With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 822 - 611: Kui Demon, Burning Steel, Chosen of Purgatory!
The moment he stepped into the rift, Meng Chuan instinctively gathered his spiritual energy as he opened his eyes.
The last hope of getting out completely shattered.
Meanwhile.
As he adjusted his breath, Meng Chuan felt as if he had entered the Demon Nest...
The intensely dense demonic qi mixed with heat waves rolling like tides; this was clearly a place within Fiery Sun Heaven.
Standing on the sulfur-colored deep red ground, a high temperature of hundreds of degrees surged through the soles of his feet, and the surrounding heat was indeed hotter than the magma from before.
What surprised him even more was that this scorching sensation was something he’d never experienced before.
It emanated from inside him, not felt first by the surface of his skin as "heat."
As if his soul was ignited, the burning sensation pervaded his entire being.
Though the physical sensation of heat reached its peak, Meng Chuan involuntarily shivered.
A shudder that came from the depths of his soul...
Where... is this place?
Meng Chuan, possessing some knowledge himself, felt as though this place was akin to the purgatory described in the ancient Roman Divine Melody.
Between heaven and hell, where mortals bear the test of their souls for sins committed in life.
In the Divine Melody, it is recorded that only when a soul is purified in purgatory can it ascend to heaven.
The burning sensation of his soul at this moment is indeed a trial...
At the same time, a sense of urgency surged in Meng Chuan’s heart.
The Dharma Realm of the Dragon Arhat cannot trap Fang Jianxing for long.
Once Fang Jianxing escapes, the power of Zhongjin City alone cannot stop him.
Trying to capture him again in the future would be difficult...
He has witnessed today just how slippery and tenacious Fang Jianxing is.
Regarding Fang Jianxing’s final words "Principal Yin," Meng Chuan had some suspicions but did not dare assume.
Now that Fang Jianxing can say it out loud, even if he was deceiving him, he must know something.
"I must hurry to get out..."
...
Scanning his surroundings, while investigating the environment, his spirit once again attempted to establish a connection with the Dragon Magic.
If the Dragon Magic dies, it will reassemble into a mass of black qi within his body.
Through the cultivation of Cyan Netherworld Dragon Lock, it will be nurtured again.
At this moment, his middle dantian was empty as if devoid of anything.
Proving that the Dragon Magic was alive and well after being thrown in.
Gradually, his spiritual power clawed its way like a kitten climbing a wall, presenting a new scene in his mind, bringing joy to Meng Chuan’s expression.
The Dragon Magic’s perspective magnified in his mind; while taking control of Dragon Magic’s body, he slowly reached toward that direction.
Like controlling a toy car with a joystick, once the distance exceeds control range, the Dragon Magic remains motionless.
With his current spiritual power, nothing will be "out of control" within ten thousand meters.
This is precisely for safer exploration of this world and finding an exit.
He deeply suspected that the space within this strange object was similar to a Dharma Realm, where the exit itself posed the greatest danger...
Perspective shift.
Meng Chuan saw the sulfur-colored earth extending endlessly into the distance, with dark red light seeping through the cracked fissures, like solidified blood scabs.
No wind, no sound, only the slight ripples of air twisted by the intense heat.
The Dragon Magic’s barely solidified scales were tightened and dried by the hot wind.
Everything here seemed long burned to ashes.
Only pure "existence" remained, like discarded drafts of the Fire God.
Dead silence.
Absolute dead silence.
Meng Chuan controlled the Dragon Magic to stand still, scratching its whiskers with its dragon claw, displaying an incongruous thoughtful expression...
"Nothing out here, shouldn’t be..."
Let’s call the magma pool just now the "lower level."
Prey fall into the lower level, decomposed by lava leaving only bone residue.
The body is gone, where did the soul go?
According to Meng Chuan’s guess, shouldn’t it come here?
Could it be...
"Is there a soul-eating monster raised by Fang Jianxing here?"
If he feeds the "monster," and it consumes everything, it makes sense.
Meng Chuan’s expression softened, involuntarily gripping his Fist Blade tightly.
Pressed for time, he now understood the situation.
Find that "monster" and eliminate it.
Meng Chuan steadied himself, continuing to control the Dragon Magic to roam the land, suddenly sensing an unusual presence.
His expression tightened as he followed the fluctuations of the presence.
Yet it seemed that presence also noticed the Dragon Magic, drawing closer and the scent becoming stronger.
A moment later, in the Dragon Magic’s perspective, a "monster" emerged from the horizon.
"What on earth is this..."
Meng Chuan was dumbfounded.
A long horse-headed serpent-bodied creature, with four limbs running upright on two legs toward him.
It was even flicking its forked tongue!
What a stitched-together monster...
At least it’s a living thing, Meng Chuan controlled the Dragon Magic to approach while flipping through his memory, seemingly uncovering some information.
Since obtaining the Secret Technique of Searching Mountains to Subdue Demons from the Tiger King of the forest in the symbolic world.
Meng Chuan spent some time researching the True Meaning of Elephant Form Sect cultivation—Beast King Map.
Although it was a rough overview, the Elephant Form Sect depicted numerous bizarre-looking beasts, odd and outlandish like the mythical creatures recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
This creature in front of him...
Meng Chuan first thought of the "Huai" upon flipping through the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Within the Snake Form Sect, all fist skills related to the Huai are above True Skill level.
Several Divine Skill ultimate studies have heavily referenced the Huai’s shape and existence concept.
In the realm of Snake Form Fist, it holds a position equivalent to a "Divine Beast" worshipped by the Immortal Sect.
Of course, the Huai in front of him looks slightly abstract...
But using the Huai described in the Beast King Map as an anchor, comparing it to the one in front of Dragon Magic, it increasingly seemed similar...
So... why is there a Huai here?
The Huai has many references in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
