Chapter 177 Lava Earth Dragon, Immortal
Yan and the Demon-Subduing Douluo looked at each other, shock flashing in each other's eyes.
The wonders of this underground world far exceeded their imagination and further stimulated their determination to explore.
"That soul beast is still here."
After the Demon Subduing Douluo finished speaking, he looked carefully at everything around him.
The closer you are to your target, the greater the danger you may encounter.
Yan's eyes were as sharp as torches, feeling the hot and powerful aura around him.
"Grandpa Jiangmo, can you still bear the temperature here?"
"Well, luckily I absorbed the magic herb you gave me."
"Then let's go ahead and find it as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's go!"
The two walked carefully along the bank of the underground lava river.
The occasional waves of fire leaping up from the lava river roared like a giant dragon, trying to devour any living creature that dared to approach.
The harsh surrounding environment did not shake their determination in the slightest, but instead added to their fighting spirit.
Following the direction of the soul power fluctuations, the two continued to move forward.
Just as they were approaching a cave entrance that looked even more hidden, a burst of rapid and shrill hissing sounds suddenly rang out from the shadows surrounding the cave.
Immediately afterwards, a group of soul beasts covered in fiery red scales and with eyes flashing faint red light suddenly rushed out and surrounded the two of them.
"It's a fire lizard!"
The Earth Fire Lizard is a dual-attribute soul beast of fire and earth, and most of them live in high-temperature areas.
These earth fire lizards are two meters long and look more terrifying than the lizard-like soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest.
They exude the scent of burning flames all over their bodies, obviously the product of living in this extreme environment for a long time.
There are a total of more than a dozen earth fire lizards in this group, and their cultivation levels are all below ten thousand years.
Facing the two human soul masters, they opened their big mouths full of sharp teeth, let out threatening growls, with greedy and murderous gleams in their eyes, as if they wanted to tear the two people in front of them to pieces.
"Be careful, the Earth Fire Lizards are social spirit beasts, there may be more behind."
The Demon-Subduing Douluo reminded in a low voice, and at the same time released his own soul power and clenched the Panlong Stick in his hand.
The group of ground fire lizards suddenly launched an attack and rushed towards the two of them.
These fire-attributed soul beasts surprised Yan. The soul power in his body boiled and he launched a counterattack without hesitation.
The gravity field was quietly exerted, trapping the few ground fire lizards that were in the front.
At the same time, a black and gold flame vortex suddenly formed and spread all around, enveloping them all.
The fire lizards tried to resist.
But the flames spewed out of their mouths had no effect. When they touched the black and gold virtual fire, they instantly merged into one.
Seeing their companions trapped, the other ground fire lizards quickly adjusted their formation and did not approach the two.
Suddenly, another group of ground fire lizards emerged.
This time the number is even greater.
They spewed columns of hot magma at the two from all directions, trying to drown them.
Facing this sudden attack, Demon Subduing Douluo demonstrated his powerful strength as a Titled Douluo.
His body flashed, and he appeared behind several earth fire lizards as if he had teleported. He swung out a stick, pressing down like a mountain, and directly beat the lizards into a bloody mess.
Then, it attacked the lizards in other directions.
Yan was encouraged upon seeing this, and took the opportunity to trap a few more ground fire lizards.
Gradually, the number of ground fire lizards began to decrease, and their momentum also obviously weakened.
The remaining lizards jumped into the boiling magma and took the opportunity to escape.
When the surroundings became quiet again, more than a dozen ground fire lizards had been completely devoured.
Although there were many ground fire lizards, they did not pose any threat to the two.
However, after fighting with it, some time was wasted.
The two moved on.
When we came to an empty riverbed, we encountered another group of ground fire lizards.
These hundreds of earth fire lizards not only far outnumbered the previous time, but their individual strength was also significantly enhanced. Their flames were more intense and their scales were harder. They were obviously powerful creatures bred in this extreme environment.
"Grandpa Jiangmo, let's end the battle here as soon as possible."
Yan knew that the longer he stayed here, the greater the consumption of the Demon-Subduing Douluo would be, so he had to find the target soul beast as soon as possible.
The group of ground fire lizards came like a tide.
Yan once again used the Gravity Field and Void Devouring Flame to trap some of the Earth Fire Lizards.
The Demon-Subduing Douluo also wielded the Panlong Stick and started fighting.
As time went by, when the last Earth Fire Lizard was killed by Demon Subduing Douluo with a stick, the entire battlefield returned to peace again.
In these two battles, Yan used the Void Devouring Flame to devour dozens of Earth Fire Lizards. He could clearly feel that his soul power had increased.
At this time, the Demon-Subduing Douluo's clothes were soaked with sweat, his face was red, and his whole body was steaming hot.
"Grandpa Jiangmo, how are you? Can you still bear it?"
"It's a little hot, but I can hold out for a while."
"We don't know how big this underground palace is. This is not a solution. If we encounter a group of lizards again, we should not fight with them. Let's go straight to find the soul beast."
"Well, that's what I meant."
The Demon-Subduing Douluo frowned.
Both of them felt that they were getting closer and closer to the soul beast.
As they continued to move forward, they encountered two more groups of ground fire lizards, but they did not engage in a fight with them. They just repelled them and continued to move forward.
Feeling the fluctuation of soul power surging like a tide, becoming stronger and stronger, the two looked at each other, their eyes flashing with irrepressible excitement and anticipation.
As the distance shortened, the surrounding scenery gradually became strange and magnificent.
The two came to an open area, which seemed like another world under the volcano.
The riverbed here is two hundred meters wide, with only a thin stream of lava flowing quietly beside it, forming a sharp contrast with the boiling lava river before, adding a bit of mystery and danger.
Just as the two were marveling at this strange sight, Yan's attention was suddenly attracted by something in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
About two hundred meters ahead, there stood a huge black crystal stone.
A faint dark light flowed on the surface of the black crystal, which was both mysterious and alluring.
On top of the black crystal stone, there lay a gigantic creature.
It is more than ten meters long, and its body surface is covered with a layer of hard lava shell, flashing a red light, as if hot magma can flow out at any time.
There are hundreds of sharp rock thorns densely growing on its back, each of which is extremely sharp.
Its limbs are extremely strong and muscular, as if they contain explosive power.
When the two looked at it carefully, they found that this huge creature was somewhat similar to a dragon in appearance.
At this moment, it was immersed in sleep, and its breath seemed to carry the breath of earth fire, and it did not notice the two people approaching quietly. The demon-subduing Douluo looked at the behemoth in front of him, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"It turned out to be a legendary lava earth dragon!"
"Lava Earth Dragon?"
Demon Subduing Douluo nodded and explained:
"Well, it should have evolved from a ground fire lizard with more than ten thousand years of cultivation. It has the dual attributes of fire and earth, which is a perfect match with your martial spirit. Such a huge size and nearly two hundred thousand years of cultivation is really unbelievable. I guess it must have mastered some unique cultivation method to reach such a level. We must be careful."
Just as the Demon Subduing Douluo finished his words, the originally peaceful space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and a hotter and more oppressive breath suddenly burst out from the lava dragon.
Its tightly closed huge eyes suddenly opened, like two burning flames, shooting straight at the two people, revealing majesty and anger that should not be underestimated.
"Roar--!"
A deafening dragon roar cut through the sky, and the huge body of the lava dragon began to tremble violently, like a volcano about to erupt.
The lava shell on its body suddenly turned redder, and magma-like liquid flowed slowly on its surface, releasing suffocating high temperatures.
Those sharp rock spikes seemed to be given life, swaying gently and flashing deadly hot light.
"Ready to fight!"
Faced with this sudden change, Demon Subduing Douluo and Yan reacted almost at the same time, releasing their respective martial spirits and spirit rings to prepare for the upcoming battle.
"Let me get to know it first!"
The Demon-Subduing Douluo let out a low roar, and his body suddenly jumped up, rushing towards the lava dragon like an arrow.
His golden Panlong stick drew a brilliant trajectory in the air, carrying terrifying power, and smashed hard into the lava dragon.
Faced with the sudden attack, the lava dragon did not retreat.
Its body shook violently, and hundreds of rock spikes shot towards the Demon Subduing Douluo like a dense rain of arrows. At the same time, it opened its huge mouth, and a ball of scorching flame gushed out, trying to devour him in the sea of fire.
The fourth soul ring on the Demon-Subduing Douluo suddenly lit up, and the dazzling light instantly enveloped him, and the fourth soul skill - Coiled Dragon Body Protection - was launched.
The golden Panlong stick spun rapidly in front of him, forming an impenetrable golden light curtain, like an indestructible shield, trying to resist the flames.
However, the flames of the lava dragon were beyond his imagination.
The flames actually condensed into a column of blazing magma in the air. The temperature was so high that it seemed to be able to melt everything in the world.
The column of magma penetrated the golden light curtain of Demon Subduing Douluo at lightning speed and headed straight for his chest.
"Grandpa Exorcist, be careful!"
At this critical moment, Yan stepped forward.
Along with the blossoming of the eighth soul ring, the one hundred thousand year soul skills Titan's Control and Gravity Field were activated at the same time.
But the strength of the lava dragon obviously exceeded their expectations.
In the gravity field, the gravity that should have slowed down everything had no effect on the magma column.
The Titan's sturdy defense seemed fragile under the impact of the hot magma and was eventually shattered.
In a hurry, Yan had to use the teleportation skill and retreat to a safe area a hundred meters away with the Demon-Subduing Douluo.
After they landed, both were still frightened.
Demon Subduing Douluo was even more shocked. Only then did he realize that his previous assessment of the strength of the Lava Earth Dragon was seriously underestimated.
The tentative attack just now did not gain any advantage, and the lava dragon even penetrated his defense.
"Boy, that guy is very powerful, you have to be careful."
"Ok, I know."
The red mist continuously emanating from the lava dragon made the space even hotter and more unbearable.
Yan has the power of the Fire Dragon King in his body and is not bothered by the hellfire, but the Demon Subduing Douluo seems to be struggling.
He was breathing heavily and sweat was pouring down his face, obviously trying his best to resist the high temperature around him.
Fortunately, he had taken the fire-attributed magical herb in advance, which allowed him to barely maintain his condition.
Otherwise, in such a harsh environment, he would have probably given up.
Yan stared at the lava dragon, thinking about how to deal with it.
"Grandpa Jiangmo, it has both fire and earth attributes like me, and the power of the earth attribute is definitely stronger than mine. It seems that I can only use the Void Devouring Flame, which has both the ultimate fire and darkness attributes, to deal with it."
"Then use this trick. I'll help you trap it. However, this is its territory, and it can maximize its advantages. So we must go all out to take it down!"
The Demon-Subduing Douluo has never been defeated in his life.
How could he be content without taking down this 200,000-year-old soul beast?
After seeing the strength of the lava earth dragon, the Demon Subduing Douluo was no longer careless. He directly released his weapon spirit's true form, and the Panlong Stick in his hand instantly expanded.
Yan also released his true form of the Fire Lord without hesitation, raising his attributes to the strongest.
At this moment, the ground around the two of them suddenly shook violently, and the ground beneath their feet turned into magma at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, the entire ground was covered by a layer of hot magma.
At the same time, accompanied by violent vibrations of the earth veins, a land of death was formed.
Yan had a bad feeling in his heart. This seemed to be the fire and earth fusion technique of the Lava Earth Dragon - Lava Field.
As the ultimate display of the dual attributes of fire and earth, any creature that enters this realm will face a double threat: the double blow of hellfire and the power of the earth.
What shocked Yan and Jiang Mo Douluo even more was that the seemingly indestructible lava dragon's body also changed, as if it had turned into flowing magma.
"It happened!"
Yan was suddenly shocked.
He guessed that if it was in magma form, the speed of the lava dragon would definitely be greatly improved.
Sure enough, the lava dragon swam towards Yan and the Demon-Subduing Douluo rapidly like flowing magma.
"Boy, get ready!"
The Demon Subduing Douluo let out a low roar, and unleashed his eighth soul skill, the Demon Subduing Dragon Circle.
As the seal was lifted, a giant red dragon rushed out from the demon-subduing stick, and its huge body quickly wrapped around the body of the lava dragon.
The Awakening Holy Golden Dragon has a suppressive effect on the lava earth dragons of the sub-dragon species.
With Yan's control of his mind, a vortex of black and gold flames roared out and quickly enveloped the body of the Longyan Earth Dragon.
Suddenly, an extremely powerful mental force rushed into Yan's mind, giving him a splitting headache.
"What a powerful spirit!"
"Hold on, kid!"
The Demon-Subduing Douluo tapped his forehead lightly, and a golden mental force shot out from between his eyebrows and went straight into Yan's forehead.
Yan's spirits were instantly boosted. Under the suppression of the Holy Golden Dragon of Tianxing, the Void Devouring Flame firmly locked onto the lava earth dragon, madly devouring its mental power and flames.
But just when the two thought they had completely suppressed the lava dragon, a strange scene appeared.
The body of the lava dragon turned into streams of flowing magma, which broke away from the gaps in the red dragon's body and merged seamlessly with the magma on the ground.
A dragon was looming in the boiling magma.
When Demon-Subduing Douluo saw this, his face changed drastically.
"What the hell is this? The broken body has been reunited. Could it be that this guy is immortal?!"
