While everyone was flabbergasted, every little detail of the slash was being replayed in Lin Xun’s mind.
His attack was filled with the determination to test the power of the Extreme Word Inheritance. Thus, he unleashed all his strength without any reservation.
As such, he had activated Yazi’s Rage, Sacred Combat Art and the Water Dao Law to their full majesty.
Thinking back, Lin Xun realized that the attack, without the help of the Extreme Word Inheritance, could at most kill around forty fire warriors.
In other words, the Extreme Word Inheritance raised the power of the Broken Blade by at least twenty percent!
A millimeter miss was as good as a thousand miles. The twenty percent difference in power could allow an expert such as Lin Xun to display destructive power beyond imagination in battle.
However…
It would also exhaust him!
A single blow consumed one-third of his energy.
This meant that, for now, the Extreme Word Inheritance could only be used as a trump card.
“You passed.”
Very quickly, the fire warriors were restored. As they were transformed from law power, they were impossible to kill and would live as long as the law power did.
Everyone suddenly perked up from the trance-like state and simultaneously turned to stare at the raging volcano in the distance.
Countless Origin Dao Fires were spewing out from the volcano, each taking on different forms.
“Which type of Origin Dao Fire you subdue depends on your ability,” stated the leader of the fire warriors.
Nodding, Lin Xun abruptly asked, “How many can I obtain?”
His question took the fire warrior aback for a moment before he answered him indifferently, “There is no limit, but you should know that the slightest carelessness while absorbing an Origin Dao Fire could lead to both your body and spirit being destroyed.”
In order words, although many Dao Fires existed, it was not easy to obtain them and it came with a risk, so you better act within your ability.
Lin Xun dismissed it with a chuckle.
Swoosh!
Without any wavering, he darted into the air.
Rumble—
The volcano burst into life, sending thousands of fires blasting into the air and incinerating everything it touched.
Only when one stood close to the volcano would they truly understand the terror of this place. The air was saturated with the aura of destruction.
Chi!
A beam of indigo fire that resembled a spear thrust into the air, approaching Lin Xun with ferocious speed.
It was an Origin Dao Fire. The slightest contact would torch his body and incinerate his spirit. It was truly terrifying.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Xun lightly sidestepped and continued to move forward.
His eyes darted across the void. In the crater, he saw a group of roaring Origin Dao Fires. There were at least hundreds or even thousands of them like a cluster of stars swaying with long glowing tails of magnificent light behind them.
Anyone who saw them would want to absorb them all one by one.
Lin Xun was the same, but he knew very well that each Origin Dao Fire contained an intense aura of destruction, so he had to act with caution.
Otherwise, even if he got his hands on the fortune, he would meet with disaster!
Stirring up his strength, he moved forward with the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, constantly checking and scanning the surroundings like a seasoned hunter looking for his prey.
During the process, Origin Dao Fires roamed all over the place like divine rainbows, attacking Lin Xun from time to time as though pushing him back from approaching.
In the distance, Ji Xingyao and the others tensed up and held their breath in concentration. Lin Xun’s situation was extremely dangerous!
Origin Dao Fire could only be controlled by a cultivator once it surrendered. Before that, it was a ball of frightening and boundless power.
Given Lin Xun’s strength, he should be able to subdue more than one Origin Dao Fire, but so far, he had yet to make a move and was only inching closer and closer to the crater.
Hundreds and thousands of Origin Dao Fires were dancing around the crater, which was comparable to a deadly disaster. The slightest contact with them could lead to a miserable end to one’s life!
“He…what is he trying to do?”
Many people were perplexed.
If it were them, then they would have already taken action and first subdued an Origin Dao Fire. After all, they were playing with fire, and it would be best if they could reap the benefits and escape as soon as possible.
But Lin Xun had other ideas.
Gradually, he arrived at the crater. He had already activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step to its limit, maneuvering around the volcano like an illusory and flickering stream of light.
This was because the moment he slowed down, he could be drowned by the many Dao Fires.
“Why is there no Alpha Dao Fire?” Lin Xun frowned.
He had been searching for a long time, but he couldn’t find the Dao Fire he wanted.
Alpha Dao Fire was the highest grade fire of all Origin Dao Fire and thus could only be encountered serendipitously.
Compared with ordinary Origin Dao Fire, Alpha Dao Fire possessed a unique spiritual intelligence, like it could communicate with the spirit.
According to rumors, some Alpha Dao Fires could give birth to real dao runes!
Lin Xun looked down at the volcanic crater.
The area was blindingly bright, with firelight rolling like waves and spikes of color dancing all over the place.
Huh?
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.
An extremely magical Dao Fire had just flickered past him. Shaped like a white jade book, it left streaks of brightness that transformed into fluttering pages of scriptures. It was a magnificent scene!
Seeing a Dao Fire that had taken the form of a scripture book stunned Lin Xun into disbelief.
Although he had never seen something like that, his intuition told him that it was undeniably an Alpha Dao Fire!
Swoosh!
Before long, another Dao Fire flashed, attracting Lin Xun’s attention.
It transformed into a five-colored deer, magnificent and beautiful like it was real. With a high-pitched bleating, it gracefully trotted across a sea of fire.
Unfortunately, it was only a fleeting vision.
Even so, Lin Xun couldn’t calm down because it was another Alpha Dao Fire!
After taking a deep breath, Lin Xun’s dark eyes flashed and his expression flickered. It was as though he was hesitating.
“No! Is Brother Lin planning to enter the volcano?” Zhen Yunfeng gasped.
The others also felt their hearts jumping into their throats. Demon God Lin is too gutsy! He has dismissed so many Origin Dao Fires and is planning to explore the bottom of the volcano!
“What’s wrong with that? There’s only one chance like this. If it were me, I also would want to seek a fortune I am most satisfied with!” Toady said irritably as though unhappy that everyone was acting as if Lin Xun was about to die.
“That’s not what we meant. We are just worried about the safety of Fellow Cultivator Lin Xun. After all, if something unfortunate happens, then...” Yin Xue did not finish her sentence.
But everyone knew what she meant. Indeed, it was too risky!
But the situation did not change. Under their anxious gazes, Lin Xun dove into the volcano.
Toady instantly fell silent and his chest tightened. He couldn’t help but worry about Lin Xun.
……
Rumble!
Waves of fire roared like thunder, producing scorching temperatures and smoke plumes.
Hot!
Unbearably hot!
The moment Lin Xun rushed into the volcano, he thought he was about to melt. Even if he circulated all his cultivation, his skin and flesh still ached with a burning sensation.
But he gritted his teeth and bore it.
The more heaven-defying a fortune was, the greater the danger.
Lin Xun was aware of this better than anyone else.
He was not acting recklessly. If he ran into any deadly danger, then he would definitely retreat as soon as possible.
Swoosh!
A scroll-like purple fire swept across the air, rolling open like a nation of fire being revealed. Within it were inscriptions of mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, birds and insects!
The painting itself was like a world!
And this was just a vision formed by a Dao Fire.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnquestionably, it was also an Alpha Dao Fire!
Although tempted, Lin Xun did not dare to act rashly. He had to activate all his own strength to barely just dispel the ubiquitous destructive aura in the air.
He continued to move downwards.
Ten feet.
Thirty feet.
Fifty feet.
He started to feel that he was exhaling smoke from his mouth and nostrils, and his spirit seemed to be sinking into a sea of fire. He could not bear the blazing power much longer.
At that moment, he witnessed an incredible scene on the lake surface.
In the turbulent sea of fire, a cauldron stood motionlessly and quietly.
Additionally, a white jade book, a five-colored deer, a purple scroll, a golden lamp and a black ruler were fluttering around the cauldron.
Those were all Alpha Dao Fire!
But they circled the cauldron like guardians, each displaying their magical abilities!
Lin Xun’s expression tensed, and a stormy wave reared up in his heart.
Origin Dao Fire was almost extinct in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, so all king stage cultivators dreamt of possessing such a treasure.
As for the Alpha Dao Fire, it was something that could only be encountered but not sought. It was a truly great blessing.
But at the bottom of the volcano was a total of five Alpha Dao Fire!
The most incredible thing was that they seemed to be guarding the cauldron!
Even Saints in the world would be amazed by this scene.
Fighting to remain calm, Lin Xun fixed his gaze on the cauldron.
As he studied it closer, a familiar feeling came to his mind, and then it struck him that he had seen the cauldron in front of the stone tower!
At that time, he had examined the stone tower with his spirit sense and saw a completely different scene.
Everything between heaven and earth had been obliterated, and only a furnace continued to burn fiercely. The sky, the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars were all incinerated into nothing.
The traces of time and the trajectory of space also seemed to no longer exist.
The cauldron was akin to the only constant in the world!
But now, Lin Xun realized that he saw not an illusion, but a reality. The cauldron was hidden at the bottom of the volcano.
Moreover, after some observations, Lin Xun made a shocking discovery. The cauldron was actually transformed by a Dao Fire!
Unbelievable!
They were all Dao Fires, but the Alpha Dao Fires surrounded and protected the cauldron like its guards, which further proved that the cauldron dao fire had to be extraordinary and magical.
Everything indicated that the Cauldron Dao Fire was at least at the level of the Alpha Dao Fire, or even more remarkable!
