Chapter 125: The Furnace Little Hell (12th Update)

  "Alright. I'll protect Yuki. Lin Xi, you few take care of her: let's set off now!"

  The Holy Maiden Qinglian flicked her wrist, and a six-inch-tall scarlet gate flew out of her hand. With a loud crash, it fell to the ground and transformed into a three-meter-tall arched "Gate of Time and Space".

  "The moment the 'Gate of Time and Space' took shape, a scarlet mist burst forth with a loud roar: 'Hooooo!'"

  At the top of the "Gate of Time and Space", a ferocious and ugly devil's head was carved. The dark red devil's eyes stared fiercely at everyone. In front of everyone Chapter 125

  In the mind of Little Purgatory (12th update), a fierce and menacing roar echoed.

  "What an ominous aura!"

  Lin Xi secretly thought to herself.

  This "Gate of the Furnace Little Hell" gave him a feeling, as if a ferocious and brutal beast from the wilderness was opening its big mouth, waiting for people to enter. Unlike the "Black Dragon Gate" that Lin Xi had experienced before, this "Gate of the Furnace Little Hell" gave Lin Xi a feeling of an evil world, a cruel world that did not belong to humans.

  "Hurry up and go! In the small hell of the furnace, there are many demon lords who have the ability to destroy the space-time gate. We can't stay here for too long. Moreover, the space-time gate is two-way, the longer it's open, the easier it will attract a large number of demons!"

  The Holy Maiden of the Clear Lotus said, and was the first to step into the crimson "Gate of Time and Space".

  The Gate of Time and Space is two-way, and it's not just open for the strong humans alone. Demons can also pass through the Gate of Time and Space to enter the human world.

  For demons, the breath of the human world pouring in through the gates of time and space is extremely eye-catching: like a lighthouse in the dark night, it is very easy to attract the attention of demons.

  Once the space-time gate is opened, it must be entered quickly. This point is different from Lin Xi's "Black Dragon Gate" mission. Chapter 125

  The Furnace of Little Hell (Twelfth Update), also reveals the dangers of the hell world.

  "Let's go in too!"

  Several female disciples who served Qinglian Holy Girl looked at each other and followed suit, stepping into the space-time gate.

  "Shi Jie is waiting over there, Lin Xi, let's go too."

  Shangguan Yaoyue said.

  Lin Xi nodded and the two of them stepped through the "Gate of the Furnace Little Hell" together. Endless light and shadow immediately rushed before their faces.

  Boom!

  The field of vision shook violently, and then a vast world slowly unfolded before Lin Xi. Underfoot was what seemed to be scorched crimson earth, while above was a sky filled with burning clouds. Everything in sight was crimson, and the air that entered his nostrils was scorching hot.

  The whole world is on fire, this is the little hell of the furnace!

  "It's so hot!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue's voice rang out.

  "Girl, this crucible little hell is itself a huge crucible. We are still on the edge now. Haven't reached the really hot place yet:"

  The Holy Maiden of the Clear Lotus smiled and said.

  "Really?!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue stuck out her tongue.

  The Holy Maiden of the Clear Lotus smiled, raised her palm, and a stream of true energy flew out, entering the magnificent space-time gate behind her. The light flashed, and this huge space-time gate was reduced to six inches in size, falling into her palm, which she then closed.

  "The Crucible of Small Hells" and the "Gate of Black Dragon" that Lin Xi had contact with are different, it can be put away in another world.

  Involving the demonic tribe's hell world is fraught with danger. The Space-Time Gate, in itself, was formed by collecting and refining primordial energy; as long as one's strength is sufficient, it can completely destroy the Space-Time Gate.

  So, once you enter here, the first thing to do is to put away the "Gate of Time and Space".

  "Let's go! The place where the space-time gate is open will soon attract a large number of devils. We can't stay here!"

  The Way of the Holy Lotus

  As the strongest existence in this line, plus having entered the small hell of the furnace many times, Qinglian Holy Girl has enough authority and discourse power.

  "Sister, you lead the way."

  Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue naturally had no objections.

  A group of people set off quickly, heading deep into the depths of the smelting little hell.

  All the way, Shang Guan Yuxue was very excited, looking around and chattering nonstop, treating this place like a tourist attraction. For Shang Guan Yuxue who had never been here before, this place was obviously very attractive.

  Jihee was relatively calm by comparison.

  The small hell of the furnace is a place where saints and saintesses come to practice more frequently. Lin Xi carefully observed, also preparing for when he would become a saint himself and enter here alone in the future.

  The smelting furnace is small, the ground of hell is rugged and uneven, with many hills and almost no flat land.

  "Sister, what's that? It seems like something is staring at us."

  Shangguan Yaoyue suddenly pointed into the distance.

  Everyone followed her gaze and saw that in the distance, on a fire-red hill that rose up, there was something vague, sizing up the crowd. Because it was all red, at first glance, it seemed to blend into the fire-red hill, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell them apart.

  "Everyone be careful, this is a little devil! A creature unique to the Furnace of Little Hell. The little devils always act in groups, this one seems to be scouting, it's already discovered us."

  "Listen carefully!" said Holy Maiden Qinglian.

  At this moment, the monster on the distant hill also noticed everyone's gaze and suddenly let out a sharp, high-pitched cry like an infant wailing, hoarse and ear-piercing.

  "Hum!"

  The wailing had just stopped, and a faint tremor came from afar, spreading to the feet of the crowd. At first, it was very subtle, but in the blink of an eye, it became extremely intense, with loud rumbling vibrations.

  "Quack!"

  A thin, bony, and small red creature shot out from behind a hill.

  Lin Xi finally saw clearly that this was a small devil only found in the underworld. These things were only three or four feet tall, their bodies were all bones, wrapped in a thin layer of skin, just like a hungry ghost, looking evil and sinister.

  Although thin, their skeletons are extremely powerful, and each jump is tens of meters, dozens of meters away. They move with four limbs on the ground, similar to frogs, but at an incredibly fast speed.

  This point, Lin Xi and others have already witnessed it with their own eyes.

  Densely packed, there were thirty or forty little devils, their eyes flashing with ferocious light, rushing towards the crowd. Lin Xi noticed that these little devils all had purple, triangular wings on their backs.

  These purple little wings are only palm-sized and obviously cannot propel the body of these little devils to fly.

  "Sister, what should we do? Shouldn't we escape quickly?"

  Shangguan Yaoyue looked at the crowd standing still, and couldn't help but say. After all, she was still a girl, and the dense, evil-looking little devils that numbered in the tens of thousands made her scalp tingle with fear.

  "No, we won't run."

  Qinglian Holy Girl shook her head and followed the winding path: "Yaoxue, these little devils are just a small hell in the furnace, the lowest, weakest creatures. The deeper we go, the stronger the creatures will be. Unless we're ready to turn back, it's inevitable that we'll encounter these little devils."

  "Let's just consider it a warm-up exercise for now, and let you all get familiar with the situation in this small world of the Crucible."

  Qinglian Holy Girl said, turning her head: "Lin Xi, now it's up to you and Yaoyue to deal with these little devils. Don't worry, they only have the strength of one refinement of Qi, and we will be supporting you from the side. There won't be any danger."

  "Uh-huh."

  Lin Xi nodded slightly. He knew this was a special creation of Qinglian Holy Girl, an opportunity for them to adapt.

  Although there were many of these little devils, they posed no threat to a strong practitioner like Qinglian Holy Girl who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining and Dao Root. Moreover, there were also several female disciples from the inner sect who were at the Nascent Soul and Law Enforcement stages standing beside her.

  The little demon approached quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than a hundred zhang away from the crowd.

  "Ching ju lan tai, zhu xiang ni men san ren shang qu."

  Translation: "Clear chrysanthemum orchid moss, bamboo fragrance you three people go up."

  Qinglian Holy Girl said to the three Qi Xianjing inner disciples beside her.

  "Yes, elder sister!"

  Three beautiful female disciples of the Qi Xian Jing responded.

  "Quack!"

  A swarm of tiny devils swooped in, and three masters from the Realm of Qi simultaneously leapt out with a burst of energy. With a swing of their swords, the void shook, and a surge of true energy, like a mighty ocean, rushed forth, as if a massive wave crashed down, instantly dividing the group of small devils into three. Each sword aura engulfed over a dozen tiny devils.

  The strong men of the Gasian Realm showed their strength without a doubt. More than thirty little devils, in the midst of the three people's aura and light, charged left and right, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break through the sword light. As for Qingdang, Lantai, and Zhuxin, the three of them still seemed to have the upper hand, their faces not red, their breathing not labored.

  In an instant, only five or six of these little devils remained, slipping through the three men's defense line and pouncing on the crowd.

  Lin Xi understood and knew that a few little devils were left for herself.

  "Jade snow, go ahead." Heart nodded.

  Lin Xi's foot stepped down, and with a whoosh, he charged forward. With a loud rumble, his majestic true energy surged forth, covering the sky and earth, overturning mountains and seas. The five little devils were swept up by his true energy wave, each letting out ear-piercing screams. They were still over three zhang away from Lin Xi when they were blown flying.

  "Hah!"

  Five little demons rolled on the ground, their skin bursting open, and fresh blood spurted out, splashing down a patch of purple stains. It was a deep purple blood that was completely different from human blood. They got up again, their crimson eyes rolling wildly, emitting a fierce glow. After a brief pause, they pounced forward once more.

  "Huh?"

  Ji Xixin was slightly surprised in his heart. This move of his, although not full force, exceeded one catty, and a cultivator at the peak of the first layer of Qi Refining, unexpectedly didn't even kill a small evil spirit.

  "These little devils are hellish creatures, their skulls are extremely hard, far surpassing that of humans. They're not easy to kill. Lin Xi, you must be careful."

  The Holy Maiden of the Clear Lotus reminded from behind.

  "Really?"

  Lin Xi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and in the blink of an eye, he activated the "Ghost King Technique". A dark green arm burst out of thin air, and with just one claw, it pierced through the body of a small demon. The back of his hand emerged from its back, while his palm still grasped a pulsating heart.

  The little devil struggled for a few moments, then its head drooped and it didn't move anymore.

  The attack power in the Refining Qi Realm is stronger than a simple True Qi blast. Even if these little demons are strong, they are only at the first level of refining qi and can't resist.

  "Come on!"

  Lin Xi's internal true energy surged, and in the blink of an eye, four or five True Energy condensed "Ghost King Claws" burst out, rumbling towards the small devil in front of him.
