"Ah!"

"Ahhh!"

Within the flames, the Flame Lion let out a pitiful cry, heart-wrenching and echoing throughout the entire top-floor space...

"Let go of me, you let me go!"

The Flame Lion forcefully waved its hand, trying to drive away the flames in front of it, its eyes bloodshot, fiercely staring at Mu Ruyue.

"If you have the ability, don’t let me see you again, otherwise I’ll tear you limb from limb!"

Mu Ruyue smiled lightly: "Rest assured, you won’t have the chance to see me again..."

"One Sword Breaks the Sky!"

The Great Sword burned fiercely in the sky, then came slicing down at the horrified Flame Lion, at that moment, it was as if the entire sky was split open, with an awe-inspiring red...

"Grandmastery? This... Impossible! Even Wu Wang never achieved Grandmastery with One Sword Breaks the Sky!"

Boom!

At this moment, the ground was slashed open with a crack, the rising stones covered the figure within the flames. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Mu Ruyue lightly withdrew her gaze, did not look back, and disappeared into the open space...

...

Here stood the Gate of Hell, a black door erected on this land, emitting a gloomy aura, the large skull-crafted rings were extremely daunting.

Mu Ruyue stopped her steps, scrutinizing the Gate of Hell before her, her eyes deepened, her jade hand slowly rested on the skull...

Squeak!

The door opened with her touch, and instantly, a scorching heat rushed towards her.

It gave her the feeling of being completely consumed by the flames...

How long has it been?

How long since she feared flames? Yet at this moment, Mu Ruyue distinctly felt the dread in her heart.

"Is this the Nine-layered Karma Fire? The most powerful flames in the world, it’s said that even a Supreme’s body would be destroyed in these flames! Only the Soul! Only the Soul can endure the Nine-layered Karma Fire, yet it would suffer immensely!"

Mu Ruyue’s gaze gradually steadied: "But no matter what, I must enter this place, for there’s someone here waiting for me..."

As she spoke, without any hesitation, she stepped into the Gate of Hell...

Boom!

In that instant, the fierce flames seemed to find their target, abruptly surrounding her body, within the flames, Mu Ruyue only felt intense pain.

This pain penetrated the Soul, almost as if the body would soon be destroyed...

However, from start to finish, Mu Ruyue gritted her teeth, trudging forward resolutely.

"Luckily, I consumed the Extreme North Fruit, granting me resistance to these flames, otherwise, perhaps as soon as I entered the Gate of Hell, I’d be reduced to nothing by the Nine-layered Karma Fire, though even so, the power of these flames is unbearable for anyone..."

If this continues, even with the Extreme North Fruit, she might not be able to reach the end.

Conquer!

Mu Ruyue’s eyes brightened, indeed, only by conquering the Nine-layered Karma Fire could she safely leave this place...

With this thought, Mu Ruyue stopped her steps, sat cross-legged on the ground, and slightly closed her eyes.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Huo Feng sensed Mu Ruyue’s actions, anxiously said: "Though you’ve consumed the Extreme North Fruit, should you linger within this Nine-layered Karma Fire, even the Extreme North Fruit might not protect you, hurry and leave this place!"
