I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 398: Chapter 350: Demon King Showdown, Both Defeated

”Boom——!!”

The several-meter-thick rock layer instantly shattered under this tremendous force, debris mixed with scalding magma pouring down like a torrential rain.

The Magma Demon King did not pause at all, continuing its upward surge, smashing through dozens of meters of rock layer before finally bursting into the magma lake above.

The lake’s thick and boiling golden-red waves wrapped around it, but to the Magma Demon King, this was nothing. It swung its massive body, moving straight upwards, surrounded by a crimson blaze, like a rising rocket. Any demon swimming in the lake, whether Tier Five Flame Demon or Tier Six Magma Beast, was easily crushed if too slow to dodge, turning into a wisp of smoke in the magma.

Soon, the Magma Demon King surfaced from the lakebed, charging upward mightily, breaking the lake surface with its massive body and soaring through the air, landing heavily on the black stone ground on the shore.

Upon landing, it immediately picked up a familiar scent, moving rapidly not far away.

The Magma Demon King’s magma-burning eyes instantly locked onto the direction of the scent’s origin. It strode forward, sprinting furiously, its speed astounding, like a moving shadow. Every step caused the earth to tremble violently, the hard rocky ground left with gigantic smoking footprints.

Everything along its path was ruthlessly destroyed; hills smashed to pieces, rocks turned to dust, paving a path of destruction.

Before long, it saw a silhouette ahead—a winged Black Flame Demon, swiftly flying with a gem.

”Roar——!!!”

The Magma Demon King’s roar was like thunder from the earth’s core, shaking the heavens and the earth.

With this roar, the ground beneath its feet collapsed suddenly, the thousand-meter diameter surface shattering like glass. Numerous columns of magma shot up from the cracks, piercing the clouds, dyeing the sky crimson.

Where the magma columns passed, the air sizzled and cracked, even space rippled with distortions, as if the entire world was being torn apart by this power.

Yet the Black Flame Demon darted like a black lightning, deftly weaving through the dense magma columns.

Its wings flapped rapidly, creating afterimages, sometimes skimming past spewing magma, its black wingtips brushing the column edges, setting off sparks; sometimes diving quickly, slipping through gaps between columns, the rocks below just scorched into a glassy state, but its figure was already a hundred meters away.

Each evasive maneuver was fraught with danger, seemingly moments from being engulfed by a column, yet always escaping by a hair’s breadth, like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Seeing this, the Magma Demon King’s fury erupted entirely, the fiery blaze in its eye sockets raging.

It raised a giant claw fiercely, waving towards the sky, as countless burning magma shards seemed to gain life, turning into an overwhelming meteor fire rain, descending with sharp piercing whistles.

The fire rain was dense enough to nearly obscure the sky, each shard carrying terrifying heat, creating tens of meters deep craters upon impact, black smoke billowing, forming a domain of destruction.

However, the Black Flame Demon remained as elusive as a ghost.

It weaved through the fire rain, its body sometimes curling into a ball, dodging the straight-on attack of fire shards; sometimes spreading its wings wide like a black leaf, using air currents to drift sideways, letting several fire shards graze past, crashing on the ground behind, triggering fierce explosions.

More impressively, while dodging, it kept accelerating, gradually widening the distance from the Magma Demon King.

The Magma Demon King roared in rage, charging forward with its limbs.

This chase lasted for hours, disturbing half of the Infernal Demon Sea—the demons along the way crouched in fright, trembling as they watched the moving wave of destruction; the human soldiers at the defense line grasped their weapons tightly, faces full of fear as they looked at the far-off red glow in the sky, even breathing cautiously.

Both demons and humans were overwhelmingly intimidated by the Magma Demon King’s rampage; no one dared approach this fire-engulfed zone.

Before long

A towering Flame Mountain appeared on the horizon, its eternally burning flames flaring in the wind like flag.
