Panlong's Transcendental Fire

Chapter 34 Battle and Ascension to Godhood in the Monster Mountain Range

After the battles at Vulcan Mountain a few days ago, Lin Tian gained a deeper understanding of the profound mysteries of the fire element.

Having visited all the Fire-type Saint-level experts who had good relations with Potter, there were no new Saint-level experts left to fight Lin Tian. Moreover, since it was a sparring match, Lin Tian could only rely on his profound understanding of the mysteries of the fire element to exploit the weaknesses of the opponent's fire-type laws. He was mostly on the defensive and had not yet launched any offensive attacks. In his future training, Lin Tian wanted to showcase his offensive capabilities.

Lin Tian shared his ideas with Potter and Lauen, and the three of them headed to the Monster Mountain Range to find Holy Domain Monsters to fight and further hone Lin Tian's strength.

The three traveled swiftly and soon arrived at the edge of the Monster Mountain Range. Here, towering trees and a rich natural atmosphere were tinged with a hint of danger. Potter said gravely, "Lin Tian, ​​the Monster Mountain Range is home to many Saint-level monsters, each with unique understandings of laws and innate abilities. You must be extremely careful on this trip."

Laun nodded in agreement: "That's right, these holy domain monsters won't hold back. Every battle is a life-or-death test, but it's precisely this kind of tempering that will help you grow faster."

Lin Tian's eyes shone with excitement and determination: "Grandpa and Teacher Lao En, don't worry, I'm ready."

Upon entering the mountain range, Lin Tian headed deep into the Monster Mountain Range to the area where Saint-level magical beasts roamed. He soon encountered his first Saint-level magical beast—the Ironmane Rock Bear. This giant bear was enormous, about the size of a small mountain, covered in black fur as hard as rock, and exuding a heavy aura of the laws of the earth.

Upon seeing the three, the Ironmane Rock Bear roared, its voice like rolling thunder, shaking the surrounding trees. It declared, "Humans, you have crossed the line!"

Lin Tian didn't speak, but stepped forward and released his aura.

Enraged, the Ironmane Rock Bear stomped its forelimbs, causing the earth to tremble instantly. Sharp rocks jutted out from the ground and hurtled towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian's eyes narrowed, and he launched the first attack. He unleashed the profound mysteries of the fire element, his body engulfed in raging flames. The flames, like agile sprites, rapidly coalesced into streaks of fiery sword energy, shooting towards the protruding rocks. The fiery sword energy collided with the rocks, producing booming sounds, and the rocks shattered one after another.

Seeing this, the Ironmane Rock Bear became even more enraged. It flashed forward, charging towards Lin Tian like a black cannonball, its paw raised high, ready to slam down with immense force. Lin Tian, ​​undaunted, instantly transformed into a fire elemental being, like a wisp of light flame, drifting past the bear's paw.

"A perfect opportunity!" Lin Tian thought to himself with delight. Taking advantage of the Ironmane Rock Bear's missed attack, he condensed a fireball, compressed to its ultimate form by the profound mysteries of the fire element, and shot it towards the Ironmane Rock Bear's abdomen. The fireball exploded the moment it touched the Ironmane Rock Bear's body, and the powerful impact caused the Ironmane Rock Bear's massive body to sway slightly.

The Iron-Maned Rock Bear roared in pain. It opened its massive jaws, and a dense, earthy-yellow light burst forth, instantly forming a thick layer of jade armor on its body. Lin Tian frowned slightly, realizing that this rock bear had a profound understanding of the laws of the earth, and that simple fire attacks would not be able to break through its defenses.

Then, amidst the fierce battle, Lin Tian kept thinking about how to break the deadlock. Suddenly, an inspiration flashed in his mind. He tried to compress the fire element to its ultimate extent and rotate it continuously to form a rotating drill.

Lin Tian fired a spinning drill at the jade armor, which gradually cracked under its attack. The Ironmane Rock Bear watched in horror as its jade armor broke, and turned to flee. Lin Tian wouldn't let this opportunity pass; he once again unleashed the profound mysteries of the fire element, flames binding the Ironmane Rock Bear's limbs like ropes, rendering it immobile.

Immediately afterward, Lin Tian conjured a powerful fiery blade and stabbed it fiercely at the Ironmane Rock Bear. With a scream, the Ironmane Rock Bear collapsed to the ground, showing no signs of life.

"Lin Tian, ​​well done! Your mastery of the profound mysteries of the fire element is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and your combat ability is too strong. This method of using rotation to break through defenses is quite novel," Potter praised.

Laun nodded and smiled, "That's right. Being able to react quickly in actual combat and constantly explore the potential of the mysterious fire element will surely lead to even greater achievements in time."

Lin Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you, Grandpa and Teacher Lao En."

After Lin Tian disposed of the Ironmane Rock Bear's corpse, the three continued deeper into the mountains. Soon after, they encountered a Snow Feather Ice Phoenix exuding an icy aura. This ice phoenix had a slender body, its feathers shimmering with a crystalline blue light, each feather seemingly containing endless coldness; it was a powerful being of the water element.

Upon seeing the three, the Snow Feather Ice Phoenix let out a clear phoenix cry, the sound like countless ice blades slicing towards Lin Tian and his companions. Lin Tian swiftly unleashed the profound mysteries of the fire element, forming a fiery barrier in front of him to block the ice blades' attack. The ice blades collided with the flames, producing a sizzling sound, and then transformed into droplets of water.

Seeing this, the Snow Feather Ice Phoenix spread its wings, unleashing countless ice spikes that rained down from the sky like a dense storm. Lin Tian did not retreat; he unleashed the profound mysteries of the fire element, transforming himself into a fire elemental being, moving freely through the gaps in the ice spikes. At the same time, he continuously gathered flames and shot them towards the Snow Feather Ice Phoenix.

The Snow Feather Ice Phoenix nimbly dodged the flame attacks, then suddenly spat out a blue icy flame. This flame was extremely cold, freezing the air into ice crystals wherever it passed. Lin Tian sensed the powerful force of the icy flame and quickly condensed the profound mysteries of the fire element in front of him, creating a huge vortex of fire.

The vortex of flames spun wildly, drawing in the icy flames. The icy flames and fire collided and neutralized each other within the vortex, erupting in a dazzling display of light. Taking advantage of this, Lin Tian launched another attack, unleashing the profound mysteries of the fire element to their fullest extent. The flames surged towards the Snow Feather Ice Phoenix like fiery dragons.

Sensing the danger, the Snow Feather Ice Phoenix flapped its wings, forming a thick layer of ice in front of it. The fire dragon crashed into the ice, producing a series of booming sounds. Lin Tian knew that breaking through this ice layer would not be easy, and he began to think about how to further enhance the power of his flames.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Tian. He remembered the ability to fuse elements at will that he had previously comprehended. He concentrated his mind and fully displayed the profound and transformative power of the fire element. The shape of the flames instantly underwent a wondrous change. The flames became more dispersed, displaying their agility as they weaved through the almost non-existent gaps in the ice layer, dismantling its integrity.

Lin Tian launched another attack. This time, the flames easily pierced through the ice and struck the Snow Feather Ice Phoenix. The Snow Feather Ice Phoenix let out a mournful cry and fell from the sky.

Lin Tian was slightly out of breath, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Through the battle with this ice phoenix, I have gained a deeper understanding of the profound fusion of the fire element, and I feel that my control over flames has reached a new level."
