C126 Volcanic Escape

Although Yih Xuan had been cultivating all this time, his soul perception had been constantly released, in case something unusual happened.

Naturally, everything that happened in the surroundings couldn't escape Yih Xuan's senses.

Yih Xuan knew that after losing so many Fire Crystals, many places in the Fire Crystal Ore could no longer hold on and were about to collapse. As long as the Fire Crystal Ore collapsed, it would definitely cause a volcanic eruption.

There was not much time left for Yih Xuan.

"I have to hold on for a while longer. It will be enough soon!"

Yih Xuan had no other choice now. Everything had reached the final moment. It was impossible for all his previous efforts to be in vain. He could only hope that this Fire Crystal Ore could hold on for a little longer.

Time passed bit by bit, and the trembling became more and more intense. Moreover, it began to spread throughout the entire Fire Crystal Ore.

"Hold on! Hold on for a bit more!"

Yih Xuan shouted in his heart. The purple light on the Zixiao Sword had already reached five feet and eight inches, and he could also feel the bottleneck. If he was given a bit more time, the Zixiao Sword would smoothly advance, and his fleshly body could also be improved at the same time.

Boom!

A human-head-sized rock fell, and it was less than a meter away from Yih Xuan. Yih Xuan didn't care about it. He didn't even feel a tremble in his heart.

Rumble!

This stone was like a stone. In an instant, pieces of rock fell down. These stones were small. When it came down, it was no less than a giant hammer weighing hundreds of kilograms. If it was hit, even an elephant would die instantly.

Yih Xuan was in the middle of the cave. At first, dozens of rocks fell, but they didn't hit him. But as more and more rocks fell, Yih Xuan couldn't help but be hit by the rocks a few times.

Most of these stones were only the size of a fist. Even if Yih Xuan was hit, it wasn't a big deal. This degree of damage could not even scratch Yih Xuan's skin. However, there were a few stones that were the size of a human head. Although Yih Xuan was not injured after being hit by these stones, he still felt a burst of pain.

"Persist! Just a little bit more!"

Yih Xuan's willpower was extremely strong. This little bit of pain simply could not make him feel it at all. Even if the pain was ten times greater, Yih Xuan would never frown.

The most important thing for Yih Xuan now was to buy time. The stone falling down didn't bring him any trouble, but told him that there wasn't much time left. The Fire Crystal Ore was about to collapse, and the volcano would also erupt.

Rumble!

The rock kept smashing down, and one of the rocks that was the size of a millstone was right above Yih Xuan. It was aimed at Yih Xuan's head and smashed down.

* Hong! *

After the stone hit Yih Xuan, it rolled to the side. Yih Xuan was unharmed, even his expression did not change.

"Soon, it's almost done!"

Although Yih Xuan was expressionless, there was still some anxiety in his heart.

Suddenly, Yih Xuan felt happy in his heart.

"I feel it. It's a bottleneck! As long as I rush over, my physical body will be comparable to a top grade human-step Xuan Artifact!"

Without saying much, Yih Xuan focused his mind and kept using his profound energy to repair the damage caused by the red light. This was a task that required time. The red light's attack was just that strong, and it could not be changed according to Yih Xuan's thoughts.

Fortunately, during the six days in the ore mine, Yih Xuan's soul had been enhanced. He had already understood how to calm his heart down. At that moment, Yih Xuan's heart was still filled with anxiety. But now, it was getting more and more dangerous. Yih Xuan's heart had calmed down instead.

"There's still time. As long as my body breaks through, there's still time for everything."

The sword qi on the Zixiao Sword had already reached five feet and nine inches, only an inch away from six feet.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth seemed to be trembling. Along with the collapse of the Fire Crystal Ore, the magma had already begun to churn. Waves of lava instantly rose dozens of meters into the sky, and the temperature of the volcano increased at a terrifying speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Fire Crystal Ore continued to collapse, and most of the tunnels were no longer accessible. The cave Yih Xuan was in was almost blocked by the falling rocks.

Yih Xuan's eyes were tightly closed as he sat cross-legged on the ground. Around him were stones of various sizes. His entire body was buried by the stones.

However, Yih Xuan did not care. He did not even move his mind.

"Soon,i'm almost done!"

At this moment, Yih Xuan had reached the most critical moment of breaking through the bottleneck. He was only a little bit away from advancing his Zixiao Sword.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The collapse of the Fire Crystal Ore was even more severe. Looking from outside the mountain, one could see that the side of the volcano was collapsing and tilting bit by bit. The power of the collapse and the tilt of the volcano was so great that it was as if it could overturn mountains and overturn seas. It could be heard from hundreds of miles away.

The magma under the volcano was rolling even more violently. The hot magma had almost reached hundreds of meters in the sky and jumped out of the crater. During this time, a small amount of the lava had already started to erode into the Fire Crystal Ore from the mine. Once this magma entered the cave where Yih Xuan was, Yih Xuan was afraid that he would not be able to escape from this calamity.

Bang!

At this critical moment, Yih Xuan finally broke through the bottleneck of his physical body. The strength of his physical body had reached the level of a top-grade human-step profound weapon.

Yih Xuan opened his eyes. A bright light shot out from his eyes.

Yih Xuan stood up, and the stone that was pressing down on his body was bounced off in an instant. A powerful aura burst out from Yih Xuan's body. This aura was almost comparable to the Silver Armored Beast from before! It was imaginable that Yih Xuan's strength had improved tremendously after his fleshly body broke through.

With a thought, this powerful Qi was retracted. Looking at the scattered stones in the surroundings, a trace of satisfaction flashed across Yih Xuan's eyes. The weight of these stones added up to over a thousand kilograms. If it was in the past, he would have to use nearly thirty percent of his profound strength to bounce these stones away.

But just now, Yih Xuan had only used his own strength to do this. It could be seen that after his physical body had reached the level of a human grade supreme-grade profound artifact, Yih Xuan's pure strength was already not inferior to an ordinary Peak of the Ninth Level Profound Warrior.

Yih Xuan looked at the Zixiao Sword and saw that it was only a step away from advancing. After Yih Xuan broke through, it also broke through.

Boom!

The purple light on the Zixiao Sword suddenly increased to six feet in length. This indicated that the Zixiao Sword had officially advanced to a high-grade earth-step Xuan Artifact.

After the Zixiao Sword advanced, the red light egg that was originally surrounding the Zixiao Sword was still five meters in size. The purple light on the Zixiao Sword flashed and the red light egg was absorbed in an instant. After absorbing the red light egg, the purple light on the Zixiao Sword deepened a little, but it did not continue to grow.

Seeing this, Yih Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart.

"The red light contained in the remaining red light egg is at least one-tenth of the entire Fire Crystal mine. Just now, it was able to increase the sword light of the Zixiao by two to three inches. But now, it can only slightly deepen its color. From this, it seems that if I want the Zixiao to advance once again... I need to find at least a fifty mile long high-grade human-step mine, or a twenty mile long top-grade human-step mine."

Both of these are hard to find! Yih Xuan sighed. However, he did not sigh for long. The magma did not wait for anyone. It picked up the Zixiao Sword. It immediately unleashed the Nine Winds of Wind and Cloud Cycle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A tunnel appeared in front of Yih Xuan. He unleashed the Eight Steps Chasing the Wind and left the cave in a flash.

At the same time, the magma finally started to erupt. Waves of magma instantly rose to a height of over a thousand meters, then quickly fell down. At the same time, waves of lava also started to flow along the tunnel, eroding all the gaps in the volcano.

He spread out his soul perception to search for a way out. The eruption of the magma was too loud, it was hard for Yih Xuan not to know.

Yih Xuan searched for a long time and found that almost all the paths he had chosen had been blocked.

"There's no other way. Now,i can only create my own path!" Yih Xuan waved his hand and a six feet long purple sword Qi burst out, splitting a huge rock in front of Yih Xuan. Yih Xuan dodged and continued to move forward.

At the same time, the magma had already started to erode into all the mines.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Countless stone walls slowly melted under the lava, turning into a puff of smoke.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The volcanic eruption became even more intense, and even more lava flowed into the mine.

After a while, all of the mines were filled with lava. All of the rocks that were smashed down were melted, and countless tunnels were opened up once again.

At this time, Yih Xuan still hadn't come out.

After a few dozen breaths, as if the volcano was about to stop, a figure suddenly burst out from one of the mines with a loud bang.

This figure was in tatters, and he held a purple sword in his hand. It was Yih Xuan.

Yih Xuan, who came out of the mine, knew that he wasn't out of danger yet. The Eight Steps Chasing the Wind was unleashed. In just a few breaths' time, Yih Xuan had arrived at the top of the volcano.

Yih Xuan finally heaved a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at the erupting volcano.

Waves of hot air kept rushing towards Yih Xuan. The sound of the erupting volcano was deafening, as if it was going to shake the heaven and earth.

"The eruption of this volcano is too powerful. I'm afraid it can be heard from hundreds of miles away. At that time, it will definitely attract other people. My consumption in the volcano is too great. I only have less than thirty percent of my profound energy left in my dantian. If I attract other people who want to take my life,i'm afraid that it will be disastrous. I must leave as soon as possible!"

When he thought of this, Yih Xuan immediately activated the Eight Steps Chasing the Wind and flew in a random direction.

Yih Xuan, who had just left, didn't notice that a man in a black robe was staring at him the moment he came out.

"Yih Xuan? He actually ran into him here. It was really a waste of time to find him. I couldn't find him after searching for so long. I didn't expect to see him here. Alright, today will be the day you, Yih Xuan, die!"

A fierce light flashed across the black-robed man's eyes. He followed the direction where Yih Xuan had left and chased after him. His speed was actually not much slower than Yih Xuan, who had used the Eight Steps Chasing the Wind!
