Chapter 514 Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame

Nodding with a wry smile, Jing Chen glanced again at the bluish-green lava around him and couldn't help but shout ahead, "Hey, how much further is it?"

Jing Chen knew that this kind of beast at the Douling level already possessed a considerable level of intelligence, so he wasn't worried that it wouldn't understand him.

Upon hearing Jing Chen's voice, the battle qi carried by him pierced through the magma and reached the ears of the Fire Spirit Serpent ahead. The serpent turned its enormous head, let out a few casual hissses, and then its descent speed suddenly increased dramatically.

"Damn it!" Jing Chen couldn't help but curse as he watched the Fire Spirit Serpent's actions. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and kicked backward with his foot. His body was enveloped in a pale white flame, turning into a white shadow as he shot down.

As his body traversed through the magma that had almost completely transformed into azure, sweat streamed down Jing Chen's face and into his eyes. Although his eyes were a little sore, Jing Chen didn't dare to blink, for fear of being left behind by the fire spirit snake that had suddenly accelerated ahead.

"Damn it, how much longer are you going to dive?" As he continued to descend, even with the protection of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Jing Chen could still clearly feel the temperature penetrating his body gradually rising.

"Ten minutes, damn it, if I don't see the strange fire within ten minutes, I'm not looking anymore!" His body trembled uncontrollably, Jing Chen clenched his trembling fists, and his voice even became a little shaky at this moment.

A moment later.

"Eight minutes!" Jing Chen roared in a low voice, his lips twitching slightly.

The fire serpent in front continued to dive desperately, ignoring everything else.

"Four minutes!" Jing Chen said hoarsely, his mouth dry.

"Two minutes!" Jing Chen realized that his heart had never been pounding so hard.

"Damn it, I'm going back, I'm not looking anymore!" With bloodshot eyes, Jing Chen suddenly stopped diving. Without saying a word, he turned around decisively and swam upwards with a livid face.

However, just as Jing Chen turned around, the Fire Spirit Serpent's massive tail lashed out, wrapping around his waist. The dense, deep red flames on its tail, though constantly dissipating upon contact with the pale white flames, still contained immense power that forcefully pulled Jing Chen back.

"What the hell? I was tricked by this beast?" The moment Jing Chen was flung back by the Fire Spirit Serpent, a horrified thought flashed through his mind.

The thought had barely crossed Jing Chen's mind when he was thrown in front of the Fire Spirit Serpent. As he frantically swung his arms, his eyes suddenly fixed on something radiating a bright blue light not far away.

A blue light enveloped the magma. Looking up, Jing Chen could faintly see a blue flower standing gracefully within that blue light.

"Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?" As Jing Chen glanced at the azure flame he was refining, Yao Lao's surprised yet dramatic voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?" Upon hearing Yao Lao's voice, Jing Chen immediately recalled the information about the strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking that Yao Lao had previously told him in detail.

The Azure Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the list of extraordinary flames, originates deep within the earth. It undergoes countless tempering, fusion, compression, and sculpting processes by the earth's fire. It takes ten years to form a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus. At its peak, its color is bluish, with a cluster of blue flames rising from its heart. This flame is called the Azure Lotus Flame, also known as the Azure Lotus Core Flame. Its power is unpredictable; in areas near volcanoes, it can even trigger volcanic eruptions, unleashing a destructive force from nature.

As this information flashed through his mind, Jing Chen's face was instantly filled with ecstasy. His body trembled slightly as he broke free from the Fire Spirit Serpent's tail, his eyes fixed on the large patch of dense blue light not far away.

"Hiss!" A sharp sound came from the giant mouth of the Fire Spirit Serpent beside him. Jing Chen turned around and saw that the Fire Spirit Serpent's huge eyes were filled with fear as it stared at the ball of blue light. Its huge body was also trembling slightly.

Ignoring the Fire Spirit Serpent's actions, Jing Chen licked his lips, his heart pounding with excitement. "Elder Yao, have we found it?"

"Hehe, it seems so. I didn't expect to actually find a different kind of fire. Although the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is only ranked nineteenth on the Different Kinds of Fire Ranking, it is the best level for you right now. After all, the things I prepared for you can only increase your success rate in absorbing different kinds of fire ranked sixteenth or lower on the Different Kinds of Fire Ranking. So this Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is just right." Yao Lao's laughter was also slightly gratified. His efforts over the years had finally yielded their first reward.

Taking a few deep breaths, Jing Chen asked impatiently, "Shall we go take a look?"

"Okay, let's go take a look. I'll increase the level of protection."

Jing Chen nodded, glanced at the Fire Spirit Serpent that was too afraid to take another step forward, pursed his lips, pushed off the lava with his feet, and swam rapidly towards the area covered by the blue light, like a small fish in a lake.

As his body drew closer to the cyan light, Jing Chen could clearly feel the temperature around him rising exponentially.

Jing Chen pursed his dry lips, gritted his teeth, and stomped his foot again, finally plunging into the azure light.

As the body entered the cyan light, the expected intense heat did not arrive as anticipated. Instead, the temperature around the body strangely decreased significantly.

Jing Chen was also stunned by this somewhat eerie scene. After a moment, he came to his senses and quickly scanned his surroundings before finally fixing his gaze on the blue lotus flower in the center.

The blue lotus flower has eight leaves, each leaf as perfect as the finest jade, crystal clear and irresistible.

After refining, there seemed to be a small lotus platform about two or three feet in size. Some holes on the lotus platform emitted specks of light, which should be lotus seeds formed from the purest fire attribute energy.

Beneath the cyan refining, there were extremely slender roots, more than ten meters long. The roots were covered with countless tiny tentacles. As these tentacles swayed, Jing Chun could clearly feel that they were frantically absorbing the violent fire attribute energy from the surrounding magma with an almost greedy attitude.

This blue lotus flower floated in the endless lava, drifting like duckweed on the sea. If it weren't for the Fire Spirit Serpent leading the way, with Jing Chen's current strength, even if he were to court death and be burned to death by the lava, he would never have been able to find such a relatively tiny blue lotus flower in such a vast area.
