Chapter 1805 - 1806: Magma Ocean
Lin Chen exchanged a few words with the magic spirit, who hadn't encountered any illusions on the way here.
However, Lin Chen did encounter them.
Evidently, each person faces different situations here.
Lin Chen was a bit worried that Feng Jiu and Li Feng might also be in danger.
After the two of them got together, Lin Chen found it odd that they hadn't encountered any illusions.
At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly noticed the necklace around the magic spirit's neck, which occasionally emitted subtle glows, dispersing the surrounding red flames.
It turns out it was the magic spirit's necklace that was at work.
With the magic spirit's help, their speed of advancement increased, and soon they finally passed through the area filled with red smoke.
Then, they arrived in front of a stone wall.
At the center of the stone wall was a stone door, covered in strange writings.
Lin Chen couldn't recognize them, but the magic spirit did.
Upon seeing the writings on the stele, the magic spirit furrowed its brow.
"Lin Chen, these are the texts of our demon clan. It says the stone door is an entrance to hell, where a demon fire capable of burning all exists, and there are beasts guarding it," the magic spirit said solemnly.
A demon fire that can burn all, could it be a different fire?
Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me here at the stone door, I'll go in and take a look."
"Hey, there are beasts guarding inside. Are you trying to get yourself killed?" the magic spirit stomped its foot and said.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "I won't die. If things don't go well, I'll back out."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the magic spirit stomped its foot angrily, "Are you really not afraid of dying?"
Lin Chen pushed open the stone door, not expecting the magic spirit to follow him in.
"Didn't I tell you to wait at the entrance?" Lin Chen said.
The magic spirit snorted coldly, "Hmph, I don't want to watch you die in there."
After passing the stone door, there was a narrow passage ahead, and the two of them walked closely together.
Judging from the steepness, Lin Chen could tell that they were descending.
Lin Chen flipped his wrist, and a flame appeared in his palm, casting a soft light ahead.
The two almost pressed against the rock wall, their feet occasionally making creaking sounds.
Beneath them was a pitch-black abyss.
Lin Chen and the other walked very carefully because the rock wall beside them was very smooth, with no handholds, and a slight mistake could mean falling.
After advancing for nearly half an hour, they reached an open area.
However, upon reaching the platform below, Lin Chen was dumbfounded to see over a dozen passageways ahead.
Where the hell should they go?
A red light flashed in the magic spirit's eyes, and she pointed at one passageway and said, "Let's go down this one."
"Hmm!" Lin Chen was momentarily taken aback.
The magic spirit explained, "Our demon clan has a natural sense. I can feel a strong force in that direction."
Lin Chen nodded and followed the magic spirit into the passage she indicated.
The two cautiously moved along the passage, encountering more paths ahead, but they continued according to the magic spirit's sense.
After advancing over a hundred meters, Lin Chen suddenly whispered, "Magic spirit, do you hear something ahead?"
The magic spirit nodded, "Sounds like the roar of a beast."
Since we sensed it, could it also sense our presence?
"That's very possible," the magic spirit whispered.
Lin Chen chuckled wryly, "Let's go, no risk, no reward. Let's give it a try."
The two continued moving forward, now seeing countless bones on the ground.
There were human bones and those of various beasts, and the eerie white bones made one shudder.
"It seems very dangerous ahead. Magic spirit, you better not go on," Lin Chen said solemnly.
"I'm no coward. Since we're here, let's see what kind of monster it is," the magic spirit replied steadily.
Lin Chen smiled, taking the Tianyan Ancient Sword in hand, and continued into the dark passage ahead.
As he walked in the tunnel, Lin Chen felt a chill, squinted his eyes at the cave walls, and reached out to touch them.
The warmth spreading on the cave walls indicated that something must be behind here.
Lin Chen and the magic spirit set down markers every so often.
After all, the cave was winding, and without markers, even if they made it in, exiting would be difficult.
They moved through the dark cave, an unknown danger causing tension in their hearts.
Inside the cave, only their footsteps and heavy breaths were audible.
They didn't know how long they walked, but the walls ahead became increasingly clammy.
Even the ground felt hot.
"We should be close, be careful," Lin Chen said solemnly.
The magic spirit gripped the whip tightly and nodded with force.
Lin Chen was eagerly anticipating the mysterious flame inside the cave, the hellfire, capable of burning all. Little Shuai, guess what kind of different fire this is?
Little Shuai said solemnly, "If the silent demon words reveal, this different fire should be named Hellfire, ranking third on the different fire list."
"Third!" Lin Chen's eyes sparkled with heat upon hearing Little Shuai's words.
The highest ranking fire Lin Chen held was the Heartburning True Flame, ranked seventh.
Gaining the hellfire during this journey to the Demon Realm would be worthwhile.
As Lin Chen and the magic spirit continued, the heat intensified the further they went.
Eventually, they relied on spiritual energy to shield themselves.
"Otherwise, if the fire infiltrates the body, it might burn the heart."
The expressions on Lin Chen and the magic spirit became grimmer.
"Magic spirit, if things get bad, please go and don't worry about me, okay?" Lin Chen said.
Despite the magic spirit belonging to the demon clan, she was still a girl, and Lin Chen couldn't let a girl shield him from danger.
"Okay."
The magic spirit obediently nodded.
With everything in order, Lin Chen continued deeper into the passage.
The two proceeded further, finally spotting the entrance ahead.
Lin Chen couldn't help but feel pleased, "We're almost there."
Standing at the entrance, Lin Chen and the magic spirit looked down at the fiery red world with shock on their faces.
Below lay a sea of red magma.
Magma slowly melted below, occasionally crashing against rocks, sending waves of fire upwards.
Staring at the endless sea of magma, Lin Chen drew a sharp breath.
Unexpectedly, this was the scene beneath the Demon Realm.
"It's all magma, how could there be treasures here?" the magic spirit frowned.
Lin Chen also frowned, "There's no path ahead, could it be that this journey yields no gain?"
"We can't stay long here, or our bodies won't handle it," the magic spirit said solemnly.
Lin Chen took a deep breath, staring at the magma below, with a glint in his eye.
"What should we do next?" the magic spirit asked.
Lin Chen responded solemnly, "I want to go down and take a look."
"What? Are you crazy?" The magic spirit was stunned by Lin Chen's words.
