Fate of the Immortals and Demons

Chapter 337 Hell Fire

"Huhuhu..."

When Ding Yubai followed Xiao Jiu to the bottom of an abyss, all he could see was the hard rock wall and the sound of whistling.

If you listen carefully, you can easily discover that these sounds are faintly coming from the cracks in the rocks...

"This Desolate Dark Mine is buried beneath this abyss. You'd better be careful. There's a Netherfire that's trying to take it by force, relying on it to absorb the magic crystals. If you can recover it, it will be considered a great fortune for you."

After Xiaojiu brought Ding Yubai here, he revealed another piece of information in a calm and unsurprising manner.

"Hellfire!?"

Ding Yubai frowned slightly and turned to look at Xiaojiu, who seemed to be staying out of the matter and staying away from him. He seemed to be ready to run away at any time, as if the situation was not good. He couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you telling me now?"

Xiaojiu smiled awkwardly and said:

"It's the same thing I'm telling you now! If you're afraid of getting burned, then don't dig."

Ding Yubai couldn't help but get angry. Things had come to this point, and he was just being forced to do it. He clenched his fists and asked:

“How to dig?”

"With your Chilong Divine Spear, which is indestructible, it should be easy to penetrate the rock cracks."

After Xiaojiu said this lightly, he subconsciously floated back, showing that he was trying to avoid it as much as possible.

Because of the previous experience, Xiaojiu only told the devil about it when the situation arose.

Now, seeing that the truth could no longer be hidden, Ding Yubai even mentioned the underworld fire again. He had completely lost his temper.

After a pause, he gathered himself and calmed his mind, then Ding Yubai took out the Chilong Divine Spear.

Although it was midnight, he could still vaguely detect a distance of about ten feet with his magic consciousness.

If Ding Yubai still had no cultivation, he would be completely in the dark, and it could be said that he could not see his hand in front of him.

Through the exploration of evil thoughts and divine sense, Ding Yubai could vaguely see that cracks like tortoise shells were spreading from the bottom of the abyss.

It is not difficult to see that this place is not a whole, but is concealed.

"This is it, break it open for me!"

After several explorations using his evil thoughts and spiritual awareness, Ding Yubai aimed at a larger gap, poured all his strength into it, and thrust out with his spear.

"Rumble..."

But he never imagined that this shot would break through a barrier, and the sound of collapse was like piercing a cracked eggshell...

"Huhuhu..."

However, this time, the crack in the rock was easily broken through, and Ding Yubai didn't even have time to show any surprise.

Along with a huge roar like a tidal wave, a heat wave hit us in the face.

At this moment, Ding Yubai felt as if he had broken a blazing furnace.

Just as Ding Yubai subconsciously stepped back out of instinct to avoid the heat wave.

Suddenly, a deformed tentacle with a green glow, like a long-dormant poisonous snake, came straight towards him.

"what is this?"

Ding Yubai was horrified, but he reacted quickly and retreated to avoid the attack.

Fortunately, this deformed tentacle cannot extend infinitely. It is like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. If it misses the target, it will be quickly retracted.

Ding Yubai suddenly felt as if he had survived a disaster, and stared at the rock wall with a hole in it from afar.

You can vaguely see a faint glow inside, like a ball of green ghost fire, appearing and disappearing.

"Could this be the Nether Fire? Hey, Xiaojiu, where are you? Where did you go?"

Ding Yubai seemed to understand something while talking to himself, but then he looked around and found that the Chilong spirit had disappeared without a trace.

"Oh my god! Xiaojiu, where have you been? Can we still fight side by side?"

Everywhere he looked, it was pitch black. Even his evil thoughts and divine consciousness could not detect them. Ding Yubai immediately started swearing.

"call……"

Just as Ding Yubai finished speaking, the netherworld fire suddenly erupted again, like a drop of oil splashing into the fire and exploding with a loud bang.

Under this circumstance, Ding Yubai had no choice but to retreat and not fight.

"Hey, kid, whether or not this Nether Fire can be tamed depends entirely on you. This dragon god can do nothing to help you. I am powerless."

It was not until a long time later that Xiaojiu's voice was heard from afar. From the voice, it was not difficult to hear that this guy must be afraid of getting into trouble and trying to avoid it.

No wonder Ding Yubai couldn't see any trace of this guy.

When Ding Yubai heard this, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

It is true that it is better to rely on yourself than on others.

Helplessly, Ding Yubai watched the netherworld fire return to calm, and had to approach the broken cave step by step with caution.

After all, it’s not a good idea to keep the stalemate like this.

Just like, it is the early bird catches the worm. Only by keeping the initiative firmly in your own hands can you have a chance of winning.

With this in mind, Ding Yubai approached the cave cautiously, step by step, for fear of angering the dark and uncertain netherworld fire.

When they arrived at the cave, Ding Yubai poked his head in to look inside.

It looks like a naturally formed cave inside, with emerald green stalactites interlaced, giving a real feeling of being in a blessed land.

And there was also an extremely rich and pure demonic energy emanating...

"Hey, kid, stop looking. If you keep looking, it will be dawn soon."

Just when Ding Yubai was watching intently, Xiaojiu's slightly urging voice came from afar.

Ding Yubai knew that time was running out, not to mention whether Baili Xiyuan had left or not.

Just to say that Ying Xuwei, who wanted to abduct him by force, was very likely to appear at any time.

"By the way, Xiaojiu, does this Nether Fire have any weaknesses? How..."

Ding Yubai lingered at the entrance of the cave opened by the Chilong Divine Spear, and couldn't help but hesitate to ask questions.

Because they were close to the cave entrance, the shout immediately attracted the netherworld fire, which seemed to be about to explode.

Seeing this, Ding Yubai had no choice but to shut up immediately.

"This Nether Fire prefers quietness. The reason it suddenly attacked and injured someone was entirely because you startled it. Moreover, judging by its attack, its cultivation level must be similar to yours. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to dodge it so easily."

Xiaojiu still hid far away, watching from the sidelines and responding indifferently.

After hearing this, Ding Yubai felt more at ease.

Due to time constraints, it was inconvenient to ask any further questions, for fear of angering the Nether Fire again.

After a slight hesitation, Ding Yubai put away the Chilong Divine Spear, leaped into the cave.

Because the movement was so slight, the dark and uncertain netherworld fire was not disturbed.

For a moment, Ding Yubai was in a dilemma.

Facing this netherworld fire clinging to the top of a giant stalactite, one suddenly feels helpless, as it can only be viewed from a distance but not touched or played with.

"Never mind. Time is running out. I'd better absorb the magic crystal first. After my cultivation breaks through, I'll see if I can collect this Nether Fire."

Having made up his mind, Ding Yubai deliberately stayed away from the netherworld fire, trying not to get involved with it, and came to a stalactite that was glowing with a bright light.

"Such pure and rich demonic energy! I wonder how much stronger it is than the demonic energy contained in that second-level demonic core crystal?"

Ding Yubai knew what was important and what was not, and was well versed in making choices. He immediately stopped coveting the Nether Fire.

Instead, he leaned his back against the stalactite, sat cross-legged, absorbed the demonic energy, and broke through his cultivation.

"It seems this kid hasn't been blinded by greed and knows why he's here. I thought he was short-sighted, putting the cart before the horse, and only focused on conquering this Netherfire first."

Xiaojiu saw this scene from afar, with approval in his eyes, and his opinion of Ding Yubai changed greatly.

"Huhuhu..."

Ding Yubai concentrated his mind and absorbed the evil spirit, and suddenly fell into a state of ecstasy.

As time went by, a strong wind formed with itself as the center, and continued to grow stronger...

Furthermore, within this strong wind, one could faintly see that the extremely pure demonic energy was gradually showing a trend of materialization.

It evolved into black lines as thin as hair, sinking into Ding Yubai's skull...

This movement not only shocked Xiaojiu who was watching closely, but also startled the Nether Fire attached to the top of the giant stalactite.

However, what is surprising is that such a huge noise did not anger the quiet-loving Nether Fire.

It was as if this nether fire had developed intelligence and was shocked by the scene.

"Give it to me!"

At this moment, this vast, pure, and endless demonic energy poured into his head.

Ding Yubai felt that at this moment, he was like a big inflated ball.

Only by compressing and condensing the demonic energy that is continuously poured into the body can there be a chance to breathe.

"What is this? Demonic Soul Silk? Could it be that this kid is born a demon cultivator? He's only at the Demonic Qi Realm..."

Xiaojiu was deeply shocked when he saw this scene and could not help but approach the cave entrance.

"Boom boom boom..."

Just as Ding Yubai continued to condense these strands of demonic energy into solid form, collisions and squeezing began to occur within his body.

This is like a ball that is about to burst, but then it gets worse because the inside is too full, which makes it counterproductive.

"boom!"

Ding Yubai tried his best and persevered with gritted teeth, accompanied by the sound of dust settling.

Without any suspense, he successfully broke through from the eighth level of the Demonic Energy Realm, the Tong character Jue, to the ninth level of the Demonic Energy Realm, the Ning character Jue.

However, this breakthrough did not mean the end. The gradually condensed magic soul thread still unconsciously poured into Ding Yubai's head.

In this way, it would really be like forcing someone to have sex, which made Ding Yubai feel extremely miserable.

"What should I do? Should I advance directly from the ninth level of the Condensation Art in the Demonic Energy Realm to the Demonic Dao Realm in one go, or break through to the rumored tenth level of the Yuan Art in the Demonic Energy Realm?"

Ding Yubai was like standing at a fork in the road. One option was to advance naturally and break through to a higher level.

The other one is to enter the realm of perfection of the tenth level of the Demonic Realm, as rumored.

But you must know that the tenth level of perfection will undoubtedly be more difficult.

Correspondingly, its actual combat capability should not be underestimated and is far superior to its peers.

"Boy, time waits for no one. Will you be victorious or lose? It all depends on your decision!"

Just at this moment, Xiaojiu had arrived at the cave entrance and couldn't help shouting loudly.
