Volume 1 Chapter 132: Ghassem the Great Lord

  "Alright, ahead is the Heart of the Furnace. The high-risk area that belongs to the Small Hell of the Furnace is no longer suitable for you, my junior brother. You should stop here."

  At this moment, Qinglian Holy Girl suddenly pointed forward and said.

  Lin Xi stopped in his tracks, gazing out at the distance. Before him, a sea of scorching magma churned ceaselessly, emitting a "gurgling" sound as bubbles burst forth. The air was thick with noxious fumes, and even the air itself seemed to writhe in agony under the intense heat. A ferocious and perilous aura emanated from this region.

  Lin Xi felt like a lamb standing under the eyes of countless ferocious beasts. In the fog, he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him.

  This is the "Heart of the Furnace", the lair of all demons in the small hell of the furnace.

  Here, there are not only great devils from the fourth to sixth layers of Qi Refining, but also devil lords comparable to the Holy Sons and Daughters of sects. There is even a "Great Devil Lord" with ten layers of Qi Refining. Occasionally, there are also demon generals and demon kings who come from other hellish planes, breaking through the void.

  That was the most dangerous area in the Furnace of Small Hell, even Qinglian Holy Girl would be walking on thin ice with caution. How could she take Lin Xi there when she couldn't even protect herself?

  And besides, without the power of flight in "Furnace Heart", it's a dead end. Just crossing the boiling "Furnace Long River" is already difficult enough. And even if one can fly, they will often face many powerful demons that also possess flight capabilities!

  In the heart of the furnace, Xian Dao disciples often gather automatically, forming groups to hunt and kill demons. Each earns merit points based on their own abilities.

  That's where the most Xian Dao disciples gather!

  "Uh-huh. Eldest sister, you guys go ahead. I'll just hunt down some demonic mages on the outskirts. I'll wait for you to come out."

  Lin Xidao.

  He has a self-aware mind, and even the Seventh-Order Dao Root Period's Qinglian Shizhi doesn't dare to delve too deeply into his heart. Let alone him. Once he encounters an evil demon lord, just one finger can crush him to death.

  "Hehehe, little brother, then we'll take our leave first."

  Several female disciples of the inner sect smiled and said.

  It's only at this moment that I can find a bit of the superior feeling of being an older sister, with a raised eyebrow and a proud smile, after traveling with Lin Xi for so long.

  "Hehe, let's go, a few sisters. Be careful on the road."

  Lin Xi smiled slightly.

  Qinglian Holy Girl nodded, gave Lin Xi a few "Bìgǔ Dān" and a talisman, then rose into the air and disappeared in the thick fog.

  "Biguan Dan ~~-" is a special item that can only be exchanged by inner door disciples. It was refined and prepared by the Shenyue Sect's Dan Ding Zhen Lao, made from a large amount of food materials.

  It's called a medicinal pill, but it's actually just food. It's just that the dregs have been extracted, leaving only the essence. It's only as big as a little fingernail. Swallow one and you can go without eating for two days.

  More importantly, due to the addition of alchemy materials, it will eliminate the body's feeling of hunger.

  The price of this "Bì Gǔ Dān" is not cheap, mainly for the Xian Dao disciples to enter other worlds and prepare for the "Time-Space Gate" mission.

  "It's time to carry out the logical mission!"

  Lin Xi put away the "Pi Gu Dan" and the talisman, a flash of light in his eyes, and immediately flew off in another direction.

  "Kill the Lava Little Demon King" task, reward 12,000 merit points, this is a task that can drive people crazy. Lin Xi has killed so many demons for so many days, and may not have so many merit points.

  If he could kill this "Lava Little Demon King", Lin Xi would enter the small rich class overnight. He would have a large amount of merit points to buy all kinds of elixirs, ultimate skills, and even magical weapons!

  The mission of Tong Jia is really too rich!

  All the way, Lin Xi kept encountering the sneak attacks of the little devils. However, Lin Xi didn't get entangled with them for long. He would usually kill a few little devils and then leave immediately.

  "The Furnace's Ear, the Furnace's Ring, the Furnace's Crown... This is it! Little Demon King should be in the Furnace's Crown!"

  Lin Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, and thoughts flashed through his pupils one by one.

  The Ear of Furnace and the Ring of Furnace, on their way here, Lin Xi followed Qinglian Sheng and had already passed through. Neither of them encountered Young Master Lava. The only place left that hasn't been explored is the Crown of Furnace.

  A map of "Furnace Little Hell" flashed through Lin Xi's mind. This plane was actually very simple in terrain, and if viewed from the air, it would look like a boiling furnace.

  This is also the reason why "Furnace Little Hell" got its name.

  The Furnace's Ear and the Furnace's Ring, as well as the Furnace's Heart, Lin Xi had already passed by and seen. So, in his mind, it was easy to piece together the direction of the Furnace's Crown.

  The top of the furnace heart, a range of fiery red mountains, like waves rising and falling.

  When looking down from the sky, one can vaguely see that this undulating mountain range is like a blood-stained crown inlaid on the top of the "Great Furnace".

  This is the crown of the furnace!

  At the highest point of the furnace, a white-robed Taoist disciple was crawling on the ground, his eyes wide open and motionless, already a corpse.

  The emblem on the chest of this corpse clearly indicates that this young man in white is a disciple of the "Tai Zai Sect" in the Xian Dao world.

  "How dare you! You think you can kill me and get a reward from the sect? Humph, do you think I, Lava Pavilion's Young Master, am that easy to kill?"

  A lonely, gloomy voice rose, and a black boot, without any courtesy, stepped on the face of this young man in white clothes, ruthlessly trampling his face into the scorching sandstone.

  This is an extremely handsome young man, with a slightly pale face, wearing a black silk long gown, and a black dragon xuan iron crown. In his gloomy eyes, there is a hint of arrogance and a high-handed aura.

  The young man stepped on the corpse with one foot and unfolded a black painting scroll with one hand. A beam of black light shot out, covering the corpse.

  Soon, the corpse melted away, and the essence of its flesh and blood transformed into streams of energy that flowed into that eerie black scroll. After a moment, the corpse had dissolved, leaving behind only a skeleton.

  "After all, the ones who understand how to deal with humans the most are still humans themselves! Hehe, Lava Demon King, it's indeed a pleasure working with you. Once you complete this portrait of the Demon Lord, everything that people in the demonic path want - cultivation techniques, elixirs, magical tools, and even women - will be available in abundance."

  A tyrannical voice, not far away, ruthlessly cutting and mocking.

  However, Magmarius didn't mind at all. He slightly turned his neck and said lazily: "Lord Ghassem, benefits don't distinguish between races, everything has a price, it's just a matter of whether your offer is enough or not."

  Your demonic tribe promised me the cultivation method, elixir and degree instrument, I can understand. However, women are still out of the question. The women of your demonic tribe are really too ugly, not worthy of me!

  Lava Little Demon King had a lazy and complacent look on his face, with an utterly defenseless expression.

  Not far from him, a gigantic demon three times the height of a normal person, with purple scales all over its body, sharp claws, and two huge wings on its back that slowly flapped, suspended in mid-air. Its body emitted an aura of extreme danger, like a ferocious beast from the wilderness, so savage it was suffocating.

  This is a Great Evil Abyssal Lord, an existence at the 10th level of Qi Refining. In the Immortal Path, this is already the realm of Great Perfection. Except for the "True Disciples" of the Immortal World, other Qi Refiners are simply no match for it.

  This terrifying hell creature, generally only exists in the core of the Furnace Small World, hidden in the boiling magma. However, it has now appeared on this "Crown of the Furnace" for some unknown reason.

  "Heh heh, Lava Demon King, don't regret it later! Although most female devils don't conform to human aesthetics. But the women of Asura are the most beautiful females in all of Hell. All of your human world's stunning beauties can't compare to our Asura demon maidens. Even the Magic Emperor and Ancestor from the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge want to obtain an Asura maiden. You'd better not refuse, or you'll regret it."

  Ghasem Khan chuckled.

  Its body is extremely large, and when it speaks, its voice is also deep and resonant, but the rotating eyes that glance around are a kind of cunning and clever feeling.

  In fact, appearance is just a disguise. A demon of the Great Lord level, wisdom is no less than that of humans, and even surpasses them.

  "What? Ashura no Doji!"

  The little demon's throat slid down, and his eyes shot out a greedy gaze: "That is the nobility of your Hell Great World, can this also be bestowed upon me?"

  "Haha, our demonic tribe is quite reliable. The Demon King said that as long as you can collect enough powerful human blood, and complete the plan for the Demon King, not only will Ashura be given to you, but other benefits are also possible. And if you're willing, the Demon King can even give you a body modification, making you one of our noble demonic tribe members!"

  Kazem, the Grand Master, rolled his eyes and said with a sly tone: "To show our sincerity, we will give you some rewards and gifts in advance."

  With a wave of its palm, the ugly and terrifying purple scales on the center of its hand revealed a black inner elixir the size of a fist. A fierce black flame rose from it, swirling around the elixir and vaguely taking the shape of a terrifying black dragon: "This is the inner elixir of 'Rumorte', the leader of the seven-layered hellfire dragons that I searched for and killed in the lava flows. We know you are cultivating fire-attribute magic. This seven-layered magic dragon's inner elixir can make your magic great, and successfully promote you to the peak of the Qi Immortal stage. The energy within is even more than enough to support your next promotion after you ascend! This is a reward from the Demon King."

  "Ah!"

  Lava Little Demon King stared intently at the Dragon Dan in the palm of the Great Devil Lord, with greedy light shooting out from his eyes.

  The black dragon flame danced, the jumping light reflected on his face, sometimes black and sometimes white. The little demon king of lava stared at the magic core of this demon dragon, listening to the energy roar like a tide inside.

  Even a fool can feel the mighty power in this dragon pill.

  To know, the leader of the seven-layered Qi refining is "Lumorte". In the Xian Dao world, this is the entire cultivation of a Holy Son or Holy Maiden in a Xian Dao sect. Moreover, due to the dragon's physique being extremely powerful, the energy it can contain is even more magnificent than that of a Holy Son or Holy Maiden in a Xian Dao sect. At least two Holy Sons' worth of cultivation.
