Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 511 Cursed Lava Amulet

Xingluo took the container and quickly flew away from the lava lake. He knew that although he had successfully obtained the blood of the lava beast, this battle consumed a lot of magic power and physical strength. He returned to the Flame Castle, found a safe place, and began to rest and recover.

Through this battle, Xingluo not only obtained the precious blood of the lava beast, but also further improved his combat skills and magic strength. He knew that this lava abyss was full of unknown dangers and challenges, but as long as he relied on his own strength and wisdom, he could obtain more resources and improve himself in this hot land.

Xingluo took out these materials, arranged them in the hotel room, and began the ceremony according to the steps on the stone tablet. He placed the bark of the flame tree on the altar, cut the bark with a fiery gem, and dripped the blood of the lava beast on the bark. Suddenly, a dark force began to gather on the altar, but it was calm soon after. The ceremony was forced to be interrupted. Xingluo frowned slightly. He carefully recalled all the steps. There should be no problem. Could it be that the problem was with the altar? This cursed object can only be performed on the temple altar of the Lost City? Xingluo sighed when he thought of this. Fortunately, he had collected a lot of materials. Even if some were wasted, it didn't matter. He just did it when he thought of it.

Xingluo decided to leave immediately and go to the Lost City again. He quickly packed his luggage and carefully put the remaining materials into his backpack. After leaving the hotel, Xingluo walked firmly towards the teleportation array outside the city. He knew that time was running out and he had to complete the ritual as soon as possible.

After arriving at the teleportation array, Xingluo recited the activation spell, and a dazzling light flashed. His figure instantly disappeared from the Fire Castle and appeared on the edge of the Lost City. The Lost City was still shrouded in a strange silence, and the air was filled with a strong smell of decay, as if the whole city was silently telling the tragedy and despair of the past.

Xingluo walked through the ruins carefully, recalling the route he took last time he explored, and quickly approached the temple. On the way, he kept observing the surroundings, vigilantly avoiding possible traps and lurking dangers. Although the ruins were full of unknown threats, he was extremely determined in his heart, and he knew he had to complete the ritual.

Finally, the temple appeared in his sight. Its damaged outer wall was still engraved with ancient symbols and patterns. Although it had been eroded by time, it still exuded a mysterious and powerful aura. Xingluo pushed open the stone door and walked into the temple. The familiar smell of decay hit him. He walked quickly to the altar in the center, took out the materials in his backpack one by one, and placed them on the altar.

Xingluo followed the steps on the stone tablet and started the ritual again. He placed the bark of the flame tree on the temple altar, cut the bark with a hot gem, and then dripped the blood of the lava beast on the bark. As the power of darkness gathered on the altar again, the air was filled with tension and anticipation.

This time, the dark energy vortex on the altar spun faster and faster, and the powerful force seemed to tear the entire temple apart. Xingluo felt a huge amount of energy pouring into the altar, and the dark power became stronger and stronger. Suddenly, the energy on the altar burst into a dazzling black light, and the entire temple was shrouded in darkness.

Xingluo closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy, and controlled the flow of dark energy. He felt an unprecedented power surging in his body, as if the whole world was under his control. As the last spell was recited, the dark energy on the altar suddenly gathered and condensed into a black curse.

Xingluo opened his eyes and looked at the black cursed object on the altar, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy. He knew that this cursed object would have unparalleled power and could help him cope with various challenges in future adventures. He carefully put the cursed object away and prepared to leave the temple.

At that moment, Xingluo saw a vague figure appear on the altar. It was an ancient priest in a black robe, with an incredible light flashing in his eyes. The priest spoke and said to Xingluo in an ancient language: "You have awakened a forgotten power. This power will be used by you, but it will also bring endless curses."

As soon as he finished speaking, the priest disappeared, and the black flames on the altar gradually died down. Xingluo looked down suddenly and found that he had an extra item in his hand, a cursed amulet engraved with ancient symbols. Although he successfully completed the ritual and obtained the method to make the cursed object, he also knew that this power was not easy to control, because the appearance of the black-robed priest made him feel like something was stuck in his throat.

Carrying this cursed amulet, Xingluo left the Lava Temple without staying for long. He knew that this adventure would most likely change his original intention of developing peacefully in this layer of the abyss, and would also bring him endless tests and dangers. However, in this land engulfed by flames, Xingluo had no fear, because his strength was increasing every day, so he had the confidence to meet any challenge.

Xingluo took a deep breath and put away the lava amulet he had just named. After going through a series of dangers and challenges, he finally succeeded in making the cursed item. He didn't know what kind of disaster this item would bring. However, there were no mistakes in the production process, and the cursed item did not lose control or explode, but in that short period of instability, it still showed several chilling effects.

First of all, the cursed object has a terrible ability - life absorption. Xingluo witnessed the appearance of this effect during the production process. When he first took the cursed object in his hand, a curious abyss creature suddenly became weak and finally collapsed to the ground, and his life quickly passed away. The cursed object seemed to have its own life, constantly absorbing the life energy of the surrounding creatures and converting it into the power of the holder. Any creature that came into contact with it would feel its physical strength and vitality being quickly drained away, and eventually become extremely weak, or even die.

Not only that, the cursed object also exudes an invisible dark aura. This aura quickly infected the surrounding environment, causing the surrounding plants to wither, animals to flee, and humans to feel endless fear and oppression. Xingluo discovered that the dark aura gradually spread, covering a wider and wider area, and the entire Lost City fell into a dead and gloomy state. The infected area became lifeless, as if swallowed by darkness.

What's even more terrifying is that the curse has the ability to bind the soul. When Xingluo tried to control the curse, he felt as if he was bound by an invisible force and couldn't get rid of it. This bondage not only brought him great pain, but also made him feel that his soul was controlled by the curse, unable to act independently, as if he had become a slave of the curse. Anyone who tried to destroy or control it would suffer the same fate, with their soul bound and losing their free will. Fortunately, Xingluo had a strong mental strength and eventually got rid of this control, but this also left him with some lingering fears, especially when the ancient priest in black robes suddenly appeared when he was making the curse.
