I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 813 Innate Flame
Bing Forty-Eight bowed respectfully to the golden-armored divine general who was guarding him.

Although all of them are golden-armored generals, there is a clear distinction in status between the golden-armored generals, and there is a huge gap between their statuses.

As he spoke, Bing Forty-Eight took out a token. The golden-armored general checked it and nodded. He looked at Zhang Chen kindly and said, "Brother, follow me."

"Little brother, you go in with him. This is the Flame Furnace, and I am not allowed to go in. I can only send you here." Bing Forty-Eight looked at Zhang Chen.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen bowed to Bing 48, then followed the golden-armored general who was guarding the place into the canyon.

"You can call me Jia Shiwu." The golden-armored general looked at Zhang Chen, his voice full of kindness.

Zhang Chen was given the name Jia Shiba by the Queen Mother of the West, so he was naturally on equal footing with him.

"Brother Jiashiwu." Zhang Chen called sweetly.

Jia Shiwu was very satisfied with Zhang Chen's address. A smile appeared on his golden face. He then walked in front of Zhang Chen and said to him in a tone of an experienced person, "Fire-refining the golden body is the last step of our golden armor warriors' practice. Once the golden body transformation is completed and all the lessons are complete, it can be transformed into a golden body. From then on, the golden body will be indestructible and have the power to move mountains and cross seas."

"I wonder what the Fire Refined Golden Body means?" Zhang Chen stepped forward and asked with curiosity.

Hearing Zhang Chen's question, Jia Shiwu said, "The bodies we cultivate are made of bronze and iron. Only after being refined by the Kaitian Fire Spirit can we transform into a golden body. Once transformed into a golden body, our strength will enter another world. Not to mention catching stars and taking the moon, we can move mountains and seas without any problem. In the future, as long as we continue to make meritorious deeds and complete the tasks assigned by the Queen Mother of the West, we can obtain the elixir that prolongs our lifespans, and from then on we will be immortal and free in the world."

Zhang Chen finally understood what the Fire Refining Golden Body meant. After hearing what the other party said, he showed a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Brother said before that after our Fire Refining Golden Body, it is the last step of cultivation? Is it possible that there is no breakthrough after the Fire Refining Golden Body?"

Hearing this, the fifth soldier nodded. "That's the theory. Once the golden body is refined by fire, the Queen Mother of the West will not grant the subsequent methods. But I heard that Jiayi once made great contributions, and the Queen Mother of the West made an exception and passed down the three moves of the golden body method. Therefore, Jiayi is the strongest among all the golden armor gods, responsible for guarding the Queen Mother's Peach Garden and taking charge of all matters in Kunlun Mountain."

Zhang Chen was thoughtful after hearing this. It seemed that the Queen Mother of the West intended to control the strength of the Golden Armored Generals, but he didn't know why she would control the strength of the Golden Armored Generals. For the Queen Mother of the West, wouldn't it be better if the Golden Armored Generals under her command were stronger?
Just as countless thoughts were flowing through Zhang Chen's mind, an inexplicable energy was flowing in the distance, and a burning air rushed towards him from the void. Even though he had now become as strong as iron, he could still feel the rolling heat wave.

After walking for about a few hundred meters and turning a corner, he saw a sea of ​​bright red, boiling lava.

The magma ocean was as large as three thousand square meters, with countless magmas rolling and bubbling, and the void was distorted by the burning heat.

"The Fire Spirit of Creation is suppressed under this magma, so this wonder is formed. The Fire Refining Golden Body is to jump into the magma pool, undergo the tempering of the power of the Fire Spirit of Creation, and then complete the final transformation after thousands of temperings." Jia Shiwu said.

Zhang Chen's face changed when he heard that. He felt the burning heat in the air. Even if he had become as strong as iron, he would be melted by the heat waves from the magma pool if he stood on the edge of the cliff. If he jumped into the magma pool, would he have any chance of survival?
"Brother Jiashiwu, don't joke. If we jump in, even a body of copper and iron will not be able to withstand it and will be turned into molten iron." Zhang Chen pretended to be frightened.

Jia Shiwu laughed loudly upon hearing this: "You are really funny, there is a Creation Fire Spirit suppressed under this magma. Not to mention you, even if Jia Yi, who has practiced three more moves than us, jumps in, he will only turn into molten iron."

"Then how do we complete the Fire Refining Golden Body?" Zhang Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that they didn't have to jump in directly, and asked.

The golden armored general smiled lightly upon hearing this, and then took out a fist-sized golden jar from his sleeve. The jar was golden, and there was a mysterious aura rising and falling inside it, as if the sun, moon and stars were shrouding it: "If you want to complete the Fire Refining Golden Body, you need to use this magic oil to apply all over your body, so that you can withstand the heat waves emitted by the Creation Fire Spirit and complete the transformation of the Fire Refining Golden Body."

The golden armor god opened the lid, revealing a fiery red viscous liquid in the jar. Jia Shiwu said to Zhang Chen, "Take off your clothes and stretch out your hands. Next, apply this kerosene all over your body."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen followed Jia Shiwu's words and stretched out his hand. He saw Jia Shiwu pour kerosene on his hand, and then Zhang Chen smeared the kerosene on his body.

As Zhang Chen applied the ointment, a cool feeling surged into his heart, as if the scorching heat from the outside world was isolated. At that moment, it was as if he had come from the scorching summer to the cool autumn. Jia Shiwu applied the ointment on the back where Zhang Chen could not reach, and then said to Zhang Chen: "You can jump in now. As long as you endure the pain of transformation, you can complete the transformation of the fire-refined golden body. Remember, the longer you refine in this magma, the better the transformation will be."

"I wonder how many days it took you golden-armored generals to train?" Zhang Chen asked tentatively.

Jia Shiwu said, "I heard that Jiayi took five days to refine, while the others only took two or three days. As for me, I took seven days to refine, and I am the most refined among all the golden armored generals. If Jiayi had not practiced the subsequent skills, he would never be my opponent."

Zhang Chen looked at Jia Shiwu who looked smug, thinking about something in his heart. Then he saw Jia Shiwu said to Zhang Chen: "Jump down and complete the transformation of the Fire Refined Golden Body. Remember, the more thorough the transformation of the Fire Refined Golden Body is, the more attention it will get from the Queen Mother of the West. The length of time we spend on the training is related to the purity of the golden body, so you must not neglect it."

"Thank you, Brother Fifteen, for the reminder. I'll go right away." Zhang Chen looked at the boiling magma and jumped in without thinking.

"Hey..." Jia Shiwu was shocked to see Zhang Chen jumped in impatiently. He shouted to Zhang Chen, but it was too late. He saw the magma rolling out a splash and Zhang Chen had disappeared.

"This idiot! When everyone enters the magma, they all try to enter it bit by bit. Who would just jump in directly?" Jia Shiwu scratched his head: "I'm afraid he will suffer this time."

After Zhang Chen jumped into the magma, the Fire-Repelling Pearl hidden deep in his soul flickered slightly, and then all the burning air was absorbed by the Fire-Repelling Pearl. Although Zhang Chen was in the flames, he still felt cool, even cooler than the outside world.

"My fire-proof beads can actually resist the fire power emitted by the Creation Fire Spirit?" Zhang Chen was floating in the magma, with a look of joy on his face.

“However, the power of the flame was blocked by the Fire-Repellent Bead, and I was unable to complete the transformation of my golden body.” Thinking of this, Zhang Chen gathered some of the power of the Fire-Repellent Bead. The next moment, he saw a horrifying burning air surging towards him. In an instant, Zhang Chen's entire body was like a red-hot block of iron, emitting a bright flame color.

The terrifying power of fire hammered and forged his body, constantly refining away the impurities in his body.

In the past, Zhang Chen drank iron juice and ate copper balls, which naturally accumulated impurities in his body. Now, under the power of the scorching fire spirit, the impurities in his body were constantly refined and were refined into nothingness bit by bit.

A sharp pain came over him, but Zhang Chen had already refined his soul and cut off the pain perception between his soul and body, allowing the scorching power of the fire spirit to temper all the orifices in his body.

Zhang Chen was still mindful of observing the changes in his own soul at this time. He saw that when his Sun True Fire power met the power of the Creation Fire Spirit, it was like a cat meeting a mouse. It actually fell into a state of silence, as if it was suppressed by heaven and earth and did not dare to contend with the external fire spirit power.

“What a powerful Creation Fire Spirit! Even the Sun’s True Fire has to bow down to the power of the Creation Fire Spirit.” Zhang Chen’s eyes showed a hint of disbelief.

You must know that you have not yet truly come into contact with the power of the Fire Spirit of Creation. What you are suffering from now is just the residual heat transmitted from the magma by the Fire Spirit of Creation.

"How terrifying would a true Creation Fire Spirit be?" Zhang Chen's eyes were filled with burning light: "If I could refine or subdue the Creation Fire Spirit..."

Zhang Chen thought that since he had the fire-proof beads, it might be worth a try.

"I just don't know if the Fire-Repellent Bead can withstand the power of the Creation Fire Spirit." Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of contemplation. After a slight hesitation, he turned his body and continued to lurk under the magma.

"I have now obtained the authority of water, metal, wood and earth, but I haven't found a chance to use the authority of fire. The power of the Creation Fire Spirit is so overbearing. It is an opportunity for me. If I can obtain the authority of fire, I can then gather the authority of the five elements, and there will definitely be a big transformation. Besides, the Queen Mother of the West is so powerful. If I have a chance to subdue the Creation Fire Spirit, I may have a chance to compete with the Queen Mother of the West. If I don't work hard, I will have no ability to fight back against the Queen Mother of the West." Thinking of this, Zhang Chen continued to lurk deep into the magma.

It was too difficult for Zhang Chen to work out the authority of fire attribute. After all, he had the true fire of the sun to protect him, and it was almost impossible for the fire in this world to hurt him. The fire could not hurt him, so naturally it could not stimulate the golden finger and work out the corresponding authority. Therefore, the appearance of the Fire Spirit of Creation was also a huge opportunity for him.
