World-Ending Demon Emperor
Chapter 1057 - 482: Secret Valley!

Chapter 1057: 482: Secret Valley!

The temperature of the magma here exceeds a thousand degrees, enough to melt even iron, let alone the mere human body.

After falling into the magma, Lanling’s body instantly became a ball of raging flames.

"Ah... Ah..."

Endless pain assaulted him.

His entire body was thoroughly scorched with pain, truly unbearable.

Lanling (Solon) howled in agony, struggling!

This kind of mournful scream, the shrieks, went straight up to the crater.

The piercing wretchedness of the screams was utterly bone-chilling.

"Slap slap..." The little girl struggled desperately, crying and shouting.

After just one minute, the dreadful screams halted, and the crater fell silent again.

A tremor went through everyone’s heart: "This man is dead, this Near-Human Tribe man whose name we do not know is dead."

The little monster shaman smugly said to the little girl, "That idiot is dead, from now on I am your father."

He held the little girl and left the crater, proclaiming, "Today’s Heavenly Eye Judgment concludes with this, take the remaining dozens of people back to their prison cave."

With that, he didn’t wait for others to react and was ready to stride off.

The cowardly Near-Human Tribe Mulong struggled with hesitation for a long time before stepping forward and biting his teeth, "Your Excellency Shaman, that little girl’s father entrusted her to me, I must fulfill my promise."

The little monster shaman cackled, "Are you also tired of living? Aren’t you afraid of me?"

"Afraid," Mulong trembled, "And I have already joined the Chimera Tribe, I cherish this opportunity very much. But as Ta Tribe people, we value our promises the most, so please return her to me."

The little monster shaman’s expression turned frosty, and he coldly ordered, "Throw this equally foolish Near-Human into the crater too, let him burn to death alongside the other."

But no one moved.

The little monster shaman demanded coldly, "Leader Dina, did you not hear my command?"

This robustly built black woman named Dina was the third commander of the Foreign Tribe Army of the Chimera Tribe.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Your Excellency Shaman, this Near-Human has passed the Heavenly Eye Judgment, so he is now a member of our Foreign Tribe Army, and we have the responsibility to protect him."

Mulong clenched his teeth and said, "Your Excellency Shaman, please return the little girl to me."

"Ao..." The little monster shaman roared ferociously.

Suddenly, like a whirlwind, it hit Mulong and sent him flying dozens of meters, blood spraying wildly in midair.

Female commander of the Foreign Tribe Army, Dina, sprung powerfully into the air, leaping over ten meters high, catching Mulong mid-air and quickly pouring a bottle of potion into his mouth.

In The Barbaric Wilderness, every refugee had survived against all odds. This was even more true for the members of the Foreign Tribe Army of the Chimera Tribe. As one of its leaders, Dina had the responsibility to protect every member of her army.

Seeing this, the little monster shaman sneered coldly, carrying the little girl off in his arms.

This was a demon offspring, having her, one’s cultivation could skyrocket. Moreover, such a young demon offspring was absolutely priceless.

Dina’s face twitched slightly, and then she couldn’t help but go to the crater’s platform to peer down.

Below the abyss, lay endless magma, crimson as blood.

Obviously, anyone who fell would surely die.

"Let’s go back," Dina commanded.

Instantly, several hundred members of the Foreign Tribe Army escorted the remaining dozens of Barbarian Prisoners down the mountain and back to the tribe’s cave prison.

...

I don’t know how long it passed, but Lanling actually woke up.

Then he realized that his entire body was engulfed in flames.

However, the pain was no longer there, replaced by a very strange feeling, almost comfortable.

Next, Lanling lifted his hand, and witnessed an incredibly eerie scene.

His left hand was burning fiercely, charred to a crisp. In contrast, his right hand was rapidly healing, recovering to its original state.

But immediately after, the freshly healed right hand was scorched by magma, turning into charcoal again. Meanwhile, the charred left hand regrew like dead wood sprouting in spring and quickly returned to its original state.

It wasn’t just the hands, but the whole body was undergoing the same process.

One side of the body was burnt, while the other side was restored to its original condition.

In essence, half of his body was charred, while the other half remained intact.

It looked truly like a demon or a fierce ghost.

Caught between shock and elation, Lanling suddenly realized that the energy within his body was draining away.

It turns out, all of this came at a price, consuming the body’s energy for life and physical restoration.

Instantly, Lanling hurriedly swam towards the edge of the magma using his hands and feet.

Swimming in magma looked truly bizarre and imposing.

Perhaps, Lanling was the only person to swim in magma.

Upon reaching the edge of the magma, Lanling climbed up the rocks on the side.

What these black rocks were made of, Lanling did not know; they somehow withstood the terrible high temperatures of the magma without turning to dust.

"Ah..." Lanling leapt up abruptly, his limbs firmly pressing against the cliff wall of the volcano’s mouth.

At the same time, his hands and feet grew sharp claws, firmly nailing into the hard and slippery cliff, then he rapidly climbed upwards.

After an immense effort, Lanling scaled over a hundred meters of cliff and leaped out from the volcano’s mouth.

By then, it was already dark!

The entire volcano, deserted!

Finally, Lanling had clung onto life!

But soon, he sensed an ominous feeling!

Inside his body, it seemed like there was a fire burning!

Ever since he landed on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, there was always a rage burning in Lanling’s heart.

This rage accumulated every day, completely beyond the control of his will.

But just now, having been scorched by the magma for about four hours, this fiery rage had seeped into the veins, deep into the body.

The energy of the magma’s flames was incredibly intense, and having burnt for about four hours, it had surpassed the limit of Lanling’s bloodline’s endurance.

Consequently, it turned into an inner fire within his body!

Lanling could clearly feel that the temperature of his body was rising sharply. Not only that, but his eyes were also getting drier, as if the moisture within them was about to be burnt away.

Not only this, Lanling looked down at his chest, at the region of his heart.

He could distinctly feel that his whole heart had swollen by about a third or fourth, and it was glowing red, resembling flames.

Then, every single blood vessel began to swell, the blood inside flowing rapidly.

Each blood vessel was like a red-hot iron wire, making his entire appearance look incredibly terrifying.

As if he could ignite at any moment, ready to explode.

"This is bad, the evil fire is about to burn its way out from deep within my heart." Lanling felt his heart swelling larger and larger, as though it might explode at any moment.

Once the heart swelled to its limit, there was no doubt that Lanling’s entire body would be blasted into pieces.

By then, he would truly have no chance of survival, and Yao Xing would no longer be there to save him.

All of a sudden...

Lanling spread his legs and sprinted wildly.

"Ah... Ah..."

He roared inwardly.

His body temperature grew higher and higher, and his heart expanded more and more.

He ran faster and faster, eventually like a wild horse unleashed.

Furthermore, the withered grass beneath his feet was directly ignited as he passed.

Not only that, Lanling felt his consciousness growing increasingly blurred, the world in his eyes reddening more and more intensely.

It was as if he was viewing the world through blood, through flames.

The fire within him burned fiercely.

His heart expanded larger and larger, ever larger.

Finally, his legs began to catch fire.

His heart was about to reach its maximum swelling, about to explode.

In the end, Lanling’s entire body was like a red-hot branding iron, his eyes bloodshot, and he could no longer see anything, facing nothing but a dark red void.

He was blindly sprinting in frenzy.

His whole body was like a massive bomb, ready to detonate at any moment!

All of a sudden...

Lanling instinctively sensed a coolness, as if a very powerful ice-cold energy was nearby, approximately two to three thousand meters away.

He was completely blind now, running madly towards it, guided solely by the sense of energy.

Along the way, everything that obstructed him was shattered to pieces.

Just like that, he rushed into a valley that was considered forbidden territory.

...

The Chimera Tribe nestled against a volcano, hence the temperature was extremely hot.

Only this forbidden valley was exceedingly icy cold, constantly at sub-zero temperatures year-round.

And at the entrance of the valley stood thick ice, several meters of solid ice!

Ordinary Barbarians would freeze intolerably just by approaching this valley.

Furthermore, this valley was a forbidden place, and whoever approached would be chopped into mincemeat to feed the Griffin Beasts.

Yet Lanling, nearly wholly consumed by flames, was drawn to the ice-cold energy of the forbidden valley. Despite being completely blind, he crazily charged towards it.

He couldn’t see the solid ice several meters thick at the entrance of the valley.

Anyone who collided with this ice would undoubtedly suffer broken bones and meet an untimely end!

However, when Lanling, who was nearly ablaze, collided with it...

"Bang bang bang..."

One after another, Lanling’s fiery body fiercely smashed through layer upon layer of ice.

It was as if a red-hot iron ball was thrown onto the surface of frozen water, the blazing ball rapidly melting the ice.

"Comfortable, so comfortable..."

The coldness of the thick ice temporarily suppressed the flames within Lanling’s body.

But soon, his nearly burning body completely melted through and pierced the several meters thick ice.

He dashed violently into the valley!

Inside the valley laid a hot spring lake, the temperature of the water above sixty or seventy degrees, heated by the lava from the nearby volcano.

This temperature was unsuitable for swimming.

However, at this moment...

A large snake was gliding through the lake water.

It was a green snake, swimming comfortably in the water, making contented sounds.

As its head emerged from the water, it revealed a woman’s face!

A stunningly gorgeous face!

In the ripples of the lake, her snakelike body also kept transforming.

Sometimes it was snake-like, sometimes it was the body of a woman.

When she took human shape, the curvature of her delicate body surpassed that of any woman.

Wherever her body swam, the lake water instantly congealed into ice!

She was an ice-cold serpent woman, who loved warmth the most, which is why she came to this volcano, taking over this unusually warm hot spring and designating this valley as the forbidden land of the Chimera Tribe.

Out of the twenty-four hours a day, she spent more than a dozen hours in this warmth.

Because the ice-cold energy inside her body was constantly biting back at her, only the warmth near the volcano could alleviate the terrible rebound of the cold.

She surfaced, and upon seeing Lanling nearly engulfed in flame, she was astounded.

This place was forbidden territory, how could someone have come in.

Immediately after, she was about to release a powerful blast of ice-cold energy to lock onto Lanling.

"Crack crack crack..." In the tens of meters between her and Lanling, all the air condensed into ice, forming a solid wall of air.

"Bang bang bang bang..." Lanling, completely consumed by flames, quickly smashed through these air walls and plunged into the lake water.

He, burning with the evil fire, had lost all consciousness and was directly pouncing towards her piercing ice-cold energy.

Lanling longed for the coldness of the energy, and the serpent woman longed for the warmth of flames. Thus, she was completely unable to resist.

...

After an unknown amount of time!

Opening his eyes, Lanling immediately saw a face of stunning beauty, a face not quite human but far more bewitching.

He looked down and saw the body of the woman, with curves no human could ever possess.

"You of the Near-Human Tribe have quite the audacity, don’t you? To dare defile me," the breathtaking creature spoke hoarsely: "Do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?" Lanling asked.

"Chief Constantine’s Forbidden Delicacy of the Chimera Tribe, his second wife," the stunning creature said with a cold laugh: "Congratulations, you’ve given the Chieftain a cuckold’s hat. You’ll be skinned and boned, minced into meat!"
