King of Creation Chapter 1821 - 1806: Dragon Scale False Body

Wang Baimu led Ye Zhen through the Molten Hell Sea for nearly nine days and had already reached the central area of the Molten Hell Sea.

The sky here was already filled with various smoke clouds tinged with a crimson hue, and the air temperature had long surpassed a hundred degrees.

Sweat would instantly vaporize into mist and disappear.

The air had become unbreathable, and six days ago, Ye Zhen had already switched to Inner Breathing, sustaining himself with Spiritual Power.

Moreover, because of the constant volcanic eruptions and terrifying energy discharges, Ye Zhen had to consistently immerse his Divine Sense into the Sword Palace of the Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace, maintaining a state of Sword Heart Enlightenment.

Only by maintaining Sword Heart Enlightenment could Ye Zhen sense the intense fluctuations of the underground energy beneath, thereby avoiding the deadly volcanic eruptions.

But keeping Sword Heart Enlightenment for nine days, as well as flying tirelessly for nine days, even Ye Zhen was struggling to hold on.

Throughout the nine days, numerous opportunities allowed Ye Zhen to essentially ascertain the level of Wang Baimu’s cultivation.

Peak of Ninth Stage Realm King Realm, a kind of expert on the verge of Half-step Dao Realm.

Additionally, as Mountain God Yi Xun had said, the Divine Power Secret Techniques of this Wang Baimu were presumably numerous, far surpassing those of an average Half-step Dao Realm.

Anyhow, during the nine days, Ye Zhen saw Wang Baimu display three types of Divine Power Secret Techniques.

What moved Ye Zhen deeply was one particular life-preserving Divine Skill Wang Baimu used.

Perhaps nine days of full concentration left even a master like Wang Baimu exhausted, and on two occasions, Wang Baimu became distracted and was hit directly by a soaring magma column.

Even a Half-step Dao Realm expert, if hit by such a magma column, would at best suffer serious injuries, if not face death.

However, Wang Baimu, upon being struck, shattered into a mass of black Qi.

As the magma column fell, the scattered black Qi coalesced, and Wang Baimu reappeared, though his breathing was somewhat rapid, and his chest was heaving violently.

It was evident that using this Divine Skill had consumed some caution.

This black Qi Divine Skill appeared once again, making Ye Zhen apprehensive.

Through careful observation, Ye Zhen realized Wang Baimu’s ability to disperse into black Qi was exceedingly formidable.

Under the assault of your Killing Move, he could disperse into black Qi and evade, much like an indestructible monster.

Progressing into the ninth day, Wang Baimu’s speed noticeably slowed.

At noon on the ninth day, Wang Baimu suddenly dove toward the crimson smoke clouds below.

Ye Zhen could only follow.

Passing through the hundreds-of-meters-thick crimson smoke clouds, Ye Zhen’s Protective Spirit Force formed by Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire began to fluctuate intensely, as the consumption of Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire started to multiply.

Ye Zhen silently pinched two Supreme Spirit Stones in his hand to replenish the consumed Spiritual Power.

The temperature continued to rise, and even shielded by the Protective Spirit Force formed by Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, Ye Zhen’s body, tempered by Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, was finding it hard to endure.

Compelled, Ye Zhen released a low, dragon-like hum, and black Dragon Scales with countless Mysterious Patterns swiftly covered Ye Zhen’s entire body, even a pattern similar to a Dragon Horn appeared on his forehead.

In an instant, those black Dragon Scales isolated the terrifying high temperatures, and a faint Primordial Aura spread from Ye Zhen’s body.

Wang Baimu, who was diving downward, suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Zhen, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Ye Zhen said nothing, merely accelerated to keep up.

Utilizing the Dragon Scale False Body within the Black Dragon Tyrant Body, the pressure on Ye Zhen within the Magma Hell Sea greatly reduced.

Dragon Scale False Body, one of Ye Zhen’s achievements from ten years of diligent cultivation within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Over the past ten years, besides enhancing his cultivation, Ye Zhen daily operated the Secret Technique of the Black Dragon Tyrant Body to refine and absorb the Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood and True Dragon Essence Blood previously acquired.

In the Mirage Dragon Pearl space, Ye Zhen took only five years to exhaust the previously obtained Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood and True Dragon Essence Blood.

The strength of Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Tyrant Body increased several times over, though he hadn’t yet surpassed his current realm.

Surpassing the current realm would require a vast amount of True Dragon Essence Blood or higher-grade Dragon Clan Blood Essence, but Ye Zhen’s Dragon Scale Spirit Armor underwent a complete transformation.

Through understanding or awakening, Ye Zhen comprehended the Dragon Clan’s Dragon Scale False Body, enabling Ye Zhen to condense Dragon Scales with Spiritual Power that inherited part of the Black Dragon’s properties.

After deploying the Dragon Scale False Body, covering his entire body with these fake Dragon Scales allowed Ye Zhen to momentarily possess part of the Dragon Clan’s formidable physical attributes.

Powerful defensive capabilities, impact resistance, water and fire immunity.

Especially Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Tyrant Body, inherited from the Ancient Black Dragon, possessed incredibly strong defensive capabilities.

Previously, Ye Zhen only knew the Dragon Scale False Body had strong defensive capabilities but was unaware of its impressive water and fire immunity.

Water and fire immunity is just a saying; there is no true water and fire immunity in the world, only relatively speaking.

In the presence of Purple Thunder Spirit Fire, treasures claimed to be water and fire immune might not withstand Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire.

However, Ye Zhen’s Dragon Scale False Body astoundingly impressed him with its performance in water and fire immunity.

Ye Zhen’s Spirit Armor formed by Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire and his body refined by it could not resist the high temperature at the center of the Molten Hell Sea. However, when he activated the Dragon Scale False Body, the burning heat suddenly disappeared, and he became enveloped in a refreshing coolness.

This greatly reduced Ye Zhen’s stress.

Although the consumption was somewhat significant, Ye Zhen’s cultivation after ten years of grueling practice in the Mirage Dragon Pearl was more than adequate.

Passing through layers of crimson smoke, Wang Baimu hovered above a magma sea below.

This was a true magma sea, seemingly boundless at first sight, with the sea below them churning like ocean waves.

But the most notable feature was the whirlpool at the very center of the magma sea.

It seemed as if magma from all directions converged here. From afar, the flow was somewhat slow, and the magma retained a slurry form.

But once the magma gathered here, the terrifying high temperature quickly made it as fluid as water, continuously swirling and rolling with waves.

The whirlpool of flowing magma resembled a monster capable of devouring all life, just a glance was enough to make one’s heart tremble.

"We’ve arrived." Wang Baimu exhaled a long breath, and lifted his head to swallow a handful of pills, indicating that even reaching here was consuming for someone with half-step Dao Realm cultivation.

"Let your master appear," Wang Baimu said.

Ye Zhen didn’t respond to Wang Baimu’s words directly, instead he retorted, "Arrived? It doesn’t seem like it. Your Shadow Capture Jade Slip shows a long magma passage.

Where is that magma passage? Why don’t I see it?"

"Once the person behind you arrives and presents the thirty Spirit Void Fruits as promised, I will naturally guide you into the passage from the Spirit Shadow Jade Slip."

"Is the person behind you still not coming out? Or are there some tricks being played?" Wang Baimu said with a sneer.

"Thirty Spirit Void Fruits, is it?"

A storage ring appeared in Ye Zhen’s palm, "Right here."

Wang Baimu was surprised, "You’ve been carrying the Spirit Void Fruits all along?"

"Why, is that not allowed?" Ye Zhen countered.

"Hehe, just unexpected. It seems the one behind you really trusts you." Wang Baimu remarked.

Wang Baimu’s words subtly probed Ye Zhen’s background, trying to discern whether the person behind Ye Zhen had arrived, making Ye Zhen more cautious.

"I’ve already shown the Spirit Void Fruits. Shouldn’t you guide me to the location of the magma passage now?" Ye Zhen asked.

"That was merely a storage ring, I didn’t see any Spirit Void Fruits." Wang Baimu shook his head.

The next instant, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense moved as thirty Spirit Void Fruits appeared in front of him under layers of protective Spiritual Power.

But they only appeared for an instant, and just when Wang Baimu saw them clearly, Ye Zhen withdrew the Spirit Void Fruits.

Wang Baimu, delighted, pointed to the whirlpool at the center of the magma sea below and said, "Jump into the center of that whirlpool. Below the magma, there’s mysteriously formed a magma passage.

It’s the same passage as shown in my Shadow Capture Jade Slip."

While speaking, Wang Baimu seemed to confirm his words by unleashing a fierce fist imprint towards the center of the whirlpool.

Like thunder, the center of the whirlpool erupted with magma, shooting upward and splattering.

As the magma splattered in all directions, a hollow red passage purely formed by spiraling magma appeared instantly.

This left Ye Zhen stupefied; such a miraculous phenomenon existed in the world.

"I’ve pointed out the entrance to the passage, deliver the Spirit Void Fruits to me!" Wang Baimu’s Divine Sense locked onto the storage ring in Ye Zhen’s hand at that moment.

"Okay!"

Wang Baimu was indeed trustworthy; since the deal was accomplished, Ye Zhen flicked his fingers and wrapped the storage ring in a wave of Spiritual Power, shooting it towards Wang Baimu who was hundreds of meters away.

Wang Baimu, delighted, promptly rushed towards the storage ring, laughing, "I’ve fulfilled my part of the bargain, it’s now up to you."

Almost simultaneously, the Void-Slaughtering Radiance inside Ye Zhen’s Xuan Palace suddenly jumped fiercely, and from three directions in the surrounding void erupted varying fluctuations.

Three immense, oceanic, and menacing Dao Realm auras burst forth simultaneously from the places of the void fluctuations.

The moment these three auras appeared, they simultaneously locked onto Ye Zhen.

Under the locking of these three Dao Realm auras and the pulling of Qi, Ye Zhen was momentarily immobilized, not daring to make any move.

If Ye Zhen dared to make any move under the pulling of Qi, it would invite an overwhelming attack from the three Dao Realm experts.

Under the overwhelming attack of three Dao Realm experts, Ye Zhen was sure he would have no chance of survival.

"Where did you get so many Spirit Void Fruits?" A twisted and awkward human language sounded from one of the Dao Realm experts.

Furious and frightened, Ye Zhen shouted at Wang Baimu, "Wang, did you set me up?"
