Chapter 278: Volcanic Eruption!

Chapter 278: Volcanic Eruption!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

The reason the bow was half drawn even before the Sky Fire Spider appeared was to save time.

The position Hammer Zhao and the rest were hiding in was at least fifteen li away from the Sky Fire Spider’s position. No matter how fast the arrow traveled, it would require some time to cover such a distance!

If the arrow was released late, the few seconds’ difference might be enough for the creature to get away!

The Sky Fire Spider leapt out of the dense forestry and darted forward at an extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, it had already sunk its sharp mandibles into Yi Bai Chuan’s skull and began sucking his blood and flesh.

As it feasted, it suddenly felt the approach of a speeding arrow. However, it was also unwilling to drop the food in its mouth. In that moment, it hesitated momentarily.

“Dang!”

The dark green arrow streaked across the sky and impacted heavily against a rock!

As soon as the God Slaying Pearl crashed against the rock, the Yin Yang patterns on the side began to spin and glow!

The God Slaying Pearl was made up of two sides, one Yin and one Yang. The two sides were normally calm and separated from each other. But once it suffered the impact of over ten units of force, it will turn volatile and explode within three seconds!

The Sky Fire Spider immediately discovered the immense threat posed by this glowing pearl. In that moment, it did not hesitate to sprint off with all eight of its legs. In an instant, it broke through the sound barrier and reached a supersonic speed of over three times the speed of sound! Its figure turned into a mere afterimage as it shot off into the distance!

What kind of speed was three times the speed of sound? One second was enough for it to escape a thousand meters away!

Two seconds later, the Sky Fire Spider had already escaped 2000 meters away. However, the shadow of death had not disappeared. Instead, it grew more terrifying!

“Ji!”

The Sky Fire Spider cried out in alarm. A crimson flame enveloped its body as it suddenly accelerated to four times the speed of sound, and then five times the speed of sound!

Right now, the Sky Fire Spider had already reached the 4000 meter mark within three seconds! It only needed one more second before it could escape the blast range of the God Slaying Pearl!

“Po!”

A light sound rang out in the quiet air before a gray light instantly appeared over a ten li area!

The Sky Fire Spider who was fleeing madly a moment ago suddenly stopped, as if it had been frozen in place!

A light wind blew past, and everything within ten li vanished like magic!

A gigantic crater ten li in size now stood in place of the original land, and over half of the volcano had disappeared!

In the center of the crater was a 100-meter-wide hole which led directly to the heart of the volcano. Through the hole, it was possible to see lava flowing below!

Waves of hot gases rose out of the hole steadily, growing more and more copious as time passed. In a short moment, the volcano began to shake lightly. As everyone was still in a state of shock after witnessing the destructive might of the God Slaying Pearl, no one noticed the slight tremor.

The Sky Fire Spider’s beautiful carapace was broken in many areas, and was filled with countless cracks!

Although the Sky Fire Spider’s carapace was hard to a point of being shocking and did not completely break despite being hit by the terrifying explosion, its body was not as hard as its shell. Its insides had already been reduced to mush by the blast!

“Haha! Fantastic! The Sky Fire Spider is in our hands!”

Hammer Zhao stood up and laughed madly.

“Quick, collect the Sky Fire Spider’s body and leave this planet! Such a violent energy fluctuation will definitely be detected!”

The curvaceous woman also stood up and spat out a mouthful of turbid air. The arrow that shot over such a distance had drained her greatly.

“Hm? Did I use up too much energy? Why do I feel so giddy?” the curvaceous lady said as she felt her body stagger slightly. She nearly fell down again.

“Wait! This is a hallucinogenic solution!”

She suddenly noticed that the others also looked a little giddy and immediately realized the situation. With a loud shout, she quickly roused her blood and Qi energy and fled without hesitation!

“Haha, thank you all for your trouble! You can leave your future road for me to tread. You guys can just stay and enjoy this scenic planet!”

Hammer Zhao smiled widely, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.

A bloody dagger flashed past the neck of one of the people slumped on the ground.

“Pu!”

“Impossible! How could you be completely fine?!”

Just as Hammer Zhao was prepared to slice through the throat of one of the youth on the ground, that youth suddenly erupted with strength!

One of his hands morphed into a claw which directly tore through Hammer Zhao’s dantian!

“Hmph, while you were scheming against us, I was also scheming against you! This is the Alchemist Azure Fire! If I managed to obtain it, I would only need three years to break through to a higher realm! Even joining the Sacred Empire military would not be impossible. Why should we hand the Alchemist Azure Fire over?”

The youth sneered coldly. Without a second word, he sent a palm blasting straight down on Hammer Zhao’s head. With the amount of effort needed to swallow a mouthful of saliva, he completely crushed Hammer Zhao’s head!

During the time it took for the events to unfold, a crystalline transparent line had descended from the sky and landed not far from the Sky Fire Spider’s body.

The youth looked disdainfully at the other two who were still alive and ignored them. In his eyes, they were already dead. Since they were not going anywhere, he decided to head for the Sky Fire Spider’s body first.

At the same time, a bright red light suddenly appeared at the heart of the crater where the God Slaying Pearl had exploded!

A pillar of intense heat and lava suddenly emerged from the hole with frightening momentum, shooting high into the sky!

“Dammit! Isn’t this an extinct volcano? How come it can still erupt?!”

The youth’s expression changed drastically. Without further hesitation, he raised his speed to the limit and rushed towards the Sky Fire Spider’s body!

“Boom!”

The volcano began to shake violently. The gigantic lake at the mouth of the volcano also began to boil as a huge whirlpool appeared in its center. An immense amount of water flooded into the lava river beneath the volcano!

But not only did the water not stop the lava, it made it more volatile!

This volcano had not erupted in tens of thousands of years. If there was no accident, it would stay that way!

But the powerful blast caused by the God Slaying Pearl had triggered some parts of the dormant lava lake beneath the volcano, causing a chain reaction to occur. At the same time, it had created an outlet for the lava. With the appearance of the hole, the lava which had been suppressed beneath the volcano for so many years finally had an outlet to rush out of!

The large amounts of water added into the lava lake had immediately been boiled into water vapor. In an instant, the volcano turned into a huge pressure cooker. The small hole created by the blast was no longer sufficient to contain the building force!

Very quickly, the temperature on the surface of the volcano rose incredibly. The ground began to dry and crack at an alarming rate before splitting apart.

Under the deep scars on the ground, one could already see the a blanket of crimson!

“Huh? This is… the mouth of an erupting volcano?!”

Bei Feng’s eyebrows twitched violently as he hurriedly reeled in the line.

He did not dare to guarantee that the line would remain undamaged if it was soaked in lava. In any case, volcanic eruptions were usually accompanied by massive thunder clouds!

The destructive might of hundreds of thousands to a million degrees of heat mixed with the might of lightning was not something he was willing to bet the fishing line’s sturdiness against!

Huge clouds of ash were being spat out into the air, causing the entire volcano to turn dark as it became enveloped by the thick ash cloud!

“The Sky Fire Spider is mine!”

The youth had finally managed to get close to the Sky Fire Spider’s body. He was not even ten meters away from it!

“Boom!”

The distance of ten meters which usually only took him the time it takes to flick a finger to traverse seemed as far as the distance between the heavens and the earth at this moment!

A burst of lava appeared before him, spraying high into the sky!

The intense heat instantly caused a burning smell to rise up from all the hair on his body!

“NO!!!” The youth let out a wretched scream of despair. He had planned and schemed perfectly to obtain the last laugh. But in the end, he had still missed by a single breath!
