Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 233: Raging Volcano
Fourteen days have passed. Although the spiritual connection with Kekexili was temporarily interrupted during the evolution, and I could not know its specific situation, I was able to understand some basic situations by relying on the induction of my spiritual power. I felt that the evolution should be almost completed. The evolution at the "magma cave mouth" can only make me rest poorly and work harder, and it will not cause much harm to Kekexili. Until now, it can still be said that everything is normal. Hades has not secretly used other means to interfere with and destroy the evolution of Kekexili. If it continues like this, it should not be a problem to successfully evolve into a top-level flame demon. However, I still dare not be negligent. According to the relevant information obtained from Khufu, Kekexili and Let's Ivoire, Hades will never easily let the alien volcanic undead evolve to the top form smoothly, especially those individuals who are unruly by nature and lack sufficient respect for it and the Hell Dragon clan. In their memories, almost no one can successfully complete the evolution and survive, and they all suffered a complete destruction. I have made it clear that I want to get involved in the Hell Dragon clan, which seriously threatens their ruling position. I am irreconcilable with Hades. It will not be so easy for me and let Kekexili evolve into a fire demon without any danger. I only hope that the challenge from the internal struggle for the throne can play a restraining role and prevent it from attacking Kekexili with all its strength.
It is estimated that the evolution should be completed today. During this period, Kekexili is condensing and forming, reshaping its body, and needs a more stable energy supply. It cannot withstand too much turbulence. It can be said to be the darkness before dawn. It is the most dangerous moment in the entire evolution process, and accidents are easy to happen. According to the different treatment methods encountered, the strength will be damaged at the least. Even if it successfully evolves into a flame demon, it will only be an underdeveloped defective product, and it will be difficult to evolve and grow to a higher level; or it will lead to evolution failure, and it will return to the previous flame bone demon, and may even be reduced to a lower form, and can only start again; the soul will be scattered and disappear. If Hades is unwilling to let Kekexili go and is unwilling to consume too much energy, now is the best opportunity to attack. Even though I have been exhausted, I still gritted my teeth and insisted, canceled the offline rest time, and stayed at the foot of the "Hell Volcano" to ensure a continuous supply of mental power. At the same time, I paid close attention to the development of the situation and guarded against unexpected events.
The "magma cave|mouth" should have gushed out a more violent magma flow, which greatly increased the magma energy that impacted the Kekexili, and could not help but increase its absorption. This is not the case that the more the better. Once it cannot bear it, it will explode and die. In order to maintain the balance of energy supply, the Kekexili's demand for my mental power has further increased, speeding up the absorption speed. If it were not for the "Touch of Death" to continuously replenish it, I would have been sucked dry long ago. I am afraid that it would be difficult for the Kekexili to effectively resolve the impact of the excessive magma energy in a timely manner. I feel that the "Touch of Death" seems to be a necessary key to get involved in the development of the "Hell Volcano". Without it, facing the secret suppression of the absolutely powerful Hades, I can't guarantee that the volcano's subordinates can successfully evolve. I can't accumulate these forces today, and it is absolutely impossible to gain a foothold on the "Hell Volcano". I have never experienced the evolution of the top-level alien volcanic undead, and I don't know if this is a normal phenomenon before the evolution is complete, or if Hades is secretly playing tricks. Fortunately, for me who decided not to log off to rest, this change is still manageable. "Supreme Witch Crown" and "Blood Emperor Robe" give me a high enough mental power limit, and the speed of activating "Death Touch" to absorb mental power is relatively fast, which can still ensure the supply and not be sucked dry due to insufficient income.
However, the more violent magma energy impact seemed to be just a prelude. Soon, the entire "Hell Volcano" was in turmoil. The red clouds rolled in the sky, pressing very low, and the magma on the ground flowed and sprayed out frequently. Many areas also erupted in violent "lava storms". The scene was unprecedentedly spectacular. It would be fine if it was just that. As the volcanic activity intensified, I suddenly found that the speed at which Kekexili absorbed spiritual power gradually slowed down. It was not that it no longer needed it. It felt like it was affected by the violent activities of the "Hell Volcano", which interfered with the speed at which it absorbed spiritual power from me. It wanted to absorb but could not. Without enough spiritual power to neutralize the excess magma energy in its body, its condition was not good. If it continued like this, I'm afraid there would be big problems and it might lead to the failure of evolution. There was no need to think too much. This must be Hades behind the scenes. As the ruler of the "Hell Volcano", he was able to create such a big momentum to cover up his intention to secretly kill Kekexili, so as not to be caught with direct evidence of his abuse of power for personal gain.
The transmission system failed, and the abundant spiritual power I absorbed could not be smoothly delivered to Kekexili. If it continues like this and does not improve, it will directly affect the evolution and may lead to a failed outcome. I didn't expect Hades to have this trick, which made Kekexili's absorption speed slower and slower. He had a lot of spiritual power, but he couldn't supply Kekexili with it in time. Obviously, it was useless for me to stay at the foot of the mountain. The only way to crack it was to enter the territory of the "Hell Volcano" and reach the top of the mountain where the "Lava Storm" could not affect it. In this way, the normal supply of spiritual power absorbed by Kekexili could be restored, helping it to complete its evolution smoothly. Otherwise, the longer the delay, the more dangerous its situation would be. Anyway, it is now close to the end of evolution, and it will not last too long. It is not convenient for the black bone dragon to enter the territory of the "Hell Volcano" to move around. Relying on the volcano's subordinates such as Leted Ivoire, Khufu, and Guben who are soaked in the "Hell Magma Pool", I should be able to absorb enough spiritual power to ensure the supply to Kekexili.
On the "Hell Volcano", there are violent "lava storms" raging everywhere. Entering it means danger and will pose a direct threat to my safety. Perhaps this is also a purpose of Hades. Let me either continue to stay at the foot of the mountain and leave it to fate, giving up the Hoh Xil and sacrificing a general, or choose to brave the "Hell Volcano" and reach the top of the mountain. Although it can resolve the crisis of the Hoh Xil, it gives Hades the opportunity to hurt me. I am unwilling to give up the Hoh Xil. In order to help it successfully evolve into a top- level flame demon, I have to take the risk of breaking into the "Hell Volcano" and facing the challenge of Hades.
Although I had obtained the right to freely enter and exit the "Hell Volcano" when I joined hands with Taotao to win the qualification to soak in the "Hell Magma Pool", my ability to sense the "lava storm" was not very strong due to my physical condition and attributes, as well as the fact that I had not been there for a long time and was not familiar with the changes in the environment. In addition, I was already very tired and it was difficult for me to concentrate more, so my sensing ability was even weaker. Facing the violent "lava storm" that erupted frequently and covered almost the entire "Hell Volcano", if I had to go alone, I would probably have a narrow escape from death. Fortunately, for the sake of safety and to deal with various unpredictable emergencies, I had already moved Taotao, who no longer needed to absorb fire energy, to a nearby place to absorb dark energy and be ready for action at any time. Now was the time to use it. Its sensing ability for the "lava storm" was far superior to mine. Riding it into the "Hell Volcano" was an extra layer of protection and would be more assured.
As soon as I stepped onto the "Hell Volcano", I attracted the patronage of the "Lava Storm". Wherever I rushed to, the originally sparse "Lava Storm" would immediately erupt into a violent stage, and the originally erupted would become even more violent, and there was no moment to escape from danger. Wherever I went, there were large pieces of lava flying across and hot magma gushing wildly. Even if I was equipped with a high-level holy weapon-level "Qilin Horn Soft Armor Cloak", I could not withstand such a fierce blow and could not completely resist it. Once I was hit, I would suffer certain damage and could not withstand too many attacks. Fortunately, Taotao did not let me down. He accurately sensed the landing point of the sky-falling lava and the eruption point of the ground-spraying magma, and shuttled flexibly in the gap between them, taking me to avoid most of the damage and quickly rushing to the safe mountaintop, so as not to delay too long and increase the risk of Kekexili being blown up by excessive magma energy.
All the way through were violent "lava storm" areas. Relying on Taotao's outstanding performance, I, equipped with the "Supreme Witch Crown" and "Blood Emperor Robe", also had more mental power to withstand the damage caused by lava and magma flow. I also summoned Xiaobai to possess me. When necessary, I could use "instant movement" to dodge and resolve. Finally, I defeated Hades's plot again and successfully reached the top of the "Hell Volcano". No longer affected by the harsh environment, Kekexili resumed its normal mental power absorption speed. Fortunately, I didn't hesitate much and made a decision in time. With Taotao's help, the action was relatively fast. It didn't have much negative impact on Kekexili's evolution, but the situation was not optimistic. I struggled to resist the violent magma energy raging in my body, and it seemed that I couldn't hold on for long. Khufu, Let'diva and other subordinates have received my orders and are waiting for me on the top of the mountain. I immediately activated the "Touch of Death" to entangle Let'diva in order to replenish my own mental strength that had been depleted a lot, in order to ensure the loan to Hoh Xil.
The extremely harsh environment did not stop me from moving forward, nor did it endanger my life. I successfully reached the top of the mountain. The "Hell Volcano" soon seemed to have calmed down a bit, and the "lava storm" that was raging everywhere began to become sparse. It seemed that Hades was unwilling to spend more energy to launch it. It could not act directly on me. I felt that the magma flow that hit the Kekexili was even more violent, reaching an astonishing degree, and it had almost surpassed the "magma cave" occupied by Let's Ivory Coast. More mental power was needed to neutralize it. I guess this should be another means of Hades. Whether it was that the Kekexili could not withstand such a violent energy impact, or that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were only a dozen volcanic undead around him who could provide me with mental power, and he was determined to use them up, and indirectly hit the Kekexili, which would affect the result of evolution. Unfortunately, the "lava storm" erupted too suddenly. The volcanic spirits who were not qualified for immersion did not have time to rush to the top of the mountain to hide. They could only choose a place nearby to hide. Now the "lava storm" has not stopped. The "no-travel order" issued by Hades to reduce the damage to the volcanic spirits is still valid. They cannot rush over, and a large number of supply sources are missing. In addition, Hades has further made a move, causing the "hell magma pool" to be abnormally turbulent, secretly interfering with the speed at which the volcanic spirits absorb magma energy, which has become very slow and cannot be converted into more mental power to quickly replenish their own consumption. This two-pronged approach has made my situation even worse. I only hope that Kekexili can complete the evolution before the mental power that can be absorbed by me is exhausted, otherwise I really have no way out.
Fortunately, I have two generals, Letediwa and Khufu, one is a tenth-level lower-order Hell Dragon, and the other is a special type of Great Pharaoh. Their mental power far exceeds that of the Black Bone Dragon, so they can still hold on for a while. Especially Khufu, who released the "Pyramid". Even with Hades secretly blocking him, he can still forcibly absorb a lot of magma energy and convert it into his own mental power to meet my needs. And Kekexili is an old predecessor among the alien volcanic undead. After several twists and turns, he has accumulated relatively rich experience, which is not comparable to those fast-growing "greenhorns". He knows how to better regulate himself according to the changes in the external environment. He is further strengthened by the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal", laying a good foundation. He is not easily defeated by the surging magma energy flow. He instinctively uses all the factors that can be used, stubbornly fights, and has never been willing to give up. Finally, he survived this last difficult time, completely shattered Hades's secret obstruction and destruction, and successfully completed the evolution.
After the spiritual connection between me and Kokoxili was restored, he rushed out of the "Hell Lava Pool" and no longer looked like the familiar flame bone demon. Instead, he turned into a ball of fire, which looked like a three or four meter tall, pale fire giant. He had no entity, like a compressed burning flame, with fire snakes of varying lengths and thicknesses constantly gushing out from his body. His form was somewhat like the fire elemental spirit summoned by the ninth level fire magic "Fire Element Summoning", but one was pale and the other was fiery red, and the colors were completely different. He still didn't seem to have the ability to fly and could only walk on the ground, but his movements were much faster than the previous flame bone demon form. He seemed to have no weight and moved effortlessly. While the flames were spewing, he lightly rushed to another place. He could also transform from a fire man into other shapes, square or round, flat or long, amorphous, and ever-changing, and very agile.
After checking the specific attributes of Kekexili, it turned out that it had successfully evolved into a top-level Flame Demon in good condition, without any defects caused by Hades' conspiracy. The level is lower level 10, because Kekexili is a native volcanic undead, and it evolved on the volcano by itself. Unlike Khufu, it was promoted to the "Hell Volcano" beyond the ninth level in a foreign land and then returned. Therefore, it did not need to go through the challenge with the lower level 10 Hell Dragon. When it completed the evolution, it automatically got rid of its humble status and joined the ranks of the ruling class, and obtained the qualification to enter the deep space of the "Hell Magma Pool" for immersion and cultivation. Kekexili belongs to the alien volcanic undead. It is different from the challenge promotion method of the Hell Dragon, and unlike Khufu, it is not restricted by the special equipment "pyramid" given by the system. It can continuously accumulate energy and evolve to a higher level after growing into a fully mature body, becoming a mid-level 10 or even a high-level 10 Flame Demon, which has a relatively freer growth. This is the peculiarity of the volcanic undead, and it is also an important reason why Hades tried his best to restrict the evolution and development of the alien volcanic undead. He was worried that they would develop too rapidly in the absence of effective means of control and threaten the rule of the Hell Dragon clan.
The evolved Kokoxili can't fly in the air, but can jump and run on the ground. It is quite flexible and has the ability to attack at close and medium distances. The fire man is its main form, and it also has the ability to "transform" freely. It can transform into various shapes without exceeding its own ability, or dodge attacks, or cover movement, or attack, which has a good practical effect. The whole body of Kokoxili is burning with blazing flames, with high temperature. Except for me, the master, who is not affected, anyone who comes into contact with it will suffer fire damage. The attack is also biased towards fire damage effects, and the physical attack power is not strong. The special skill it has is "sparks all over the sky". The main body of the fire man suddenly bursts into a hundred sparks and shoots out. It has different powers according to the amount . It can be evenly distributed or focused on a few. It can be used to attack one or more enemies, or it can be dispersed to dodge the enemy's powerful attacks and reduce possible damage. It can attack or defend. After exhausting its strength, the sparks that have not dissipated will gather together to transform into the main body of the fire man. The physical defense ability is relatively strong. Direct contact will have a "flame explosion" effect, which weakens the attack while causing damage to the opponent. Except for fire and dark magic, the resistance to other attribute magic is relatively weak. It is suitable for fighting against melee opponents.
