Chapter 1164 - 1164 Burning Bones of the Same Kind
1164 Burning Bones of the Same Kind
“Yu Huang…” Sheng Xiao sensed that someone was approaching him. When the marriage line on his ring finger moved, he knew that Yu Huang was there.
“It’s me.” Yu Huang realized that Sheng Xiao’s voice was filled with pain, so she asked him, “Why are you still in the magma pool? We might have already missed the third round.”
Sheng Xiao said, “I realized that there seems to be a mysterious force in the magma pool. That force keeps hammering my bones and repairing my damaged bones.”
Yu Huang was overjoyed when she heard this. “That’s great. If you can’t repair your bone structure, it’s fine even if you miss the screening test. At most, when your bone structure is repaired, I’ll accompany you to Cang Lang City. We’ll partic.i.p.ate in the Challenger League directly.”
!!
“…Okay.” Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang, “What about you? Why haven’t you gone out yet?”
Yu Huang said, “The magma is not a threat to the Divine Feather Phoenix. I’ve been letting Xuan Yu devour the energy in the magma these past few days. I also took the opportunity to successfully refine the Grand Master’s heart blood.”
“…Congratulations.”
Yu Huang suddenly said, “Brother Xiao, I’ve decided to go to the bottom of the magma pool to take a look.”
Sheng Xiao froze.
Weren’t they at the bottom of the magma pool now?
Sheng Xiao guessed the other possibility and asked in shock, “Do you mean deeper underground?”
“Yes,” Yu Huang said. “I have a feeling that there’s something very important to me below.”
“Something important?” Sheng Xiao thought about it and asked uncertainly, “Are you referring to the terrifying power you sensed through your psychic power that day?”
Yu Huang nodded.
Then, she thought about how Sheng Xiao couldn’t see her at all, so she said, “That’s right. At that time, I didn’t awaken the bloodline power in my body, so I couldn’t sense what that power was. But these days, when I was refining the heart blood, I felt that there was a subtle power summoning me from deep underground. I think the power you’re talking about is very likely the energy I sensed before.”
“I don’t know what that is, but it must be related to the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan.”
“In that case…” Sheng Xiao said,” I’ll go with you. ”
“Okay.”
Yu Huang released her psychic power again and let the psychic tentacles explore the way for her.
She held Sheng Xiao’s hand as she swam around in the magma pool and said, “I don’t think a flame mountain formed by a Prime Emperor Beast Heart can last for thousands of years. Perhaps, when Prime Emperor Ice Flame buried the beast heart underground, he accidentally created a pa.s.sageway and connected Blazing Flame Mountain with the energy deep underground.”
“If I’m not mistaken, there must be a secret pa.s.sageway at the bottom of the magma pool. That pa.s.sageway can allow us to reach the mysterious power deep underground.”
Sheng Xiao felt that Yu Huang’s a.n.a.lysis was reasonable, so he said, “Let’s find the pa.s.sageway first.”
“Okay.”
Soon, the psychic tentacles found a crack pa.s.sageway, and countless magma solution was flowing out of the crack towards the Blazing Flame Mountain.
As Yu Huang stood at the edge of the crack, she realized that the magma was flowing out of the crack, so her guess was true. “There’s indeed a pa.s.sageway.” Yu Huang was worried about Sheng Xiao when she realized that the temperature in the crack was clearly higher than that of the magma pool.
She said, “Brother Xiao, the temperature below will be even higher. Why don’t you stay here?”
Sheng Xiao said, “I can hold on. Perhaps the deeper we go, the stronger the mysterious energy that can repair my damaged bones. Let’s dive underground together.”
Seeing how insistent Sheng Xiao was, Yu Huang stopped dissuading him.
However, she was still worried, so she said, “If you can’t hold on anymore, remember to tell me.”
“Okay.”
Yu Huang extended the wings on her back again and said to Sheng Xiao, “Brother Xiao, lie on my back. I’ll carry you down.”
How could a man let a woman carry him?
But…
Sheng Xiao still laid on Yu Huang’s back obediently. He grabbed Yu Huang’s neck tightly and let her carry him deep underground.
No one else could see them anyway.
Just as Yu Huang had said, the lower they went, the higher the temperature. The energy that was tempering Sheng Xiao’s bones was also getting stronger.
The more pain Sheng Xiao suffered, the faster his bones would heal.
Therefore, he was in pain and joy.
After swimming for an unknown distance, Yu Huang suddenly said, “That energy is getting closer and closer to us. I feel as if the blood in my body is beginning to become excited.” It was as if a pot of water had suddenly boiled and started to go berserk.
Sheng Xiao didn’t answer her.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao was in such great pain that he couldn’t speak.
But he didn’t stop.
Yu Huang could only continue carrying Sheng Xiao downstream.
After a long time, Yu Huang realized that Sheng Xiao’s breathing had suddenly become heavy. She stopped and put Sheng Xiao down carefully before saying, “Brother Xiao, wait for me here. I’ll go down myself.”
Sheng Xiao was on the verge of collapse, but he still refused to let go of Yu Huang’s hand. “No, I have to accompany you.” It was a lie that he wanted to use the energy to repair his bones. He was just worried that Yu Huang would be in danger underground.
Sheng Xiao’s will was on the verge of collapse, but he still refused to let go of Yu Huang’s hand. “…No, I have to accompany you.” It was fake that he wanted to use the energy to repair his bones. He was worried that Yu Huang would risk her life underground.
With the marriage line, Yu Huang would never lose track of Sheng Xiao’s whereabouts.
Sheng Xiao shook his head stubbornly and said, “No, we can either go together or none of us will go.”
“Stubborn idiot!” Yu Huang smacked Sheng Xiao’s chest and sent him flying a hundred meters up the crack.
Sheng Xiao frowned in pain.
She was so rough!
“Wait for me here obediently. I’ll come back to find you.” Yu Huang stared at the darkness for a while before continuing deeper underground without hesitation.
As Sheng Xiao’s bones were repeatedly tempered, he was in so much pain that he was delirious. He couldn’t continue to chase after Yu Huang, so he could only stay where he was and sit down cross-legged while waiting for Yu Huang to come and pick him up.
To be honest, carrying Sheng Xiao on her back was a burden to Yu Huang.
After leaving Sheng Xiao behind, Yu Huang swam very quickly. Before long, she reached the bottom of the crack. When she reached the bottom of the crack, Yu Huang realized that there was no lava solution here.
It was as if there was an invisible force that had separated the crack from the magma. At the end of the crack, there was actually a narrow s.p.a.ce.
At the end of the s.p.a.ce, there was a circular hole that could only accommodate one person. The other end of the hole flickered with a red light and looked very eerie.
Yu Huang stared at the red light outside the exit of the crack as all kinds of guesses flashed across her mind.
What was outside the crack?
Was it another world?
Or was it another magma pool?
Yu Huang hesitated for a moment before flying out of the circular hole.
Even though she was mentally prepared, when Yu Huang really flew out of the cave and saw the scene in front of her clearly, she was still shocked speechless.
In front of her, there was a dungeon that she couldn’t escape from even if she had wings!
The dungeon was made into a square. On the back of the dungeon, there was a smooth black wall. A huge bird had 108 thick ice crystal marrow pillars that pierced through the bones and nailed to the wall!
The bird had already died. The feathers on its body had fallen to the ground, and the flesh and blood on its body had already rotted, but it still maintained a complete body shape.
What was even more shocking was that the bird’s bones were actually burning with raging flames!
The aura of the flames was so familiar. It was…
Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame!
Yu Huang’s legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
It was because she felt the aura of her own kind.
As she looked up at the bird nailed to the wall above her head, tears streamed down her face.
No wonder Prime Emperor Ice Flame was unable to change the ecological environment of his hometown after a thousand years of modification. It was because a powerful Divine Feather Phoenix had been imprisoned deep underground in this desert, and the Divine Feather Phoenix that had died unjustly would continue to burn the Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame after its death until its divine bones were burned into nothingness.
The Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame released by a powerhouse of the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan made this land barren.
Yu Huang stared at the phoenix skeleton in shock and was extremely curious about the ident.i.ty of this skeleton when it was alive.
A Divine Feather Phoenix that had burned for at least 10,000 years after her death but had yet to burn her bones to ashes was definitely more powerful than a Prime Emperor.
And other than a Divine Master, what else could be above the Prime Emperor level?
