Chapter 1332: Golden Geocentric Flames

Jiang Yi had indeed escaped through the passageway!

He knew full well that the two gods were fighting above ground. He was only a shrimp; he was sure to die if he engaged in battle with any one of those gods. His only way out of death was to run away. The further he could run, the better. Wherever there was a road, he would run. Although he was likely to meet danger while running in this underground path with fire spurting out from time to time, he could not afford to care too much.

The passage was quite huge and deep. He had already run three hundred kilometers, but he still could not see the end of the road. How much longer was there to go? What could he expect to see inside? Jiang Yi had no idea. All he could do was continue to charge forward.

His injuries were pretty severe. If he did not have the medial-grade divine artifact battle armor, he guessed that he would have reunited with Xing Mo by now. He swallowed several recuperation medicines, and his strong body was already healing itself. Still, he guessed that he needed at least a few days before he would be fully recovered.

A hundred and fifty kilometers… two hundred kilometers!

He still could not see the end of this passageway. At that moment, he could feel some formless energy coming towards him. It was causing his body and his soul spirit to tremble. Someone was on his trail, and the divine senses of this person felt even stronger than Luo Lu’s.

Luo Ting only had one God King beside him. Now, this person’s identity was exposed: it was the man that Luo Qingyan instigated. Her man was now kicking him to the curb because he was of no use to them anymore.

“Goddammit!”

Jiang Yi cursed under his breath. He continued to run in a crazed manner. At the same time, a Thunderbolt Rock appeared in his hand. This was his last Thunderbolt Rock. This thing could not kill a God King, but he could only hope that some Yellow Scorpion Powder was still remaining on the outside. If there was, perhaps he could slow this God King down.

Jiang Yi would not give up until the final moment. Jiang Xiaonu was still in Blue Lion City. Yi Chan, Su Ruoxue, Yin Ruobing, and the others were still waiting for him to return. Yi Piaopiao was still being crushed under the divine mountain. He could not die. This was not the end of the road for him.

He entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. Using the flow of molten lava, he calculated the distance between him and the person chasing him. A few seconds later, huge bestial energy engulfed him, causing him to start. Was that Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast chasing this God King? This gave Jiang Yi a shred of hope.

Thirty kilometers, fifteen kilometers… ten kilometers!

Jiang Yi estimated the distance between him and the person chasing him. By the time Gu Mu was six kilometers away, he dared not risk it any further. After all, a God King’s attack must be terrifying. If he allowed the God King to get any closer, he would be in grave danger.

“Ha!”

He used the Fire Dragon Sword to attack his front aggressively. He activated the Divinity Slayer. Three Fire Dragons emerged, dragging the molten lava upwards with them. He did this not just to attack Gu Mu but to prevent the Thunderbolt Rock from exploding prematurely. He did not want to blow himself up accidentally.

“Go!”

The Thunderbolt Rock flew upwards suddenly. Gu Mu locked his gaze in on Jiang Yi, so that he could clearly see the latter’s every move. He wanted to close the distance between them before he attacked, but he was forced to stop now. The Thunderbolt Rock could not kill him, of course. It could not even do him much damage. However, Yellow Scorpion Powder was poisonous. If he had not been injured, this would not be a worry to him. Yet, he was badly injured now. If he became poisoned by the Yellow Scorpion Powder on top of this, he might be killed by the Chaos Beast following closely behind him.

Bang!

He used one hand to extinguish the three Fire Dragons at once. The Thunderbolt Rock exploded even before it could get too close to him. The energy from the explosion spread both upwards and downwards, extending the distance between Jiang Yi and Gu Mu by a few kilometers.

“Your grandfather…!”

Gu Mu could not help but curse loudly when he realized that the distance between him and Jiang Yi had grown, and the distance between him and the Chaos Beast had shortened. He swung his metal rod at the Chaos Beast once again. The passageway was not considered big to him. It was about three hundred meters in diameter. Thus, he could not expand his metal rod too long as well. Otherwise, the rebound effect would become stronger each time.

Hoo-hoo!

This time, the impact was worse. The Chaos Beasts spat out a ball of blood-red flames. Since the distance between it and him was short, the red flames engulfed his entire body. His skin emitted black smoke, and blood spurted out from all around. His heavenly powers were messed up as well, and his internal organs split apart even further. The high temperatures made him feel like he was being cooked alive.

“Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!”

The metal rod hit the sickle-like legs of the beast once again, and his body was pushed even further down the passageway. He let out a gut-wrenching scream. His eyes were filled with the wish to die. He could not escape anymore. He was going to die here for sure. However, he had to make sure that Jiang Yi was dead before he died. He had to finish the mission that Luo Qingyan issued to him.

Gu Mu’s divine senses locked in on the still-escaping Jiang Yi. Angrily, he called out, “Jiang Yi, you cannot run. Young Mistress wants you dead so you will die in this Fire Lake!”

Jiang Yi turned around with a mocking look on his face. “Hahaha, you are so seriously injured. I’m afraid you will be the one who will die here. Don’t worry… as long as I live, I will make sure that this news reaches Luo Qingyan. I will also make sure I r*pe your young mistress to take revenge on her for trying to kill me once I’m of no use to her.”

“Based on your own skills? Dream on!”

Gu Mu cried out in rage, speeding up as much as he could. Jiang Yi summoned a sword, however, forcing him to slow down. Balls of blue flames were shooting out of Jiang Yi’s palm and flying upward rapidly.

The flames carried with them very high temperatures. Of course, they were still weaker compared to the Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast’s flames. However, the problem was that his skin was already completely burned. If he remained in the high temperatures, he would surely become barbecued meat.

He stopped moving and quickly slammed the ground with a balm, causing the flames to bounce back. Then, he continued his chase. Jiang Yi used the impact of the rebound to move even quicker. It was a pity that he still could not see the end of the passageway. His heart sank slowly. His powers were far too weak.

“Jiang Yi, don’t blame me. If you must, blame yourself for being greedy! Not anyone can obtain these ten thousand battle merits. To pay for these ten thousand battle merits, one needs a million divine roots. Do you think Young Mistress would be willing to part with it? Dream on!”

The distance between them was closed up to just over ten kilometers now. The metal rod in Gu Mu’s hands lit up. He was beginning to summon nomological mystical abilities of his own now, ready to kill Jiang Yi.

“Eh? The passageway has become broader? There’s an underground lake up ahead as well? What’s that?”

At that moment, Jiang Yi realized that the passageway became broader. The bottom looked like an endless molten lava lake. His gaze was immediately captured by the golden light that was shining a few kilometers away from him. The color of the molten lava was originally red, but against the golden light, it became particularly attention-grabbing.

“Eh?”

The golden light caught Gu Mu’s attention as well because he realized that as he continued downward, the temperatures increased frighteningly. His divine senses scanned the golden light, and he immediately shouted, “The Golden Geocentric Flames?”

“The Golden Geocentric Flames?”

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. Why did the God King sound so terrified when he said these words? Why did he not feel the heat at all? His eyes brightened. Perhaps he did not need to die today. He just had to depend on these Golden Geocentric Flames. For all he knew, this God King might not dare to give chase anymore.

Tens of metal pearls appeared in his hands as he activated the Divinity Slayer at the same time. The Fire Dragons dragged the molten lava along with them. Then, Jiang Yi flew upwards into the air, screaming, “If I should die, I will drag you down with me! Explode!”

“Ah?”

Gu Mu’s divine senses had been focused on the Golden Geocentric Flames, but Jiang Yi’s words shocked him back to reality. When he saw the ten or so metal pearls, he naturally started. Immediately, he stopped moving and stood rooted to the ground. However, when his divine senses scanned them, he became angered again. These pearls were nothing but ordinary metal. They automatically melted along the way. They were not even Thunderbolt Rocks!

Swish!

In those few seconds, Jiang Yi flew towards the Golden Geocentric Flames. Gu Mu followed him for a few kilometers but discovered that the temperatures were getting even higher. He hesitated to get any closer. Instead, he used his divine senses to study the Fire Spirit Pearl in Jiang Yi’s hands. Shocked, he said, “Brat, I did not expect you to have such a powerful, fire-resistant treasure. You’re not even afraid of the Golden Geocentric Flames?”

“Hahaha!”

When Jiang Yi realized that Gu Mu did not dare to step any closer to him, he laughed in excitement. “I have many treasures with me. Aren’t you very powerful? You’re an Earth-Emanations-level commander, aren’t you? Come, come and kill me…”
