Su Rui, like a nimble fish, quietly dove into the scorching, roiling magma. Seeing this, the White Bone God and the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, simultaneously launched a ferocious attack on the magma.
Facing this sudden attack, Su Rui dodged, narrowly avoiding the Five Ghost Heavenly King's swing of the Bone Soul-Locking Hammer. However, before he could even catch his breath, the Bone Lord's massive, razor-sharp claws swooped in, striking him hard in the chest. Instantly, excruciating pain washed over Su Rui, who felt as if his chest were about to explode, and several ribs shattered.
At this critical moment, Thunder Scale seemed to sense the danger of its master. It quickly turned back, carrying the injured Su Rui, and rushed deeper into the cave at an astonishing speed. Thanks to Thunder Scale's help, they successfully avoided the fatal blow from the White Bone God.
Despite his lucky escape, Su Rui's injuries were too severe. After escaping the pursuit of the White Bone God and the Five Ghost Kings, he endured the pain and found a narrow crevice in the depths of the underground fire as a shelter. He began to absorb the surrounding fire elements to repair his damaged meridians and bones.
However, the good times didn't last long. Before long, Su Rui's keen senses allowed him to detect the presence of the White Bone God and the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings again. Fortunately, he had already refined some of the Fire Element, which had increased his strength. Furthermore, his body, the Tongbi Divine Ape, was naturally well-suited to the lava environment. This allowed him to calmly slip through the cracks in the ground and into a secluded side road, thus evading the two's pursuit once again.
However, after reaching the fork in the road, Su Rui suddenly fell into confusion, completely losing his sense of direction. He didn't dare look back, thinking to himself: If the White Bone God and the Five Ghost Kings discovered him and caught up with him, I would be walking into a trap and dying in vain! Helplessly, he gritted his teeth and mustered his courage, diving down towards the center of the earth.
Perhaps it was because this fork in the road was too hidden, or perhaps it was because the temperature of the magma was too high—after all, the White Bone God and the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings had no magical weapons to resist the volcanic fire, and their profound cultivation alone could not withstand such a scorching environment for long. In short, since Su Rui had been fleeing deep into the earth's core, he had not sensed the presence of those two people behind him. This unexpected change finally made Su Rui's heart settle a little, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
You must know that his injuries were extremely severe at this point, and the pain he endured during his desperate escape had already left him exhausted and exhausted. So, Su Rui decided to find another safe place to rest. He soon found a relatively secluded rock cave, instructed Lei Lin to remain vigilant, and then he fell asleep against the rock wall.
Unbeknownst to Su Rui, as he slept, the surrounding fire element suddenly began to stir. In sync with his steady breathing, it surged into his body like a tidal wave. Then, an astonishing scene unfolded—his previously sealed acupuncture points opened one by one, and countless blazing flames erupted from them, as scorching as a dragon's breath. These flames gradually converged and merged, eventually forming a thick, red, hard shell that enveloped Su Rui like a giant cocoon of fire.
On the surface of this fire cocoon, a faint black dragon-shaped shadow was swimming leisurely. It was the spiritual remnant of the black dragon evil that had been absorbed before.
At the same time, a lizard happily swimming in the lava seemed to have sensed something alluring and swam directly towards the fire cocoon, clearly intent on tasting this rare delicacy. However, just as it was about to approach the fire cocoon, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky! In an instant, the fire lizard was decapitated, and its scalding blood, mixed with the burning flames, splashed onto the fire cocoon, adding a faint golden glow to the originally pure red flames.
Since then, more and more small creatures living in the lava environment have become aware of the existence of this mysterious fire cocoon for various reasons, and all of them want to go forward and take a bite of it, but they all suffer the same horrible fate without exception: a merciless lightning bolt falls from the sky, instantly splitting these poor little guys in half, and scarlet and burning blood falls down, becoming nutrients that nourish the growth of the fire cocoon.
Su Rui slept for three days. When he awoke, his injuries had completely vanished, and his Tongbi Divine Ape body had even been slightly strengthened. This was truly miraculous. It had been a long time since he'd left the Heshan Mountains with the Red Dragon. If he hadn't heard about the underground wells on Black Sand Island, along with the Earth Heart and Earth Lungs, and the Earth Extreme True Fire he needed, he wouldn't have fallen into the magma.
However, regarding the reasons for the recovery of his injuries and the strengthening of the body of the Tongbi Shenyuan, Su Rui secretly speculated that perhaps all this was closely related to the Longevity Vine Fruit he had eaten!
At this moment, his Tongbi Shenyuan body had reached the seventh level of transformation, and the next stage was to condense the demonic body. The Immortal Vine Fruit possessed a unique advantage in purifying the bloodline, and was particularly beneficial for condensing the demonic body. Su Rui had previously consumed the Immortal Vine Fruit, but it had not produced any noticeable changes. Now, with the Tongbi Shenyuan body severely damaged and situated within a familiar environment of earth and fire, it was a perfect combination of timing and location. The accumulated effects of the Immortal Vine Fruit's bloodline purification had finally triggered a minor qualitative change, allowing it to take a small step towards condensing the demonic body. This was a reasonable assumption.
