Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1386 - 1383: Magma Lake

Upon reentering the underworld, it had completely transformed compared to before.

Many places had been leveled by falling rocks due to collapses.

Naturally, there were also parts that had sunk into bottomless craters as a result.

Additionally, there was a substance akin to magma pouring forth like rushing river waters.

The entire underworld exuded an apocalyptic desolation.

Still, it wasn’t completely devoid of life.

Many strange Demon Beasts roamed its depths.

These beasts were exceedingly bizarre—any slight mishap could cost one their life.

Even Li Chen dared not underestimate them at this moment.

Li Chen released his Divine Sense to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding environment.

Unfortunately, something within the underworld seemed to obstruct his Divine Sense.

Above ground, his Divine Sense could extend for thousands of miles.

Here, even extending a thousand meters was already considered exceptional.

Luckily, with the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod as his guide, Li Chen wouldn’t wander aimlessly within.

Moreover, Li Chen keenly noticed that since arriving in the underworld, the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod’s sensations had grown increasingly intense.

This confirmed that his previous judgment was correct.

No matter what, a correct direction would inevitably lead him closer to the truth.

Following the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod’s guidance, Li Chen ascended against the flow of the Magma Sea.

The magma churned with temperatures at least three thousand degrees Celsius.

It was estimated that the temperature in the central region could double, possibly surpassing ten thousand degrees Celsius.

However, these temperatures didn’t significantly affect Li Chen.

He journeyed upstream, unsure of how long, arriving above a vast Magma Lake.

The lake was enormous, rivaling the eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake.

Various magma currents roiled like Fire Dragons on the lake’s surface.

It seemed this was the source of the magma.

"Whoosh!"

As Li Chen gazed at the Lake, it suddenly erupted in a terrifying display.

Then, a soul-stirring dragon roar echoed from the depths of the lake.

Soon, beneath the surface, a monster seemed to emerge.

Sure enough, through the tumult of waves, a sinister skeleton floated into sight.

Its body coiled at the lake’s bottom, stretching ten thousand zhang—an absolute behemoth.

Upon seeing this skeleton, Li Chen was suddenly startled.

It was actually a dragon skeleton!

The Bone Dragon’s head slowly rose above the lake surface, its hollow eye sockets filled with spouting flames.

"Roar!"

The Bone Dragon howled skyward, spewing a massive fireball toward Li Chen.

Li Chen’s expression briefly tensed; he swiftly clasped his hands, forming seals to conjure a defensive wall before him.

The flames were blocked by the wall; unable to penetrate, they retreated like receding tides.

Yet the Bone Dragon didn’t relent.

Instead, its tail lashed out, raising a magma wave, shattering stones, and crashing onto the shore.

"Boom!"

The defensive wall Li Chen formed with seals cracked like a spider web under the fierce flame assault, threatening to shatter at any moment.

Observing this, Li Chen’s expression darkened slightly.

"Beast, do you truly think I fear you?"

With a decisive shout, Li Chen wasted no time, taking a step forward, soaring powerfully upward, wielding the Seven-star Dragon Abyss to cleave the flames in two.

However, the Bone Dragon remained unresponsive, relentlessly attacking, blocking Li Chen’s path.

It seemed this Bone Dragon was indeed a puppet!

With such thoughts, Li Chen grew suspicious.

Who possessed such capabilities to use a dragon as a puppet?

Moreover, what was this Bone Dragon guarding within the Magma Lake?

Reflecting on this, Li Chen felt he was drawing closer to the truth.

If he guessed correctly, all answers would lie within this Magma Lake.

Given the current situation, entering the Magma Lake meant first dealing with the obstructive Bone Dragon Puppet.

Having made up his mind, Li Chen acted decisively, summoning a hundred Sky Demon Puppets to surround and attack the Bone Dragon.

Puppet versus puppet—to see which one could endure.

Li Chen’s puppets, forged from special rocks, could withstand high temperatures exceeding ten thousand degrees Celsius, so they weren’t afraid of the magma.

Even so, Li Chen’s Sky Demon Puppets couldn’t suppress the Bone Dragon.

It seemed capable of absorbing Fire Element from the Magma Lake, converting it into boundless power.

Simply put, as long as the Magma Lake remained, the Bone Dragon possessed an Undying Body.

And as it had long perished, existing as a mindless puppet, it felt no fear.

This means that as long as the Magma Lake didn’t extinguish, it would eternally stand guard, barring all invaders.

Looking at the sprawling thousands of miles of Magma Lake, Li Chen was well aware that his current cultivation couldn’t dim its flames.

It seemed another method must be found!

After pondering briefly, inspiration struck within Li Chen’s mind.

There it was—using Secret Techniques to temporarily sever the Bone Dragon’s connection to the Magma Lake, rendering it like a powerless machine, directly scrapped!

Resolved in his choice, Li Chen wasted no time, brandishing the Seven-star Dragon Abyss to strike seven sword flowers in midair.

The seven flowers formed into a Seven-star Sword Array, interconnected, seamlessly flowing as a closed miniature world, enveloping the Bone Dragon within.

Then, Li Chen summoned the Water Spirit Pearl acquired from the Spiritual Spring Sect.

Under Li Chen’s mental control, the Water Spirit Pearl spun rapidly, forming a fountain-like water jet.

Initially, the water jet was small.

Before reaching the ground, it was evaporated entirely by the Magma World’s extreme heat.

However, with Li Chen continually infusing True Yuan into the Pearl.

The Water Spirit Pearl’s radiance grew; the fountain jet expanded. Like the waters of the Nine Heavens Galaxy, it flowed endlessly, cascading onto the Bone Dragon.

"Sizzle!"

The torrent fell into the magma, producing a piercing sizzle.

Thick smoke rose, intensely acrid.

Under the dense smoke, the Bone Dragon’s surrounding magma Fire Sea clearly subsided.

It appeared that with a little more effort, the flames could be extinguished.

Once that happened, the Bone Dragon—devoid of Magma energy—would be like fish on a chopping board, entirely at Li Chen’s mercy...
