Chapter 492: Stealing a Treasure right from their Mouths
The instant his body came into contact with the lava, Yi Yun circulated his Yuan Qi to the maximum. At the same time, he interfaced his spiritual energy with the Purple Crystal to protect his whole body.
“Dong!”
The lava was sticky and heavy. When Yi Yun jumped in, there was not a single splash. Very quickly, his whole body sank into the deep depths of the lava.
The terrifying burning sensation overwhelmed him as Yi Yun felt his protective Yuan Qi being swallowed quickly.
The temperature of this lava was definitely not something that ordinary lava could match.
Besides, the lava was not only hot, it also contained chaotic pure Yang energy. Pure Yang energy was the energy of the Sun. Typically, when a warrior was struck by such an energy, their protective Yuan Qi will instantly shatter, causing their organs and meridians to burn, and finally, not leaving a tiny bit of bone residue.
However, Yi Yun had a pure Yang body. He was also circulating pure Yang Yuan Qi in his body. As he had the same type of energy and his understanding of pure Yang laws, he could prevent his body from burning up in the lava valley.
However, Yi Yun still found it very difficult.
Compared to the pure Yang energy in the lava, Yi Yun’s pure Yang Yuan Qi was like a small boat in the ocean. It could be capsized by a wave at any moment.
The deeper he went into the lava valley, the higher the temperature. Yi Yun chose a level of about three meters deep. This depth was sufficient enough to hide his body, and the pressure and temperature was relatively easier to handle.
His body’s Yuan Qi was being quickly depleted, so he had to hurry.
The lava was extremely heavy and highly resistive. It was also moving downstream, so with the tremendous energy surging at him, it was extremely tiring swimming upstream. Yi Yun ended up clinging to the rock walls of the valley and climbed up towards the lava lake like a gecko.
Yi Yun’s choice of location was about tens of meters away from the lava lake, so he very quickly reached the mouth of the lava lake by moving upstream.
Yi Yun held his breath as his heart raced. The three-legged strange bird was still battling the large turtle. Their every clash caused the earth to tremor.
Under this situation, not a single one of the strange birds could discover Yi Yun, who was hiding inside the lava.
Gu! Gu! Gu!
The lava was moving, with the subterranean flow turbulent.
Yi Yun had finally entered the lava lake!
The moment he entered the lava lake, Yi Yun could feel that the temperature here was much higher than the lava valley. His protective Yuan Qi was depleting even faster.
Yi Yun estimated that he could hold on for about 15 minutes at most.
Below the lava lake, even with Yuan Qi protecting him, all he could see as he opened his eyes was whiteness, it was too blinding!
Yi Yun opened his energy vision and using it, he sensed where the red lotus was.
In the energy vision, it was camouflaged with white pure Yang energy everywhere. However, right in the middle of the lava lake, where the red lotus was, the pure Yang energy was even more intense. It was like a gushing Sun. As usual, Yi Yun easily locked onto it.
Yi Yun was about hundreds of feet away from it.
“I need to hurry!”
At this moment, Yi Yun could no longer cling to the wall to proceed. He had to swim to the middle of the lava lake. He did not have any idea of backing off, so gathering a large amount of energy, he accelerated towards the middle.
Thankfully, the lava flow in the lava lake was relatively stable. It was not as fast as the valley.
As the distance to the red lotus shortened, the temperature of the lava lake increased.
When Yi Yun reached the center, he had less than 60% of his Yuan Qi left. And this amount of energy was needed to support his return.
Yi Yun did not dare to delay any further and began plucking the lotus!
Yi Yun looked down and saw that the red lotus’ roots were extremely long. It stretched deep down and at the bottom of the lava lake, there was a protruding boulder. The red lotus was growing on the top of this boulder, the lotus root had grown inside it, becoming one with it.
After a bit of hesitation, Yi Yun pulled out the Red Lotus Saber from his interspatial ring.
In terms of quality, Shen Tu Nantian’s sword was not inferior to the Red Lotus Saber. However, for cleaving, a saber was more suitable than a sword.
In the lava, the Red Lotus Saber emitted a strange blood-red glow. It seemed to contrast beautifully with the red lava. As a saber that was collected by the Thousand Hand Granny, it naturally would not be melted by the lava.
With the saber in hand, he thought of the Saber Truth’s 32 Words and slashed at the red lotus’ roots!
“Dang!”
The red lotus’ roots let out a clear resounding sound. Yi Yun felt like he had slashed a metal rod and he had not severed the root at all.
Yi Yun’s heart sank. It was really strong!
He had guessed that a
