Chapter 872

Deep within the volcano's core, time slipped away silently, and in the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Li Luo sat quietly within the "Water-Fire Miracle Pool," continuously drawing in its mysterious water and fire energy to temper his body, and the results of this tempering were plainly evident.

At this moment, the golden light that had previously surfaced on Li Luo's body had steadily faded, replaced by a clear, spotless luster of glazed crystal.

His skin glowed with a faint luminescence, as if one could see through it to the vessels beneath, and as his flesh and muscle pulsed, they released extraordinarily potent power.

When all the golden light within Li Luo's flesh and muscles had fully transformed into the luster of glazed crystal, it meant he had completely entered the Glazed Crystal Slag Body Realm.

This moment did not take long to arrive.

As the final strand of golden light vanished from his flesh, Li Luo's tall, muscular frame suddenly trembled—energy from heaven and earth surged into his body without end, and the pool water around him formed a vortex; as the vortex swirled, the water and fire energy battered his body with violent force.

At this moment, the Xiang force fluctuations emanating from Li Luo's body also rose steadily.

The golden light faded, transforming into glazed crystal.

At this moment, Li Luo had finally completed the final forging of his semi-finished Glazed Crystal Slag Body and truly entered the Glazed Crystal Slag Body Realm.

Yet his cultivation had not ended; Li Luo continued to draw in water and fire energy from the pool, for merely achieving the Glazed Crystal Slag Body was not his ultimate goal—his ambition was the Three-Light Glazed Crystal!

And so, half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

As increasingly dense water and fire energy surged forth, Li Luo's body was half covered in flames, half submerged in flowing water, appearing utterly wondrous.

Under the continuous tempering of "water and fire energy," Li Luo's glazed crystal-like skin gradually changed, as if a glazed crystal vessel placed within a high-temperature furnace was slowly undergoing another transformation.

The most obvious change was the emergence of a mysterious light within the pure glazed crystal luster.

This light was difficult to describe in words, for it was not a simple color, but a refraction effect born when the Glazed Crystal Body was tempered to an extreme degree.

Thus, combined with its original glazed crystal light, Li Luo's body now radiated dual lights—a feat few prodigies, even across the Outer Shenzhou, could achieve.

Yet Li Luo did not stop; he continued using "water and fire energy" to forge his body, clearly unwilling to settle for this.

"This younger cousin of mine has lofty aspirations."

Li Li Lingjing, watching from afar, noted this scene—normally, achieving dual-light status in the Glazed Crystal Slag Body was enough to make even top prodigies rejoice and be satisfied, yet Li Luo still sought to advance further.

This showed Li Luo's deep confidence in his own foundation; clearly, during his Slag Palace stage, he had accumulated an astonishing number of Earth Slag Mystic Lights.

As she thought this, Li Li Lingjing continued watching in silence.

As time passed, the dual-light hues swirling on Li Luo's body grew increasingly refined and pure, yet the third light remained just one step away, unable to coalesce.

It seemed he still lacked the final spark.

Li Li Lingjing watched this scene, paused in thought, then spoke: "Younger Cousin Li Luo, crush a mature Flame Infant Holy Fruit and soak it in the Water-Fire Miracle Pool."

Her voice reached Li Luo's ears; at this moment, he too sensed the elusive third light and knew he was only one step away—so upon hearing Li Li Lingjing's reminder, he activated his intent, and a golden infant fruit fell from his spatial sphere, caught between his palms.

Puff!

With a squeeze of his palms, the Flame Infant Holy Fruit shattered instantly, its golden liquid dripping down into the pool.

Xiong Xiong!

As the juice of the Flame Infant Holy Fruit flowed, the nearby water and fire instantly flared up, intertwining like two coiling serpents, wrapping around Li Luo's body, relentlessly refining and cleansing him.

The entire pool now radiated intense golden light.

The golden light was peculiar, as if golden patterns had surfaced—dense, intricate runes, profoundly mysterious.

Golden light continuously poured over Li Luo's body, making the glazed crystal luster he emitted increasingly pure and clear.

And when the tempering of this glazed crystal body reached its extreme limit, the change Li Luo had long awaited finally arrived as expected.

The Glazed Crystal Body, like a spiritual form, spotless and pure, allowed Xiang force to flow within it and rub against the glazed crystal form, refracting forth another wondrous light.

The next instant, light streamed across Li Luo's body, radiating in three hues.

The Three-Light Glazed Crystal was truly formed at this moment.

As the Three-Light Glazed Crystal appeared, intricate, ancient light patterns formed on the surface of Li Luo's skin—patterns that seemed naturally born, radiating an inexplicable aura.

Li Luo's Xiang force also strengthened at this moment.

For now, he had truly entered the third realm of the Slag Body Realm—the Glazed Crystal Slag Body!

And not just any Glazed Crystal Slag Body, but the highest quality: the Three-Light Glazed Crystal!

Within the Water-Fire Miracle Pool, Li Luo opened his eyes; within them, three lights flowed, profoundly wondrous, and as he sensed his body, undisguised joy surged across his face.

"Is this the Three-Light Glazed Crystal?"

Li Luo examined his body with delight, seeing now that his skin emitted a luminous white glow, like spotless glazed crystal; with this body formed, he felt his connection to the energy of heaven and earth had grown even more harmonious.

Even without activating the Slag Refining Art, as his pores opened and closed, streams of heavenly energy flowed into his body through every pore.

The sensation of bliss made him want to moan aloud.

Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself.

"Congratulations. With the Three-Light Glazed Crystal achieved, your foundation is now solid, and your future prospects are boundless," Li Li Lingjing's voice came at this moment.

She drew closer, her gaze scanning Li Luo's body, which still emitted a faint exotic fragrance, a flicker of envy passing through her eyes.

Achieving the Three-Light Glazed Crystal meant his foundation, built from the very beginning of his Xiang Master path, was exceptionally firm—such an accomplishment was exceedingly rare even among the young prodigies of Outer Shenzhou.

Li Luo could barely contain his joy; this journey into the Dark Domain had yielded far more than he'd expected. With the Three-Light Glazed Crystal, he had finally caught up in raw power to top prodigies like Li Li Qingfeng and Lu Lu Qingmei.

Li Luo sensed his Glazed Crystal Slag Body and began to familiarize himself with its abilities.

After a moment, he gained sudden insight; with a thought, a ring of light appeared on his body's surface—the ring displayed three mysterious hues, guarding his form, radiating unmistakable defensive power.

This was the innate ability of the Three-Light Glazed Crystal: the Three-Colored Ring.

This ring perpetually guarded him; even if Li Luo fell unconscious, it would autonomously activate its protective function, enduring as long as his Xiang force had not been fully depleted.

In essence, this ring greatly enhanced Li Luo's survivability.

In addition, there was one Mi Fa.

Li Luo glanced at the faintly visible glazed crystal light patterns on his skin—three patterns, hidden beneath the surface, nearly imperceptible.

These were the Three-Light Divine Patterns.

These patterns enhanced the body; once activated, the Glazed Crystal Slag Body would strengthen further, causing his overall power to surge dramatically, granting him an overwhelming advantage in battle.

With these two extraordinary arts in hand, Li Luo's combat power had surged compared to before his breakthrough!

A satisfied smile appeared on Li Luo's face; this journey into the Dark Domain had finally granted him the capital to compete for the Twenty-Flag Dragon Chief.
