Chapter 199: Worked Hard for Nothing

Xiang Shaoyun's earth shattering attack crushed the flame beast king's attack, but the impact still sent him tumbling down the mountain . He coughed blood repeatedly as he rolled down the steep mountain in a sorry manner .

However, his attack had also opened up an opportunity for Chen Zilong and Li Yaxuan . The two joined hands and attacked, blasting the flame beast king apart . The flame beast king's demonic core appeared before them . Not far away, Xie Sanqian was watching everything unfold, and he coveted the demonic core greatly, but he did not dare to snatch something from Chen Zilong and Li Yaxuan .

"We got the demonic core!" Chen Zilong said as he quickly grabbed it .

Li Yaxuan did not bother fighting over the core with him . She was here to help him in the first place . She glanced at Xiang Shaoyun who was tumbling down the mountain and sighed, "Without him, we wouldn't have been able to kill the beast king so easily . "

Chen Zilong also glanced in Xiang Shaoyun's direction and smiled . "He is a worthy opponent . " He then tossed the demonic core to Li Yaxuan and said, "Sister Xuan, keep it . Let's go down together . "

"Don't you need it?" Li Yaxuan looked at Chen Zilong in astonishment .

"I don't," Chen Zilong said confidently . Standing there with his fiery Qilin Arms, he looked incomparably heroic .

At this time, the other group had just finished off the flame beast king they were fighting as well . However, the group was made up of many different parties . Thus, they started fighting among themselves for the demonic core .

Although Chen Zilong and Li Yaxuan had arrived later than some of them, they were the first to go down into the crater . As for Xiang Shaoyun, he stabilized himself and stopped falling . However, his inner organs were still aching, as he had sustained internal injuries from the flame beast king's attack .

"Looks like I had worked hard for nothing . " Xiang Shaoyun smiled helplessly .

If he hadn't broken through not long ago, he wouldn't have faced the flame beast king head on . He rejoiced that he was wearing king-grade armor . Otherwise, he would have suffered an even worse fate . He did not feel discouraged . After dissolving some healing herbs in his astral cosmos sea to heal himself, he started climbing toward the volcanic crater again .

When Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the summit again, Huo Linfei, Qian Chen, Fan Ren, and the others were still fighting . He knew that there was still one demonic core up for grabs . He would have to rely on himself to get it .

Currently, the holder of the demonic core was Fan Ren . He alone suffered the combined assault of Huo Linfei and Qian Chen, yet he still remained standing and was not defeated immediately . It was obvious how valiant his combat prowess was .

He had an extremely powerful defensive technique that formed a shiny shield around him, which was how he had been able to stop the combined assault of Huo Linfei and Qian Chen . At the same time, he swept his massive sword around madly, forcing the two to retreat instead .

"I don't care who you are . Hand over the demonic core or die!" Huo Linfei said as his figure blurred . He swung his blazing saber, sending a saber attack from a tricky angle and demolished Fan Ren's attack . He followed up with even more attacks that placed Fan Ren in a terrible predicament .

Qian Chen was no pushover either . He stabbed his sword forward repeatedly, sending numerous sharp sword energies that rained down on Fan Ren's shield, creating numerous sparks . No matter how powerful Fan Ren's defense was, facing two opponents as powerful as himself, he had no way of breaking free and entering the crater .

Right this moment, Fan Ren caught a glimpse of Xiang Shaoyun who was not far away from them . A crafty smile formed on his dark face as he shouted to Xiang Shaoyun, "Catch the demonic core!" Then, a red item was seen flying toward Xiang Shaoyun .

Xiang Shaoyun blanked out slightly before he quickly caught the red item . That successfully shifted Huo Linfie and Qian Chen's attention away from Fan Ren .

"Bastard! I'll deal with you later!" Huo Linfei cursed before dashing toward Xiang Shaoyun .

Qian Chen did not hold back either . He also rushed at Xiang Shaoyun while roaring, "Kid, hand over the demonic core, and I will spare your life . "

Xiang Shaoyun had an unsightly expression as he found that what he had in hand was merely a piece of flint . He quickly retreated while explaining, "This is not the demonic core!"

As he said that, he tossed the flint away, trying to pull himself out of trouble . Huo Linfei and Qian Chen immediately realized that they had been tricked . Alas, Fan Ren was already nowhere to be found . Obviously, he had entered the crater .

"Damn it! We were tricked! Go!" Huo Linfie shouted to Qian Chen, his face falling as he gave chase .

Qian Chen hesitated slightly before he rushed down the crater as well . As for Xiang Shaoyun, he heaved a sigh of relief as he grumbled, "Damn it, I nearly got myself screwed because of that fellow . "

Xiang Shaoyun did not stop, and he quickly rushed down the crater with no hesitation . The crater's wall was extremely steep . The moment they entered, they would start sliding down the hot wall and suffer the extreme heat .

Xiang Shaoyun was sliding down with his bottom on the wall . The moment his bottom touched the hot wall, he started shouting in pain as the heat burned away his pants . He felt incredibly embarrassed, but fortunately, nobody was paying attention to him . In such a situation, nobody could be bothered to pay any attention to something that insignificant .

Even Xiang Shaoyun himself couldn't be bothered . He immediately stabbed his saber into the wall to control the speed of his fall . He would definitely not want to fall straight to the bottom like this .

After all, if he fell all the way down, he would fall straight into a large amount of lava . The terrifying temperature of lava was enough to turn them all into crisp . The coldstar stone was still growing weaker . It was going to stop working at any moment .

Realizing that, Xiang Shaoyun quickly dissolved the icesnow fruit in his astral cosmos sea . Otherwise, it would be very hard for him to resist the extreme heat . Right after he dissolved the icesnow fruit, a frost aura coursed through his body, making him feel much better .

"The icesnow fruit has yet to reach the king grade . It won't be able to last long . I need to get the demonic core before the effect ends," Xiang Shaoyun decided .

At this time, his Nether Soul Domain showcased its prowess again as the scene of what was going on below him unfolded in his mind . Down below were a large number of flame beasts . They were all residing in the lava and spitting terrifying tongues of flame . They were all tightly clustered around a clump of pulsing flame, not allowing anyone to approach .

As for Chen Zilong, Li Yaxuan, Fan Ren, Huo Linfei, and Qian Ren, none of them dared to move rashly . There were a few others who had arrived much earlier . All of them were hanging on the wall, staring at the clump of flame at the middle of the beasts . Their gazes were burning .

Everyone knew that they were looking at the millennium earthcore fire .
