The Hunted Hunter
Chapter 236. Finding the Core of Fire
Ma Guang began to enter the cave by paying close attention to his surroundings.
After stepping tens of meters away, the young man had already started to see some plants that were emitting heat energy that was extremely useful to a fire element cultivator like himself.
The plant is a live mushroom due to the presence of the heavenly fire phoenix that has lived in the cave for a long time.
The age of the plant is also diverse, some are decades, hundreds of years old and some are thousands of years old.
For Ma Guang's current cultivation level, it was indeed a resource that was no longer beneficial for him to increase his cultivation.
But it still remains useful to provide energy for the strength of his body.
But those resources were very useful for low-level cultivators, so Ma Guang still harvested those plants that were hundreds to thousands of years old.
The young man continued walking down the cave hole.
When he had walked for hundreds of meters to the core of the island, Ma Guang was directly in a room that was about fifty thousand square meters wide and in the middle of the room there was a hot lava crater above two thousand degrees centigrade.
But what is more surprising Ma Guang is, on the surface of the bubbling lava, there are ten black lotus flowers.
Ma Guang instantly released heat energy from his body and then darted away to retrieve the ten black lotuses that gave off an extremely powerful aura of heat energy.
When he grabbed one of the black lotuses, several tendrils appeared from the hot lava and immediately twisted the body of Ma Guang and immediately pulled it into the hot lava.
Ma Guang instantly activated his protective formation and grabbed his divine heirloom sword and immediately started slashing the tendrils.
Every time Ma Guang cut the tendrils, other tendrils also immediately appeared and replaced the broken ones.
Moments later after putting up a fight, Ma Guang's body began to sink into the hot lava.
The young man instantly released his Qi energy to increase the strength of his protective formation.
When the young man's body began to sink deeper, the heat energy from the bottom of the crater felt stronger.
Until finally the young man's eyes could see a fire that was black and round in shape as big as a ball of casti was floating.
And it turned out that the tendrils came from the black fireball.
Because Ma Guang had remembered a lot of knowledge from the heavenly fire dragon king, so he immediately knew what he saw.
"That's the core of fire! I must have it, so that My fire energy power will never run out when fighting for a long time." Mumbles Ma Guang.
Since his body had currently been wrapped around the tendril plant, Ma Guang instantly exerted the peak strength of the heavenly fire dragon king.
An enormous energy instantly shot out from within the young man's body, thus making the tendrils wrapped around his body instantly cut into pieces.
Ma Guang immediately moved towards the core of the fire to retrieve it.
Outside the cave, Jiangjun was patiently waiting for the return of Ma Guang.
But after a while later, the dragon general started to feel a sense of unease.
Jiangjun immediately shot up and entered the cave to catch up with Ma Guang.
When he entered the cave until he arrived at the room that had a lava crater in the middle, Jiangjun did not find the figure of Ma Guang in the room.
"Where is Pengusa!? Was he inside this lava crater!?." Jiangjun muttered in confusion.
"Ruler! Ruler! Where are you!?." Shouted Jiangjun calling Ma Guang.
When he began to look around the corners of the room if there were a formation of sowers over the protective formation as a way to enter a room again, the lava crater immediately churned.
Jiangjun immediately returned to the crater rim while sharpening his vision to trace the depth of the crater and what made the lava in the crater turbulent.
As the lava fluctuation calmed down, the energy of the heavenly fire dragon king could be felt instantly by Jiangjun.
"Ruler! The ruler!." Shouted Jiangjun again.
The dragon general was now in a situation of dilemma hearts and minds.
Because the heat from the lava can burn his body even though his skin is very difficult to be injured by a low-level god heirloom weapon.
In contrast to the fire phoenix, as their entire bodies were enveloped by the burning flames, so they could soak in the crater to increase the fire energy in their bodies.
"The ruler has a high cultivation level as well as has the strength of the heavenly fire dragon king, so his body can definitely withstand the hot energy of this lava, I better wait for him here, I will, if some time the ruler does not return, I will report this matter to His Majesty the King." Thought Jiangjun who immediately took the initiative to wait for Ma Guang at the edge of the crater.
While Ma Guang himself is currently taming the core of the fire at the bottom of this crater.
The young man immediately concentrated and exerted his soul power and directly absorbed the flame core to make his fire core.
The young man instantly absorbed the flame core and began to enter it into his sea of souls.
The heat energy on the surface of the crater is now starting to decline.
Jiangjun's feelings and thoughts that felt the change were immediately delighted.
"Is this done by the ruler!?." Thought Jiangjun.
And sure enough! After a few hours, the lava, which had been emitting heat energy above two thousand degrees Celsius, had now decreased by hundreds of degrees Celsius.
From within the crater now appeared a young man with an extremely powerful aura of heat energy and could burn anything nearby.
Jiangjun directly away from the edge of the crater so that his body does not burn.
Seeing the behavior of the creature, Ma Guang immediately reabsorbed the aura of heat energy and immediately pressed it so that his body temperature returned to normal.
After doing so, Ma Guang immediately grabbed the ten black lotuses that were on the surface of the lava and instantly stored them inside his storage space ring.
"General Jiangjun! Sorry for making you wait so long." Ma Guang said sincerely.
"The ruler need not apologize to the servant! For it is the duty of the servant to serve the Sovereign." Reply Jiangjun.
"All right! Then, I will harvest all the plants in this place even though they are very young, because the source of their lives I have taken." Said Ma Guang while harvesting all the resource crops that were in that place.
After a while later, Ma Guang had finally finished harvesting all the resources available.
"General Jiangjun! Before we leave this place, I want you to absorb the soul core as well as the gemstone of one of the subordinates of the fire phoenix king, so that your power can increase."
You will also be able to remove fire from all surfaces of Your body as one of the attacks that you can use for Your opponents."
Ma Guang instantly took out one of the soul cores as well as the gemstone belonging to the fire phoenix.
While he himself now returned to meditating to increase his cultivation level.
As great energy began to seep out from Jiangjun's body, Ma Guang immediately came out of the cave.
But after a while later, the burst of energy Ma Guang had thought of did not happen.
It was because Jiangjun's strength could not break through to be on par with the strength of the god king's swordsman.
Jiangjun's strength was now on par with a peak-level celestial god warrior who could slightly break through to become a god-king swordsman.
Being shackled by the rules of space and time, the strength of their race could not increase anymore.
After finishing absorbing the soul core and the fire phoenix gemstone, Jiangjun finally came out from within the cave.
"Ruler! Forgive me for making the ruler wait long." Jiangjun said as he exited the cave.
"Easy! If you are with Me, you should not be too concerned with Me!."
"Let's go! Take Ma Guang.
"Ruler! Where should we go!?." Jiangjun asked who on his back was now sitting Ma Guang.
"We go back to My sect in the Zhou empire, so that you may know where My sect is."
"I want to give this resource that I obtained to increase the strength of My sect members."
Said Ma Guang explaining to Jiangjun.
Jiangjun immediately shot away towards the direction that Ma Guang was pointing at.
