Chapter 316: 317 Hellfire Upgrade
Translator: 549690339
Li Xiaobai’s face darkened as he kicked it into the water; that damn Pudong Rooster started causing trouble the moment it revived, getting a little inflated with itself.
Although you can’t die, you can’t act cockier than us.
“Cluck cluck, kid, you dare to sneak attack the great me!”
Ji Wuqing’s eyes blazed as he leaped at Li Xiaobai. After dying a few times, it felt its strength had surged and that it could compete with the strongest, but after taking a beating from Li Xiaobai, it accepted reality.
It was still that same insignificant chicken.
“Cluck cluck, kid, where is this place, and what exactly is that monster underwater?”
Ji Wuqing asked, still somewhat intimidated by the monster below. It had stayed inside the other’s body, dying without even opening its eyes; it was frighteningly strong.
But it had an undying body, so it wasn’t that fearful.
“Below is a boss of the Sea Clan, with an unfathomable cultivation level. That Great Crossing Realm Elder was obliterated by him with a single move,”
Li Xiaobai lit a cigarette and said nonchalantly.
“Sss! That thing is intense!”
Ji Wuqing gasped in shock. If it could take out someone from the Mahayana Realm in one strike, could it be an Immortal?
“Let’s observe the situation. I’ve made a deal with him. Once the deal is done, we’ll get out of this small world and take our revenge!”
A fierce look flashed through Li Xiaobai’s eyes. The Three Sects had messed with him, and he couldn’t put up with it.
“Cluck cluck, kid, I support you, and don’t forget about Ergouzi. We must teach him a lesson!”
The small world was very tranquil and the areas they could move around in were limited. Aside from the unfathomable lake, there was nothing else.
One man and one chicken quietly waited on the shore.
Li Xiaobai knew that when the monster appeared again, his Hellfire could potentially advance by several levels.
Who knows how much time had passed when a soft exclamation suddenly came from under the water.
“How come this chicken hasn’t died?”
“Cluck cluck, you’re the chicken, your whole family are chickens!”Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m
Ji Wuqing burst into a fit of rage, instinctively retorting. It insisted it was a Phoenix and was very averse to the word “chicken.”
But upon seeing the blood-red giant tongue flickering above the water, it shut up. Although it was undying, no one wanted to be inexplicably swallowed up.
“Heh, little thing, you’ve got some skill surviving inside of me—one has to say, you’ve got something. But you’re too weak. I disdain to kill you, off you go.”
The Sea Clan boss at the bottom of the lake spoke dismissively, not taking Ji Wuqing seriously at all.
“Cluck cluck, you dare talk about killing the great me? Here’s my neck, if you’re not convinced, come chop it off!”
Ji Wuqing was furiously cursing, jumping mad.
“I never kill no-name individuals. Scram.”
The Sea Clan boss remained indifferent, knowing the designation of the troublesome chicken was somewhat peculiar, being able to die and revive—hence, not wanting to entangle itself with it.
Ji Wuqing’s lungs were about to explode in anger, gearing up for an outburst, when Li Xiaobai slammed it into the water with a dunk. That guy was getting too inflated and needed to cool off.
“Boss, is the flame upgraded yet?”
Li Xiaobai asked with a smile.
“Simply having it assimilate one in a billionth of the Spiritual Power inside of me, it’s reached a certain degree of growth already,”
said the Sea Clan boss at the lake’s bottom nonchalantly.
“Actually, I think it might still have room to evolve further.”
Li Xiaobai said dryly.
“Hehe, that’s enough. My cultivation strength is simply too ferocious. If I were to use one two-hundred-millionth of it, this flame would immediately be extinguished,”
the underwater boss spoke with the same calm tone.
Li Xiaobai always felt the other party was subtly showing off, but the bragging was very stiff and totally unconvincing. If you’re really that amazing, why can’t you take me down?
“So, hand over the money and you’ll get the flame. Besides those high-grade elixirs you consumed, I also want that long thing in your mouth!”
The Sea Clan cultivator said, having noticed the Huazi in Li Xiaobai’s mouth which had been drawing in and exhaling clouds of smoke, a sight it had never seen before in its life. Moreover, when the drifting smoke dissipated into the water, it faintly felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
This was truly terrifying. With a cultivation level as high as its own, it was nearly invincible. Anything that could induce enlightenment in it was definitely an extraordinary item.
“No problem.”
Li Xiaobai didn’t mind; a single pack of Huazi wasn’t expensive.
He casually took out a bunch of precious medicinal herbs and a pack of Huazi, tossing them into the water. A crimson tongue wrapped around them and disappeared back into the undersea world.
At the same time, a pitch-black flame, shaped like a lotus, rose slowly from the water and floated toward the shore.
Li Xiaobai’s eyes lit up. He reached out to touch it, and the black lotus instantly dispersed, transforming into strands of flame that melded into Li Xiaobai’s body.
System panel values skyrocketed:

[Hellfire (Divine Level Skill): Current flame burning range: 0% (zero percent) upgradable.]
He summoned Hellfire at will, his entire body instantly engulfed in pitch-black flames, darkening the surrounding light. Looking at his newfound majesty, Li Xiaobai felt extremely pleased.
This underwater boss was pretty reliable. In one go, it fully fueled his body with fire.
With the flames covering his body, the next step was to expand outward. He still needed to burn Heaven and Earth Treasures to increase the range. If he guessed correctly, once the flames developed fully, he would conjure a conflagration that could turn the whole land to scorched earth in an instant.
The thought alone was exhilarating.
“Giggle, kid, you look so cool like that. I want it too!”
Ji Wuqing ran over, wanting to touch the Hellfire and catch a spark. The water on her body evaporated instantly, and her chicken form turned to charcoal in the blink of an eye.
[Pet: Pudong Rooster (Death count: 6 times).]
Li Xiaobai was speechless. The power of Hellfire was ridiculously strong, incinerating anything in an instant.
“Kid, here’s a piece of advice for you; your flames are a bit peculiar. They burn the Spiritual Power within a cultivator’s body. If you use Spiritual Power to resist the flames and your cultivation level is strong enough, you could withstand the flames for a short time. However, your Hellfire burns everything, and even though you’re the master, you should beware of the danger of playing with fire and getting burned,”
the underwater monster boss continued, realizing through today’s series of events that the young man ashore harbored an incredible secret. Any of the revelations he unknowingly displayed were earth-shattering. Even the boss itself was somewhat tempted.
The reason it didn’t allow the flames to continue devouring its Spiritual Power was that it found the flames’ consumption rate increasing. If left unchecked, the problem would become quite severe later on.
And that Huazi… it could actually lead to enlightenment.
If it could obtain these things, ascending to the Upper Realm would merely be a matter of time. In the meantime, it certainly didn’t wish any harm upon Li Xiaobai.
