Chapter 171

Without this information,

Meng Zhangqing would likely be like a headless fly, wasting much effort.

Now, he can head straight for the destination.

Quickly.

Meng Zhangqing arrived at a lake.

Called a lake, it was actually a vast accumulation of magma, roughly a kilometer in diameter, which could be considered quite large.

Plop plop plop~

In the fire lake, thick black smoke filled the air everywhere, with occasional fish-shaped demonic beasts darting through, revealing faint outlines of their forms.

The temperature here could be described as extremely, extremely high.

And this was only at the lakeside.

If one ventured deeper, one could only imagine.

Without practicing some technique to enhance fire resistance, entering would mean being burned to ashes.

"Actually, with my current physical defense, even without practicing the 'Fire-Resisting Sun Art', I would already fear no scorching flames."

Meng Zhangqing's gaze shifted slightly.

The Stone Person bloodline had not merely enhanced simple physical defense, but all aspects; otherwise, it would not have been classified as a top-tier body-refining bloodline.

However, the 'Fire-Resisting Sun Art' still needed to be practiced.

Because it was needed to store the flames.

And integrate them into the body.

"Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python."

This was the target Meng Zhangqing had chosen.

It was also the strongest fire-attribute demonic beast in this region.

For a long time, only a few disciples had managed to slay it.

There were two reasons.

First, the beast itself possessed sufficient strength, being at the peak of the Second Grade.

Second, this was the Fire Lake, the beast's home ground, where the power of the Fire Element was incredibly abundant.

The beast's strength would also receive a massive boost.

Not quite reaching the Third Grade, but nearly so.

Thus, over time, few people came to this place.

The Cold Moon true qi within his body surged, wrapping around his entire form, or more accurately, his clothes.

Although his physical body would not be burned by the flames, these clothes could not withstand them.

He did not wish to walk across this fire lake completely naked.

He gathered his mind.

Meng Zhangqing began to move forward.

Step by step, he stepped upon the thick magma.

That seemingly intensely hot temperature could not affect him in the slightest.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a red figure darted out from the side, its eyes blood-red, its mouth filled with sharp spikes.

It bit directly at Meng Zhangqing.

But Meng Zhangqing did not even glance at it.

He walked forward with his hands clasped behind his back.

The true qi outside his body transformed into an ice sword, slicing it in two.

A Mid-stage Second Grade demonic beast died instantly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The death of the beast did not instill fear in the other demonic beasts.

On the contrary, it heightened their ferocity.

Even with a vast gap in strength, driven by instinct, they surged forward one after another.

Quickly.

Yet, in the face of absolute strength, numbers meant nothing.

"Still not coming out?"

When Meng Zhangqing reached the center of the fire lake, the ground beneath his feet was already covered in corpses; in fact, some of the innate talents on these demonic beasts were quite tempting to him, but unfortunately, they lacked spiritual intelligence.

Roar!

The moment the words fell.

The fire lake immediately grew turbulent.

The next second.

A massive demonic beast broke through the lake surface and surged out!

It faced Meng Zhangqing from a distance.

The beast was fully fifty meters long, its body covered in fiery red scales.

It looked indestructible.

It possessed three heads, each appearing as an independent existence.

In its blood-red eyes, thick killing intent surged.

Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python!

The strongest beast in this place.

Unless a disciple of the Shi brothers' level comes, no one at the same realm can be its match.

As it roared, fiery winds howled.

Pressing down until Meng Zhangqing's black hair whipped and crackled.

His expression remained calm.

He even activated his Scrying Eye to view the panel.

Basic Information:

【Name: Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python】

【Race: Beast】

(Good enough) 【Level: Peak of Second Realm】

Attribute Information:

【Beast Talent: Earth Fire】

【Beast Talent: Flame Dragon Roar】

"Hmm, just average."

Meng Zhangqing gave his evaluation.

But this was normal; it was not some bloodline beast.

It could not possess any powerful talents.

Roar!

The Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python waited not a moment, charging straight to crush Meng Zhangqing.

Its massive body, like a mountain, radiated overwhelming pressure.

Nothing seemed able to block its attack.

However...

Whoosh!

Meng Zhangqing drew his sword with his right hand and slashed casually.

Sword light like snow, coldness swirling, sliced through the Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python's body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Its body split instantly, tumbling all over the ground.

One of its heads stopped right at Meng Zhangqing's feet.

Its eyes still brimmed with killing intent.
