Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

"Thank you, Brother Ning, for helping me hunt the soul beast needed for my seventh soul ring."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "We are brothers. Since you call me Brother Ning, I will naturally help you."

"Moreover, whether this trip will succeed or fail is still unknown."

Di Hong smiled slightly and said nothing more.

It takes a month to travel from Tiandou City to the location of the volcano in the northeast. Since there was no rush, we didn't travel at full speed. The soul beast was there, and it couldn't run away.

A month later.

The group arrived in the northeastern region where the volcano was located.

Stepping off the carriage, although still some distance from the volcano, Di Hong could already sense the dense fire element in the air. While not as powerful as the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it was far stronger than the volcano in the Kingdom of Silves.

Before us lay a long canyon, desolate and lifeless, devoid of any plants, not even withered trees, and without a single animal in sight.

Outside the canyon is a simple little town.

However, it's more like a village than a town, because the town is not big and there aren't many people.

After entering the village, Di Hong took a quick look around and found that the entire town had less than a hundred people, and very few soul masters came here to hunt soul beasts.

Chapter 81 Blazing Earth Dragon

After resting in the town for a night.

The next day.

As the sun rises, its warm rays illuminate the earth, and a billowing stream of scorching air blows out of the canyon.

Although it was only early morning, the townspeople felt incredibly hot because of the proximity to the volcano.

"It's already this hot before we've even entered the Flame Canyon."

The one speaking was Di Qing. As a fire-attribute soul master, he could feel the intense heat, which showed just how high the temperature must be here.

"If an ordinary person were here, they would probably be roasted to a crisp if they stayed too long." The Seventh Elder stared at the canyon ahead. They had to cross the canyon to reach the distant volcano.

Di Hong placed his left hand on his forehead, gazing at the volcano in the distance. From his perspective, the volcano appeared very close, but in reality, it was at least thirty kilometers away. It was only because the volcano was very tall and large that it gave him the feeling of being right in front of him.

The volcano in the distance was barren, devoid of any vegetation, its slopes covered with traces of eruptions, clearly indicating that it was an active volcano. Within a hundred miles of the volcano, only their small town existed, and there was no other human habitation.

"There used to be a city here, but it was destroyed by a volcanic eruption, leaving the surrounding area almost deserted. The canyon in front is the Flame Canyon, which is home to many soul beasts, including some that are ten thousand years old."

Ning Fengzhi told the group what had happened here.

Apart from Soul Masters, almost no one comes to this place.

At this moment, a hot wind mixed with loess blew by, and the group walked towards the canyon against the wind. The hot wind mixed with loess made it impossible for them to open their eyes, and they could only release their soul power to resist the wind. The further they walked into the canyon, the stronger and hotter the wind became.

Di Hong didn't feel anything about this. He had a fire-attribute martial soul and was immune to fire, so the fire element was actually a good thing for him.

Moreover, the weakest among them is a Soul Emperor, so although the hot wind is strong, it won't have much of an effect on them.

The canyon was long and narrow, less than thirty meters wide. Not long after entering the canyon, they saw a two-hundred-year-old soul beast, but the soul beast ran away as soon as it saw them. Four Soul Douluos, one level 70 Soul Saint, and one Soul Emperor—this lineup would make even a level 95 Title Douluo think twice about whether he was strong enough.

After successfully traversing the canyon, the group arrived at the foot of the volcano.

The volcano looks magnificent from the foot of the mountain. The mountain is covered with rocks formed by the cooling of volcanic lava. Some rocks look like twisted ropes, some are full of holes, and some are like pillars.

The six of them climbed toward the summit. According to the information, the soul beast lived inside the lava of the volcano and rarely went out.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast, especially one that can live in magma, is naturally a force to be reckoned with. Upon reaching the mountaintop and standing at the crater, looking down, what came into view was a magma lake formed by rolling lava.

Lava churned in the lake, and heat waves rolled in.

"Is that soul beast right down here?" the Seventh Elder asked.

“That’s right.” Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly.

"According to intelligence, the Fiery Earth Dragon is deep within this lava lake."

"How should we force it out?"

Di Qing looked at the churning lava. If he directly used his soul skill to attack, it might cause a volcanic eruption, and they would also be affected.

"Leave it to me." After saying that, Di Hong activated his Martial Soul Possession and flapped his Vermilion Bird wings to fly above the lava lake.

Ning Fengzhi and the others were also prepared, each releasing their martial souls and waiting. As soon as the Blazing Earth Dragon appeared, they would immediately make their move. The group was spread out, with Tang Lie, the seventh elder of the Clear Sky Sect, and Di Qing at the front, the Soul Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Soul Douluo sent by the royal family on the left and right flanks, and Ning Fengzhi at the very back.

Di Hong placed his hands together, and fiery red soul power began to gather between them. Then he slowly pushed the soul power into the lava lake below.

The condensed soul power slowly fell to the surface of the lava lake, just like a leaf being blown by the wind. But the moment the soul power touched the surface of the lava and spread, the previously turbulent lava instantly calmed down, just like a calm and still water surface.

"His control over his soul power has reached such a level."

Ning Fengzhi, who was not far away, couldn't help but admire. In the entire Soul Master world, those who could control their Soul Power to such an extent were extremely rare, especially those who could control the violent fire attribute energy to such an extent. He knew he couldn't do it.

The magma calmed down, but the soul power he released did not stop. Instead, it continued to penetrate deeper into the magma like threads. Beneath the magma, a massive soul beast covered in lava, with a single horn on its head, was sleeping.

Although it was in magma, it was not affected in any way, and instead it was like a fish in water.

Streams of soul power, like silk threads, fell upon its body, instantly waking it up.

Sensing the sudden appearance of soul power, it immediately understood that someone had come to it.

After being startled awake, it immediately swam upwards.

The magma, which had calmed down, began to churn again.

"Everyone get ready, it's coming out!" Di Hong shouted to the group.

Di Qing and his group were also on high alert.

Before long, a pillar of magma shot into the sky, and from within the magma pillar, a huge figure flew out.

Seeing the blazing earth dragon that was at least twenty meters long, the group immediately attacked without hesitation.

"The seven treasures are named: first, strength; second, speed; and third, soul!"

Ning Fengzhi released three soul skills at the same time, and three beams of colorful light fell on the group, significantly increasing their strength, speed, and soul power.

"This is the amplification of the number one support-type martial soul in the world. It is indeed powerful."

Feeling the increase in his strength, speed, and soul power, Di Hong also gained a general understanding of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. This kind of increase was truly terrifying.

As soon as the Blazing Earth Dragon appeared, it was immediately attacked by five Soul Masters, including Di Hong. Various Soul Powers struck its body, catching it somewhat off guard.

Tang Lie, the seventh elder of the Haotian Sect, seized the opportunity, soared into the air, and swung the Haotian Hammer, which was covered in raging flames, heavily smashing it into the back of the Blazing Fire Earth Dragon.

With Ning Fengzhi's amplification, and given that he himself is a Soul Douluo, even a Title Douluo wouldn't dare to take this hammer blow head-on.

"Oh!"

This hammer blow slammed the Fiery Earth Dragon heavily into the ground, creating a large crater.

"Such a hard shell."

Tang Lie looked at his numb and trembling hands and was somewhat surprised. The power of that hammer blow was enough to make him feel like he had 10,000 jin of force, but it couldn't break through the lava defense on the surface of the blazing earth dragon.

"Don't give it a chance to react!" Di Hong seized the opportunity and released his third soul skill, [Heavenly Descendance of Blazing Fire].

Countless fireballs fell and crashed into the crater, creating a sea of ​​fire. It was at this moment that Di Qing made his move.

"Martial spirit's true form!"

He transformed into a massive fire phoenix and swooped down directly towards the blazing earth dragon in the pit. If the 100,000-year-old soul beast didn't go all out...

"Seven Treasures are famous: the fifth is attack!"

Ning Fengzhi immediately amplified Di Qing's power. The enormous fire phoenix swooped down, and with the amplification from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, its power was comparable to an attack from an ordinary Title Douluo.

However, just as he was about to fall, a thick dragon tail covered in scales suddenly lashed out of the pit.

The dragon's tail slammed heavily onto Di Qing's body.

With a loud "boom," Di Qing let out a painful cry, and the massive fire phoenix body was sent flying backward.

"Second Uncle!" Di Hong was shocked. Even in this state, the Blazing Earth Dragon still had the ability to fight back. They had launched a fierce attack from the very beginning, aiming to suppress the Blazing Earth Dragon from the start.

Chapter 82 Hunting the Fiery Earth Dragon

After Di Qing was sent flying backward, the royal Soul Douluo immediately released his Martial Soul True Form, transforming into a huge eagle that flew towards him.

Because the power of the Blazing Earth Dragon's attack was too great, although it caught Di Qing, the royal Soul Douluo was also sent flying by the huge impact. The two of them crashed heavily to the ground and then rolled down the mountain.

Having taken the hit head-on, Di Qing suffered serious injuries, and even the royal soul master was injured while taking the hit.

The fiery earth dragon leaped out of the pit.

Its massive size caused a tremendous sound upon landing, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.

"Humanity!"

"You are seeking death!"
