Chapter 153: The Final Trial

"I don't want it."

Lan Yan was shocked and immediately rejected Zhang Liang's proposal.

Just listen to her: "I think we can be friends." But to become a master and servant, it is not interesting, a servant who will only go against the grain, how can he seek the path of immortality? ”

Pei Xuanling's face turned red at Lan Yan's words, but he didn't know how to respond, so he just wanted to dig a hole in the ground with his toenail to get in.

Zhang Liang said: "Are you serious? Aren't you afraid that I'll turn my face? Even if you know where I'm from, I don't need to be kind to you. ”

Blue Smoke: "I'm naturally serious. I know that most people believe in the saying that the immortal sea is the enemy, but if it is really the enemy of the immortal sea, and our demon beings are all spent in the fight, wouldn't it be boring? Therefore, I want to be a different kraken, a big demon with pursuit, ambition, and maverick. It is said that only the little demon will kill and kill without knowing whether he is alive or dead, and the big demon usually does not do this. ”

Zhang Liangxin said that this blue smoke idea was quite advanced, but no one knew whether what she said was true or false. In short, it's good to listen to it yourself, there's no need to take it seriously.

Besides, there is no substantive interest relationship between himself and Lan Yan at present, and it doesn't matter if she kills her or not, anyway, there are not a few more resources. And his current strength and family background are really not afraid of her, so if Lan Yan has to say that he wants to make friends, it is not impossible.

I only listened to Zhang Liangdao: "I hope that after many years, you will still insist on being a different kraken." Okay, wait for a day, refine the fire talisman, and then enter the third trial. ”

Lan Yan smiled when she saw this, but unfortunately because she was not as beautiful as Pei Xuanling, Zhang Liangzi would not be attracted.

A day later.

Pei Xuanling set her legs and torso on fire, but unfortunately the number of fire charms was limited, and when her head was more than half lit, she had no fire charms.

Compared to Pei Xuanling, the blue smoke could only ignite his legs.

The reason why they all chose to set their legs on fire was because the third trial made it clear that they wanted to climb the mountain, and there was no water here, so they could only rely on their legs to climb the mountain.

Everyone is a kraken, originally the legs are evolved, and they are born underutilized, so igniting the legs, this is their first idea, they want to improve the effectiveness of the legs in this way.

However, for Zhang Liang, he doesn't have to worry about these at all, not to mention that he has completely ignited his whole body, even if he doesn't, his other identity is a serious human race immortal cultivator, and he has mastered several leg secret techniques alone.

Now.

The three of them crossed the Flaming Mountain and officially embarked on this rugged mountain road full of rocks.

The Flame Mountain is rugged and steep, the rocks are cracked, the white mist rises, and between the cracks in the rocks, there are occasional fires jumping, and the whole mountain is full of vegetation. As the people got closer and closer to the mountain, the temperature around them also rose rapidly, and after only a kilometer, the temperature soared by ten degrees.

This is basically no different for Zhang Liang and them, even if the temperature rises again, it is completely within the range of tolerance for them.

No, Zhang Liang followed the mountain road all the way to the mountain.

In the beginning, there was still a road, and when we reached the real foot of the Flaming Mountain, the road was gone. The slope of the mountain is also suddenly much steeper, and even in many places it is almost indistinguishable from the vertical ones. The wind blows through the crevices of the rocks, whining and whining, like the soundtrack of a horror movie.

"Whew~"

From time to time, on the ground, between the mountains and rocks, waves of fire erupted, but fortunately, the three of them were all great demons who built the foundation, so the reaction was faster than the natural burst of flames.

However, Zhang Liang still tried it, ignited his whole body with blood and fire, and reached out to touch the flames that burst out. He only felt that his palms were burned a little hot, the temperature of this fire wave was about 300 degrees higher than the outside world, although they could not be burned, but this was just the beginning of the mountain, and he didn't know where the top of the mountain was.

As Zhang Liang and the three climbed, the temperature they felt was getting higher and higher, and when they reached an almost vertical cliff after a while, the temperature had risen to 500 degrees.

Here, they saw a sign.

An arrow sign pointing to the cliff clearly told them that the cliff was their way.

In front of Zhang Liang and them was a vertical cliff, and there were countless protruding rock masses on this cliff, which seemed to be used by people to climb.

"Rock climbing?"

Zhang Liangxin said, can't you fly directly with the sword? Maybe the trial of the Kraken didn't consider that there was a Kraken to fly with a sword, right?

It's a pity that Zhang Liang just took off a few meters in the air, and he was directly pressed down by a terrible gravity, and even pressed him to sit on the ground for dozens of breaths before it was extremely difficult to get up.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

Zhang Liang thought for a moment, this third trial was not allowed to fight, obviously thinking that the trialists who could come here were actually good. Therefore, the restriction on the prohibition of fighting is the protection of the trialists.

There is a protective heart, which means that the person who sets up the trial will not rashly kill any trialist.

Thinking like this, Zhang Liang immediately stepped on a rock bulge and began to climb up.

It's just that when Zhang Liang's five fingers grasped the raised stone, the raised rock quickly turned from black to red, and was dyed red by Zhang Liang's blood.

"Hiss~"

Zhang Liang immediately let go of his hand and came down from the cliff. Immediately, when he looked down, he saw that his dignified body refining fivefold physique, the moment he touched the raised rock, his hands were blurred by hot flesh and blood, as long as he touched his palm slightly, it was extremely painful.

"It's more than a thousand degrees."

The body refiner is not a god, he is not afraid of ordinary high temperatures, even if it is a thousand degrees, it is not unbearable, but Zhang Liang just grabbed it, and he could clearly feel that the temperature bursting out on this rock bulge completely exceeded a thousand degrees, and may even reach a terrifying two thousand degrees.

"Isn't this a human being?"

Zhang Liang complained in his heart, if this thing is as high as 2,000 degrees, wouldn't it be hotter than magma?

The key is that if it was just a high temperature, Zhang Liang could still feel that on the raised rock, there were tens of millions of dense needles, extremely slender, and when he grabbed it with his hand, his palm was directly punctured. Rao is his five-fold body refinement, and he didn't even block it.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but look up at this cliff, it was not high, if he climbed it hard, he was afraid that these two hands would be useless.

Seeing that blood was constantly oozing from Zhang Liang's palm, Lan Yan said: "It seems that this is the beginning of the third trial, testing the perseverance of the trialist." ”

Zhang Liang didn't make a sound, he thought the same way, but he felt very pitted.

This reminded him of the Longmen Waterfall for a while, and it seems that in the ancient trials, this kind of perseverance test is almost indispensable.

On this rock wall, there are probably thousands of raised rocks, which means that every time you climb, your palms need to endure the terrible heat and the pain of knife cuts. Moreover, the trial does not give people a chance to rest, if someone rests halfway, then the terrifying heat may even burn their palms, and their hands are burned, how can they climb up?

Therefore, this trial requires the trialist not only to endure inhuman suffering, but also to have enough speed not to stop, all the way up, until he reaches the top.

That's what the trial is about, and it's almost clear what the difficulty is.

Zhang Liang could even think that if the trialist failed to reach the top once, he might have to recuperate for a period of time, and the entire trial time was only ten days, which was not enough to recuperate several times.

Lan Yan chuckled: "This trial seems to be more friendly to me. ”

The next moment, I saw the blue smoke leap up, stepping on a raised rock, and his hands turned into hundreds of tentacles, quickly winding around the raised rock, and quickly rushing upward. From time to time, blood will drip from mid-air.

It can be seen that the blue smoke during the climbing, her face is a little painful, but this does not affect her climbing speed.

Zhang Liang looked at Pei Xuanling: "The difficulty is not too high, but it requires perseverance and the ability to tolerate pain." Even so, not everyone can climb it, and I can't help you with this. ”

Pei Xuanling took a deep breath: "I want to return to the Beibei Sea alive." ”

She wasn't saying it to Zhang Liang, it was more like saying something to herself. Once a person has a goal, he will have enough motivation.

After speaking, Pei Xuanling also quickly climbed up.

Zhang Liang looked at his hands, and then looked up at the two women who were climbing quickly on the cliff, and he thought to himself, Isn't he as good as two women?

After thinking about it, Zhang Liang grabbed the raised rock again, and the whole person was like a nimble ape, jumping into the air on this almost vertical cliff.

100 meters, 500 meters, 800 meters, kilometers......

When Zhang Liang climbed a thousand meters, he felt that his palms were rotten and completely covered with blood, and the burning and painful sensation made Zhang Liang grin under the mask.

At this time, he had not been able to surpass Lan Yan and Pei Xuanling.

1,500 meters, 2,000 meters.

Zhang Liang felt that the flesh and blood on his hands had almost been worn out, and it was faintly visible that blood was wrapped in his finger bones.

At this time, Zhang Liang had already surpassed Pei Xuanling by 100 meters.

In terms of perseverance and pain, Zhang Liang has his own definition. He wants to transform into a fire demon spirit body, and he wants to obtain a fire god body, which is a great opportunity for him to settle down in the immortal sea.

Since he came into this world, he has known how difficult it is to survive. If he wants to live, if he wants to live well, he has to keep getting stronger. What is the pain of the moment compared to the road to heaven in the future?

Three thousand meters, four thousand kilometers.

The speed of Zhang Liang and Lan Yan is roughly the same, it can be seen that Lan Yan is indeed a woman with great ambitions, and she is ruthless and can bear the hardships.

After Zhang Liang climbed five thousand meters, his palm was completely devoid of flesh and blood, but fortunately, the cultivator's muscles and bones were restrained, so he would not even be unable to move his bones. But the flesh and blood were worn out, and it did greatly affect the speed. On the contrary, it is blue smoke, and the speed is still very fast, maybe it is really because she shoots more.

"Berserk Secret Arts."

For the sake of the Fire God Body, Zhang Liang no longer had any spare strength, and immediately launched the Berserk Secret Technique, and on this cliff, the speed doubled.

Not long after, he and Lan Yan climbed to a height of six thousand meters, and Pei Xuanling had long since disappeared.

Lan Yan saw Zhang Liang suddenly accelerate, and couldn't help but say, "Is it necessary for us to compete?" ”

Zhang Liang: "Then you let me go up first." ”

"Nature...... No way. ”

Lan Yan immediately seemed to have used some kind of secret method, surrounded by qi and blood, and his speed also skyrocketed.

But after sprinting up for less than a kilometer, both of them fell back in speed.

The difference is that Zhang Liang's berserk secret technique is exhausted, but he still has the power of the overlord, which barely allows him to surpass the blue smoke.

A moment later, both of them saw the peak, and hope suddenly lit up in their eyes.

"Brush Brush~"

A moment later, the two of them reached the peak of 8,000 meters one after another, but Zhang Liang was only about two seconds faster than Lan Yan, and the distance was no more than twenty meters. You must know that he can refine his body five times, but he almost lost to a foundation building stage, which made Zhang Liang realize that Lan Yan, this woman, may be more powerful than he imagined.

It's just that when the two of them reached the top, they were all stunned, because in front of them was a cave with flames.

Zhang Liang snorted lightly, knowing that he was thinking too much, how could the third trial be as simple as rock climbing? Sure enough, the trial of perseverance in rock climbing is only the first step.

Blue Smoke: "Why don't you take a break and recover?" I think you're hurt quite badly. ”

"Yes!"

Flesh and blood are regenerated, not severed limbs, so recovery is not as difficult as imagined.

Half a day later.

After Zhang Liang secretly took a few pills of Qi Replenishing Blood Pills and Blood Strengthening Pills, the flesh and blood reappeared. However, it may take some time to recover to the peak.

And Lan Yan directly took out a spirit fruit and took it, and recovered much faster than Zhang Liang.

Just when Zhang Liang was thinking about whether to try the flame cave, there was movement behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that Pei Xuanling was covered in blood and climbed to the top of the cliff in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but say: "Fell?" ”

Seeing Zhang Liang and Lan Yan, who had fully recovered, Pei Xuanling couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, these two people are so powerful.

Zhang Liang is just that, Zhang Liang is a perfect transformation, but this blue smoke is obviously not a perfect transformation, but it is also so powerful, she really didn't expect it.

Just imagine, after rushing up 3,000 meters by himself, he was finally unable to sustain himself and fell once. Therefore, compared with Zhang Liang and the others, he seems to be far behind.

I only heard Zhang Liang say: "Come up and rest slowly, I'll go in and have a look." ”

Zhang Liang was quite confident, compared to Lan Yan and Pei Xuanling, he had already ignited the blood fire in his body, and he should be more resistant to this flame cave. Anyway, this third trial is not for the purpose of killing.

Lan Yan hesitated, this time she didn't fight with Zhang Liang, because when Zhang Liang got up, her whole body burned with blood-colored flames, which reminded her of the Spirit of Flame. And himself, the body is a sea anemone, and instinctively does not want to go in.

Although she knew that she had to go in later, at least let Zhang Liang go in to take a look.

Anyway, with the trial of rock climbing, she estimated that this fire hole should not be the end of the third trial.

Inside the Flame Cave.

As soon as Zhang Liang came in, he felt that the temperature around him had skyrocketed, and to put it mildly, the temperature here was comparable to magma.

A kraken with a normal non-refining route, in such an environment, can guarantee that he will not be burned to death, which is very rare. And for Zhang Liang, a five-fold kraken, everything was fine, he knew that the flames here couldn't burn him.

However, he looked around, the cave was a hundred meters long, the entrance had disappeared, and there was no exit in sight?

Until he saw an ancient text on the rock wall: "The Dan furnace is nine refining, and the demon body is half completed." ”

"Dan Furnace?"

Zhang Liang was dumbfounded, and ran into a Dan furnace by himself? Why do you want nine refinements? Who to refine, to refine yourself?

"Is this treating me like a monkey?"

"Hum~"

At this moment, the flames in the entire space frantically converged towards Zhang Liang, directly wrapping him into a fire cocoon.

In the fire cocoon, Zhang Liang was shocked, only to feel that these spiritual fires were constantly forcibly stuffed into his body. Almost instantly, the blood in his body boiled, and the spiritual fire converged in the dantian, constantly condensing, forming a highly condensed air mass.

However, it is true that thanks to Zhang Liang's Fish Fire Alchemy Technique, although the posture wrapped in this flame looks very terrifying, it is not fatal at all, and even Zhang Liang feels that he is in a better state.

"This is the first refining, I don't know how the second refining?"

About half an hour, the flames rioted for the second time, enveloping Zhang Liang again. This time, the qi and blood in his body swelled greatly, but the temperature didn't seem to have changed, as if, this Dan furnace was refining his own essence and blood, and it had nothing to do with the temperature or anything.

The third time.

Fourth.

Fifth.

The flame qi mass in Zhang Liang's dantian became more and more condensed, and it actually began to condense into a pill. And in addition to this fire pill, Zhang Liang also felt that his essence blood seemed to be strengthened by the power of this flame, containing powerful power.

Until the end of the sixth refinement, Zhang Liang's dantian had one more fire pill.

And at this moment, Lan Yan and Pei Xuanling came in together.

The difference was that as soon as the two of them entered, their faces immediately became painful, as if they were enduring some kind of inhuman torture.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Zhang Liang couldn't help but have some self-doubts, could it be because of his fifth layer of body refining? Or maybe it's because you've already lit up a divine fire all over your body?

Whatever the reason, Zhang Liang knew at this moment that this flame cave was not as easy as he felt. Relaxed, just yourself.

No, Lan Yan couldn't help but say when she saw Zhang Liang looking at them with puzzled eyes; "Flesh and blood are burned, don't you feel pain?"

Zhang Liang just glanced at Lan Yan quietly, it turned out that it was still a pain in flesh and blood!

Now he was more and more sure that it was the benefits brought by the Fish Fire Alchemy Technique that made him adapt well to the trials here.

"Patience."

After Zhang Liang finished saying this word, he continued to practice.

After three refinements, the fire pill in Zhang Liang's body continued to get smaller, and it turned into a fire bead, and he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, isn't this a fire spirit bead?

Gave birth to a fire spirit bead yourself?

It turns out that the condition for achieving half of the fire demon spirit body is to give birth to the fire spirit bead?

At the moment when the Fire Spirit Bead was born, before he could study it properly, Zhang Liang disappeared from the cave with a "brush".

When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the cave, and he was shocked by the strange scene in front of him.

Opposite itself, is a lava waterfall. Dozens of meters ahead, there is a cliff, and thousands of feet below the cliff is a magma river.

On the edge of the cliff, there are layers of long black stairs suspended in layers, and there are thousands of steps, which seem to allow people to walk from the steps to the place where the magma waterfall flows.

Zhang Liang took a slight breath and walked up the stairs.

However, as soon as he stepped on the steps, he felt an inexplicable gravity pressing on him.

In other words, it is not pressing, but squeezing one's body from up and down, left and right, in all directions, and from all angles. And the blood fire in Zhang Liang's body inexplicably began to ignite, as if he was resisting this pressure.

10 floors, 100 floors......

As Zhang Liang walked along the suspended steps to a high place step by step, the pressure on his body became more and more intense, and the blood and fire resistance in his body became stronger and stronger.

However, in the process of blood and fire, it was also gradually dissolving into the qi and blood around Zhang Liang's body.

He seemed to understand that the purpose of this small pass seemed to be to forcibly fuse the blood and fire with himself through external pressure.

At present, it seems that this third trial does not look like a trial at all, but rather like a step to achieve the fire demon spirit body.

With this set of processes, even if the fire demon spirit body is not achieved, then at least the fish fire alchemy technique will definitely be achieved.

Zhang Liang climbed the 800th floor in a row, and his body was squeezed by invisible pressure, and his whole body was a little numb and stiff.

Seeing that there were only two hundred floors left on the upper steps, Zhang Liang knew that if he was left under normal circumstances, he could only slow down, adapt layer by layer, cultivate, and strive to complete the journey.

Otherwise, if you force yourself up, you may be crowded and fall on the spot.

However, for Zhang Liang, he still has a choice.

I saw that he immediately launched the sea swallowing secret technique, and at that moment, Zhang Liang only felt that his body suddenly lightened, and that kind of magical power was swallowed by Zhang Liang into his body, intertwined with qi, blood and fire demons.

Zhang Liang was overjoyed, but he didn't immediately reach the top, because he felt that his qi and blood and blood and fire were merging with each other like water and milk.

Sure enough, only three hours later, Zhang Liang seemed to suddenly understand something, only to see him stretch out his hand, and a raging flame burned.

And this flame is completely different from the blood fire ignited on the body before, this blood fire has the inextinguishable property of the breath of fire.

Previously, although Zhang Liang ignited his whole body with blood and fire, the blood fire at that time was not complete, and it could only be said to be comparable to the flame of the flame spirit. And this time, the flame mutated and completely turned into a real blood fire, with indestructible properties.

At this moment, Zhang Liang realized that he seemed to have achieved the fire demon spirit body.

Yes, you don't even need to reach the top, you have already completed the transformation of the fire demon spirit body.

At this moment, Zhang Liang looked back, but he hadn't seen the blue smoke and Bei Xuanling's body, so he continued to go up.

As soon as the fire demon spirit body was formed, there was no pressure around, so Zhang Liang easily succeeded in reaching the top.

When Zhang Liang reached the top, he saw the most shocking scene in his life.

However, on the top of the mountain, there is a huge circular magma river, and this magma river is still burning with raging flames, judging from the color and intensity, it is actually a blood fire with indestructible characteristics.

And in the middle of the magma river, there is an altar made of nearly 100 huge fish bones, and a dragon corpse lies on the altar.

After seeing the dragon corpse, Zhang Liang instinctively shuddered. Is this a joke on yourself?

"Dragons?"

Fortunately, after Zhang Liang carefully screened it, he breathed a long sigh of relief, like a big snake or a moray eel. However, this size is also too big, and it occupies so much land, so if it is not coiled, it must not be seven or eight hundred meters?

In front of the serpent, there was a desk with something on it.

Zhang Liang wanted to go over and have a look, but there was a magma river in the middle. Moreover, he didn't know if he had already completed the third trial, because there were no new stone tablets here.

If the third trial has been completed, what about the Vulcan Body, where is the Vulcan Body?
