Chapter 1661: Chapter 818: Skyfire Sect’s Assistance, Slaying the Blazing Fire Snake!
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, then simultaneously stepped into the cave.
The interior of the cave was much more spacious than they had imagined, with a massive magma pool in the center, where a Crystal Stone emitting a gentle glow floated.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were attracted by the beauty of the Crystal Stone, but at the same time, they felt a powerful force.
"The power contained in this Crystal Stone is extraordinary, we must handle it carefully." Luo Chen said cautiously.
Qing Shuang nodded and began to attempt communication with the Crystal Stone using spells, trying to understand its nature.
Luo Chen kept watch nearby, in case other creatures appeared suddenly.
After some effort, Qing Shuang finally established a connection with the Crystal Stone.
The Crystal Stone contained an ancient and powerful Fire Element force, which seemed capable of enhancing a Cultivator’s fire magic.
"Luo Chen, this Crystal Stone is a major opportunity for us, but also a huge challenge. We need to carefully absorb its power, otherwise we might be engulfed by its overwhelming energy." Qing Shuang said seriously.
Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then replied, "Let’s first set up a temporary Defensive Magic Array here to ensure we won’t be disturbed while absorbing the power."
The two began to busy themselves, with Luo Chen setting up the Defensive Magic Array while Qing Shuang continued to communicate with the Crystal Stone, searching for the optimal method to absorb its power.
Just as Qing Shuang was about to absorb the power within the Crystal Stone.
Footsteps suddenly reached Luo Chen’s ears.
"Someone’s coming?"
"And quite a few at that..."
"Things are getting a bit troublesome!"
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly exchanged a glance, aware that a tough battle might be imminent.
Luo Chen swiftly checked the Defensive Magic Array to ensure it could withstand the impending threat.
Qing Shuang gripped her Magic Wand tightly, ready to cast spells at any moment.
"We first need to find out who they are." Luo Chen whispered, his gaze scanning through the cave entrance, trying to discern the activities outside.
"Yes, if they’re friendly Cultivators, we might consider an alliance, but if they’re foes, we’ll need to prepare for battle." Qing Shuang added, her voice tinged with a hint of tension.
The footsteps grew nearer, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang pressed against the rock wall, trying their best to remain unseen.
Soon, a group of Cultivators appeared at the cave entrance, dressed uniformly, indicating they belonged to a particular Cultivation Sect.
"Looks like it’s the people from the Skyfire Sect." Luo Chen recognized their attire and whispered to Qing Shuang.
The Skyfire Sect was a nearby Cultivation Sect known for its fire magic, and its strength was not to be underestimated.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang both knew that conflicting with such a sect was not a wise move.
"Let’s not act rashly and see what they intend to do." Qing Shuang suggested.
The Skyfire Sect’s Cultivators seemed unaware of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s presence, heading straight toward the Crystal Stone in the magma pool’s center.
The leader, a middle-aged man, clearly their chief, observed the Crystal Stone intently, greed sparkling in his eyes.
"This Crystal Stone contains pure Fire Element Origin Power. If we acquire it, the strength of our Skyfire Sect will surely soar!" The middle-aged man said excitedly.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, realizing that if the Skyfire Sect truly acquired the Crystal Stone, they would face an even greater threat.
"We can’t let them succeed." Luo Chen said quietly, determination in his voice.
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing Luo Chen spoke the truth.
The two began quietly adjusting the Defensive Magic Array, ready to launch an attack at a crucial moment.
The Skyfire Sect’s Cultivators began attempting to absorb the power within the Crystal Stone, but clearly underestimated its power.
Just as they were about to act, the Crystal Stone suddenly erupted with a dazzling light, a wave of potent energy radiating outward.
"No, the Crystal Stone is reacting!" the Skyfire Sect leader exclaimed.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang seized the opportunity and simultaneously launched an attack.
Luo Chen’s Blood Slaughter Blade sent a scarlet beam of light straight for the Skyfire Sect leader, while Qing Shuang cast a potent Water Element spell, attempting to neutralize the Crystal Stone’s upheaval.
Caught off guard, the Skyfire Sect’s Cultivators were completely unprepared for Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s sudden assault.
The battle quickly unfolded within the cave, flames and water intertwining, with energy waves surging continuously.
After a fierce battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, through seamless cooperation and familiarity with the environment, ultimately repelled the Skyfire Sect’s Cultivators.
The Skyfire Sect leader glared at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang malevolently before leaving, clearly holding a grudge.
"We must absorb the Crystal Stone’s power quickly, or the Skyfire Sect won’t let this go." Luo Chen said, his gaze landing once more on the Crystal Stone.
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing Luo Chen spoke the truth.
The two began to carefully absorb the power from the Crystal Stone according to their prior preparations.
As the power surged into them, their cultivation began to rise swiftly, yet simultaneously, they also sensed the peril contained within the Crystal Stone.
"We must be cautious not to be devoured by the power." Luo Chen reminded.
Qing Shuang concentrated fully on absorbing the power, aware that this was an excellent opportunity to enhance her cultivation, but also knowing that loss of control could lead to unimaginable consequences.
After a period of effort, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally succeeded in absorbing the power from the Crystal Stone.
