Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 2011 Acquiring the Ore Vein

Liu Qinghuan played with the fire crystal that burned like a ruby, a satisfied glint in her eyes.

The Heavenly Treasure Mirror has not deceived me. The purple-patterned fire crystal vein that runs across the entire Fire Rong Island not only has a much larger quantity than expected, but its quality is also extremely outstanding.

It was worth the more than twenty years they spent traversing the perilous and endless void to reach this place.

After putting away the top-grade fire crystal, Liu Qinghuan's figure flickered and he returned to the ground. He looked up and saw You Yi and the others still fighting the Yi beast with earth-shattering force.

However, the Yi Beast was too tough and thick-skinned, and the environment here was extremely favorable to it, with the lava everywhere serving as its healing medicine.

Even if its rock armor is shattered, it only needs to roll on the spot, and lava will rush to its wounds like blood. In the blink of an eye, the shattered rock armor will be restored to its original state, without leaving even a crack.

Its crystal core is hidden very deep, encased in layers of thick rock. As long as it doesn't break, it seems to have an infinite possibility of rebirth.

Liu Qinghuan understood that to completely extinguish the life force of this Yi Beast, it was necessary to first prevent it from drawing power from the fire crystal vein.

With a light tap of his toes, he shot into the sky like an arrow, until the dark void surged forth, and the icy winds of the void dispersed the intense heat.

Below, the entire Fire Rong Island lay before her. Liu Qinghuan stretched out her hand—

As he slowly moved his fingers, the invisible laws of space spread out, revealing rolling rocks, flowing lava, vegetation swaying in the flames, and small beasts hiding...

Gradually, a phantom image that almost spanned the entire length of Fire Rong Island emerged from the ground.

Its head and horns are as thick as a dragon's head, and countless fine veins extend from its body, like the claws and bones of a dragon. Crimson flames flow around its entire body, radiating a powerful and scorching aura.

"rise!"

Liu Qinghuan gave a soft shout, his voice not loud, but it resounded throughout the entire island.

The next moment, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

A violent earthquake started in the center of the island and spread to every corner in an instant.

The earth groaned, and jagged cracks spread across the ground like a spider web, from which scalding magma gushed forth, shooting dozens of feet into the air.

In the distance, a volcano collapsed with a deafening roar, sending debris and volcanic ash obscuring the sky.

The Yi beast, which had finally managed to get up, lost its footing in the violent jolting and fell heavily to the ground again, its massive body creating a huge crater.

Yueyan and Fubao's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly leaped into the air to avoid the collapsing mountain peaks.

In the midst of the chaos, the group turned to look at the scene before them, and were immediately stunned into holding their breath at what they saw.

The fiery crystal vein, entirely crimson and entwined with smoky purple patterns, was breaking free from the earth's constraints and slowly rising from the ground.

An extremely terrifying heat swept out like a tsunami, distorting and deforming the air. Flames with a purple hue surged in all directions like a tide, covering most of Fire Rong Island in the blink of an eye.

Yueyan felt as if her whole body was on fire, and she regretted that her hair was too thick. She quickly transformed back into human form and flew upwards while shouting to Fubao, "Run!"

But to everyone's surprise, the gray donkey turned around and its eyes gleamed.

"My goodness, it's so long! How many fire crystals must that be? If we sold it, how many spirit stones would we get in return!"

"Watch out!" Youyan swatted him away with her wing, saving him from being crushed by the flying boulder. "If you don't want to be turned into donkey meat sandwiches, get back to your master!"

Fu Bao tumbled several times in the air before stopping. He looked at the enormous Netherworld Phoenix but dared not speak out. He could only wave his hands and strike the beast below with his hammers, unleashing a thick bolt of lightning.

"Pah! Serves you right for ambushing me!" *Boom!*

Thunder exploded, instantly shattering the Yi Beast's entire right arm, sending crimson lava mixed with black rock fragments flying everywhere.

Enraged, it suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening roar, spewing out a pillar of fire several meters thick.

Wherever the pillar of fire passed, even the space itself was slightly distorted by the heat, carrying a terrifying power that could incinerate everything, and it rushed straight towards Fu Bao.

Fu Bao was so frightened that he ran away without daring to provoke her anymore. His figure transformed into a gray light, instantly surpassing Yue Yan and flying into the sky.

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Yi Beast. It suddenly flipped over, its thick hind legs slamming into the ground, and its massive body shot up, lunging towards the fire crystal vein that had completely detached from the ground and was slowly rising.

It knew that the mine was the source of its power, and once the mine was taken away, it would face certain death.

Unexpectedly, a black afterimage suddenly flashed past and blocked its path.

The phoenix spread its wings, blotting out the sky, with pure black phoenix fire burning fiercely on its feathers, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding crimson flames.

With a sudden flap of her broad wings, she stirred up a whirlwind carrying raging fire, which coalesced into a black wall of fire tens of feet high, stretching across the space between the Yi beast and the mine like an impregnable fortress.

The Yi Beast couldn't stop in time and crashed headfirst into the wall of fire. Black phoenix fire instantly wrapped around its body, making a sizzling sound.

Unlike the flames of the Yi Beast itself, the Hellfire was far more powerful, branding black fire patterns onto its rocky armor and radiating a chilling aura.

Once the fire patterns merged into a continuous area, the temperature of the rock armor plummeted as if it had been sealed, and it could no longer ignite.

"Squeak!"

The stone monkey Huitian suddenly appeared from behind some flying rock. It was small in size but moved as fast as lightning. In a few leaps, it jumped onto the back of the Yi beast.

Hui Tian clenched his fist, which shimmered with a faint golden light, and threw a punch at a rock armor covered with black fire patterns.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the rock shattered, revealing the pulsating red veins beneath.

Hui Tian pressed his advantage relentlessly, unleashing a barrage of punches that rained down with immense force, sending rock fragments flying and shattering the rock armor on the Yi Beast's back.

The Yi beast twisted its body frantically, trying to shake the stone monkey off its back, but Hui Tian seemed glued to it. No matter how it rolled and jumped, it remained firmly on its back, and would occasionally punch its wounds, greatly slowing down its healing speed.

Tied up by Youyan and Huitian, Yishou had no time to seize the mine. He could only watch helplessly as the mine rose higher and higher, his eyes filled with despair and resentment, letting out weak roars.

At this moment, the sky presents a breathtaking and magnificent spectacle.

The crimson and purple flames surged across the sky like a sea of ​​clouds, while the fire crystal veins rose and fell amidst the rolling heat waves. The light refracted by the crystals was dazzling, like a real dragon soaring between heaven and earth.

"receive."

A voice came from higher up, and the speed at which the mineral vein rose suddenly increased. At the same time, it began to shrink visibly, and finally turned into a stream of light, landing precisely in Liu Qinghuan's outstretched hand.

He looked down and saw a palm-sized amethyst lying in his palm. The crystal was clear, reflecting the patterns of the entire vein. Purple flames flowed slowly within it, radiating immense heat.

He took out a basalt box, carefully placed the mineral vein inside, and then affixed several sealing talismans before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

On Fire Island, as the mineral veins were taken away, the surging lava gradually subsided, the towering flames slowly died down, and even the air became less scorching.

The beast, having lost its source of power, held on for several hours before Youyan and Huitian forcibly stripped away layer after layer of its rock armor. Its massive body grew smaller and smaller until it finally collapsed with a crash.
