Chapter 1020 Flame Pool Palace

With the method of Qing Feng, they passed the Forging Palace smoothly.

The thousand-meter-long forging road had cost a total of fifty pieces of divine materials.

Fortunately, Li Mu had been to many relics and divine places before, so he gave Qing Feng a lot of divine materials, which were enough to be used.

This experience had given many people a new understanding of the major palaces of the Athanasia Immortal Palace. They also had a new understanding of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, who had died a long time ago.

After half an hour, the group arrived at the fourth palace.

Standing at the door of the fourth palace and looking inside, everyone reacted in an instant and thought the scene was similar to the small dock that they had seen before.

The fourth palace had raging flames. The flames were surging like ocean waves in a strange color. At first glance, the scene looked like the magma of the Earth Fire that everyone had walked through before they arrived at the Athanasia Immortal Palace.

On the plaque at the top of the main entrance were written some words — Flame Pool Palace.

“It seems that the palace is burning with all kinds of flames that the Cosmic Emperor Deathless used to refine weapons, so it is called the Flame Pool.” This time, the Sword Fanatic took the lead to say, “This time, I didn’t say it wrong, did I? The Forging Palace is used to refine essences. After getting the essence, they should be melted with flames. This Flame Pool Palace should be the place where the Cosmic Emperor Deathless used to refine raw essences.”

Zhuge Yun nodded and said, “That’s right. But the flames here must be more terrifying than the magma of the Earth Fire that we’ve seen before. Weapon Refiners usually choose Divine Fires or strange fires in the world instead of ordinary fires to refine weapons. The palace is called the Flame Pool Palace. It must have been used by the Cosmic Emperor Deathless to store and use the Divine Fires and strange fires. Some flames can even burn an emperor to death.”

“Even an emperor could be burned to death.”

Everyone’s hearts trembled.

If some flame could even burn an emperor to death, wouldn’t that mean that everyone here could be burned to ashes? Flames were everywhere in the Flame Pool Palace. How could they pass it?

Everyone looked at Zhuge Yun.

Zhuge Yun released several alchemy items in succession into the Flame Pool Palace, but they were soon burned into ashes or liquid. Even the metal boat that had carried everyone through the sea of magma was burned into a ball of liquid and sank into the depths of the Flame Pool.

Everyone gasped.

“What the hell is going on?”

However, inspired by what had happened in the Forging Palace, everyone began to think if there was any hidden secret in the Flame Pool. Once they reveal the mystery, it would not be difficult for them to get through the Flame Pool Palace.

“Should we still have to offer sacrifices?”

The Sword Lunatic took out a piece of immortal gold of yellow sands and threw it into the Flame Pool Palace.

Grunting!

A bubble appeared in the lava.

Then there was no other movement.

“Damn it.” The Sword Fanatic felt down.

A piece of valuable immortal gold of yellow sands was wasted.

Obviously, this approach was incorrect.

“What is that?”

Yuan Hou pointed at the depths of the palace.

Everyone looked over and saw several slices of strange white shales floating above the sea of fire in the Flame Pool. They moved neither fast nor slow, like duckweed floating in the water. The area of each slice of white shale was not large, probably only enough for one person to stand on.

“These shales haven’t been burned by flames. Maybe they can be the boats to pass the Flame Pool Palace.” Zhuge Yun’s eyes lit up.

Qing Feng also realized something and said, “Yes. It was impossible for the Cosmic Emperor Deathless to create the Protoss and forge all kinds of divine artifacts by himself. His subordinates must have been his assistants. It was not very important to refine the raw materials into embryos with the Divine Fires and the strange fires. The assistants could do it easily. But their cultivation level was no match for the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, so they might not be able to walk in the flames that could even burn some emperors to death. Therefore, they also needed some means of transportation.”

Zhuge Yun smiled and said, “Yes. We have the same thought. These floating white shales unaffected by the flames were the means of transportation for the assistants of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless in the Flame Pool. In this case, they can help us get through the Flame Pool Palace.”

Both of them laughed.

There was a sense of sympathy in their laughter.

In the end, under Zhuge Yun’s guidance, a general of the Military of Man named Wang Chenzhou made an attempt. He was the first to step on a piece of shale floating at the entrance of the Flame Pool Palace. The piece of shale looked as if it would collapse at any time, but it was extremely stable. It slowly floated toward the depths of the Flame Pool Palace with Wang Chenzhou.

In the end, the result of the test was that the method was feasible.

Therefore, everyone did the same thing. Each of them chose a piece of shale. They floated toward the depths of the Flame Pool Palace as if surfing.

“It’s like surfing.”

Ming Yue was very excited.

The adorkable girl turned into a restless girl. She was interested in a thrilling event.

Li Mu paid attention to the changes around him.

The temperature, flames, and colors of different areas in the Flame Pool Palace were all different. They seemed to be whole, but in fact, they were composed of different kinds of Divine Fires and strange fires. Through the white shales, Li Mu could feel that the temperature of the flames below changed with the change of color.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but there were some areas extremely cold. The faint black flames were like mysterious ice tens of thousands of years old. Was coldness also a kind of flame power?

Li Mu didn’t know much about it.

Just like that, the group of people staggered to the center of the Flame Pool Hall as if floating on water.

All of a sudden, strange sounds of surging water could be heard.

“Everyone, be careful.”

The Sword Fanatic stood up and shouted.

Everyone’s hearts tightened, looking towards him.

“Maybe something bad is going to happen.” The Sword Fanatic said immediately.

Everyone immediately covered their foreheads with their hands.

“Aren’t he talking nonsense?

“What kind of bad thing is this?

“Make it clear.

“If you don’t know, don’t make a fuss, okay?”

Li Mu had no strength to complain about his Third Brother who liked to show off. When Li Mu was about to say something, suddenly, something strange happened.

Streams of fire suddenly spurted out from the sea of fire below without warning, carrying a powerful and chaotic air.

“Oh, no.” Li Mu exclaimed.

Under the influence of the fire pillars and the scorching hot violent energy, the white shales under everyone’s feet began to shake. Suddenly, the rhythm was disrupted, and these white shales completely lost their direction. Like the leaves on a rolling river, they floated in different directions.

“Be careful.”

As soon as Li Mu shouted, he found that the surroundings were empty. Zhuge Yun, the Sword Fanatic, Qing Feng, Ming Yue, Yuan Hou, Song Bie, and the others had already floated to unknown places.

“What is going on?”

Li Mu gasped. Actually, he had breathed scorching hot air.

It was so strange.

It was unusual.

In the blink of an eye, the others disappeared.

Could it be an Illusionary Deployment?

Now, they were in big trouble.

The shales’ floating route was feasible at first. It was only a matter of time before it floated from the front door to the back door of the Flame Pool Palace with them. But now…

If they were unlucky, they might drift here for the rest of their life.

“What’s going on, Chief? Where are you?”

Yuan Hou shouted, but there was no response.

Just now, when he looked back, he found that all the people around him were gone. No matter how hard he shouted, there was no response. It seemed that it was not an illusion.

Although Yuan Hou had gone through many fierce battles and desperate situations in the starry sky, he was still a little nervous at this time. Anyway, he was in the Athanasia Immortal Palace, a Holy Land built by an emperor. What he had seen and heard from the three palaces before made him know that this Flame Pool Palace was also extremely terrible. He might be burned to ashes if he was not careful.

However, Yuan Hou didn’t know that the more he feared, the more likely it was to happen.

Crack!

There was a slight cracking sound.

There was a hair-like crack in the white shale under his feet.

“No!”

Yuan Hou’s face turned pale.

Crack! Crack!

In the blink of an eye, the white shale shattered into pieces.

Without the support, Yuan Hou suddenly felt an irresistible hot force sweeping over him, and his hair curled up and turned yellow. Originally, the white shale could isolate countless flames, but at this time, without protection, Yuan Hou kept falling. The flying power of the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method was useless.

Plop!

Yuan Hou fell into the orange flames.

Boom!

A terrifying flame ignited Yuan Hou like a dry stick thrown into a raging fire.

Even if Yuan Hou desperately ran the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method, it was of no use.

The orange flames were too terrifying. Yuan Hou only felt that his skin and flesh had been vaporized in tens of seconds. His body which he was proud of could not resist the unknown mysterious flames at all. In the blink of an eye, only his bones were left.

Yuan Hou felt he was dying.

“My life is over!”

Yuan Hou finally came up with such an idea.

Then, his consciousness was appearing.

However, at the last moment when Yuan Hou could control his body, he made a grasping gesture and held the divine weapon, the Heavenly Exclamation, that Li Mu gave him.

He didn’t expect that the action of holding the Golden Coiling Dragon Cudgel would bring him vitality.

The coiling dragons on it roared and circled. In the end, they swam out of the cudgel and wrapped Yuan Hou’s body. They quickly moved around Yuan Hou and finally turned into a ball of golden divine light, wrapping Yuan Hou.

Something strange happened.

In the golden light, layers of flesh and blood began to grow out of the bones of Yuan Hou. The flesh and blood slowly covered the bones and grew out layer by layer, eventually forming a new body.

The Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method had rebuilt his body.

After the golden light of the divine weapon Heavenly Exclamation protected his bones, the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method began to run again.

A moment later, Yuan Hou was rebuilt, and he returned to the state before he fell into the sea of fire.

However, the golden light only protected him and didn’t let him escape from the sea of fire.

The terrifying hot force, the omnipresent flames, converged toward the golden light and continued to affect the newly grown body of Yuan Hou through the golden light.

Yuan Hou opened his eyes with a pained look.

He could feel that the burning power of the flames around him had reached the limit of his new physical body but couldn’t break through this limit. He felt huge pain, but the fire didn’t burn and destroy his body again.

The strange golden light seemed to have wisdom, which could barely filter out the power of heat to the limit that Yuan Hou could reach.

In the golden light, two tiny golden dragons were swimming happily.

Yuan Hou forcibly suffered the pain and ran the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method to resist the heart-wrenching pain.

Pain was also a kind of cultivation.
