Chapter 390 Decay
"Why does the young master like your back?"
Lin Wanxi suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, but she pretended to be calm and asked.
"Because when I turned back into a fox, you were so happy sitting on my back."
A few traces of memories flashed in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she spoke truthfully.
"..."
Lin Wanxi's expression relaxed, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Then, with a serious expression, she said earnestly, "Although we are sending a gift to the young master, Xiaoxiao can't send herself over."
"It seems so."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully, then hung her head again, looking worried, "But then, what should we give him? It seems like he has everything he needs."
"How about we..."
Lin Wanxi was halfway through her words when she suddenly looked in a certain direction.
Then, her expression became a little anxious, and she hurriedly said to Ye Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, I still have some things to deal with. You think about what gift to give first, and I will come to you when I am done."
"Sister Wanxi, do you need help?"
Ye Xiaoxiao raised her head slightly, her eyes full of concern.
"No need, Xiaoxiao, be good and take care of yourself."
Lin Wanxi smiled and gently rubbed Ye Xiaoxiao's head. Then her expression changed and she turned around and galloped away into the distance.
"What gift should I give..."
……
Within the ruins.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the darkness slowly receded. Before long, a sea of magma, surging with scorching waves, suddenly crashed into Lin Chuan and Li Yue's sight.
The heat rolled in like an invisible curtain, distorting the scene before my eyes.
"There is no way."
Lin Chuan looked at the endless sea of magma with a frown on his face.
"This should be the place where the Phoenix is reborn."
Li Yue frowned slightly, her eyes scanning back and forth across the sea of magma.
"There seems to be something under the magma."
Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared intently into the depths of the lava sea.
“It looks like a lotus.”
Li Yue's eyes followed Lin Chuan's gaze, and the outline of a pitch-black lotus appeared faintly. The strange black color seemed particularly abrupt against the crimson magma.
"Om."
At this moment, the purple thunder in Dantian, which was locked above the lake by the black and white iron chains, began to become restless.
"Is this... fear?"
Lin Chuan was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He could clearly sense the emotions conveyed by the purple thunder in his dantian. Mixed with that uneasy restlessness was a faint but non-negligible trace of fear.
"This heavenly punishment has become so weak now, could it be because of this black lotus?"
Lin Chuan frowned slightly, his eyes filled with thought.
A moment later, he raised his arm slightly, and a purple-gold lightning rushed straight towards the sea of magma.
At this moment, the smell of decay rose rapidly from the bottom of the lake like black mist. Almost in an instant, the Yin-Yang Divine Thunder dissipated out of thin air without any warning.
"What the hell is this."
Lin Chuan frowned, his eyes full of shock and vigilance.
"Legend has it that in addition to divine beasts, there are also strange beasts, which are variants of divine beasts."
Li Yue pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, "Among them, there's a beast called Ming, a variation of the dragon. It's said to have the ability to cause all things to wither and decay."
"At first, I was quite curious about what kind of snake could force Phoenix to be reborn after killing it. If it was Ming, then perhaps it would make sense."
She sighed slightly, a hint of solemnity in her eyes.
"Didn't Ming die in the end? What's with this lotus? Why did it appear in the Phoenix's nirvana place?"
Lin Chuan's eyes revealed deep confusion.
"I'm just guessing based on the aura emitted by this black lotus. Who knows what happened back then?"
Li Yue sighed softly and looked at the lava sea again. The black lotus was faintly visible in the heat wave.
"Sister Li, do you think this black lotus can be subdued?"
There was a glimmer of expectation in Lin Chuan's eyes as he turned to look at Li Yue.
"Don't be ridiculous!"
Li Yue pulled Lin Chuan into her arms and said, "That aura makes even my heart palpitate. What should I do if something happens to you?"
"Don't worry, Sister Li, I'm just asking casually."
Lin Chuan gently stroked Li Yue's back, his voice soft and soothing, trying to calm her nervous emotions.
He knew in his heart that even the powerful heavenly punishment was wary of this lotus, so how could he act rashly without any confidence?
However, a doubt quietly grew in his heart like a vine. This heavenly punishment clearly had a hint of intelligence, but why would it choose to be drained of its own power and dissipate rather than be annihilated by the decaying aura of the lotus?
"Okay, dear, we just need to find the exit to leave here. Don't worry about anything else. If we really can't find it..."
Li Yue lowered her eyes slightly, a faint blush appearing on her fair face, "Then we will stay here for now."
"Sister Li doesn't seem to want to go out?"
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"No... No way! I... I was just preparing for a rainy day and making plans for the worst."
Li Yue's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of panic. She quickly pushed Lin Chuan away from her arms.
"Let's not talk about whether this magma sea has an end. Even if it does, with this black lotus here, we probably won't be able to move forward."
As he spoke, Lin Chuan took out a spirit stone from the storage space and threw it fiercely into the distance.
As soon as the spirit stone passed over the sea of magma, the familiar smell of decay surged over again. In the blink of an eye, the spirit stone was completely annihilated and disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.
"How about we try to go back the way we came?"
Li Yue opened her red lips slightly and looked at Lin Chuan with her beautiful eyes.
"But there's a stone gate over there, so we're still trapped...wait..."
Lin Chuan stopped talking halfway, then cast his eager gaze towards the broken stone door in the distance.
"The rune is still there, but it seems to have lost its charm. I don't know if this rune will be useful to the black lotus."
As the shadows of the sun and the moon appeared in Lin Chuan's eyes, a dim golden rune appeared in Lin Chuan's field of vision.
"Are you planning to use that stone door against Black Lotus?"
Li Yue followed Lin Chuan's gaze, her eyes moving, and she quickly guessed his intention.
"Just give it a try, what if it works?"
Lin Chuan withdrew his gaze and slowly walked towards the broken stone door.
After a while, Lin Chuan wrapped the broken stone door with his spiritual power and threw it towards the location of the black lotus.
"Om."
The smell of decay emanated again, and the stone gate was instantly destroyed. However, a dim golden rune appeared in the air, annihilating the decaying force.
