The underworld lava was over ten thousand degrees Celsius; it burned Qingfeng’s muscles with ‘crackling’ sounds as a green smoke rose off of his body as if he was being baked alive.
Qingfeng was in extreme pain as he quietly suffered through.
Suddenly, Dark Night Emperor’s voice rang inside Qingfeng’s mind, as he said, “Little Brat, this is a great opportunity. Let the lava flow into your body, it will refine your veins, muscles and organs. Then you can absorb all of the energy in the lava and your body will reach the saint realm.”
Qingfeng’s eyes lit up with joy after he heard Dark Night Emperor. How could he forget such an important thing?
His Mortal Purgatory Body claimed to be able to suppress even Hell as it could absorb all the flames, lightning, and lava in the realm. Naturally, he wouldn’t give up such a great opportunity.
Qingfeng activated his internal Mortal Purgatory Body that formed black light above his body. This black light rolled around nonstop, as it began to suck in the fiery force within the lava.
The fierce heat of the lava was incredibly massive as it contained tens of thousand degrees of high temperature. It was the deepest lava underneath the Fire Monarch Mountain, and it was also the reason why the Fire Monarch Mountain became the number one mountain in the continent. However, the energy now entered into Qingfeng’s body.
In the beginning, Qingfeng was in extreme pain, since his body was already heavily wounded, and even if he activated the Mortal Purgatory Body, he could only activate a small portion.
This lava was over ten thousand degrees as the hottest lava in the entire Crimson Fire Continent, and it was no less weak than the Golden Flame inside Qingfeng’s body. Thus, it wounded his body immensely.
However, Qingfeng knew that no matter how much more pain he suffered through, he must endure all of this, because he knew that if he failed to pass this round, then he would be doomed for sure.
Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss…
Intensely heated lava energy entered Qingfeng’s hair, skin, pores, muscles, and finally inside Qingfeng’s body, repairing his bones and healing his wounds.
Joy lit up on Qingfeng’s face just then, because he noticed that the lava had the ability to repair his physical wounds. Qingfeng recovered his wounds, while he absorbed massive amounts of the vital essence from this energy.
Splash, splash, splash…
Qingfeng’s body engulfed large amounts of lava from the underworld, as if his body was a bottomless pit.
After bits of the lava disappeared, the entire Fire Monarch Mountain lost some height. The hundred thousand kilometer tall Fire Monarch Mountain shortened by one thousand kilometers and became ninety-nine thousand kilometers tall.
The Crimson Fire Monarch’s face changed, as shock appeared in his eyes when he felt that the Fire Monarch Mountain was descending.
“What happened? The Fire Monarch Mountain had never sunk after it became the number mountain of Crimson Fire Continent a hundred thousand years ago. It would only ascend, why did it descend by one thousand meters all at once today?” mumbled the Crimson Fire Monarch, with confusion in his eyes.
The young saint messenger in the sky frowned slightly, as he looked lightly at the Crimson Fire Monarch beneath him, and said, “Did you not notice? Someone is sucking in the lava beneath your Fire Monarch Mountain. The rocks underneath the Fire Monarch Mountain formed this lava. They had absorbed great amounts of lava, and so naturally the Fire Monarch Mountain would sink.”
The Crimson Fire Monarch’s face massively changed after he heard the young Saint messenger’s explanation, as he realized the reason.
The Crimson Fire Monarch grew shocked in the next moment, “Could it be Qingfeng is sucking the lava energy? But how is it possible? I just slapped him deep into the ground, he might already have turned into a patty.”
The young saint messenger looked at the Crimson Fire Monarch beneath him and said, “Your saint attack may be powerful, but Qingfeng may not be dead yet. I just felt hints of his weak energy from the lowest points beneath the Fire Monarch Mountain, you should hurry up and check on him.”
The Crimson Fire Monarch’s face changed. He just reached the saint realm, and his powers weren’t very stable yet, so he wasn’t able to feel the life in Qingfeng.
Who knew the Saint messenger in the sky would be this powerful; he even knew that Qingfeng wasn’t dead yet even though he was at the bottom of the Fire Monarch Mountain. No wonder he was a master from a saint planet, he truly was too powerful.
The Crimson Fire Monarch said nothing, as he directly followed the Saint messenger’s orders. He turned into a whirlwind that quickly rushed underneath the Fire Monarch Mountain. He moved extremely fast, as he reached the Underworld in the blink of an eye.
When the Crimson Fire Monarch arrived several thousand meters below the ground, his face changed because he noticed that there was lava everywhere. The lava flowed around nonstop without an end.
The Crimson Fire Monarch said, “Oh no, I just shattered the lava river beneath the Fire Monarch Mountain, and now all the lava has flowed out. I’m afraid it will bring damage upon the Fire Monarch Mountain.”
The Fire Monarch Mountain had formed above a massive lava river in the underworld because it could provide an endless supply of lava and fire vital essence. That was why the self-cultivators on top of the Fire Monarch Mountain could train at such a great speed.
The Crimson Fire Monarch also absorbed massive amounts of fire vital essence inside the lava river, and so he was able to become the Crimson Fire Continent planet ruler. Now that he had reached the saint realm, the lava river beneath also contributed massively.
Suddenly the Crimson Fire Monarch’s face changed, because he felt hints of movement within the lava river, as if someone was training inside, absorbing the lava river nonstop.
The entire lava river around boiled nonstop like the waves of the sea. However, the massive rocks around the Fire Monarch Mountain melted, turning back into lava and disappearing.
The Crimson Fire Monarch finally realized the reason why the Fire Monarch Mountain had descended, as fury appeared on his face. “Damn Qingfeng, I didn’t kill you with one slap and you actually began training underneath. This is infuriating.”
The Crimson Fire Monarch suddenly waved his fist, as Saint Laws glowed above, and the Heavenly Dao chains appeared. He slapped heavily downwards onto the lava river, and with a massive ‘bang’ sound, a hole was punctured into the red lava river and red lava poured out everywhere. Finally, Qingfeng was revealed.
Qingfeng lied there quietly, as his whole body glowed with red light. This red light was the light of a Saint, as it pierced through his skin, muscles, bones, and organs.
Qingfeng had now already reached the Saint realm, and of course, his saint realm wasn’t from his spirit energy or understanding of laws, but rather it was his physique.
The Crimson Fire Monarch’s face changed when he saw that Qingfeng’s body glowed with Saint light, and said, “Saint-level physique, how is this possible? This is the first time I’ve met this.”
The Crimson Fire Monarch might have had reached the saint realm, but it was only his spirit energy and understanding of laws, while his real physical body had not yet reached the saint realm.
