Chapter 126: Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire
Chapter 174: Green Lotus Core Flame
Outside, the battle raged fiercely. Mu Yang, who had entered the lava lake, looked around. Everything was fiery red. If not for the Power of the Sun protecting him, he would have difficulty even opening his eyes.
He quickly scanned the surroundings, locked onto the fire snake's shadow, and then swam rapidly, following the fire snake deeper into the lava.
Within the lava lake, undercurrents surged. Occasionally, an extremely ferocious stream of lava would erupt from an unknown place.
These undercurrents contained powerful energy. If a creature with less than 20 points of stamina was hit by an undercurrent, it would likely be buried in this special lake.
Perhaps because the fire snake tribe lived in this lava lake, the fire snake was very familiar with everything in it.
Before an undercurrent arrived, it would lead Mu Yang through other routes, doing its best to avoid being hit.
As they continued to delve deeper into the seemingly endless lava lake, even with Mu Yang's various enhancements, he began to feel the strain after a long time.
For him, the most terrifying thing at this moment was not the high temperature of the lava, but the pressure that continuously increased as they went deeper.
He wasn't sure how much longer he could last. Hopefully, he could find the Green Lotus Core Flame before he was crushed. His five senses gradually blurred, but Mu Yang still keenly noticed that the surrounding fiery red lava was subtly turning bluish.
However, in this environment, the Lieyang Power within him became more active, and power continuously flowed into his limbs, resisting the scorching high temperature and pressure that could burn everything outside.
"Has a special potential been activated?"
Mu Yang was a little puzzled. He casually glanced at his status bar, his gaze lingering for a moment on the "Bai Wuju · Afterglow" buff that was still present, then continued deeper into the lava.
This status had existed since the end of the Space War, without any gains or debuffs, and had not been healed by Reincarnation Paradise.
This indicated that in Reincarnation Paradise's judgment, "Bai Wuju · Afterglow" was neither an abnormal nor a negative status. If it were, Reincarnation Paradise would at least remind him that his authority was insufficient to heal it, instead of saying nothing.
However, the specific use of this buff remained unclear.
Mu Yang speculated that perhaps a part of Bai Wuju's memory still remained in his mind, waiting to be unearthed, or perhaps it was the last trace of humanity left by the other party.
His body moved through the lava, which had completely turned blue. Even though Lieyang was still exerting its power, Mu Yang could already distinctly feel the immense pressure coming from all directions.
His weakness limited Lieyang's performance; otherwise, he shouldn't be in such a sorry state at this moment.
Fortunately, he had arrived.
A blue light, different from the lava, bloomed not far away. Within that light, a blue lotus stood gracefully.
"Found it, the Green Lotus Core Flame."
Mu Yang quickly approached, his eyes filled with the difficulty and exhaustion of this journey.
He vaguely felt that something might have gone wrong in the process of searching for the Green Lotus Core Flame. Otherwise, among Tier 1 Contractor, the number of those who could delve into the lava lake and reach this point would not exceed five fingers.
And in this derivative world, he was likely the only one who could do it, which would mean Reincarnation Paradise had custom-made this opportunity for Mu Yang.
No, Reincarnation Paradise would not do that. Opportunities are only for the strong.
Evidently, the correct procedure was for Contractor to first capture the fire snakes living in the lava lake, which could guide them to the exotic flame.
Then, they would enter the caves to find materials that could help the Contractor reduce high temperatures and pressures, and finally, delve into the lava lake to find the exotic flame.
Xi had also mentioned earlier that there were many extremely rare fire-attributed medicinal herbs in those spacious caves, which also confirmed Mu Yang's speculation.
However, although there was a slight problem with the process, the result was correct. Mu Yang still obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame, even if he almost died.
When his body touched the blue light of the Green Lotus Core Flame, the surrounding temperature increased again. But when Mu Yangentered the area covered by the light, the temperature around him strangely decreased significantly.
However, he didn't pay attention, only staring intently at the blue lotus in the center.
The blue lotus, with eight petals, eight crystalline blue leaves, was a work of art from nature.
Within the lotus, there was a small lotus pedestal, about two to three feet in size. From some holes in the pedestal, specks of fluorescent light occasionally emanated. Those must be the lotus seeds, condensed from the purest fire-attributed energy.
Carefully avoiding the roots, Mu Yang leaned closer. On the lotus pedestal, there was a tiny pale blue flame.

Despite his words, a faint smile appeared on the face of Mu Yang, the King of Endurance.
He extended his left hand towards the Green Lotus Core Flame, and the power of Lieyang manifested, offering an "olive branch" to the Green Lotus Fire.
Feeling the vast and pure fire-attributed energy, the entire green lotus stirred. The flame at the lotus pedestal surged into Mu Yang's body as if pouncing.
An incomparably familiar burning pain came from his internal organs. An ordinary person at this time might be rolling on the ground, in unbearable pain, but Mu Yang showed that he was accustomed to it.
And along with the pain, pure and vast fire-attributed energy appeared.
While the Green Lotus Fire destroyed his body, it also cleansed Mu Yang's body, equivalent to body tempering.
Using a jade ruler prepared beforehand, he took away the lotus pedestal and the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds on it, leaving the roots.
In another thousand years, perhaps another Green Lotus Fire could grow here.
After completing this last step, Mu Yang endured the pain and strangeness in his body, grabbed the fire snake's body, and swam towards the surface.
Because he had the fire snake, Mu Yang didn't need to move his body, so he focused all his attention on his body.
"Bai Wuju—"
And with the help of the Green Lotus Fire, Mu Yang finally discovered Bai Wuju's final gift.
As he expected, it was indeed a memory, a memory of Bai Wujucultivating flames.
This memory could be absorbed directly, but the cost was that there would be losses, leading to the absence of some content.
Considering Bai Wuju's final frenzied appearance, Mu Yang chose to read it—
Outside the lava lake, half a day had passed. The Dou Kings and Dou Emperors who went to search the caves returned empty-handed. They later learned from Contractor that the exotic flame was in the lava lake.
Because Xi, Lü Man, Bai Ya, and later Ruo Li jointly blocked them, their actions of not letting them enter the lava lake provoked public anger, leading to a group attack. Their current state was not good.
Among them, Qian Da Pang was the most active. He, who was usually stingy, used most of the consumables in his storage space this time, which allowed everyone to break through Bai Ya's scale defense.
However, some people did not participate. Jia Xing Tian, one of the strongest, merely watched with cold eyes.
Currently, the Gama Empire was facing internal and external troubles. If he provoked the Heavenly Serpent Mansion again, he worried that the position of the royal family would not be secured, which was why he didn't act.
But the scene that was about to unfold would prove to him that sometimes, hesitation was a good thing.
