Chapter 1745 (Raw 1757): World Destroying Dragon Flame

Under normal circumstances, if one wanted to enter the unexplored region of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land, one would need to form a team and travel there step by step .

The team would have to cross several dangerous forbidden lands, forcefully charging their way through .

By the time one reached the depths, one would already be mentally and physically exhausted . One would find it hard to protect oneself; there would simply be no energy left to go and explore other places .

With the ancient transportation formation, one could be transported directly into the unexplored land of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land, saving a lot of effort .

“No matter what, normally, no matter how capable we are, we would not be able to reach this place . Since we are here, everyone should properly explore the place and not do anything rash . ”

Senior Ma called out for the people in the team to form groups and explore the surroundings .

Everyone had people whom they are familiar with . They formed groups of twos or threes and set out to explore cautiously .

The ones who came here were experienced sect elites . They did not let the excitement get to their heads .

The din of an intense fight rang out . Several cultivators had probably run into some unknown ferocious beasts .

Immediately, the stronger people of the team soared into the air and rushed over to provide reinforcement .

Xiao Chen swept his gaze across, slightly opening his Heavenly Eye, to observe the situation in the distance .

He saw several strange flaming wolves with a fiery light coming out of their eyes . As they wagged their tails behind them, they fought a battle with the cultivators from Senior Ma’s team .

Those were Three-Tailed Flame Wolves . Their physical bodies and physiques had been cleansed by dragon flames since young and were far stronger than those of the same species in the outside world .

These Three-Tailed Flame Wolves that Xiao Chen saw seemed to be even more incredible .

Even several Major Primal Core Venerates working together actually had difficulty ending the battle quickly . They only managed to kill these Three-Tailed Flame Wolves when a late-stage Major Primal Core expert rushed over .

“The physical bodies of these Three-Tailed Flame Wolves have been cleansed by dragon flames and will sell for large sums of money in the outside world . This is especially so for the three flaming tails . They are exceptionally precious and can be forged into fire-attributed Dao Tools . ”

After the cultivators killed the Three-Tailed Flame Wolves and split the materials, they all showed joy on their faces .

After that, the many groups suffered incessant attacks from ferocious beasts .

Everyone in the team was careful and cautious, staying not too far from other members . There were surprises but no danger; the team did not get damaged at all .

Xiao Chen and Meng Zhuang were in the same group, and things were rather peaceful for them; nothing startling or dangerous happened .

Suddenly, Xiao Chen stopped and frowned slightly, sensing a dangerous aura .

“Boom!”

The ground cracked open, and a long snake with a horn and covered in fiery patterns charged out ferociously .

“It’s a Flame Jiao Snake! Everyone, be careful,” Meng Zhuang shouted and soared into the air, throwing a heavy punch at the creature .

Meng Zhuang’s aura flourished greatly as he punched . The blow was like a meteor landing, heavy and powerful .

With a loud rumble, Meng Zhuang knocked this Flame Jiao Snake into the air . When it landed, it kicked up boundless dust clouds .

The people of the team quickly took advantage of this opportunity to retreat .

After landing, the Flame Jiao Snake turned around and stuck out its forked tongue . Then, it launched itself over again .

Xiao Chen’s eyes were very sharp . He noticed that the place where the snake was struck had only some faint marks; there was no sign of injury at all .

“Whoosh!”

Xiao Chen gently pushed off the ground and roared ferociously . All the dragon bones in his body crackled as he gathered his Vital Qi and punched .

The dragon veins carried six Cauldron Force of Vital Qi, letting it surge out . At the same time, they vented a berserk Dragon Might .

“Boom!”

The Dragon Might, combined with six Cauldron Force, struck the Flame Jiao Snake’s body .

Had this been a regular Major Primal Core Venerate, that punch would have been sufficient to knock it into the air and shatter its internal organs .

However, this Flame Jiao Snake displayed a startling defense . The flame patterns on its skin flickered with a glow that looked like flowing water .

The Flame Jiao Snake turned around a few times in the air and charged back again .

Xiao Chen shouted coldly, and a faint layer of purple flame burned over his body . With a flash, he landed on the Flame Jiao Snake’s head .

He stretched out his hand, and the Seven Deadly Sins quickly merged into one . After infusing it with Great Dao Energy, he did not hesitate to stab it down .

“Pu ci!” Blood spurted out . The saber stabbed in by about seven centimeters but did not go any deeper .

“Brother Xiao, be careful . ” Just at this moment, Meng Zhuang shouted anxiously .

Strong winds blew by Xiao Chen’s ear, along with surging heatwaves . The Flame Jiao Snake’s tail whipped down at him like it was a flaming wind .

Xiao Chen pulled out his saber to defend himself, fiercely swinging it to repulse the snake tail that contained an enormous force .

“Bang!” The flaming wind scattered, and the saber light created a long, bloody gash on the snake tail .

Xiao Chen used the rebound to move back, performing a few somersaults in the air to neutralize the excess force .

When Meng Zhuang saw the situation, he relaxed his expression . Then, he worked together with Xiao Chen to deal with this Flame Jiao Snake .

After a long, intense battle, they finally chopped off the head of this Flame Jiao Snake .

The two were incredibly tired . The Flame Jiao Snake’s defense and lifeforce were astounding . The battle had not been easy for the two .

Of course, Xiao Chen had not gone all out, either .

If he used his full power here, there would be no need for him to continue exploring this Dragon Flame Ancient Land .

“Brother Xiao’s strength is truly admirable . If I had run into this Flame Jiao Snake alone, my odds of victory would be slim,” Meng Zhuang said with lingering fear in his heart .  

The Flame Jiao Snake’s combat prowess already rivaled a peak Major Primal Core cultivator’s . Furthermore, this was the Dragon Flame Ancient Land, where its strength was amplified even further .

Meng Zhuang’s words were not him trying to be humble at all .

Xiao Chen smiled in silent acknowledgment . Then, he called out, and the team started to cut apart the Flame Jiao Snake’s body .

Unsurprisingly, Xiao Chen made the most contributions, so he got the Flame Jiao Snake’s most precious part, the king horn .

The exploration continued in an orderly fashion . This was not the first time Senior Ma’s team worked together .

The progress was orderly, the division of labor, clear . The harvest was pretty good .

However, everyone knew that this was just small earnings . If they stopped here, it would not justify the use of the ancient transportation formation that was activated only after one hundred years . They had to find a huge fortuitous encounter .

After most of the day passed, everyone felt parched . Their minds and bodies were significantly drained .

The demand on the body here was greater than in the outside world .

When Senior Ma saw the situation, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s rest for a while first . It is still early; there is no rush . ”

Everyone was tired as well . They immediately drank some water where they were and rested, replenishing their strength .

Since arriving here, the team had not stopped at all . It was either fighting or exploring the place . If one was not a physical body cultivator, it would be easy to tire out .

Xiao Chen appeared calm and carefree . He took a drink of water and casually looked around . He had not exhausted himself .

“Where did so many ants come from?”

The resting cultivators suddenly discovered many fiery-red ants climbing out of the cracks in the ground .

These were not ferocious beasts and were not very dangerous . However, they appeared in large numbers, scurrying frantically .

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Several people could no longer just watch . They made their move and killed off all of the red ants present .  

“Stop!”

Senior Ma shouted when he saw these red ants . His expression immediately changed drastically . “This is not good . These are underground Fire Ants . They are very good at enduring high temperatures . Under normal circumstances, they would not appear at all . They go aboveground only when they can’t endure the high temperatures preceding a dragon flame eruption . ”

“A dragon flame eruption?!”

Senior Ma’s words startled everyone . The underground dragon flame eruption was one of the scariest situations in the Dragon Flame Ancient Land .

Such a situation in this complicated and horrible environment was simply hell on earth .  

The strength of an individual was extremely insignificant against the spewing dragon flame .

“A dragon flame eruption! We need to find a place with water to shelter us . Otherwise, we will all die . Quickly, search the vicinity . ”

Senior Ma’s expression turned scarily sullen, affecting everyone else . Their hearts started pumping quickly for some reason as they searched the area .

A dragon flame eruption .

There were some records of this in the information that Xiao Chen obtained before coming here . That phenomenon was even scarier than a volcanic eruption . What erupted was the Dragon Flame Heart Fire that had accumulated for several tens of thousands of years .  

This was known as the demonic flames of the deep abyss . It was no exaggeration to say that the dragon flame destroyed whatever it passed in the world .  

Even a Cloud Sea Star Venerate would be burned to ashes on the spot if the underground dragon flame spewed out on him, not leaving anything behind .

No wonder Senior Ma was so anxious .

Fortunately, Senior Ma was here . Who else had such experience? Without noticing the strange movements of the Fire Ants, they would not even know how they died .

At the very least, they knew that they had to take shelter where there was water to overcome this calamity .

“Senior Ma, there is a rather large lake one hundred fifty kilometers to the north . ”

At this crucial moment, Xiao Chen could not continue hiding his skills . After dismissing the Heavenly Eye, he told Senior Ma about the lake that he saw .

“Are you sure?”

Xiao Chen replied indifferently, “This concerns our life and death . I will not mess around . ”

Not wanting to delay, Senior Ma shouted, “Gather up and follow me . ”

To these geniuses and outstanding talents, traveling one hundred fifty kilometers in the outside world would just take about fifteen minutes .

However, even walking was difficult in the depths of this Dragon Flame Ancient Land due to the ever-present ancient Dragon Might .

No one dared to fly casually . That would drain too much energy . They could only leap and run .

The air clearly turned even more arid . Sweat covered all their bodies . Their throats felt like they were spewing fire .

No one dared to doubt that a dragon flame eruption was imminent .

The signs were already very clear .

“Senior Ma, there is water in front . There really is water . ”

One hundred fifty kilometers later, the team did indeed see a rather vast lake .

Senior Ma smiled and said, “Xiao Chen, you saved all our lives . ”

Xiahou Feng and Leng Feng both glanced at Xiao Chen in surprise . There really was water . Even with their excellent eyesight, they could not see this far in this place .

Those two wondered how Xiao Chen had seen it .

Xiao Chen showed a calm expression, not revealing anything . He only responded politely to Senior Ma and stopped speaking after that .

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Everyone flew to the center of the lake . Senior Ma instructed calmly, “Water-attributed and ice-attributed cultivators, stand on my left . Wind-attributed cultivators, stand on my right . The rest, stand behind me .

“Is there anyone who has comprehended the Water Great Dao or has a water-attributed Dao Tool?”

The moment Senior Ma asked that, someone stepped forward and pointed at the sword in his hand, indicating that he had a water-attributed Dao Tool .

Senior Ma nodded and said, “Very good . Later, you will lead these water-attributed and ice-attributed cultivators . As for the wind-attributed cultivators, remember to create strong winds and do your best to scatter the dragon flame . The other cultivators will work together to form a final barrier . ”

“Rumble!”

Suddenly, the world shook . The people standing on the water could not control themselves, wobbling left and right .

A pillar of fiery light soared into the sky in the distance .

Closely following that, another pillar, two more, three more…countless pillars of dragon flame erupted from the ground, spewing out .  

It looked like the end of the world . Clouds for five thousand kilometers around roiled and burned as if the sky was burned through .

The surging heatwaves combined with the berserk Dragon Might, sweeping out in every direction . There was no place to hide .

Everyone could clearly see several frantic, strong ferocious beasts melting on the spot, leaving only their skeletons .

At the crucial moment, Senior Ma spread out his will of soul, enveloping everyone in it . He said seriously, “Act now! Quickly, act now! Follow my instructions and maintain this formation . ”
