Chapter 1017 -The Door of The Purgatory Part 2
"This is just a rough estimation. But some things can happen and perhaps make them appear earlier. Therefore, you must improve your might as quickly as possible."
There was a never seen before seriousness on Murong Qing Chu's usual aloof and elegant face. His pleasant voice was as refreshing as spring water.
"I understand."
Mu Ru Yue nodded and said, "Murong Qing Chu, please bring me to the Eighteen Level of Purgatory…"
The entrance of the Eighteen Level of Purgatory was located at a volcano near the North Devil Palace. That volcano frequently erupted, making its surrounding tremendously dangerous. Hence, not people would be willing to enter that area.
"The Eighteen Level of Purgatory is within the sea of flames of that volcano. This is the key. You can head down there by yourself. I won't be accompanying you."
Murong Qing Chu took out a key that had a length of an entire arm from his storage dimension and placed it before Mu Ru Yue. With a light smile, he said, "I believe you have some ways to enter it."
Mu Ru Yue nodded slightly. She took out and consumed a Fire Nullification Pill from her storage dimension. She jumped within the sea of flames after taking the key from Murong Qing Chu, rapidly disappearing from the man's aloof eyes…
Hot!
Now, Mu Ru Yue could fill she was being surrounded by heat!
She could still feel a heat as though capable of incinerating her even under the effect of the Fire Nullification Pill.
"This sea of flames is enormous. I don't know where the entrance of the Purgatory will be at."
Mu Ru Yue remained silent for a moment in deep thoughts.
Yet, the key in her hand emitted a faint glow. The golden light illuminated the entire sea of flames. It was as though guiding her…
"Is this it?" Mu Ru Yue thought as she hastily swam forward.
Suddenly, she halted her movements as she looked in front of her. Her gaze landed on a group of scarlet scorpion; her pupils dilated abruptly.
"Are those… Flame Scorpions? Furthermore, the weakest one in the group is at the Spiritual Realm and there are a couple of scorpions at the Supreme Realm…"
Mu Ru Yue's breath became slightly sluggish.
'I didn't expect there will be so many aggressive demon beasts within the sea of flames.'
Nonetheless, those Flame Scorpions seemed to have noticed Mu Ru Yue existence while she was in deep thoughts, quickly crawling toward her.
Their speed was so rapid that they quickly neared before Mu Ru Yue…
"If it was other places and needed to face these many foes, perhaps I would struggle a little. But this place is within the sea of flames. This is the environment where I excel in the best."
Mu Ru Yue slowly raised her hand, instantly a large sword appeared in her palm. All of the flames gathered toward Mu Ru Yue, forming an intense firestorm around her sword.
Boom!
With a brandish of her sword, the firestorm swiftly headed toward the scorpions that were crawling over. Although the scorpions had a fire attribute, they couldn't withstand such a blow. Several died on their backs after a large explosion.
Some lucky survivors stood timidly at a side, afraid to continue advancing.
Mu Ru Yue withdrew her Heavenly Flame Dragon Sword. But she didn't plan on wiping all of those scorpions out. Since they stopped their advancement, she wouldn't intentionally attack them…
"Since the Flame Scorpions appeared here, it also means that the entrance to the purgatory isn't far."
She speedily swam in front of the scorpions, heading to the direction that the key was leading her to. Those scorpions wanted to try and stop her. But they cowered a little once they thought back about her previously might…
A set of enormous doors was promptly reflected within Mu Ru Yue's eyes.
Chapter 1018 -The Door of The Purgatory Part 3
There was a set of rusty metal chains hanging on the door. A large key opening entered Mu Ru Yue's eyes. There was a horrifying skull with two glimmering hell flames shining within it. It was as if a pair of eyes was staring gloomily at you…
"Is this the entrance of the purgatory? But…"
Mu Ru Yue's voice was suddenly vanished from within her throat. It was as though her further words were stuck within it. Her gaze stared at the Phoenix that was sitting crossed-leg with its eyes close beside the entrance, gasping.
"Scorching Flame Phoenix! That's right, it is indeed the legendary Scorching Flame Phoenix from the legends that had already been extinct from the continent ages ago! Why has it appeared here?"
'The Scorching Flame Phoenix is a well-known demon beast from the prehistoric time. From what I had read, it managed to wipe out a million army force by itself.
'Following that, she left the continent after becoming a god. But why is she at this kind of place now?'
The Scorching Flame Phoenix that was creeping[1: Miki: If it was me, I would say resting but the author wants the Phoenix to be a creep xD] beside the entrance of the purgatory finally opened her eyes when Mu Ru Yue's heart was trembling…
Her pair of scarlet red eyes that carried a ruthless bloodthirsty vibe within it slowly landed on Mu Ru Yue…
Boom!
A strong aura rose from the Scorching Flame Phoenix. She slowly stood up and walked toward Mu Ru Yue.
The pressure reeking off her body intensified as she neared Mu Ru Yue, suffocating anyone within its presence…
"Human, who allowed you to step a foot into this place?" The Scorching Flame Phoenix raised her head as she looked down toward Mu Ru Yue with an alluring voice that was filled with sinister coldness. "My Master had ordered me to take care of this entire sea of flames. Anyone that barges into it must die!"
A potent killing intent surged forth from the Scorching Flame Phoenix's body when it said the last word. The entire flames within the sea of flames accumulated toward the Scorching Flame Phoenix at that moment.
Boom!
The feathers of her entire body were ignited, giving off a dreadful grandeur.
Mu Ru Yue felt that it was extremely difficult just to move her feet under the pressure of the aura. Her glacial appearance became gravely pale bit by bit.
"No, I certainly mustn't die here!"
Mu Ru Yue took in a mouthful of cold air and became silent.
'This phoenix's might is really powerful. It is at least several times stronger than those little scorpions. Even if the Phoenix hasn't become a full god, she should at least already be a half-god.
'That kind of might isn't something I can deal with currently…
'Moreover, the effect of the Fire Nullification Pill is already dissipating. Even if I don't fear these flames, I will still be severely hurt even if I manage to survive within this sea of flames once the Fire Nullification effect has completely vanished.'
"If I've not guessed wrong, you should have sustained severe injuries." A glimmered flickered in Mu Ru Yue's eyes and she said, "If you let me enter the entrance of the purgatory, I can help you treat your wounds."
The Scorching Flame Phoenix sniggered as she refused, "Humans are always known to be crafty creatures. Isn't it you humans that hurt me to such an extent? I no longer believe in any flowery words that you human race speaks. Since you have the guts to barge into this place, you should accept death!"
Swish!
Flames gradually condensed within the hand of the Scorching Flame Phoenix.
Boom!
The flame moved like a light wave toward Mu Ru Yue. Mu Ru Yue felt as though the air before her had dissipated under the scorching flames. She could only watch on as those flames neared her…
'No!
'I can't die!
'There is a man still waiting for me.
'Since I promised I will return safely, I mustn't let him down!'
Mu Ru Yue raised her head with a powerful grandeur that erupted from her body. That light wave that was charging over to her instantly vanished under the might of her intense power…
