206 The Infernal Demon Beas (1/2)
Ye Yin and Yi Ping had quickly followed the sniff of cool air until they had reached a burning cavern.
The air was thick with fumes and it was suffocating.
Yi Ping was sweating heavily and he was feeling the burning pressure of the burning formation. He had become solemn, ”Are we reaching the end soon? The intensity of this formation seems to be increasing rather than lessening!”
Even Ye Yin had lost her earlier conviction, ”I don't know…”
Yi Ping had turned around to look at the rest of the groups. Half of them were now struggling to walk weakly.
Yixian, Youxue, Yu'Er and Mei'Er had displayed the Divine Emerald Skill as they kept the burning flames from scorching the rest of the group.
The group was struggling to resist the suffocating heat of the fires with their internal strength with varying degree of success. The ones with weaker internal strength would sweat more.
At this moment even though Yi Ping was sweating profusely, his breathing was normal and he was as alert as ever!
Lingfeng cast him a miserable look, ”Why is that you don't seem to be affected much, am I right?”
Yi Ping smiled weakly, ”Who says so?”
The Goddess Celestial Alice smiled, ”At least you are faring better than most of us. If I am not wrong, the kirin blood in his veins has rendered him better in resisting the heat than many of us.”
Lingfeng asked her, ”Then what about you? You are barely sweating at all.”
The Goddess Celestial Alice smiled weakly, ”You have no idea how miserable I am feeling now.”
The rest of the group was quiet. It was because their entire focus on the circulation of their internal energies channels to resist the fiery and suffocating flames of the Divine Purgatory Fire Formation!
Yixian said, ”Ping'Er, I think we are reaching the epicenter of the formation now. I am sensing a strong killing emanation that is coming from that cave.”
The Great Desolate Goddess Nuwa smiled wryly, ”It seems that this cool air is nothing but a ruse to lure us and is generated when the inner formation began to move. Everyone be careful. The epicenter of the formation is the most formidable and also the most dangerous.”
Ye Yin cursed softly, ”I am sorry! It is all my fault…”
Yi Ping said gently, ”Ye Yin. Don't take it too hard. All of us have no idea either.”
Xingyue nodded, ”That is right. None of us know better so don't take it to heart. Ping'Er, shall we turn back now?”
Yi Ping smiled bitterly, ”It is too late now. We are completely surrounded by the fires now except for this cave…”
Indeed the purgatory fires were now blazing all around them!
Youxue smiled as she raised her divine sword in a brilliant flash as she slashed to and fro against the purgatory fires. Immediately the fires began to extinguish!
Everyone was startled!
Yi Ping was startled, ”Xue'Er, you can extinguish the fire?”
The Great Desolate Goddess Nuwa exclaimed with a hopeful look, ”It seems that her Divine Nine Cauldron Sword is able to extinguish even the purgatory fires.”
Youxue nodded, ”It appears to be the case. I am just experimenting. If the Divine Icefire Skill is able to render myself invulnerability to the purgatory fire then I suspect that the Divine Nine Cauldron of which my divine skill is originated may be able to contain the purgatory fires. It seems that I am not wrong.”
The Great Desolate Goddess Nuwa nodded, ”Right. It is after all an immortal artefact from the chaotic desolate era. While I don't expect the purgatory fire to affect it but I didn't know that it is able to contain the purgatory fire.”
Lingfeng smiled, ”Then let's hurry and get out of here!”
Yi Ping said, ”Wait Lingfeng. Why don't we barge into this cave?”
Lingfeng looked at him with a reprimand look, ”Did the heat make you crazy?”
Yi Ping rubbed his nose, ”There are two ways for us to escape from this formation. One is to find a way out while the second way is to destroy the epicenter of the formation itself. We are so close now to the epicenter now. Why don't we destroy the epicenter of the formation and in no time we will be out of here?”
The Great Desolate Goddess Nuwa laughed jovially, ”That is what I am thinking too. So let's barge into that cave!”
Lingfeng panicked said, ”Wait a minute. What will be in that cave?”
The Great Desolate Goddess Nuwa pondered briefly before she smiled, ”It is an Infernal Demon Beast.”
The Sacred Embodied Heavenly Goddess smiled weakly, ”What do you mean by that it is just an Infernal Demon Beast? I don't want to mess with that thing!”
Just as Yi Ping wanted to ask for the description of the infernal demon beast, the fire began to burn with increasing fury!
The Goddess Celestial Alice smiled weakly, ”It is too late now. It has come!”
Indeed a blazing fireball had burst forth from the cave and exploded in front of them!
Yi Ping quickly unsheathed his Fantian Sovereign Sword and the Celestial Alice Divine Sword as he parried the exploding fireballs hastily!
The Celestial Fairy Yixian quickly displayed the Eternal Heavenly Tears with her Divine Emerald Force via the Absolute Defense as she sent the flying fireballs away from the group!
A gigantic fire salamander had emerged from the fire and ashes; its presence was towering and terrifying!
No sooner did it appear, it began an earthshattering roar as it sent dozens of fireballs to spin from its mouth in all directions with maddening speed!
Yu'Er and Mei'Er immediately raised their divine swords to display the Divine Emerald Force to dissipate the fireballs!
The Lord Supreme raised his fingers to dissipate a fireball with his martial force while the Immortal Saint of Swords displayed his white and black swords!
Immediately the Lord Supreme turned ashen as he coughed out a bout of blood!
The Universal Old Man exploded a fireball with his Ultrapowerful Force as he stumbled a few steps back with startled shock, ”It is…formidable…”
The Skylord Jun punched a fireball away from the Universal Old Man as he said solemnly, ”That is right. Brother, it is dangerous to even touch these fireballs. The Infernal Demon Beast is enveloped by an aura of demonic Fire and these fireballs are the very essence of its demonic fires. It is far stronger than the purgatory fires that are here!”
The Fiery Phoenix Xingyue had immediately raised her Blue Heavens with lightning speed as she flashed through the bursting fire blitzes as she mustered her Divine Rejuvenation Force, dissipating fireballs after fireballs!
She thought, ”My sword is able to parry these demonic fireballs so effortlessly? Or rather, it is absorbing these demonic fireballs?”
Youxue raised her sword with her Divine Emerald Force and exploded a chain of fireballs that had descended onto her, saving Han Lin and the Goddess Aiel!
Han Lin gasped weakly, ”Thank you…”
The Goddess Aiel coughed weakly, ”I can't see properly with these fumes all around me…”
Han Lin collapsed on her, ”Mistress…you are an immortal…you suppose to use your senses…”
The Goddess Aiel smiled weakly, ”Han Lin. Do you know that when the body is weak, it will also affect your senses?”
Han Lin coughed softly, ”Mistress, no wonder our Celestial Aiel Sect is so weak…”
The Goddess Aiel said exasperatingly, ”What do you mean?”
Han Lin smiled weakly, ”Because our great leader here is always so weak…”
The Goddess Asura raised her staff protectively over Han Lin and the Goddess Aiel as she said solemnly, ”This is not the time to joke around. We have got a formidable opponent to fight now!”
Yunzi had raised the White Phoenix Divine Sword and displaying it into a flying sword as it burst through several chains of fireballs and her sword had pierced through the forehead of the Infernal Demon Beast, sending it into an enraging howl that stirred up the fumes and fires around them with an even greater fury!
Lie Qing had displayed twelve hovering blue wisps around her and raising the sword energy level of her Eternal Light Divine Sword as she stood coolly onto the ground, withstanding one explosive fireball after another!
Yi Si called out panicky behind her, ”Aunt Lie Qing!”
Lele halted her, ”She will be alright. We will be safe behind her.”
Yi Si gasped, ”But…you are not helping her?”
Lele smiled as she fingered with her long black scythe and the Divine Echo Divine Sword, ”Young lass. No but. Just watch. Lie Qing is more formidable than your father. She just did not want to display her true martial level. Have you seen her Twelfth Level of her Invincible Divine Force? Here is your chance. ”
Yi Si smiled weakly as she looked at her mother as she thought, ”My mother calling me a young lass when she don't look much older than me. It is hard to believe when Grandpa had told me that my mother is actually four centuries old…”
She looked at the iron grip of her mother's long black scythe and at her divine sword. She knew that the weapons that were in her mother's hands were extremely heavy. Her grandpa had told her that Lele's specialty was her dual swords and that her long black scythe was made of black celestium metal and contained two curved swords. It was several times heavier than steel and only a highly accomplished internal strength practitioner could wield that long scythe.
This was confirmed by her father who had told her that his dual wielding skill was actually taught by Lele and Yunzi at the same time when they were alone in a valley.
Lele had also never stopped training her formidable Celestial Force for a single day!
Yi Si knew that her mother's Celestial Force was formidable because the first thing that Lele had requested from her daughter was to test her martial skills!
She was expecting her mother to praise her but instead she got a rebukes, ”Too weak and you need more guile.”
These few days, she must admit that she certainly learnt more techniques and strokes than in her entire lifetime!
Lie Qing had suddenly turned around to smile at her, stroking her long braided hair as she laughed mesmerizing. ”I have thought that these fireballs will be painful. If I know that these fireballs will be so weak, I will not display the full martial level of my Invincible Divine Force.”
Yi Si muttered, ”Aunt Lie Qing, you are so formidable…”
Lele raised her hands to dissipate one fireball with her Celestial Force as she smiled, ”That is nothing. Our Celestial Force is certainly better than her Invincible Divine Force. After all, I can ascend as an Immortal and she can't.”
Lie Qing growled, ”Sister, are you trying to pick a fight with me?”
Yi Si panicky said, ”Please don't fight over such little things…”
Another heavenly figure flashed next to her. It was the Celestial Fairy Yixian. She said gently to her, ”Yi Si, don't worry. They will be alright.”

Lie Qing smiled, ”Sister Xian'Er! How times flies! I still remember that time when Lele, Youxue, You and I have fought in the Tranquil Sect and cause the entire building to collapse!”
Yixian smiled, ”I remember it. That is fun.”
Lie Qing laughed softly, ”I wonder what will happen if we fight for real?”
Lele laughed jovially, ”Count me in. Anyone that ain't fighting for real is a tortoise then!”
Yi Si stared at them with stunned expression…
