Nine Heavens Blazing Thunder Flame
"After walking out of this tunnel, the deepest part of the ancient cave will be right in front of us. However, the map seems to have recorded this tunnel, causing the path behind to become blurry."
Within a pitch-black tunnel, a black figure was like a black bolt of lightning as it continuously sped forward. Soon after, the figure came to a stop and took out a yellowed map as it softly muttered to itself.
This figure was Zhuowen, who had just left the plaza. At this moment, Zhuowen was holding the map in his hand, but his eyebrows were tightly knitted together. This was because the map in his hand had come to an abrupt end at this point.
"Looks like the deepest part of the cave definitely hides some kind of treasure that even the owner of the cave is unwilling to reveal. Otherwise, this map would not only mark this tunnel." Xiao Hei also saw the abnormality of the map and spoke somewhat helplessly.
"Kid!
The end of this tunnel is definitely extremely dangerous. Do you still want to continue forward? "Suddenly, Xiao Hei turned its head and stared at Zhuowen in a serious manner as it asked.
"Although the harvest this time is indeed pretty good, I really want to see just what kind of incredible treasure this ancient practitioner has left behind!
Furthermore, as a practitioner, it is our duty to fight against the heavens. If we shrink back because of this, I'm afraid that such a person will never be able to become a practitioner in his lifetime.
Therefore, let's bravely move forward! "
A glimmer of brilliance erupted from Zhuowen's eyes as he straightened his back. His body was filled with pride and confidence.
"Heh heh!
You have some courage. However, you should also try your best to be careful. This dragon lord can sense that there is something extremely dangerous in the deepest part of the cave. "Xiao Hei spoke rather cautiously.
Upon seeing Xiao Hei's appearance, Zhuowen could not help but be startled. This was the first time he had seen Xiao Hei reveal such an expression. Clearly, there was indeed a danger in the deepest part of the cave that even Xiao Hei was afraid of. When he thought of this, Zhuowen also became even more vigilant.
After walking in the passageway for about an hour, his vision suddenly widened. An extremely spacious area appeared in front of his eyes. In this area, there were countless huge wooden pillars. The wooden pillars soared into the sky and were tightly packed together. They split into numerous wooden pillar passageways. The winding passageways were like a maze.
Zhuowen was also taken aback by the change in the terrain. He took two steps forward and suddenly discovered that there were some ink-black limbs on the ground. He picked them up and took a closer look. They seemed to be broken human arms, but they were rather hard and cold to the touch, like bamboo joints.
Moreover, Zhuowen also discovered unknown runes on the severed limb, which were emitting traces of strange energy.
"This is … a puppet?"
Looking up, Zhuo Wen discovered that there were many of these limb-like things scattered on the road ahead. There were even some heads with lifeless faces.
"They are indeed puppets. However, these puppets aren't very strong. They should only be at the Corporeal Yang stage.
The place was in a mess. It was obvious that Lü Yuanhua and his group had already passed by this place.
Eh?
Brat, what are you doing?
Why are you collecting these puppet limbs? "Xiao Hei looked at Zhuowen in confusion and asked.
At this moment, Zhuowen waved his right hand and collected all the puppet limbs scattered in the passageway into his Qiankun Bag.
"The 'Ten Thousand Evolution Scripture' is a Secret Spiritual Skill to control puppets. Although the method to create puppets is recorded in it, I don't have any puppet materials. Therefore, I haven't made any puppets!
Since these are the remains of the puppets, I can recycle them. After all, there are still some materials that can be used. "
Zhuowen replied without turning his head as he concentrated on collecting the puppet limbs in the passageway.
"Brat, you can actually think of such a way to use them."
Xiao Hei was startled at first, but then a look of appreciation appeared in his eyes. These puppet limbs were trash to others, but to Zhuowen, who had the 'Ten Thousand Evolution Scripture', they were very valuable things.
Along the way, Zhuowen found many puppet limbs. He even found the remains of some Human King and Earth King Realm puppets. At the same time, there were also traces of fighting on the road.
Obviously, only Lü Yuanhua, Xu Mu, and the group of people from the five major forces could defeat Earth King Realm puppets. He was secretly surprised by the strength of Lü Yuanhua and the others. His hands were not slow as he quickly collected all the puppet limbs into his Qiankun Bag.
After all, the materials of Earth King Realm puppets were much more precious than the previous puppets. Zhuowen naturally would not let them go to waste.
After collecting along the way, more than half of the space in Zhuowen's Qiankun Bag was occupied by puppet limbs. According to Zhuowen's estimation, these puppet limbs were enough for him to create a puppet army of a hundred people. Moreover, each of them would be at least at the Human King Realm. Moreover, with the materials of Earth King Realm puppets, Zhuowen could create two more Earth King Realm puppets.
Thinking of this, Zhuowen could not hide the excitement in his heart. His Zhuo Family, including himself and Zhuo Xiangding, only had two Human King Realm warriors. They did not have a single Earth King Realm warrior.
But now, relying on these materials and the Puppet Secret Technique in the Myriad Evolution Scripture, he could create a puppet army of a hundred Human King Realm warriors. Among them, there would be two Earth King Realm puppets. With such strength, even in the entire Muqin County, the Zhuo Family would have a certain foothold.
After running for another hour in the tunnel, there was still no end to the road in front of them.
"Something is wrong. I seem to have walked on this road just now!"
Zhuowen slowly walked to a wooden stake in the corner. There was an inconspicuous mark there. This mark was drawn by Zhuowen when he was collecting the puppet limbs.
"It seems like this wooden stake path is not simple!
Clearly, there should be a formation inside! "Xiao Hei had also discovered some clues. His eyes swept all around as he spoke in a grave manner.
"Then what should we do?
I don't know anything about Formations! "Zhuowen said helplessly as he scratched his head and shrugged.
"Although this Dragon Lord isn't good at formations, this formation isn't too profound either."
Xiao Hei said and closed her eyes. Her powerful Divine Sense spread out in all directions like a tide.
"Walk three hundred steps forward, turn left, and walk a hundred steps. Break the wooden stake in front of you and this Formation will be broken."
Hearing this, Zhuo Wen was skeptical. Following Xiao Hei's instructions, he walked three hundred steps forward, turned left, and walked a hundred steps. He stopped in front of a rather inconspicuous wooden stake. Without hesitation, he waved his right fist, and with a blazing golden light, he hit the wooden stake in front of him with a rumble.
Boom!
Under the power of his fist, the wooden stake was instantly shattered into countless wood shavings. Unexpectedly, another deep tunnel appeared behind it.
"Eh?
So the path that I have been walking on is just an illusion. The real path is hidden here! "Zhuowen rolled his eyes and said somewhat speechlessly.
After saying this, Zhuowen's feet did not slow down. With a push of his legs, his entire body flew into the tunnel like an arrow leaving the bow. In an instant, he disappeared from the entrance …
After running for about ten minutes in the tunnel, Zhuowen finally saw a white light screen at the end of the tunnel. He knew that the other end of the light screen was the core area of the Ancient Cave Mansion. Lü Yuanhua and the rest were there.
After muttering to himself for a while, Zhuowen took a step forward and directly rushed into the light screen.
After walking into the light screen, Zhuowen's eyes were filled with darkness. In the next moment, countless lightning flashed and thunder roared in front of his eyes. At the same time, his ears resounded with the sound of thunder exploding.
Zhuowen was startled. He immediately used his Yuan Power to protect his body. Only then did he begin to size up the environment in front of him.
This was a huge palace. The floor was made up of sparkling and translucent white jade. At the top of the palace, there was a dazzling golden throne. Clearly, it was the seat of the owner of the cave mansion when he was alive.
However, what shocked Zhuowen was not the throne at the top of the palace. Instead, it was the three legged giant cauldron that was floating in the middle of the palace.
The surface of the giant cauldron was bound by black metal chains that were as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It was suspended at the top of the cauldron. Below the giant cauldron, there was a strange flame that was continuously burning.
Why was this flame called strange? It was because the flame below the giant cauldron did not burn like an ordinary flame. Instead, it was light blue in color. Moreover, during the burning process, it continuously emitted countless thunderbolts. It was as if this strange blue flame could produce thunderbolts.
"Damn!
This can't be the Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno right? "
After seeing the strange flame below the giant cauldron, Xiao Hei suddenly jumped up. She suppressed the excitement in her voice and exclaimed.
"Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno?"
Zhuowen was startled. Immediately, he subconsciously asked. He could sense that this flame that contained thunderbolts was not ordinary. Its might was many times stronger than the Nirvana Demon Flame. Clearly, its rank was much higher than the Nirvana Demon Flame.
"The Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno is a flame that was born from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lightning. It contains the powerful energy of both the Lightning Origin and the Flame Origin. Of course, it can also be said to be a strange flame.
The might of this flame is not the least bit inferior to the Mysterious Lightning. Both of them possess an earth-shaking power. "
"Little fellow, the Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno is a genuine Earth Rank energy. Moreover, it is one of the best and most powerful among the Earth Rank energies. It is an existence that is ranked at the top among the many Earth Rank energies!
If you are able to completely refine the Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno's essence, the might of your Ice Fire Holy Symbol will increase by another level. "
Xiao Hei's voice immediately contained a rich excitement. Her quick-witted eyes became extremely anxious. It was obvious that the Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno in front of her was not ordinary.
Moreover, when he heard that the Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno could increase the might of the Ice Fire Holy Symbol, Zhuowen's eyes also erupted with a shocking radiance.
The power that the Ice Fire Holy Symbol brought to him was indeed extremely heaven-defying. However, he only had the Nirvana Demon Flame and the Heaven Terminus Cold Qi in his body. The power that he could unleash was already unable to cause too much damage to an Earthly King Stage cultivator.
