241: Illusion within illusion, endless fire slaves!

“The mist here is a bit strange. Let’s leave this area first.”

Seeing Gu Nanhai’s lingering fear, Gu Fei also gave a bitter smile. Even he himself had almost fallen into the illusion just now.

However, fortunately, Gu Fei had a powerful alien flame within him, and also the Emotion Value System that could determine that the appearing Cai’er and the three members of the Hun Clan were fakes, because they showed no emotions, no emotional prompts whatsoever.

“Where are the others?”

Gu Nanhai frowned.

This Demon Flame Space was too bizarre.

It was filled with deadly dangers everywhere.

Even a Dou Sheng expert would find themselves in precarious situations upon entering this place.

“This should be the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s strategy!”

“After entering, many people were isolated! But it’s not completely separated!”

“Let’s go.”

Gu Fei waved his hand.

He glanced at the others who were trapped in illusions, then quickly darted out of the misty area.

He didn't know most of these people, nor did he have any connections with them, so naturally, he wouldn't be so kind as to rescue them one by one. Most people here were after the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.

Knowing the danger and still coming here, they would have to pay the price for their greed.

Next, Gu Fei and Gu Nanhai swiftly flew, rushing out of the area enveloped by the mist.

“Brother Gu Fei!”

“Young Master Gu Fei, I knew you would be able to break free from those illusions…”

Just as the two of them flew out of the mist, the voices of Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi came from ahead.

Hearing this, Gu Fei looked up.

Not far ahead, a massive platform was suspended in mid-air.

At the end of the platform was a giant white gate, and on the platform at this moment stood the three members of the Yan Clan who had come here. They, possessing alien flames, had also broken free from that illusion.

“Ding, Huo Xuan generated a joyful emotion, Emotion Value increased…”

“Ding, Huo Zhi generated a joyful emotion, Emotion Value increased…”

Through the Emotion Value feedback, Gu Fei was immediately able to determine that these three were not illusions.

Gu Fei and Gu Nanhai flew over.

These three had a friendship with Gu Fei, and seeing him escape just now, their joy was genuine, so Gu Fei naturally treated them with courtesy.

“I didn’t expect this Purification Lotus Demon Flame to be able to release Nightmare Sky Mist. It seems its strength has greatly improved in the past millennium!”

Elder Huo Yao of the Yan Clan exclaimed with emotion.

Nightmare Sky Mist.

This was originally the Pure Lotus Demon Saint’s unique skill, and people of the Ancient Race had all heard of it.

It is said that in the past, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint once used this move to envelop a city.

It made the people in the city feel as if they had lived there for hundreds of years. Only after the mist dispersed did they suddenly realize that those hundred years of experience were merely a dream.

“The current Purification Lotus Demon Flame is probably even stronger than it was a thousand years ago!”

Gu Nanhai nodded in response.

“According to the Elders of our clan, something similar happened last time. If we follow the path beyond the giant gate, we will naturally be able to find the Purification Lotus Demon Flame… We must break through!”

Huo Yao pointed to the large gate behind him and invited Gu Fei and Gu Nanhai.

“Hmm, this is the Purification Lotus Demon Flame’s territory. Even we must abide by its rules before we can see its true form.”

Gu Nanhai nodded, a faint smile on his face.

Just as he was about to say something more, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated violently.

A terrifying temperature slowly spread from all directions.

“Everyone, be careful!”

Seeing this, Gu Fei frowned. At present, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint’s lingering preparations had not shown much reaction.

Therefore, he could only temporarily follow the rules here until the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame appeared.

“Boom boom!”

As the space became increasingly distorted, cracks suddenly appeared. From these cracks, waves of milky white flames, like giant tsunamis, swept out.

Immediately after, figures shrouded in milky white flames, gripping flaming long spears, surged out from the numerous cracks like a tide, their emotionless eyes fixed on Gu Fei and the others.

“Fire Slaves!”

Everyone present, being from the Ancient Race, was no stranger to such things.

These were all powerful individuals who had once been refined by the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, akin to Puppets.

“Roar!”

The next moment, the tens of thousands of flaming figures let out a sudden roar, then simultaneously moved, sweeping towards Gu Fei and the others like an overwhelming torrent, their momentum immense.

However, everyone present was a Saint, and there were also top experts like Gu Fei, Gu Nanhai, and Huo Yao, who were Four-Star Dou Sheng level.

With their attacks, these Fire Slaves were killed in large numbers, seemingly without any power to retaliate.

However, no matter how fierce Gu Fei and the others’ attacks were, an endless stream of Fire Slaves continued to pour out from those cracks.

They were inexhaustible!

“Killing them like this is useless; we can only go in!” Gu Nanhai shouted in a deep voice.

The others also nodded slightly.

Next, the group broke through the crowd of flaming figures like a hot knife through butter, and finally, each unleashed a palm strike, heavily slamming into the giant gate.

“Bang!”

Under the combined force of everyone’s fierce attack, the giant gate directly exploded and burst open.

“According to the Elders of our clan, the end of this Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Hall is where the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s true form is located!” Gu Nanhai shouted.

Gu Fei did not stop them. For now, perhaps only by seeing the Purification Lotus Demon Flame illusion at the end of the great hall could the remnant soul of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint in his glabella react.

Upon entering the next great hall, milky white flames filled their vision. On the vast plaza of this nearly thousand-zhang-large great hall, dense rows of flaming figures stood upright.

They made no sound, yet an extremely terrifying Aura permeated this space. That Aura seemed to merge together, forming a giant flaming Dragon, circling above the heads of these flaming figures, filled with Killing Intent.

Gu Fei’s group had already continuously broken through three nearly identical great halls.

However, the further they ventured inside, the stronger the Fire Slaves appearing in the great halls became!

Upon careful sensing, it was likely that each Fire Slave possessed the strength of a Dou Zun-level.

One Dou Zun might be insignificant in front of them, but when their number reached ten thousand, even a Dou Sheng would have to deal with them seriously.

Moreover, the Heaven and Earth energy in this space was mixed with traces of Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, and no one dared to easily absorb it.

With such an imbalance, only expending and not absorbing, their Dou Qi would eventually deplete. Even a Dou Sheng expert would not be able to persist indefinitely.

“This won’t do. If we continue like this, we’ll all be exhausted to death here!”

Huo Xuan said, panting.

Such high-intensity combat put immense pressure on him and Huo Zhi, who only had the strength of a Half-Saint, and their Dou Qi consumption was enormous.
