Chapter 188: Desperately Crossing the Sea of Lava
Yuan Xiao pushed the purple five-element beads in his body to rotate quickly, transforming all the spiritual energy in his body into fire spiritual energy, striving to make the body and the outside of the body fire-attributed, so as to minimize the damage of the magma to his body.
At the same time, the shadow of the Apocalypse Pearl in the Dantian in his body also rotated quickly, providing himself with the strongest and fastest healing power at all times!
"Brother Tie, you reached the other side of a thousand feet away. There was a gap of 200 feet before. Now I plan to help you get back this 200 feet." Yuan Xiao finally revealed the mystery.
"Before, you could jump to 200 feet with one full jump, and then you could swim 600 feet in the sea of magma, and there was still 200 feet to go. And I can jump to 100 feet with one full jump, and then I can use the secret method to withstand the magma sea for about an incense stick of time. This incense stick of time should allow me to swim the remaining 900 feet in the magma sea and reach the other side!" Yuan Xiao said.
"Hold on for an incense stick of time? I tried it before, and I could only hold on for half an incense stick at most. You are only at the tendon refining stage, so it's hard to hold on for such a long time!" Tieshan said worriedly.
"It's impossible to do it with physical strength alone. I have other healing secrets. I can heal while being injured. Don't worry, brother Tie! Besides, I don't want to lose my life at such a young age!" Yuanxiao said and laughed.
"Brother Yuan, I, Tieshan, trust you again. I believe you won't throw your life away in this sea of magma! Of course, I won't!" Tieshan laughed heartily.
"I will jump out 100 feet first, fall into the sea of magma, and then swim forward 100 feet. When I reach a distance of 200 feet, I will stop and wait for you. At this time, you jump over and use my body as a foothold and a stone pillar, and then you can jump out 200 feet again. In this way, you can move forward 200 feet more than before and make up for the gap of 200 feet." Yuanxiao finally said the specific plan.
"In this case, I will leave you behind?" Tieshan asked.
"Then you still have 600 feet to swim, and I still have 800 feet to swim. Let's compete to see who can swim faster! Maybe I will surpass you! Do you dare to bet? The loser will stand upside down and eat dog shit!" Yuanxiao said provocatively.
"How can you think of it! If you bet, I seem to have seen you standing upside down and eating dog shit!" Tieshan said disdainfully.
"Brother Tie, don't hesitate next time. There is only one chance. Even if there are all kinds of changes, you can't change the plan I said before. To put it bluntly, if I can't wait for Brother Tie to jump over at 200 feet, I will swim alone and never recognize you as a friend again. I will also scold you to death in front of Wu Lao Mo!" Yuanxiao suddenly said fiercely.
After that, Yuanxiao took off all his clothes and threw all his things into the storage ring given by Brother Zhaiyue to prevent these things from being burned into charcoal by the magma.
Then Yuanxiao leaped into the magma sea a hundred feet away in the direction of the platform in front of him, and sank instantly. After three breaths, he emerged from the magma surface five feet ahead, quickly moved the magma with his hands, and swam forward with all his strength.
Yuanxiao's hair and eyebrows were instantly burned by the magma, turning him into a bald head. His whole body felt extremely hot and painful, but fortunately, the fire attribute aura of the Five Elements Pearl had been protecting his body, which reduced the damage a lot. The healing power of the Apocalypse Pearl immediately started to operate at full capacity, truly healing while being injured, which is a rare situation in the world of immortal cultivation.
Yuanxiao finally swam to two hundred feet and shouted, "Where is Tieshan!"
Tieshan, who was resting on the stone pillar, no longer hesitated, and jumped 200 feet with all his strength, just stepping on Yuanxiao's shoulder. Yuanxiao stretched out his hands to hold Tieshan's feet and pushed upward with force. Tieshan took advantage of the situation and jumped forward again 200 feet, and also plunged into the magma sea with a plop.
Tieshan was only one level higher than Yuanxiao in the realm of physical training, but he did not have the ability to heal while injured. After falling into the sea of magma, he could only swim forward desperately.
Yuanxiao saw Tieshan swimming hard in front of him, and waved his arms to cut through the magma and chased forward.
Because the spells and magical powers that could be released outside the body were all ineffective in the sea of magma, they could only rely on their bodies and the shields inside their bodies.
Yuanxiao and Tieshan were now like two strong physical training mortals, swimming forward desperately in the sea of magma. And the Tianmo physical training technique they practiced could prevent them from getting injured in a short time.
After half an incense stick, Tieshan only swam to 900 feet, and his skin had been burned and his flesh and blood had been exposed. Unexpectedly, the temperature of the magma rose sharply in the last section of the journey. Every step forward, Tieshan's body was in unbearable pain, but victory was in sight, how could he give up, this was the last 100 feet!
Yuanxiao had already chased to 850 feet, only 50 feet away from Tieshan, and only 150 feet away from the other side.
Yuanxiao was different from Tieshan after all. He had the Apocalypse Pearl to heal his wounds at any time, so his injuries were slightly lighter than Tieshan's. However, his whole body was burned to the color of braised shrimps, and his skin began to show signs of ulceration.
Tieshan, with his strong will, endured the severe pain of his flesh and blood being burned, and swam forward again for 50 feet. At 950 feet, Tieshan was already unconscious and almost sank.
In a daze, Tieshan swam forward another 10 meters, and finally fainted due to his serious injuries. He slowly sank at 960 feet and disappeared.
Five breaths later, Tieshan floated to the surface of the magma again, and there was a bald man beside him, it was Yuanxiao.
It turned out that Yuanxiao finally caught up with Tieshan at the critical moment, grabbed one of Tieshan's arms, and dragged him to the shore that was clearly visible in front of him.
Only the last 40 feet were left!
Yuanxiao's skin finally reached its limit and exploded at this time, and then the flesh and blood began to crack. Although the Apocalypse Pearl continued to repair it, it still couldn't keep up with the damage, and it hurt to the bone.
30 feet, 20 feet, 10 feet...
Yuanxiao also began to be a little dazed. Fortunately, the purple five-element pearl suddenly opened the shackles, and the ability to convert fire attributes suddenly increased several times, and the ability to protect against fire damage increased greatly, which saved Yuanxiao's last bit of clarity.
5 feet, 1 foot, Yuanxiao dragged the unconscious Tieshan and finally came to the shore.
Yuanxiao stood up from the magma, held Tieshan's arms with both hands, and dragged Tieshan out of the magma completely. The two fell on the rocks on the shore together, and there was no movement.
If someone passed by at this time, they might think that both of them were dead, because both of them were torn apart and looked horrible.
Yuanxiao only remembered that before he fainted, his hand was still on Tieshan's arm.
However, the magma had no more damage to the two of them, but the healing power of the Apocalypse Pearl did not stop. After Yuanxiao fell into a coma, the Apocalypse Pearl continued to recover and heal.
An hour later, Yuanxiao finally opened his eyes.
Hey! He is not dead!
