Chapter 244 Holy crap! A lava start!

three days later

Ye Mingqiu sat cross-legged in his room, digesting his insights. His experience of operating in areas with high spiritual energy concentration had benefited him greatly. To maintain sufficient combat power in such places, he needed to master more refined techniques.

In addition, the natural cleansing effect of the high-energy-density environment quickly removed impurities from his body, allowing him to improve his attributes at the fastest speed if he had attribute-enhancing items.

Unfortunately, we had already used it all up.
[Note: Your weapon - Blood Spear - has successfully absorbed the Blood of Heaven, increasing its base attributes and granting it the additional skill trait - Suppression]

Attack power: 428-564 → 452-601
Durability cap: 1080 → 1120
Equipment requirements: Strength 1000, Agility 1000, Constitution 1000, Spirit 1000, Health 64800, Psionic Energy 32800.

↓

Strength 1200, Agility 1200, Constitution 1200, Spirit 1200, Life 99800, Psychic Energy 64800.

Skill Trait - Suppression (Passive): When actively releasing Blood Energy Suppression, the target suppressed by Blood Energy has all attributes reduced by 10% and all resistances reduced by 10%.

Derivative Passive - Mandatory Execution: Those without the [God] trait cannot be exempted from [Abnormal Status Resistance] or [Abnormal Status Resistance] abilities, and possess the [Unremovable] trait.

"The improvement effect is good."

Ye Mingqiu thought with a smile.

The increase in base attack and durability may not seem significant, but this is based on the premise that his Blood Spear has been upgraded to the Overlord level and its base attributes far exceed those of a normal Overlord level weapon. On this basis, such an improvement is actually quite good.

More importantly, after fully absorbing the Blood of Heaven, Blood Spear also gained a passive ability: Suppression.

The passive suppression effect is not strong, but it has a top-tier derivative passive, forced execution. You don't have to worry about it being directly resisted or cleared by abnormal status resistance. Moreover, the strength model of this forced execution should be quite good. Normal forced execution does not have the effect of "cannot be dispelled".

Furthermore, while powerful individuals possessing the [God] trait can resist this effect, they will still be more significantly affected by [Forced Execution], which will have an impact on the overall judgment in the Spirit Realm.

"The requirements for equipping the Blood Spear are getting higher and higher. With such terrifying attribute requirements, even a fourth-tier expert might not be able to equip and use it, right?"

Ye Mingqiu thought to himself.

The Blood Spear is not a conventional weapon; it is a top-tier weapon with a spirit. It cannot be used by an enemy, no matter how much stronger the enemy is, unless the Spear chooses to use it.

Its nature is special; even if it self-destructs into fragments, it will be fine. Anyone who tries to control it can only stare helplessly at the fragments. The attribute requirements are merely the extreme numbers that the Blood Spear displays to express its loyalty, and have no practical significance.

[Prompt: The spirit world has issued an urgent summons to you. Do you accept?]

The familiar summoning voice rang out, and a smile appeared on Ye Mingqiu's face. His world's normal cycle was still a long way from cooling down, and the emergency summoning could greatly accelerate the speed at which he improved his strength.

This is also the benefit of becoming the top of the Heavenly Ladder Ranking. Being ranked first in the Heavenly Ladder allows you to get more opportunities in the Spirit Realm and makes it easier to participate in emergency recruitment missions, thus accelerating your strength improvement.

I accept.

[Warning: The world of Hemoros has been attacked by a doomsday black tide, causing massive mutations in creatures and a series of terrifying disasters to occur. If the black tide crisis is not resolved, the world of Hemoros will soon disintegrate.]

what should I do?
Who to kill?
[Search for the source of the Black Tide, and use the world's original stones to construct a monument to suppress it, thus eliminating the cataclysmic crisis facing the world of Moros.]

it is good.

[Emergency mobilization approved]

[World teleportation initiated, destination: Moros]

After a brief teleportation, Ye Mingqiu's body was transferred. What woke him was not the notification sound from the spirit world, but a piercing pain. The burning sensation awakened his consciousness, causing him to subconsciously struggle and swim upwards.

Well.
What's going on?
After the teleportation was completed, Ye Mingqiu's consciousness quickly began to return, but he was still confused after the teleportation.

First, his sense of touch returned, and an unimaginable heat enveloped him from all sides. A heavy, sticky sensation washed over him, and the terrifying pressure seemed to be melting him into a solidified sculpture.

But Ye Mingqiu still struggled upwards until he successfully emerged and felt the cool air, which was different from the sticky, scorching heat.

"Ah~"

He opened his mouth and breathed, lava flowing from his nostrils.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sulfurous smell, strong enough to pierce the nostrils, rushed in. Ye Mingqiu suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene around him made him lose his composure.

red

A blinding red
At this very moment, he was immersed in a slowly flowing lava lake that occasionally bubbled up huge bubbles! The dark red lava, like the blood of hell, slowly writhed around him, with distorted and steaming hot air above him and the gray-black volcanic rock walls riddled with holes.

"magma?"

"How the hell did I end up in lava?"

"Isn't this an emergency recall?"

Ye Mingqiu couldn't help but curse inwardly; he had seen many different kinds of beginnings.

Emperors, ministers, commoners, prisoners, summons—but he'd never seen a magma start. Who would be teleported into magma right at the start of their game?! Would any other normal psychic survive that?
In other words, he has extremely high fire resistance, extremely high basic physical defense, ridiculously high health, and high damage reduction ability, which allows him to be immune to magma damage and successfully survive in the magma.

etc.
A bad thought suddenly occurred to Ye Mingqiu: since he was immune to the damage from magma, was magma a safe zone for him according to the Spirit Realm's standards?

To a normal person, starting with lava is a sure way to die. You'd be gone before you even have time to curse. But Ye Mingqiu is different. He's immune to lava damage and can even crawl out of the lava alive and kicking.

Therefore, from the perspective of the spirit world, ordinary magma is a safe zone for him and does not pose any threat to his survival.

For him, the lava start was much like the sinking into the sea start for everyone else.

If I'm not mistaken
Then
That won't happen again.
Will they still classify lava as a safe zone? And will the spirit realm also classify poisonous swamps as safe zones? After all, my resistance to abnormal statuses is very high.

High defense + high resistance = no health loss
High abnormal status = no negative effects
No negative effects + no health loss = completely fine

Magma = Safe Zone
What the hell!

This is a bit deceptive!
Just as Ye Mingqiu thought of this, he felt the magma beneath him suddenly surge upwards, and an immense force was pulling him down.

At the same time, a deep, rumbling sound, like the roar of a giant beast, emanated from inside the volcano. The rock walls trembled violently, and fine fragments of rock fell in a flurry, striking the surface of the lava and instantly turning into wisps of smoke.

Good guy!
This is an active volcano!
And it was a volcano about to erupt! Ye Mingqiu cursed under his breath and struggled to climb up the black rocky shore, but the process was quite difficult and troublesome.

Unlike water, magma possesses extraordinary viscosity, making each swing of Ye Mingqiu's arm and kick extremely difficult. At the same time, he felt a burning pain as he struggled, the clear pain connecting his skin to his brain, causing him to grimace.

Although he didn't lose blood, it was very hot and he felt a lot of pain. This kind of pain is similar to gua sha, which is pure pain without causing any harm.

Soon after, Ye Mingqiu finally reached the shore. He gripped the rough edges of the rocky shore with his fingers and then pulled himself up with a burst of strength.

"Pooh!"

He spat out a pool of lava, the scorching liquid burning the ground and emitting wisps of blue smoke.

"Boom!!~"

The next moment, a deafening roar exploded behind him!

An indescribable, terrifying force instantly tore the mountain apart. Crimson magma, mixed with massive amounts of volcanic ash and gas, shot into the sky like a world-destroying fire dragon that had broken free of its restraints!

The entire sky was instantly dyed dark red, and the violent shockwave slammed into Ye Mingqiu's back like a solid wall.

"."

Ye Mingqiu stood silently in place, feeling the burning sensation coming from his back, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

He couldn't believe he was so unlucky. The lava area shouldn't be a large part of the map, and even if he had a chance of randomly being drawn into the lava, it was unlikely he would be.

Not to mention that this is an erupting volcano!

This luck is absolutely incredible!
He glanced down at his clothes. His spirit realm equipment was unaffected, since the equipment he was wearing was of a very high level and couldn't be melted by ordinary lava. In particular, the Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor was enjoying the feeling of being bathed in lava.

But
His clothes from the real world were all burned away, so he changed his clothes and turned to look behind him at the erupting volcano.

The surrounding scene resembled the apocalypse, with scorching rock fragments raining down like a meteor shower, creating a dull thud, while massive amounts of molten lava spewed out from inside the volcano.

Hmm... no, that's not right!

This is not a naturally erupting volcano!

During the volcanic eruption, he sensed something unusual – fluctuations in energy. Having just been teleported out, Ye Mingqiu's consciousness and attention were not yet focused, so he didn't notice it immediately.

Now, he realized that the volcano was not something that existed under normal circumstances, but rather that it was an eruption caused by human intervention.

"Which bastard did this?!"

Ye Mingqiu roared angrily, his black hair danced wildly, and his terrifying scarlet aura surged instantly. His body rapidly grew in size, becoming a terrifying giant who was ten meters tall in an instant.

A ferocious tyrant descended, his gaze fixed on the dark waves beyond. Within those black tides, a gaunt, black-robed sorcerer raised his staff, unleashing a natural disaster spell that would cause a volcanic eruption, attempting to destroy the power of the human resistance in the world of Moros.

They attempted to instill fear through natural disasters, making humanity realize its own insignificance and the terror of the Kuroshio, thereby transforming it into a part of the Kuroshio.

But
A ferocious tyrant descended from the sky, falling like a blood-red meteor, stirring up a terrifying, pitch-black wave within the Black Tide.

A crimson spear appeared in his palm, blood crystal patterns spreading upwards along his arm. Crimson light danced in the black tide, easily slaughtering countless black tide lives. The enraged tyrant danced on the battlefield, wantonly unleashing his unique power.

Not far away, in a small town, a bard wearing white stockings and a green cloak smiled, gently plucking the strings of his lyre, and said to the tall man beside him:

"Long, long ago, there was a supreme tyrant in this world. He possessed terrifying power that could tear the sky and the earth apart. Even the strongest heroes and the most wicked demon kings dared not oppose him."

"Tyrants rule the world, but eventually fall into a slumber due to boredom. As he sleeps, the world gradually grows and changes in his sleep."

"Until a foolish Black Tide mage used a spell to activate a volcano, awakening the tyrant and causing him to revive and return to announce his return to the whole world, the tyrant's anger could only be extinguished with blood."

"An interesting story."

The man watched as the tyrants slaughtered each other, swarms of black tide monsters being wantonly slaughtered. What was a terrifying calamity in the eyes of ordinary people was like an ant that could be crushed at will in the eyes of the tyrants.

As a hero, he was proud of his great strength, but his strength seemed insignificant in the face of that tyrant.

So the hero turned and asked, "Since the tyrant's power is so great, can he defeat those monsters all by himself and completely eliminate the calamity?"

"No."

The bard shook his head and said, "The root of the Black Tide cannot be solved by power. It needs to be suppressed and sealed by the Primal Stone, otherwise the creations of the Black Tide will endlessly surge forth."

"But it seems he's almost finished killing them all, and those monsters haven't come back to life."

"what?"

The bard turned back blankly and looked towards the battlefield.

A burst of golden light, as dazzling as the blazing sun, erupted, and the divine power dispelled the darkness. Holy light flashed, and countless holy swords formed a rain of swords, completely annihilating the black tide life.

After a quick kill, Ye Mingqiu realized that the Black Tide wouldn't be killed outright; the darkness that died would quietly retreat and escape into the distance.

Therefore, Ye Mingqiu stopped using brute force and wielded the blood spear as a magic staff. Spells composed of divine power erupted one after another, and the power unique to the sequence played a miraculous role. The black tide, which could not be directly ended, was dispelled and killed by the spells of divine power.

His divine power seemed inexhaustible, unleashing spell after spell, and the terrifying divine magic annihilated the massive black tide in a short time.

The originally mindless and frenzied black tide creatures suddenly gained intelligence. They began to flee, they began to fear, they showed cowardice, and they were chased and killed by the tyrant's holy magic.

"This tyrant is also a mage?"

The hero's lips were dry, and his face was filled with disbelief as he tried to get an answer from the bard.

However, the bard was even more bewildered than he was. Looking at the tyrant on the battlefield, he muttered to himself, "I don't know. The prophecy didn't say anything. This tyrant seems ridiculously strong, but it seems like a good thing."

"Yes, the Black Tide isn't just this one wave. We still have a long road ahead. Hopefully, it can be an asset to us, and together we can save this world."

"That's what the hero said."
