With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal

Chapter 479 - 440: I Harnessed the Power of the Volcano, Transformed My Inner Breath, and Ignited!

The magma pool "gurgled" with bubbling heat, boiling like molten gold.Meng Chuan fell into the "water" in an instant, causing scarlet waves to splash several zhang high.

Upon striking the rock wall, a large amount of charred black rock was eroded and fell down in fragments.

Meng Chuan’s body, like a large weight, sank straight to the bottom of the magma lake.

He overlooked one issue, which was just how heavy he had become...

Suffice it to say, like half a small city SUV...

The magma washed over his protective True Qi shield, "fizzling" with small bubbles.

Upon reaching the bottom, his soles felt a soft, somewhat hot sensation.

This was the semi-coagulated magma layer.

With a point of his toes, Meng Chuan surged out of the magma.

Taking a breath into his lungs, he barely floated on the surface.

Only then did he open his eyes to look around, carefully experiencing the searing sensation spreading through his limbs and bones soaked in magma.

The temperature was indeed high; he estimated it to be at least eight or nine hundred degrees, possibly even over a thousand.

"But fortunately, I can endure this kind of temperature..."

Gradually, he withdrew all his defensive techniques.

Only leaving his True Qi swirling around his body as a precaution.

At the moment of direct contact, the magma directly burrowed into his body through his pores.

The sensation on his skin, the heat, intensified into a burning pain.

Even with each breath, his lungs felt like bellows, exhaling fire.

"Whew... it sure is exhilarating..."

His skin turned crimson, the magma winding through the grooves of his muscles, forming an extraordinary and terrifying sight.

Bit by bit, Meng Chuan attempted to acclimate to this extreme heat.

He even did a backstroke lap in the magma, his back enveloped by a sticky, gooey feeling, which felt quite amazing...

Swimming in a magma lake could be considered unlocking an achievement in the martial arts world...

After all, typical martial artists, without such robust Hard Skills, could never attempt such a feat...

Coming back to his senses, the thrill in Meng Chuan’s heart passed.

His body also fully adjusted to this extreme environment, beginning to focus on the task.

Deep within his sea of consciousness, his once warm internal breath became scalding hot, seemingly influenced by the magma lake and undergoing transformation.

A light red Qi shield enveloped his body, while golden illusory flames ignited atop it.

The two devoured and merged with the surrounding magma, gradually becoming one.

Time slowly passed, making the entire magma lake feel extremely oppressive.

The air grew even more suffocating, a place where an ordinary martial artist would struggle to breathe.

This was how Meng Chuan borrowed the volcanic environment to "harness momentum" and enter his own Fire Attribute momentum.

Truly achieving a state like fierce flames.

Meng Chuan continued to slowly alter the environment around him while maintaining his Martial Arts Momentum.

Through introspection, Qi Blood from the external environment transported the essence "spiritual breath" within the magma.

Filling various acupoints and stars, eventually converging at the spring eye of his sea of consciousness.

After staying in the magma for so long, Meng Chuan’s body unexpectedly felt a sense of comfort.

"I’m already very accustomed to this temperature. Next, let’s utilize the magma to refine my sea of consciousness spring eye, driving the advancement of the Boiling Flame."

Nearly three hours later, he closed his eyes and exhaled, sparks unavoidably spewing from his mouth.

The unconverted neutral internal breath flowed through his meridians, warm like tempered jade.

Just a slight activation of Heart Fire, and the internal breath turned into Fire Attribute True Qi upon release.

Then transformed into a raging fire snake, soaring high, winding around the volcanic crater.

Tilting his head upward with an open mouth in the magma pool, the controlled fire snake plunged straight into his mouth.

He forced this fiery blast down!

Underneath his skin seemed to have red light flowing, gradually rendering his entire skin a soft red.

Next, he rose from the pool and walked to the shore.

Magma continuously dripped off his body, corroding the rocks around the volcanic crater, making it even more uneven.

With a slight shake of his aura, the sticky molten lava on him scattered and flew away, leaving him spotless all over.

Through introspection, the blood in his body felt boiling hot.

Steam rose from the pores of his shoulder blades, rapidly dissipating, and the surface temperature of his body also rose quickly.

Meng Chuan speculated that at this moment, his skin was like a searing non-stick pan that could fry an egg...

While catching the Fire Attribute energy from the volcanic crater to continue enhancing the cultivation of Boiling Flame, he pondered:

"The perfect completion of the second layer of this method is named Blood Like Boiling Soup.

I have just broken through this layer, and the blood in my body already shows such a reaction, all thanks to the support of the magma environment."

The Xingyi Sect comprehends nature to empower themselves.

It truly embodies the sect’s utmost principles!

At this moment, with a slight maneuver of internal breath, his meridians emitted a rumbling sound like rushing magma.

Red-gold patterns appeared on his skin, unusually mystical.

Looking upward in introspection, at the spring eye of his sea of consciousness, amidst faint arcs of sparks.

At the same time, the faint mist previously emanating from the spring eye.

Had already transformed into scorching heat thanks to the advancement of this Secret Technique.

Meng Chuan used his perception to touch it, the formerly warm heat breath now became scorching hot.

If using this to maneuver the Five Elements Qi, Fire Attribute fist skills would naturally go without saying, with power greatly enhanced.

The other four attributes would also carry "high-temperature properties."

In this environment, he barely maneuvered a trace of Kidney Water Qi.

Whereupon an illusion of waves circled his palm, under perception, warm like a geothermal spring.

Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised.

Even the Water Attribute Qi could be affected by the mutated internal breath.

No wonder it was a top-level Secret Technique comprehended by Principal Sui from his signature Fire Attribute Divine Skill.

Truly formidable!

If the Secret Technique martial arts, like fist skills or hardening practices, were also categorized into levels.

He felt that the Boiling Flame was definitely top-notch, not much lesser than Dragon Sitting Meditation.

Surely better than the Golden Finger, back then he didn’t quite recognize its value when learning from Principal Sui...

Retracting all methods, he continued to perceive the changes within his body.

Allowing the internal breath to continue flowing, the temperature kept rising.

Released from the spring, it coursed through his body.

In just a few minutes, it made his body surface hot and smoky.

The internal breath seeped out, turning into True Qi that was equally scorching.

At this moment, from the outside, he truly seemed to be on "fire"...

With a thought, Meng Chuan withdrew all internal breath back to the spring.

The anomaly around him subsided.

He looked at the panel:

[Roaring Flame: Level One (86%) → Level Two (30%)]

"Originally, I just hoped for a breakthrough, but I didn’t expect to gain so much proficiency additionally. It’s a pleasant surprise."

The magma pool played a significant role in achieving such a large enhancement.

Meng Chuan once again felt it.

Gradually understanding what the realm of [Blood Like Boiling Soup], complete at the second level, really was.

As he thought before, the secret technique and trait were somewhat alike.

Apart from martial arts techniques, they further mutate certain parts of the body.

The trait changes the moment it is acquired.

The secret technique, however, like water flow, gradually alters the body with the progress of practice.

When cultivating the second level of Roaring Flame, he performed the next stage of mutative transformation on the internal breath in the spring.

Changing from mildly hot to scorching, affecting the Qi blood like boiling soup.

Thus achieving perfection in the second level cultivation.

At this moment, his understanding of the [Roaring Flame] secret technique deepened.

Simply put, it drastically enhances the power of Fire Attribute Martial Arts.

Simple, violent, quite extreme.

This kind of secret technique, Meng Chuan loved to learn...

He further gained insight:

In Daoist terms, apart from Qi blood martial arts, he was practicing dual cultivation of [Essence and Life].

Apart from horizontal training, using Roaring Flame to enhance combat was also a means for preserving one’s [Life].

Because, besides avoiding being killed by others, if he could strike first, killing the opponent with one punch.

This was also cultivating [Life]...

...

Returning to his senses, he saw the sky gradually dimming, the sun setting in the west.

He raised his head to see, the clouds tinged with red were now more splendid under the sunset glow.

Watching the beautiful scene, Meng Chuan felt something stirring inside:

"Since descending Huashan, it’s been a long time since the dawn-dusk enlightenment was triggered..."

And today, in this scene, he felt an inner stirring.

A restless desire.

The natural environment’s blessing was equally beneficial for enlightenment.

He glanced at the panel.

In terms of fist skills benefiting from the volcanic environment, he currently had only the [Molten Core Flame Burst Fist · Incomplete Chapter].

"Let’s use it. If I could trigger enlightenment, I might as well complete it..."

This true skill fist technique, obtained long ago, was almost fully developed without much practice.

Not pushing the limits to produce traits, I do feel somewhat discontented...

Thinking this, Meng Chuan’s momentum surged again.

Firelight, like fireflies, emerged from within his body.

Then, in a flash, the momentum of blazing fire spread in all directions around him.

Nearby the volcano crater, the fiery auras from both heaven and earth.

All transformed into a trickling stream, surging into Meng Chuan’s body.

Punching!

Spark spreading wildfire, Molten Rock Piercing... until the two forms he had completed earlier, to the last Heart Fire Repossession.

Move by move, he appeared as if a king within flames.

Every punch and kick was backed by the whole volcano, with terrifying and huge power.

If someone were to spar with him now, two limits wouldn’t be enough.

Must be a Martial Arts Master to have a chance!

Wherever the fist edge passed, the air twisted as if boiling.

The scenes under his eyelids were getting brighter with each punch and kick.

His mind raced, and numerous insights about this fist technique surged in his mind.

Then transformed into solid reality, imprinted in his body through every punch and step.

He repeatedly practiced, going back and forth in search of flaws in the fist techniques, examining and remedying them.

Finally, with one strike, he achieved sudden understanding.

He realized, with the aid of enlightenment, the wonder of using the [Qi Observation Skill].

"To find the concentrated spots of fiery auras in the air, and attempt to remotely detonate them."

He then practiced with the visualization method used in practicing [Five Thunderstrikes], focusing his mind.

The next moment, the volcano in his mind erupted!

With a punch, it was as if only embers remained in the world.

In an instant, the volcano in the real world...

Was caused by Meng Chuan to erupt as well...

Flames roared like a furious dragon, countless fire pillars shot into the sky.

Lava poured out like a mudslide, flowing down the mountainside, making the entire Haitang Mountain dazzling with fiery light.

The sky instantly darkened, with ash and dust fluttering in the air, making it hard to open one’s eyes.

Stepping out from it, Meng Chuan looked at what he had caused, muttering to himself:

"This strike of detonating fiery auras, in certain environments, its power is no less than the true skill ultimate move [Setting Sun Strike].

The original martial arts Professor Li had in hand definitely didn’t include this move..."
