Chapter 754: 755: He Really is a Big Shot!
One of the disciples asked, the performance of the person below made him feel that the magma didn’t seem as terrifying as his Senior Brother had described. Isn’t it true that anyone could easily step into it?
Could it be that they, as elites, are not even a match for that young man who looks just like an ordinary person?
“Impossible, no one’s flesh body could be that strong, even a high-level Earth Immortal Realm expert from the Li Dynasty wouldn’t dare to linger in magma for long. There must be some mistake!”
The brows of several team leaders were also furrowed; at this moment, they were confused as well.
Who exactly is this person, and how did he get into the magma?
Why doesn’t he die?
If this continues, the loss of their credibility as senior brothers would be the lesser problem. It would be a big deal if the junior brothers and sisters followed suit!
“No, Senior Brother, look, his clothes have been completely burned clean by the flames. If he were using Immortal Yuan to protect himself, such a result would definitely not occur, so he must be walking through the magma relying on his flesh body!”
An observant and clever disciple pointed at the figure below and exclaimed, drawing everyone’s sideways glances.
Indeed, he had a point. If one were to use cultivation techniques to protect themselves, their clothes would not have burned to ashes, and if they were using cultivation techniques, their sins or merits would manifest above their heads. It was impossible for there to be no signs as now.
All signs indicated that the person below was purely sauntering through the lava with his flesh body!
At this revelation, even the team leaders were dumbfounded. What exactly was going on?
Was that person a great figure, or was there an issue with the magma? They were unsure what to think. Honestly, they didn’t believe the person below was a powerhouse. If it was an issue with the magma and it no longer poses a threat now, that would be an incredible opportunity.
Successfully seizing a Flame Tree Silvery Blossom fruit would bring tremendous benefits to their physical bodies and foundations!
At that moment, a cultivator surnamed Ye stepped forward and called out loudly to the figure below, “Brother below, how does the magma feel?”
Below.
Li Xiaobai’s lips curved slightly upwards, and he also shouted back loudly, “Senior Brother, this bathwater is really comfortable, warm and cozy, not scalding at all!”
“Look!”
As he spoke, he lay flat in the molten rock and began to swim.
[Attribute Point +200,000…]
[Attribute Point +200,000…]
[Attribute Point +200,000…]
“It’s really not hot, not at all, quite refreshing!”
Li Xiaobai revealed a bright white smile.
“Hisss! Inconceivable, truly inconceivable!”
Atop the cliff, a group of cultivators wore astonished expressions, never expecting the cultivator below to describe the sensation as warm and refreshing; this is magma, for crying out loud, couldn’t you give us some respect?
Watching the people above fall into astonishment, Li Xiaobai smiled faintly and swam towards the center of the magma where the Flame Tree Silvery Blossom was located.
“Quick, look, that person is heading towards the Flame Tree Silvery Blossom!”
“This is an immense opportunity, if the magma’s potency has indeed weakened, maybe we should contend for it too. I never thought I’d witness such a fortune on my first visit, it’s really nice!”
Observing Li Xiaobai’s actions, many cultivators let out another round of exclamations.
“Don’t rush, let’s wait and see,”
The cultivator surnamed Ye seemed rather composed and calm, speaking softly as he kept his gaze fixed on the person below.
The Flame Tree Silvery Blossom was an ancient tree that reached the sky, completely red in color, looking almost integrated with the magma from a distance. But all of its leaves were shiny silver, creating a striking contrast with the red. The tree exuded an exceptional charm.
There were a total of seven fruits on the tree, all of them fiery red with snow-white leaves, incredibly alluring.
Li Xiaobai didn’t bother to conceal his actions, and he picked the fruits from the tree one by one with his hands, storing them all inside his Space Ring.
“The fruits have been taken by him!”
“Damn it, this guy definitely cheated, the lava has no lethality right now!”
“Right, maybe the heat of the lava was all absorbed by the Flame Tree Silvery Blossom!”
“Senior brother, let’s go down, if we don’t act now, it’ll be too late!”
With that, the cultivators on the cliff could no longer hold back, rubbing their fists and wiping their palms in anticipation, eager to go down and compete for fortune.
“Let me test it out!”
One of the leaders took out a longsword and threw it towards the lava.
“Hiss…”
The longsword turned into a burst of firelight upon contact with the lava and was incinerated into ash.
The scene fell dead silent.
Everyone’s heart trembled, and the fantasies about the lava vanished along with the longsword into ashes.
This lava was absolutely fine; the issue was with the young man below. All that talk of warmth and coolness was nonsensical—he was evidently withstanding the lava with his bare flesh.
Many disciples speculated even more. Perhaps the young man below was a powerful figure on the Demon Path, who had killed countless people. That’s why he could now cross the lava with his bare body without using his cultivation technique—it must be an incredibly fearsome cultivation level!
“Damn it, there really is a problem; I knew something was off. Everyone, retreat quickly!”
The Ye-named cultivator’s complexion drastically changed, and he bellowed loudly, leading the others to hastily retreat.
The other leaders did the same, faces bearing expressions as if they’d seen a ghost. It was the first time they had heard of a cultivator crossing lava with mere flesh. Could it be a powerhouse of the Heavenly Immortal Realm?
Did that mean they were considering lava as bathwater?
“That creature is definitely a big shot!”
“We were almost rude to them!”
The cultivators felt a surge of fear, while the leaders called out as they retreated: “We are disciples of the Great Flame Dynasty and several major sects nearby. We only came to the Demonic Beast mountain range for training and had no intention of offending the predecessor. We hope for your understanding for any disrespect!”
Below, within the lava.
Li Xiaobai collected all the fruits and then leisurely took out a longsword, slashing it towards the cliff without hesitation.
Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch, activate!
In just a moment, countless disciples on the cliff screamed out, their bodies uncontrollably rushing towards the lava.
“What’s happening?”
“My body’s out of control!”
“It’s that big shot controlling our actions!”
“Damn it, it really is a big shot, his Sin Value has reached five thousand!”
“He wants to kill us all with the lava!”
“Predecessor, we have no grudges against you. Why do you want to kill us? I refuse to accept this, I hate this!”
Watching the approaching lava, the cultivators panicked, their courage shattered. Despite this, they were helpless to use any physical strength or the Immortal Yuan within their Dantians, and could only watch as their bodies sunk into the lava bit by bit.
Afterward, their bodies vanished, their Primordial Spirits burned away, and a series of treasures exploded into the void from within them.
The leaders by then had turned green with regret. Why did they covet another’s opportunity? Now, instead of gaining anything, they had brought a disaster upon themselves. In this wave, they feared that they all would die.
The flesh of Human Immortals couldn’t withstand the scorching heat even in the lava and turned to ash after struggling for seconds.
“Heart of the Blood Demon…”
“Demon Path cultivator…”
In their final moments before death, they vaguely saw a huge blood-colored heart and numerous tentacles appear behind Li Xiaobai, with a thick scent of blood drifting over.
Unfortunately, the next second, their world turned dark and silent forever…
