun landed a punch on its mountain-like head. With this blow, he knocked back it, but he was sent backward into the magma lake with a splash, causing the magma to splatter everywhere.

Seeing that Chu Xun fell into the magma lake, the wyrm raised its head and roared. It stared at the place where Chu Xun fell with its lantern-sized eyes.

The moment Chu Xun fell into the magma, his clothes were instantly burned into ashes, making him totally naked.

“It feels so good.” Chu Xun’s skin, fair and tender, was shining with multicolored light. He actually managed to resist the erosion of the magma.

He had Ancestral Dragon’s Bone in his body, once bathed in Ancestral Dragon’s blood and Suan Ni True Blood, so the magma might be something horrible to ordinary people, but to him, it could nourish his skin and bones.

Chu Xun swam in the magma like a fish, as if he were taking a hot spring bath. He refined and strengthened his skin, bones, and limbs with a large number of violent elements of fire in the magma.

He swam toward the Mysterious Flaming Lotus.

The rootstock of the lotus was as thick as a child’s arm. It was rooted deep into the bottom of the magma lake, and Chu Xun didn’t know how long it was.

He drew near and sniffed the lotus before biting at it.

Crack!

The rootstock was as crispy as sugarcane, and it tasted sweet and delicious. Chu Xun took a bite, but before he could taste it carefully, it turned into a stream of fire and went down into his stomach.

Then, his arms and legs began shining, and his internal organs resonated with it. The Ancestral Dragon’s Bone in his body gave off bright gold light, and he felt very comfortable at the moment.

It was indeed a great medicinal herb, he thought. He could feel that the function of his body had been improved, and the effect of the lotus was very obvious.

Chu Xun dived deeper and swam down along the rootstock of lotus. Then, he found that it was actually over 100 meters long.

He came to the bottom of the lake, only to see that magma was erupting from more than ten holes on the riverbed, and the lotus was rooted in one of them.

Chu Xun bit off a piece of the lotus root, then swam upward about two meters and took another bite... He would bite off a piece of the lotus every two meters he covered.

At last, he totally took 50 bites.

He could feel that his cultivation had been greatly enhanced, and the function of each part of his body had reached a perfect state.

He chose to bite the lotus every two meters apart because it would not hurt the lotus too much so that it could recover on itself after some time.

He didn’t know how old this lotus was, and he did not want to destroy it.

Pop!

He jerked his head out of the magma and found himself so close to the lotus flower. He made a magic signet and quickly picked up the lotus flower and stored it.

The Flame Wyrm thought that Chu Xun had died in the magma, and didn’t expect him to come out of the magma alive and reap the lotus flower that belonged to him.

Roar!

The wyrm was furious and bit toward Chu Xun with its bloody huge mouth.

“Don’t be so noisy.” Chu Xun picked his ears impatiently and rushed out of the magma. He charged at the wyrm’s mouth as if he were trying to throw himself into it.

Crack!

The wyrm bit down but found that it could not close its mouth.

That was because Chu Xun was pushing its upper teeth upward with his arms and pushing its bottom tooth downward with his feet.

The wyrm roared and shook its head violently.

“Can you stop roaring? Don’t you know that your mouth is stinky?” After he said that, his hands began shining brightly with purple light while his feet exerted a down-pushing force.

Crack crack...!

With clear sounds of cracking, Chu Xun broke two of the wyrm’s upper teeth and crushed two of its bottom teeth.

The wyrm howled crazily in pain.

“Stop roaring, or I’ll break your other teeth.” Chu Xun jumped out of the wyrm’s mouth and fell into the magma lake.

Roar!

The wyrm was so furious that it almost went crazy. How could it not become angry after a paltry creature in its eyes broke its teeth?

It whipped toward Chu Xun with its huge tail.

Chu Xun could swim as fast as a fish in the magma and dodged the attack easily.

Bang!

The tail splashed the magma and sent it over ten meters high in the air.

The wyrm was so huge that every turn of its body would cause a huge whirlpool in the lake. It tried to wind its body around Chu Xun and twist him into pieces.

Chu Xun jumped into the air from the magma and landed on the top of the wyrm’s head. Then, he slapped it.

Bang!

The power behind the strike was overwhelming that the wyrm’s head was pressed down into the magma by it.

The wyrm roared, raised its head out of the magma, and shook it violently, trying to shake Chu Xun off its head.

Chu Xun grabbed its horns and stayed steadily on its head as if he had taken roots there.

The wyrm went mad and jumped away. It hit its head on the rock wall of the underground palace. With a boom, the palace began trembling continuously. The rock wall was smashed into pieces and rubble flew in all directions.

Bang Bang...

The wyrm bumped its head against everything around. The rock walls and huge stones were all smashed into pieces. The palace shook violently, causing rocks to fall from the roof.

“It looks like you want to play it tough,” Chu Xun yelled. He grabbed the wyrm’s horn with one hand and clenched his other hand.

Bang!

He punched the wyrm on the head. The wyrm fell to the ground headlong and caused the ground to crack inch by inch.

Bang Bang...

Chu Xun landed more than a dozen punches on the wyrm’s head, causing blood and meat to fly in the air and tearing off several scales.

The wyrm roared in pain and dived into the magma lake.

Chu Xun grabbed its two horns with both hands, shouted softly, and suddenly twisted his body. The huge wyrm was thus turned over in the magma.

Splash Splash...

Chu Xun grabbed the two horns tightly and kept twisting them. The wyrm rolled in the magma lake, stirring up the magma and causing it to splash dozens of meters high in the air.

“Don’t think you’re stronger because you’re huger.” After saying that, Chu Xun lifted the wyrm by its two horns and threw it away. The roaring wyrm hit the rock wall hard and made it collapsed.

Chu Xun went after it and held its tail with both hands. He swung it again and slammed it against the other rock wall.

The wyrm screamed, and its lantern-sized eyes were filled with fear. In its eyes, this little creature was so scary.

Chu Xun took one step to the wyrm and took its tail with both hands to shake it.

Crack Crack...!

The clear sounds of bones cracking echoed through the underground palace.

“Stop it. I surrender,” the wyrm begged in human language.

“I thought you were mute.” Chu Xun mocked. A powerful beast at the Immortal Level like the wyrm had to be super intelligent.

“What kind of monster are you?” The wyrm stared at Chu Xun and asked with curiosity in its eyes.

Chu Xun was speechless. This wyrm regarded him as a monster.

The wyrm glanced at Chu Xun and jumped into the magma. It then stuck its head out of the magma and looked at Chu Xun warily.

“Can you transform into a human being?” Chu Xun asked. He felt it awkward to talk to a mountain-like monster.

“How can I transform before I reach the Gold Immortal Realm?” The wyrm looked at him with contempt.

Chu Xun was slightly stunned. It seemed that the wyrm had been staying there for so long that it knew nothing about the Fruits of Transfiguration.

“Look at them.” Chu Xun pointed to Huang Hai and the others in the maze formation and said, “They are originally all beasts.”

After staring at them for a while, the wyrm shook its huge head and said, “That’s impossible. With their cultivation, how could they transform into human beings?”

“How long haven’t you been out?” Chu Xun asked.

“I don’t know. I was captured and brought here when I was very young. Since then, I’ve lived here the entire time to guard the Mysterious Flaming Lotus.” When the wyrm spoke of this, it looked indignant. “Originally, I would be able to get out of this place when the lotus becomes mature. But you ruined it.”

“Guard the Mysterious Flaming Lotus? For whom?” Chu Xun asked.

“The owner of this place, a powerful human being that is even stronger than you,” the wyrm replied.

Chu Xun curled his lips. “It seems this beast is very vengeful. It didn’t forget to belittle me even at this moment.”

“This cave has long been abandoned,” Chu Xun said.

“Impossible.”

“It’s true. So many of us have entered this place, and if the owner were still here, he would have shown up long ago,” Chu Xun replied.

“He might have gone out for something. He always wanders around and would leave for dozens of years. You broke into his place and stole his lotus. He would definitely kill you when he comes back. Just wait and see,” the wyrm said.

“Do you believe that I can kill you and roast you first before he comes back?” Chu Xun glared at the wyrm.

The wyrm trembled in fear, and only then did it remember how terrifying Chu Xun was.

“Listen to me,” Chu Xun continued, “The world outside is in chaos, and the Lost Races have appeared again. This place has been abandoned, and I think the owner must have died. There is a kind of fruit called Fruits of Transfiguration in the outside world. It can help a beast transform into a human being. These people have eaten the fruits and thus become human beings.”

The wyrm widened its huge eyes, very confused.

“Do you understand me or not?” Chu Xun asked.

The wyrm shook its head. “No,”

Chu Xun was speechless. He guessed that the wyrm had been captured and brought to that place just when it was born, so it knew little about the outside world.

“How about I bring you to pick the Fruits of Transfiguration and help you transform into a human being and you follow me to battle around the world?”

“No,” the wyrm shook its head, “my master will kill me when he returns.”

“How dare he?” Chu Xun said, “If you stay with me, no one dares to kill you.”

“Really?” The wyrm looked at Chu Xun with disdain. “He could defeat you with a single finger of his.”

Chu Xun’s face suddenly darkened. “Does it have to be so sarcastic?”

“Are you going with me or not?”

“No.”

“Well, since you don’t want to go with me, I have to kill you.” Chu Xun’s aura surged around him.

The wyrm shivered in fear and quickly hid its head beneath the magma.

Chu Xun sneered, jumped into the magma lake, and landed directly on the head of the wyrm.

Bang!

He punched it, causing it to scream in pain and magma to roll.

Bang Bang...

Chu Xun punched the wyrm more than a dozen times and almost knocked it out.

“Stop it. I’ll go with you,” the wyrm begged for mercy.

Bang!

Chu Xun’s fist gave off purple light as he knocked the wyrm down to the bottom of the lake with a punch.

“I’ve already said that I’ll go with you.” The wyrm felt a little aggrieved.

“Did you say that? I didn’t hear it.” Chu Xun swung his fist again.

“I’ll go with you.” The wyrm roared.

Chu Xun withdrew his fist and said, “I heard it. You wouldn’t have had to suffer this if you had said that earlier. You asked for it.”

The wyrm was so angry that it wanted to swallow Chu Xun at once. How shameless he was, the wyrm thought.

“When I leave this place, you can go with me,” Chu Xun said.

The wyrm nodded.

“Tell me about this place.”

“I don’t know.”

Chu Xun clenched his fists again.

The wyrm hurriedly added, “I really don’t know. This place is full of formations that keep me from leaving here.”

Chu Xun was speechless. “This wyrm knows nothing about the world and this place. It’s useless except for that it’s strong in terms of battling strength.”

“Do you know if there is any Soul-Curing Flower here?” Chu Xun asked expectantly. He came to this place mainly for the Soul-Curing Flower.

“Yes.” The wyrm nodded.

Chu Xun’s eyes glittered brightly with purple light, and his heart beat faster in excitement. But soon, he calmed down and asked, “Didn’t you say that you know nothing about this place?”

“Well, I do know about the Soul-Curing Flower,” the wyrm replied, “but I’d suggest you give up if you are thinking about picking some Soul-Curing Flowers.”

“Why?” Chu Xun asked.

“The Soul-Curing Flower is guarded by a Flaming Qilin. It was captured and brought here with me at the same time. I’m responsible for guarding the Mysterious Flaming Lotus, while it is responsible for guarding the Soul-Curing Flower. I learned this from my master when he talked about it in front of me.”

“There is Soul-Curing Flower in this place!” Chu Xun’s heart trembled again. No matter who was guarding it, he was determined to get it.

“Since you and that Qilin share a similar fate, could you try to talk to it?” Chu Xun asked.

“Don’t even think about it. It is a top divine beast born as a Beast Lord, and I’m not qualified enough to talk to it,” the wyrm said.

Chu Xun fell silent. It seemed that the wyrm was not lying. But no matter what, he had to get the Soul-Curing Flower.

“You stay here and don’t come out for the time being,” Chu Xun said.

The wyrm didn’t know why Chu Xun asked it to do so, but it still nodded.

“By the way, what’s your name?” asked the wyrm.

“Chu Xun.”

...

In the Purplish Lotus Enchantment of Purification, Gao Mohan and the other two woke up one after another. The Evil Shadows in their bodies had been purified.

“Why do I feel like my muscles, bones, and soul have become stronger?” Gao Mohan was in high spirits.

Logically speaking, it would take them a lot of energy to purify the Evil Shadows, so they should have felt tired instead.

“Me too,” Ge Zhan said.

Diao Xingyi nodded as he had felt the same change.

“We’ll know after we ask our Taoist friend,” said Gao Mohan.

“Where is he?”

The three of them found that Chu Xun was not around.

“Look!” Ge Zhan pointed at the magma lake and exclaimed.

Gao Mohan and Diao Xingyi looked at the magma lake and were stunned.

After leaving the bottom of the lake, Chu Xun didn’t get out of the magma immediately. Instead, he floated in the magma and drifted along the magma waves.

“Taoist friend.” Gao Mohan shouted.

The Purplish Lotus Enchantment of Purification was soundproof, so Chu Xun could not hear his voice, but he sensed it. He looked up and saw Gao Mohan and the other two people look at him with a dumbfounded look.

Chu Xun went ashore and removed the formation.

“Have the Evil Shadows in your bodies been purified?” Chu Xun asked.

The three of them did not answer but still looked dumbfounded.

“You...” Gao Mohan looked at the magma lake and then at Chu Xun.

“I was so bored, so I went down to take a bath,” Chu Xun replied in a casual tone, “the elements of the fire contained in the magma are good for our health. Do you want to have a try?”

The three people hurriedly waved their hands to refuse. The temperature of the magma was so high that they would be burned to ashes the moment they got into it, even though they were at the Immortal Level.

They did not think they could enjoy a bath in it like Chu Xun.

“Your body is unparalleledly strong in the world,” Gao Mohan said in surprise.

“Well, you should say it’s invincible,” Chu Xun said with a smile; he had reasons to be so confident. After all, no one ever possessed the Ancestral Dragon’s Bone, bathed in the Ancestral Dragon’s blood and Suan Ni True Blood except for him.

Gao Mohan and the other two people exchanged a look and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. They had been with Chu Xun for a long time, but they still could not tell what Chu Xun’s limit was. They guessed that Chu Xun didn’t use all his strength when he fought on his own against the three powerful figures of the Lost Races.

So, how strong was Chu Xun?
