Chapter 90: The Ancient Flame Spear

The moment Long Feng entered the lava, terrifying heat surrounded him from every direction.

The world around him instantly became completely crimson.

There was no sound from the outside world anymore, only the endless movement of molten lava surging around his body. Waves of scorching heat continuously pressed against him, as though countless burning blades were scraping across his skin.

Even with the Hell Python Flame protecting his body, Long Feng could still clearly feel the terrifying temperature.

His spiritual energy rapidly circulated throughout his body, forming another layer of protection around his flesh.

’Hiss~ This is much hotter than I expected.’

Long Feng gritted his teeth and continued descending.

Ten meters.

Twenty meters.

Fifty meters.

The deeper he went, the more terrifying the pressure became.

The lava above him gradually disappeared into darkness, while the surroundings became increasingly oppressive.

Even the Hell Python Flame around his body began flickering slightly under the terrifying heat.

Long Feng continued swimming downward.

Ye Wuxie should have entered around here yet there was still no sign of him.

’That guy really went this deep?’

Long Feng’s eyes narrowed, thinking how did Ye Wuxie did this with his mere cultivation.

But then again, comparing a protagonist’s capability with his rank, was a foolish decision.

He continued descending without hesitation until he finally reached at one hundred meters of depth.

The depth beneath the surface was already astonishing.

’How deep is this place?’

Long Feng’s expression gradually became serious.

Suddenly, his gaze caught something beneath him. Something was lying at the bottom of the lava.

At first, it looked like a pile of enormous rocks. But as Long Feng approached, his pupils slowly contracted.

It was a skeleton, a gigantic skeleton.

But he quickly realized that it wasn’t human.

The enormous bones clearly belonged to some kind of gigantic beast. Its skull was enormous, with long, sharp fangs still attached to its jaw. Its four limbs were thick and powerful, while its entire skeleton was much larger than that of any ordinary beast.

From its overall structure, it somewhat resembled a lion or tiger.

But whatever creature it had been when alive, its size had definitely been terrifying. Even after death, the skeleton gave Long Feng an inexplicable feeling of oppression.

"What kind of beast was this?"

Long Feng carefully examined the skeleton, then his gaze suddenly stopped.

Someone was standing inside the enormous beast’s chest cavity. It was Ye Wuxie.

’So you really came here.’

Ye Wuxie was focused on something in front of him.

Long Feng followed his gaze and found something that changed his expression.

There was a spear embedded deep into the ground.

Its surface was dark golden, with ancient patterns running across its body like dried blood veins. Faint golden-red light continuously flowed through those patterns.

More importantly, terrifying flames surrounded the spear.

The flames didn’t simply burn around it, instead, seemed to originate from the spear itself.

Even through the surrounding lava, Long Feng could clearly sense the violent flame energy constantly radiating from it.

But at this moment, there were several strange black chains winding tightly around the spear.

They extended from a strange black hole above Ye Wuxie’s head. It looked exactly like the mysterious black hole Long Feng had seen before.

The same strange technique Ye Wuxie had once used to trap his Sky Demon Claw.

It seems that Ye Wuxie was using those chains to pull the weapon out.

Long Feng immediately understood this situation. So this bastard found another opportunity.

An ancient and mysterious weapon.

Ye Wuxie’s expression was extremely serious. His spiritual energy surged violently. The black hole above his head trembled, tightening the chains around the spear.

"Come out!"

BOOM!

Ye Wuxie exerted all his strength. The chains instantly became taut. The surrounding lava violently surged.

The enormous beast skeleton beneath their feet trembled slightly, yet the spear remained completely unmoved.

Ye Wuxie’s expression became increasingly ugly.

He had already been trying for quite some time. But despite using the strange black chains, he still couldn’t pull the spear out.

The terrifying flame energy surrounding the weapon continuously erupted, making even his powerful body struggle to withstand the heat.

Ye Wuxie gritted his teeth and increased the power of the black hole.

BOOM!

The chains trembled violently and the spear finally moved, but barely.

He was just starting to feel happy when suddenly his eyes suddenly narrowed as sensed something dangerous behind him.

A powerful attack came crashing through the lava and bang!

Ye Wuxie’s body was blasted forward. His body crashed heavily against the enormous beast skeleton.

The black hole above his head flickered violently before the chains disappeared back into it.

His expression became cold as he immediately turned around.

Long Feng slowly emerged from the surrounding lava.

His figure was protected by the Hell Python Flame, while a faint layer of red spiritual energy surrounded his body.

Ye Wuxie’s pupils contracted. He hadn’t expected Long Feng to follow him all the way down here.

Their eyes met for a moment.

There was no friendliness in either gaze, only hostility.

Long Feng’s attention quickly shifted toward the spear. The moment he looked at it more carefully, his interest became even stronger.

Ye Wuxie also noticed this. His expression immediately became colder. He had already spent so much effort trying to obtain the weapon.

Naturally, he wasn’t going to allow Long Feng to take it.

Ye Wuxie instantly rushed forward.

BOOM!

His fist tore through the surrounding lava and smashed toward Long Feng.

But Long Feng raised his arm with a smile and met his incoming attack.

Bang!

The two forces collided and the surrounding lava exploded violently.

Ye Wuxie’s body was thrown backward, but Long Feng remained in place for a moment before also retreating several steps.

His eyes narrowed.

This guy’s strength had indeed increased. But Long Feng wasn’t interested in fighting him here.

His gaze returned to the spear as he stepped forward. The closer he got, the more terrifying the temperature became.

Even the Hell Python Flame around his body began trembling.

’What terrifying flame energy.’

Long Feng’s expression became serious as he extended his right hand. The moment his fingers approached the spear, a terrifying wave of heat erupted.

Hiss!

Long Feng’s skin instantly turned red. A sharp pain spread through his hand and he immediately withdrew slightly.

’So damn hot!’

He finally knew why was this bastard using his special treasure to grip the spear instead of his hands.

This wasn’t ordinary heat.

The flame energy surrounding the spear was extremely violent, almost as though it was rejecting every living being that attempted to approach it.

Long Feng’s eyes flashed. His left hand suddenly transformed, crimson scales rapidly covered his arm. His fingers elongated and transformed into sharp demonic claws.

This was his strongest physical state.

His left hand had already been tempered by powerful energy before, making its physical defense far greater than ordinary cultivators.

Even so, the moment his demonic claw approached the spear, the terrifying heat still caused intense pain.

Hiss!

The crimson scales began to crack slightly. Long Feng’s expression remained unchanged.

"It hurts... but men don’t feel pain"

He gritted his teeth and didn’t release his grip.

He was simply enduring the terrifying heat through his powerful physical body. His eyes became increasingly sharp.

BOOM!

His entire body erupted with strength, causing the spear trembled.

Ye Wuxie’s eyes widened slightly.

He had used those strange black chains to pull it for so long, yet Long Feng had actually made the spear move with his bare hand.

A cold glint flashed through Ye Wuxie’s eyes. He immediately attacked again.

Swish-

His fist slammed toward Long Feng who used his right hand to met him.

BOOM!

The two collided and tremendous force sent Ye Wuxie sliding backward through the lava.

’So you don’t want to get me this. Then this thing is definitely extraordinary. Let’s see..."

His spiritual energy erupted. The muscles throughout his body tightened. The demonic scales on his arm creaked under the terrifying pressure.

Under his monstrous strength, the spear trembled violently. The ground beneath it cracked.

This scene made Ye Wuxie’s pupils contracted.

As Long Feng pulled harder, the entire underground area shook.

"Come out!"

BOOM!

A terrifying force erupted from his body and the spear suddenly broke free from the ground.

At that instant, a violent wave of flame energy exploded from the weapon.

Long Feng’s body staggered backward several steps with a jolt.

’Damn it!"

The spear was not large, yet its weight was horrifying.

It felt as though he had just pulled an entire mountain out of the ground. His arm sank slightly from the weight, but he refused to release it.

The ancient patterns on its surface began glowing beneath the surrounding lava.

Ye Wuxie stared at the scene in disbelief.

He had used his mysterious black chains to pull the spear because he couldn’t directly withstand its terrifying flame energy.

Yet Long Feng had actually grabbed it with his transformed hand and forcibly pulled it out.

A trace of shock appeared in Ye Wuxie’s eyes, but Long Feng had no intention of giving him time to recover.

He immediately tried to put the spear into his storage ring to finish off his target.

But... nothing happened.

Long Feng froze. His expression slowly changed.

"What?"

He tried again and still nothing. The spear remained firmly in his hand.

"What kind of damn thing it is? Can’t store in storage ring?"

Long Feng’s face twitched, but he used his firm mind and immediately tried his Beast Storage Pouch.

But then again, nothing happened.

The spear didn’t disappear.

Long Feng tried several more times. The result remained exactly the same. He couldn’t put it into either storage space.

His expression became complicated.

’What the hell is going on?’
