Chapter 152: Golden Flame Reveals It’s Power! Slaying the Lava Giant [1]

Inferno Prison Secret Realm, middle region. Underground rocky passage.

Drip.

A drop of scorching magma fell from the ceiling of the rocky passage, striking the black stone below and scattering several tiny sparks.

Victor continued advancing through the narrow passage.

Nearly half an hour had passed since he successfully absorbed the Earth Vein Golden Flame, and he had recovered enough to continue moving.

However, compared to the changes in his body, what truly satisfied him was the pale golden flame that had already fused with him.

Victor opened his right hand. As a wisp of fire-attribute mana gathered, a tiny pale golden flame slowly appeared in his palm.

Whoosh!

The moment the flame appeared, the surrounding air rapidly heated up. Even several pieces of gravel near his feet gradually turned red under the intense temperature.

Looking at the flame, Victor smiled.

"As expected, it’s completely different."

Although the Heaven Burning Sword Art had yet to complete its evolution, after successfully absorbing the Earth Vein Golden Flame, he could already begin drawing upon the power of this natural flame.

Even such a tiny wisp contained temperatures far exceeding those of ordinary fire-attribute mana.

Moreover, unlike ordinary flames, the Earth Vein Golden Flame possessed the special ability to devour other fire-attribute energy.

And now, this precious natural flame had become part of his strength.

"I’m starting to resemble a real Magic Swordsman more and more."

Victor gently clenched his fist, causing the golden flame in his palm to disappear.

Although controlling the Earth Vein Golden Flame still consumed considerable mana, as long as he continued familiarizing himself with it, it would undoubtedly become one of his greatest trump cards in the future.

With that thought, he stopped lingering and quickened his pace deeper into the passage.

However, before he had gone much farther, a rumbling sound resembling rushing water suddenly came from ahead.

Victor stopped.

"There’s an underground river here?"

He was somewhat surprised.

After all, this was the Inferno Prison Secret Realm.

The surroundings were filled with scorching rocks and fire-element earth veins. Finding an ordinary river in such an environment would probably be even more difficult than finding a fire-attribute magical beast.

However, he soon realized that his assumption had been completely wrong.

When he passed through the final stretch of the narrow rocky passage, the space before him suddenly opened up!

An enormous underground cavern appeared before his eyes!

The cavern’s ceiling rose hundreds of meters overhead. Large clusters of crimson crystals were embedded throughout the rocky walls, illuminating the entire underground space with a brightness resembling the evening sky.

And at the far end of the cavern, a magma waterfall dozens of meters wide poured down from an enormous fissure high above!

Rumble!

Scorching lava continuously crashed into the magma lake below, sending enormous crimson waves surging upward.

Countless sparks rose with the waves of hot air, drifting through the cavern like an endless rain of fire.

Victor stood at the entrance and couldn’t help admiring the sight for several moments.

Although he had already witnessed the lava basin within the Inferno Prison Secret Realm, this enormous underground cavern still surprised him.

Especially the crimson crystals covering the rocky walls.

Many contained remarkably concentrated fire-attribute mana. In several places, clusters of crystals had even formed visible crimson halos.

"This is quite a nice place."

Victor approached a nearby wall and swung the Crimson Flame Fang, cutting down a fist-sized crimson crystal.

The crystal felt warm in his hand, and a distinct fluctuation of fire-element energy could be sensed within it.

[Crimson Flame Crystal]

[Quality: Fine]

[Contains relatively pure fire-attribute mana. Can be used to forge fire-attribute equipment and assist cultivation.]

"Fine quality?"

A look of delight appeared in Victor’s eyes.

Although it couldn’t compare to a High Purity Fire Element Core, fire-attribute materials of this quality could still fetch a decent price outside.

Furthermore, there wasn’t just one.

He raised his head and swept his gaze across the rocky wall.

There were at least a hundred Crimson Flame Crystals of various sizes.

If he brought them all outside, they would undoubtedly represent a considerable fortune.

Victor didn’t hesitate.

Since he had encountered such a treasure, there was naturally no reason to leave empty-handed.

The Crimson Flame Fang flashed repeatedly, and several higher-quality Crimson Flame Crystals were quickly extracted before being placed into his storage ring.

As for those of ordinary quality, he couldn’t even be bothered to examine them.

After all, no matter how large his storage space was, there was no need to carry every stone back with him.

After collecting more than a dozen crystals, Victor was preparing to continue searching for an exit when the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled.

BOOM!

Then came another heavy impact.

BOOM!

The dull sounds came from the center of the magma lake, as though some enormous creature was gradually awakening.

Victor turned his head.

In the middle of the continuously churning magma lake, an enormous black rock suddenly began rising.

No! That wasn’t a rock at all!

As large amounts of lava slid off its surface, an enormous figure standing more than ten meters tall slowly rose from the magma lake!

Its entire body was composed of pitch-black stone. Crimson lava patterns wound around its thick arms, while an enormous pulsating crystal was embedded in its chest.

Every time that crystal flashed, waves surged through the surrounding magma.

BOOM!

The giant raised one foot and stomped heavily onto the black rock beside the lake, causing the entire ground to tremble

A panel of information quickly appeared before Victor.

[Name: Crimson Crystal Lava Giant]

[Level: 42]

[Life Tier: Second]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Characteristics: An elemental lifeform born from concentrated earth-vein fire elements, possessing tremendous strength and defensive capabilities.]

[Core: High Purity Fire Element Core.]

Upon seeing the final line, Victor’s eyes immediately lit up.
