Chapter 96: Earth Fire Lizard Emperor.
As the flames approached, Xiao Fei and the other seven grew increasingly nervous.
A normal 100,000-year-old spirit beast was comparable to a level 95 Titled Douluo, and it required a formidable Titled Douluo.
To deal with the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, Bibi Dong brought six Titled Douluos with her, in addition to herself, a Peerless Douluo. Furthermore, they had to prevent the 100,000-year-old spirit beast from self-destructing.
When Xiao Fei and the other seven emerged from the cave entrance, they were stunned by the scene outside. The underground cavity was enormous, a full half a mile long and wide. At the lowest point on the left side was a blazing pool of boiling magma. In the center of the pool, there was a small clearing. In the clearing, a tree stood, bearing only a few fruits. Clearly, this tree was something special.
To the right, a small underground river flowed, but not much water. At its end, there was a pool of milky white liquid.
In the center of the cavity was a large thorn bush, somewhat resembling the Red Flame Thorn, the spirit of a female spirit master from the Botanical Academy.
Atop a high platform in the center of the cavern slept a massive soul beast. Approximately 20 meters in length, upon closer inspection, it was a massive Earth Fire Lizard. Based on its age and length, this one was estimated to be over 200,000 years old. It should be called the Earth Fire Lizard King.
Unlike ordinary Earth Fire Lizards, this one was covered in a layer of fine, fiery red scales. Its head even had two horns, and its limbs resembled sharp claws. A crimson glow emanated from its body. An endless pressure seemed to emanate from its surroundings.
Suddenly, the Earth Fire Lizard King opened its eyes and spoke in human language, "Humans, you dare come here to die!"
Seven people instantly activated their spirit forms and attacked the Earth Fire Lizard King.
Seeing the seven dare to attack him, the Earth Fire Lizard King roared in anger, a roar laced with a powerful mental attack. With a sweep of his right hand, Yang Pojun and Feng Xiaotian were sent flying. Then, with a swipe of his tail, Niu Meng's defenses were shattered, sending a giant plate-armored rhino careening away. Then, a fiery red light emanated from his mouth. Although Shui Bing'er was flying through the air, her Ice Phoenix spirit was actually melting.
In the blink of an eye, four of the seven people were attacked and clearly injured.
Huo Wushuang, transformed into the One-Horned Fire Tyrannosaurus, directly confronted the Earth Fire Lizard King, clearly intending to confront him head-on and buy everyone time.
Xiao Fei activated one of his left arm spirit bone abilities: Netherworld Dragon King Entanglement. He instantly transformed into a massive, fiery red Netherworld Dragon King, entangling the Earth Fire Lizard King and inflicting intense hellfire damage, engulfing the entire space in flames.
Huo Wu then unleashed the hundred-thousand-year spirit ability she had used against the Seven Sacred Pillars: Fire Shadows Filling the Sky. Countless fire shadows filled the air, attacking the Earth Fire Lizard King, accompanied by explosions.
The Earth Fire Lizard King roared again, and a red light appeared around him. The three people's flame attacks were actually melting him. Clearly, this was the Earth Fire Lizard King's domain: the Fire Lizard Domain, which allowed him to control all flames within it.
The three men understood that the Earth Fire Lizard King, having spent so much time around the magma, possessed exceptional fire resistance and possessed a profound control over flames. All three, fire-type spirit masters, were somewhat restrained.
Meanwhile, Feng Xiaotian and the other four reentered the battlefield. Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er engaged in a tangle-like aerial battle, flying swiftly and occasionally striking when the Earth Fire Lizard King wasn't paying attention. Niu Meng and Yang Pojun assisted Huo Wushuang, sharing the pressure of the direct confrontation.
The battle between the seven and the Earth Fire Lizard King was incredibly fierce, the ground seemingly shaking and cracking.
This time, Xiao Fei unleashed every possible force, employing nearly every soul skill and soul bone skill, including several hundred-thousand-year soul bone skills.
The Earth Fire Lizard King, at two hundred thousand years old, was considered one of the most powerful spirit beasts in the Douluo Continent, even stronger than the Azure Bull Python. It had reached the 97th level of Titled Douluo among human spirit masters, and its physique was incredibly formidable.
The battle raged for a full hour, and even with Xiao Fei's current soul power, he struggled to keep up. The others, however, were even more depleted, their soul power nearly exhausted. And there are all kinds of scars on his body.
The Earth Fire Lizard was even more exhausted, relying only on its sturdy body to fend off the attacks.
True to its ferocious nature, the Earth Fire Lizard King didn't flinch, even at the very end.
With a final roar, "Human, I'd rather die than become your spirit ring," the Earth Fire Lizard King radiated a crimson glow, clearly intending to self-destruct.
Xiao Fei unleashed his head spirit bone skill to its fullest potential, sending a mental blast towards the Earth Fire Lizard King's head. Then, his left leg transformed into an axe, emitting a straight line of light that slashed forward like a giant axe, cleaving the Earth Fire Lizard King's head in two.
It was the left leg spirit bone skill: the Demonic Killer Whale Axe. It was also Xiao Fei's strongest counter to the Earth Fire Lizard King's attacks. After all, the Demonic Killer Whale King was a water-based spirit beast, and its spirit bone skills favored water-based attacks.
As the Earth Fire Lizard King's head was split open, a massive red spirit ring appeared above its corpse.
Xiao Fei quickly drew healing and spirit power-restoring herbs from his arm guard and gave them to the others, while simultaneously activating his right leg spirit bone skill to heal himself.
Half an hour later, Xiao Fei and the other seven had only recovered a fraction of their strength, but there was no time to wait.
Xiao Fei immediately assigned Feng Xiaotian to cover the cavern in the crater to prevent any intrusion. Feng Xiaotian had been engaged in a tug-of-war in the air, so his energy and injuries were relatively minor.
Feng Xiaotian nodded and vanished, while the others guarded the cavern entrance to prevent anyone from entering. After all, the scale of the battle had been immense, and the entire underground space was practically cracked.
Xiao Fei approached the corpse of the Earth Fire Lizard King and collected the soul bone it had produced, a fiery red right arm soul bone. Then, he sat before the red soul ring and began absorbing the Fire Phoenix's ninth soul ring.
With Xiao Fei's current physical condition and mental strength, absorbing the 200,000-year soul ring was no problem.
It took Xiao Fei three full days to absorb the ring.
Feng Xiaotian, on the other hand, blocked the entrance to the crater with a giant rock and, along with Niu Meng, created an earthquake around them. The others worked tirelessly to recover their soul strength and pay close attention to the changes in the surrounding space.
Three days later, Xiao Fei had absorbed all the spirit rings. He took out his spirit bone, intending to absorb it all in one go. This spirit bone was the most suitable for Xiao Fei at this stage, and it was also the most powerful spirit bone in Xiao Fei's body.
It took Xiao Fei another day to absorb the spirit bone.
When Xiao Fei finished absorbing the spirit rings and spirit bones, his spirit power had reached the peak of level 93, and he expected to reach level 94 soon. Moreover, there was no repulsion between the different spirit bones, which was obviously the effect of the Sea God's Light and the Sea God's divine power during the Tidal Body Refining.
Seeing everyone's worried eyes, Xiao Fei smiled and said, "I am doing very well now, and I feel stronger than ever. I should be able to defeat the Earth Fire Lizard King independently now."
