Chapter 305: Armor of Flames
"Lava Energy!"
As the red glow burst from the swirling vortex, gasps filled the platform, with every eye fixed in intense excitement. This was the essence that dozens of volcanoes had accumulated over thousands of years—if absorbed, the benefits it would bring were unimaginable.
"Lin Langtian, descend to the bottom of the Fire River and absorb the lava energy," Fen Cang said with half-closed eyes.
"Yes, sir!"
Without wasting a moment, Lin Langtian steadied himself, his powerful inner energy wrapping around his entire body, and without hesitation, he dove into the spinning whirlpool.
The dark vortex tunnel twisted like a massive black serpent, driving forcefully into the Fire River and connecting directly to its deepest parts.
Whoosh!
A streak of light shot through the passageway, rapidly following the current of the vortex. Before long, the darkness at the depths began to brighten with a fierce red glow.
"Almost there…"
Narrowing his eyes, Lin Langtian saw the red light expanding before him. He could feel the intense, boundless energy within it. Clearly, this was the legendary lava energy at the bottom of the Fire River.
"Amazing power…"
Sensing the strength of the lava energy, Lin Langtian raised his eyebrows slightly. The abilities of the Eight Divisions of Yuan Gate were indeed remarkable.
"The pressure is building…"
As he advanced deeper, the pressure grew stronger, pressing against his skin until it became almost unbearable.
The Fire River wasn't just any river; its flow wasn't simple water but was formed entirely from the essence accumulated deep within dozens of volcanoes. The pressure it exerted couldn't be ignored, even by a Nirvana-stage fighter like Lin Langtian.
Buzz!
With a flick of his mind, flames rose around his body, diminishing the pressure significantly. His Flame Furnace within then began to operate at maximum capacity.
With his mastery of the Black Flame Dominator Body, Lin Langtian's body was as resilient as that of a fighter who had endured seven Nirvana Tribulations.
Encased in flames, Lin Langtian didn't hesitate further. He propelled himself through the passageway, bursting out into the riverbed, where the red glow spread thickly around him.
Hiss!
The moment he exited the passage, a tremendous pressure enveloped him, creeping into every fiber of his being, dimming the flames around him.
Realizing the weight of the energy, his expression turned serious. His body shuddered slightly, and a layer of red-and-black flames quickly formed a suit of armor around him, covering his entire body.
The fiery armor radiated a deep, fearsome power, making him look like a god of fire.
His Flame Furnace, having absorbed the Nirvana Devil Flame and Vermilion Bird Blaze, held the unique traits of both fires. With his improved mastery of the Black Flame Dominator Body, he could now summon the Flame Armor as a powerful defensive measure.
Previously, Lin Langtian hadn't had a reason to use this move, but here, at the bottom of the Fire River, a robust defense was exactly what he needed.
With the Flame Armor in place, the pressure dissipated. Lin Langtian took a moment to look around, his gaze settling on the vast red glow ahead, which existed apart from the river water without mingling.
"So, this is lava energy… such intense and heavy power…"
He slowly reached out with a gauntleted hand into the red glow. The thick energy prickled his skin with a fierce vibration.
"Let's begin."
Without hesitation, Lin Langtian stepped fully into the red glow.
Buzz!
As he entered, his armor emitted a low hum, glowing with increased intensity as it fended off the fierce energy around him.
When his body was fully immersed, Lin Langtian sat down cross-legged, his expression focused. He formed a series of hand seals, releasing waves of suction from within.
Boom!
The moment he activated the technique, the red energy bubbled violently, and red bubbles burst around him, releasing streams of energy that shot directly into his body.
One after another, the red beams surged into his body, where they erupted like molten lava, spreading into his veins, flesh, and bones until they glowed a faint red as if being seared.
"What a wild energy. But it's not enough to stop me!"
With that, Lin Langtian's Flame Furnace roared to life, rapidly absorbing the invading energy. Fueled by the Nirvana Devil Flame and the Vermilion Bird Blaze, it processed the lava energy relentlessly.
With his resilient physique, Lin Langtian's ability to absorb the intense energy seemed almost effortless.
Sizzle!
As the lava energy fused with his flesh, a fierce power grew within him, roaring like a dragon through his blood and bones.
Simultaneously, some of the energy seeped into his internal energy, strengthening the flow of power in his veins.
Sensing this transformation, Lin Langtian's lips curved in satisfaction.
For a Nirvana-stage fighter, this lava energy was a rare treasure. It fortified the body and enriched one's energy reserves, accelerating growth far beyond regular training.
"This is a good place. Perhaps I can even reach the Seventh Nirvana Stage here…" he murmured, a faint smile spreading across his face.
