Chapter 82 The Pagoda Emerges, the Pagoda Ablaze!

"Finally recovered..."

A faint smile appeared on Lu Yu's face. With a wave of his hand, the Earth Core Flame returned as summoned, flying into his body and swaying merrily above the Floating Pagoda.

With a slight thought, he instantly absorbed the Earth Core Flame into the Floating Pagoda. Then, he looked around, his gaze finally settling on the Crimson Jade Lotus Platform beside him. With a gentle pinch between two fingers, a Crimson Fire Crystal Card appeared in his hand.

"Next, it's time to condense the Pagoda."

Then, after he inserted the Fire Crystal Card into the groove on the lotus platform, countless invisible flames, as if they were real, surged out from all around.

Lu Yu's expression changed, and he quickly sat cross-legged. At this moment, he felt countless invisible flames surging into his body, as if he had been thrown into a raging furnace.

He had never felt this way since he was promoted to Dou Wang.

With the influx of a large amount of cardiomyopathy, the meridians, bones, and even the blood in the body seemed to turn transparent at this moment.

Invisible flames seeped into the body from all parts, like maggots clinging to the bone, relentlessly burning everything combustible within.

At the same time, the Floating Pagoda seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, spontaneously spinning violently and greedily devouring the endless heart flames surging into its body.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain of being burned by invisible flames within his body, large beads of sweat constantly rolling down his forehead.

However, amidst this endless pain, he could clearly feel that his bones, meridians, and even muscles, like tempered steel, were becoming increasingly resilient at a slow but steady pace...

Time slipped away quietly during the cultivation...

Two months later,

On the seventh floor of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, in a secluded cultivation room.

Lu Yu remained seated cross-legged, emanating an inexplicable aura. His hands subtly formed an extremely obscure and ancient hand seal, from which a strange fluctuation rippled outwards.

Upon internal observation, the black light tower in his dantian became increasingly clear and bright, and upon closer inspection, it had already been tempered to 99%.

In an instant, Lu Yu completed the hand seals, and a mysterious dark light appeared on his body, which quickly enveloped his body and began to writhe.

In just a dozen breaths, a black light tower about several tens of feet tall appeared, and Lu Yu's body seemed to be enveloped in it before disappearing from the spot.

The black light tower, overflowing with deep black light, has nine layers and is covered with mysterious patterns, exuding an ancient aura.

"Boom!"

The invisible flames surged forth, bombarding the black nine-story pagoda, but the latter remained unmoved. Instead, amidst the flowing black light, it directly absorbed all the flames.

"Shhhhhh!"

The black pagoda trembled violently, its body radiating a captivating mystical light. The ancient runes engraved on its surface seemed to come alive, beginning to flow and flicker.

At this moment, a deep vortex appeared out of nowhere above the Pagoda, frantically devouring the surrounding energy of heaven and earth.

As energy continued to flow in, the pagoda's form became increasingly solid. The mysterious patterns at its base gradually materialized, and each level of the pagoda slowly illuminated with its own mysterious patterns. When the final pattern of the ninth level lit up—

"Buzz!"

The entire pagoda suddenly burst forth with a dazzling black light, finally taking complete shape! The pagoda's body was as clear as black jade, radiating a terrifying pressure that suppressed heaven and earth.

Inside the tower, Lu Yu felt his fighting spirit surging through his meridians like a burst dam. He quickly formed hand seals, his aura resonating with the pagoda.

In an instant, the energy in the entire training room was drawn in, transforming into countless streams of light that flowed into his body. "Boom!"

A muffled thunderous roar erupted from his dantian, and Lu Yu clearly felt an invisible barrier within his body shatter. A surging torrent of battle qi surged forth with unstoppable force, breaking through the shackles in one fell swoop!
Six-Star Battle King!

Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and he uttered a low shout: "Withdraw!"

"call out!"

The floating pagoda shrank instantly, transforming into a beam of dark light that entered the dantian. Upon internal observation, the crystal-clear, jade-like black pagoda floated silently, its ancient runes flowing ceaselessly.

"call……"

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile of satisfaction finally appeared on his face. He said happily, "After a whole year, the Floating Pagoda has finally taken shape."

He gently stroked his dantian, feeling the powerful aura emanating from the Floating Pagoda, and said, "Only now can my Great Floating Pagoda Technique truly be considered mastered..."

It should be understood that in the Ancient Floating Clan, only by successfully condensing the Floating Pagoda can one be considered to have truly embarked on the correct path of cultivating the Great Floating Pagoda Technique.

From this point on, the Floating Pagoda will grow alongside its master on the path of cultivation. The higher the rank of the pagoda, the faster the master's cultivation will increase, with the two complementing each other...

"Of course, that's not all..."

A glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and with a slight thought, the pitch-black pagoda within his dantian suddenly trembled violently.

As if awakened, the ancient runes on the tower lit up one after another with dazzling light, and the entire tower began to emit a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

In an instant, countless dazzling, gilded flames erupted from the tower!

These flames solidified into a tangible form, instantly transforming into a majestic golden dragon. The dragon's body coiled around the tower, and every scale was covered with ancient runes that sent shivers down one's spine.

Floating Pagoda Fire!
"hiss……"

The moment the golden dragon appeared, the Inner Flame and the Netherworld Demon Flame within the tower trembled violently as if they had encountered their natural enemy, instantly shrinking to the lowest level of the tower, shivering uncontrollably.

Lu Yu focused his mind on his dantian, staring in awe at the scene before him.

Every scale of the golden fire dragon was clearly visible, and its eyes flickered with a heart-stopping flame. Just by coiling there, it caused the entire dantian space to tremble slightly.

"Is this the Floating Pagoda Fire?"

He tried to activate a wisp of golden flame and immediately felt an unprecedented power surging through his meridians.

The temperature of this flame may seem mild, but it actually contains terrifying power that can scorch the heavens and boil the seas, far surpassing the Earth Core Flame and the Netherworld Demon Flame!
What's even more remarkable is that the fire of the pagoda and the pagoda complement each other. Every time the golden flames flow across the pagoda, the ancient runes light up a little more, and the pagoda's feedback makes the flames even more solid.

"This power is clearly superior to the Earth Core Flame and the Netherworld Demon Flame..."

"I wonder where I'll rank on that list of strange flames..."

Lu Yu muttered to himself. Suddenly, he thought of something and, with a thought, tried to draw a wisp of the Floating Pagoda Flame out of his body.

"boom!"

The moment the golden flame appeared in his palm, the temperature in the entire training room soared. Even more astonishingly, the invisible heart flames that had been roaming within the tower began to retreat as if they were subjects meeting their lord.

Indeed, once a fire is unleashed, all other flames bow their heads in embarrassment!
