I Regenerate 10,000 Times Faster

Chapter 332: Infernal Aether Lotus (Fixed)

Sage smiled, and returned to his seat.

"Your blade attack had only slightly missed, otherwise you would have been able to take out that attack." When Caelum sat down, Atticus who was sitting right next to him suddenly said.

Caelum froze a little, he looked at Atticus with a complicated look.

The Dean Of the Malevolent Frost academy smiled as well, although Caelum had lost, but he had at least wounded Sage which was not bad at all. And they had Atticus, who still hadn't started yet.

Magnus was slightly surprised by Sage's power, but he did not care much about it. In this competition, there were only two people he wanted to beat, one of them was Xietien, who used to be one of the top four demon genius. Once he was able to beat him, he would be able to officially get the demon genius title, otherwise it would not be proper.

But, he was fairly confident about it, he knew that he was only lacking a ceremony of some sort. Of course, before everything else, he would have to take care of Tyrion, and destroy the Primordial Fiendgod body, making his life miserable.

Unfortunately, it was not the time for that yet. If he rushed to challenge him, then it would be very suspicious, people would think that he wanted revenge for Rexis.

Then it might give his opponent an excuse to refuse to take up the challenge, he might even say that he had used too much of his energy and still needed time to recover, those who did not know any better would believe him and might even support him.

If Magnus decided to kill someone, he would not leave his opponent with any chance to back out.

'I will let you live for a little bit longer.' Magnus tried to control his temper.

The competing performance was a great opportunity for those students from different academies and powerful parties to learn, it not only let them feel the pressure, but it also offered opportunities to achieve breakthroughs. Even if they were not able to have any breakthroughs, it would at least prepare them for their future improvements.

All of a sudden, the whole Arena turned quiet as they saw Kyrex, the second ranked Supernal student of the Crimson Sun Convenant walk onto the stage.

"It's Kyrex! Another demon genius level student."

"I wonder who he is going to challenge, is it going to be Jordan from Chaotic Moon Valley? Or Magnus?"

"Impossible. The Crimson Sun Convenant academy and the Chaotic Moon Valley had been quite close lately, and their students had been hanging out together quite often, it is very unlikely for them to challenge each other. I think, he is going to challenge Xietien from the Death Gate academy, the Hanshan demon genius."

"Eh, how did I not think of that?! Although Xietien is not as powerful as when he was at his peak, he still has his reputation. Without beating him, it is impossible to steal his title."

Hearing the chattering around him, Kyrex sneered at Xietien, "Xietien, today is the time for you to hand over your demon genius title. Stop hoarding it."

Xietien walked onto the stage without any expression, he said, "I never cared about the demon genius title However, if you want to take something from me, you would have to ask if I would like to give it to you or not."

"Haha, do you think it is still two years ago? With your power now, you are no longer qualified for that title, you should let the people who are worthy to have it." Kyrex sneered.

"Since you are so confident about it, then come and get it. However, I am afraid that you would not like the result."

Xietien stood thirty steps away from Kyrex, he was wearing blue round-neck and had nothing in his hands. He looked just like any other guy in the street. But when one looked closer, they could see that he had the energy waves of an ancient beast that had survived for centuries, waiting to take on whatever that came at it.

Tyrion said to Lucia, "It seems like brother Luo had hidden it quite well."

Lucia said, "You can see it?"

"Only an instinct. Although I don't like Kyrex, he's truly powerful. I am afraid this is going to be a tough battle." Tyrion scanned the two on the stage with his sense, he could sense the completely different aura being emitted by those two. If you said that Xietien was a peaceful ancient beast, then Kyrex would be a mad volcano, waiting for a moment to explode and burn everything around him.

"If you are able to handle this attack without backing out, then you are eligible for me to use my full power." Kyrex's body slowly floated into the air, which gave people the impression that he was extremely relaxed. However, once he threw out a kick, that feeling had completely changed.

That kick was like the outburst of a volcano, that aggressiveness made everyone present feel that something bad was going to happen.

"This attack, I will take it!"

Xietien's pupils suddenly changed color, a bright purple light poured out and formed into a bridge-like purple Qi behind his back, and continued to spread. It looked like it was going to bring something horrible.

"The ninth stage of [Ethereal Purple Domain]! Ethereal Purple Qi in the East!"

The head elder's eyes widened, as he said word by word.

Hearing him, Tyrion started to think. The [Ethereal Purple Domain] was one of the most fascinating low rank Earth Realm combat arts in the Death Gate academy. The eighth level was known as the [Six-Eye Purple Heart], and the ninth stage was known as the [Purple Qi in the East].

Once someone reached the ninth stage, there would be purple Qi visibly being absorbed into their body which would massively increase their fighting strength. Rumour had it that once someone reached the peak of the ninth stage, they could even bring out a bunch of lotus flowers made of purple Qi, which could be used as a defensive art.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A series of thunderous booms rose in the air. That was just a simple kick, yet, it managed to release waves of violently and terrifying power that roared towards Xietien like a descending mountain axe.

Xietien eyes glistened and he stood perfectly still and thrust both of his arms forward. Large amounts of dust that had been absorbed by Ethereal Purple Qi, condensed into a gigantic millstone. It blocked the streams of power released by that kick, it was as tremendous as a volcanic eruption.

In the next moment, a dazzling purple light burst out, it was so bright that people couldn't even directly look at; thunderous booms came right after that, and even intensely shook the entire area.

"He did it! Xietien blocked the attack!"

"Judging from what happened just now, Xietien had achieved the ninth-level of the [Ethereal Purple Domain], no wonder he was so confident about fighting against Kyrex."

" it seems like he wouldn't let anyone take his demon genius title away!"

"You're right, after all Xietien has built a solid foundation before, even if he had been temporarily surpassed, he can definitely last longer than ordinary fighters when it comes to a battle."

Although most of the people were shocked, none of them felt too unexpected about Xietien's performance. He was the famous Death demonic genius, how could he be weak? Besides, as he tried to push Xietien back with only a single kick, it more or less made it seem that Kyrex had been looking down on Xietien. But then again, no one knew exactly how much power Kyrex used.

Jordan, who had once competed against Xietien with three moves, showed a faint smile. 'Back then, I only used eighty percent of my power, now you're finally qualified to have an even fight against me.'

The Crimson Sun Convenant academy's Head Elder now had a very dark face. He previously thought that Kyrex could definitely win against Xietien, but he never thought that Xietien would suddenly become as powerful and potentially dangerous as he was before. Although his strength stayed at the same level, he abruptly achieved the ninth-level of the Ethereal Purple Domain.

Fortunately, he hadn't reached the peak level of the ninth-level yet, otherwise, he would become nearly invincible non the same realm unless his opponent was at a much higher level than him."

"The Death Gate academy is rising again!" another Crimson Sun Convenant academy's instructor said with a tinge of worry.

Their Head Elder snorted coldly and responded silently, "We will just kill these damn kids for good, so that the Death Gate academy can never raise again, and we will tread on them forever."

"Exactly, once the Death Gate academy rises, they will definitely cause trouble for everyone, so we have to prevent that from happening."

Their voices had been condensed into a slight stream of power, and weren't transmitted out, however, Tyrion sensed a fierce killing intent from them.

Tyrion also watched with a curious expression. It was impossible to get a clear glimpse of the light figure's features, but the dragon still spiraled with a fleeting, yet intimidating, demeanor that rippled between heaven and earth. It was a sight that struck fear and awe into the hearts of any who saw it.

"RUMBLE!!!"

The illusionary White Dragon Overlord raised his hand and the white dragon roared. A burst of myriad color erupted like the burning sun and rose over the lake. The water instantly frothed and boiled.

Shuu! Shhhuu!

Five colors were shining brighter than any others and shot towards the five mountain pillars.

Chiii!

Each pillar of light touched one of the Milky Way waterfalls and split them open. The colors illuminated the cliff faces behind the waterfalls.

Kachaa!

The cliff faces tumbled down, one massive stone after another, revealing five huge runes to the eyes of the observers.

"Thats..."

Everyone stared at the runes in shock.

"RUMBLE!!!"

The five ancient runes glowed with brilliant light and left their cliff faces like living creatures and gathered above the lake.

"Roarr!"

The moment the five runes gathered, the white dragon lifted its muzzle, roared towards the sky, and charged into the seals. There was a flash of light and the space began to distort, turning into a vortex of light a few dozen feet wide.

Shuuuuu!

Another beam of light rushed out from the vortex and into the sky, bearing the image of a huge white dragon. The roars of dragons echoed for hundreds of miles. It was truly a spectacular sight to anyone in the Prime Draconis Ridge.

"The Overlord Sacred dimensional relics has appeared!"

Everyone's heartbeats quickened. The Overlord Sacred dimensional relics that'd been hidden for several hundred years had finally appeared!

"Charge!"

Someone shouted. Then countless figures rose up and rushed like locusts towards the vortex.

Tyrion's dark pupils burned with excitement as well; he was very interested in the rumored Overlord Sacred dimensional relics. He wanted to take the opportunity to make himself even stronger and be immortal.

"Let's go."

Tyrion looked up and took in a deep breath of chilly air. Something reflected in his black pupils. His voice rumbled deep and low with resoluteness that couldn't be heard. His road would be hard, but in this world, there was still something that he was willing to chase after, even if it required him to give everything he could.

Aelira also nodded as she reminded, "Be cautious. A Overlord Sacred dimensional relics is no less dangerous than a 4th-dimensional zone. It won't be easy to obtain the treasures the Overlord left behind."

She lightly inhaled a breath of air, then became the first to move out. Counting Tyrion and the other three, the four streaks of light entered the earth-shaking mass of bodies that flowed towards the huge glowing portal.

The moment Tyrion entered the portal, he felt his surroundings ripple with chaos. His vision blacked out for a moment, then returned. At the same time, a surge of heat blew directly on his face.

Tyrion opened his eyes with an expression of astonishment. Before him was a vast lake of magma and he was standing on a platform in the middle of it all. Flashes of light continued at regular intervals as one figure after another materialised on the platform.

Tyrion swept his eyes around the island and suddenly realised that all of his party members were missing.

"Were we separated by the portal's space ripples?" Tyrion frowned. This Overlord Sacred dimensional relics was indeed worthy of its name. This was a man-made dimension. He was shocked by just thinking about how it could've been created. However, Tyrion knew that one would have to be exceptionally powerful to open a dimension.

Even a True Fiendgod could barely accomplish opening a cubic meter space.

Tyrion shook his head. It looked like they'd been temporarily separated; however, they'd probably run across each other, sooner or later. They were strong enough, as long as they didn't encounter any peculiar troubles. But, right now, he had to take care of himself, first.

Tyrion looked around. The stone platform he stood on wasn't the only one in this gigantic lake of magma. The sounds of a commotion drifted from somewhere far away.

"I should leave this place, first."

Tyrion took two steps forward and his line of sight was drawn to the other end of the magma lake. That place should be connected to the depths of the Sacred dimensional relics.

"Hmm? What's that?"

Just when Tyrion was about to skim off, a few cries of surprise sounded from his stone platform.

Tyrion was alerted by those cries and his eyes snapped back to the source. A fiery-red lotus was blooming on the surface of magma. The center of the flower blazed with flames and within those flames were more thumb-size lotuses of fire.

Ripples of astonishing Genetic energy fluctuated throughout the space. The air itself felt like it was on fire.

"That's..."

Tyrion looked at the floating fiery-red lotus and, at first, drew a blank. Then, he recognised it and asked, "Is that the Infernal Aether Lotus?"

The Infernal Aether Lotus was an extremely rare treasure. Its seeds were formed from the purest Flame Genetic energy that could be found between the heavens and earth. It possessed a god-level effect for refining the physique and also had great benefits towards cultivation.

Even in the auction house, the price of such a treasure wouldn't be low. But, right now, there were so many of them floating on the magma lake.

"That's the Infernal Aether Lotus?!!"

When Tyrion identified the burning lotus blossoms, a surge of surprised cries burst out from the experts around him. A heavy feeling of greed settled within countless pairs of eyes. Never could they have imagined such wealth just after entering the Sacred dimensional relics. The Overlord Sacred dimensional relics was, indeed, worthy of its name.

Tyrion licked his lips as he swept his eyes over the vast lake of magma. His heart jumped at seeing so many Infernal Aether Lotuses.

As far as he knew, it was rare to find Infernal Aether Lotuses growing in such large clumps. But, if they did, then there was a chance that another rare treasure would be born.

The Hellion Aether Flower.

It was an evolved form of the Infernal Aether Lotus. It could greatly enhance the progress of those who possess fire attributed super cells or combat arts.

Even if Tyrion didn't practice that particular aspect, it'd be a great benefit to his physique if he consumes it.

"There are so many Infernal Aether Lotuses growing in this place, so there must be one that's succeeded in its evolution!"

A look of determination flashed through Tyrion's eyes. Just as he was prepared to leap, a loud laugh burst out from someone behind him. Then, a figure leaped before him, heading directly towards one of the Infernal Aether Lotuses.

"Haha! So many Infernal Aether Lotuses! What luck!"

The figure was heading directly towards the Infernal Aether Lotus. Tyrion narrowed his eyes.

Rustle

The figure landed on top of the Infernal Aether Lotus and clutched at it while laughing. However, the moment he prepared to pluck it, the magma underneath him burst upwards and a scarlet shadow twisted itself around his legs. With a violent jerk, he was dragged into the magma.

"Arghhhhh!"

"Help me!!!"

He cried mournfully. A green smoke rose from the spot he'd disappeared.

Tyrion, and any others who'd been ready to act, instantly recalculated with different expressions on their faces. So there was such vicious creatures lurking under the magma?

...

"What's that?!"

Everyone stood on the stone platform staring down into the magma in shock at the unforeseen event that'd just occurred before their eyes. Scarlet shadows flashed under the surface of the magma.

The boiling liquid moved and gave the spectators a preview of a massive horned python covered in fiery-red scales. The boiling flames didn't cause it the slightest discomfort; on the contrary, it seemed quite content with its environment.

These snakes roamed freely below the surface of the magma. One glanced at the human figures standing the stone platform with a cold, savage light in its eyes.

"Those are Flame-forged Magma pythons!"

Someone cried out in alarm when they recognized the savage creatures hiding within the magma. These Dimensional beasts were creatures that possessed the ability to control the magma from the moment they were born within it. As they're hidden under the magma, they were also extremely difficult to deal with.

"If there's a treasure, then there's always something guarding it. It looks like these Flame Eaters are guarding the Infernal Aether Lotuses." Tyrion nodded to himself. However, there was nothing here that he feared. It was true that Flame Eaters weren't easy to deal with, but they weren't enough to make him pull back, either.

"Hmph, just a few little Flame Eaters wants to keep us from acquiring the Fire Lotuses?"

The cold snort sounded from a short distance away — a man with a cold laugh on his face as he released rippling, potent Genetic energy. He moved in a burst towards the magma.

Tshhhhhh!

Right before he was about to pluck the Infernal Aether Lotus, several scarlet lights burst from underneath the surface of the magma lake. A wild gale sprung up.
