My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Chapter 408 Shield of Ten Thousand Flames, Lava Healing

The scheme failed and instead injured the fire toad.

Venerable Qianyan had not expected that his opponent would be so proficient in lightning magic, with astonishing power.

But the surprise was only momentary. Venerable Qianyan quickly calmed down. After all, he was a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator who had experienced countless trials and tribulations, so he naturally had extraordinary composure and adaptability.

He had a thought in his mind.

Almost instantly, the dense flames rapidly condensed, transforming into shimmering fire shields that appeared before him, completely blocking Chu Lengyu's lightning attacks.

Although the lightning bolts were incredibly powerful, they couldn't get even a fraction of a second closer to Venerable Qianyan thanks to the shield of flames, so they posed no threat whatsoever.

Lightning and fire are incompatible. Every time lightning strikes, it shatters a shield of fire. However, these shields seem to be endless. As soon as one is shattered, a new shield is formed.

Although Chu Lengyu's lightning strike was fierce, it was not very effective against such a defense.

However, just as the battle reached this stalemate, suddenly, several even thicker bolts of lightning shot down from the sky and joined the attack.

These lightning bolts, like the wrathful swords of the gods, struck fiercely at Venerable Qianyan with earth-shattering force.

With each flash, a small section of the fire shield would be shattered by its immense power, and the sound of explosions was incessant.

Venerable Qianyan's gaze was solemn as he watched the lightning relentlessly bombarding him, secretly making calculations in his mind.

He decisively ordered the fire toad to jump into the lava pool at the core of the Soul Burning Purgatory Array.

Once inside, the fire toad began to recover rapidly, taking advantage of the formation and the terrain.

Chu Lengyu hovered in mid-air, holding a magical artifact that looked like an inkstone, but it was actually a concentrated pool of lightning, with lightning flowing around it and radiating an astonishing aura.

She looked coldly at Venerable Qianyan below, showing no impatience whatsoever.

Because she knew that the other party was also a difficult character and would probably be hard to defeat in a short time, she was not in a hurry.

She had her own reasons for impersonating "Junior Sister Yu".

Firstly, she never displayed lightning magic in the Great Xia World, which is quite different and not easily associated with it.

Secondly, it was because the rewards she received in her diary were varied and numerous, among which one lightning-type magic weapon was exceptionally remarkable, providing strong support for her to disguise herself as having a lightning spiritual root.

Through this encounter, Venerable Qianyan has gained a clear understanding of his enemy's strength.

This masked female cultivator is skilled in lightning magic and has also refined a high-level exotic fire. Her aura fluctuations have even reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

A deep sense of apprehension welled up in his heart.

A ninth-tier Earth Immortal, though not as powerful as a Celestial Immortal, is still above all other cultivators.

He is at the eighth level of tribulation and rarely appears in order to avoid the legendary three calamities and five tribulations.

At the seventh level of Mahayana cultivation, one can control a region and become a ruler-like being.

In his past life, the sixth-tier Nascent Soul cultivator was the strongest he had ever seen.

Venerable Qianyan himself had mediocre talent, so he relied more on the power of the strange fire.

However, even though he cultivated to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm with the help of the strange fire, he still felt a clear bottleneck, making it difficult for him to make any further progress.

He vaguely realized that he would probably only reach the fifth-level Nascent Soul realm in his life.

However, the strange female cultivator before him stirred up a storm in his heart.

She not only reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but was also extremely young.

This was not only something he sensed from her vibrant energy, but also because her eyes and demeanor revealed that she was not very old and had little experience in the world.

Venerable Qianyan remained silent for a moment.

He realized that this female cultivator was probably from a powerful force, or even a prodigy from another world.

Her purpose in infiltrating Skyfire Island this time was clear: she was after her Great Sun Blazing Fire.

This battle was destined to be a fight to the death from the very beginning.

The lightning unleashed a furious barrage, yet failed to budge Venerable Qianyan in the slightest, and its offensive gradually slowed down.

Taking this opportunity, the fire toad finally caught its breath.

It slowly emerged from the lava pool, and its previously gruesome abdominal wounds had largely healed thanks to the nourishment of the lava.

However, the amount of magma in the magma pool has decreased significantly, and it seems that there is only enough magma for it to absorb and recover two or three times at most.

The fiery red aura on the fire toad's body flickered, as if it were brewing something. Suddenly, its abdomen swelled up rapidly, clearly indicating that it was preparing to unleash some powerful supernatural ability in an attempt to retaliate.

Just then, a bolt of white lightning, condensed to its maximum, instantly flew to the top of the fire toad's head and slashed down fiercely.

The fire toad beast looked up at the sky, its eyes blinking rapidly, as if it too had sensed the enormous threat.

Terrified, its belly swelled to about twice its normal size. Without waiting for a moment, it let out a strange cry and spat out a fireball, heading straight for the lightning bolt falling from its head.

The lightning and the fireball met in mid-air, instantly bursting into a dazzling light and a tremendous sound.

The fireball exploded instantly, but the lightning was also blocked.

Chu Lengyu chuckled inwardly; this fire toad was clearly hiding some kind of trick.

However... no matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, they can't compare to the absolute difference in strength.

With a wave of her hand, the colorful butterfly formed from the Seven-Turn Glazed Flame flashed its wings and instantly covered a distance of more than ten feet, about to land on the fire toad's head.

Upon seeing the colorful butterfly, the fire toad's eyes immediately revealed a remarkably human-like look of fear.
