NOVEL NEXT Chapter 964: Eye of Hell_1
"How did you humans manage to get in here!" the Fire Demon Beast spoke with human speech.
"That's for us to know." Chu Qin replied with a light smile, "Are you ready to die?"
"Hmph, try killing me," roared the Fire Demon Beast as flames burst forth from its mouth like a torrential flood.
"Eh? This hundred-thousand-year-old Fire Demon Beast isn't at the First Heavenly Layer of Divine Veneration but the Second. How strange!" Jiu Yin remarked with some surprise after sensing the beast's cultivation level as it made its move.
Usually, a hundred-thousand-year Fire Demon Beast would be at most at the First Heavenly Layer of Divine Venerate!
But a mere Second Heavenly Layer of Divine Veneration couldn't possibly harm Chu Qin.
Yet, Chu Qin calmly and handsomely walked towards the Fire Demon Beast through the flames, which did no harm to him whatsoever.
"What!" The Fire Demon Beast was astounded and instinctively thought to flee, but as soon as the thought occurred, the Primordial True Sword had already pierced its heart.
The next second, the Primordial True Sword returned to Chu Qin's hand with the intact Fire Demon Pearl!
"Got it," Chu Qin said with an easy smile.
But just as Chu Qin was taking the Fire Demon Pearl, the ground shook again, and one massive figure after another surged out from beneath Flame Mountain.
All of these were Fire Demon Beasts, at least a hundred or so.
They seemed to be panicked, running wildly in every direction.
Although these Fire Demon Beasts weren't as large as the first one Chu Qin killed, they were close in size.
"So many Fire Demon Beasts!" the crowd exclaimed in surprise and delight. Fire Demon Pearls were highly nourishing, and so many Fire Demon Beasts would satisfy them all; the women couldn't help but be excited.
"Think you can run?" Chu Qin said with a light smile. In the next second, a golden Array formed under his feet and quickly spread out, surpassing the Fire Demon Beasts' escape velocity and enveloping them all within the Array.
Soon, a dense mass of ancient patterns, like chains, bound all of them firmly.
This formation was none other than the Xuantian Emperor Array of Xuanyuan First Emperor. However, Chu Qin's mastery had already surpassed Xuanyuan First Emperor, allowing him to freely change the deployment methods of the formation!
Chu Qin didn't give them a chance to catch their breath; the Primordial True Sword in his hand thrust continuously, killing all the Fire Demon Beasts!
In an instant, nearly a hundred Fire Demon Pearls appeared and, under Chu Qin's will, flew into the hands of everyone, including Dongfang Qinxin, Huo Ninger, and Dugu Zixi!
"One for each person, just right," Chu Qin said with a casual smile, "Azure Dragon, catch."
Chu Qin then gave the first Fire Demon Pearl to Azure Dragon, who was the only Divine Venerate-level power amongst them.
All the women had no objections and instead all revealed faces brimming with happiness. Indeed, following Chu Qin led to abundant gains.
Dugu Zixi and Dongfang Qinxin were both somewhat surprised; they hadn't expected to receive any.
"Don't get too happy just yet," Jiu Yin spoke up at that moment.
"Why?" Chu Qin and the women's expressions changed as they turned to look at Jiu Yin.
"No, that's not right, I misspoke," Jiu Yin said with a smile, "The exciting part should be coming up. As I just mentioned, Fire Demon Beasts are solitary creatures. The fact that so many of them are gathering together is definitely not a coincidence. Chu Qin, if I'm not mistaken, there must be something extraordinary underneath the ground!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin and the ladies came to the side of a cave, which was exactly where the Fire Demon Beast had emerged from underground.
"Jiu Yin, are you certain that there is something inside?" Chu Qin asked.
"Absolutely and definitely!" Jiu Yin replied, "Otherwise, the Fire Demon Beasts wouldn't be clustering together!"
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go!" As soon as Chu Qin finished speaking, he summoned the Hell Compass, and together with everyone else, rushed into the subterranean cavern.
The group descended for about three seconds, covering an estimated distance of ten thousand meters, and arrived at an incredibly vast space!
This place was not dark because the rock walls here were studded with many glowing red crystals.
"What are these? They look so unusual!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the beautiful crystals.
"It's Fire God Crystal Stones!" Dongfang Qinxin said, "Fire God Crystal Stones are incredibly precious, a top-tier treasure, and are a thousand times rarer than Black Gold Energy Cores!"
"A thousand times!" The ladies' eyes suddenly sparkled.
They had stumbled upon another treasure.
"Qin Xin is right, but as precious as Fire God Crystal Stones are, they still don't compare to this!" At that moment, Jiu Yin turned her gaze toward the center, where a fiery red diamond-shaped crystal hung suspended in the air!
Chu Qin had also noticed this diamond-shaped crystal early on. He could tell that this thing was extremely unusual. Dongfang Qinxin's pupils dilated as she said, "Could this be?"
"Indeed, it is the legendary Demonic Sacred Artifact, the Eye of Hell!" Jiu Yin replied, "The Eye of Hell possesses an immense amount of energy. Cultivating in its vicinity, an average person could enhance their cultivation speed by a million times, and for demons, at least five million times. I was wondering why that hundred-thousand-year-old Fire Demon Beast had the cultivation of the Second Heavenly Layer of Divine Veneration; now, I understand."
"A million times!" Chu Qin and the ladies said, somewhat excitedly.
"Yes!" Jiu Yin nodded, "That is a conservative estimate. The Eye of Hell is a legendary Demonic Path sacred item, and I didn't expect it to appear here. Moreover, around the Eye of Hell, Fire God Crystal Stones are bound to be produced. It seems that all the rumors are true. Our trip to the Seven Hells Demon Tower has indeed been worthwhile!"
"Then let's pick it up and take it with us!" Chu Qin said excitedly.
"No!" Jiu Yin replied, "The energy of the Eye of Hell is limited and it cannot be moved. You can only cultivate here."
"Ah? It's a one-time thing?" Xiaowu asked with slight disappointment.
Chu Qin also felt disappointed. With something that could enhance cultivation speed by a million times, if one could keep using it indefinitely, not to mention himself, he and his women could advance at an unimaginable speed!
"Yes, you could say it's a one-time use, but after you have looked at the Eye of Hell for ten days, I think you should be able to advance to Deity Venerate!" Jiu Yin said with a smile.
"Ten days?" Everyone said, surprised and delighted.
"Yes, I think those Fire Demon Beasts had just discovered this place and we intercepted them. Otherwise, they would have absorbed all the energy of the Eye of Hell by now. And ten days multiplied by a million times is already ten million years, enough to let any Divine Master advance to Divine Venerate. And if you have strong innate talents, like Chu Qin, and also possess the heart of the Ice Demon Beast Emperor, your realm will increase even more!" Jiu Yin explained with a smile.
"Alright then, I understand," Chu Qin said with a calm smile. "Starting today, we will cultivate here for ten days. Meanwhile, I will also absorb the Ice Demon Beast Emperor Orb. I think the road ahead may not be easy!"
"Yes, yes!" The ladies eagerly agreed.
Ten days in exchange for the cultivation results of ten million years— who wouldn't want that?
