Chapter 394

A burning blood flame

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Endless blood flames continued to burn in the mother nest's magma. In the blink of an eye, countless evil creature larvae were burned to ashes by the blood flames.

Hiss!

After all the evil creature larvae died, the magma in the mother nest solidified and stopped working. All the blood flames in the empty space gathered around the figure in the center of the empty space.

In an instant, not a single trace of blood flames remained in the empty space. Instead, the slender figure of a youth stood quietly in the center of the empty space.

At this moment, Zhuowen's upper body was bare. His entire body was smooth and muscular, and there were no signs of being burned at all. What was even stranger was that in the center of Zhuowen's chest, a blood-red flower with five petals was slowly blooming. It was a strange yet poignant sight.

Whoosh!

Xiao Hei instantly arrived in front of Zhuowen. It stared at the youth in front of it with a complicated gaze. Zhuowen's willpower had already exceeded its expectations. It had originally thought that Zhuowen would not be able to withstand the flower of flames, but now, Zhuowen had done it.

"Kid!

Congratulations on breaking through to the seventh level of the 'Jade Stone Body Tempering Technique'. It looks like you've gained quite a lot this time! "

At this moment, Zhuowen's face was filled with excitement. After breaking through to the 'Jade Stone Body Tempering Technique', Zhuowen was shocked to find that his body was filled with an endless amount of strength. Moreover, this strength was far greater than before he broke through. Now, even a slight wave of his arm could easily cause his strength to reach seven or eight hundred thousand jin. If he used his full strength, it would probably exceed five hundred thousand jin.

"Mm!

The 'Jade Stone Body Tempering Technique' is truly miraculous. After breaking through to the seventh level, the strength in my body has increased by several times. Right now, just the strength of my body alone has already reached the legendary level of the Sandstone Island's warriors. That's comparable to a peak Ultimate Emperor realm powerhouse. "

Clenching his right hand, Zhuowen fiercely punched the empty space beneath his feet. With a thunderous explosion, dense cracks began to appear on the surface of the empty space with Zhuowen at the center. When the cracks spread to the edges of the empty space, the entire space actually turned into countless fragments.

Zhuowen and Xiao Hei directly leaped onto the chain stairs. Looking down at the shattered space below, Zhuowen and Xiao Hei revealed expressions of shock. The power of Zhuowen's punch had greatly exceeded their expectations.

"What an unexpected strength!

Kid, with just the strength of your body now, I'm afraid you don't even need to fear the Lord of the Underworld! "Xiao Hei said emotionally.

Nodding slightly, the corners of Zhuowen's mouth also revealed a trace of a happy smile. Indeed, high risk came with high reward. Thinking back to the burning pain he had experienced in the Flower of Flames, Zhuowen still felt some lingering fear. It was just like a fiery hell, and the constantly rising temperature was enough to destroy anyone's rationality.

Fortunately, Zhuowen had persevered in the end. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would have been burned to ashes by the Flower of Flames and perished here.

"Kid!

Just now, after you successfully broke through, you actually released a type of blood flame. What exactly is that blood flame?

And from the performance just now, that blood flame's strength actually far surpasses that of ordinary Earth Flames. Even the strength of the other three Earth Flames in your body can't compare to the blood flame you released just now. "Xiao Hei's eyes turned as he suddenly asked Zhuowen.

Chi!

Hearing this, Zhuowen clenched his fist, and a blood flame that was as viscous as blood suddenly appeared in Zhuowen's palm, burning fiercely. Xiao Hei could even smell the faint smell of blood in the blood flame.

"Originally, the 'Jade Stone Body Tempering Technique' mentioned that when breaking through to the seventh level, a Flower of Flames will form around the body. The Flower of Flames will have five petals, and its breath will be as hot as fire. When the Flower of Flames completely blooms with five petals, it means that the seventh level of the 'Jade Stone Body Tempering Technique' has been completed. The physical body will reach an unimaginable level, and the Flower of Flames will gradually dissipate."

"But when I finally endured the painful tempering of the Flower of Flames, the Flower of Flames didn't dissipate. Instead, it fused with my body, as if it had become one with my body. As long as I want to, I can release an endless amount of blood flame with a punch. What's strange is that the fuel for the blood flame is the blood of living creatures. Therefore, to use the blood flame, I have to consume my own blood. Fortunately, the amount of blood consumed is not much!"

A trace of doubt appeared in Zhuowen's eyes. He didn't know much about the blood flame, so he could only ask Xiao Hei for advice.

Xiao Hei looked at Zhuowen strangely and frowned, "Logically speaking, the Flower of Flames should naturally dissipate after it blooms with five petals. However, your Flower of Flames has fused with your body. I'm afraid that this has something to do with your blood fusing with the Flower of Flames."

Xiao Hei thought back to when the Flower of Flames had bloomed with five petals. Almost all of Zhuowen's blood had been evaporated by the Flower of Flames, and the evaporated blood had entered the Flower of Flames, completely fusing with it. As a result, the Flower of Flames had turned blood-red.

It was very likely that an unknown mutation had occurred when Zhuowen's blood came in contact with the Flower of Flames. As a result, the Flower of Flames had directly established a connection with Zhuowen's body after it had fully bloomed. Not only did it not dissipate, but it had completely fused with Zhuowen's body.

Zhuowen nodded in agreement when he heard that. He had also discovered that his body was probably even more powerful than the seventh layer of the Jadestone Body Tempering Method after fusing with the Blood Flames. Moreover, Zhuowen could control the Blood Flames to launch surprise attacks as he wished as well.

"Looks like you've really profited from a disaster!

The Blood Flames are far more powerful than regular Earth Flames. They're comparable to the most powerful Earth Flames. Even an ordinary Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator would find it difficult to withstand them!

Moreover, your Blood Flames can combine with the other three Earth Flames in the Nine-wheel Incineration Cauldron to form the Nine-Wheel Incineration Formation.

Xiao Hei could not help but click his tongue in wonder at Zhuowen's fortuitous encounter. He sighed inwardly at how lucky Zhuowen was.

"Mm!

Originally, the Nine-Wheel Heaven Incineration Cauldron was already powerful enough to threaten an early stage Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator with the three earthly fires. However, if the blood flames were added into the cauldron, the Nine-Wheel Heaven Incineration Formation's power would rise to a whole new level. It would already be able to kill a peak first wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator, and it might even be able to trap an early stage second wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator for some time. "

Zhuowen could not help but grin. The Blood Flames he obtained from his breakthrough were truly timely. They had instantly increased his trump cards and strength by quite a bit.

"Since the Jadestone Body Tempering Method has successfully broken through to the seventh layer, we should go up and take a look. I wonder if the Nether King is at the other end of the stairs."

At this moment, Zhuowen was filled with confidence. With his current strength, he was comparable to a peak Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. Moreover, once he broke through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm, his battle prowess would rise to another level. He would probably not be weaker than an ordinary second Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator.

Whoosh!

With that, Zhuowen stepped onto the stairs and turned into a blur as he shot towards the top of the stairs.

Above the chain stairs was an extremely vast grassland. Strangely, this grassland was actually a strange ink-black color. The entire grassland looked extremely gloomy and terrifying.

At the end of the grassland was a huge black castle that resembled a coiling dragon. It stood silently at the end of the grassland, and this was the Nether King's Nether Castle.

They were on top of a high slope that was filled with dense black weeds. Waves of strange black aura lingered in the surroundings. It was silent and strange.

On the other side of the slope was a pitch-black abyss. The stairs formed by three chains had appeared out of nowhere at the entrance to the abyss, as if someone had opened up a path to the grassland from the depths of the abyss.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Numerous rushing air sounds suddenly appeared on the middle flight of stairs. Immediately, five somewhat miserable looking figures suddenly rushed out from the middle flight of stairs and arrived on the tall slope in an instant.

The leader of the five figures was a handsome brown-haired youth. This brown-haired youth was the captain of Nine Dragons City, Feng Long. Originally, there were eight people from Nine Dragons City who had entered the training grounds, but now there were only five left. Obviously, the remaining three had perished in the broodmother's lava.

"I really didn't expect the mother nest's lava to be so dangerous and difficult to deal with. If we hadn't used a treasure bestowed by the City Lord, I'm afraid we would have been buried in the mother nest." Feng Long gloomily stared at the stairs behind him as he spoke with some fear.

"Sigh!

In the end, we still lost three people. What Saintess Alice said was right. The entire training ground is already under the control of the Netherworld King. I wonder if we can successfully seize the power of the Holy City. "The red-clothed woman said with a worried look in her beautiful eyes.

As soon as the woman in red finished speaking, the others in the group instantly fell silent. After experiencing the miserable battle from before, they'd already started to fear the Nether King.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Right at this moment, three figures flashed out from the leftmost chain staircase. They were the only three remaining Half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators in Thunder Universe City. Based on the exhaustion on their faces, Thunder Universe City was probably not in a better state than Nine Dragon City. It might even be worse.

"Damned Nether King!

If I catch you, I will make you beg for death. "The moment the white-haired Pang Tong appeared on the high slope, he roared furiously at the sky.

Feng Long shook his head when he saw the unwilling expression on Pang Tong's face. He said, "Brother Pang!

The Nether King's true body is in the black castle ahead. He's too strong. I'm afraid we'll have to join forces to defeat him and successfully obtain the power of the Holy City. "

Pang Tong regained his composure at this moment. He glanced at Feng Long and thought for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I won't let the Nether King go. But what about the power of the Holy City after we deal with him?"

"Of course we'll fight for it with our own ability. The power of the Holy City will naturally belong to whoever obtains it." Feng Long smiled faintly.

The corners of Pang Tong's mouth twitched when he looked at the five people on Feng Long's side and the three people on his side. However, he knew that they wouldn't be able to deal with the Nether King if they didn't join forces.

"Alright!

Let's join forces for now. "

After agreeing to Feng Long's suggestion, Pang Tong quickly noticed the chain stairs on the rightmost side. A strange expression immediately appeared in his eyes. He said, "Why is there another chain stairs?

Has someone else entered the training ground? "
