Free Web NovelChapter 1895: Chapter 1887: The Flame Giant Beast
In front.
A wall of flame stretched across the horizon.
From afar.
It was apparent that these flames were rising from the endless mountain range, reaching straight into the sky.
They seemed like the eruptions from a volcano, or perhaps fires that had been burning for thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years.
"If I get through these flames, I should be able to shake them off!"
Lin Tian glanced back at the dozen or so giant bats in relentless pursuit, muttering softly to himself.
At the same time.
The Samadhi True Fire was already swirling around him, tightly enveloping his entire body.
As for the flames ahead, Lin Tian had no clue about their nature.
To pass through them.
No one knew what dangers lay in wait!
Right now.
He was gravely injured, with his whole body aching as though breaking apart.
The internal organs felt like they were about to shatter.
Especially the crack in his Dantian, causing Lin Tian to feel uneasy.
But for now, he had to shake off those giant bats!
To pass through the flames ahead, having the protection of the Samadhi True Fire at least drastically reduced the danger.
Quickly.
Within just a few breaths.
Lin Tian, riding his Flying Sword, neared the flames stretching across the Land of Earth Cave.
Here.
The ground was all scorched black, with no vegetation or life apart from the flames.
Even the surrounding void seemed to vaguely ripple.
Within the flames.
Crackling sounds echoed continually.
Faintly visible deep within the burning mountains, magma churned.
As he flew close, Lin Tian felt a terrifying oppression, sending shivers down his spine.
Looking back.
He saw those giant bats halted nearby.
They seemed to fear the flames, not daring to approach.
This allowed Lin Tian to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But he had to get through the flames; otherwise, there was no path forward or back.
"Once past these flames, I need to find a way out! Going to Miyan Island from here is clearly infeasible! Fortunately, my cultivation of the Nine-Turned Three Life Technique is quite profound, slowly healing my injuries!"
Lin Tian took a deep breath, sighed lightly, and dove headfirst into the flames.
The temperature of the flames was terrifyingly high.
Even with the protection of the Samadhi True Fire, Lin Tian felt the sting and burn on his skin.
Thankfully, the Samadhi True Fire easily kept the surrounding flames at bay.
The stings and burns were bearable.
Moreover, this Flame Land was not that large.
From afar.
One could faintly see the mountains and forests beyond the flames.
However, as Lin Tian flew into the middle of the Flame Land, he suddenly stopped.
He looked down at the flames below, raising an eyebrow.
In the flames beneath, there appeared to be something shimmering and glowing.
As he passed by, Lin Tian could feel a very dense fire attribute aura.
"Is it Fire Spirit Stones?"
He murmured to himself, then unhesitatingly landed, diving directly into the fiery ground below.
So-called Fire Spirit Stones are a branch of Spirit Stones.
General Spirit Stones are non-attributive, usable by anyone for cultivation.
Whereas Fire Spirit Stones are of the fire attribute.
Often.
They are conceived in places dense with fiery energy.
Generally, they are unused by cultivators not specialized in Fire Based Techniques.
But for cultivators specializing in fire-based Cultivation Techniques and Combat Techniques, they are absolute Supreme Treasures!
Lin Tian quickly reached the magma below.
Beneath the churning magma, one could vaguely see glimmering lights.
Without further ado, Lin Tian’s hand directed his Flying Sword to slash down, pushing the magma aside completely.
Beneath.
A deep pit emerged, with purple-red flames swirling within.
Inside.
Lay a dozen or so smooth, glossy stones, resembling pebbles.
But from them radiated tremendous Spiritual Energy.
Even through the thick flames, Lin Tian could feel it.
"At least there’s some gain, it wasn’t a wasted effort!"
Lin Tian consoled himself.
Immediately.
Reaching down with his hand, a True Qi Giant Hand lifted the dozen Fire Spirit Stones up.
They were indeed Fire Spirit Stones!
Looking at the fiery red stones in his hand, Spiritual Energy surging from them, Lin Tian showed joy on his face.
After looking around, finding no more Spirit Stones.
He stored the Fire Spirit Stones and did not linger, continuing to fly towards the flames’ edge.
But upon reaching the boundary.
A crystalline flame ball caught his attention.
"What the hell is this?"
Lin Tian halted, heading toward the flame ball.
Upon nearing.
Inside the flame ball, he saw a crystalline bead as large as a washbasin.
After inspecting for a while, Lin Tian could not discern what it was.
There was no Spiritual Energy emanating, nor any energy fluctuation.
On the contrary, it seemed to be alive...as if...a living being!
Curious, Lin Tian reached out to grab it.
Roar~
Suddenly.
A furious roar came from below the ground.
The washbasin-sized bead came to life in an instant.
The ground under Lin Tian’s feet shook.
"Damn! I’m standing on a giant beast!"
Lin Tian finally realized, his expression changed as he quickly leapt onto his Flying Sword to escape.
Boom~
Yet, in an instant, a massive iron claw struck heavily at him.
It was a claw wreathed in flames, its force akin to being able to break mountains and rivers!
Already injured, Lin Tian was struck flying, blood gushing from his mouth.
He was thrown out of the Flame Land, landing on the adjacent peak, forming a plain at the top of the mountain, smoke and dust surging as rocks shattered and scattered.
"Are all earth cave monsters this terrifying?"
At this moment, Lin Tian felt as though his body was about to fall apart, his face turning deathly pale.
Already injured.
Another blow compounded his injuries.
Lin Tian climbed to his feet, looking towards the flames.
Upon seeing the enormous figure emerging, he drew a deep breath.
Emerging from the flames was a giant beast made from pitch-black stone, flames continually swirling around its massive body, its arms and fists like small mountains.
Before it, Lin Tian felt like a mere ant!
Was this a Flame Stone Beast?
Or a Stone Spirit?
The Land of Earth Cave, what the hell kind of place is this?
No time to think, all that remains...
"Run!"
Secretly resigned, Lin Tian forced a bitter smile, gritted his teeth, and, disregarding his injuries, sprinted on his Flying Sword with all his might in one direction.
Roar~
The flame giant beast watched Lin Tian flee, roaring loudly, pursuing with a thunderous chase.
Leaving horrifying craters in its wake.
Moreover, this creature was exceedingly persistent.
Lin Tian initially thought he could shake it off quickly.
But the giant beast chased him down for nearly half an hour.
Thankfully, it couldn’t fly, and no matter how swift it moved on the ground, it couldn’t outpace Lin Tian’s Flying Sword.
Soon after.
He finally shook it off.
But all along his flight, Lin Tian lost his bearings, unable to determine his direction amidst frantic flying.
Now having stopped, he found himself in a barren wilderness with no vegetation in sight.
