Chapter 1003: Rainbow?
The Flesh and Blood Flame's power alone was already enough to protect them as they ventured into this volcano.
Now, with the added power of the Ethereal Flame, the fierce fire elements in the lava posed no threat at all.
The group was excited.
The previous volcano where they had obtained the Ethereal Flame had seemed inconspicuous, but this one was the tallest and most imposing of the surrounding ten.
"Be careful."
At this moment, Bai Suzhen's voice suddenly rang out from Su Jingzhen's shoulder.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen's expression immediately turned serious.
Bai Suzhen rarely spoke unless the situation was really serious.
"Suzhen, is there any danger ahead?"Su Jingzhen asked, his body instantly glowing with a golden light.
The Golden Dragon Scales materialized around him, and the phantom images of a dragon, a phoenix, and a turtle appeared.
He also activated the Immovable Tortoise Seal.
The Flesh and Blood Flame around him burned even more fiercely, providing additional protection for Ning Yao, Jian Ling, and the others.
Just as Su Jingzhen finished these preparations, the lava in front of him turned an eerie crimson red.
The already intense temperature became even more searing.
Su Jingzhen sensed a familiar aura - it was the same powerful flame that had risen from the barrier to resist Huo Huang and him when they first entered the Fire Elemental Secret Realm.
"That flame from earlier was at an incredibly high level, at least on par with the Luminous Crimson Gold Flame, if not slightly stronger. Could it be inside this volcano?"
Su Jingzhen's eyes lit up with excitement.
This flame was undoubtedly more powerful than the Ethereal Flame. If he could absorb it, it would significantly enhance his Flesh and Blood Flame.
"Be careful!"
Su Jingzhen warned Jian Ling, Han Ganxue, and the others.
Hearing his serious tone, the women immediately heightened their defenses to the maximum.
Ning Yao stayed close behind Su Jingzhen, doing her best not to become a burden as she was the weakest among them.
In the next moment, the crimson flame's power descended upon them.
In response, Su Jingzhen's Flesh and Blood Flame erupted, clashing against it.
However, without Huo Huang's support, Su Jingzhen seemed to be struggling a bit.
The outermost layer of the Immovable Tortoise Seal was instantly incinerated.
Su Jingzhen's expression became even more serious.
On his shoulder, Bai Suzhen's one-foot-long serpent body began to glow with a white light. She was ready to intervene at any moment.
Her voice echoed in Su Jingzhen's ear: "The current power of this flame is likely not its maximum. This is your opportunity."
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen was stunned for a moment.
Then, with a thought, he allowed the remaining Immovable Tortoise Seal to dissipate and retracted the Golden Dragon Scales.
He decided to face the crimson flame with his bare body.
"Flesh and Blood Flame, merge with me!"
The Flesh and Blood Flame burned at its peak intensity.
Su Jingzhen allowed the crimson flame to invade his body, initiating a fierce battle within.
The moment the flame entered his body, even someone as strong as him felt overwhelmed.
An excruciating pain spread throughout his entire being.
"Damn it, does my cultivation path really have to be this brutal?"
Su Jingzhen thought bitterly.
All the secret repositories within his body erupted at once, reigniting the tug-of-war he was all too familiar with.
However, before Su Jingzhen could fully absorb the crimson flame, the fire in front of him turned into a blazing orange.
The intensity of the flame seemed to have increased once again.
"What the..."
Unexpectedly, the orange flame also surged into Su Jingzhen's body.
The two flames interacted with each other, amplifying each other's power.
The pain Su Jingzhen felt intensified, reaching a level comparable to the aftermath of using Bloodthirst.
"Shengana!"
Su Jingzhen called to the elf behind him.
Shengana's expression shifted as she sensed Su Jingzhen's condition.
Without hesitation, she waved her emerald green staff, enveloping Su Jingzhen in a wave of healing energy brimming with vitality.
Since Su Jingzhen was actively absorbing the flames, the surrounding fire did not attack Shengana, Jian Ling, or the others.
"What's happening to Brother Su? It seems like he's absorbing those flames deliberately. Can he withstand it?"
Jian Ling and Han Ganxue exchanged worried glances.
Even though they knew that Su Jingzhen was adept at creating miracles, the sheer intensity of the flames made them anxious.
As Han Ganxue and the others watched, Shengana's healing energy began to take effect.
The excruciating pain eased to a level Su Jingzhen could bear, allowing him to better focus on the Flesh and Blood Flame cultivation method.
He worked to merge the crimson and orange flames into his own Flesh and Blood Flame.
During this process, the blood energy in Su Jingzhen's body was continuously purified and refined by the fierce battle between the Flesh and Blood Flame and the invading flames. His power surged wildly.
Su Jingzhen's heart stirred. He knew that this was an opportunity - a painful one, but a rewarding one.
However, he didn't stop moving forward with the women behind him.
A few breaths later, a fierce yellow flame also entered Su Jingzhen's body.
His expression became even more serious.
Behind him, Shengana, who had been providing healing energy, also looked grave.
Without hesitation, her consciousness entered the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and sought out the Elf Elder.
The Elder, seemingly aware of her purpose, lent her full power, which Shengana then channeled into her healing energy.
With this increased support, Shengana's healing power grew even stronger.
Despite the relentless onslaught of the flames, a strange balance was achieved.
In just a dozen breaths, Su Jingzhen's blood energy naturally rose to a higher level.
Su Jingzhen's spirit shook as his cultivation broke through to the seventh layer of the Body Venerable Realm.
This breakthrough was unexpected, but it filled him with excitement.
"If this is how it's going to be, then the pain doesn't matter anymore.
What if there are several high-level flames? Even if a rainbow of flames invades me, bring it on!"
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
As if in response to his words, a green flame surged toward him from ahead.
Red, orange, yellow, green... Was this going to be a rainbow of flames? Su Jingzhen felt like his words had just become a prophecy.
What do you think?
