"Before coming here, I had looked up information about the Nine Nether Tribe and was quite interested in a certain rumor.
It is said that there is a naturally formed pit of Karmic Fire in Asura City. Every member of the Nine Nether Race is placed in the pit of Karmic Fire to receive baptism upon birth, which is also known as soul cleansing, "Bai Liyan said slowly.
"A newborn child is placed in the Karmic Fire … How is that possible?" Shi Chuang Kong exclaimed.
"The cultivators of the Dust World rely on baleful aura to survive. Their tolerance for Karmic Fire is incomparable to ours.
Moreover, they don't directly throw the baby into the Karmic Fire, but let the baby live near it.
When the baby reaches the age of 12, they would be placed in the Karmic Fire to undergo Soul Cleansing. Only those who are able to endure the Karmic Fire are qualified to become a member of the Nine Nether Tribe, "Bai Li Yan explained.
"No wonder there are so few members of the Nine Nether Tribe. Most of them are Nether Slaves …" Hu San said thoughtfully.
"When I was in the courtyard earlier, I sensed an extremely powerful Hellfire aura. I believe the Hellfire pit is below the courtyard," Bai Liyan said after some thought.
"If the rumor is true, the Karmic Fire Pit should be in the Soul Cleansing District. How could it be in the Luosheng District?" Shi Chuang Kong asked doubtfully.
"There's nothing strange about it. We don't even know the size of the Karmic Fire Pit. Perhaps it runs through the Soul Cleansing District and Luosheng District," Magic Light said with a smile.
"It's also possible that the Nine Nether Tribe deliberately opened a fire path to refine a Karmic Fire Treasure and drew it into the Luosheng District.
No matter what, we might have to go underground to find out, "Han Li suddenly said.
"Fellow Daoist Li, are you thinking of entering the Soul Cleansing District through the Karmic Fire Pit?" Bai Li Yan asked with a raised brow.
"That's right.
Since it's very likely that we'll be alerted by Grand Luo Realm existences, why not try our luck underground? "Han Li nodded.
"This … I've long heard that Karmic Fire is dangerous, but we're not the Nine Nether Tribe. Do we really have to go through it?" Shi Chuang Kong asked worriedly.
He was especially worried about the baleful aura invading his body, so he was even more afraid of the baleful aura.
Han Li looked at Baili Yan and asked, "Fellow Baili, you should have the most experience with this. Do you have any way to avoid it?"
"I presume all of you are aware that baleful energy and Karmic Fire originate from the same source, but the manifestation is different.
In reality, even if they were both Karmic Flames, the Karmic Flames that were born by the heavens and the Karmic Flames that one evolved from would be different.
The underground karmic fire seemed to have a burning power. Not only did it burn the skin, but it also burned the soul.
We can use magic treasures to protect our physical bodies, but there aren't many methods we can use with our souls. Most of the time, we'll have to rely on the strength of our souls to forcefully resist. "Bai Li Yan nodded and said.
"In other words, there's no way to avoid it, and we can only endure it?" Fox Three sighed.
"Not necessarily. If there's a Graded Celestial Soul Weapon, we can try to use it. With everyone's joint efforts, we might be able to guarantee the safety of our Souls." Bai Liyan shook his head and said.
"I have such a treasure, and I can take it out for everyone to use together," Han Li said after pondering for a while.
After saying that, he raised his finger and pointed at the center of his eyebrows. A white rune appeared on his forehead, and it was accompanied by a powerful Divine Sense.
It was the Imperial Peak Spirit Suppressing Talisman in his sea of consciousness.
This force was very strange. It only enveloped a small area, but it caused Hu San and the others' expressions to change.
"Fellow Li, with such a powerful Divine Sense, could it be that you've cultivated the Spirit Cultivation Art to the fifth level?" Bai Liyan asked with a complicated expression.
"That's right.
Fellow Bai Li, can you see if this Imperial Peak Spirit Suppressing Talisman can be used as a Celestial Soul Weapon? "Han Li nodded and asked.
His Divine Sense was so powerful that everyone forgot to look at the talisman. Instead, their attention was focused on his Divine Sense. After being reminded by him, everyone came to their senses.
"This treasure is extraordinary, and your Divine Sense is powerful enough. With everyone's joint efforts, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. I wonder what's the situation underground?" Bai Liyan looked at Han Li with a worried expression.
Hu San narrowed his eyes and suggested, "I have a suggestion. Why don't we disguise ourselves as members of the Nine Nether Tribe and enter the underground?"
Shi Chuankong frowned and shook his head. "No, the aura of the Nine Nether Tribe is unique. It's not something we can disguise ourselves as. If we're exposed on the spot, wouldn't we be walking into a trap?"
Hu San chuckled and said, "We can't disguise ourselves using ordinary methods, but if we have this, it might not be impossible."
As he spoke, a light flashed in his hand, and several pure white fox tails appeared. The fur on the tails stood on end, and they glowed with a translucent luster. They looked like jade-like velvet.
However, the stench of a fox coming from them was quite strong, and the surrounding people couldn't help wrinkling their noses.
Shi Chuankong frowned and stared at them for a moment. Then, he suddenly called out, "This is … a Jade Heaven Fox Tail?"
"Brother Shi is quite knowledgeable … Yes, this is indeed a Jade Heaven Fox Tail. Moreover, it was shed by a Grand Immortal Senior of my tribe.
Let me say this in advance. I'm only borrowing it, and I'll have to return it after we're done, "Hu San said with a smug expression.
"The Jade Heaven Fox Tail isn't just an illusionary secret treasure. It also has a bewitching effect. If you have such an item, you can give it a try, Fellow Daoist Hu San," Bai Liyan said with a faint smile.
"Since that's the case, we shouldn't delay any longer. Let's take action immediately," Han Li said.
In the following period of time, Fox Three distributed the Jade Heaven Fox Tail to everyone and explained how to use it. After that, everyone endured the strong smell and changed their bodies.
However, after activating the treasure, the stench disappeared without a trace at the same time.
Since the aura of Magic Light and Bai Liyan had already reached the realm of Grand Immortal, they transformed into the real people of the Nine Nether Tribe. Meanwhile, Han Li and the other two transformed into three Spirit Slaves and followed behind them obediently.
As they spoke, they no longer hid themselves. They directly flew into the sky and flew toward the ring-shaped building.
In the courtyard, several people of the Japanese tribe were examining the traces left behind by the explosion. The leader of the group nodded repeatedly, seemingly quite satisfied with the power of the explosion.
Seeing that Han Li and the others descended from the sky and stopped in front of them, the Japanese tribe members who were already short had no choice but to look up. They bowed respectfully and said, "Welcome, Sirs."
Bai Liyan and Magic Light just nodded indifferently. Neither of them said anything.
When the Japanese tribe members saw this, cold sweat flowed down their foreheads. They didn't dare to speak for a moment. The square was silent.
Just when Bai Liyan couldn't help but speak, the leader of the Japanese tribe took the initiative to apologize.
"Please forgive us, Sirs. The two thieves from the Realm of True Immortals refused to cooperate. As a result, the experiment of the Hellfire Killing Thunder was only completed today.
However, Sirs, please rest assured that in three days, we will be able to produce a batch. Its power will definitely meet your requirements. "
When Han Li and the others heard this, they were all moved.
"Let's go down and take a look," Bai Liyan ordered calmly.
"Yes."
The Japanese tribe member quickly responded and led the way. The rest of them followed behind Han Li and the others.
There was a rumbling sound on the ground. A passageway leading downwards slowly extended and a strong Hellfire Killing Qi suddenly rushed out.
Following the passageway, they walked for about a thousand feet and came to a huge underground hall.
As they entered the underground hall, waves of scorching heat billowed outwards, wrapping in a thick infernal energy. Besides Demonshine and Bai Liyan, everyone else found it particularly difficult to bear.
When he thought about how uncomfortable it was before entering the Hellfire, Han Li doubted whether he had made the right decision.
Fortunately, after adapting for a while, the strange feeling of being shaken by the Killing Qi gradually subsided. Although there was still a feeling of discomfort, it was not as unbearable as before.
In the empty underground hall, dozens of armored Infernal Slaves floated in the air on both sides. As they saw Demonshine and Baili Yan, their indifferent expressions didn't change. Instead, they all bowed towards them in greeting.
"Lead the way." The two of them didn't even look at them and just gave an order.
The Japanese tribe member immediately led them through the hall and walked deeper. The further they went, the clearer the "ding dong" sounds of hammering became.
After walking through a passageway that wasn't very long, a huge underground hall appeared on both sides. Inside, there were faint flames and figures. A large number of Japanese tribe members were working hard to forge magic weapons.
Han Li stole a glance and saw that there was a huge furnace in each hall. Black flames were rolling inside and the heat waves were scorching. What was burning were extremely pure Hellfire.
They walked all the way to the door of a hall in the middle. The Japanese tribe member stopped and said, "My Lord, please take a look.
"Milord, please take a look. The Hellfire Fiend Thunder is being refined quickly."
Magic Light and Bai Liyan walked in first, and Han Li and the others followed behind.
They saw that the area of the hall was several times larger than they had seen before. There were many areas in the middle, and nearly a hundred Japanese tribe members were scattered in the middle. Each of them was immersed in their work.
They didn't seem to notice the arrival of Han Li and the others. No one stopped what they were doing. Only a True Immortal Realm Spirit Slave came forward and saluted Magic Light and Bai Liyan.
There was a huge furnace in the middle of the hall, and balls of black flames danced about. Beside it, there were Nihon clansmen, who were fully armed and even wore masks on their faces. They held containers with extremely long handles in their hands, and they carefully fished out balls of black Hellfire from the furnace.
At this time, a "bang" sound was heard. A Japanese tribe member had accidentally knocked the container on the edge of the furnace. The Hellfire inside the container suddenly spilled out. It gathered into a line of fire and flowed toward Han Li and the others.
When the Japanese tribe member saw this, his face was immediately filled with panic. He quickly bent over to retrieve the flame. As a result, the Spirit Slave shook his wrist and took out a long whip that was wrapped in black flames. Then, the Spirit Slave heavily whipped the Japanese tribe member's face.
A crisp "pa" sound was heard!
The mask on the Japanese tribe member's face suddenly broke, and a hideous scorched black bloodstain appeared on his face.
Green smoke rose from his face, but he didn't dare to make a sound. He continued to chase after the Hellfire.
