Battle Through the Heavens: It turns out I'm actually the patriarch of the Xiao family!

Chapter 62 The Azure Lotus Erupts, Xiao Chen's Abnormal Physique

Xiao Chen was completely naked, immersed in the scorching lava. A huge bubble slowly rose beside him, and then burst with a bang.

Some lava splashed onto Xiao Chen's face, but it didn't even hurt a single hair on his head.

Apart from feeling a little hot, Xiao Chen was completely unaffected.

Xiao Chen turned around, looked at the huge two-headed fire spirit snake not far away, and laughed loudly: "Cute tool snake, let's go."

Hearing Xiao Chen's shout, the Fire Spirit Serpent ignored him completely, its huge head looking at Qing Lin. Only after Qing Lin nodded and gave the order did it reluctantly turn around and dive into the magma.

Looking at the fire spirit serpent that was creating ripples in the lava lake, Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly.

This two-headed fire serpent was quite stubborn; even though I had the strength to kill it, it remained defiant.

With a light breath, Xiao Chen plunged into the lava, closely following the Fire Spirit Serpent.

In the fiery red world of magma, undercurrents surge, and occasionally an extremely fierce stream of magma bursts forth from some unknown place.

These undercurrents contain enormous amounts of energy; if struck, even a Grand Master would be severely injured.

However, when this kind of thing bumped into Xiao Chen, it was just like a tickle.

In this fiery red world, there seem to be no other creatures besides the Fire Spirit Serpent.

As they continued to dive deeper into the seemingly endless lava, the surrounding temperature almost doubled.

But Xiao Chen wasn't afraid at all; instead, he swam even more happily.

Upon seeing this, the fire spirit snake ahead was also filled with surprise, so it accelerated and swam deeper into the cave.

It wants to see how long this human can hold out!

Soon, the surrounding fiery red lava turned slightly bluish.

Looking at the bluish-green lava around him, Xiao Chen shouted ahead, "Hey, can you hurry up?"

Upon hearing this, the latter turned its enormous head around, its two snake eyes filled with disbelief.

This human brat doesn't even have any protective aura, so why isn't he afraid of this terrifying heat?!

Although it didn't quite understand, it clearly took Xiao Chen's words to heart, and its descent speed suddenly increased dramatically.

Xiao Chen immediately followed.

After diving for another ten minutes or so, Xiao Chen's face lit up with joy.

Because he saw something bursting with a dazzling blue light.

Within that azure light, a blue lotus flower stood gracefully.

"It truly is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!"

At that moment, information about the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame immediately came to mind.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame ranks nineteenth on the list of extraordinary flames.

Born deep within the earth, tempered, fused, compressed, and sculpted countless times by the earth's fire —

It takes ten years to form a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus.

When it reaches its full potential, its color becomes bluish, and a cluster of bluish flames emerges from the lotus heart. This flame is called the Azure Lotus Flame, also known as the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

This fire is incredibly powerful; in areas near volcanoes, it can even trigger volcanic eruptions, creating a destructive force of nature!

"Hiss—" A sharp sound came from the giant mouth of the Fire Spirit Serpent beside them.

Xiao Chen turned around and saw that the enormous eyes of the tool snake were faintly filled with fear as it stared at the ball of blue light.

As if sensing Xiao Chen's approach, the cyan light began to flicker violently, seemingly in fear.

Xiao Chen flexed his wrists, pushed off the lava with his feet, and swam rapidly towards the area covered by the cyan light, like a small fish in a lake.

As his body drew closer to the cyan light, Xiao Chen could clearly feel the temperature around him suddenly surge.

But that still couldn't hurt him.

With another stomp of his foot, Xiao Chen's body finally plunged into the range of the cyan light.

The expected intense heat did not arrive as expected; instead, the temperature around me dropped strangely.

Xiao Chen was already mentally prepared, and his gaze fell on the blue lotus flower in the center.

The blue lotus flower has eight petals.

The green leaves are like the most perfect piece of jade.

Flawless, perfectly formed, crystal clear, it makes you want to keep it.

Inside the lotus, there appears to be a small lotus platform, about two or three feet in size.

Some of the holes on the lotus platform emitted specks of firefly light.

Those are lotus seeds formed from the purest fire-attribute energy.

Below the blue lotus are extremely long and thin roots, which are more than ten meters long.

The rootstock is covered with tiny tentacles.

As these tentacles swayed, Xiao Chen could clearly sense that they were frantically absorbing the violent fire-attribute energy from the surrounding magma.

Xiao Chen remembered that Yao Lao once said that if you were touched by those tentacles, your fighting spirit would be completely absorbed in the blink of an eye.

"It's really beautiful."

Xiao Chen sighed inwardly, marveling at how this wondrous object, a product of the very creation of heaven and earth, was truly dazzling and mesmerizing.

His figure slowly swam towards the blue lotus.

As Xiao Chen got closer to the blue lotus, he could feel its breathtaking beauty more and more.

Avoiding the roots and tendrils, Xiao Chen slowly approached the top of the green lotus and scanned it with his eyes.

In the center of the small lotus platform within the lotus flower, there was a hole the size of a fist.

Inside the hole, a wisp of liquid, resembling blue magma, was wriggling slightly.

"It really is still there—"

"The timing is perfect. The origin has been born, but there is no intelligence. The essence of the earth's core contained in the lotus seat has also reached its peak."

Xiao Chen stared at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame for a long time before taking out his jade sword, swimming towards the Azure Lotus, and gently making a cut at the part where the lotus base connects to the root.

At this moment, the blue liquid that had been gently undulating at the center of the lotus platform seemed to be under an unprecedented and enormous threat, and suddenly erupted.

boom!

The terrifying blue flames, like a sleeping, angry dragon awakened, suddenly shot into the sky!

The highly condensed flames were so intense that they instantly caused the temperature to soar to an alarming level, even causing the two-headed fire spirit snake to scream in pain and hastily flee.

The flames flickered wildly, coalescing into a majestic and furious phantom of a fiery azure dragon. Its head was ferocious, and it roared angrily as it charged madly toward Xiao Chen.

At the same time, the roots below seemed like enraged venomous snakes, thrashing wildly and lashing fiercely at Xiao Chen.

Visibly, the roots were frantically drawing power from the earth's magma veins, desperately attacking the intruders.

The surrounding calm magma was violently stirred up, and a huge magma vortex began to form rapidly around the blue lotus, with terrifying energy turbulence raging.

However, Xiao Chen's abnormal physique came into play at this moment.

His young and slender figure remained completely unmoved despite the frenzied attacks of the Azure Dragon phantom and the violent tearing of its roots.

Let you burn the heavens and boil the seas, I will remain as steadfast as a mountain.

Finally, with a flash of golden light, the perfect blue lotus, like a work of art, fell off.
