Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 377 Elemental True Energy

```

Nearing the volcano, Xu Ping’an felt an incomparably intense heat.

His skin felt like it was being seared, yet Xu Ping’an seemingly ignored it, frantically absorbing the Fire Essence Power.

As he absorbed more and more of the Fire Essence Power, his resistance to the terrifying temperature grew stronger.

However, Xu Ping’an was unafraid of the heat, the two fellows beside him, on the other hand, were on the verge of crying out for their parents.

The horrific heat was unbearable for them.

Their Physical Bodies simply couldn’t withstand such a horrendous temperature, so they had to use their True Yuan to fend it off.

Yet, as they got closer to the crater, the temperature became more fearsome.

This was consuming their True Yuan at an alarming rate.

But each time they thought of fleeing, Xu Ping’an would give them a glaring look.

This instantly dispelled any thoughts of escape.

After all, the sight of Xu Ping’an splitting the void with a punch was still vivid in their minds.

"Brother Xu, are you really planning to enter the volcano? Let’s go back," Cheng Feng said with a bit of fear as the crater grew closer, attempting to smile it off.

"Don’t be scared, it’s just a volcano, there’s nothing to worry about," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Hearing this, Cheng Feng felt the urge to curse.

However, he could only offer a forced laugh.

Zhu Beihai no longer spoke, realizing by now that as long as Xu Ping’an was alive, they had no chance to escape.

The man in front of them was clearly setting them up.

So, the only thing he could hope for now was for Xu Ping’an to suddenly drop dead.

Xu Ping’an paid no attention to the two men, instead fixing his gaze upon the crater of the volcano.

His Tyrant Heavenly Dragon Elephant Technique was still in operation, and by now the crimson red energy he was absorbing from the air was almost comparable to that from the Fire Essence.

And this was just above the crater—how much more terrifying would it be inside the volcano?

"What exactly is this crimson red energy, and why is it so searing hot? There must be something special inside the volcano," Xu Ping’an mused.

Such rich crimson red energy could not have come from nothing; something extremely powerful must be inside the volcano.

With this thought, Xu Ping’an was even more determined to explore the interior of the volcano.

"Let’s go," Xu Ping’an commanded abruptly.

The next moment, he took the two Cultivators from the Ghostly Nether Sect and rushed into the volcano.

The two Ghostly Nether Sect Cultivators felt like crying, but at this point, they had no other choice.

They could only run their True Yuan desperately to resist the horrific searing heat.

Upon entering the volcano, aside from the even more terrifying temperature,

Xu Ping’an also felt a ferocious roar of the earth, as if a horrific beast was bellowing within the volcano.

This dreadful roar made Zhu Beihai and Cheng Feng’s scalps tingle.

Xu Ping’an, too, was astonished.

He knew that it was not some beast, but the magma within the volcano that was roaring.

Upon entering the interior of the volcano, Xu Ping’an truly realized the volcano’s terror.

Not to mention anything else, the diameter of the crater alone was almost ten thousand meters.

And inside the volcano, it was all surging magma.

At first glance, it looked like a sea of magma, continuously churning.

In the Spirit Realm, Xu Ping’an had seen larger volcanoes, but the one in front of him was far more terrifying than any he had previously encountered.

Because the energy contained in those volcanoes was nothing compared to this one.

At the base of this volcano, there seemed to be an immense energy, capable of destroying heaven and earth, easily annihilating a vast city.

Xu Ping’an could imagine that if this volcano were to erupt, the entire Zone Four would be left without a single piece of unscathed land.

Xu Ping’an was awestruck, while Zhu Beihai and the other man were filled with fear.

They felt like the volcano could erupt at any moment.

Such a massive volcano, if it erupted, even a Ninth Rank Expert would struggle to survive.

"Let’s go, check around for any Fire Essence Veins," Xu Ping’an said.

```

The next moment, he began to descend along the volcanic mountainside in search of something.

The two Ghostly Nether Sect cultivators, on the other hand, looked extremely embarrassed, gritting their teeth as they followed Xu Ping’an.

A hundred meters, five hundred meters, a thousand meters.

When they reached a depth of a thousand meters within the volcano, the two Ghostly Nether Sect cultivators were struggling to hold on.

The temperature here had reached a terrifying level.

Basically, for every breath they took, they had to expend ten thousand strands of True Yuan.

They had already consumed many elixirs, and their supply was rapidly dwindling.

Within less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, even if they weren’t swallowed by the surging waves of magma below, they would be burned alive by the depletion of their True Yuan.

However, when they looked at Xu Ping’an, they realized that he wasn’t using any True Yuan at all.

He was surrounded by a strong red glow, completely unaffected by the horrifying temperatures.

This nearly drove them to despair; they had hoped Xu Ping’an would give in before them, but now it seemed that they would be burned to ashes while this fellow would remain perfectly fine.

Xu Ping’an didn’t pay any attention to the two of them as he was incredibly surprised at the moment.

He discovered that the crimson red energy permeating the air around him was much more concentrated than the energy from the Fire Essence.

And it seemed that this energy was all emanating from the magma below.

"What exactly is this energy? Could it be that the source of this energy is within this magma?" Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

At that moment, he felt an urge to dive into the magma to find out the truth.

"Senior Cang Xue, do you know what this fiery red energy is?" Xu Ping’an asked for Cang Xue’s help, having no other choice.

Cang Xue had been in closed-door cultivation all this time, but now, hearing Xu Ping’an’s question, she finally extended her Soul Power from the Golden Radiance Ring.

"Huh, are you in the first layer of the Heavenly Star Palace?" Cang Xue’s voice sounded.

"Yes, senior, do you know the origin of this energy?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.

From Cang Xue’s tone, it seemed she might know where this fiery red energy came from.

"This is Elemental True Energy, and the crimson red one is Fire Attributed True Energy," Cang Xue replied.

"Elemental True Energy? What kind of energy is that?" Xu Ping’an asked, puzzled.

"Elemental True Energy is actually like Spiritual Power, it’s a special kind of energy, but True Energy can only be absorbed by Physical Cultivation Techniques. I see that both your spleen and heart have absorbed Elemental True Energy, so it seems you have cultivated an Ancient Physical Cultivation Technique," Cang Xue said.

"Yes, I have cultivated an Ancient Physical Cultivation Technique, the Tyrant Heavenly Dragon Elephant Technique," Xu Ping’an didn’t hide the truth.

"So, it’s the Tyrant Heavenly Dragon Elephant Technique. This technique was also extremely powerful in Ancient Times, ranking within the top three. You really have quite the fortune. You must have developed Gang Energy by now," Cang Xue continued.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

"Then you’d better be careful. The path of Ancient Body Cultivation was also severed, and it’s even crueler than that of Spiritual Cultivation; it’s a very thorough cut-off. If you insist on following this path, once you cultivate to a certain extent, Heavenly Punishment will definitely descend upon you," Cang Xue warned.

Xu Ping’an was startled.

Heavenly Punishment?

That would mean being rejected by heaven and earth.

No wonder he rarely saw anyone practicing Body Cultivation; it was forbidden by heaven and earth.

But why was it forbidden?

And what did it mean for Heavenly Star Daoist to leave these Elemental True Energies here?

Was it to pass on the way of Ancient Body Cultivation?

Could it be that Heavenly Star Daoist practiced Body Cultivation?

Thinking of this, Xu Ping’an was immediately taken aback.

Perhaps it really was possible that Heavenly Star Daoist pursued the path of Body Cultivation.

"Senior, can you tell if there’s any treasure beneath this magma? Why is the Elemental True Energy here so rich?" Xu Ping’an inquired.

After Xu Ping’an’s words, there wasn’t an immediate response.

After a moment, Cang Xue replied, "You’re lucky, young man. The thing below is extremely extraordinary. You can go down and take a look. If you manage to obtain it, not only will your heart be able to quickly complete evolution, but your Niwan Palace will also be further strengthened, and significantly so."

Xu Ping’an was taken aback.

To strengthen the Niwan Palace?

At that moment, Xu Ping’an felt a strong interest in the treasure below.

Looking at the magma below, Xu Ping’an immediately made up his mind: he was going to descend.
