"Ding … your pet 'Little Gray' has successfully devoured the 'Ice Soul Undead Wolf', HP + 600, MP + 350, Defence + 200."
The last Heavenly Beast, the Ice Soul Undead Wolf, was finally devoured by Little Gray. After devouring three high level Heavenly Beasts in a row, Little Gray had undoubtedly enjoyed the most luxurious meal since he was born. The higher the level of the target he devoured, the more his attributes would increase.
After swallowing, Xiao Hui paused for a while, a light flashed on its horn and spat out three small and exquisite round beads in succession. The orbs were only the size of a thumb, and they were crystal clear, as if they were made of glass.
Could it be another Energy Orb? Ling Chen picked them up, and looked at their attributes.
[Ice Soul Heart-Protector Orb]: A protective orb formed from the core power of the Ice Soul Undead Wolf. Once the power within is activated, it will release the ultimate protective power of the Ice Element. When it is used to touch the armour, the Heart-Protector Orb will automatically adhere to the armour. When the user receives a fatal damage, the Heart-Protector Orb will instantly shatter, completely negating the fatal damage. Effect disappears permanently after one activation.
It was not an Energy Orb, but three life-saving orbs that could negate fatal damage!
One Ice Soul Heart-Protector Orb could negate one fatal damage, and three could negate three. Having them on him was undoubtedly equivalent to having three extra lives!
Ling Chen immediately picked one up, and tried touching the chest area of the Chilling Crystal Battle Armor. With a 'ding', the Ice Soul Heart-Protector Orb was firmly attached to the Chilling Crystal Battle Armor. They were both of the Ice Element, and both were crystal clear, almost fusing with the Chilling Crystal Battle Armor.
"Ding … you have successfully attached the [Ice Soul Heart-Protector Orb] to the [Chilling Crystal Battle Armor]. The activation timing of the [Ice Soul Heart-Protector Orb] is exactly the same as the [Evil God's Mask]. Please rearrange the activation sequence. If you do not make a choice, the [Ice Soul Heart-Protector Orb] will be activated first. "
There was no need to consider this at all. Ling Chen immediately replied, "Activate the [Evil God's Mask] first."
The System let out a 'ding' in response.
The Evil God's Mask's effect could be triggered once every ten seconds. If Ling Chen received any Fatal Damage within the ten seconds of the Cooldown, he would undoubtedly die. Now, with the [Ice Soul Heart-Protector Bead], he could provide three more layers of protection for Ling Chen during the ten-second cooldown of the Mask of the Evil God!
This time, unless he encountered a Spirit Xuan enemy, it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to.
When he reached the end of the Ice Purgatory, the tri-colored barrier blocking the end had completely disappeared, and a dark grey exit appeared before him.
Dao of Shadows, Dao of Darkness, Purgatory of Ice … After that, they would have to pass through the Purgatory of Flames to reach their final destination - the Underworld Blood Lake!
After walking out of the Ice Purgatory, there was a dark and narrow tunnel. The tunnel wasn't long, and they saw the end in less than half a minute. At the end of the path, there was a tightly shut stone door. Above the stone door, there were three large dark red words:
Inferno Purgatory!
Little Gray, who was leading the way, stopped at this moment. The horn on its head suddenly released a grey light, which became increasingly intense. In the end, it was so intense that it enveloped half of Little Gray's body.
Ling Chen stopped in his tracks and looked at Little Gray in astonishment. Apart from its soul-devouring state, Little Gray's horn would only suddenly shine when it sensed danger, or when it detected a treasure or a hidden location. However, Ling Chen had never seen Little Gray's horn release such an intense light before.
"Little Gray, what did you discover?" Ling Chen asked in a low voice.
Little Gray let out a long whine. As the light on its horn became more intense, its fur suddenly stood on end, and its entire body arched downwards, almost sticking to the ice-cold ground. Ling Chen instantly understood that this was a posture that would only appear when it sensed that there was a great danger ahead. This was also a serious warning to Ling Chen.
The Inferno Purgatory was right in front of them.
Little Gray knew Ling Chen's strength the best. Its posture was undoubtedly a warning to Ling Chen that there was a danger ahead that he could not resist. Moreover, judging from the gray light, the danger ahead was the most terrifying one that Ling Chen had ever encountered!
"Little Gray looks very afraid. Is there something terrifying ahead?" Cai Er floated to Ling Chen's side and asked with a doubtful and worried expression.
Ling Chen's eyebrows gradually tightened. Little Gray's detection ability was unparalleled. Its warnings had never been wrong. This warning was a strong warning to Ling Chen that if he continued to move forward, it would be like walking into the abyss of death. It was very likely that he would be consigned to eternal damnation!
Before entering this place, he had also learned from the Undead Warrior that there was an extremely terrifying existence in the Inferno Purgatory that even the eight Spirit Xuan Underworld Gods were deeply afraid of.
However, since he had already come here, how could he retreat? In order to find all of the Lunar Scourge's Orbs, he had to jump down even if the Inferno Purgatory was in front of him. He absolutely could not retreat.
Ling Chen lightly breathed in and gripped his weapon as he slowly approached the entrance of the Inferno Purgatory. When he reached Little Gray, the quiet Little Gray suddenly pounced at him and bit the hem of his pants, forcefully pulling him backwards. However, its body was too small and it did not have any power, so it was unable to move Ling Chen at all. It looked up at Ling Chen, its small eyes filled with warning and even a trace of pleading.
This was the first time that Little Gray had reacted so violently in the face of danger, causing Ling Chen's heart to tremble. His expression fluctuated as he squatted down and gently patted Little Gray's head. He shook his head as he said, "Don't worry, no matter how dangerous it is, it's still very easy for me to survive and escape. Back when I was only LV30, even Snow Cherry couldn't do anything to me. No matter how powerful the enemies in front are, they can't be more powerful than Snow Cherry, right? "
Little Gray still bit Ling Chen and did not let go, desperately dragging his body backwards as if he would not let Ling Chen advance no matter what. Its ability not only allowed it to sense how powerful the enemies in front of it were, but it could also sense how dangerous it would be once it advanced … this time, all it could sense was darkness! Darkness without any impurities. This meant that if Ling Chen entered the Inferno Purgatory, the outcome would be … extremely close to death!
However, even though Little Gray acted so violently, it was unable to stop Ling Chen. Even though he knew that there was great danger ahead, he would not choose to retreat. After a moment of silence, he patted Little Gray's head and carried him onto Snow Cherry's back, continuing to walk towards the entrance of the Inferno Purgatory. Xiao Hui also understood that it had no way of stopping this unyielding master who would disregard everything in order to save Shui Ruo's life. It could only accept its fate and drooped its head. Then it raised its eyes and stared ahead, the fur on its body was still standing up.
Tap … tap … tap …
After taking dozens of steps in silence, Ling Chen finally stood in front of the entrance of the Inferno Purgatory. There was a tightly shut stone door in front of him, and through the small cracks of the door, he could faintly see a flickering light. Ling Chen stretched out his hand and pressed it against the stone door. In that instant, an extremely stifling feeling appeared in his heart, one that made it difficult for him to breathe for a long time.
This was a strong warning that he would only feel when he was about to encounter a great danger!
Just what … was hidden in front of him? Why did it give him such a terrifying sense of danger? This feeling was that … if he took another step forward, he would completely step into the abyss of death!
Ling Chen's body froze in place, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious. Little Gray's reaction and the warning that came from his mind finally made him want to retreat … However, this thought only appeared for an instant before it was ruthlessly erased. Retreating in the face of danger was never his style. The Lunar Scourge's Orb was related to his only hope of saving Shui Ruo, so how could he allow himself to retreat?
Rumble …
As Ling Chen exerted force, the heavy stone door was easily opened by him. Flames shone out from behind the door, illuminating the dark passageway that connected the Inferno Purgatory and Ice Purgatory.
What appeared in front of Ling Chen was a world of flames.
The ground was completely covered by flames, and there was not a single blank spot. Although these flames were connected as a whole, the burning was very uneven. Some places were small and quiet flames, while some places were blazing with raging flames. The lowest flames were only a few dozen centimeters high, while the highest ones were four to five meters high.
The strangest thing was that the color of these flames was not the usual red or orange, nor was it the more scorching blue or purple. Instead, it was an extremely strange … grey that Ling Chen had never seen before! Furthermore, Ling Chen was standing at the edge of such a large sea of flames, but he did not feel any heat at all.
"Xi Ling, why are the flames here grey? Are there grey flames in this world? "Ling Chen asked with a frown.
Xi Ling spread her wings, and turned into a young girl amidst the flashing red light. After looking at the grey flames for a while, her eyes moved, and she finally discovered something. She said, "This is Hellfire! And it's the very pure kind. "
"Hellfire?" This was the first time Ling Chen had heard of this name.
"Although it's also called 'fire', in reality, it's not real fire at all." Xi Ling continued. She had the flames of the Golden Crow, Vermilion Bird, and Phoenix. She was fully deserving of the title of supreme fire, and no fire in the world could compare to her. "This is the highest kind of deathly aura. It's extremely dense, so it's no longer invisible or colorless, but has a physical form. When it flows, it's like a burning flame, so it's called 'Hellfire.' Places with Hellfire are the undead's paradise, but the conditions for Hellfire to appear are extremely harsh. It should only exist in this place called the Underworld. "
Hellfire, although called fire, was not fire. It was an extremely dense deathly aura, and it only looked like a burning flame.
If it was real fire, Ling Chen would not be afraid at all. Because the Mysterious God Xi Ling had given herself and all her pet companions the ability [Wall of Fire], which made them immune to all fire damage.
Since it was deathly aura, then in theory, it should not hurt him. The Underworld was filled with deathly aura, but because of Leng 'Er, he and his pet companions had never been affected by the deathly aura. Hellfire, which was also deathly aura, should not affect them.
With this thought, Ling Chen finally stepped forward and into the "burning" Hellfire, completely entering the range of the Inferno Purgatory.
After entering the Underworld Fire, Ling Chen did not feel any discomfort, and he only felt as if he was being brushed by something that he could not see. None of his pets showed any signs of losing HP, causing Ling Chen to inwardly let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, a heavy sound came from behind him. He suddenly turned his head, and saw that the stone door that had been wide open had automatically closed in an instant.
Ling Chen frowned and quickly reached out to pull on the stone door. However, the stone door that he had just casually pushed open suddenly became a million times heavier. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move it at all. Ling Chen immediately took a step back and raised the Chilling Star and Twilight Spear. With a low roar, he slammed the stone door with two [Heaven Destroying Slashes].
Clang!!
Sparks flew in all directions, and the sound of the impact was deafening. The rebound force caused Ling Chen to take a few steps back, and he almost fell to the ground. His arms were also numb. On the stone door, there was only an extremely shallow dent. In the next second, the dent disappeared without a trace like a thin trace of water, as if it had never been there.
With the Scorpio Orb, Ling Chen's attacks all had a strong destructive attribute. The attack just now could easily shatter a hard boulder, but it could not cause any damage to this stone door.
Not being able to open this stone door meant that … his path of retreat was completely cut off!
