Chapter 141: Seeking Subscriptions in the Nine-Fire Dragon's Lair

  Lei Hao immediately knew it was bad, and the Dragon Slayer in his hand suddenly transformed into a shield-shaped door panel dozens of meters in size. Lei Hao grasped the Dragon Slayer tightly with both hands, and his body violently retreated. All the sword energy that hit the blade of the Dragon Slayer turned into a force that helped Lei Hao retreat backwards.

  Lei Hao's movements were fast, but Taiyi Zhenren's movements weren't slow either. With a wave of his hand, he threw the Nine Fire Divine Cage at Lei Hao.

  The nine fire dragon halos flashed in the sky for a moment, instantly enlarged hundreds of times, and rushed towards Lei Hao with a loud crash.

  Lei Hao wanted to retreat, but suddenly felt a huge suction force coming from behind him, causing his retreating figure to stumble violently, and then he was caught off guard by the Nine Fire Dragon's canopy.

  The Nine Fire Dragon Shield quickly shrank and returned to Taiyi Zhenren's hand.

  Taiyi True Person looked at the Nine Fire Dragon Shield in his hand with a sneer, and said to himself: "Ignorant demon, can you dodge the Nine Fire Dragon Shield?" The next moment, Taiyi True Person's figure disappeared in the sky above Kanyuan Mountain.

  Lei Hao's vision went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a world filled with endless flames. There was no sky or earth, only the infinite fire. Lei Hao looked around, and his heart slowly sank. He knew that he had been trapped by Taiyi Old Thief inside the Nine Fire Dragon Formation. Unlike Sun Wukong, who could survive being cooked in Taishang Laojun's Eight Trigrams Furnace, Lei Hao was the one who killed Taiyi Old Thief's beloved disciple! It would be strange if Taiyi Old Thief didn't want him dead!

  "Haha, after thousands of years of idleness, another unlucky soul has finally come in? Big brother, how long do you think this guy can withstand the nine of us brothers' teasing?" Before Lei Hao could even react, he heard a very arrogant voice.

  Lei Hao raised his head and saw nine scarlet dragon heads hovering above him, their mouths watering as they stared at him. Lei Hao circulated the power of the Lei Ben Yuan method within his body into his eyes, and immediately saw through the true nature of these nine dragons. It turned out that they were actually three essences of true fire that had become spirits.

  "You nine, are you the vessel spirits of the Nine Fire Dragon Shield?" Lei Hao asked with an expressionless face.

  "What a nerve, we are Huo Tong, Huo Chu, Huo Yu, Huo Qi, Huo Shu, Huo Zhuo, Huo Shuo, Huo Tou, and Huo Lu, the nine great dragon gods!" The nine fire dragons were enraged when Lei Hao called them "tool spirits" and roared in unison.

  Lei Hao was speechless, these nine Three Flavors True Fire instruments were indeed the inferior products of Tai Yi's cultivation, and they had developed abnormally! They even had similar names! And they called themselves Shen Long! But at this time, Lei Hao still didn't understand what kind of situation he was in. For now, he also didn't want to provoke these nine mentally ill people.

  "Tuerlong." Lei Hao's divine consciousness stirred, and the Tuerlong that had fallen somewhere in this world flew to his side with a mournful cry. Lei Hao picked it up and took a look, only to see that in just a few short breaths, the blade of Tuerlong already had signs of melting. His heart ached unbearably, and he hastily stored Tuerlong inside his body.

  After retrieving the Dragon Slayer, Lei Hao suddenly realized something that was a bit inconceivable - the Dragon Slayer, which was even harder than his physical body, had almost melted from being refined by this flame world. His physical body didn't have any issues at all.

  "Could it be that because I am the Golden Immortal of the Original Fire, the Three Flavors True Fire can't harm me? That doesn't make sense. If Taizhen True Person could find his way to Kanyuanshan, he should know that I am the Golden Immortal of the Original Fire. If he knew that this Three Flavors True Fire couldn't harm me, why would he still want to trap me in the Nine Fire Dragon Lock?" Lei Hao thought to himself.

  "Right... Could it be..." Lei Hao suddenly remembered a certain divine object within his body.

  The next moment, Lei Hao raised his head and shouted excitedly in a loud voice: "Nine big fools. This king is here to play with you!"

  Jiutiao Sanwei Zhenhuo Qi Ling suddenly heard Lei Hao call them idiots, and immediately became furious again, simultaneously spitting out nine fire pillars to burn towards Lei Hao.

  Lei Hao's fists were clenched tightly, but he didn't dodge. With his magical powers, as soon as he found something was off, he would immediately activate his magic to resist, and could even withstand it for a year or two.

  But after a breath, Lei Hao relaxed his clenched fists and muttered to himself: "As expected."

  The flames spewed out by the Nine-Headed Serpent's True Fire Instrument, although they incinerated all of Lei Hao's clothes, couldn't harm his physical body in the slightest. Not even a single strand of Lei Hao's hair was burned. All of the True Fires that came into contact with Lei Hao's physical body were like encountering their own kind, passing through his body as if nothing had happened. It was just like using True Fire to burn True Fire - no matter how fierce the flames were, they couldn't produce any effect.

  What did Lei Hao just think of?

  He thought of that drop of Zhu Rong's essence blood he had absorbed in the Fire Temple back then!

  Who is Zhu Rong? That was one of the twelve demon gods transformed from the majority of Pangu's essence and blood after his fall, the fire ancestor Wu, who was the old ancestor of playing with fire in the vast wilderness. The fire he played with was unknown how many levels higher than the three flavors of true fire. To say that his physical body did not have immunity to all flames in the world would be unbelievable to anyone.

  Lei Hao's physical body had only absorbed a single drop of Zhu Rong's ancestral witch's essence blood, but this one drop of essence blood was enough to elevate Lei Hao to the late stage of the Golden Immortal of the Fire Origin. This shows just how powerful this one drop of essence blood is. Naturally, his physical body, which had been strengthened by Zhu Rong's essence blood, was no longer something that could be refined by the Three Flavours True Fire, which was still not considered a top-tier flame in the three realms.

  "Big brother, did you see that? Our Three Flavors True Fire seems to be useless against this guy!" Meanwhile, the nine Three Flavors True Fire spirits on Lei Hao's head, who had been spitting out mouthfuls of water for half a day, also discovered that their Three Flavors True Fire couldn't harm Lei Hao. They hadn't seen anyone who could withstand their power with brute force before, but even if one's body was protected by magic, it couldn't protect the hair on their head. During the Great War of Sealing Gods, even Taiyi True Immortal had been refined by them!

  "I'm not blind, can't I see? The burning time was definitely too short. Let's add more strength and refine this monster that dares to call us idiots into ashes." One of the three-flavor true fire instrument spirits said with certainty.

  The words had just fallen when the nine three-bit true fire instrument spirits began to frantically spew flames at Lei Hao.

  Lei Hao, having learned that the Three Flavors True Fire was useless against him, put his hanging heart back in his stomach and sat cross-legged in mid-air to cultivate his fire origin. The Nine Fire God Dragon Shield contained 99% of the Three Flavors True Fire in the three realms, so he couldn't find such a large amount of Three Flavors True Fire outside. If he didn't take this opportunity to cultivate for a period of time, it would be a waste of this great chance!

  Lei Hao's fire source had been perfectly rounded two hundred years ago with the help of Jindan's power, and by rights, he should have seen the door to Taiyi True Immortal even if he hadn't crossed the Tribulation to break through. But after two hundred years, his cultivation was still stagnant, without any signs of breakthrough.

  Lei Hao had previously killed two old-timers, Wenshu and Puxian, both of whom were top-notch Taiyi True Immortals. With this achievement under his belt, he felt more confident and wasn't in a rush to break through. He believed that with his Violent Thunder Source and Silent Extinction techniques, even if he encountered a Taiyi Heavenly Immortal, he could still escape if he couldn't win.

  But now after a battle with Taiyi True Immortal, Lei Hao finally realized that he was indeed too naive before!

  He was completely powerless in front of Taiyi True Man, and after just a few rounds, he was forced to use all his ultimate moves, not to mention falling into an absolute desperate situation. In the end, he couldn't even escape, and without any ability to resist, he was taken in by Taiyi True Man into the Nine Fire Dragon Lock.

  Lei Hao's pain was set, and he concluded that his battle with Taiyi Zhenren was not because his ultimate move was not powerful enough, nor was it because the Dragon Slayer was not sharp enough. It was simply because his cultivation was far inferior to Taiyi Zhenren's. Once again, he felt extremely clearly that in the face of absolute strength, all techniques were just floating clouds.

  Lei Hao's entire spirit was focused on absorbing the external Three Flavors True Fire, carefully using the Three Flavors True Fire to nourish the red flower tree in his dantian, which was the condensed Dao fruit of his Tenfold Flame's origin!

  The red flower tree was nourished by the three flavors of true fire, and slowly emitted a red glow, enveloping the pages of those three flower bone fragments, which seemed to have opened up.

  Lei Hao's heart suddenly filled with great joy, as long as these three flower bones opened, he would reach the realm of San Hua Ju Ding and Wu Qi Chao Yuan. In Sun Wukong's words, that would be the realm of Tai Yi True Immortal.

  Now Leihao's absorption is even more powerful!

  After Taibai Zhenren returned to Qianyuan Mountain's Golden Light Cave, he abandoned all distracting thoughts and sat in meditation to comprehend his Supreme Taiyi Golden Immortal Way. In his heart, once the Ten Thousand Ton Demon King entered the Nine Fire Dragon Lock, he would certainly die; it was only a matter of time! During the Investiture of the Gods War, even several Taibai True Immortals who were taken in by the Nine Fire Dragon Lock's Jie Teaching outer sect disciples could only hold on for a few hundred years before turning to dust. The Ten Thousand Ton Demon King was merely a Golden Immortal; no matter how strong his abilities, once he entered the Nine Fire Dragon Lock, it would be certain death.
