Chapter 187 - 187 Chaos Realm And Immunity To Fire
187 Chaos Realm And Immunity To Fire
On the ground and in the sky, two battles continued in all intensity.
Although Xu Yuan was physically present, he saw everything.
After he had fallen into the blue hole, he ended up in the belly of the mythical beast.
‘Hmm… is this what the inside of the mythical beast looks like?’
What appeared in front of his eyes was a space that was almost equivalent to a small world on its own. There was lava everywhere. The hot lava boiled and bubbled.
‘This should be the stomach acid of the beast…’
Xu Yuan was uncertain of everything he saw. The hot lava rolled up to him as though it sensed him there. The lava was like a huge wave about to crash onto him.
‘Tsk, tsk… This temperature is too high. Even metal will melt in here.’
Xu Yuan didn’t dodge. Instead, he activated Chaos Realm.
The Chaos Realm was a special skill. The ability was powerful, but it required a collection of twelve Elemental Hearts to use it to its full potential.
Elemental Hearts were actually Territory Cores, and Xu Yuan had collected a few of them already.
One of the cores he had collected was of the Fire Element. He activated it. Blazing flames engulfed his body. Xu Yuan closed his eyes. He looked like he was enjoying this.
He sighed in contentment. ‘The temperature is just right… it’s like a hot spring.’ Xu Yuan flew down and plunged into the lava.
In the Chaos Realm, activating an Elemental heart grants immunity to the user toward attacks of that particular element. This was what made Xu Yuan immune to the lava.
‘What a pity! The last three Elemental Hearts are so difficult to find!’ Xu Yuan soaked in the lava. The thought made him a little disappointed.
At this moment, twelve energy balls appeared behind him. Xu Yuan needed twelve Elemental Hearts in total. The nine major elements were easy to find. Even the Elemental Hydra had managed to master nine elements.
The three final elements were difficult to find. They were time, space, and fate.
Xu Yuan was thinking of where he could get those three Elemental Hearts.
The pillars that erupted from the lava flashed. The pillars were engraved with mysterious symbols. The symbols flashed.
“Eh?” What’s that? It’s so bright that it is disturbing my hot spring bath!”
Xu Yuan was annoyed. The symbols flickered. It was like someone was shining a flashlight in his eyes.
Xu Yuan yawned. He wanted to sleep. He gently flapped his wings. Numerous blades shot out from the lava and flew toward the pillars.
The stone pillars were destroyed one after the other. For a moment, everything was quiet. A crack of light appeared. Lord Carla and the Thorn Fairy emerged from there.
“I didn’t know you were immune to fire. I miscalculated,” said Lord Carla, clearly displeased.
She had almost completely revived the mythical beast until Xu Yuan interrupted the spell-casting by destroying the pillars.
As a result, the mythical beast had continued sleeping.
Xu Yuan yawned. “So noisy… Can you just let me enjoy my hot spring bath?”
Xu Yuan’s behavior made Lord Carla even angrier. She wanted to rush forward and fight with him. However, she sensed danger from deep within her soul, which made her stop.
She knew that she was no match for Xu Yuan.
“Kill him!” she said to the Thorn Fairly.
Lord Carla knew she wasn’t strong enough to fight Xu Yuan herself, and she was scared of getting hurt. So, she asked her hero to do it.
The Thorn Fairy rolled her eyes at her Lord. “And how exactly do you expect me to do that in this kind of environment?”
The Thorn Fairy waved her hand and a vine appeared. But it was instantly burned by the high temperature.
Lord Carla was shocked. She didn’t know how to deal with Xu Yuan. She hadn’t thought it would be this hard to get him out when she had made the mythical beast swallow him.
She had assumed that the hot lava would digest Xu Yuan. However, she now saw he was immune to fire. He was rather enjoying his time here.
Lord Carla thought about how she could get Xu Yuan out. The Thorn Fairy’s ability wasn’t strong enough to withstand such high temperatures.
“Since you don’t want to leave, you can stay locked in here forever!”
Xu Yuan noticed that Lord Carla’s body was burning with flames. “Did you steal the power of the mythical beast?”
Xu Yuan had thought that the Lord had triggered the mythical beast’s power by awakening it, causing the earthquake. However, he looked at the Lord more carefully. She must have stolen the power of the mythical beast.
“Interesting!” said Xu Yuan. “A human shouldn’t have been able to withstand such power. The power far exceeds what a human body can handle. But you… are you mixed blood?”
Xu Yuan was now very interested in Lord Carla.
However, when Lord Carla heard this, she almost burst a vein in rage. It looked like he had struck a nerve there.
Lord Carla scowled, and the flames around her body burned brighter. It was as though she was going to erupt from all the rage.
Although Xu Yuan hadn’t been specific, the Thorn Fairy could guess that he meant to ask if Lord Carla was a mix between a human and a hero.
Relationships between Lords and heroes were common. They sometimes stayed together and produced offspring. There were many cases of Lords and heroes getting married and spending their lives together.
There was nothing strange about it, so Lord Carla didn’t need to be so angry. But she looked furious. It was as if it was an obstacle in her life that she couldn’t get rid of.
“Does this have to do something with you joining the Dark Screen?” asked Xu Yuan.
Lord Carla looked at him icily. “You vile black dragon, you know too much!”
X Yuan was indifferent to the anger and mockery in her voice. He closed his eyes again and immersed himself in the lava.
“I see,” said Xu Yuan. “You don’t want to face your past.”
“Shut up!” exclaimed Lord Carla in rage. She was trembling.
The Thorn Fairy tried to comfort her Lord. “Carla, don’t fall for his trap. He is just trying to get under your skin. He doesn’t know anything.”
The Thorn Fairy was earnest. She was Lord Carla’s Initial hero, and even she was unaware of her Lord’s past. How could a complete outsider have any idea of it?
She was sure Xu Yuan was good at observing people and was deliberately trying to provoke Carla.
