UGB Chapter 71 Self-Destruction
Chapter 71 Self-Destruction
After the fire dragon's body was possessed by the fire spirit, it relied on the perfect cultivation environment and some resources left by the Pure Yang True Man to cultivate all the way to the peak of the eighth level.
However, it was unable to break free from the constraints of its own body and leave this place.
The appearance of Mu Chunfeng was precisely an opportunity. Its original plan was to wait for Mu Chunfeng to obtain the inheritance before intervening to capture Mu Chunfeng and seize the cultivation technique. In this way, it would find a way to break free from the constraints of its original body.
The appearance of Lady Wen was an even greater opportunity for it.
Compared to Mu Chunfeng's body, which was that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this pure fire-attribute cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage was practically the perfect vessel tailor-made for him.
So it changed its mind and decided to keep both of them together.
But despite all its calculations, it never expected that its peak eighth-level cultivation would be defeated by the two of them.
Now that the fire dragon's physical body has been destroyed, it is left with only a spiritual body and can no longer do these things.
Even more critically, the fire lotus that nurtured its sentience was about to be taken away by Madam Wen. Once all the lotus seeds were picked and the fire lotus itself was destroyed, its hard-won sentience would vanish into thin air.
After figuring everything out, Mu Chunfeng's face turned ashen. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and fled frantically back to the passage he had come from!
On the other side, Madam Wen was carefully reaching out to pick lotus seeds from the fire lotus.
She listened to the conversation between the fire dragon and Mu Chunfeng, and just curled her lips in disdain.
In her view, the fire dragon was doomed to die, and even if its demonic soul left its body, it would be too late.
Because the spirit and the body are closely connected, when the body is seriously injured, the spirit within the body will also be damaged.
But just as she took the second lotus seed, the originally calm Pure Yang Fire Lotus suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light!
An extremely terrifying surge of pure yang energy erupted from the fire lotus, and the unsuspecting Madam Wen was violently blasted away by this force.
The fire dragon's eyes, which had been dimmed, suddenly burst forth with an eerie golden light. Immediately afterward, a golden beam flew out of its mouth and plunged straight into the fire lotus.
The next second, the fire dragon's voice vanished, replaced by a strange voice, resembling that of a middle-aged man, echoing near the stone ring. The voice grew increasingly faint: "The Pure Yang Fire Lotus is connected to the core of this fire vein. If I self-destruct, the entire underground fire vein will go berserk! The whole island will be reduced to ashes! You... will all perish with me!"
Boom! ...
A deafening roar shook the entire underground space violently.
This commotion was even more terrifying than the battle between the two Nascent Soul cultivators just now.
The thirty-six petals of the Pure Yang Fire Lotus exploded instantly, turning into countless golden fragments imbued with Pure Yang True Fire, scattering in all directions.
The raging pure yang energy spread wildly like an out-of-control flood along the fire veins beneath the stone ring.
The once calm lava lake was instantly engulfed by towering waves tens of meters high, which exploded into huge clouds of fire in the air.
ka ka ka-
A piercing cracking sound came from all directions.
The rock walls of the entire underground space were covered with countless huge cracks, and countless pieces of rock fell like raindrops.
The rock strata overhead began to collapse in large areas, and huge rocks crashed down with a whooshing sound, splashing lava everywhere.
Madam Wen was terrified and turned to fly wildly back towards the entrance she had come from.
She still had some spiritual energy left after taking the pill, and now she didn't care about using it up, desperately urging her magic power to escape.
Mu Chunfeng had already turned and fled when he realized that the fire dragon was about to self-destruct. At this moment, he had already flown to the exit and was returning to his previous cave through the passage.
"Hey kid! You stop right there!"
Madam Wen was, after all, a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even though her spiritual power was insufficient, her speed was still extremely fast. She only flew for a short while before she saw Mu Chunfeng and Xue Mo about to rush into the passage.
However, in this life-or-death situation, Mu Chunfeng naturally wouldn't obediently listen. Not only did he not stop, but his spiritual light surged again, and his speed increased even more.
Just as Madam Wen was furious, an even more violent explosion occurred.
The core of the entire underground volcano began to collapse, and a torrent of lava swept in like a tsunami, rising continuously and melting everything in its path.
At this moment, Mu Chunfeng no longer flew away on its own, but was enveloped by the Snow Demon's escape light and carried by it.
After all, his own speed is still a bit slow, and he has other things to do now.
He kept taking out mid-grade spirit stones with one hand, frantically absorbing their spiritual power, and then injecting it into his eyes.
With his other hand, he kept throwing talismans behind him. One after another, fire talismans, ice talismans, and earth talismans exploded behind him, forming temporary walls of fire, ice, and earth, trying to slow down Madam Wen's speed.
The roar behind them grew closer, and so did Madam Wen's figure.
Just as he felt his eyes becoming increasingly swollen from the excessive infusion of spiritual energy, and he was about to collapse, a glimmer of light finally appeared ahead.
It's an export!
A flash of wild joy appeared in Mu Chunfeng's eyes, and the spiritual light around the Snow Demon surged once more, carrying Mu Chunfeng as it rushed out.
Almost at the same time he rushed out of the cave, a deafening roar came from behind him.
The entire island collapsed completely from the ground up.
From the sea, the island's surface appears to be cracked with countless deep, bottomless ravines. The entire island seems to be gripped by an invisible hand, constantly twisting and trembling.
Just as Mu Chunfeng and Xue Mo had rushed out of the cave and flown less than a hundred feet, a crimson streak of light also shot out from inside the island, and Madam Wen had successfully escaped.
As Mu Chunfeng expected, she showed no intention of fleeing in any other direction. Her escape light chased straight towards him, clearly not intending to let him go.
Neither side dared to linger. They both knew that once the underground completely exploded, the entire island would explode, and the resulting shockwave would be extremely powerful.
Just then, Mu Chunfeng turned around abruptly, his double pupils locking onto Madam Wen's figure behind him. A low shout exploded in his mind: "Freeze!"
Madam Wen, who was flying at high speed, suddenly froze, and her escape light abruptly stopped in mid-air.
In that brief moment of hesitation, the small island behind them exploded completely!
A massive pillar of crimson fire shot into the sky from the center of the island, piercing the clouds and turning the entire sky red.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable surge of spiritual energy, like a tsunami, swept outwards from the island in all directions.
The impact of this force has created a huge crater several miles in circumference in the seawater, and it continues to expand outwards.
Madam Wen's face turned deathly pale, her heart filled with shock and anger. She quickly gathered her last bit of magical power and erected a defensive shield.
But the protective shield couldn't even withstand the terrifying shockwave for a moment and was shattered.
She let out a scream, and her whole body was violently thrown away like a kite with a broken string, disappearing in the blink of an eye into the sky full of fire and smoke.
At the same time, Mu Chunfeng manipulated the last bit of spiritual power in his body, opened the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and an iron rhinoceros beast with a body of dark blue scales flew out from it.
Just as the Iron Rhinoceros flew out and saw Mu Chunfeng, it was about to lower its head and nuzzle him.
Mu Chunfeng shook the golden bell that controlled the Iron Rhinoceros Beast. The Iron Rhinoceros Beast immediately sensed the earth-shattering danger behind it, and a dark blue-green protective shield appeared, firmly enveloping Mu Chunfeng and the Snow Demon.
At the same time, the Snow Demon also made a move, taking the bell from Mu Chunfeng's hand, and a layer of ice-blue light shield condensed around his body to envelop the two of them.
All of this was accomplished in the blink of an eye.
After doing all this, Mu Chunfeng could no longer hold on.
A wave of emptiness washed over him as his spiritual energy was drained and depleted, and suddenly everything went black before his eyes.
With his last glance, he saw the entire island behind him transform into a towering pillar of fire, and Madam Wen's figure was completely annihilated in the flames.
Was she completely obliterated, or swept away to the deep sea by the shockwave? He no longer had the strength to think about it.
The next second, Mu Chunfeng fell straight into Xue Mo's arms and lost consciousness.
