The giant dragon arrived in front of the jade platform in an instant, with an awe-inspiring presence.
It only needs to poke its head slightly to swallow Du Xuan on the jade platform whole.
Clearly, Du Xuan was well aware of this as well. In his panic, he quickly raised his hand and released a Great Geng Metal Innate Sword Qi. The sword qi roared out and swept up several jade boxes in the air.
At the same time, the giant dragon opened its blood-red maw and lunged forward.
Du Xuan glanced at the remaining treasure chests one last time, then resolutely activated the Thousand-Petaled Green Lotus beneath his feet, soaring into the sky like an arrow released from a bow, rapidly flying towards the sky above the sea of fire.
The Great Geng Metal Innate Sword Qi swept up the treasure box and followed closely behind him with a whooshing sound.
He flicked his sleeve and instantly put the treasure boxes into it.
Just then, the dragon roared furiously, its body enveloped in scorching flames, and suddenly stood up, chasing after Du Xuan relentlessly.
Du Xuan was extremely fast, able to fly hundreds of miles in an instant, but the dragon's speed was even more astonishing, catching up with him in the blink of an eye.
Left with no other choice, Du Xuan had to stop.
Du Xuan's expression was solemn as he silently chanted an incantation. A powerful surge of magical energy emanated from his body and gathered in his palm.
Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand sharply, and a dazzling ball of lightning appeared in his palm. The ball of lightning shimmered with brilliant light and contained endless lightning power.
With a flick of his wrist, Du Xuan sent the ball of lightning streaking across the sky like a meteor, hurtling towards the giant dragon with a fierce momentum.
The dragon was enormous, but its reaction was also extremely fast. Sensing the approaching danger, it immediately opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a ball of black flame in an attempt to intercept the lightning ball.
However, the lightning ball was extremely fast, instantly piercing through the black flames and striking the dragon directly.
"Boom!" A deafening roar resounded as the ball of lightning exploded on the dragon's body, sending countless bolts of lightning shooting out in all directions, as dazzling and spectacular as fireworks.
The dragon was struck hard, letting out a painful roar, its body trembling violently, clearly suffering a serious injury.
But it did not give up its attack; instead, it pounced on Du Xuan with even greater rage, moving several times faster than before.
Upon seeing this, Du Xuan inwardly cried out in alarm. He knew that the dragon was powerful, and although the attack had injured it, it had not posed a fatal threat.
He quickly urged the Thousand-Leaf Green Lotus to its limit again, and flew rapidly upwards.
At the same time, he continuously made hand seals, casting spells into the green lotus to enhance its defense and flight capabilities.
Driven by Du Xuan's full power, the Thousand-Petaled Green Lotus, like a bolt of lightning surrounded by clear light, swiftly traversed the void, creating distance between itself and the giant dragon.
As they approached the crater, Du Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Once they left the crater, they would be able to escape the dragon's pursuit.
However, at that moment, the dragon suddenly let out a deafening roar, its aura surged again, and its speed became even faster than before.
In just a few breaths, the giant dragon had caught up with Du Xuan. It opened its enormous claws, and with a fierce aura, it slashed fiercely at Du Xuan.
Du Xuan was startled and hurriedly raised his hand to release the Yi Wood Flying Sword.
A flash of green light appeared, and the Yi Wood Flying Sword transformed into a streak of light, slashing fiercely at the dragon's claw, instantly sending sparks flying.
However, the two were ultimately far apart in strength.
The dragon's claws paused only slightly before casually swiping away the Yi Wood Flying Sword as easily as swatting a fly.
Du Xuan's eyes widened in shock at the sight.
Immediately afterwards, the giant dragon opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Du Xuan.
Du Xuan didn't bother to retrieve the Yi Wood Flying Sword anymore, and immediately sent the Thousand-Petaled Green Lotus beneath him into the dragon's mouth.
Before the surrounding flames could surge in, he immediately made hand seals and chanted incantations, unleashing a fire escape technique.
In the blink of an eye, his body transformed into a streak of fire, shooting into the sky.
The giant dragon swallowed the enormous thousand-petaled blue lotus into its mouth, and immediately felt the lotus rapidly expand.
It bit down hard, shattering the green lotus. The dragon immediately straightened its body, locking onto Du Xuan's aura, and chased after him once more.
Du Xuan was in front, his body engulfed in raging flames, streaking across the sky like a shooting star as he swiftly traversed the sea of fire.
In the blink of an eye, he had burst out of the crater.
The giant dragon followed closely behind, also bursting out of the crater.
However, just as the dragon flew out of the volcano, a powerful, invisible pressure suddenly descended from the sky.
This invisible force originates from the jade pillar that suppresses the volcano, a forbidden technique personally set up by Bian Qingzi.
It turns out that this jade pillar not only suppressed the volcano, but also sealed the giant dragon here.
Even something as powerful as it could not withstand this immense pressure.
The dragon roared angrily, but its body involuntarily plummeted from mid-air, crashing straight into the crater and disappearing without a trace.
After Du Xuan emerged from the volcano, he dispelled his fire-escape technique and hovered quietly in the air.
He looked down at everything below, and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he looked down at the sea of fire below. Then he raised his hand and gently waved it downwards.
The next moment, a beam of azure light shot out from the sea of fire, flying towards him like lightning.
He stretched out his right hand and accurately caught the blue light.
After the blue light dissipated, a flying sword made of Yi wood, shimmering with blue light, appeared in his hand.
Du Xuan carefully examined the flying sword and found that the blade was badly damaged, with many cracks and gaps. He frowned and shook his head in disappointment.
This flying sword is severely damaged and almost unusable. It must be taken back and refined to restore its original power.
He carefully put away the Yi Wood Flying Sword, while calculating the time, realizing that there were less than a hundred breaths left before the jade pillar was suppressed again.
So he hurriedly used the Mind Light Escape Technique, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
After several teleportations, he successfully appeared in the main hall.
Just as he regained his footing and had no time to catch his breath, the jade pillar hanging in mid-air in front of him suddenly swayed slightly, emitting a low rumble, and then crashed down with astonishing speed.
Clearly, it was time for the jade pillar to return to its original position.
As the jade pillar fell into the cave and sank deeper, a rumbling sound followed.
After about ten breaths, the jade pillar finally quieted down again.
Du Xuan stepped forward and pushed hard against the jade pillar. The jade pillar, as if supporting the sky, did not even sway.
He nodded in satisfaction, then gently waved his sleeve. Several points of spiritual light flew out from his sleeve, instantly transforming into treasure boxes of varying sizes that hovered in mid-air, radiating a hazy, ethereal glow...
