Main Text Chapter 413: The Fragment is in Hand

Boom~

The Flame Monarch was enormous; upon jumping in, it instantly squeezed out a large part of the volcano's magma.

Magma sprayed everywhere, the effect nearly identical to a volcanic eruption.

Even Xiao Feng, the master, was soaked in magma, his whole body immersed, taking real damage and losing HP while also recovering HP from the flame burns.

Well… I took a super‑hot 'hot bath'!

"Master, you're getting more and more powerful…"

He Er Na avoided the flying magma in the air, watching Xiao Feng relaxingly soak in the magma, and inwardly marveled.

The divine envoys were utterly speechless at the Flame Monarch's display.

Who would have thought an adventurer could summon such a huge creature?

This Flame Monarch, no exaggeration… its aura rivals that of the Blaze Chief God!

The Flame Monarch submerged in the magma flailed about beneath it, feeling around randomly.

The item was hard to find; after roughly forty seconds, it extended its massive hand and slowly opened it.

In the palm lay a metal fragment about two fingers wide and four or five long, combined with the Flame Monarch's rough palm, like a mosquito wing on a normal person's palm—almost imperceptible.

"Well done!"

Xiao Feng snatched up the divine artifact fragment.

Whoosh~

The Flame Monarch instantly dissipated, vanishing into the magma.

The volcano's mouth contracted downward, then surged back up, nearly causing an eruption.

【5# Blade Fragment】: A blade fragment of a mysterious treasure sword.

Xiao Feng checked the fragment's details, confirmed it was the divine artifact piece he needed, and quickly stored it in his spatial divine ring to keep it from being taken.

"The fourth fragment belongs to adventurer Xiao Feng; everyone, disperse. Tomorrow we'll see where the new fragment appears." said the Blaze Divine Envoy.

Only one divine artifact fragment appears per day; there's no point in staying longer.

Xiao Feng displayed great strength; these divine envoys dared not offend him, and upon seeing him take the fragment, they all tactfully withdrew.

"Congratulations, Master, you've obtained another fragment."

He Er Na's voice rang in his mind, unspoken.

Xiao Feng replied in his mind: "The divine envoys still don't know I have fragment #1 and the sword hilt in my hand; these days we'll keep an eye on them, trying to seize the rest. This way, only three fragments won't be in my possession, making the difficulty

much smaller."

"Sure, I'll do my best to help you, Master!" He Er Na said.

Players refer to blade fragments as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3.

But to NPC gods, it's just a fragment without numbers, so no one knows how many have appeared.

If we seize all later‑appearing fragments, we can acquire the three earlier ones by force or trade.

When all fragments are united, they will form a true divine artifact!

"Master, the matter here is settled; shall we head back?" He Er Na asked.

"No, not in a hurry; I want to go see my master."

Xiao Feng replied.

Lately he's either been cultivating or busy; it's been a long time since he came to the Earth Core Lake to chat with Master La Luo Na Er.

Having come here with difficulty, he naturally can't just ignore it and run off.

"Your master?" He Er Na, hearing this, was slightly surprised and quickly said: "Then I'll come along to pay a visit. To cultivate a magical genius like you, Master must be a remarkable person."

"He's quite formidable, though his cultivation isn't as high as yours." Xiao Feng replied.

The two flew out of the volcano and headed toward the nearby Earth Core Lake.

Upon entering the underground space of the Earth Core Lake, He Er Na exclaimed in astonishment: "What a rich earth‑vein destructive force! If this power burst forth, it would be even more terrifying than that volcano just now."

"Yes, the Earth Core Lake is actually a chain of volcanoes; the surrounding basin of thirty‑odd kilometers is all volcanic vents, though they're not visible usually." Xiao Feng replied.

From an aerial view, the area around the Earth Core Lake appears as a massive volcano.

Because the volcano is huge but its base is low, being inside makes it hard to notice.

The eruption of that volcano just now would only destroy the western part of Blaze City.

But an eruption of the Earth Core Lake would be even worse; not only would Blaze City's territory suffer, but neighboring Storm City would also have a large area affected.

Precisely for this reason, La Luo Na Er's merit in suppressing the earth veins qualifies him to be noticed by the Human Divine King.

The two quickly arrived near the bedrock at the bottom of the Earth Core Lake.

"Master, I've come to see you!" Xiao Feng flew down and shouted.

La Luo Na Er was a bit drowsy at the moment.

Seeing him arrive, he couldn't help but show a kind smile.

Smelly

you little rascal… Oh my, you've become a demigod already—how fast!

Upon discovering that Xiao Feng had become a demigod, he couldn't help but show a delighted expression.

"Yes, I've been tempering my will lately and finally broke through. By the way, Master, this is He Er Na, island master of the Wind Spirit Island in the Divine Realm, my good friend."

Xiao Feng introduced the two.

"Huh! This is… the aura of an Upper God!"

Noticing He Er Na's exceptionally strong aura, La Luo Na Er sprang to his feet, his face showing surprise.

"Hello, Mister Mage." He Er Na greeted politely.

She is over a thousand years old, older than La Luo Na Er, so she is not called 'old'.

"Flame Cultivator La Luo Na Er has seen the Upper God!" La Luo Na Er performed a salute, his attitude humble, his demeanor very respectful.

Facing the Upper God, beings of the lower realm are usually especially reverent, and many will directly kneel.

Compared to others, he is already quite calm.

He Er Na returned the salute, saying, "You master and disciple chat; just pretend I'm not here."

"Uh..."

It's impossible not to notice such a great Upper God placed here.

However, La Luo Na Er was still curious and couldn't help asking Xiao Feng, "Child, where did you meet the Upper God? This is an Upper God, a being of high status even in the 24 God Country!"

Xiao Feng grinned, moved closer, and whispered, "Master, to be frank, she is my little follower, already beaten into submission by me, now wholeheartedly obeying my commands."

Although the voice was soft, everyone present was a strong cultivator and heard it clearly.

He Er Na's facial expression was somewhat unnatural; she could only pretend not to have heard.

Xiao Feng did not say the words 'contract maid,' preserving He Er Na's dignity as an Upper God.

But the desire to show off could not be contained, so he used 'little follower' to describe her.

"Hiss! Little follo..."

Upon hearing that, La Luo Na Er sucked in a breath of cold air.

An Upper God serving as a disciple's little follower!

What tremendous face must that be!

Even the Chief God is no more than this!

"You brat, how did you manage that?" he asked in a lowered voice, incredulous.

Xiao Feng hehe laughed, "Of course, thanks to my overbearing invincible magic and my handsome, suave appearance."
