Chapter 1392

Chapter 1392: Chapter 1388 Golden Palace Chapter 1392: Chapter 1388 Golden Palace Turtle Thousand Years watched the direction in which Black Bear Demon disappeared, his face somewhat gloomy, but by now, anything he said would be too late. He could only shut his mouth and secretly prepare for the upcoming action to snatch the Earth Core Fire Lotus.

In a stealthy glance, Dragon Tooth cast an eye at Shen Luo, a shadow of malice fleetingly apparent in his gaze, but it quickly dissipated as he lowered his head, also accumulating strength for the action ahead.

A few breaths later, over the expanse of golden magma, a fierce wind suddenly arose, dark clouds surged, and a swath of dark clouds several acres in size appeared out of thin air.

The herd of Red Flame Beasts within the magma immediately sensed the anomaly in midair and looked up in unison.

But before they could react, with a thunderous roar, tens of thousands of black electric arcs rained down from the clouds like a downpour, striking precisely and uniformly upon those Red Flame Beasts.

Every Red Flame Beast was hit by a hundred thunderbolts, the thunderclaps sounding in rapid succession, clusters of black lightning exploding and tearing the bodies of all the Red Flame Beasts apart, reducing them to countless scattered flames.

The magma below was also affected by the black electric arcts; streaks of black electric arcs moved with incredible speed within it, spreading in all directions and causing magma to splash and scatter wherever they passed.

The remnants of flames formed by the Red Flame Beasts immediately converged and reformed, but their breath had weakened, clearly injured by the black lightning.

The golden-yellow flames within the magma were not ordinary fire spirits but were intense fires that erupted and surged out with the Earth Lung's Fire, greatly beneficial to the cultivation of the Red Flame Beasts. Having their cultivation interrupted by the black lightning, the Red Flame Beasts were instantly filled with a mixture of shock and rage, their bodies flickering with flames as they prepared to attack the Dark Clouds in the Sky.

After the strike, the Dark Clouds in Mid Air had thinned out significantly, its power more than halved, but it still remained coherent.

However, at that moment, nearby the Earth Core Fire Lotus, a flash of black lightning went by, and the figure of the Black Bear Demon appeared with a flicker. With repeated grasps, he swiftly plundered more than a dozen Earth Core Fire Lotuses and then instantly transformed into a thick bolt of lightning, shooting off into the distance.

“Who's this thief, daring to snatch the Earth Core Fire Lotus!”

“Seeking death!”

“Come meet your doom!”

First having their cultivation interrupted and then witnessing a thief stealing the Earth Core Fire Lotus, the Red Flame Beasts exploded with fury. Nearly half of them transformed into long, rainbow-like streaks of light, chasing after the Black Bear Demon.

Within the Dark Clouds in Mid Air, lightning re-illuminated, and amidst the thunderous rumbling, large swaths of black electric arcs fell again. Half of the lightning struck those chasing Red Flame Beasts, while the rest hit the stationary creatures above the magma.

Hastily, the Red Flame Beasts opened their mouths and spat out clusters of crimson flames towards those black electric arcs.

However, those black electric arcs moved with incredible agility, darting left and right as if they were nimble snakes, easily evading most of the flames and striking the Red Flame Beasts once more.

Clusters of black lightning burst apart, and several Red Flame Beasts were torn open again.

The Red Flame Beasts in the Magma Lake that had been attacked a second time became furiously enraged, also chasing after the Black Bear Demon.

In the blink of an eye, there were less than twenty Red Flame Beasts left above the Magma Lake, roaring continuously in the direction where Black Bear had fled, yet they did not pursue, as if they were ordered to stay and guard this place.

“Black Daoist has drawn away most of the Red Flame Beasts. Let's make our move quickly!” Friend Fu transmitted a shout and put away the Fire Avoidance Shield. Having already concealed his traces, he silently shot toward the Earth Core Fire Lotus.

Shen Luo, Turtle Thousand Years, and Dragon Tooth also immediately followed, each moving towards the Earth Core Fire Lotus from different directions.

This was a strategy they had discussed in advance, acting from different angles so that even if the Super Red Flame Beast came attacking, they wouldn't all be caught in one net.

Shen Luo pushed the Pure Yang Sword and the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing to their limits, completely warding off the dreadful high temperature around him. With a single flicker, he arrived beside the cluster of Fire Lotuses and waved his sleeve.

The sleeve of the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing fluttered with the wind, rolling towards a cluster of Earth Core Fire Lotuses.

On the other side, Turtle Thousand Years moved with surprising speed, arriving almost simultaneously next to the Earth Core Fire Lotuses with Shen Luo. He lifted his hand and shot a transparent blue light, aiming to cage the Earth Core Fire Lotuses and even tried to envelop the cluster of golden yellow flames; he greedily intended to take the Nine-Petal Fire Lotus within as well.

The golden yellow flames violently leapt about, and thick, bowl-sized golden fire thunderbolts shot out, easily tearing through the blue light cast by Turtle Thousand Years.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The next moment, these golden fire thunderbolts exploded, emitting deafening roars and carried a unique vibrating force within them.

Turtle Thousand Years' head buzzed, nearly causing him to faint, stopping the flow of mana within his body; his hidden figure suddenly became visible.

Though further away, the rest, including Shen Luo, also felt as if thunder had exploded in their ears; the flow of their mana likewise stumbled, and their invisibility was dispelled, revealing their shocked faces.

The onlooking Red Flame Beasts, seeing the four reappear near the Earth Core Fire Lotus, became both startled and furious, pouncing towards them.

Shen Luo's heart sank. Now that his tracks were exposed, he no longer bothered to hide; he waved his hand to cast the Map of Mountains and Rivers, which expanded hundreds of times, transforming into a sky-covering white light curtain that aimed to take all the Fire Lotuses in one fell swoop.

However, just at that moment, the golden yellow flames suddenly burst forth with an intense golden light, launching a solid, fan-shaped golden beam. It not only stopped the Map of Mountains and Rivers from descending; Shen Luo and the others were also enveloped by the golden light, immobilized.

The ball of golden yellow flames then spread outwards, revealing its true form–not nine-petal fire lotuses, but a golden palace.

Upon seeing this, Shen Luo suddenly sensed an ominous foreboding and promptly withdrew the Map of Mountains and Rivers. His body glowed brightly as he was about to deploy all his strength to break free from the enveloping golden light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within the fan-shaped golden light, the thunderous roar sounded again, stronger than before. It shook the minds of Shen Luo and the others once again, leaving them unable to do anything. Their senses became thoroughly scrambled, unable to see or hear anything.

The fan-shaped golden light took the opportunity to contract backwards. The four, powerless to resist, were swept into the golden palace.

Shen Luo's vision swirled for a moment, and when he came to, he found himself inside a White Jade Hall.

Fu Gong, Turtle Thousand Years, and Dragon Tooth appeared in the same place, their expressions still somewhat vacant, possibly due to the previous thunderous vibration.

Shen Luo felt a slight relief as there seemed to be no prohibitions around; he looked around.

This hall was quite spacious, at least twenty or thirty feet in size. The ceiling was embedded with numerous Luminescent Pearls the size of fists, bathing the area in a milky white glow. The surrounding walls also shone brightly, like a starry night sky, looking exceptionally beautiful.

“What place is this?” The other three gradually recovered, surveying their surroundings in surprise, not daring to move recklessly.

Fu Gong scrutinized the area for a moment; with a flicker of white light in his hand, he produced a White Banner that looked identical to the Eight Trigrams Flag held by Xiao San.

With a gesture, the White Banner emitted waves of silver-white light, spreading out in all directions.

Seeing this, Shen Luo and the others did not intervene.

“It seems we have been taken into a large space magical treasure; if I am not mistaken, it is the golden palace we saw within the flames,” Fu Gong soon ceased casting and said slowly.

“Daoist Friend Fu possesses two Spatial Treasures and has a Divine Rat spirit beast. You must be well-versed in Spatial Divine Abilities. Do you have a means to leave this place?” Shen Luo also felt they were inside the golden palace and asked in a deep voice.
