Chapter 1090: Chapter 1092: The Opposite Shore_1 Chapter 1090: Chapter 1092: The Opposite Shore_1 The magma surged beneath the Primordial Sea, and Song Jian’s perception was suppressed to its limits, only allowing him to see about two to three ters around him. Subrged in the magma, Song Jian was losing over a hundred Vitality Points per second, and it was only due to his exceptional resistance to fire that he could endure this. A player of ordinary second-tier Combat Power would probably not last more than ten seconds before perishing. According to the rate at which Song Jian was losing health, he could hold on for at least five minutes before succumbing to fatal injuries.
Only after actively entering the magma did Song Jian realize that beneath the Primordial Sea were not just the Fla King but also countless lava monsters resembling octopuses, large and small. These magma olms ranged from level sixty to eighty and had six tentacles akin to those of the Fla King’s arms. Their tentacles were soft like whips yet could instantly solidify into structures as sharp as bone blades, slashing and cutting at their targets.
Song Jian was caught by a level sixty magma olm, and nearby, two other level sixty magma olms were rapidly closing in on him.
Struggling to exert much force in the magma, Song Jian could only hold onto the magma olm’s tentacle with his left hand while swinging the Sky-breaking Sword fiercely with his right, severing it. At the sa ti, he had a thought and a clone identical to himself appeared in the magma, unleashing the Thousand Swords Art upon the other two approaching magma olms.
Although Song Jian’s Sword Shadow Clone was at the fourth level, it was not capable of defeating two sixty-level monsters. Song Jian only hoped it could delay them for a few seconds. Additionally, the Sword Shadow Clone took even greater damage from the magma, losing seven to eight hundred Vitality Points each ti. With its health, it could only last about thirty seconds.
Song Jian had only hacked a few tis before the magma olm binding him let out a shriek, swiftly retracting three of its tentacles. In the magma, strands of dark red blood flowed out, which upon contact with the magma turned to gas and bubbled up to the surface.
The sa magma olm seed to have sustained severe injuries, struggling and thrashing in the magma. Monts later, it actively discarded the injured tentacle, akin to a lizard shedding its tail.
Song Jian imdiately realized that, after all, the magma olms were still considered biological creatures, unlike the Fla King. The Fla King had evolved into a half-flesh, half-elental creature, actually possessing more elental structure than flesh in its body. If it were to fully transform into an elental creature, Song Jian guessed that it could break through the 120-level barrier, reaching the peak of third-tier Combat Power and entering the Legendary Realm.
Now, still being of flesh and blood, the magma olms were highly resistant to fire and could survive in the magma. However, once injured, the flowing blood still suffered damage from the magma.
The magma olm, which had deliberately severed one of its tentacles, held a deep wariness of Song Jian, or more precisely, of the Sky-breaking Sword in Song Jian’s hand, which had penetrated its defenses. After swimming slowly in front of Song Jian for two seconds, it turned and fled toward the distance, clearly not intending to engage in a fight to the death with Song Jian any further.
As Song Jian watched the retreating figure of the magma olm, a wave of inexplicable emotion surged inside him. He felt that this magma olm seed to possess intelligence not inferior to that of an average human. Usually, monsters have no concept of fleeing; a fight ans a fight to the death, with retreat not an option. Only so powerful bosses or humanoid monsters would trigger an escape chanism when their Vitality Points dropped below ten percent. However, a monster that could assess the strength of its opponent and swiftly escape early in the fight, like this one, was sothing Song Jian had seldom encountered.
On the other hand, the two magma olms on the other side seed quite different from the one facing Song Jian. Although the Shadow Clone’s Thousand Swords Art was cast by only one, the dozens of Spirit Swords slashing down inflicted significant injuries on several of the olms’ tentacles. Boiling steam erupted en masse, and damage numbers popped up above the two magma olms’ heads, indicating that the injuries sustained in the magma dealt even more damage than the Thousand Swords Art from the clone.
But these two magma olms did not flee; instead, they charged desperately at the Sword Shadow Clone, fighting furiously and causing the surrounding magma to churn continuously.
Just then, Song Jian suddenly spotted a blurry shadow swiftly rushing toward him from a distance. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a tentacle of the Fla King. Clearly, after his fall into the Primordial Sea, the Fla King had not ceased its attack; inside the Primordial Sea was where the Fla King truly dominated.
Song Jian’s heart sank. Once caught by the tentacle, a continuous stream of them would follow. The tentacles of the Fla King were not to be compared with those of a lava gno; a single one was equivalent to a boss at the overlord level.
Hum~
With a soft buzz, the Fla Light Wings fluttered, and Song Jian’s figure shot upward like an arrow. He suddenly realized that in the magma, the Fla Light Wings seed to be able to absorb the fiery energy from the magma, nearly doubling his speed. This was a delightful surprise for Song Jian.
To a third party observer, it would appear as if Song Jian had been pulled into the Primordial Sea and then, after a dozen seconds or so, burst forth at even greater speed.
By now, Song Jian was less than ten ters away from the opposite shore. With the boost from his Fla Light Wings doubling his speed, he leaped onto the rocks on the other side in the blink of an eye, snatching the robot Nafiboja’s head along the way and dashing forward without looking back.
Behind him, “rumbling” noises followed as dozens of the Fla King’s tentacles viciously smashed into the rock wall, causing debris to fly and the ground to fracture with huge cracks everywhere as if the earth itself was splitting.
As if there was so prohibition, once Song Jian had moved away from the Primordial Sea, the Fla King instantly lost interest in him, roaring and bellowing in the Primordial Sea, its nurous arms flailing wildly in the air, a terrifying sight to behold.
Song Jian looked back with a hint of regret. This was a level one hundred and twenty, third-tier peak King Level BOSS. If he could take it down, Song Jian was certain there was a high chance of obtaining epic equipnt, and possibly not just one piece but also Legendary Level equipnt, second only to divine artifacts. The thought of this made Song Jian itch with desire; after all, he had defeated King Level BOSSes before.
“It’s a pity that the Fla King is too powerful, and the Primordial Sea is its lair. Battling it here is truly unwise. Even if I wanted to hunt it, I would have to find a way to lure it out of the Primordial Sea…” Song Jian wore a look of regret, shook his head, and quickly ran off into the distance.
“You actually did it…” The robot Nafiboja’s head was caved in significantly, and sparks were continuously flying out from so connections in the skull. Even the simulated skin on its face was torn off a small piece, it seed that the throw from Song Jian earlier had also caused it considerable damage, but Nafiboja could accept all of this, since it had tried more than three hundred tis without a single success in crossing the Primordial Sea.
“Rember to have the mission reward ready, we should be close to the edge of the Scorching Gorge by now…” Song Jian said with a smile as he glanced at Nafiboja’s chanical head and walked towards the front.
