Chapter 747

Just as Han Li and the Weeping Soul were about to charge into the passageway, the sound of something tearing through the air suddenly resounded!

Su Liu's figure flashed through the air again, and the huge axe in his hand blurred slightly before transforming into a dense series of axe projections. Black Qi revolved around the axe as they furiously chopped down toward Han Li and Liu Li.

Han Li was just about to swing his sword to meet the attack when an unbelievable scene occurred!

Su Liu's originally aggressive figure suddenly froze in place as if he couldn't move at all. The axe shadows that filled the sky also froze.

Upon closer inspection, one could see threads of black mist flowing out of Su Liu's mouth and nose. The hole in his chest was also occupied by a ball of black mist that restrained the metal ball and prevented it from moving.

"Master, let's go!" the Weeping Soul shouted and charged into the passageway with Han Li.

In the next instant, the black ghost vines that covered the sky and the earth arrived. They instantly covered Magic Light's body and covered the entrance of the passageway.

"Boom boom boom!"

Half of the mountain wall shook violently. Rocks rolled down like a landslide.

The entrance of the passageway was buried by the vines.

Han Li and the Weeping Soul only felt the space behind them tremble violently. They had no time to look back and could only rush to the other end of the passageway.

After entering the suddenly narrowed passageway, the surrounding black karmic fire immediately surged towards them twice as a fiendish aura that was several times stronger seeped into the Weeping Soul's spirit domain. Han Li immediately felt as if his mind was being pricked by needles.

He gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound. Giant waves surged in his sea of consciousness, and a bloody mist seemed to fill the air. A wave of madness and fury immediately assaulted him, causing him to feel incredibly irritated.

The Weeping Soul noticed Han Li's abnormality. The dark red light on its body grew brighter and brighter as it led Han Li through the passageway.

However, the deeper they went into the passageway, the thicker the surrounding karmic fire became. The fiendish aura it contained became purer, and the pain it brought Han Li became more and more obvious.

"The closer we get to the soul cleansing area, the purer the karmic fire and the stronger the corrosive power it contains.

I have to focus all my attention on controlling Spirit Realm, so I'm afraid I won't have the time to take care of you, master. Be careful, "the Weeping Soul Beast warned.

"Don't worry about me," Han Li said in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, he'd already circulated the Soul Refinement Arts with all his might, but his mind still couldn't help but become dizzy, and his heartbeat grew faster and faster like the beating of a war drum. The blood in his body surged madly without end, and the baleful qi that lay dormant in his apertures seemed to have started to become restless.

In his sea of consciousness, there was no longer a blood-red mist. Instead, there were countless faintly discernible blood-red figures. They were madly colliding with each other as if they were on a battlefield, accompanied by horrifying screams and roars. He could even smell the slightly sweet smell of blood in his breath. If he was an ordinary person, he would have already fallen into madness.

He was afraid that before they reached the Evil Cleansing Pond, he would not be able to hold on.

An anxious expression appeared on the Weeping Soul Beast's face as it reminded, "We're almost there. Master, hold on a little longer."

At this moment, Han Li's vision gradually became blurry, and his eyes became darker and darker. The apertures in his body also began to change.

If it weren't for the Nether Soul Worms eroding his spirit, he might have been able to hold on by relying on his powerful spirit and the Soul Refinement Art. But now, he really couldn't hold on. When his spirit was completely lost, he wouldn't be able to use the Soul Refinement Art anymore.

If the Evil Decay took advantage of this situation and acted up, he would probably be completely reduced to a Rat Immortal.

At this moment, a red light suddenly flashed in front of Han Li's brow. A scarlet light shone, and it was the Weeping Soul Beast holding a red bead the size of a longan in its hand. It pressed it against the center of his brow.

The bead was smooth and round, and its surface glowed with a glossy luster. There was a small beast shadow in the shape of a crawling beast inside, and it looked like it was the Weeping Soul Beast's true form.

As the bead began to release bursts of gentle light, a burst of peculiar spiritual power seeped into Han Li's sea of consciousness. It was as if a gargantuan hand were slowly flattening the gargantuan waves within his sea of consciousness and dispelling the vast expanse of blood mist that had permeated the air.

The abnormalities in Han Li's sea of consciousness gradually calmed down, and he circulated the Soul Refinement Art at full force to resist the invasion of the Evil Qi again.

His spirit regained its clarity, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he noticed that the Weeping Soul Beast's face was slightly pale. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Weeping Soul Beast, you …"

The Weeping Soul Beast's face was slightly pale, and it shook its head as it said, "It's fine. This bead is where my Soul Origin resides. I'll be able to recover after some rest after returning it to my body."

Han Li's heart stirred slightly, and he started to guard his spirit tightly without saying anything else.

The passageway of Karmic Fire wasn't very long, and they arrived at the end after just over 3km. The other end of the passageway was several hundred meters tall, and it was like an open trumpet. However, there weren't any restrictions set up in it.

The Weeping Soul Beast brought Han Li out of the passageway, and they arrived at an incomparably huge underground lake of Karmic Fire.

The two of them flew up and hovered above the Karmic Fire, and they looked around in all directions.

The sky above the dome was pitch-black, and there were many pitch-black stalactites that looked like crystals hanging everywhere. There were many huge stone pillars that were hundreds of meters tall in the surrounding Karmic Fire lake, and they were connected to the dome.

At the edge of the lake in the distance, there was a circle of embankments that surrounded the lake, and there were almost a hundred roads connected to the surrounding mountain walls in a radial shape.

There were neatly built doorways on the mountain walls, and it looked like a huge underground palace. However, it was slightly empty inside, and unexpectedly, there were no soldiers lying in ambush.

"It seems that Ghost Tree didn't notify the Soul Cleansing Area before he chased after us," Han Li said as he withdrew his gaze.

"The Karmic Fire Passageway here has collapsed, and the Dark Ruins Elder guarding this area will soon find out even without his notice," the Weeping Soul Beast said with a tight frown.

At this moment, a whisper that was as soft as a mosquito suddenly sounded from one of the doorways on the mountain wall.

When Han Li heard this, he grabbed the Weeping Soul Beast's hand and floated to the nearby embankment in a flash. He concealed his presence and hid in one of the doorways, and he turned his body sideways to investigate the situation outside.

He saw two Nine Nether tribesmen floating out of the doorway and arriving at the shore of the Karmic Fire Lake.

The two of them wore identical black robes, and their appearance and figure were almost identical. Even the sway of their bodies when they moved forward was similar, and they looked like a pair of twins.

"Little Brother Lian, although the elder said that there's an important matter in the city today, and no one is supervising us, and we can stop cultivating for a day, we're already ten years old, and we'll be adults in a few years. If we don't cultivate now, we won't be able to pass the final test," the taller child said.

"Brother Yin, I'm about to get calluses from your words. You can only stand out if you don't stop cultivating.

Don't worry, I won't be surpassed by Yin Chang, "the other Nine Nether tribesman said with a grin.

Compared to the mature Nine Nether tribesmen, the expressions on the faces of these two children were quite different, and they didn't look as disgusting.

As the two spoke, they sat down on the shore of the Karmic Fire Lake with their legs crossed, and they made a strange hand seal. Bright black light shone from their bodies, and wisps of pure baleful Qi rose from the Karmic Fire Lake before wrapping around their bodies.

As they inhaled and exhaled, two wisps of black Qi would emerge from their nostrils, and they would constantly expand and contract like earthworms.

"They're only ten years old, but their auras are already close to the Core Formation Stage, and they're able to cultivate so close to the Karmic Fire. These Nine Nether tribesmen really are fearsome," Han Li said in a low voice.

"The Nine Nether tribesmen have a higher tolerance for Karmic Fire than other tribes, and they're also very talented. These two children are only below average," the Weeping Soul Beast said.

Han Li withdrew his body and walked deeper into the passageway with the Weeping Soul Beast. With a wave of his hand, a silver door of light appeared.

Bai Liyan, Hu San, and the others were sitting cross-legged on the first floor of the bamboo building with their eyes closed, and they all opened their eyes and stood up.

Apotheon Hot Flame was bound by a silver chain, and his body was trembling slightly, but he couldn't make any sound. It turned out that his mouth was also sealed by a purple talisman.

Chi Rong was leaning against the wall beside him with a bitter expression, and he looked at Han Li with a complicated expression.

"What's going on?" Han Li asked when he saw Bai Liyan walk out first.

"He's been corroded by the baleful Qi for too long, and he's lost his mind. He suddenly flared up, and Hu San and Fellow Daoist Shi restrained him," Bai Liyan explained.

Hu San also walked out with a frown, and said, "Judging from his condition, if he flares up again, his cultivation will be completely ruined, and he'll truly become a Rat Immortal."

After hearing this, Han Li pondered for a moment, but he didn't say anything.

As soon as they left Flowery Branch Paradise, Hu San and the others frowned, and they immediately activated their methods to resist the baleful Qi. At the same time, they hastily used a spell to conceal themselves.

Han Li closed the silver door and said, "We should be in the Soul Cleansing Area now. This area is the most special among all the major areas of Asura City. Even the Weeping Soul Beast has only come here a few times, and the topography of this area isn't marked on the map. How should we find the fiend cleansing pond? Do you have any suggestions?"

Shi Chuankong glanced at them through the passageway and said, "Aren't there two children over there? Won't we know after capturing them and searching their souls?"

Bai Liyan shook his head and slowly said, "Last time, killing a puppet alerted the Yin Chi. Who knows if there are any special restrictions on the bodies of the Nine Nether clansmen, or if there is any special connection between them?

We can't take this risk, "Bai Liyan said slowly while shaking his head.

Han Li opened his mouth, and just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Master, what's wrong?" The Weeping Soul Beast knew that Han Li's Fiend Decline had flared up, and it hurriedly asked.

"Fellow Daoist Li …" Bai Liyan's expression also changed slightly, and he said.

"That's right, where is Fellow Daoist Magic Light?" Shi Chuankong asked with a frown.

"Just now, the connection between me and Magic Light was completely severed … I tried to communicate with him, but I couldn't sense him at all," Han Li said while shaking his head.

"What?" Shi Chuankong said in surprise.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Magic Light has already died …" Hu San said with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Just now, he said that he would help us delay for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. No matter what, he has already done it …" Han Li didn't give an accurate answer, and he only said this.

When everyone heard this, they all became silent.
