Chapter 1429: The Magma River
After hearing the words of the Old Monster Lishui above him, Qingfeng Li raised his head to realize that his counterpart was about to jump in as well. His expression changed immediately.
d.a.m.n this old man, he thought, I can’t believe he won’t let me off the hook even as I’m about to jump down the cliff. Does he plan to cut me up into pieces?
Old Monster Lishui’s expression turned icy as he saw Qingfeng Li jump off the cliff below him.
“Stupid Qingfeng Li, jumping off the cliff won’t help you, I’m going to jump in after you and kill you all the same!” Old Monster Lishui shouted and jumped down into the cliff after him.
Plop!
Qingfeng Li’s body slammed down hard into the cliff as he immediately began howling in pain.
It was a long river – usually falling into a river wouldn’t bring him so much pain, considering that he was already a half-step into the Spirit Emperor Realm. His body was as hard as stone and practically invincible.
However, this river was unbelievably and horrifically hot, around 8000 degrees. The temperature melted all of Qingfeng Li’s clothes, and burnt through his skin.
Qingfeng Li suddenly realized that he had fallen into a magma river – burning hot red lava was flowing all around him like huge waves in the ocean.
“d.a.m.n it, I can’t believe it! it’s an underground magma lake, I’m going to die for sure now.” Qingfeng Li frowned and cursed in his head. He thought that it would be a regular river, who knew that there would be a hidden magma river all the way down here?
This wasn’t just any magma lake, it was the Dragon-Tiger Mountain’s magma river. Dragon-Tiger Mountain was one of the five Majestic Mountains since the ancient era, along with the Kunlun Mountain, Sky Mountain, and Eastern Sea G.o.dly Dragon Mountain.
This scorching underground magma river was used by saints and immortals in the ancient era to cultivate elixirs – just imagine the power that this lake holds.
Not only did the Magma River frighten Qingfeng Li to his core, the ferocious beasts inside the river might be even more terrifying.
He looked up to see an enormous magma dragon at least three thousand meters long in front of him. The dragon was swallowing lava with its gigantic mouth as it roamed through the magma.
“It’s actually a magma dragon! One of the ancient great ferocious beasts!” Qingfeng Li looked at the dragon with dread in his eyes.
The magma dragon was one of the ten great ferocious beasts of ancient Earth, and just like Qiongqi, it was a super-beast, meaning that barely anyone between the Heavens and Earth could defeat it.
Never would Qingfeng Li have thought that he would see an ancient beast inside the magma river of the Dragon-Tiger Mountain. How unlucky could a person be?
The magma dragon opened its big mouth in antic.i.p.ation, preparing to swallow Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li’s eyes filled with horror for the first time in his life. His opponent was one of the ten ferocious beasts of the ancient era, and right now, he was no match for the dragon. On top of that, his body was injured, and he was still stuck inside the magma river.
Just as the dragon was about to swallow him, a ray of water sword energy shot towards them. Originally aimed at Qingfeng Li, the sword missed due to distance and accidentally hit the magma dragon instead.
Boom!
The water sword was powerful, but it evaporated as soon as it touched the dragon’s body.
Hit by the sword, the magma dragon screeched in anger.
It was one of the ten ferocious beasts, and no one had ever dared to attack it. The dragon decided that it would rip whoever attacked it into pieces.
Looking up, the dragon saw the elder who had shot out the water sword. The elder was walking towards them on a bridge made of water.
Burning with anger, the magma dragon opened its mouth and spat out a streak of lava at the elder on the water bridge.
The Old Monster Lishui’s face turned livid as he saw the incoming lava pillar.
There was a lava lake below the cliff, and a magma dragon inside the lake?
The Old Monster Lishui quickly waved his palm to create a giant protective light veil so that he could defend himself against the lava.
However, the magma river’s temperature was too high, and he failed to protect himself. The water-type light veil was immediately broken through, throwing his body out. He opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of blood.
“d.a.m.n you human, how dare you sneak attack me with your water sword?! Prepare to die!” With a loud scream, the magma dragon again spat out a streak of lava right at Old Monster Lishui.
Having adjusted to the lava, Old Monster Lishui knew better than to use another water-type defense this second time around. He was going to use the Saint’s Ice Bridge instead.
The Old Monster Lishui created a bridge made of ice that was more than a thousand meters long. With ice-type talisman scripts s.h.i.+ning on the bridge, it created a powerful defense array formation, blocking away all the lava.
The Old Monster Lishui wanted to run away, but of course the magma dragon would not allow for a such thing. It continued attacking him with lava.
Terrified, the Old Monster Lishui had no choice but to continue fighting the dragon with the Saint’s Ice Bridge.
Qingfeng Li, still stuck in the Magma River, felt a pang of relief as he saw the two almighty masters fight against each other.
They were both idiots. As one of the ten ferocious beasts of ancient Earth, the magma dragon was immensely powerful, but it was still stuck in the magma river.
Old Monster Lishui, on the other hand, was a supreme master of the self-cultivation world, and had the Saint’s Ice Bridge. Naturally, he was incredibly powerful as well, but he could not escaped under the attacks of the magma dragon. As for now, the two of them just kept attacking each other, no one able to defeat the other.
“Neighbors who can’t agree lose out to a third party.” Excitement lit up in his eyes as Qingfeng Li decided to run away during their battle.
Qingfeng Li held his breath and did not allow himself to make any noise so that he would not alert the magma dragon next to him.
He slowly sank into the magma river. The lava burnt and created cuts all over his body; he felt like he was being cooked.
Qingfeng Li gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, enduring the pain coming from all parts of his body. Then he began swimming towards the east of the river, the exact opposite direction from the magma dragon.
