The Sky Poison Pearl

Purgatory

Yun Che felt like he had stepped into purgatory. Unbeknownst to him, the sound of magma spinning next to him was actually a ferocious growl of the Purgatory Devil.

Yun Che trudged forward. Only inside the hellfire could Yun Che understand how amazing his ability to withstand fire was. Other people could barely survive in this environment with their strength, but he did not feel any discomfort at all. Unaffected by high temperature or flame.

It was at the tenth step when he stopped in his path and looked left towards the puddle of lava. Red lava emits very high temperatures. Lava churned violently, rising higher and higher, and more ferocious at this time…. Suddenly, the pond overflowed and a large chunk of lava broke apart with a deafening sound. A gigantic body shrouded in flames rose high from the lava and landed in front of Yun Che with a deafening explosion.

This was a fire giant whose entire body was burning. It was thirty-three meters tall, had a body that was entirely burnt in red-hot flames, and had two ferocious eyes on either side of its head. On its head were two fire horns that were ten meters long and a golden sign that seemed to shine from the middle of the horn.

Yun Che quickly stepped back and looked at the fire giant who was too tall…. Is this the Purgatory Demon spoken of by the Phoenix?

"Jasmine? What level is this big guy? Yun Che quickly asked.

“This is a high-level True Nature fire monster. In this kind of blazing environment, not only could it recover its vitality and strength quickly, the fire power it released was also comparable to the Spirit Realm!” Jasmine's voice carried a warning tone.

The Purgatory Flame Devil roared loudly as his eyes locked onto Yun Che. Under his eyes was a gigantic mouth that threw a dozen super-sized fireballs as it shrieked and flew towards him.

Yun Che stood in place; motionless, letting the fireball land on him.

Boom, bombs, bombs, bombs...

Fireballs exploded consecutively upon coming into contact with Yun Che's body. The power of the flames was violently released, but after touching Yun Che's body, they became like rocks that sank to the bottom of the sea, and burned silently without causing the slightest damage to Yun Che. In the bursting flash of fire, Yun Che rushed towards the Purgatory Flame Demon, and appeared in front of him in a split second…. However, facing that was around a hundred feet tall, his body seemed too small and he could hardly be considered to have reached the bottom of his feet. With a low growl, he activated “Sesat” Soul and ruthlessly destroyed the energy above his calf.

BAM!!

This heavy attack was similar to hitting a heavy ancient bronze bell, and its stomp caused an incredible pain to Yun Che's hand bones. However, the Purgatory Devil was barely affected and only the flame was extinguished for a moment to then re-ignite a moment later.

What a formidable body. Yun Che flinched.  

Because the palm cannot hurt him, then...

Yun Che stroked his left hand and took out the most precious treasure of the Xiao Sect Branch Sect, the peerless Earth-level Artifact, Tiger Soul Sword. Concentrating his energy, he stabbed viciously at the Purgatory Devil.

Slesshh~~~

In a split second the Tiger Soul Sword slashed through the body of the Purgatory Flame Demon, Yun Che heard the faint growl of the tiger. The vast area of fire where the Purgatory Demon had been extinguished instantly to reveal its pitch-black body. A large piece of flesh was also instantly cut by the Tiger Soul Sword; mixed with fire, it flew far into the distance.

“ROAARRRRR!!!”

The Purgatory Flame Demon felt pain, became furious and took a step towards Yun Che. Meanwhile, a sky full of flames rained down with waves of its claws, enveloping the area within a hundred feet radius. 

To Yun Che, this rain of fire was meaningless. But the heavy steps taken by the Purgatory Flame Devil was something that Yun Che could not bear easily. As a result, he was sent flying and landed a hundred feet away. Without waiting for his body to stabilize, he rushed back towards the rain of fire and meteorites. He increased his speed to the maximum, constantly leaving behind shadows with the Shadow of Gods. The real and fake shadows intertwined, causing confusion at the feet of the Purgatory Demon as Yun Che landed punch after punch on his calf.

He became even more violent after being injured repeatedly. It unleashed its flames and the power of fire that constantly turned the surrounding area into a sea of flames. Every step Yun Che took into the one-meter-high flames was as if he was treading flat ground without the slightest injury. The Purgatory Flame Demon had a huge body so it moved slowly and each time it attacked with its limbs, Yun Che dodged it easily. Every time he became an illusion, he would slash his calf to cut.

Sriing... Jem!!

A dangerous atmosphere came from above and Yun Che looked up. Immediately after, he retreated with the Shadow of Gods without thinking any further.

Boom!!

The flame on the body of the Purgatory Demon descended and triggered a series of gigantic explosions. Even though Yun Che avoided her, she was still affected by it. The suffocating pressure made him take a few steps back, and he stepped into the lava pool behind him.

The edge of the lava pool was extremely shallow and barely reached Yun Che's calf. He did not hurry anymore, but held the Tiger Soul Sword and stood in the lava as he furrowed his brows; he realized that despite slashing over thirty wounds on the body of the Purgatory Demon with his sword, he had already cut through, but quickly disappeared.

“I have told you that he has a very strong healing ability in this very hot environment. Not only was the fire unquenchable, even his normal wounds would heal in no time. At most, it takes five to six breaths to recover from the injury you caused.

Jasmine spoke coldly, but after she finished speaking, she paused for a moment and then shouted: “I understand! Attack the golden mark on his head. That's the location of his weak point.”

Gold mark?" Yun Che raised his head and looked at the dazzling golden dot between the middle of his horns.

“The aura is the weakest in the area so it should be its weak point. Try attacking there.”

Yun Che tilted his head, but still stood in place for a long time without doing anything. It was because this Purgatory Demon was thirty-three meters tall. With his current strength, even under the influence of a Perverted Soul, the highest jump he could jump was only twenty to twenty-five meters; he definitely could not touch his forehead.

“It looks like I have no other choice but to take a chance and give it a try!”

Yun Che clenched his teeth, and walked forward with slow steps. After fighting him for a long time, another sense of danger came from above his head. The purgatory demon had raised his right hand, and violently smashed into Yun Che's position.

This was the moment that Yun Che had been waiting for. With a single step of the God Shadow, he moved to a distance of roughly ten steps back in an instant, and dodged the center of his fire fist attack. Immediately after, before the fist landed and jumped with all its might, it instantly reached a height of over twenty meters.

Boom!!

There's a hard bump downstairs. Even in the air, he could still feel a shock wave of energy from under his feet. As the Purgatory Flame Demon smashed his fist into the ground, his body bent down and his forehead fell to a height of about eighteen meters ... Which was diagonally below Yun Che.

While in the air, unless one had reached the Sky Realm and could use their energy to air, it was impossible to move in the air, even the direction one would fall in. However, it was not the case with Yun Che. His body swayed, and activated the Shadow God to immediately shift about seven meters to the side in the air; it instead moved right above the head of the Purgatory Demon. His body fell straight down as he also tightly gripped the Tiger Soul Sword in his hand ……

“Month…. Fall off...

The sinking…. Star... HAAH!!”

The Tiger Soul Sword released a powerful light as an extremely loud and clear tiger growl echoed throughout this purgatory. Amidst the roar of the tiger and the battle cry of Yun Che, The Tiger Soul Sword pointed right at the point of light on the forehead of the Purgatory Demon while carrying the power of the Falling Moon Sinking Star and penetrating it as if slicing tofu…. The body of the one meter long sword fell down and even its hilt followed right after under the force of an extremely rampaging attack.

Yun Che fell to the ground and quickly closed his Perverted Soul Gate as he panted. But the body of the Purgatory Demon was already silent in its place. A moment later, there sounded an incomparable roar of despair. His giant body slowly fell forward and fell to the floor with a loud, exploding sound.

The flames on his body extinguished quickly, until all that was left was a few small coals that revealed his huge black body. Immediately after, even his body began to disintegrate and everything disappeared as if it was made of steam. On the red floor, only the Tiger Soul Sword that had killed him in a single attack remained.

“Suk…. Success!" Yun Che took out the Tiger Soul Sword and let out a long sigh.

And at this moment, the scene before him suddenly distorted. Amidst the distortion, it spun hazy, and when everything finally stabilized, red soil, volcanoes, and puddles of lava…. All of that is gone. What replaced it was an expanse of nothingness, a wilderness so flat that no uneven ground was visible.
