In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

Chapter 127 Crimson Essence Fruit, Giant Flame Serpent

"To measure the limits of my strength?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. If it wasn't the Chu family, could it be the Longevity Sect?

However, no matter who is behind him, that's no reason for this guy to directly attack him.

"I thought your strength was at most comparable to mine, but I never expected that you would not only have reached the fourth rank of cultivation, but also have mastered the essence of fire to perfection. It's simply unbelievable!"

The young man in gold stared at Lu Yuan and exclaimed in amazement.

With his fifth-grade cultivation and 70% of the Golden Intent, he is considered an outstanding figure even among the younger generation of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. He is not much different from the so-called Saint Body prodigies.

But compared to the person in front of him, he realized that he was still far inferior.

"You think this is my limit?"

Lu Yuan looked directly at the man in gold and said calmly.

"Isn't this it?"

The man in gold found this somewhat unbelievable.

He simply couldn't imagine what the other party's limit would be if this wasn't it.

"Watch closely, this sword strike of mine—will be the last sword strike you ever see in your life!"

Lu Yuan stopped wasting words and unleashed another sword strike.

Thunderclap Sword Technique, with the force of a thunderbolt!

In an instant, it seemed as if countless thunderbolts descended from the sky.

Streams of lightning-like sword energy, like bolts of silk, poured down, tearing through the void.

"Ten percent sword intent—no—this is the realm of罡雷 (Gāng Léi)—"

The young man in gold was horrified and, without the slightest hesitation, hurriedly turned to flee.

He was even more inwardly amazed, not only had he comprehended two realms of intent at the same time, but he had also reached the pinnacle of both. In fact, the Thunder realm had even reached the Gang realm.

You should know that the Gang Realm is a realm that only martial arts grandmasters can set foot in.

How did this guy, who is only at the fourth rank of cultivation, manage to do that?

Could it be that...

No—impossible!

At that moment, four words suddenly appeared in the mind of the golden-clad youth: unparalleled prodigy!

"Why are you running? — Weren't we supposed to test my limits? Come on!"

Seeing that the young man in gold was trying to run away, Lu Yuan sneered and then swung his sword again.

"Boom—Boom!"

Unsurprisingly, the golden-clad youth didn't even manage to take two steps before being completely engulfed by the endless, thunderous sword energy.

After everything dispersed, only a scorched ground remained.

"No matter who's targeting me, all I need to do is continue to grow stronger steadily!"

Lu Yuan's gaze sharpened slightly, then he continued walking forward.

In the center of a pool of water as red as lava, a small, fiery red tree stands proudly alone.

On the small tree, there were still a few bright red fruits, about the size of tomatoes.

"Our luck seems to be really good—we actually found the Red Essence Fruit!"

Several young men and women looked at the bright red fruits with excitement in their eyes.

The Red Essence Fruit is a sacred medicine of the fire element.

Although its effect on assisting cultivation is not as good as that of the Blood Bodhi, it can not only make martial artists who cultivate the corresponding techniques achieve twice the results with half the effort, but also increase the success rate to a certain extent when constructing a fire-attribute holy body and breaking through to the Martial Saint realm.

In short, no one would miss out on such a precious and incomparably valuable medicine.

Even if you don't need it now, you can save it for later, or at worst, exchange it for other holy medicines.

"Wait—don't rush!"

Just as a young man in white was about to step into the fire pool and pick the Crimson Essence Fruit, he was stopped by someone next to him.

"What do you mean by this?"

The young man in white glared at the other man, frowning as he said, "There are six Crimson Essence Fruits in total. We could each take one and there would still be some left over. Are you planning to keep them all for yourself?"

"Don't misunderstand!"

The man shook his head and explained, "Beneath this pool of fire, there must be a terrifying beast guarding these Crimson Essence Fruits."

Upon hearing this, the young man in white immediately looked enlightened.

Indeed, how could a sacred medicine like the Crimson Essence Fruit not have powerful mythical beasts guarding it?

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively!"

The young man in white said apologetically.

"It's alright. What we need to do now is deal with the strange beast under the fire pool."

The man smiled nonchalantly and continued, "However, if we don't lure it out first, we won't know where to begin."

"Isn't that simple? Just use one person as bait to draw out the strange beast beneath the fire pool."

"Who will be the bait? You, me, or him? We can't all be in it, can we?"

The others also spoke up one after another.

"No need for that, you're all bait!"

At that moment, a detached voice suddenly rang out.

The group hurriedly turned around and saw a large group of Ziyang Sect geniuses, led by Jin Sheng, walking towards them.

It was noticeable that many of them had some kind of injury, and their numbers seemed to have decreased since they entered.

Even with Jin Sheng, a prodigy with a sacred body, leading the team, they still suffered casualties along the way.

"We don't want these red-fruited fruits anymore."

The group exchanged glances, all seeing fear and dread in each other's eyes, before hurriedly turning away.

Unfortunately, it seems it's already too late.

Before they could take more than a few steps, they were blocked by the geniuses of the Ziyang Sect.

"Anyone who dares to flee will be killed without mercy!"

"Give us a way out, okay? We don't want these Red Essence Fruits anymore!"

The young man in white turned to Jin Sheng and pleaded.

"Your only chance is to act as bait and lure out the beasts from the fiery pool; otherwise, all of you will die!"

Jin Sheng looked at the white-robed youth expressionlessly and said calmly.

Upon hearing his words, the faces of the young man in white and the others turned deathly pale.

They knew very well that if they resisted, they would surely die, but if they went to the fire pool as bait, they might have a glimmer of hope.

After exchanging despairing glances, the group could only muster their courage and slowly walk towards the fire pit.

"Gulp—Gulp—Gulp—"

As the group approached, the magma-like liquid in the fire pool began to bubble continuously.

Even the temperature in the space seemed to have suddenly risen a lot.

"Bang—bang—"

In the end, the bubbles in the fire pit burst one after another.

Vast stretches of terrifying lava continuously spilled onto the ground, instantly creating numerous craters in the surrounding landscape.

One can only imagine what would happen if that lava fell on them.

Of course, what terrified them most was not the lava itself, but the strange beasts that could burst out of the fire pool at any moment; the unknown was the most frightening thing.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

The next moment, a huge figure suddenly rushed out of the fire pool.

Everyone stared intently, and it turned out to be an enormous fire serpent.

"It's a giant serpent of lava!"

Jin Sheng and the others narrowed their eyes, their gazes filled with astonishment.

The Flame Serpent is a strange beast that has almost transformed into a true demon, possessing terrifying strength.
