Chapter 360 The Dragon King's Plan.
"Hey! You… what do you mean, senior?"
Ma Hongjun clenched his fists upon hearing this.
Just moments before, he had intended to question the Fire Dragon King, and had even spoken, when he suddenly realized the Fire Dragon King's strength and status.
So, the next second, he swallowed back his words. Then, using a respectful tone, he cupped his hands to the Fire Dragon King.
"Heh, you're quite something…"
The Fire Dragon King, seeing Ma Hongjun's reaction, wore a half-smile, and after glancing at him…
"Let me test your potential."
The Fire Dragon King raised his hand again, and the surrounding fire elemental energy surged towards them. In less than a breath, this energy completely enveloped Ma Hongjun's body.
Flames swirled around him; Ma Hongjun had no way to resist. His body, enveloped in the energy's light, was slowly pulled to his feet. Then, the energy changed.
The light emanating from the energy gradually brightened, and even the surrounding fire elements and the lava at the volcano erupted in a frenzy.
Furthermore, the fire-elemental true dragon souls nearby also let out roars, vying with the volcano's commotion. Meanwhile, high above Dragon Valley, the three Dragon Kings, who were observing Xuan Mo preparing to bury the second dragon skeleton, were slightly distracted.
"It seems that human brat isn't bad either."
"I must admit, if that human brat is still the same, he has the qualifications to take that step."
These two sentences came from the Wind Dragon King and the Space Dragon King respectively. At this moment, all three Dragon Kings gazed towards the south of the secret realm, in the direction where Ma Hongjun and the Fire Dragon King were located.
A few seemingly random words left everyone bewildered. Then, a calm voice suddenly rang out, "Since that's the case, according to what Mo and the others said, they have many other extremely talented partners. If they can all reach that level, they'll have enough support in the future."
The Earth Dragon King stood with his hands behind his back, his face serious.
"There's no way around it. The path to godhood is difficult, especially with our involvement; Mo's situation will only become more difficult."
The three Dragon Kings looked over and saw the Ice Dragon King had appeared behind them, but they weren't surprised.
"The God Realm... that's true. Once Mo becomes a god with our help, those guys in the God Realm won't say anything, but they'll still make some moves. So having their own faction supporting him is very important."
"And that's not all."
The Ice Dragon King nodded slightly after hearing this.
"Over the past few years, I've come to understand this kid Xuanmo. At first, I asked him to take care of the soul beast race after he became a god, and even if I got a reply, I didn't have much hope. But now that I truly understand Xuanmo… hahaha!"
Seeing the Ice Dragon King's unexpected laughter, the three dragon kings understood his meaning and simultaneously looked towards the Fire Dragon King and Ma Hongjun.
"We need to help him in other ways. After all, helping him is actually helping ourselves."
At this moment, on the Fire Dragon King and Ma Hongjun's side, seeing the dazzling light, a strange glint appeared in the Fire Dragon King's eyes.
"I underestimated him. It seems this kid does indeed have the potential to become a god. Since that's the case…"
A wicked smile appeared on his lips as he glanced at Ma Hongjun, "Kid, don't blame me for being 'ruthless'."
Without waiting to remove the energy enveloping Ma Hongjun, the Fire Dragon King first raised his hand, and a surge of extreme fire energy directly entered the magma of the volcano.
Instantly, "Boom boom boom..."
The already raging volcano not only experienced a rapid increase in temperature but also erupted directly, only to be forcibly suppressed by the Fire Dragon King just before it burst out of the crater.
Three breaths later, the energy around Ma Hongjun was shattered by the Fire Dragon King's wave of his hand.
Immediately afterward, he seemed to open his eyes with some difficulty, looking at the Fire Dragon King in front of him with a slight sense of confusion.
Then, before he could speak,
Ma Hongjun felt himself being lifted up by a force of energy, and then uncontrollably flew towards the top of the crater.
"Holy crap! This is going to kill me!"
Ma Hongjun's mind instantly cleared, and then his martial soul immediately possessed him, a pair of fiery wings spreading out, carrying him high into the air.
"Phew... that was close."
But before Ma Hongjun could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Fire Dragon King, standing beside the crater, had already made another move.
"Kid, the danger isn't over yet, be careful."
The Fire Dragon King reached out, and the dragon soul of a blazing fire dragon immediately appeared beside him, then gave him instructions.
"Go there and fight that kid at the crater. Remember, don't hold back, use your full strength! Go now!"
"Roar..." The Blazing Fire Dragon showed unusual humility in front of the Fire Dragon King. After letting out a soft roar, it was tossed onto the crater by the Fire Dragon King without a word. This sudden attack caught Ma Hongjun completely off guard.
"Roar—"
The Blazing Fire Dragon immediately unleashed a two-meter-diameter pillar of fire towards Ma Hongjun. The oppressive feeling from its massive body, as well as the scorching heat from the fire pillar and magma, made Ma Hongjun's nerves tense.
For a moment, Ma Hongjun had no time to dodge.
So, he chose to meet it head-on, "Phoenix Blazing Sun Strike!"
Facing an opponent much stronger than himself, Ma Hongjun dared not hold back at all, unleashing his ultimate move from the start. He didn't care that his soul power would be rapidly depleted in the secret realm.
"Boom!"
The two attacks collided mercilessly, instantly causing the magma at the crater to surge continuously.
A year and a half later.
At the crater, waves of soul power rippled.
Accompanied by the crackling sound of burning flames, a flame grazed past, igniting the shawl on Ma Hongjun's shoulder.
"Today is my chance to break through!"
"Boom!"
Ma Hongjun roared, his fiery wings soaring into the sky. His agile figure displayed the results of a year's worth of battles; under the influence of the lava pillars, his energy became even stronger.
Clearly, with Ma Hongjun's current abilities, he could easily crush his past self from a year ago. However, his opponent had changed from the Blazing Fire Dragon to the Lava Armored Dragon lurking in the magma before him.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun did not rush to attack. Instead, the energy gathered around him, and his aura instantly surged.
The next second, a sound like a bottleneck shattering rang out. Then an aura erupted, and a golden light flashed in Ma Hongjun's eyes, "Phoenix Reborn!"
The phantom of the fire phoenix instantly appeared, swooping down towards the lava armored dragon below!
Just at this crucial moment…
