Chapter 199: Flame Fire Dragon King

Chen Mo surveyed the entire ice prison, then descended onto the body of one of the ice frost hounds.

This ice frost hound is the prison's "jail guard," and at the same time is an existence at the peak of the King Realm.

"Your Majesty!"

After sensing Chen Mo's consciousness, this ice frost hound became extremely excited.

In the Ice Lion Kingdom, although Chen Mo rarely shows his face, he has already become the spiritual faith of many beings, or rather, a totem.

"Take me to the prison that holds the Black Abyss Beetle."

Chen Mo spoke.

He still wanted to learn more precise information about the Black Abyss Insect Clan from this Black Abyss Beast's mouth.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The ice frost hound dashed madly and quickly arrived before the prison that holds the Black Abyss Beetle.

"Snort—"

Seeing the ice frost hound's silhouette, the Black Abyss Beetle let out a hiss.

However, its internal abyssal energy had been completely sealed; it was merely putting on a brave front.

Chen Mo wasted no words, directly releasing the Ice Illusion Technique.

Compared to the Ice Illusion Technique released by the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox, the Ice Illusion Technique Chen Mo released was more overbearing, able to directly read the memories of this Heavenly Disaster Realm Black Abyss Beetle.

Before the Black Abyss Beetle could even react, its consciousness had already been invaded by Chen Mo.

The Black Abyss Beetle's memories were quite chaotic, most of the time spent in dark, damp places.

Through the Black Abyss Beetle's memories, Chen Mo quickly confirmed that the so-called Ghost Eye Tribe Insect Mother was precisely the Black Abyss Insect Beast he had previously discovered in the Boundary Sea.

"It seems that planet is the world to which Blue Star exiled them."

"This world is close to Blue Star, and that insect mother could at any time make a comeback."

From the Black Abyss Beetle's memories, Chen Mo learned that, in order to invade Blue Star, the insect mother had turned this planet into one of the worlds occupied by the Black Abyss Insect Clan, having already made over a dozen attempts.

After this descent's Black Abyss Insect Beast was completely wiped out, the insect mother will surely think of other methods.

"This is a potential time bomb; no one knows when it will explode. The only way to deal with it is to keep strengthening oneself!"

Chen Mo thought to himself.

"It seems I must quickly complete the Self-Discipline Challenge of the Fire God Lion."

——————

Ice Phoenix Divine Hall.

After obtaining the information he wanted, Chen Mo ended the descent, and his consciousness returned to his main body.

Afterwards he mobilized the surrounding spatial spiritual power; countless silver lights converged, forming a vortex-shaped space transfer portal.

Chen Mo opened the space transfer portal once again.

He prepared to go to that fire-filled world of flames and magma to complete the Fire God Lion's Self-Discipline Challenge.

Because the space transfer portal Chen Mo currently opened is unstable, he cannot determine the precise landing point after teleportation.

He could only first roughly observe the various regions of this fire planet with his mind, so that after his descent he could roughly discern his location, thus avoiding getting lost.

After about half a day, Chen Mo roughly recorded each region of this fire planet.

And he made a rough division according to the supernatural beings inhabiting these regions.

For example, the Flame Giant Territory, Fire Dragon Mountain Range, Flame Butterfly Mountain Range, Molten Rock Ghost Fire Mountain Group, etc. The vast majority of supernatural beings on this fire planet seem to be organized by clan, rarely seeing multiple kinds of supernatural beings living together.

At this moment, Chen Mo's mind already had a rough map of this fire planet; after confirming he would not get lost, he opened the space transfer portal once again.

Using danger-forewarning detection, after confirming that entering the space transfer portal would not cause major accidents, he strode straight into the chaos within the space transfer portal.

The next second, a dazzling gold came into view.

This is the Boundary Sea, a special area that can directly reach other worlds.

Chen Mo felt his body light as a feather; in the Boundary Sea his speed seemed to become extremely fast, but all kinds of spiritual power within his body were temporarily "sealed" by some kind of rule's power.

In the Boundary Sea, it seems that releasing any arts is prohibited.

Without further thought, Chen Mo dashed toward the bubble membrane where the fire planet was located.

In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived above this fire planet.

Then he went straight through the bubble membrane.

Whoosh! After passing through this membrane-like structure, the next second Chen Mo felt his body plummeting at high speed, below was a striking red.

He actually appeared above ten thousand meters of this fire planet.

Even at ten thousand meters altitude, Chen Mo could clearly feel the scorching breath emanating from this planet, a mixture tinged with sulfur filling his entire nasal cavity.

Scorching heat waves surged toward him.

Chen Mo mobilized his internal ice spiritual power, generating an ice barrier around him.

Immediately thereafter, in midair Chen Mo conjured ice wings, quickly stabilized his form, and then dove toward the volcano directly below him.

This fire planet is almost entirely volcanoes, so Chen Mo also wasn't clear exactly where he had descended; he needed to see what supernatural beings lived near this volcano to determine.

Soon, Chen Mo steadily landed in the volcano's crater.

The ground was covered with scorched black land and rolling hot lava.

And around him appeared three King Realm Flame Fire Dragons.

This is a fire dragon not particularly large in size; including the tail, an ordinary King Realm Flame Fire Dragon's length is only about ten meters, making it a petite existence among the dragon clan.

The three Flame Fire Dragons before him had large heads, their bodies appeared somewhat thin, and their proportions did not look very coordinated.

They had crimson scales, with red flames occasionally bursting between the scales, making them look hot.

The three Flame Fire Dragons, seeing Chen Mo's diving scene, came to the crater with a "let me see what's happening" rubbernecking mentality.

As a result, they discovered that the being descending from the sky was actually a living creature, and moreover an ice lion with snow-white fur!? They could not sense the aura of this ice lion, but in their hearts an unparalleled great fear spontaneously arose.

The ice lion before them gave them an unprecedented sense of oppression!

They had only ever felt this kind of oppression from the Fire Dragon King before! Without hesitation, the three flame fire dragons exchanged a glance and then sprinted off in three different directions at high speed.

They just wanted to watch the excitement; they didn't want to be killed for no reason by such a powerful being.

Because of their inner fear, their flight posture appeared quite disheveled.

Chen Mo did not chase after the three flame fire dragons.

He himself is not a bloodthirsty and cruel character; these three flame fire dragons have not offended him, so he naturally has no reason to hunt them down.

Moreover, as an "outsider," Chen Mo still intended to keep a low profile.

Bullying these King Realm beings isn't very interesting. "This should be the Flame Fire Dragon Mountain Range. Among these flame fire dragons, there should be legendary individuals."

When Chen Mo previously acted as a "satellite" overlooking the entire flame planet, he had seen a flame fire dragon with golden scales and a length exceeding a hundred meters.

Preliminary judgment: it should be a legendary being.

It is also one of the few legendary existences on this planet.

However, whether it is low-tier legendary or middle-tier legendary is unknown.

【Fire God Lion】 has a total of three challenges.

The first challenge requires Chen Mo to soak in magma above 10,000 degrees for eight hours each day, lasting ninety days.

This challenge is not difficult; the key is perseverance.

This flame planet is everywhere with high-temperature magma; for example, the magma spewing from the volcanic crater where Chen Mo currently is, radiating bright light, already has a temperature close to 10,000 degrees.

Even if one cannot find magma of 10,000 degrees, catching a few heavenly-disaster-level flames or other flame beings and letting them spray magma onto oneself to take a "magma bath" will do.

There are still two challenges that are truly difficult.

One of them is to devour a legendary-tier or higher spiritual fire.

Spiritual fire is a strange fire between heaven and earth; each strand possesses power capable of destroying heaven and earth, and it can only appear in places where fire-element spiritual power is extremely abundant.

Heavenly-disaster-tier spiritual fire is already extremely rare, let alone legendary-tier spiritual fire.

Such spiritual fire even possesses power comparable to that of a legendary being, and likely also has self-awareness.

Although the fire-element spiritual power concentration on this flame planet is extremely high, it does not necessarily give birth to legendary-tier spiritual fire.

This depends solely on luck.

The other is to defeat a fire-element being at legendary realm middle tier or higher.

Since Chen Mo's advancement, he has not yet clashed with supernatural beings at legendary realm middle tier or higher.

He roughly estimates that his current combat power is about on par with legendary realm high-tier beings.

Of course, the specifics can only be known after fighting.

"Then let's first go find that Fire Dragon King and take a look! I hope it doesn't disappoint me."

Chen Mo thought as such, then flapped his wings, shot up into the sky, and flew swiftly westward.

According to the map in his memory, that Flame Fire Dragon King is located at the westernmost point of the Fire Dragon Mountain Range.

Meanwhile, the three flame fire dragons that had just been scared away by Chen Mo were also racing westward at high speed.

Having successfully escaped, they seemed to have thought of something terrifying, and thus flew toward the resting place of the Flame Fire Dragon King.

What the flame fire dragons pride themselves on most is their speed; when flying in the sky, they are like a blazing sun moving at high speed.

In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the base of an extremely towering volcano.

This volcano actually spews out golden magma, whose temperature has reached an astonishing tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.

Even these King Realm flame fire dragons dare not lightly touch it.

The entire volcano is silent except for the sound of flowing and bursting magma.

Here, there are hardly any other flame fire dragons to be seen.

Although flame fire dragons usually live together as a clan in one area and jointly respond when foreign enemies invade,

but they are not gregarious creatures; often a single area contains a male and female pair of flame fire dragons.

And the Flame Fire Dragon King slumbers in this ultra-high-temperature flame before them, spending most of its time absorbing fire energy from the magma.

It only occasionally emerges to patrol its territory or seek food.

However, earlier, an evil creature suddenly appeared in the lava turtle territory beside the flame fire dragons' territory; it likewise looked like a dragon, but its body was covered in black scales, emitting an evil and terrifying aura.

In an extremely short time, it transformed many lava turtles into evil beings.

The flame fire dragons call it the "Black Demon Dragon."

Just a month ago, this Black Demon Dragon even defeated and subdued a legendary realm lava giant turtle! This made the Flame Fire Dragon King feel uneasy, almost summoning all the fire dragons to discuss countermeasures.

Afterward, the Flame Fire Dragon King directly went deep into the volcano and entered closed-door cultivation.

On the rare occasions it ventures out, the Flame Fire Dragon King appears extremely irritable, madly spewing the scorching flames within its body.

Therefore, unless the situation is especially urgent, the flame fire dragons really do not want to awaken their king.

But this time, the white-haired ice lion they saw is very likely the same kind of existence as that black dragon!

After all, in this pure flame world, everything besides flame beings is an alien species!

So after the three flame fire dragons reacted, they decided to report this situation to the Flame Fire Dragon King.

"Roar!" (The unicorn, the task of reporting to the Fire Dragon Boss is left to you.) One with a large head and somewhat bulky body, the fat dragon said to the flame fire dragon beside it that has only a single horn on its head:

"This information is very important; maybe the Fire Dragon Boss will even give you a reward!"

"Roar!!" (Then why aren't you going? Keep the reward for yourself!) The unicorn fire dragon said with an unhappy expression.

"I don't need it. You go instead!"

"You guys can go sleep with whoever you like; anyway, I'm not going."

The three flame fire dragons argued at the volcano's base over who should go make the report.

After all, the "Fire Dragon Boss" they speak of now has become quite irritable; although it's not life-threatening, they simply do not want to face alone the Flame Fire Dragon King, whose supernatural level far exceeds theirs and who is currently in a "maternal uncle" state.

Finally, these three flamefire dragons, in a manner similar to a "black-and-white match", decided on the final dragon that would convey the message to the "Fire Dragon King".

The selected one was indeed the single-horn flamefire dragon.

It bore a grimace, preparing to head to the volcano's mouth with a mindset of "regarding death as homecoming", when a stern voice echoed from within——

"Since you all don't want to go, let me go and tell them for you?"

"Roar!" (Good!) the single-horn flamefire dragon replied instinctively, turning its head with a face full of joy, only to see the very figure it least wanted to see at that moment.

It was none other than the ice lion that had previously exuded a terrifying aura!! "Roar!?"

The single-horn flamefire dragon was terrified beyond measure; it never expected this ice lion to appear here!

Could it be that this ice lion had been following them all along? Chen Mo, while searching for the flamefire dragons, quickly managed to get lost.

In this world, volcanoes are everywhere, making it almost impossible to find any familiar landmarks from memory.

Subsequently, Chen Mo unexpectedly discovered that the three flamefire dragons he had previously scared away were now flying westward at an astonishing speed, appearing very hurried.

Chen Mo speculated that they likely wanted to convey information about himself to the Flamefire Dragon King.

Thus, with a mindset of "trying our luck", he followed them, only to find that his guess was actually correct!
