Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

The next day, early in the morning.

The group set off again, finally entering the area where the Fire Essence Jade was located.

Sun Huo piloted the flying magical artifact, flying slowly at low altitude, with Chen Yi and the others following closely behind.

Although there are no large volcanic clusters in the surrounding area, there are many small volcanoes, craters, and lava rivers.

If the group did not use flying artifacts, they could only jump across the rocks to move forward, which would be even more time-consuming and laborious.

Even though everyone was protected by shields, they could still feel the heat waves around them.

Deng Liangyu piloted the flying magical artifact, while Chen Yi sat on it, circulating the Blazing Sun Furnace Technique and secretly absorbing the rich fire spiritual energy around him.

Sun Huo held the map in his hand and carefully surveyed the surrounding terrain.

Fortunately, this area was not affected by the evil cultivators; otherwise, even with a map, the Fire Essence Jade would not have been found.

After the group had traveled seven or eight kilometers, Chen Yi suddenly sensed a chilling demonic aura ahead.

Sun Huo, who was at the front, also sensed this and immediately ordered everyone to stop advancing.

Wu Yifeng, Deng Liangyu, and the others exchanged glances. This demonic aura was extremely powerful, and they all sensed it at the same time.

Sun Huo and the others had no choice but to jump off the flying artifact and leap forward on the boulder.

Before long, everyone finally figured out the source of the demonic energy.

Chen Yi stared in awe at the giant beast ahead; it was a giant toad over four meters tall.

Its entire body was crimson red, and its skin was covered with bumps of all sizes. The magma beneath it felt like lukewarm water to it.

Sun Huo's expression was rather unpleasant, for no other reason than that the fiery red crystals surrounding the giant toad were Fire Essence Jade.

These Fire Essence Jade contain extremely strong fire spiritual energy, making them the most attractive place for fire-attribute monsters to inhabit.

"Everyone, this is a second-tier demonic beast, the Fire Toad."

"Judging from his aura, he's probably close to the late Foundation Establishment stage," Sun Huo said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They were all early Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they still had a fighting chance against mid-Foundation Establishment demonic beasts.

However, if you fight the Fire Toad head-on, there may be casualties.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Huo decided to make a move.

They are all array masters, capable of setting up large arrays around them to lure the Fire Toad away and trap it within the array.

Then send someone to take the Fire Essence Jade away, and immediately flee.

After discussing the matter, Sun Huo, Wu Yifeng, and Mu Yuanrong set up and controlled the formation, while Lin Ling'er watched from the sidelines.

Chen Yi and Deng Liangyu were responsible for retrieving the Fire Essence Jade. After succeeding, they immediately flew away using a flying array.

At this moment, the Fire Toad is taking a bath in the lava.

Sun Huo and the others began to secretly set up an array, while Chen Yi secretly surveyed his surroundings.

He took out many porcelain bottles from his storage bag, all filled with the pale gold scales of the Golden Cloud Illusion Butterfly.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. If these scales can enter the Fire Toad's body, even though it is a second-tier demon beast, it will have a significant impact on it.

Chen Yi checked the insect breeding bag and found that there were only a few purple-winged centipedes left, making it unlikely that they would reproduce.

He planned to have the Purple Winged Centipede carry the porcelain bottle and launch a suicidal attack on the Fire-Burning Toad.

At this moment, Sun Huo and the others had finished setting up the formation.

After greeting everyone, Sun Huo rode his flying magical artifact toward the Fiery Toad.

He took out several talismans from his pocket and immediately threw them at the Fire Toad.

The next moment, the talisman transformed into several bolts of lightning and instantly attacked the Fire-Burning Toad.

The Fire Toad, which was soaking in the lava, was suddenly struck by lightning. It opened its blood-red eyes and immediately looked at the person who attacked it.

Sun Huo attacked again, using his giant sword technique to strike the Fire-Burning Toad.

A magic array appeared above Sun Huo's head, and a huge longsword shot out instantly, heading straight for the head of the Fire-Burning Toad.

The fiery toad roared, and its boundless demonic energy, carrying lava, instantly spread out.

It opened its massive maw, and a pillar of fire shot out instantly, heading straight for the attacking giant sword.

A loud "boom" was heard.

The giant sword and the pillar of fire collided peacefully, instantly causing a violent explosion.

The giant sword held on for a moment, then shattered into pieces and vanished without a trace. The pillar of fire slammed directly towards Sun Huo.

Sun Huo reacted quickly, immediately piloting his flying magical artifact to dodge backward.

The pillar of fire missed its target instantly, and the Fire-Burning Toad, enraged, leaped towards Sun Huo.

Although the Fire Toad is huge, it has an extremely strong jumping ability, and can leap more than several meters in a single bound.

Sun Huo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the Fire Toad had already fallen into their array trap.

"Charge!"

In an instant, two array barriers rose up, trapping the Fire-Burning Toad within them.

Wu Yifeng's sword formation and Mu Yuanrong's earth formation instantly launched an attack on the Fire Toad.

Golden sword energy continuously attacked the eyes and hind legs of the Fire-Burning Toad, while Mu Yuanrong manipulated the Earth Array to raise earth pillars to hinder the Fire-Burning Toad's progress.

Chen Yi and Deng Liangyu rushed out instantly, heading straight for the Fire Toad's lair.

Pieces of bright red, crystal-clear Fire Essence Jade were scattered on rocks or solidified magma.

Chen Yi piloted his flying magical artifact, using his spiritual energy to scoop up the Fire Essence Jade and place it into his storage bag.

At the same time, he was also controlling the swarm of iron fire ants, which continuously swept away the surrounding fire essence jade.

Deng Liangyu manipulated a magical artifact resembling a long whip to collect the surrounding fire essence jade into his storage bag.

At this moment, the Fire Toad was trapped within the formation.

Using its massive body, it rampaged through the formation, instantly causing cracks to appear in the Earth Element Formation.

In no time, the Earth Element Formation vanished into countless fragments.

Wu Yifeng pulled Mu Yuanrong back while simultaneously manipulating the formation to continue attacking the opponent.

The sword formation he used was quite special, unlike ordinary formations. He used specially made flying swords to create the sword formation, so it was not limited by the terrain.

As they retreated, Sun Huo immediately activated the formation.

"Mysterious Water Azure Edge Formation, activate!" Sun Huo roared, and a blue-green array barrier instantly rose around him.

This is a second-tier water-attribute formation, which has an attribute advantage against the Fire Toad.

In an instant, waves of dark blue water materialized within the formation, transforming into sharp water blades that attacked the Fire-Burning Toad directly.

The fire-breathing toad roared, and its bumpy skin glowed with a red light, forming a shield that protected it.

"Boom boom boom"

A series of explosions rang out as the water blades collided with the shield and exploded instantly.

Sun Huo's expression was solemn. He sensed that the Xuan Shui Qing Feng Formation could only hold off the Fire Toad for a short while.

While collecting Fire Essence Jade, Chen Yi also noticed the battle between Sun Huo and others. The Fire Toad's strength had just reached the late Foundation Establishment stage.

These formations can only temporarily stop it. If it breaks through the formations, it will be very difficult for them to escape.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi quickened his pace.

At the same time, he secretly released the Purple Winged Centipede and the Azure Spirit Devouring Insect.

The Fire Toad roared and instantly sprang up, crashing into the Xuan Shui Qing Feng Formation repeatedly. Even though it was attacked by water blades, it could only hold them off for a moment.

"Quickly, the formation is about to collapse!" Sun Huo roared.

At this moment, Wu Yifeng, Mu Yuanrong, and Lin Ling'er each used their own methods to block the Fire-Burning Toad.

Chen Yi and Deng Liangyu put all the surrounding Fire Essence Jade into their storage bags.

However, Sun Huo's Xuan Shui Qing Feng Formation was already in a precarious state.
