Chapter 1162: Chapter 607: The Peculiar Flame

Lin Tianming pondered carefully and realized it was because the Salt Crystal Water had the effect of blocking Divine Sense, and the pond was very deep, at least a hundred zhang from top to bottom.

With such a large reserve of Salt Crystal Water acting as a barrier, it was no wonder that the Earth Flame Dragon could hide inside without him detecting any traces or presence.

It wasn’t until he and his wife entered the pond and dived a certain distance that Lin Tianming, with the aid of the miraculous effect of the Eye of Five Colors, temporarily discovered the traces of the Earth Flame Dragon.

At this moment, the Earth Flame Dragon was staring at them, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

In such a situation, if they continued to stay in the water, relying on the environmental factors here, it was clearly disadvantageous for them to fight.

Realizing this, Lin Tianming immediately rushed towards the surface of the water with Qin Xi.

Just then, upon seeing them trying to escape, the Earth Flame Dragon also swiftly gave chase.

The Earth Flame Dragon was fast, its massive body incredibly agile; as it swam through the water, its crimson Scales directly stirred up waves after waves, surging to the surface.

Although the Earth Flame Dragon was fast, Lin Tianming and his wife’s speed was not the slightest bit weaker.

Moreover, the pond wasn’t as deep as ordinary ponds, and they were in the middle depth, only dozens of zhang away from the surface, which was just a blink of an eye to cross.

Thus, Lin Tianming and his wife quickly burst out of the pond and appeared at the edge of the pool.

At the moment when they stabilized their forms, the Earth Flame Dragon also burst out from the pond and paused in the center of the pool.

Immediately after, the Earth Flame Dragon fixed its gaze tightly on Lin Tianming and his wife, adopting a ready and waiting posture.

Despite the Earth Flame Dragon following them out, its Spirit Wisdom was no lower and it could feel the strong aura emanating from Lin Tianming’s pair.

Not to mention Lin Tianming, even the aura Qin Xi radiated was scarcely weaker than that of the Earth Flame Dragon, not to mention the even stronger Lin Tianming by her side.

Because of this, the Earth Flame Dragon stared at them furiously, but dared not to attack rashly.

At this moment, Lin Tianming wasn’t in a hurry to attack either, but was sizing up the Earth Flame Dragon before him.

Following his gaze, this Earth Flame Dragon was over ten zhang long, with a very stout body, covered in crimson Scales that appeared quite imposing.

On its head grew a single horn, and its blue eyes were particularly striking. Although this creature was called a dragon, in fact, it could only be considered a lesser dragon.

It is known that true dragons possess extremely powerful Ancient divine spirit bloodlines.

In the current Cultivation World, the Demonic Beasts that barely qualify as dragons are without exception possessing strength of Grade Fourth Order or above.

As for lesser dragons, they are merely affiliates of the dragon clan, barely carrying a trace of true dragon heritage bloodline; if they cannot reverse their ancestry, they will find it difficult to overcome such bloodline disparities for their entire lives.

Although this Earth Flame Dragon had reached the Late Stage of the Third Order, it was obviously still far from the category of true dragons.

However, even so, the fact that this Earth Flame Dragon could cultivate to this level and continuously occupy this place without being eradicated by the Nascent Soul Forces is enough to prove that the beast’s strength should not be underestimated.

Thinking of these points, Lin Tianming’s expression grew solemn. Though he had no intention of retreating, he would certainly not underestimate the Earth Flame Dragon’s strength.

Besides, at this very moment, Lin Tianming was also deep in thought.

In his heart, he thought that although the Salt Crystal Pool was admittedly a treasure ground, the place clearly favored the Water Attribute.

And yet, the Earth Flame Dragon, a Fire Attribute Demonic Beast, appeared in such a place and made it its lair, which was not conducive to the beast’s cultivation and advancement.

Upon such reflection, the situation seemed somewhat illogical.

After racking his brains, Lin Tianming had a rough guess.

He surmised that there must be some Treasure here that attracted the Earth Flame Dragon, which could also negate the effects of the Water Attribute terrain on it.

Otherwise, the Earth Flame Dragon would not possibly be found here.

With these possibilities in mind, Lin Tianming had already made up his mind that he must slay the beast.

Only by killing the beast could he successfully obtain the Salt Crystal and continue to explore further.

Otherwise, he would have to give up the Salt Crystal within reach and any potential opportunities hidden behind this place.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming secretly transmitted a message to Qin Xi, sharing his views and plans.

Soon, Qin Xi nodded in response, fully supporting Lin Tianming’s plan.

Therefore, Lin Tianming didn’t plan to waste more time.

Following Qin Xi’s response, Lin Tianming leaped into the air and flew into midair.

Immediately after, he patted the Tiangang Sword at his waist, and it appeared in his hand.

Then, Lin Tianming pinched a Law Decree, and a series of Spiritual Light bombarded the Heavenly Gang Sword Body.

His actions were swift, completing everything in an extremely short amount of time.

At this instant, a flash of light shone from the Tiangang Sword, and then it turned into a long dragon that shot out aggressively, heading straight for the Earth Flame Dragon in the center of the pond.

“Boom rumble…”

Light scattered across the sky, and powerful fluctuations spread out in all directions.

At the moment when Lin Tianming sprung into action, the Earth Flame Dragon, which had been observing all along, also grew angry.

After all, a Demonic Beast is still a Demonic Beast, and even a late Third Order Earth Flame Dragon had Spirit Wisdom far below that of a normal Human Race.

Seeing that Lin Tianming took the initiative to attack, even though the Earth Flame Dragon had been quite wary before, it could not bear it any longer at this moment.

So, just as Lin Tianming made his move, the Earth Flame Dragon also roared to the sky in response.
