A petite black figure materialized from Xiao Xuanyuan's body, swirling around the cave. A strange, pure black flame surged forth, covering Xiao Xuanyuan's entire body and blocking the approach and pressure of the surrounding magma and seawater.

Xiao Xuanyuan no longer had any reservations. He made hand seals, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate diligently. It wasn't that Xiao Xuanyuan was too timid to dare to cultivate and recover from his injuries by diving alone into such deep lava seawater; rather, that woman was too terrifying and had put considerable pressure on him. In the current situation, Xiao Xuanyuan dared not be careless. If she changed her mind and secretly attacked him while he was cultivating, he would die an extremely unjust death.

That's why this happened.

Compared to the sky above the magma ocean, the fire elemental energy beneath the magma ocean is several times more concentrated. The fire elemental energy swimming in the magma seawater can be drawn in with just a little bit of absorption. Even without the release of fire sources such as volcanic rock flames and wind-fury dragon flames, this level of concentration is comparable to that above the magma ocean.

Without a word of cultivation, countless streams of fire spiritual energy swam in like fish. After being continuously compressed and refined by the Burning Technique, they transformed into streams of clear spring water, constantly nourishing Xiao Xuanyuan's injured meridians and internal organs. Just as parched earth received sweet rain and regained its vitality.

One hour Two hours

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Xiao Xuanyuan opened his eyes, his injuries had almost completely healed. After swallowing another healing pill, Xiao Xuanyuan's condition, energy, and spirit had all returned to their peak.

“We should be able to go up now,” Xiao Xuanyuan looked up thoughtfully. He had been cultivating in this underground magma ocean for who knows how long, and that crazy woman up there must be getting impatient. He had reached an agreement with her, so she shouldn’t touch him for the time being.

Now that he has been in this Divine Medicine Pavilion for several years, he needs to hurry up and pass the trials to reach the next level.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Xuanyuan no longer hesitated. He called Hei Sha back, and his entire body transformed into a streak of light, like a fish swimming swiftly in water, heading towards the lava ocean above, piercing through like an arrow.

While descending, Xiao Xuanyuan's speed was slowed down due to his injuries and the need to explore the way. However, when he surfaced, his injuries had almost healed, and his speed was incredibly fast. In no time, he had ascended more than two thousand feet.

Just then, a black shadow, moving with lightning speed, struck him hard on the back, sending Xiao Xuanyuan flying and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Chapter 135 Fifth-Order Giant Beast

"Who goes there?!"

Kacha!

With a crisp cracking sound like glass, the protective light shield around Xiao Xuanyuan shattered. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying dozens of feet away. Behind him, a dozen huge floating seabed rocks were smashed to pieces with a series of bangs.

His soul perception automatically spread out to capture the origin of the mysterious creature, but before Xiao Xuanyuan could react, another huge black shadow, as thick as a bowl, attacked from behind, heading straight for his face.

"Damn it, is this never going to end?"

Enraged, Xiao Xuanyuan roared and unleashed a punch enveloped in flames.

boom!

The powerful force rebounded from the top of his fist. Before Xiao Xuanyuan could even regain his footing, he was blasted away by the recoil. The mysterious black figure was also knocked back by Xiao Xuanyuan's punch and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Having just stabilized the surging blood and qi within his body, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately became fully vigilant about his surroundings. A pale yellow flame, refined from five or six different kinds of strange fire, covered his entire body, ready to defend against the terrifying being lurking in the depths of darkness at any moment.

Glug!

A soft sound of water breaking came from the back of his head. Xiao Xuanyuan's ears twitched slightly, and he caught it. After refining the volcanic stone flame and the wind rage dragon flame in one fell swoop, he had already advanced from the peak level of the nine-star Dou Ling to the peak level of the nine-star Dou Wang. His senses, such as hearing and vision, had been improved several times. Even the buzzing of a tiny fly flapping its wings two thousand meters away could not escape his ears.

"Mighty Sky-Piercing Fist, Raging Bull Strikes Mountain!"

Xiao Xuanyuan turned and threw a punch. A magnificent bull, its body fiery red and engulfed in blazing flames, carrying an indomitable bullish spirit, slammed into the black shadow charging towards its head with the force of the punch.

Boom!

The fist flashed with light, and the powerful explosive force swept around, forcing the surrounding lava and seawater apart. However, the power of this black shadow was extraordinary. The fist light, which was as fierce as a wild bull, was directly pierced through by the opponent and continued to advance unstoppably towards Xiao Xuanyuan.

"So strong!"

Without a second thought, Xiao Xuanyuan summoned the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, and countless star runes and shadows densely covered Xiao Xuanyuan's tall figure.

Boom!

This time, the mysterious black shadow finally pierced through again, its powerful force pouring onto the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, shattering countless star rune lights and shadows, causing the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield to shake constantly, seemingly on the verge of breaking at any moment. This force was eventually transmitted to Xiao Xuanyuan, causing his face to turn pale instantly and his body to sway, but he managed to withstand it.

Only then did Xiao Xuanyuan get a clear look at the other party's appearance. It was a tentacle as thick as a large bowl, not only extremely thick but also extending for twenty or thirty meters. Even though his soul perception was greatly hindered under the viscous magma sea, he was still able to see it clearly.

This is a gigantic octopus that is twenty or thirty meters tall, with eight thick and elongated tentacles extending around it. Its outer skin is entirely fiery red, just like the color of the surrounding lava seawater. If you don't look closely, you can hardly see it at first glance.

It has only one giant eye, the size of an adult's head, that emits a fiery red color. Just now, only two of its tentacles launched the attack. Now that it has realized that it has failed, its massive body has already rolled over from a distance.

quack!

This enormous octopus-like beast appeared massive, but its movement speed was surprisingly fast. In almost an instant, it traversed a distance of seven or eight zhang (approximately 33-40 meters) and pounced forward.

"Damn, it's actually a fifth-tier magical beast!"

Sensing the extremely terrifying aura emanating from the octopus, Xiao Xuanyuan was greatly alarmed. A fifth-tier magical beast was equivalent to a human powerhouse at the Douhuang level, and he did not know whether he could defeat it. Moreover, being in the magma seabed greatly affected his ability to exert his strength.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately turned around, not wanting to linger in the fight, and floated away in the opposite direction.

Awooooo!

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan escape, the octopus beast roared and howled, its eight long, clawing legs slapping wildly against the surrounding lava and seawater. It suddenly increased its speed considerably and chased after the fleeing Xiao Xuanyuan with great momentum.

The long legs of this fifth-order behemoth were like soft, bouncy rubber tubes, with the two at the very front extending infinitely. They gurgled and quickly broke through the water, catching up almost in the blink of an eye and wrapping around Xiao Xuanyuan's back.

Caught off guard, Xiao Xuanyuan could only turn around and punch away one of the long legs, but the other one wrapped around his waist in the blink of an eye and began to contract forcefully, squeezing the air out of his chest and abdomen in half a breath, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Goooo!

The powerful compression between his chest and abdomen caused Xiao Xuanyuan to feel dizzy, as if the world was spinning and he was in a daze. Moreover, the thick, long tentacle was already being retracted by the octopus-like behemoth. If it grabbed him and got close, he would probably lose his life.

Enraged and frightened, Xiao Xuanyuan bit his tongue, the intense pain instantly bringing him back to his senses. He formed a hand seal, cast a spell, and forcefully drew out all the flames from the Na Stone, sending them to his entire body, covering every inch of his skin, especially his waist and abdomen.

Sizzle sizzle!

The pale yellow flames, a fusion of five different flames and one purple flame, were extremely powerful. In an instant, they met the thick tentacle and erupted with intense, blazing flames, instantly burning it until it crackled and emitted a strong smell of burnt meat.

hoohoo!

Burned by the extreme flames, the octopus behemoth that was about to catch up in the distance let out a miserable roar. The deafening roar shook and forced back the surrounding lava and seawater, making a rolling sound like boiling water. In pain, the octopus behemoth reacted as if by conditioned reflex, and quickly released the tentacles that were binding Xiao Xuanyuan and pulled back.

Having temporarily escaped the entanglement of one tentacle, Xiao Xuanyuan gasped for breath, then immediately changed direction, controlling the pale yellow flames, and charged towards the other tentacle.

Just moments before, as he was entangled by the tentacles, Xiao Xuanyuan's fiery battle qi surged forth like a flood, rapidly devouring his power through the black hole-like suction ports attached to the tentacles. In just a few breaths, more than 20% of his fiery battle qi had been consumed. Had Xiao Xuanyuan not broken free quickly, he would likely have been drained of all his strength and left with no chance to fight back.

Glug glug! Xiao Xuanyuan followed the same method, controlling the pale yellow flames to burn the tentacle, which dodged left and right, dancing wildly and stirring up the surrounding lava and seawater, forming a huge swirling vortex.

The whirlpool had immense suction power, and Xiao Xuanyuan struggled to break free. Seeing that the giant octopus was almost upon him, he dared not delay any longer. Abandoning the idea of ​​roasting the tentacle, he turned and quickly surfaced to escape.

Chapter 136 Escape from Death

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan turned to flee, the tentacle stirred the rapidly spinning vortex of seawater, controlling its direction, and pounced on him from behind.

This place is at least six or seven thousand feet deep in a magma ocean, surrounded by magma and seawater. The temperature is scorching hot. Ordinary Dou Wang level experts, let alone fighting, would die from exhausting their Dou Qi just by resisting the extremely high temperature and water pressure.

Xiao Xuanyuan possessed the Burning Technique and had refined several different kinds of strange fire within him. The intense heat around him was like a tickle during outdoor exercise in the sweltering summer; he could withstand it. However, the powerful water pressure around him was a kind of pressure, constantly consuming his strength. But because the surrounding magma and seawater contained abundant fire spiritual energy, this consumption was negligible.

Damn it!

Normally there wouldn't be any problems, but now that he's underwater, Xiao Xuanyuan's body has been pulled by the huge whirlpool behind him. The fire energy he's expending to surface and escape, as well as to fight against the water pressure, is enormous. Even though the Burning Technique has now advanced from the high-level Xuan rank to the mid-level Di rank, for a time, the recovery rate can't keep up with the consumption.

Having been injured by the ambush of the fifth-tier octopus behemoth and had more than 20% of his power drained, and having just been entangled by it, which had consumed a lot of his power, Xiao Xuanyuan was now going all out to escape this vortex. He used his fire battle qi without restraint and finally broke free from the vortex's power. Like a swift swordfish, he slicing through the seawater and rising upwards.

However, the giant octopus beast relentlessly pursued him, following closely behind like a persistent leech. Moreover, seemingly due to its ability to swim, the octopus beast, despite its enormous size, grew faster and faster, gradually closing the distance between itself and Xiao Xuanyuan in the chase.

"Go to hell, you're such a tagalong. If you've got the guts, come with me to the surface of the sea, and I'll kill you then."

As the three or four long tentacles drew ever closer, Xiao Xuanyuan gritted his teeth in resentment, cursing inwardly. However, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and try his best to increase his speed, hoping to widen the distance between them.

Glug glug!

"The Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram!"

A loud splashing sound came, and Xiao Xuanyuan shouted and turned around. He then swung out the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, which he had already gathered seven or eight tenths of his strength in his hands.

It was only the size of a palm in Xiao Xuanyuan's hand, but after he threw it out, it swelled with the water and transformed into a huge Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram in a moment, nearly half the size of a basketball court, which crushed the several thick tentacles that were rapidly extending and grabbing.

Thump thump thump!

Although the octopus behemoth was powerful, Xiao Xuanyuan cultivated the Burning Technique and the Strange Fire, so he was naturally not weak either. If he hadn't been constrained by the surrounding lava and seawater environment, he would have dared to face the behemoth's attack head-on.

The Yin-Yang symbol temporarily halted the octopus behemoth's attack, and its three or four long, thick tentacles were crushed and forced back.

Roar!

As a fifth-tier magical beast, the octopus behemoth's strength was not to be underestimated. With a roar, its thick tentacles transformed into a blazing red, with the tips instantly turning golden. It pierced through the massive Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, tearing it apart with a deafening boom. The diagram instantly shattered into dust, and the octopus continued its pursuit, its speed increasing rapidly.

Xiao Xuanyuan exerted all his strength, transforming his body into a flowing fish. Before the sound of hissing could be heard, he had already pierced through the lava and seawater, leaving behind a distant silhouette, demonstrating his incredible speed. Only then did the sound of him breaking through the water arrive.

hoohoo!

Rumble!

In a short while, the enormous octopus followed closely behind, creating towering waves, and followed in Xiao Xuanyuan's footsteps.

In the chase, they finally approached the surface of the lava sea.

Whew! As he tilted his head back, he saw the intense light reflecting off the sea surface. Xiao Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost at the surface. Soon he would be able to escape the magma sea and fly into the sky. Fighting under this magma ocean was really suppressing his strength.

Roar!

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was about to break through the magma sea, the octopus beast roared fiercely, shaking the surrounding magma sea. Its eight thick tentacles extended more than ten times in an instant, suddenly reaching the sea surface and stretching in front of Xiao Xuanyuan. Then they arched around each other before retracting back!

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan Tong Kong suddenly shrank back. If he were pulled back to the seabed of lava again, he would have no chance of survival. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he decided to go all out.

"Greatsword of Battle Spirit, Annihilate!"

In an instant, Xiao Xuanyuan's figure disappeared from the spot, and a giant sword with surging battle intent and incomparably sharpness appeared in this lava sea. The murderous battle intent evaporated all the surrounding lava sea.

I will stain the blue sky with my blood!

As if an ancient bell had rung, countless shouts of battle shook the heavens and the earth, and in an instant, the murderous aura of this colossal sword reached its peak!

Clang! Boom!

The Greatsword of Battle Spirit slashed fiercely at the ring-shaped cage of tentacles that had surrounded and bound it, unleashing an ear-piercing metallic scraping sound that made one's teeth ache, and releasing a terrifying power that shook the heavens and the earth. In an instant, all the lava and seawater within a radius of several dozen feet were evaporated, revealing an empty pit in the sea surface.

The Greatsword of Battle Spirit was powerful and unstoppable, carrying a force capable of destroying heaven and earth. It severed three thick tentacles in one swift motion, and the ring-shaped tentacle cage was now hollowed out. The octopus behemoth let out a mournful roar, seemingly enduring immense and indelible pain, yet it still pulled back the ring-shaped tentacle cage.

At the same time, the power of the Battle Spirit Greatsword was exhausted, and it instantly shattered into pieces, collapsing in all directions. Xiao Xuanyuan's figure fell from it. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, mustered his strength, and in an instant, he leaped out of the hole in the ring-shaped tentacle cage. His purple cloud wings spread out on his back, and he soared into the sky, breaking free of the cage.

Unable to capture Xiao Xuanyuan, the octopus-like behemoth roared from beneath the magma ocean, causing the waters to churn violently as its eight tentacles thrashed and thrashed, creating a massive whirlpool.

Looking back, Xiao Xuanyuan's expression changed several times. After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and immediately changed direction, flying towards the whirlpool on the surface of the lava ocean. This fifth-tier magical beast had caused him a lot of trouble at the bottom of the lava ocean, and he had to get revenge now. He had to kill it.

The commotion below also startled Chen Ya, who was sitting cross-legged on the fiery cloud, cultivating with her eyes closed. She frowned slightly and muttered to herself in confusion, "Why did Xiao Ba come out?"
