Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 747 - 342: Deeper into the Furnace (Part 2)

Zhao Jie regretfully said, "What a pity, it’s highly likely possible. The pain ritual is merely a means of appeasement; the true value lies in having killed a Heroic Spirit."

"Then this will be troublesome," Chu Xiu murmured to himself.

He didn’t say much, but the other two understood his meaning.

In Peng City, the Murder Ghost has added quite a few more "achievements," and the Outer Realm Demons, in order to preserve this "sharp blade," will certainly not let the Murder Ghost die easily.

As a result, who knows to what extent his strength will be enhanced.

Even in Chu Xiu’s heart, doubts began to arise.

Zhao Jie looked at the two of them, pondered for a while, and said, "Brother Qin, do not worry. With the cooperation of our talents, we have a fighting chance even against a Demigod, let alone a Murder Ghost who is restrained by me."

Jiang Miaoyin also said, "Indeed, my Curse Spirit has almost recovered and can also provide assistance."

The four families are closely connected. She and Zhang Changchuan have known each other since childhood, and although not close friends or confidants, they are familiar friends. Seeing her friend in such a tragic state has made her extremely furious.

After pondering for a while, Chu Xiu also nodded, choosing not to say more.

He had two life-saving cards to protect himself, so naturally, he was not afraid of the Murder Ghost.

Next, Zhao Jie opened the dark red pupil on his forehead and began to replay the past scenes.

After a while, he opened his eyes and sneered, "This guy is quite clever. He sensed the spatial fluctuations in the distance being triggered and ran away immediately."

Saying this, Zhao Jie stood up, went to the bottom of the cave at a stone wall, formed a few Spiritual Lights with hand seals, and instantly the stone wall became illusory, revealing a passage leading further in.

"Let’s go."

Chu Xiu summoned Garuda, and the three of them immediately sped down the passage.

The passage was obviously excavated later and led outside. The three of them only chased for a few seconds before leaving this corridor and entering the interconnected "main road."

Zhao Jie scanned the area quickly and locked onto one of the paths.

This was a road leading further in. After chasing for a while, they discovered that the Murder Ghost had changed paths again, seemingly trying to shake them off by constantly taking detours.

"Naive."

Zhao Jie sneered disdainfully; the tricks of the Murder Ghost were as good as non-existent under the Divine Techniques that could see through the past.

But unfortunately, Zhao Jie’s Talent eventually needed time to be displayed, which led to Garuda being unable to fly at full speed. The Murder Ghost, having become a Heroic Spirit, was not slow either, and the three of them couldn’t catch up.

After chasing for over ten minutes, the opponent seemed to realize this as well, no longer zigzagging, suddenly diving into a downward passage and significantly increasing speed!

Although called a passage, it was more aptly described as an Abyss, with a diameter exceeding two thousand meters, resembling a hollow giant rod leading to the deepest part of the furnace.

They chased down, feeling the Yin Qi around them growing thicker, and after pursuing for about half an hour, its concentration was almost approaching the outer layer of the Twilight Realm!

This made the faces of the three rather grave.

They seemed to know the Murder Ghost’s destination.

"This beast is truly crazy," Zhao Jie cursed.

Chu Xiu’s expression was also somewhat heavy.

The direction of the Murder Ghost’s actions, without deviation, was rushing all the way to the very bottom of the furnace!

Although the terrain of the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace is intricate and complex, the overall shape is furnace-like, meaning that seeking a Pocket World where Yin Qi converges is difficult, but it’s quite easy to charge all the way to the bottom of the furnace! You don’t even need to find the right path; just head downward, and you will naturally arrive at the furnace’s bottom!

And the bottom of the furnace is also the place where the world’s Yin Qi converges the most!

Everyone knows this, but many explorers still choose to explore the Demon-Exorcising Race cities and seek those so-called Pocket Worlds, simply because the bottom of the furnace is extremely dangerous!

"Two thousand years ago, a Heroic Ghost dwelled there! And several Heroic Spirits have perished there!"

"Two thousand years have passed; without the Demon-Exorcising Race’s intervention, a massive amount of Yin Qi continuously descends to the bottom. There must be more than one Heroic Ghost growing there. Even a Demigod appearing wouldn’t be surprising!"

Chu Xiu may be able to confront a Demigod now, but he wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could confront a Demigod Ghost here.

Never mind a Demigod Ghost; even a Heroic Ghost, thinking of those giant Ghosts in the Twilight Realm, Chu Xiu had no confidence in victory.

The Yin Qi environment at the bottom of the furnace would be ten, a hundred times more terrifying than in the Twilight Realm! In that sort of environment, Chu Xiu’s own combat power would be greatly reduced and would have to rely on Ghosts.

But how could the Ghost Kings he’s just recently refined be a match for those that have absorbed two thousand years of Yin Qi?

Not to mention, in such a dense Yin Qi environment, his Ghost Kings could even turn against him in a moment of betrayal!

So, knowing it’s the biggest opportunity there, he still hadn’t ventured to explore.

The three of them all had grim faces, but they couldn’t just give up here; they had to brace themselves and continue pursuing.

"Trying to shake us off with the Ghosts here? Ha, better not get eaten by them first!" Zhao Jie snorted coldly, the blood light on his forehead growing even more vivid.

The three dared not venture to the furnace bottom, nor did they believe the Murder Ghost dared! It was nothing more than a game of chicken.

They pursued for nearly another hour, and by now, the surrounding Yin Qi concentration had even surpassed that of the inner layer of the Twilight Realm!

Chu Xiu still felt alright, first because his Constitution was remarkable, and second, after his Divine Soul transformation, his resistance to Yin Qi had also improved significantly.
