I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

Chapter 166 - Elemental Nexus Realm 3

Chapter 166 – Elemental Nexus Realm 3

It was overjoyed it had never been in a place more welcoming than this before!

But besides this point, his Dragon soul was also telling Dante something else.

It was telling him that this was a place where he could gain energy points!

The more his dragon soul called out to him, the more Dante got excited at the potential of this place.

And seeing the eager look on Dante's face, Vincent couldn't help but burst into laughter

"Hahaha! You don't have to thank me!"

"I knew based on your Martial spirit that you would definitely be cultivating a fire-based cultivation technique, so I simply chose the best spot for you."

Hearing this, Dante just turned to give Vincent a strange 

look and wanted to say something.

But in the end, he decided against it and just shook his head.

Vincent's logic and reasoning had been completely wrong, but somehow, it all managed to work out, so Dante couldn't even bring himself to be angry at the man.

He just decided to leave him alone and let him have his little moment of pride.

After laughing to his heart's content, Vincent just took one last look at Dante to make sure he was happy with the cultivation environment He had chosen and seeing everything was alright, decided not to trouble the boy any longer,

"Dante, seeing as you're quite happy with the location I chose, I won't be troubling you any longer. 

Remember, you're paying for each second you spend here, so I don't want to waste your time any more than I have to."

But just before Vincent left, he seemed to remember something important.

"oh yeah! The nearest exit to you is simply a 30 min flight north. It won't be too long for you I'm guessing."

Although Vincent casually reminded Dante of this, he was secretly sweating.

'Damn! I almost left the boy stranded with no direction! If his luck was bad, he could even end up being lost in here for months and at that point, I'll have that old ghost Jarred coming for my head!'

With this terrifying thought still in mind, Vincent quickly bade farewell to Dante and began flying off into the sky.

Dante just watched Vincent fly by him before his attention was quickly grabbed by the sudden spew of lava behind him.

  Turning around, Dante looked to see the bubbling sea of lava at his feet as an eager smile crept onto his face.

"Well, let's get started then."

soon, Dante got seated into a lotus position at the edge of the lava lake.

He instantly began to circulate his cultivation technique, drawing the ambient Spirit energy towards him, but Dante didn't stop there. 

He soon activated another feature of his system that he had never used before. 

One of the many other ways his system had to gain energy points and increase his Dragon level.

Absorbing Energy from areas with extremely high Elemental Energy concentration!

<<Ding!>>

<<Area of High Elemental Energy Concentration discovered! Should Elemental Energy be converted into Energy Points or Dragon Level?>>

Hearing this, Dante didn't hesitate. In his mind, there was only one option that made sense,

"Convert all Elemental Energy into Dragon Level!"

<<Ding!>>

<< The conversion process has begun!>>

as soon as Dante heard those words from the system, he suddenly felt all the ambient Fire energy rush towards him.

Dante's system was like an avaricious beast, greedily devouring all the fire elemental energy present. 

for minutes Dante was sat in this strange state of allowing his dragon soul to constantly absorb the elemental energy in the surroundings.

But even with this display, Dante wasn't satisfied and the reason for this was simple.

There was no progress.

Dante had been sitting in a lotus position and absorbing energy for over thirty minutes, but not once had he seen the Bar for his dragon level move.

If things continued as they are now, then Dante was certain that even if he gave it another hour, his level would still barely move!

Before he did this, Dante knew the method of directly absorbing Elemental Energy from his surroundings to gain EP would be much worse than using an Elemental treasure, but he never expected it to be that bad.

Just by looking at the poor rate of increase, Dante was starting to doubt whether 1 month would be enough.

If Dante wanted to increase the absorption rate, then he would have to go into a place of even higher Elemental energy concentration, and he already had an idea on what to do.

Dante's eyes slowly wandered over the surroundings and onto a nearby lava lake 

The deeper you go, the hotter the lava and therefore the higher the concentration of fire elemental spirit energy. 

Despite knowing all this, what really made Dante confident in this assumption was still the one thing that had gotten him this far.

His dragon souls.

His Red Dragon soul felt an inexplicable connection, an almost homely feeling calling him to come towards that place in front of him.

Dante Slowly let the urge of His dragon souls control him and before he realised he was already walking towards the edge of the largest lava lake.

But the surprises didn't end there as, without even the slightest hesitation, Dante walked straight inside! 

As soon as Dante's body made contact with the lava, it instantly began to stir around him, but Dante still continued wading deeper and deeper into the lava lake.

"Boom!"

Besides Dante, a geyser of lava blasted straight out into the surface, causing a great disturbance. But Dante, in his strange stance, still didn't seem to notice this and continued walking mindlessly into the lava lake.

Eventually, Dante had walked completely into the lava lake, being completely submerged!

Even with his ridiculous fire resistance, Dante could still feel the surrounding temperature heat up to a ridiculous level, as his body was suddenly overcome with a strange sensation.

it was only that by the time he finally came to his senses Dante found himself a few metres deep into the lava pool.

'Shit!' Thought Dante

'I only let myself go for a few minutes, so why the fuck did I end up in here?'

Dante looked around to see his clothes were completely burnt to ashes and it just wasn't his clothes that were suffering.

Even his space ring was barely able to resist the ridiculous heat he was experiencing and showing signs of breaking.

Dante knew that he couldn't afford to damage his space ring, so without thinking, he quickly removed it and chucked it outside of the lava pool onto the surface. 

Now that Dante was sure that he wouldn't lose some of his most valuable assets, he finally had a chance to focus on the feeling he was getting from deeper within the lava lake.

Dante swam deeper into the lake and as he got deeper, he felt the Elemental energy concentration start to increase at an extremely alarming rate.

But it was not just fire elemental energy, other small trickles of elemental energy could still be felt even tho it was still predominantly fire elemental energy.

As the energy was smiling in this sea energy, Dante he felt it soon encase his body, almost like he was being held in someone's warm embrace.

Dante didn't even try to resist this sensation and allowed it to fully consume him.

soon Dante could feel his eyelids get heavy and start to dip as a wave of tiredness suddenly hit him.

All Dante could do was subconsciously start to circulate his cultivation technique.

In this strange state of half-consciousness, Dante slowly fell asleep and quietly drifted towards the bottom of the humongous lava lake as shadows of roaring dragons could be seen flickering around him…

….

on the plains of the underground, the floor was still as barren as always.

Areas of berserk elemental energy could still be seen raging around, ranging from titanic snowstorms to bubbling magma lakes.

It just seemed to be like any other day in the Elemental Nexus realm until a slight disturbance could be felt in a region.

At first it was nothing more than a slight tremor, so no one took any notice of it.

but soon tremors never stopped and even progressed to that of an earthquake!

suddenly in the region of the lava lake, a humongous pillar of lava burst into the sky.

"ROAR!"

A terrifying bestial roar sounded out across the Elemental Nexus realm, causing the few individuals present in the realm to turn to look in direction of the terrifying sound.
