Chapter 528: Chapter 0523: The Uses of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal

“This must be the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal,” Chen Yu thought with a hint of excitement.

The ferocious guardianship of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal by the Xuanhuo Turtle was enough to prove that this item was also extremely precious to the people of the Summoning Flame Realm and to the demon beasts.

“There must be dozens of pounds at least.”

Chen Yu was somewhat tempted.

It seemed that teaming up with the old man, Feng Tianhao, was a wise choice. After spending decades in the Holy Land, he knew how to exploit the loopholes in the rules of the Holy Land to secure the greatest benefit for himself.

As the True Essence Shield was about to dissipate, Chen Yu channeled True Yuan to stabilize it, approached the subterranean rock mine, took out the Demon Flood Dragon Sword, and slashed fiercely around him.

Meanwhile, once Feng Tianhao saw Chen Yu dive into the magma, he immediately went all out to kill the Evil Fire Ancestor.

Right after that, he plunged into the magma too.

Suddenly, hearing a loud boom, he swiftly swam over.

He saw that in a certain area underground, the magma was churning violently, and mixed within it was a surge of Demonic True Essence power.

“Brother Chen, have you found the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal?”

Feng Tianhao immediately asked as he hurriedly entered.

“I have,” said Chen Yu with a smile.

Chunks of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal had been excavated on the underground floor by his earlier sword strike and were scattered about.

“Great, let’s dig out the rest below as well.”

Feng Tianhao’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he spoke.

At the same time, he secretly felt fortunate that he had arrived early because had he come later, Chen Yu might have already hidden some of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals.

“Alright.”

Chen Yu smiled.

He hadn’t expected Feng Tianhao to have killed the Evil Fire Ancestor so quickly. Luckily, just a moment ago Chen Yu had thought to hide some of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals within the mysterious heart’s Light Silver Crystal Space, unbeknownst to Feng Tianhao.

The two might have teamed up to explore, but Chen Yu and Feng Tianhao had barely ever met in the Holy Land, let alone spoken a word to each other. They had no real connection; it was benefit that tied them together.

Just now, Feng Tianhao had left the stronger Xuanhuo Turtle for Chen Yu to deal with while he dealt with the Evil Fire Ancestor.

If Chen Yu hadn’t had other means to cope with the Xuanhuo Turtle, certainly Feng Tianhao would have killed the Evil Fire Ancestor first, dived underground to extract the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal, and would have definitely hidden some for himself.

As the two were preparing to dig up the remaining Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals, the underground magma suddenly began to boil.

“You despicable humans dare to snatch my treasure.”

The furious voice of the Xuanhuo Turtle reverberated, causing the ground to shake and rocks to fall.

Boom!

Undeterred by the Red Flame King, the Xuanhuo Turtle charged into the magma, hot lava splashing around the cavern and hissing.

In the magma, the Xuanhuo Turtle was in its element; its combat power there was exceptionally strong.

Rumbling followed as the Xuanhuo Turtle rushed towards them with incredible speed, the underground magma tumultuously surging, engulfing the two men as if caught in a tsunami.

Knowing the location of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal, the Xuanhuo Turtle struck with the force of a massive cannonball.

In such a situation, even Chen Yu didn’t dare to confront it directly and could only dodge.

Before evading, Chen Yu and Feng Tianhao stashed all the excavated Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals into their storage bags.

Boom!

Under the impact of the Xuanhuo Turtle, the remaining Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals in the earth’s crust were dug up by it and hidden inside its shell.

The Xuanhuo Turtle had discovered the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals long before and taken up residence here because these crystals could continuously regenerate, albeit at a very slow pace.

But ancient beasts have long lives and can afford to wait.

Therefore, it only occasionally took some, leaving most of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals untouched.

If it had known things were going to turn out this way, the Xuanhuo Turtle would have taken all of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals from the beginning and its haul would have been even greater.

Roar!

The Xuanhuo Turtle howled in rage, inhaled the magma, and then violently spewed it out.

Whoosh!

A stream of fiery red flame burst forth from its mouth, terrifyingly powerful, enough to evaporate the magma itself.

“Retreat quickly.”

Feng Tianhao’s face was filled with fear as he hastily retreated.

The late Guiyuan Realm ancient beast was already formidable, not to mention the Xuanhuo Turtle was now furiously enraged and in an advantageous environment, with its combat power at its peak.

“Red Flame King, why did you let it come down here?” Chen Yu transmitted a message.

“That fellow is tough and was determined to escape; I couldn’t stop it,” the Red Flame King explained calmly.

He was at the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm; if he employed the full strength of his Holy Beast Bloodline, stopping the Xuanhuo Turtle wouldn’t be a problem.

“Let’s get out of here,” Chen Yu called out gruffly, surging upwards.

Pfft! Pfft!

Chen Yu and Feng Tianhao emerged from the surface of the magma, closely followed by the Xuanhuo Turtle that burst forth in pursuit.

“Get out of underground and draw it outside,” said Chen Yu, flying towards the cave entrance.

Feng Tianhao didn’t dare to linger either and ran out quickly.

Boom!

The cave entrance exploded as Chen Yu, Feng Tianhao, and the Red Flame King made their exit, followed by the massive Xuanhuo Turtle, furious and unforgiving.

“Hand over the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal.”

The Xuanhuo Turtle roared angrily, its blood-red eyes fixed on Feng Tianhao and Chen Yu.

“Now that we’re outside, you still dare to be so arrogant. Together, the three of us are not in the least afraid of you,” Feng Tianhao said sternly.

He had noticed earlier that Chen Yu’s Ancient Beast Spirit Pet had an extraordinary bloodline and tremendous power. Along with the two of them, who were Copper Badge Holy Guards, they need not fear the Xuanhuo Turtle.

“Die.”

Still furious and unable to think rationally, the Xuanhuo Turtle opened its mouth and blasted out a massive pillar of fire.

Boom!

A sweeping pillar of fire incinerated everything in its path.

“Attack.”

The two of them and their beast simultaneously struck, surrounding the Xuanhuo Turtle and attacking from three directions.

Chen Yu slashed out with a powerful tide of Sword Qi, striking the head of the Xuanhuo Turtle and blasting it open.

Feng Tianhao was on the left side of the Xuanhuo Turtle, continuously pounding with his palms, and waves of Water Path Power kept surging toward it.

And the Red Flame King moved behind the Xuanhuo Turtle.

Hoo!

It opened its mouth and spat out a surging fireball, accurately targeting the tail of the Xuanhuo Turtle.

Bang boom!

The fireball exploded right behind the Xuanhuo Turtle’s rear, causing its body to tremble, and in a mix of shame and anger, it turned around to face the Red Flame King.

“Press the attack.”

Feng Tianhao bellowed.

The Xuanhuo Turtle had the advantage of the terrain within the lava, but now that they were in the sky, it was different, and the three of them had the advantage in numbers, attacking the Xuanhuo Turtle from three sides.

Boom!

They kept hitting the Xuanhuo Turtle.

If it wasn’t for its tough shell and astonishing defensive power, it might already have fallen at the hands of Chen Yu and the others.

On the other hand, while the Xuanhuo Turtle’s defensive power was strong, its speed was a weakness, hence it was out of options against Chen Yu, Feng Tianhao, and the Red Flame King.

“You damn humans just wait…”

The Xuanhuo Turtle roared and fled with its tail between its legs.

Chen Yu and the others didn’t chase after it.

Ancient beasts were naturally hardy, especially turtles with their extraordinary defense–it was too difficult to chase and kill.

“Haha, we’ve made a huge profit this time.”

Feng Tianhao laughed out loud, then looked at Chen Yu, “Brother Chen, let’s split the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal equally.”

In the rush before, they both collected the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal they had dug up, but Chen Yu had taken slightly more.

“Alright.”

Chen Yu agreed.

They floated down to where the Evil Fire Ancestor’s cave dwelling was, but now the place was a ruin, thoroughly in shambles.

“Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal? I didn’t expect it to be this treasure.”

The Red Flame King remarked upon seeing the crystal stones brought out by Chen Yu and Feng Tianhao.

“You know what this is?”

Feng Tianhao immediately asked.

“Of course.”

The Red Flame King replied haughtily.

“Then tell us what it’s for.”

“Why should I tell you?”

Feng Tianhao was rendered speechless, holding back his anger as he communicated with Chen Yu via voice transmission: “Brother Chen, this Ancient Beast Spirit Pet of yours is really snarky.”

Feng Tianhao was quite proud and ill-tempered himself. If he hadn’t needed something from the Red Flame King, he wouldn’t even bother conversing with it.

Of course, since the Red Flame King’s master was here, he had to give Chen Yu some face.

“Don’t be smug, tell us.”

Chen Yu glared at the Red Flame King.

He too was eager to know the use of this crystal.

“Alright, alright, since you’re asking so earnestly, I’ll be benevolent and tell you.”

“The Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal has many uses, but the most extraordinary one is that it can help you cultivate a ‘Fire Element Body’.”

The Red Flame King said simply.

“Fire Element Body?”

Feng Tianhao savored these three words, and then his eyes lit up with a sharp glint, excitedly saying, “Could it be the legendary special physique that increases the likelihood of breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm?”

“That’s right.”

The Red Flame King nodded.

“Does it really have such miraculous effects?”

Chen Yu was somewhat incredulous.

Although he knew the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal was precious, its purported use was remarkably astonishing. If it were true, that would mean the Summoning Flame Realm possibly had the Sky Sea Realm.

“This is wonderful; such a treasure it is! No wonder the Holy Land offers such high contribution points to purchase it.” Feng Tianhao laughed excitedly.

“Don’t get too excited yet. Is a Fire Element Body that easy to cultivate?”

The Red Flame King looked disdainfully at the stout man.

“Moreover, fatso, you, being a Water Practitioner, simply cannot cultivate a Fire Element Body.”

“If you try to absorb it but fail to assimilate, it could backfire, potentially damaging your foundation, inflicting you with fire poison, and in severe cases, even affecting your mind, leading to madness or hysteria.”

The Red Flame King spoke with contempt.

Once upon a time, it too had cultivated a Fire Element Body to increase the chance of breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm, so it was very clear about certain things.

“Impossible? Can’t be cultivated?”

Feng Tianhao snorted. He didn’t like the Red Flame King’s tone or attitude and chose to ignore the grave consequences the Red Flame King had mentioned.

Soon, the division of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal was completed, with both Chen Yu and Feng Tianhao getting twenty-five pounds each.

Had they handed over these twenty-five pounds of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal to the Holy Land, it would have been worth two thousand five hundred contribution points, enough to drive a Silver Emblem Holy Guard mad.

Of course, now that they were aware of the uses of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal, Chen Yu and Feng Tianhao had no intention of doing so.

“Let’s rest here for a while.”

Feng Tianhao suggested.

This was a forbidden place, sparsely populated, where they wouldn’t be disturbed.

Feng Tianhao planned to try and refine and absorb the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal first.
