Chapter 370: 【290】Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus! Evolution of Strange Fire! (Second release, ask for monthly tickets and recommendations)_1
 

“Bang!”

The entire rock wall suddenly burst as if struck by an explosion, with countless streams of magma splattering everywhere.

Pei Jinye felt the terrifying shadow of a roaring surge coming from behind and, without looking back, he grabbed the Flame Lotus and fled for his life.

“Boom boom boom!”

A crushing sound erupted.

In a fleeting glance, Pei Jinye realized that the Fire Dragon he had fought earlier with the white-haired woman was hundreds of meters long just in body size.

The Rage Wing Dragons from both the Lei and Huang Families were nothing but tiny flames in front of this massive Fire Dragon.

“Damn, it’s just a Flame Lotus, is it worth all this hullabaloo?”

The flames burst chaotically.

Pei Jinye’s figure disappeared from the spot.

A thousand meters away in the forest, it was like a meteor had hit the ground, instantly collapsing a hundred-meter radius, as plumes of dust and thousands of broken branches shot up into the sky like a torrential rain of arrows in every direction.

“Ptui! His grandfather’s!”

Pei Jinye felt like all the bones in his body were about to shatter, and after removing his gloves, the ghastly white bones of his bloody and severed palm were exposed.

The agony of fractured bones throughout his body was not something an ordinary person could endure.

But Pei Jinye looked as if it were nothing, his complexion unchanged.

Through Flesh Rebirth, his body quickly returned to its original state.

Pei Jinye crawled out of the deep pit, pushing aside the debris around him, but as soon as he emerged, he was shocked to find that people were everywhere around him.

Two Rage Wing Dragons, standing ten meters apart, turned their heads to look at him simultaneously.

The clash between the Lei and Huang Families was also put on hold due to the recent tremor.

Glancing around, Pei Jinye saw Huang Tiansheng, people from the Nangong Family, and also Ouyang Lianyi… This woman seemed to recognize him even behind the ink armor.

Huang Tiansheng looked doubtfully at this mysterious man who had fallen from the sky, and not quite understanding his origin yet, the naturally cautious man did not rush to act.

However, the Lei Family, led by none other than Lei Jiwoo, the pride of the Lei Family’s younger generation and the overall commander of their forces this time, noticed Pei Jinye wanted to leave.

Suddenly, Lei Jiwoo tilted his head and said, “Keep him here.”

Four figures vanished from the spot in an instant.

And when they reappeared.

The four had already exchanged blows with Pei Jinye.

A wave of dust rose.

Pei Jinye was struck on the shoulder, and as his body tilted backward, his other hand had already grabbed the arm of one of them.

With a chilling smile.

“Rip,” came the sound.

Flesh flew everywhere.

In an instant, a bloodied figure with half its body reduced to bone appeared within everyone’s vision, emitting heart-wrenching screams.

Immediately after, the figure had its neck clamped and twisted off.

The shrill sound abruptly ended.

All around the scene, those who saw this spectacle couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.

“Old Sha!” The four who arrived had instantly become three, and one with a bearded face showed a look of wrenching pain, wanting to rush forward but was held back by someone beside him.

“Interesting,” muttered Huang Tiansheng, seeing one of the Lei Family members fall in an encounter with Pei Jinye, and he took a longer look at him.

Someone beside him whispered, “There’s still no news from Brother Tianbao… And both judges have gone missing.”

Huang Tiansheng frowned.

Before he could think any further, a shout suddenly burst forth from the opposite side, and as the ground shook, it was the enraged Lei Family, ready to confront the mysterious man in ink armor.

Huang Tiansheng sneered.

He ordered a retreat with his team.

But he stopped in front of the Ouyang Family, his gaze fixated on Ouyang Lianyi: “Where have you hidden her?”

“You think too highly of me. If I could get that crazy woman to listen to me, the sun would rise from the west,” Ouyang Lianyi replied with a faint smile, her gaze briefly meeting the ink-armored figure entangled with the Lei Family before continuing leisurely, “Huang Tiansheng, you’re clinging to the mad woman like this, people who don’t know might think you’re a lovesick fool, is it necessary?”

“Speaking of which, your family once intended for you to marry me,” said Huang Tiansheng calmly.

Ouyang Lianyi didn’t deny it but simply shook her head with regret, “Too bad, sister didn’t fancy you.”

Huang Tiansheng narrowed his eyes.

Ouyang Lianyi didn’t bother with him anymore and walked away but left behind a remark: “Do you really think that if your Huang Family sends judges to kill my people, they will ever make it out of Dragon Valley alive?”

Huang Tiansheng watched Ouyang Lianyi’s retreating figure without a word.

Their probing ended there.

Ouyang Lianyi had seen through Huang Tiansheng’s small moves. However, Huang Tiansheng didn’t just let her words pass by as idle threats; knowing her as he did, if things really escalated, she indeed had the capacity to make good on her words.

Watching Ouyang Lianyi walk away, the Huang Family drew closer, “Brother Tiansheng?”

Everyone was waiting for Huang Tiansheng’s decision.

Looking up at the sky, Huang Tiansheng gazed towards the distant red plumes of smoke billowing from the erupting volcano: “It’s about time. Let’s go.”

The Huang Family quickly withdrew.

After two more of their number were killed by Pei Jinye, Lei Jiwoo’s face turned so dark with anger it seemed as if it could drip water.

Noticing Ouyang Lianyi approaching, he snorted coldly, “Kid, I’ll remember you.”

Seeing that Huang Tiansheng had already proceeded towards the volcano, he naturally didn’t dare waste time.

He had to temporarily set aside his anger at Pei Jinye and follow the Huang Family.

Thick smoke billowed from the remains of the devastated scene.

Ouyang Lianyi, with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, walked up to Pei Jinye: “Nice outfit.”

“Sorry, you’ve mistaken me for someone else,” Pei Jinye flatly denied as he crouched to search the bodies.

“Your mentor sister even asked me to bring you some treasures. Looks like I got the wrong person,” Ouyang Lianyi sighed lightly, pretending to leave with her people.

A breeze blew through.

Pei Jinye’s figure instantly moved in front of Ouyang Lianyi, quite straightforwardly tearing off his mask: “Sister, you’re really too sensitive to teasing, I was just joking.”

Ouyang Lianyi gave him a charming scowl and casually tossed a small wooden box toward him: “This is what the mad woman left for you. I haven’t looked inside, you check it.”

Pei Jinye voiced a word of thanks and opened the wooden box.

Inside lay three Spirit Grasses and a red Jade Stone—it couldn’t be anything but Flame Essence.

Pei Jinye smiled bitterly in his heart.

His senior sister probably couldn’t even imagine that he now had more than seventy pieces of Flame Essence, could she?

Who would believe it if this got out?

Ouyang Lianyi glanced at the contents of the wooden box and teased, “All are Spirit Grasses from several hundred years ago, seems like your senior sister treats you quite well, huh? And look, there’s Flame Essence too, that stuff isn’t cheap.”

Her eyes rolled.

It seemed like she was wondering where Lin Xiawei got all these things from.

Pei Jinye grabbed a Spirit Grass and bit off half directly, silently chewing.

The three attributes he had depleted just now were instantly replenished.

He was somewhat surprised.

“So to say, one Spirit Grass brings about 20 points to the attributes… All three attributes can be enhanced so much… and this is just from eating half.”

“Hiss, what a treasure!”

Pei Jinye immediately pretended to stuff the wooden box into his pocket, but in fact, he slipped it directly into the Storage Pendant.

“You’re wasting a blessing from the heavens,” Ouyang Lianyi said, shaking her head disapprovingly. “Aren’t you going to boil these into a potion to drink? Swallowing them raw, you have no idea how much spiritual essence will dissipate. That’s a huge loss.”

But having said that,

Suddenly, Ouyang Lianyi exclaimed in surprise, “That’s not right, there’s no spiritual essence dissipating from you. What kind of mental method are you cultivating? It’s so fierce?”

Regarding her question, Pei Jinye simply raised his head, showing an enigmatic smile.

“Stingy,” Ouyang Lianyi said with a look of disgust. “I haven’t asked you yet, where’s Song Que?”

“I don’t know, after we got separated, we lost contact. Didn’t he find you?” Pei Jinye looked over.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lianyi frowned and silently divined Song Que’s fortune, then cast the matter from her mind.

“What about my senior sister?” Pei Jinye pursued.

“Don’t talk about that heartless person. She threw that ghost thing, Huang Tiansheng, at me and then went looking for opportunities.” Ouyang Lianyi was indignant, “Don’t worry about her, there are really few in this place who can stop her.”

But Pei Jinye thought of that white-haired woman.

What rank was her combat power?

Sixth Rank? Seventh Rank? Eighth Rank?

It couldn’t possibly be Ninth Rank, could it?

“Let’s go.”

Ouyang Lianyi called out from the other side.

…

Pei Jinye hadn’t expected to come back to this place.

Ouyang Lianyi brought him back to the Magma Palace.

But now, half of the palace was ruins, the Fire Dragon was nowhere to be seen, and the previously boiling magma was now like a pool of dead water, although the scorching heat was hard to ignore.

The Huang Family and Lei Family were also there, but judging by their unsightly complexions, they didn’t seem to have found any treasure either.

“What are you all looking for in this place?” Pei Jinye asked in a low voice.

Ouyang Lianyi looked at him and said offhandedly, “It’s the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus we’re after. Legends say that after consuming it, one could control a kind of mystical fire. This thing is a legendary treasure, but judging by the looks of it, it seems like it doesn’t exist.”

Pei Jinye was slightly stunned.

It wasn’t the very Flame Lotus he had taken earlier, was it?

His heart raced for a moment.

Who knows what benefits he could reap if he consumed and merged it?

But…

Where was that Big Fire Dragon?

And what about that woman?

If he remembered correctly, that white-haired woman hadn’t even spared a glance at the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus, completely ignoring it.

How many people in this world could afford to overlook it like that?

Pei Jinye looked around.

Feeling no desire to linger,

He decided to hightail it out of there swiftly.

He found a feng shui treasure spot, confirmed it was safe, then quietly took out the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus.

He rubbed his hands together.

“Refining!”

Beneath the operation of” Mixed Yuan Twelve Lotuses “, the two and a half Golden Lotuses above Pei Jinye’s head abruptly expanded in size.

Luckily for Pei Jinye, the spot he chose was secluded enough, otherwise the commotion might have attracted a lot of attention.

The two and a half Golden Lotuses released countless golden filaments that enveloped the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus.

Pei Jinye truly felt the preciousness of the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus; it was nothing like refining those ordinary treasures he had come across before.

But precisely because of that, he was all the more serious.

He summoned the White Bone General and Ice General, on high alert.

He tossed out the Giant Stone Formation.

The exhaustion of his Vitality and spiritual power instantly diminished.

Then he began to furiously absorb the fiery glow from the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus with eight times the Fire Element.

It was thanks to Pei Jinye’s powerful spiritual power that he could sustain using a dozen different methods focused on refining this Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus.

“Boom!”

A sound like a shell breaking echoed through the air.

Pei Jinye distinctly perceived that his Fire Element… seemed to have evolved.

A new line appeared on the attribute panel.

[Fire Element Evolution]!
