245: Chapter 238 Sudden 245: Chapter 238 Sudden In the Fire Pool.
Su Chen’s thoughts became hazier and hazier, seeming to have fallen into a mysterious state, as if he had passed out.
However, unlike passing out, the spell of True Fire Body Refinement kept operating.
He continued devouring and absorbing the True Fire, and his physical strength was also rapidly increasing.
At the same time, Gu Yuan was on her way to the Spiritual Source Cave.
“Why is this cave so deep?” Gu Yuan walked and walked, and beneath her veil, a face of perfect beauty wore expressions of incomprehension, perplexity, and seriousness—especially as the further she went, the more she could feel an indistinct, pulsating heat.
She had come to understand that the Spiritual Source Cave was no simple matter, very much so and absolutely incomparable to the Scarlet Origin Cave.
She quickened her pace.
She had reached the end, the area in front of the ancient, immortal, and time-worn Fire Pool.
She widened her beautiful eyes, looking down at her feet, at her surroundings, straight ahead!!!
The rolling flames within the Fire Pool, the massive stone slabs etched with ancient characters, and everything else, all told her that this place was truly no simple matter, it might even be a treasure trove.
But Gu Yuan was not in the mood to care about these things; she was searching for traces of Su Chen.
Why, having reached the end, couldn’t she see Su Chen?
“Su Chen!” Gu Yuan shouted loudly, her voice filled with urgency and worry.
At that moment, Su Chen was inside the Fire Pool, trapped in that mysterious state, how could he possibly hear Gu Yuan’s voice?
“Su Chen, Su Chen, Su Chen, come out!” Gu Yuan became increasingly anxious, her voice grew louder and louder, but the result was obvious, there was no response.
After calling out many times, Gu Yuan seemed to grow tired, biting her lips tightly, with traces of tears in her beautiful eyes.
Although she didn’t want to believe it, it seemed as if Su Chen had indeed vanished or maybe had died, without leaving any trace of his body.
“How could this be?” Gu Yuan murmured, feeling very choked up.
“No, I believe you are not dead, after all, you are so miraculous!” After a silence that lasted hundreds of breaths, suddenly, Gu Yuan took a deep breath, her emotions undergoing a huge fluctuation.
The previous despair turned back into determination.
She looked towards the Fire Pool twenty meters away in front of her.
“If you’re still alive, the only possibility is that you’re in the Fire Pool!” Gu Yuan said to herself with certainty.
Had anyone else heard her muttering, they would probably scoff absurdly.
How could someone be in the Fire Pool?
How could anyone be in the searing, untouchable flow of flames?
What a ridiculous joke?
But the truth was that Gu Yuan had guessed correctly.
Gu Yuan’s line of thought was very simple, and because it was simple, her reasoning was straightforward — having observed every other accessible part of the Spiritual Source Cave without any sign of Su Chen, the only place that remained unseen was the inside of the Fire Pool.
Therefore, if Su Chen was not dead, he had to be in the Fire Pool.
Now with a firm hypothesis, Gu Yuan unconsciously moved closer to the Fire Pool.
But she had only moved a few meters.
And she couldn’t bear it any longer!
She took a deep breath and forcefully circulated her Mysterious Qi to resist the searing heat with its potency…
She inched a few meters closer.
And it was those few meters.
A vague figure, at the center point of the flow of flames inside the Fire Pool.
If not Su Chen, then who could it be?
“Su Chen, is it really you?” Gu Yuan shouted loudly, extremely excited.
Unfortunately, Su Chen did not respond, nor did he move; not a single twitch.
However, Gu Yuan was certain that Su Chen was not dead. Googlᴇ search novel✶fire.net
If he had died, he would have been burned to nothingness by those terrifying flames long ago.
How could he remain unharmed at the center of the Fire Pool?
“You’re really a madman; why would you go into the pool?” Gu Yuan was somewhat furious, but at the same time, she cried tears of joy.
Su Chen had not died, truly had not died.
Not only had he not died, but he also stood within the Fire Pool like a Demon God.
“I’ll just wait for you here…” Gu Yuan thought for a moment and took a few steps back, as the pressure from the Fire Pool was simply too overwhelming for her.
She was much more at ease now.
This man who could work miracles indeed would not die.
“Standing unharmed inside the Fire Pool, if others saw this scene, they would surely think it’s a dream, right?” Gu Yuan murmured to herself, feeling a sense of pride and triumph.
The scene before her was like a secret shared between her and Su Chen.
Time continued to pass.
Gu Yuan kept staring at Su Chen, staring intently…
From the beginning, when she couldn’t see clearly, to later, when she could see more clearly, it seemed that the flames in the Fire Pool were gradually disappearing, or rather, being absorbed by Su Chen.
He can absorb flames?” Gu Yuan was practically going insane.
When she confirmed that the disappearing flames in the Fire Pool were being absorbed by Su Chen, the only thought in her mind was —— Is Su Chen even human?!
“The flames in the Fire Pool seem to be getting less and less until they are completely absorbed…” After who knows how long, Gu Yuan became a little nervous and expectant, as Su Chen’s form had now been fully revealed.
Beneath the veil, Gu Yuan’s beautiful face blushed beet-red.
As Su Chen was stark~~naked~~.
For a woman like her who had never dated nor had intimate contact with the opposite sex, you can imagine the shock she felt at the sight of a man, stark~~naked~~ right before her eyes!
Her bashful body went weak.
The only consolation for her was that Su Chen seemed to be unconscious for the moment and probably did not realize that she had seen his whole body.
“Should I quickly leave now?” Gu Yuan thought that if she left now, Su Chen probably wouldn’t know she had seen his entire body.
Having made up her mind, she turned to leave.
But just at that moment, “Ahhhh…” All of a sudden, Su Chen let out a roar, a mad roar.
The True Fire flames within the Fire Pool had been completely absorbed by him!!!
But because of this, in a dazed and muddled state, he felt like he was about to explode, to burst apart…
He had absorbed so much True Fire, and although the True Fire Body Refinement meant he would not die but instead had his physical strength increased by fifty or sixty times, making him stronger than a humanoid weapon, there were not no side effects…
Fire Poison was the side effect.
All fire contains Fire Poison, whether it’s True Fire or ordinary fire.
Su Chen had forcefully absorbed an entire pool of True Fire, causing the Fire Poison within his body to gather crazily, almost driving him to demonic deviation and an explosive death.
In fact, this was also Su Chen’s own fault for not preparing in advance.
The common knowledge that fire contains Fire Poison is something that every Martial Cultivator knows.
If Su Chen had been prepared, he simply needed to find a way to refine some Cold Condensing Pills to counteract the Fire Poison and take them in advance, then there would have been no issues.
But now, it was too late for anything, especially since Su Chen was still in an unconscious state.
