From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 232 - 227: Heavenly Fire Flood Dragon

Deep within the underground melt cave, magma churned endlessly, emitting boundless light and heat, like liquid fire raging.

The air was permeated with the pungent smell of sulfur, with thick smoke swirling about, stinging one’s eyes painfully, making it nearly impossible for ordinary mortals to approach this area.

Li Quanqing opened his Spiritual Eyes, and immediately spotted a Flood Dragon skeleton bobbing in the magma.

At the forehead of the Flood Dragon skeleton, the heavenly spirit cover was broken open, revealing a garishly red flower in bloom amidst a shower of fire rain.

A Top Grade Fire Spirit Stone was rooted there, incredibly lustrous and fiery red, emitting a glow that rivaled a small sun.

Li Quanqing ordered the Jade Qilin Beast to stay put; unknown dangers could still be lurking around, and he walked toward the Fire Spirit Stone, preparing to take it with him.

"Yin!!"

As he approached, the intense life essence emanating from him suddenly disturbed the long-slumbering skeleton.

Nourished by the magma and malicious spirit of the earth’s veins, the entire Flood Dragon skeleton had transformed into a death creature similar to a White Bone Puppet, drawing immense Spiritual Energy from the Fire Spirit Stone as its energy source.

From the dragon’s skull, two flames ignited in the eye sockets, burning fiercely. Its massive body wriggled and slowly stretched out its upper half.

Magma flowed like waterfalls off its skeletal frame, then shattered into pieces, its heat seeming capable of igniting everything.

Compared to this enormous mountain-like Flood Dragon, Li Quanqing seemed as minute as a speck of dust, suspended above the vast melt cave.

"Since you have passed away, why persist in haunting this place? Let the dust return to dust."

Facing this colossal creature, Li Quanqing’s expression remained remarkably calm.

Inside the Mud Pill Palace, the Divine Sense avatar abruptly opened its eyes, and the sea of spiritual power surged, with serrated wheels spinning continuously around him.

Destructive God Wheel! freewebnσvel.cѳm

Swoosh swoosh!

Multiple wheels condensed from spiritual power sliced through the sky, cutting through the air and emitting a screeching sound of spiritual power, carrying with them the force to annihilate any spiritual entities.

These Destructive God Wheels drilled into the Flood Dragon’s skull, silently crushing and shattering the residual soul and consciousness of the Demon Beast.

Li Quanqing’s spiritual power had now reached the peak of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, effortlessly obliterating the remnant spirit of the Demon Beast.

Boom boom boom!

The enormous Flood Dragon skeleton stiffened, then fell back into the magma, splashing up sky-high flames.

Li Quanqing trod on the void and approached once again; this time, nothing hindered him, allowing him to truly touch the Demon Beast’s skeleton.

[Heavenly Fire Flood Dragon: Third-stage Demon Beast’s skeleton, fire attribute Flood Dragon, bearing a trace of Dragon Blood lineage, continual contact can enhance the cultivation and evolution of the Dragon Flame Eagle.]

Li Quanqing withdrew his hand, and text materialized before his eyes, detailing the origins of this skeleton.

"A Third-stage Demon Beast, could there be a Demon Core remaining? How come it appeared here!"

Li Quanqing’s interest piqued, his Divine Sense spreading inch by inch, carefully examining the Flood Dragon skeleton.

As expected of a Third-stage Flood Dragon King, its body was several hundred feet long, resembling a white-bone mountain range, with remains of broken dark red Scale Armor stuck in its bones.

Though no Demon Core was found, Li Quanqing still discovered a new treasure.

At the reverse scale of this Heavenly Fire Flood Dragon, among the layers of bones, a heart the size of a millstone had formed, bearing the brilliant colors of molten lava.

Regrettably, this Flood Dragon heart had already petrified, forming thick layers of stone crust that even magma could not melt.

"What is this?"

Li Quanqing’s gaze sharpened suddenly as he noticed a faint golden radiance flickering within the layer of rock shell, intertwined with an extremely sharp aura.

With his fingers as sharp as a knife, mana converged at his fingertips into a spiral pattern, gently slicing open the rock shell. Immediately, he saw a dazzling golden feather embedded deep in the heart, extinguishing all life force of the Flood Dragon.

"A single feather was able to kill a Third-stage Flood Dragon?!"

Li Quanqing gasped for breath, his palm covered with mana as he carefully grasped it, preparing to pluck the feather out.

Clang!!

On the surface of the golden feather, a pale golden halo flowed, emitting bursts of metallic clanging sounds, like thousands of swords converging together.

Even separated by ages, Li Quanqing could still sense that power, his mana torn apart, with cracks opening bloody wounds on the skin of his palm.

Enduring the pain, he finally pulled out the golden feather, over a meter long, much like a slender war spear!

Screech!!

The mist on the surface of the golden feather moved, accompanied by a piercing, metallic screech, transforming into a Golden Winged Peng about to fly.

With a wave of his hand, Li Quanqing’s mana surged and immediately dispersed the illusion.

Even though this feather was once extraordinary, with the passage of time, its power has dwindled, leaving only a trace of its most primal force.

"It seems to be a True Feather left by a Golden Winged Peng, truly excellent material for crafting Flying Sword magical treasures..."

Li Quanqing waved the Golden Peng Feather; even without refining, it was sharp enough to rival flying swords, shattering many spells and Spirit Armor.

He then removed the petrified heart of the Flood Dragon, perhaps able to refine a few drops of essence blood to feed and enhance the cultivation of the Dragon Flame Eagle.

After ensuring nothing was omitted, Li Quanqing proceeded to the top of the Flood Dragon’s head and removed a Top-Grade Fire Spirit Stone.

Pop!!

The instant it was removed, the Fire Rain Spirit Flower withered instantly, turning into a fiery mark that remained on the surface of the Fire Spirit Stone, glowing brilliantly.

Having taken away the largest treasures, Li Quanqing’s mana surged, collecting the entire skeleton of the Flood Dragon into the Hanhai Bowl.

Suddenly, the whole magma melt cave looked even more empty and vast, the oppressive aura of the Demon Beast slowly vanishing.

Li Quanqing employed a secret technique, erasing all traces and aura left here, virtually impossible to detect unless a Golden Core True Master personally came here.

In this way, even if Shuihua Sword Sect takes control of this Spirit Stone Mine in the future and completely exploits this place, they would never discover that he had already taken the greatest fortune.

"This vein is vast, containing hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones; the Sword Sect will definitely opt to excavate slowly, over time."

"Perhaps by the time I achieve Core Formation, there will be a chance to reclaim this Spirit Stone Mine."

Li Quanqing retracted his gaze, the future is long and promising, there’s no rush at this moment.

"Yo-ho!"

The Jade Qilin Beast cried out, once again spewing a yellowish glow, wrapping both of them as they shuttled through the earth’s strata, retracing their original path.

By the time Li Quanqing emerged from the Spirit Vein, everyone else was still busily excavating the Spirit Stone Veins, bustling intensely.

Li Quanmo had also returned, with an increased scent of blood on him, seeming to have stirred up quite the commotion.

"Set up an Array, cover this marine area and several nearby islands, to prevent outsiders from prying."

Li Quanqing spoke, taking out several Array Flags, with numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators simultaneously taking action, sealing off the surrounding marine area, isolating Divine Sense.

After busying with everything, he too, unwilling to appear weak, began to gather these low-grade spirit stones using his mana.

Even though he had already seized the greatest benefits, who would ever complain about having too many spirit stones?
