Chapter 200: Legendary Battle! The Flame Fire Dragon King's Hidden Grievance

"Roar!"

The moment they saw the Ice Lion, the three Flame Fire Dragons unhesitatingly flew toward the volcano's crater.

Waking the Fire Dragon Lord would cost them at most a layer of skin.

But if they stayed here, they would very likely die! Chen Mo was in no hurry, still following unhurriedly behind them.

The three Flame Fire Dragons reached the volcano's crater, then leaped down, diving straight into the boiling magma.

Chen Mo, meanwhile, mobilized his ice-type origin spiritual power and wrapped himself in an ice barrier.

It wasn't that his body couldn't withstand the magma's high temperature, but rather that he disliked that hot, sticky feeling.

After entering the volcano's interior through the crater's magma, Chen Mo discovered that the inside wasn't entirely magma; most areas were in a vacuum state.

But the sheer heat permeating the air alone was enough to instantly incinerate any King-realm creature (except fire-type creatures) into ashes.

And amid the churning golden magma, Chen Mo soon found the target of his search—

the Flame Fire Dragon King.

This fire dragon was even larger than he had imagined.

Including its tail, its body might exceed 200 meters, making it an absolute giant among the Flame Fire Dragon race!

Those three King-realm Flame Fire Dragons before it looked like toys, not even half the size of this big fellow's head!

The Flame Fire Dragon King's scales were a dazzling gold, with a hint of deep red at the edges, appearing majestic and full of power.

At this moment, most of this giant dragon's body was submerged in the boiling magma, leaving only a small part of its back and its tail exposed to the air.

Surrounding the Flame Fire Dragon King was a kind of golden flame, a flame that even made Chen Mo feel a hint of threat.

Soon, Chen Mo obtained the Flame Fire Dragon King's panel information—

【Flame Fire Dragon King (Male)】

【Level: Mid Legendary】

【Physique: 8.21w】

【Agility: 9.23w】

【Strength: 8.19w】

【Spirit: 7.13w】

【Abilities: Flame Charge, Flame Dragon Breath, Explosive Magma, Scorch, Sunfire.】

【Comprehensive Combat Power: 682w-823w】

This Flame Fire Dragon King's comprehensive combat power was astonishing, even slightly stronger than the Poison Algae Crocodile King encountered earlier in the Snow Domain! Its maximum comprehensive combat power reached a terrifying 823w! Chen Mo's own maximum comprehensive combat power was only just over 900w, and that was the result of the dual enhancement from multiple self-discipline titles and the mythical beast Suanni bloodline!

Even stranger was the 1.5 million difference between its minimum and maximum combat power.

This was very odd.

Normally, a Legendary realm creature's own power state is very stable; a difference of 500,000 is already an exaggerated number.

This Flame Fire Dragon King's state was off!

But the good news was—this Flame Fire Dragon King was a mid-Legendary fire-type creature!

It perfectly matched one of the conditions in the 【Fire God Lion】 self-discipline challenge! "Roar!!"

"Roar!"

The other three Flame Fire Dragons let out loud roars, trying to awaken the Flame Fire Dragon King.

Only by waking the Dragon King before them could they have a sliver of hope! The massive figure submerged in the magma slowly unfurled its wings, causing the surrounding lava to burst and splatter, and then this behemoth suddenly opened its eyes.

They were a pair of deep red vertical pupils, just like boiling magma.

The Flame Fire Dragon King was awakened.

To be precise—

It wasn't awakened by the roars of these three King-realm Flame Fire Dragons, but by sensing Chen Mo's presence.

Chen Mo hadn't concealed his aura, so the moment he entered the crater, the Flame Fire Dragon King detected his existence.

A Legendary realm creature's perception of danger was naturally sharper.

As a fellow Legendary realm existence, the Flame Fire Dragon King could naturally feel the threat emanating from Chen Mo.

"Roar!" (Boss Fire Dragon, this white-furred lion is also a visitor from beyond the sky, just like that black dragon before. He might pose a huge threat to our territory, so we came immediately to report this to you.) The single-horned Flame Fire Dragon roared, beginning its report.

A flicker of fear passed through its eyes.

After all, it was they who had led the "enemy" here.

"Roar!"

Yet the Flame Fire Dragon King, as if not hearing their voices, let out a deafening roar.

The dragon's roar was filled with irritability and impatience, along with boundless fury.

Then, without any warning, this fire dragon suddenly beat its wings and transformed into a meteor burning with golden flame, charging at Chen Mo.

Flame Charge!

"Just what I wanted!"

Seeing the Flame Fire Dragon King attack him without a word, Chen Mo likewise responded with a deafening roar.

Battle! Originally, he had only wanted to initiate a "touch-and-go" challenge with this Flame Fire Dragon King.

If possible, Chen Mo had even planned to use a "gourmet tactic," trying to recruit this Flame Fire Dragon King under his command.

With the boost from 【Chef Lion】, his culinary skills had reached unprecedented heights, and the food he now made could almost conquer the taste buds of any supernatural creature.

After all, even the once aloof Sky Canopy Ice Spider couldn't resist the extraordinary dishes he prepared.

Not to mention that this fire planet was clearly a culinary wasteland.

As long as he made a few fire-type extraordinary dishes, he could probably "tame" this Flame Fire Dragon King.

Then he could fight a "fixed match" and complete the self-discipline challenge.

As it turned out, I never expected this Flamefire Dragon King to have any intention of communicating; without any probing, it launched the fiercest attack right away! "Xuan Nie's Pupil!"

Chen Mo silently chanted in his heart, and golden light burst from his golden pupils.

The next second, blinding heavenly light descended from the sky, shooting toward the Flamefire Dragon King at the speed of light!

Boom! A pillar of light bursting with extreme white light fell, carrying destructive energy that could annihilate everything, like a heavenly punishment, seeming to erase the entire volcano.

Facing this light-speed attack, even if the Flamefire Dragon King were faster, it could not dodge.

At the critical moment, the Flamefire Dragon King completely energized its entire body, truly turning into a mass of burning golden flame! Amid the dazzling white light, the whole world fell into silence.

The heavenly punishment's white light appeared quickly and dissipated just as quickly.

The next second, the white light faded, and this towering volcano had already lost half of its mass.

At the center, an enormous pit appeared, a hundred meters in diameter and several kilometers deep.

The hard rock, together with the magma, was shattered by this dazzling white light, reduced to nothing.

The Flamefire Dragon King once again shifted from a mass of golden flame back to its original fire dragon form.

Seeing that many of its dragon scales were directly shattered, what flowed out was not blood but golden flame! Even though it had turned into a pure flame form, it still suffered damage from the white light pillar. Although it was wounded by the Xuan Nie before it with just a single strike, the Flamefire Dragon King's crimson-gold eyes showed no fear; instead, they were filled with high fighting spirit and an inexplicable excitement and pleasure?

Roar!

The Flamefire Dragon King let out a high-pitched dragon roar, whipping up wind and flames, and rushed toward Chen Mo again.

"Then let's compare our close-combat abilities."

Chen Mo did not continue using Xuan Nie's Pupil; instead, he used 【Phantom Concealment】 to change his size to match that of the Flamefire Dragon King.

The Flamefire Dragon King's speed was extreme; in less than half a second it appeared before Chen Mo.

First came a burst of scorching dragon breath, then it instantly turned into golden flames that lunged at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo first sidestepped to dodge the dragon breath, then swung his wings, simultaneously dodging the Flamefire Dragon King's charge and striking back with the Profound Ice Claw.

What surprised Chen Mo was——

His attack was likewise dodged by the Flamefire Dragon King.

This Flamefire Dragon King's reaction and speed were equally astonishing!

Roar!

After missing its strike, the Flamefire Dragon King spat out a golden fireball that flew toward Chen Mo.

Immediately followed another round of close-quarters combat!

A lion and a dragon collided in midair, grappling and pursuing each other.

After the bout, Chen Mo discovered that this Flamefire Dragon King's abilities were extremely lopsided.

Its speed was quite astonishing, even on par with his, but its strength and spirit were far inferior to his.

Besides this, the flames on this fire dragon's body made Chen Mo feel quite troublesome.

This golden flame's temperature was extremely high, and it was filled with some destructive power; even Chen Mo's current physical strength could not directly withstand this golden flame! The Flamefire Dragon King seemed to have discovered its advantage, making good use of it, seemingly willing to risk its life to get close to Chen Mo.

Although its strength was not equal to Chen Mo's, relying on this golden flame it fought him to a standstill.

Of course, part of the reason was that Chen Mo had not gone all out.

Abilities similar to the domains 【Cease War】 and 【Suppress Evil】 were not used; he simply relied on his own physical strength.

It was rare to encounter an evenly matched opponent; Chen Mo wanted to further hone his 'Xuan Nie Combat Method'.

"Could it be that the golden flame on this Flamefire Dragon King's body is a legendary-grade spiritual fire?"

Thinking this, Chen Mo felt a faint excitement in his heart.

If it truly were a legendary-grade spiritual fire, then the two most difficult challenges of the 【Fire God Lion】 could be completed in one go!

This Flamefire Dragon King before him could be said to be a great help.

Half an hour later.

The area around this volcano had become quite tragic due to the battle between the two beasts.

However, the battle had not yet ended.

The flames on the Flamefire Dragon King's body not only did not dim from the prolonged battle, but became even more vigorous and fierce.

Even its golden vertical pupils seemed to have flames burning within.

The spiritual energy reserves within this Flamefire Dragon King could be described as astonishing!

"Then let's first lower your temperature!"

After the exchange, Chen Mo had had his fill of fighting; he decided not to hold back, and with thunderous momentum first take down this fire dragon before anything else.

Nine upgraded deadly poison flying swords shot out simultaneously, turning into nine streaks of green light that flew toward the Flamefire Dragon King.

Besides that, Chen Mo mobilized his internal ice spiritual power and also released 【Absolute Zero】.

Whoosh! A frigid wind surged, and snowflakes swept across the sky.

Although this area was a volcano, at the moment 【Absolute Zero】 was released—

Within a 5-kilometer radius, all boiling surging magma instantly cooled, and the golden flames were instantly extinguished.

An endless blizzard swept over this area.

In just one second, the volcano turned into a snow mountain.

This is the power Chen Mo now possesses; he can easily create heavenly disasters.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Together with the Flamefire Dragon King flying in midair.

The surface of this fire dragon's body was coated with a thick layer of white frost, and it began to fall from the sky.

However, what Chen Mo did not expect was——

In less than a second, golden flame patterns appeared on the Flamefire Dragon King's back, abdomen, skull, and every scale.

Then the cold frost on the Flamefire Dragon King's body completely dissipated, accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar, and the fire dragon king spread its wings and soared again! Under the domain of Absolute Zero, although the Flamefire Dragon King's speed was reduced, it was not greatly affected.

It could still move freely! At the same time, all the magma inside the volcano surged upward, yet like an inverted crimson waterfall it rushed toward the Flame Fire Dragon King.

It was not that this fire dragon had broken through the control of 【Absolute Zero】.

Rather, the heat it emitted was so astonishing that it could never reach the temperature of true Absolute Zero.

What surprised Chen Mo even more was——

After regaining mobility, this Flame Fire Dragon King did not choose to leave the Absolute Zero zone; instead, it showed a pleased expression and continuously spewed fire from its mouth.

It seemed to completely ignore Chen Mo! 'What the hell is going on with this guy?'

Chen Mo felt a bit dazed, using the Observation Lion ability to glance again at the Flame Fire Dragon King's attribute panel, only to find its lowest comprehensive combat power kept rising! The Flame Fire Dragon King had never felt so comfortable!

Earlier, to deal with that suddenly appearing evil-spreading black dragon, the Flame Fire Dragon King risked swallowing the Fire Dragon Heart deep within this volcano.

This is a legendary-grade treasure, even approaching totem-grade.

It is also the supreme treasure of the Flame Fire Dragon Clan.

Formed from the condensation of countless Flame Fire Dragon crystals and fire.

The deep part of this volcano where the Flame Fire Dragon King slumbers is actually the 'graveyard' of the Flame Fire Dragons.

It is said that the ancestor of the Flame Fire Dragons was born in the depths of this volcano; many Flame Fire Dragons, when sensing their lives are about to end, enter the volcano's depths, entering the planet's core region.

They take it as their final resting place.

Their flames and power all merge into the Fire Dragon Heart.

With the accumulation of countless generations of fire dragons, the Fire Dragon Heart has already amassed an immense amount of fire energy—so vast that even a mid-stage Legendary Realm Flame Fire Dragon King cannot withstand it!

After swallowing the Fire Dragon Heart, it nearly burst from the violent fire energy inside! The fire energy within the Fire Dragon Heart is truly enormous and violent—it is the condensed essence left behind by tens of millions of Flame Fire Dragons after death.

The Flame Fire Dragon King expended nearly all its strength, and only after a narrow escape did it barely suppress the energy within the Fire Dragon Heart.

Afterward, the Flame Fire Dragon King sank into slumber within the volcano, hoping to gradually digest that energy.

But this fire energy is like a time bomb, erupting every few days, causing it to feel a burning sensation and pain from inside out.
