Chapter 127 Grandmaster-level Star Beasts, a Battle That Destroys Heaven and Earth

fire-attribute energy crystals are a special type of energy stone, something that can be encountered but not sought.

They are formed from the condensation of the purest fire attribute essence and are incredibly precious.

A single fire-attribute energy crystal can match the Yuan Power contained in 100 lower-grade energy stones.

Not only can they rapidly increase one's fire attribute Yuan Power cultivation, but they can also strengthen fire attribute talents, making them rare treasures for fire attribute Martial Artists.

Their value is not inferior to the phoenix blood vermilion fruit in the slightest.

If he could obtain these crystals, his own cultivation speed would surely experience a massive surge.

Naturally, he could not let such rare items slip away.

Just as Chu Han was preparing to leap into the lava lake to claim these crystals, the volcano beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble violently.

The magma in the lava lake boiled even more frantically, countless bubbles burst wildly, and a terrifying Aura slowly rose from the bottom of the lake.

“Roar!”

A deafening roar erupted from the magma, carrying a berserk fire attribute power that caused the entire crater to tremble slightly.

Chu Han's expression changed, and he immediately took half a step back, staring warily at the lava lake.

He could sense that something terrifying beneath the magma was rapidly approaching him.

The crystals in the center of the lava lake were suddenly swept up by an invisible force and began sinking toward the bottom.

Immediately following that, the magma churned violently as a massive flame serpent slowly rose from the depths.

This giant serpent was over two hundred meters long, its entire body covered in crimson scales that burned with raging flames, looking as if it were made of solidified magma.

It had a sharp single horn on its head, its eyes flickered with a scarlet glow, and it continuously spat out pillars of fire. The Aura radiating from its body had shockingly reached Late Stage Rank 7.

This was a Grandmaster-level Star Beast that was about to transform into a flood dragon!

“A Late Stage Rank 7 great serpent!”

Chu Han's heart sank, and his expression became solemn.

Clearly, these fire attribute crystals were the items guarded by this Star Beast.

The pressure this great serpent exerted on him was comparable to the opponents on the 95th floor of the trial tower; its cultivation far exceeded his own.

Especially in this volcanic environment, the serpent's strength would be greatly amplified.

The only good news was that Chu Han himself was also fire-attributed.

This great serpent wouldn't have an elemental advantage over him; the gap was more about pure strength.

The great serpent was clearly full of hostility toward Chu Han, the intruder.

Coiled in the center of the lava lake, its massive head aimed at Chu Han, it spat out a thick pillar of fire. Carrying a world-burning Aura, it blasted toward Chu Han.

Wherever the fire pillar passed, the air was instantly ignited, and space began to distort, emitting ear-piercing crackling sounds.

Chu Han’s expression remained unchanged. He didn't dodge but instead activated his Flame God Body.

In the next instant, his entire being was swallowed by towering flames. Everything within a hundred-meter radius of him was instantly vaporized, and a terrifyingly high temperature permeated the surroundings.

But when the flames dissipated, Chu Han still stood perfectly intact upon the magma.

Red flames burned on his body, but he was not harmed in the least.

“It seems your flames are still a bit lacking.”

Chu Han adjusted his gravity to 1x and slammed his foot against the magma. He soared hundreds of meters into the air, looking down at the great serpent below.

“Take this palm strike!”

Chu Han circulated the Dragon Fire Yuan Power within his body, merging it with the Flame Gods Fire, and then struck out with a palm.

“Heaven Burning Palm!”

A massive amount of fire gushed from his palm, instantly covering the entire sky above the volcano, descending toward the great serpent with staggering might.

A flicker of emotion passed through the serpent's truck-sized pupils. It sensed a hint of danger and pressure from Chu Han's palm strike.

This indicated that Chu Han's flames were stronger and more powerful than its own!

A trace of greed appeared in the serpent's eyes. If it could devour this human, it could obtain the other's flame power!

It suddenly whipped its tail, and the blood-red serpent tail instantly lashed toward the giant palm print in the sky.

“Boom!”

The serpent's tail collided with the Heaven Burning Palm, producing an earth-shaking explosion.

The berserk fire energy instantly exploded, turning the sky above the crater into a sea of fire.

The tail pierced through the sea of fire, accompanied by bursts of sonic booms as it whipped toward Chu Han in mid-air at extreme speed.

Chu Han did not dare to be careless and immediately stimulated the energy of the Demonic Ape essence blood within his body.

“Demonic Ape Transformation!”

Chu Han's Aura surged violently, his stature instantly ballooned, and his muscles bulged. Coupled with the red scales covering his body, he looked even more ferocious, like a deity.

Facing the oncoming serpent tail, Chu Han threw a punch.

This punch didn't use any Martial Skill, only the purest strength.

“Boom!”

Another loud crash sounded as the serpent's tail was knocked down by Chu Han's punch, slamming heavily into the magma below.

The crater was instantly thrown into turmoil with towering waves, as crimson magma splashed a hundred meters high, raining down magma all around the volcano.

Chu Han, suspended in the air, was also shaken back by the massive impact, his arm feeling slightly numb.

“What powerful strength!” Chu Han was secretly shocked.

Even with the terrifying power of his Flame God Body combined with the Demonic Ape Transformation, he gained no upper hand in a contest of strength against this two-hundred-meter-long Late Stage Rank 7 giant serpent.

This serpent's physical strength far exceeded his imagination.

Just as Chu Han stabilized himself, the crater beneath him trembled violently. The magma in the lake churned frantically, and a massive figure wreathed in flames suddenly lunged out—it was the flame serpent, enraged to the extreme!

Its speed was several times faster than before. Its entire massive body surged out of the magma, its bloody maw opened to the limit as it lunged at Chu Han.

Chu Han's eyes narrowed as Yuan Power gushed from his feet.

With the help of his Yuan Power, his body suddenly rose higher, avoiding the direct impact of the serpent's head.

But the serpent seemed to have anticipated this; its massive tail instantly swept across, cutting off Chu Han's path of retreat.

“It’s gotten smarter!”

Chu Han gave a cold laugh. The Dragon Fire Yuan Power within his body circulated frantically, merging perfectly with the Flame Gods Fire, and a brilliant burst of fire light erupted around him.

He reached back and drew his flame demon battle saber. The dark-red blade was instantly wrapped in flames, and his Saber Force suddenly condensed, giving rise to an unstoppable momentum.

“Flame Dragon Slash!”

With a low shout, Chu Han gripped the saber with both hands and slashed down fiercely.

A red flame dragon over fifty meters long roared out from the blade, carrying a momentum that could incinerate all things, as it slammed hard into the head of the flame star serpent.

“Boom!”

The flame dragon collided violently with the serpent's head. The massive fire Yuan Power exploded instantly, forming a terrifying energy storm.

The great serpent let out a shrill scream of pain. The scales on its head shattered and flew everywhere, and several deep, bone-deep wounds appeared instantly.

However, its ferocity had been completely triggered. Even though it was heavily injured, its attacks did not pause for a second.

Enduring the lingering force of the Flame Dragon Slash's explosion, it opened its bloody maw once more and took a sudden, massive breath!

A terrifying suction force erupted. The flames, magma, and rubble around the crater—even the surrounding air—were all sucked into the serpent's mouth.

Chu Han felt a massive pulling force; his body flew toward the serpent's mouth, out of his control.

“Not good!”

Chu Han was startled and immediately released his Yuan Power, trying to break free from the suction.

But the serpent's suction was far stronger than he had anticipated.

In less than a second, he was pulled to the edge of the serpent's maw.

“Since you want to eat me, then I'll grant your wish!”

Since he couldn't break free, Chu Han stopped resisting and allowed the suction to pull him into the serpent's belly.
