However, he had clearly missed the best opportunity to break free. The power that made him uncomfortable had already seeped into his soul irresistibly, making it impossible for him to release his Soul Power.
"It seems that you still don't know your situation. Well then, I'll let you experience the feeling of ecstasy first," Lin Li said sarcastically, and then placed the magical crystal into the mageweath. He then placed the magical crystal into the mageweath, and the mageweath that was emitting a faint light suddenly emitted a dazzling ray of light that enveloped the entire body of the Fire Demon King.
"Ah, what is this!?" With the activation of the mageweath, the Fire Demon King finally couldn't help but shriek after holding on for a while. As a Fire Demon, flames were his talent, and he would never be able to taste the pain of being burned by flames in his life. However, the Fire Demon King now felt a burning pain. It was the pain of his soul being burned.
After all, the Fire Demon King had followed Osric for countless years. Although he had not learned Osric's abilities, he had definitely seen a lot of things. The intense burning pain in his soul, coupled with the action of the human mage drawing the mageweath just now, immediately reminded the Fire Demon King of a mageweath that Osric had once used, the Heavenly Cleansing Fire Mageweath.
However, recognizing the Heavenly Cleansing Fire Mageweath did not make the Fire Demon King feel any better. On the contrary, it made the fear in his heart even more difficult to suppress. When he followed Osric back then, he had witnessed Osric using the Heavenly Cleansing Fire Mageweath to torture his enemies more than once. The Holy Fire that was filled with Divine Power was definitely more painful than any torture.
What was even more despairing was that although the Holy Fire produced by the Heavenly Cleansing Fire Mageweath was full of Divine Power, it was different from the powerful purification power of Holy Light. If it was Holy Light, the soul would only have to endure a short period of intense pain before it would begin to dissipate until it was completely purified. However, the Holy Fire would not harm the foundation of the soul very quickly. In other words, it would continue to bring endless pain to the soul for a long time, but it would not cause the soul to dissipate prematurely. Under the burning of the Holy Fire, all resistance would be futile, and even self-destruction of the soul would become an extravagant hope.
"Stop, hurry up and stop, what do you want to ask!?" the Fire Demon King roared at Lin Li with all his might while enduring the pain of his soul being burned.
Hearing that the Fire Demon King had already admitted defeat, Lin Li did not stop immediately. Instead, he let the Heavenly Cleansing Flame Mageweath circulate for a while, and the dazzling light gradually became gentler. Lin Li had no sympathy for his enemies, especially the Abyssal Demons. These Abyssal Demons were the classic bullies who feared the strong and bullied the weak. If he didn't give them enough suffering, he wouldn't be able to hear the truth from their mouths.
"Tell me why you're here first," Lin Li said calmly.
"Didn't that damned goblin tell you that I'm Osric's servant? This is his mausoleum. What's so strange about me appearing here? Isn't that goblin here too?" The Fire Demon King's voice was trembling slightly, though it was unknown if it was out of anger or fear.
"It seems that you haven't had enough of that ecstasy. In that case, I'll let you experience that wonderful feeling again as you wish. You can also think about how to answer my questions to satisfy me," Lin Li said coldly, and then pretended to activate the Heavenly Cleansing Flame Mageweath again.
"Wait, wait a minute, I'll tell you," the Fire Demon King said in horror when he saw that Lin Li was about to activate the terrifying mageweath again.
However, Lin Li did not stop, and reactivated the Heavenly Cleansing Flame Mageweath as if he had not heard the Fire Demon King's words. The mageweath immediately shone brightly again, and the Fire Demon King's mental fluctuations emitted a roar that was filled with endless pain. The roar even spread to the minds of everyone present, causing their expressions to change drastically.
It was just a few seconds, but it was extremely long for the Fire Demon King. Under the burning of the Holy Fire, he even wished that his soul would dissipate immediately. However, under the erosion of the Holy Fire, he could not mobilize any Soul Power, and even self-destructing his soul had become an extravagant hope.
"Actually, I've always wanted to study the process of the soul burning in the Holy Fire. So, you'd better think carefully about how to answer my questions to satisfy me, "Lin Li said coldly to the Fire Demon King after stopping the operation of the mageweath.
"When Osric signed the contract with me, he promised me that he would help me release all the Fire Demons in the 66th floor of the Abyss one day. Hence, after the Eternal Furnace was built, he helped me build the Gates of the Abyss here, but he has never opened it for me … "the Fire Demon King said to Lin Li anxiously, for fear that the slightest hesitation would cause the terrifying Holy Fire to burn him again.
"Is that so? Since Osric could bring you out of the 66th floor of the Abyss, wouldn't he have a way to bring the other Fire Demons out? Why would he need to build the Gates of the Abyss? Seems like you still think that I'm too soft-hearted. " Lin Li sighed as if he felt sorry for the Fire Demon King, and was about to activate the mageweath again.
"I'm telling the truth. The one who brought me out of the abyss was not Osric, but the Immortal King! It was the Immortal King! "the Fire Demon King yelled in fear.
Upon hearing the Fire Demon King's words, Lin Li stopped this time, and did not activate the Heavenly Cleansing Flame Mageweath. What kind of place was the 66th floor of the abyss? It was a place that even the Dragon Aspect could not set foot in. Although the Fire Demon King only had power close to the Sanctuary-realm here, the power he possessed was definitely enough to compete with Sanctuary powerhouses in the endless magma world of the 66th floor of the abyss. Even ordinary Legendary-level Fire Demons would definitely be able to exert more than twice their strength.
Although Osric was a famous powerhouse in the history of Anril, he had yet to reach his peak when he subdued the Fire Demon King, be it in terms of personal strength or the power he had. He charged into the 66th floor of the abyss, captured the Fire Demon King, and made him his slave. Given Osric's strength at that time, he might not have been able to do that. Hence, the only one who could bring the Fire Demon King out of the abyss was probably the Immortal King, who had killed the Dragon of Destruction and possessed god-like power.
"Go on," Lin Li said after stopping.
"After the Immortal King brought me out of the abyss, he locked me in a prison that could not be broken out of. Apart from me, there were many other Abyss Lords in that prison. Later on, Osric came, and when he saw that I was the most powerful demon in the prison, he released me. At that time, his strength was much weaker than the Immortal King's. If we were still in the abyss, I definitely wouldn't have lost to him. Later on, he made me sign a Soul Contract and become his slave. He also promised to release all the Fire Demons in the 66th floor of the abyss one day, "the Fire Demon King said while recalling. The Fire Demon King recalled, and his tone was clearly still a little resentful that Osric did not fulfill his promise.
After hearing the Fire Demon King's explanation, Lin Li thought of the prison in the Central Tower of the Sky Castle where countless demons were imprisoned. The demon Gordon that he had, the Winged Angel that Cheyenne had, and the unicorn of the elves had all been obtained in that prison. As the disciple of the Immortal King, Osric had ascended to the Sky Castle more than once. Naturally, it was impossible for him not to subdue a powerful slave from that prison.
"After Osric's death, I didn't return to the abyss in order to open the Gates of the Abyss. Instead, I stayed here and continued to perfect the Gates of the Abyss bit by bit. Although I finally succeeded in perfecting the Gates of the Abyss, this damned Eternal Furnace suppressed the power of the Gates of the Abyss, and made it impossible for me to open it. Hence, I could only continue to wait for others to enter and break the balance of power here so that the Gates of the Abyss could break free. Indeed, your arrival affected the balance of power here, and gave me a chance to open the Gates of the Abyss. Unfortunately, I still failed in the end. This is all you need to know. Now that the Gates of the Abyss have been destroyed, it can never be opened again. You can let me go now. " The Fire Demon King's tone was full of disappointment. It would be a huge blow for anyone to have their thousands of years of waiting destroyed.
However, Lin Li shook his head slightly, and said, "You mean, you're staying here just to open the Gates of the Abyss?" Before the Fire Demon King could answer, Lin Li had already activated the Celestial Purification Flame Mageweath, and the Holy Fire that was full of Divine Power once again burned the soul of the Fire Demon King mercilessly.
"Ah! Despicable, despicable human, I've already answered your question. What else do you want!? " The Fire Demon King roared angrily, and the mental waves that he emitted made everyone present feel the endless pain.
"With the strength of your soul, I believe that it won't be a problem for you to persist for thousands of years in this Holy Fire. Although I won't wait that long for you, I can still afford to wait for 10 days to half a month. That should be enough time for you to think about what you've missed out and not tell me. " Lin Li stood up and quietly looked at the corpse of the Fire Demon that was wrapped in light, seemingly not planning to stop the mageweath soon.
Lin Li did not believe that the Fire Demon King had stayed here for thousands of years just to open the Gates of the Abyss. Did he open the Gates of the Abyss and release the Fire Demons on the 66th floor of the abyss just to destroy Anril? Angelano had said that the Fire Demon King also had an extremely powerful weapon when he was Osric's servant.
According to his deduction, Lin Li believed that the powerful weapon was very likely to be the debris of the stars, Nothingness, that he was looking for. With the power of Nothingness, how could the Fire Demon King, who had once used it, not be tempted?
