Chapter 335: Hello Aether Flower! (Fixed)
It was highly possible that those ripples were coming from the Hellion Aether Flower!
That's why Tyrion had seized the opportunity to escape the grey-cloaked Elder by diving into the magma lake. This way, he could spend his time searching for the Hellion Aether Flower, instead.
"That old fart. The next time we meet, I'll give you a taste of my moves." Tyrion coldly snorted to himself. If there hadn't been other things holding him back, how could he have let himself be suppressed like that? If Tyrion had gone all out, then that old fart would either be dead, or have had a layer of his skin scraped off. However, the exchange would've been exhausting on Tyrion's part.
Tyrion didn't slow his search as these thoughts circulated through his heart. The deeper he dived into the magma lake, the stronger the heat became. The temperature at this depth was even starting to penetrate the defenses of his Hellfire Blackflame.
If this went on, then Tyrion wouldn't be able to continue, with or without the Blackfire protection.
The Blackfire cell within him suddenly pulsed and he immediately headed towards the direction the cell had indicated. In a few moments later, he looked up ahead with an expression of excitement on his face.
The scarlet magma was boiling harder over here. In the center of it all floated a rainbow-coloured lotus. Not even the magma could approach the brilliant rainbow colors that glowed from it.

A strange fragrance spread through the area and seemed to disperse the heat that had built up in Tyrion's body.
Tyrion studied the rainbow lotus that was deep in the magma with an expression of exhilaration. This was the Hellion Aether Flower that he'd been searching for!
...
It really is the Hellion Aether Flower.
Tyrion's eyes were blazing as he stared at the rainbow-coloured lotus submerged in the magma lake. Joy had settled within him as his plan bore fruit, as expected. The Fire Genetic energy around here was so strong that it could support many Infernal Aether Lotuses at once, so there simply had to be one that'd managed to evolve.
The only difference in his plans was that the treasure hadn't been floating on the surface; instead, it'd been hidden deep in the magma.
The magma was boiling so hot that it could melt metal. Fiendgods wouldn't dare to dive into it. If the Black fire hadn't been of a legendary rank and protecting Tyrion's body, then he wouldn't have been able to obtain the Hellion Aether Flower, even if he knew where it'd been hidden. The only thing he could've done was sigh and leave with depressed spirits.
Tyrion licked his lips as he continued his pace towards the Hellion Aether Flower.
But, the moment before Tyrion reached the Hellion Aether Flower, he sensed a sudden ripple through the magma. A scarlet light pierced through the lake and was headed towards him at a startling speed.
Tyrion was temporarily caught off guard by the sudden attack, but he still managed to she old himself with the shield.
"Claaaang!"
The scarlet light collided with the shield, causing it to shake violently and shatter.
"Pfffffft!"
Tyrion's face turned pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes glazed over in shock as he barely managed to turn his head towards the right.
A scarlet snake slithered through the magma. It was covered in scarlet scales and had flaming horns. Other than that, it didn't look to be all that powerful. The only thing that was unique about it was the fact that its horns were burning with dark-gold flames and flowed with fiery-red magma.
In fact, this scarlet snake was actually far smaller than the Flame-forged Magma pythons that Tyrion had seen from the surface. However, the strength that flowed from this one was far greater. Tyrion felt much more power emanating from it than from even that grey-clothed Elder.
Is this the King Flame-forged Magma python?! Tyrion felt a jolt in his heart and tasted something bitter on his tongue as he looked upon the smaller scarlet serpent. How could he have forgotten that? The Hellion Aether Flower was such a rare treasure — how could it not have a guardian Dimensional beast?
The ordinary Infernal Aether Lotuses floating above him were already enough to attract all those regular Flame-forged pythons; so, of course, the higher grade Hellion Aether Flower would have something guarding it.
Based on the way this particular Flame-forged python was acting, Tyrion guessed that it was as strong as a Middle Rank False Fiendgod. He also had to take into account the fact that they were currently inside the magma. Forget about Tyrion, even Aelira wouldn't be able to win in this situation.
"Hissss. Hiss."
The King Flame-forged python savagely stared down at Tyrion with its triangularly arranged pupils. Given that it was so powerful, of course it'd developed a decent amount of intelligence over time. It looked at Tyrion with the mocking expression of a cat watching a mouse. It knew its own strength — it also knew that this little human would certainly become food in its mouth, sooner or later.
Tyrion didn't even twitch as he looked at the Hellion Aether Flower right before his eyes, then back at the King Flame-forged python that was still eyeing him like a predator watching its prey. He decisively grounded his teeth and retreated.
At his current level, there was no way Tyrion could deal with that King Flame-forged python especially within inside the magma. If he loitered around there any longer, he'd definitely lose his life.
Shhhhhu!
The moment Tyrion moved, something primal flashed through the eyes of the King Flame-forged python. With a twitch of its tail, a frightening Genetic energy swept out. Tyrion sensed the magma around him bear down even harder than before, slowing him down, little by little, until he came to a full stop.
The King Flame-forged python could actually control the magma with such precision.
Cold sweat beaded on Tyrion's forehead as the Hellfire Blackflame continued to protect his body from within. He slowly raised his eyes to see the King Flame-forged python tearing through the magma towards him like a scarlet ray of light.
"Damn it!"
Tyrion's expression changed and his Genetic energy surged as he prepared to meet the threat.
But right before Tyrion could act, something jolted him from within his body. A clear and resonant cry sounded from him.
"ROOOAR!!!"
The pride, honor, and power carried in that roar were as clear as day.
The King Flame-forged python immediately braked on its charge as the cunning pupils were overwhelmed with shock and despair. It looked as if it'd seen something truly terrifying.
Rustle!
The King Flame-forged python twisted its body, turned, and fled.
"BOOM!"
As it turned to flee, a massive shadow with massive wings surged forwards violently like a titan as it grabbed the tail of the dimensional beast.
"Chiii! Chii!"
The King Flame-forged python desperately struggled against the attack as it wailed mournfully.
The figure ignored the cries of the serpent. Then, it opened its mouth and inhaled. The snake writhed in panic. However, it couldn't even struggle much and was instantly devoured by the abyssal mouth.
A few seconds later, Tyrion huffed and puffed as though every cell in his body had been drained.
This time, he had activated everything within his arsenal including the ultimate stage of True Blood Explosion technique, True dragon bloodline, Thunder cells, and final form of his Nine Sky Thunder blade,
Tyrion was dumbfounded the form had drained almost half of his Fiendgod cells in just three seconds!
However, the energy from consuming the Fiendgod dimensional beast was being refined to awaken his dried up Fiendgod cells.
Suddenly he feld something in his throat and coughed it up immediately.
As Tyrion observed the lump of black flames with wide eyes, the flames dispersed and revealed a palm-sized medal that looked like it'd been forged in silver. The surface of the silver medal flickered with a strange energy ripple and had been engraved with the image of a soaring white dragon.
What's this? Tyrion was astonished. He examined the medal and its carving of the dragon, but didn't sense anything off about it. He frowned as he muttered to himself and stowed it away.
Based on the design of the white dragon, this should've been something left behind by the White Dragon Overlord. But why was it inside the King Flame-forged python?
Tyrion had no idea how to use the silver medal, so he stowed it away and looked back towards the Hellion Aether Flower. This time, he swam over without meeting any obstacles and gingerly landed on the petals of the rainbow-coloured lotus.
At the center of the lotus surged a strand of pure Fire Genetic energy. And inside this strand floated a rainbow-coloured lotus seed the size of an infant's fist.
Over time, this rainbow-coloured lotus seed had slowly turned glossy as it gathered the Fire Genetic energy in the area. Even now, it constantly emanated an extremely pure fire-attributed Genetic energy.
Now, his Black fire cell reacted even more frantically.
Treasures like these — brimming with rich Fire Genetic energy — were exactly what it needed the most.
Tyrion didn't delay and touched the multicolored lotus-shaped seed floating between the petals.
"RUMBLE!!!". "RUMBLE!!!".
