318: Chapter 318 Demon Flame Purgatory

Chu Lan nodded and said, "This is indeed good news. If we can win over a portion of the Myriad Races to stand on our side, we will have a better chance of winning against the Myriad Races army in the future."

Gao Feng pondered for a moment and said, "We can discuss this later. Su Ning, you have just achieved a Breakthrough, so you need to stabilize your Realm. Let us stay here for a few more days, and after you have fully stabilized, we will discuss the next step."

Su Ning nodded and said, "That works perfectly. I also need time to integrate the Star Space Art with my Space Sword Technique."

Everyone sat cross-legged once again and began to Cultivate.

Su Ning found a corner, sat down cross-legged, and began her seclusion.

She first took out the space ring and carefully examined the items inside. The ring was filled with shimmering space crystals, each containing pure spatial power, enough for her to Cultivate for a long time. There were also a few Jade Slips, which recorded the cultivation insights of the Star Clan's past experts, including the spatial insights left by Senior Xing Hen.

She picked up a Jade Slip and probed it with her spiritual sense; instantly, countless pieces of information flooded her mind. It was Senior Xing Hen's lifelong understanding of the Dao of space, ranging from spatial perception to Space Cutting, from Space Folding to Spatial Imprisonment, and from space travel to the Domain of space—all-encompassing and exhaustive.

Su Ning felt as if she had obtained a priceless treasure and immediately immersed herself in it, studying it carefully.

Time passed without her noticing.

One day, two days, three days...

On the fourth day, Su Ning slowly opened her eyes. At that moment, her eyes seemed to contain an endless starry sky, deep and brilliant. Five days of contemplation allowed her to completely integrate the Star Space Art with her own Space Sword Technique, creating a brand-new sword technique—the Star Space Sword Technique!

This sword technique used the power of space as a sword and could shatter any defense!

She stood up, pointed her right hand like a sword, and lightly slashed toward the distant Void Realm. A silver sword radiance shot out, and wherever it passed, the Void Realm was actually torn open into a thin crack! Inside that crack lay the endless turbulent Void Realm, emitting an aura that made one's heart tremble.

Everyone was startled by this commotion and looked over. They saw the crack slowly healing, but that glimpse into the depths of the Void Realm made everyone's heart tremble.

"What powerful might!" Lin Jingyu exclaimed.

Su Ning smiled slightly, withdrew her sword finger, looked at Gao Feng, and said, "Senior Brother Gao Feng, I would like to spar with you."

Upon hearing this, everyone became interested. They had seen the strength of Gao Feng's Physical Body with their own eyes. The defensive battle soul of the Rock Demon Clan had been shattered by a single punch from him; he moved freely under twenty times the gravity. As for how strong the Star Space Sword Technique that Su Ning had just comprehended was, Gao Feng was the perfect person to test it against.

A hint of interest flashed in Gao Feng's eyes as he said, "Very well."

The two walked to the center of the martial arts arena and stood ten zhang apart. Everyone gathered around, watching the arena nervously.

"Be careful," Su Ning said softly.

As soon as her voice fell, her figure disappeared from where she stood!

Space travel!

The next moment, she had already appeared behind Gao Feng, her right hand pointed like a sword, and a silver sword radiance stabbed directly at Gao Feng's back!

Gao Feng's reaction was extremely fast; he turned abruptly and threw a punch! The golden fist radiance collided with the silver sword radiance, erupting with a thunderous roar! Violent waves of Qi swept in all directions, blowing away all the dust in the surroundings!

After the clash, both of them retreated three steps.

Su Ning was shocked. Her sword strike was enough to kill an ordinary Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Cultivator, but Gao Feng had taken it head-on with just his Physical Body, and he was completely unharmed!

Gao Feng was equally shocked. He looked down at his fist, and on it, there was actually a faint white mark! That was the trace left by Su Ning's sword radiance! Although it was only a white mark and didn't even break the skin, this was enough to surprise him.

Ever since he started practicing the Myriad Weight Hegemon Body, no one of the same Realm had ever been able to leave any mark on his body!

"Good sword technique," he praised sincerely.

Su Ning smiled slightly and disappeared from where she stood again!

This time, she did not launch a sneak attack but attacked head-on! Her figure flickered continuously in the Void Realm, and each flicker was accompanied by a silver sword radiance, attacking Gao Feng from different directions and angles!

Gao Feng stood firmly in place, throwing punch after punch! His fist radiance was like golden thunder, shattering those silver sword radiances one by one! The two exchanged blows, fighting extremely intensely!

Luo Li and the others watched, dumbfounded. They only felt silver light flickering and golden radiance crisscrossing before their eyes; they couldn't see the two's movements at all! They could only hear bursts of thunderous roars and feel waves of violent Qi!

"So strong..." Lin Yue murmured.

Chu Lan nodded and said, "Su Ning's Space Sword Technique is more than ten times stronger than before! And Senior Brother Gao Feng's Physical Body is terrifying to the extreme! Neither of them has used their full strength yet!"

The battle lasted for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, and the two finally stopped.

Gao Feng's clothes were a bit disheveled, but he remained completely unharmed. Su Ning, on the other hand, was panting slightly, with fine beads of sweat seeping from her forehead.

"That was satisfying!" Gao Feng laughed loudly. "Su Ning, your Space Sword Technique is already capable of injuring me!"

Su Ning looked at the faint white marks on Gao Feng's body, her heart filled with shock. She had stabbed at least a hundred times just now, and every sword strike was enough to kill a Cultivator of the same Realm, yet they could only leave white marks on Gao Feng! The strength of this Physical Body was simply inconceivable!

"Senior Brother Gao Feng's Physical Body is the truly terrifying one," she said sincerely.

The two returned to the group, and everyone gathered around, praising them with a flurry of voices.

Lin Jingyu looked at Su Ning, his eyes filled with admiration, and said, "Su Ning, can you teach me your Space Sword Technique?"

Su Ning shook her head and said, "The Space Sword Technique requires spatial talent; you do not have it, so you cannot learn it."

Lin Jingyu was a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but he knew it was a fact, so he could only nod helplessly.

Chu Lan pulled Su Ning aside, carefully asking her about the principles of the Space Sword Technique. She was a Formation Genius and was interested in anything related to space. Su Ning did not hold back and recounted her insights one by one.

Just then, Tian Xin suddenly spoke up: "Do you all feel that the aura here is a bit off?"

Everyone heard this and quickly calmed down to sense it. Sure enough, there seemed to be a trace of scorching heat in the air; although the aura was faint, it made people feel a sense of unease.

Gao Feng frowned slightly and said, "This aura... where is it coming from?"

Everyone looked around and finally discovered that the scorching aura was coming from a portal deep within the martial arts arena. That portal was the entrance to the sixth floor.

"The sixth floor..." Luo Li said softly, "The sixth floor is the Demon Flame Purgatory, a world of raging flames."

Chu Lan nodded and said, "That scorching aura must have leaked from the sixth floor. To be able to feel it through the portal, the temperature inside must be frighteningly high."

Gao Feng pondered for a moment and said, "The Legacy on the sixth floor is the Demon Flame Scripture, which requires undergoing the test of the Demon Flame Body Refining. I should enter this floor alone."

Everyone heard this, and although they had expected it, they were still a bit worried. The temperature of the Demon Flame Purgatory was enough to make people uncomfortable just from the trace of aura leaking out; how terrifying must the actual temperature inside be?

Yaoguang said softly, "Senior Brother Gao Feng, be careful."

Gao Feng nodded and said, "Rest assured. My Myriad Weight Hegemon Body has already reached Minor Achievement; mere flames cannot do anything to me."

He paused, looked at everyone, and said, "You all stay on the fourth floor and wait for me. Chu Lan, you can arrange some fire-resistant spiritual plants at the entrance; in case I need to come out, it will provide a buffer."

Chu Lan nodded and said, "I understand."

Gao Feng looked at Luo Li again and said, "Your music can assist in Cultivation; if I need help inside, I will send you a message."

Luo Li nodded solemnly.

After giving the instructions, Gao Feng took a deep breath and walked with large strides toward the portal.

The moment he stepped into the portal, a wave of scorching heat rushed toward him! The temperature was so high that even he, a Cultivator with a Minor Achievement Myriad Weight Hegemon Body, felt his skin burning with pain!

But he did not retreat in the slightest; instead, he quickened his pace and rushed into the portal!

As the light flickered, his figure disappeared from the fourth floor.

Everyone watched him leave and then busied themselves. Chu Lan set up a spiritual plant Formation at the portal entrance, planting stalks of fire-resistant Fire Lotus Grass; Luo Li sat cross-legged, adjusting her state, ready to assist with her music at any time; Yaoguang took out her Pill Furnace and began refining some cooling and detoxifying Medicinal Pills for emergencies.

Su Ning continued to stabilize her Realm. She had just achieved a Breakthrough and needed time to completely stabilize her cultivation base. She sat cross-legged, took out a space crystal, held it in her hand, and slowly absorbed the spatial power within it.

Tian Xin and Lin Yue stood guard on the side, preventing any accidents from occurring.

Lin Jingyu looked at the portal, his eyes filled with anticipation. He knew that after Gao Feng entered the sixth floor, there would still be the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors... Each floor had a different Legacy.

He took a deep breath, continued to sit cross-legged, and silently began to Cultivate.

Time passed quietly while waiting.

The moment Gao Feng stepped into the portal, a terrifying wave of heat rushed toward him.

The intensity of that heat wave far exceeded his imagination. Even with his Minor Achievement Myriad Weight Hegemon Body, he felt his skin burning with pain at that instant, as if it were about to be ignited.

He gritted his teeth and stepped out of the portal.

Before him was a world of flames.

The sky was crimson, and countless clouds of fire surged overhead; from time to time, huge fireballs fell from the clouds, smashing into the ground and exploding.

The ground was cracked, scorched earth, with magma flowing in the fissures, emitting a terrifyingly high temperature.

The air was filled with dense Demon Flame power; that power was violent and scorching, and every breath felt like swallowing a mouthful of fire.

This was the sixth floor—Demon Flame Purgatory.

Gao Feng stood at the entrance of the portal and looked around. He could feel that the temperature here was astonishingly high, at least dozens of times higher than the outside world. If an ordinary Cultivator were to step in here, they would likely be incinerated into ashes in an instant.

But instead of fear, his eyes ignited with an excited glow.

"What a great place!" He let out a low shout, strode forward, and stepped into this world of flames.
