A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

"Thank you all. I have located the strange fire. Consider these pills as a token of my gratitude." Yunhua took out several bottles of pills and handed them to the mercenaries.

"Found it? Where is it? I can't see it." Xiao Li led his men over, looking around, but found nothing unusual.

“It’s underground here, I can sense powerful fire-attribute energy,” Yunhua said, while gesturing for the people around her to move away.

Yunhua planned to dig a tunnel directly underground; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use his earth-burrowing technique if the thick yellow sand blocked his way.

As Xiao Ding and Xiao Li led the group away, Yun Hua spread her Void Rending Wind Wings, came into the air, and condensed a rapidly spinning Rasengan shuriken in her hand, which she then flung towards the ground.

A tremendous roar accompanied by a towering mushroom cloud shot into the sky. Xiao Ding and his group, who were thousands of meters away, were almost blown away by the violent shockwave. Those mercenaries who were not strong enough were directly thrown out by the shockwave, flying several meters away. Just as they stood up, before they could even regain their footing, a sandstorm that covered the sky and the earth formed a high wall that instantly engulfed them.

Yunhua stood in mid-air and saw the masterpiece he had created with his Rasengan shuriken. In the middle of the boundless desert, a hemispherical crater with a diameter of over a hundred meters had been blasted open. Thousands of meters outside the crater, a sandstorm was still raging. At the bottom of the crater, lava was constantly emerging and churning, sometimes forming columns of magma.

Yunhua descended to the ground and pulled up the mercenaries who had been buried in the sand one by one. However, they were all covered in dust and sand, which kept falling from their bodies.

"Pah! So much sand, Xiao Yunzi, look what you've done! You've made us all look like this." Xiao Li complained, spitting out sand from his mouth.

"Well, it's my fault. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. But you're not very smart either. Look, Big Brother and Xian'er have both protected themselves with their battle qi armor. There's not a speck of sand in them." Yun Hua scratched his head, a little embarrassed. He had inadvertently forgotten that his strength had already reached the Dou Zong level.

"You little brat, it's your fault, and you're blaming me for being brainless, huh! Looks like I'll have to show you who the second brother is today." Xiao Li grabbed Yun Hua's neck with a resentful look and kept rubbing sand on Yun Hua's body.

"Alright, Second Brother, it's my fault. Please forgive me. I still have some water here." Yunhua handed the water bag magic artifact to Xiao Li and said helplessly.

Xiao Li took the water bag, pulled out the stopper, immediately tilted his head back and took a big gulp. After rinsing his mouth, he spat out the water mixed with sand, then poured out the water and wiped his body.

However, the more he wiped, the more he felt something was wrong. He had poured out so much water, yet it was still not clean. So he gave the water in the water bag to the mercenaries so they could also wash themselves. On the other side, Xian'er handed the water bag to Qinglin so she could also wash herself.

The water bag returned to Xiao Li's hand after going around in circles, and there was still water in it, which really puzzled Xiao Li: "Xiao Yunzi, your water bag can store so much water! It's much more useful than a storage ring. A storage ring can only take out one bucket at a time, and it consumes a lot of battle qi. Yours can pour out water without using any battle qi. What a treasure! Especially in this desert region."

"It's alright. I made this from the hide of a sixth-tier magical beast. It can store over ten tons of water," Yunhua said, turning his head to look at the churning lava.

"You can refine it? Then I'll give this to you as an apology for what happened earlier." Xiao Li tied the water bag around his waist, patted it with his hand, and was extremely satisfied.

"Brother Xiao Yun, I can sense something swimming up from below," Qing Lin said in terror, pointing at the churning lava after washing up.

"Yes, I've already found it. Don't be afraid, your eyes are its nemesis." Yunhua used his divine sense to discover the two-headed fire spirit snake that was swimming.

"What kind of creature can survive in magma? It's truly amazing," Xiao Ding exclaimed solemnly.

Chapter Seventy-Two Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent

"It's alright, I'll catch it later and show it to you, and I'll also give you a Qinglin as a gift." Yun Hua was extremely confident. A mere two-headed fire spirit snake at the Dou Ling realm was nothing more than a cheap ornament, not even half as good as me.

As soon as Yunhua finished speaking, the lava below began to change drastically, with large amounts of bubbles and magma columns emerging, looking dangerous and terrifying.

Suddenly, a muffled boom resounded from the lava lake below, and countless streams of scorching lava erupted in an instant.

Amidst the spray of lava, a massive, mysterious creature suddenly burst forth from the magma, spewing out large amounts of lava in a parabolic arc as it swept towards the people at the edge of the pit.

"Hmph, a mere trick, not worth mentioning." Yun Hua waved his sleeve, and a green wind wall flew out, reversing the magma.

"Xian'er, the wolf pack last time was too weak and didn't really serve as a test. This two-headed fire spirit snake is just right for you. I need you to capture it alive. Can you do that?" Yunhua said to the eager Xian'er.

"No problem, let me handle it." Xian'er seemed to have her fighting spirit ignited, making her somewhat belligerent, but that was a good thing.

Xian'er spread her purple cloud wings and flew above the lava, preparing to fight the two-headed fire spirit serpent.

"Wings of Battle Qi? Battle King?" Xiao Ding asked in surprise.

"No, it's a flying combat technique, but Xian'er isn't far from breaking through to the Dou Wang realm." Yun Hua calmly watched Xian'er prepare to attack and casually replied.

At this moment, the two-headed fire spirit serpent broke through the magma with a sharp hiss and shot towards Xian'er in mid-air. The wildly flying magma also stirred up the calm magma lake, causing pillars of magma fire to shoot into the sky, which was extremely spectacular.

Above the sky, Xian'er's wings flapped rapidly as she dodged the raging lava lake. With the help of the Purple Cloud Wings, Xian'er was extremely fast, but the speed of the mysterious creature was by no means inferior to hers.

The moment the hissing sound subsided, the enormous body displayed a speed that was completely disproportionate to its size, gradually catching up with Xian'er. Then, its ferocious maw opened wide, and its scarlet three-pronged forked tongue shot out like a sharp sword.

"Hmph, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Taste my Ten Thousand Poisons Great Handprint." Xian'er snorted coldly. Facing the snake's forked tongue, she directly struck out a huge, pale green palm, hitting the snake's forked tongue and forcing it back into the snake's mouth. The palm struck the mouth of the two-headed fire spirit snake, causing one of its heads to involuntarily tilt back.

The two-headed fire serpent hissed mournfully, shaking its head repeatedly in an attempt to expel the venom that clung to its body like a leech. However, it could not shake it out and had no choice but to sink into the magma, where the high temperature of the magma would dilute and burn the venom.

A short while later, the two-headed fire spirit snake emerged from the lava, staring intently at the woman who was causing it so much pain.

The snake's body, four or five zhang long, was entirely fiery red. From a distance, it looked like a perfectly round piece of fire jade, with palm-sized red scales densely covering its surface.

This monster has two heads. At the fork of its long neck, there are two ferocious heads with huge diamond-shaped eyes, filled with rage and bloodlust.

However, one of the snake heads that had been hit by Xian'er's Ten Thousand Poisons Handprint appeared extremely weak, clearly indicating a severe injury. However, this also made it impossible for it to hide the killing intent in its eyes.

The two-headed fire serpent's ferocious maw suddenly opened wide, and two huge columns of magma, composed entirely of lava and flame, erupted like a volcanic eruption. Instantly, two surging columns of magma and fire shot fiercely towards Xian'er.

"Bang!" A pillar of fire attacked from a meter or two below Xian'er, but she swiftly dodged it. Although one pillar of fire missed, another shot through the air like lightning, leaving a trail of crimson flames in its wake. With a destructive force, it crashed into Xian'er.

Xian'er no longer intended to toy with the two-headed fire spirit snake. Holding a venomous spear she had conjured, she deflected the incoming flame rays and faced the snake's biting head head head directly.

The spear in his hand thrust out, accompanied by a fierce sound of wind being cut. On the spear, surging green battle aura formed a huge green tip as it tore through space, which looked extremely dazzling.

"Bang!" The spear struck the fire serpent's head with lightning speed, giving it no chance to react.

Instantly, the hard, fiery red scales burst open, and streaks of green blood, corroded by venom, seeped out from the gaps in the scales, finally dripping into the magma and turning into nothingness.

"Hiss, hiss!" Suddenly struck on the head, the Fire Spirit Serpent let out a series of sharp hissing sounds, its huge tail whipping wildly above its head, while Xian'er's body was like a small boat in a raging storm.

Although it seems dangerous, it always maintains a perfect balance between life and death as it moves with the current, like a graceful dance in the air.

The fire serpent, violently churning in the magma, suddenly raised its two enormous heads. Its huge, diamond-shaped eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty ferocity as it stared intently at Xian'er, who was constantly dodging in mid-air.

With a sudden jerk of its head, a deep red flame slowly rose from its massive body, gradually engulfing a small world in a moment.

The crimson flames were aimed at Fairy in the air, intending to surround her and prevent her from utilizing her speed advantage.

"Boom!" The crimson flames that filled the sky suddenly began to spin rapidly, and a violent howling sound echoed continuously in the huge cavern.

As the rotation intensified, the surrounding flames suddenly began to writhe, and a dozen or so two-headed fire spirit snakes, entirely condensed from fire energy, suddenly appeared within the flames.

These ten two-headed fire spirit snakes were not much smaller than the original body. Dozens of huge eyes gleamed with ferocity as they stared intently at Xian'er, who stood motionless in the center.

After circling each other for a moment, they suddenly let out a shriek in unison, the sharp sound waves echoing continuously in the cave, extremely piercing.

As the sound waves rang out, the dozen or so two-headed fire spirit snakes, composed entirely of blazing flames, suddenly formed a fiery array and, carrying a scorching heat capable of evaporating the air, surged towards Xian'er.

More than a dozen enormous creatures, each several meters long, flew and attacked within the cave. The scene was truly spectacular. Of course, behind this spectacle, however, lay a deadly danger.

Looking up at the two-headed fire spirit snake rushing in from all directions, Xian'er smiled faintly and slowly closed her eyes.

"Boom!" With a deafening explosion, more than a dozen two-headed fire spirit snakes collided at the center almost simultaneously.

The moment they made contact, they suddenly exploded. The fierce energy explosion turned into ripples of energy that spread outwards, shaking the lava lake, which had just calmed down a little, into a violent uproar once again.

Xian'er, who appeared to have been blown to pieces, suddenly appeared high in the sky. It was her illusion that had taken the damage for her. She had used the poisonous illusion that Yunhua had helped modify when the two-headed fire spirit snake was preparing its ultimate move.

While leaving the Poison Illusion in place to withstand the attack, Er Xian'er used a method similar to optical invisibility to appear high in the sky.

Xian'er had already unleashed her long-awaited ultimate move, the Myriad Poison Seal. The illusory green seal, resembling a small mountain, descended slowly with immense power, intending to completely suppress the two-headed fire spirit snake.

Chapter Seventy-Three: Lava Diving

An invisible, terrifying force emanated outwards, and the Myriad Poison Seal pierced through the spatial barrier like lightning, slamming into the Fire Spirit Serpent's massive body. The force instantly shattered some of the Fire Spirit Serpent's fiery red scales, and the serpent's body was also violently shoved into the lava lake.

The two-headed fire spirit snake, which had just been slammed into the magma, burst out of the magma again, but it did come at a price. Xian'er's attack, the Ten Thousand Poison Seal, was directly taken by the weakened snake head, which looked extremely miserable. All the scales on its head were broken and embedded in its flesh, and in some places, the white bones were exposed. The snake head was also completely unconscious, and its body was controlled by the other snake head.

"Hiss hiss hiss..." The intense pain caused the Fire Spirit Serpent to raise its head and let out a sharp hiss. Its huge pupils were once again filled with blood red, and its giant mouth opened and closed repeatedly, shooting out pillars of scorching magma that swept towards Xian'er.

"This beast is really tough." Xian'er helplessly dodged, throwing the spear in her hand directly at the upper jaw of the snake. The poison gas instantly contaminated a patch of flesh and blood, causing the two-headed fire spirit snake to hiss in pain.

Seeing the two-headed fire spirit serpent already at its last gasp, Xian'er swung out a chain formed of poisonous fighting energy, which tightly wrapped around the two-headed fire spirit serpent's body, pulling the exhausted serpent out of the magma and bringing it to Yunhua and Qinglin.

"Good, well done. You performed well, not inferior to some Dou Wangs." Yun Hua looked at Xian'er and said with satisfaction.

"Qinglin, come on, try to control it, use your eyes." Yunhua pulled Qinglin over and made her stand in front of the snake's head, which was taller than her, and then said.

At this moment, the two-headed fire spirit snake suddenly struggled violently, opened its mouth wide, and prepared to swallow the tiny person in front of it.

"Ah! No!" In Qinglin's crystal-clear emerald eyes, the scarlet snake mouth continued to widen. Driven by fear, three small green dots suddenly appeared beside Qinglin's emerald pupils.

The three green dots that appeared this time were clearer than any previous time. In fact, if you look closely, you can actually find that these three green dots seem to be like three small flower buds.

The three small green dots in Qinglin's pupils suddenly shone brightly, and in an instant, they transformed into three extremely tiny green flowers.

As this strange green flower emerged, a strong light suddenly shot out from it, illuminating the fire spirit snake in front of it.

When illuminated by this strange light, the huge body of the Fire Spirit Snake suddenly stiffened, and its two pairs of giant eyes stared at the little girl in front of him with a hint of horror.

The strange light moved slowly on the body of the Fire Snake, and finally stopped in the center of the foreheads of the two snake heads.

After the eerie light stopped moving, it began to slowly shrink, but the light it contained became brighter and brighter as the light shrank.

When the eerie light shrank to the size of a palm, it seemed to have reached a certain limit and stopped shrinking. With a burst of light, two small green flowers were imprinted on the two heads of the Fire Spirit Serpent.

After the flowers appeared, the eerie light gradually faded. A moment later, the tiny flowers in Qinglin's eyes quickly disappeared, and the eyes instantly returned to their usual emerald green.

After her pupils returned to normal, Qinglin swayed, her eyelids drooped, and she was about to fall to the ground when Yunhua caught her with lightning speed.

After Qinglin collapsed into Yunhua's arms, the enormous two-headed fire spirit snake remained standing there dumbfounded. However, whenever its gaze swept over Qinglin, the ferocity and savagery within it would involuntarily vanish, replaced by a gentle demeanor.

Yunhua placed a Rejuvenating Purple Pill into Qinglin's mouth. The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and Qinglin's complexion became rosy. Not long after, he groaned and woke up.

"Qinglin, are you feeling better? You've already subdued the two-headed fire spirit serpent." Yunhua said gently, holding the boneless Qinglin in her arms.

After Qinglin woke up, she shook her drowsy little head, looked up at Yunhua who was holding her, and said with a blush on her face, "I feel better. I think I can control it and even sense its emotions and talk to it. It's so amazing."

Yunhua turned her head and whispered to Qinglin, "I'm going down to find the strange fire. Let it lead the way for me down there!"

"Ah~" Upon hearing Yunhua's words, Qinglin's petite body trembled. She could only close her eyes slightly and issue a command to the Fire Spirit Serpent.

Upon receiving Qinglin's order, a hint of reluctance flashed in the Fire Spirit Serpent's enormous eyes. However, under the forced connection, it had no choice but to roar at Yunhua before diving headfirst into the magma.

"I'm going down to find the strange fire first. You guys go back to Stone Desert City. Medusa will probably arrive soon after sensing the aura of the strange fire, so you should stay away for a while." After saying that, Yunhua leaped down into the lava.

Just as Yunhua's body was about to touch the lava, purplish-black flames erupted from his body, enveloping him and forming a purplish-black transparent light shield that separated Yunhua from the lava by two or three meters.

Watching Yunhua jump into the lava, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li led their mercenary group back home, while Xian'er, carrying Qinglin, flew away to wait for Yunhua's return.

Floating in the scorching magma, Yunhua stared in astonishment at the slowly flowing, fiery red magma three meters away.

Protected by the layer of purplish-black flames surrounding him, all the outside temperature seemed to be shut out, with only the chilling feeling of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Fire lingering around him, and he could not feel any heat at all.

Feeling the energy flow required to maintain the shield, Yunhua felt it was harmless and could easily maintain it for four or five days.

Yunhua sensed the location of the two-headed fire spirit snake and flew towards that direction at high speed.

In this fiery lava world, there are no other creatures besides the Fire Spirit Serpent. This is understandable, given the extremely harsh living conditions here. If it weren't for the two-headed Fire Spirit Serpent, a strange beast that feeds on magma, other magical beasts, even sixth-tier magical beasts, would not be able to move freely and unaffected in such a place.

As Yunhua continued to burrow into the seemingly endless magma, even with the protection of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Fire, she could clearly sense that the outside temperature was increasing exponentially.

Before long, Yunhua noticed that the magma outside had begun to turn pale blue, and the temperature had reached an extremely terrifying level.

As Yunhua continued to descend, she needed more energy to maintain the light shield, but it was still within her tolerance range.

Before long, Yunhua noticed that the two-headed fire spirit snake ahead had stopped moving forward, and Yunhua knew that it was about to reach the location of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Yunhua accelerated and arrived at the location of the two-headed fire spirit snake. Suddenly, Yunhua saw something emitting a strong blue light not far away.

A blue light enveloped the magma. Yun Hua focused her gaze and could faintly see a blue lotus flower standing gracefully within that blue light.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the list of extraordinary flames, is born deep within the earth. It undergoes countless tempering, fusion, compression, and sculpting by the earth's fire, taking ten years to become a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus.

When it reaches its full potential, its color becomes bluish, and a cluster of blue flames emerges from the lotus heart. This flame is called the Blue Lotus Flame, also known as the Blue Lotus Earth Core Flame. Its power is unpredictable, and it can even trigger volcanic eruptions in areas near volcanoes!

Yunhua recalled the information about it from the original work, but Yunhua was not looking for it to refine, but to comprehend the laws within it, and then exchange it with a soul cultivation technique and Yao Lao for the inheritance of medicine refining.

"Hiss~" A sharp sound came from the giant mouth of the two-headed fire spirit snake beside him. When Yun Hua turned around, he found that the beast's huge eyes were looking at the blue light with a hint of fear, and its huge body was trembling.

Yunhua glanced disdainfully at the two-headed fire spirit snake that dared not take a step forward, curled her lip, flapped her wings and flew swiftly through the magma, like a small fish in a lake, rapidly swimming towards the area covered by the blue light.

As Yunhua got closer and closer to the cyan light, he could clearly feel the temperature around him rising exponentially.

Undeterred, Yunhua ignored the intense heat that could turn a person to ashes and plunged headlong into the azure light.

When the body entered the blue light, the expected intense heat did not arrive as expected. Instead, the temperature around the body dropped strangely.

Yunhua was not surprised by this somewhat eerie scene. His gaze swept around and finally settled on the blue lotus flower in the center.

The green lotus has eight petals. The eight green leaves are as perfect as the most perfect green jade, and they are crystal clear at first glance, making people feel unable to let it go.

Inside the lotus, there seemed to be a lotus platform about two or three feet in size. Some holes on the platform emitted specks of light, which must have been lotus seeds formed from the purest fire-attribute energy.

Beneath the blue lotus, there was an extremely slender root, more than ten meters long. The root was covered with countless tiny tendrils. As these tendrils swayed, Yunhua 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 magma, drifting like duckweed on the sea, which is why the strange fire was so difficult to find.
