With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 440 I borrowed the power of the entire volcano and the internal energy changed and ignited!

The lava pool bubbled and boiled like molten gold.

The moment Meng Chuan fell into the "water," crimson waves were splashed several meters high.

The impact scorched the rock face, causing large amounts of charred rock to fall in a flurry.

Meng Chuan's body sank straight down into the lava lake like a heavy weight.

He overlooked one crucial question: just how heavy was he right now?
It's no exaggeration to say that it's almost half the size of a city SUV.
The magma washed over the aura shield around him, causing small bubbles to rise with a "whoosh".

After sinking to the bottom, I felt a soft, slightly burning sensation on the soles of my feet.

This is a semi-solidified igneous rock layer.

Meng Chuan pushed off with his toes and burst out of the lava.

Then, breathing into the lungs, it barely floats on the surface.

He opened his eyes and looked around, feeling the burning sensation spreading throughout his limbs and bones that had been soaked in lava.

The temperature was indeed high; he estimated it to be at least 800 or 900 degrees Celsius, and possibly even over 1000.

"But thankfully, I can handle this temperature."

Gradually, he withdrew all his defensive measures.

He left only his inner energy swirling around his body, just in case.

The moment their bodies made direct contact, the magma gushed into his body through every pore.

His sensation of heat on his body surface further changed into burning.

Even with each breath, his lungs felt like they were working a bellows, and fire was spewing from his mouth and nose.

"Wow, that's really exciting!"

His skin was bright red, and lava meandered along the grooves of his muscles, creating a terrifying scene.

Gradually, Meng Chuan began to get used to the extreme heat.

I even did a backstroke in the lava, my back was enveloped in a sticky, gooey sensation, which was quite amazing.
Swimming in a lava lake can be considered unlocking a martial arts achievement.
After all, most martial artists don't have that much protective inner strength, so they certainly couldn't do what he did.
Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan's excitement subsided.

My body has also fully adapted to this extreme environment and I can get back to work.

Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, the originally warm internal energy became scalding hot, as if it were being altered by the influence of the lava lake.

A pale red aura rose around him, and golden, illusory flames ignited on the aura.

The two interacted and merged with the nearby magma, gradually becoming one.

Time passed slowly, and the entire lava lake became extremely oppressive.

The air became even more pungent, making it impossible for ordinary martial artists to breathe here.

This is how Meng Chuan used the volcanic environment to "borrow" the momentum to enter his own fire element.

It truly achieved a momentum as fierce as a raging fire.

Meng Chuan is still slowly changing his surroundings while maintaining his martial arts prowess.

Upon introspection, one can see that the Qi and blood transport the essence of "spiritual breath" from the external environment.

This then fills all the acupoints and celestial bodies, eventually converging at the spring of consciousness.

After staying in the lava for a while, Meng Chuan's body inexplicably felt comfortable.

"I'm already very used to this temperature. Next, I'll make good use of the magma to temper my sea of ​​consciousness, and then advance the [Boiling Flame]."

Nearly three hours later, he closed his eyes and exhaled softly, sparks involuntarily emerging from the corners of his mouth.

Unconverted, attribute-less internal energy flows through the meridians, warm as jade.

With just a slight stirring of the heart fire, the internal energy leaves the body and transforms into fire-attribute true energy.

It then transformed into a raging fire serpent, soaring into the sky and circling around the crater.

Meng Chuan tilted his head back and opened his mouth in the magma pool, and the fire serpent, under his control, immediately fell straight into his mouth.

He swallowed the burst of flames!
Then, a reddish light seemed to flow beneath the skin, gradually making the entire skin appear slightly reddish.

Immediately afterwards, he got up from the pool and walked to the shore.

Lava dripped continuously from his body onto the ground, scorching the rocky area around the crater and making it even more rugged.

With a slight tremor of his aura, the viscous lava clinging to his body scattered and flew in all directions, leaving his body spotless.

He looked inside his body and found his blood was burning hot.

A large amount of steam rose and dissipated from the pores of the shoulder blades, and the temperature of the body surface also rose rapidly.

Meng Chuan guessed that at this moment his skin was like a red-hot non-stick pan, hot enough to fry an egg.
While capturing fire-attribute spiritual energy from the volcano's crater to further enhance his cultivation of the boiling flames, he pondered in his heart:

"The second level of this method, when perfected, is called 'Blood Like Boiling Soup'."

"I've only just broken through this level, and my blood is already reacting like this; all of this is inseparable from the support of the magma environment."

The Xingyi School draws inspiration from nature to empower themselves.

Indeed, this is a profound saying from a factional standpoint!

At this moment, he only slightly circulated his internal energy, and his meridians emitted a roaring sound like molten lava surging.

Crimson-gold patterns appeared on the body's surface, which was extremely mysterious.

Looking inwards, at the spring of consciousness, faint arcs of electricity still flickered and rang.

At the same time, the faint steam that was originally emanating from the spring's source...

It has already progressed with this secret technique, transforming into something fiery.

Meng Chuan used his senses to touch it, and the warmth that had previously touched him had now turned scalding hot.

If one uses this to regulate the Qi of the Five Elements, the power of the Fire Element Fist will undoubtedly increase even further.

The other four genera also possess "high-temperature properties".

In this environment, he managed to circulate a trace of kidney essence.

Then, illusory waves swirled around the palm of the hand, and upon closer inspection, felt as warm as a geothermal hot spring.

Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Even the water elemental energy could be affected by the mutated internal energy.

As expected of Principal Sui, this is a top-tier secret technique he comprehended from his own signature fire-attribute divine skill.

That's incredibly powerful!

If it is a secret martial art, it is also divided into levels like other martial arts such as fist techniques and external martial arts.

He felt that the Boiling Flame was definitely top-tier, not much inferior to the [Dragon Meditation]. It was certainly stronger than the Golden Finger. He admitted he hadn't really recognized its value when he sought instruction from Principal Sui.
He withdrew all methods and continued to sense the changes within his body.

The internal energy continued to flow, and the temperature continued to rise.

It flows out from the spring and passes through the body.

In just a few minutes, the skin became hot and started to smoke.

The internal energy, once it permeates the body and transforms into true qi, is also extremely hot.

At this moment, he truly looked "burning with passion."
With a thought, Meng Chuan withdrew all his inner energy back to the spring.

The strange sensations throughout his body subsided.

He looked at the panel:
[Boiling Flame: Level 1 (86%) → Level 2 (30%)]

"I was just hoping to break through, but I didn't expect to gain so much extra proficiency. It's a pleasant surprise."

The magma pool played a crucial role in achieving such a significant improvement.

Meng Chuan experienced it again.

Gradually, I came to understand what the second-level perfect realm of "blood boiling like soup" truly was.

As I had thought before, the secret method and the special ability are somewhat similar.

Aside from martial arts techniques, they all involve further mutations in certain parts of the body.

Traits change the moment they are acquired.

The secret method, however, is like a gentle stream, subtly transforming the body as cultivation progresses.

When one cultivates the second level of Boiling Flame, one undergoes the next stage of transformation and modification of the internal energy in the spring.

It goes from slightly hot to scalding, and then affects the blood and qi like boiling water.

This means the completion of the second level of cultivation.

At this moment, his understanding of the [Boiling Flame] secret technique has become even more profound.

In layman's terms, it means greatly enhancing the power of fire-attribute martial arts.

It's simple, crude, and rather extreme.

Meng Chuan'ai learned this secret method.
He then gained further insight:

In Taoist terminology, I am now cultivating both Qi and Blood, as well as martial arts and the physical body.

Aside from physical training to enhance combat skills, using the Boiling Flame to boost one's combat prowess can also be seen as a way to preserve one's life.

Aside from not being killed by others, if you could strike first and kill someone with one punch.

This is also a form of cultivating one's destiny.
Coming to my senses, I saw the sky gradually darkening and the sun setting in the west.

He looked up and saw that the sea of ​​clouds, which was already somewhat reddish, was now even more vibrant under the glow of the setting sun.

Looking at the beautiful scenery, Meng Chuan was moved:
"Since descending Mount Hua, I haven't triggered the Dawn and Dusk Enlightenment event in a long time."

But in this situation today, he felt as if something inside him had been stirred.

Just about to move.

The support of the natural environment is also beneficial for sudden enlightenment.

He glanced at the panel.

Of all the martial arts techniques that benefit from the volcanic environment, the only one I currently possess is the [Molten Core Flame Burst Fist - Fragment].

"Let's fight it. If we can trigger an epiphany while doing so, we might as well complete the rest."

I've had this true martial art for a long time, and I'm almost at the peak of my skill without much practice.

It's really a bit frustrating not to break through the limits and get the special ability in one go.
Upon realizing this, Meng Chuan unleashed his imposing aura once more.

The flames, like fireflies, emerged from the body.

He then transformed, and the flames spread around him.

Near this crater, the fire element is present both above and below ground.

All of it transformed into a trickle of water, flowing into Meng Chuan's body.

Boxing!

A spark can start a prairie fire, lava can surge forth, and even the two techniques he had previously completed, culminating in the final return of the heart fire to its source.

With every move, he was like a king in fire.

Every punch and kick carries the power of the entire volcano, making them terrifyingly powerful and incredibly noisy.

If someone could spar with him right now, even a second-tier opponent wouldn't be enough.

It has to be a martial arts master, that's what makes it exciting!

Wherever the fist passed, the air twisted as if boiling.

The scenes before his eyes grew ever brighter with each punch and kick.

My mind raced, and a multitude of insights into this martial art came to mind.

Then it transforms into solid punches and kicks, which are permanently imprinted on the body through a certificate.

He practiced repeatedly, looking for flaws in his punches and filling in the gaps.

With the final move, everything became clear.

Through a sudden enlightenment, he conceived of using the wonders of the "Qi Observation Technique".

"Find a place where fire-attribute spiritual energy gathers in the air and try to detonate it remotely."

He then imitated the visualization method used when practicing the "Five Thunderbolts" meditation, focusing his mind and concentration.

The next moment, the volcano in my mind erupted!

With a single punch, it seemed as if only ashes remained in the world.

In an instant, a volcano in the real world
They were also provoked to erupt by Meng Chuan's actions.
The flames surged like an angry dragon, with countless pillars of fire shooting into the sky.

Lava surged forth, turning into a mudslide that flowed wildly along the mountainside, making the entire Haitang Mountain blindingly bright with fire.

The sky darkened instantly, and the air was filled with ash and dust, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

Meng Chuan stepped out, looking at the scene he had created, and muttered to himself:

"This attack, which detonates the fire elemental energy, is no less powerful than the ultimate skill [Sunset Strike] if it is under certain conditions."

Professor Li's original martial arts techniques definitely did not include this move.
