"Master!!!"

Huo Feng’s voice carried urgency: "Bai Ze, this time things aren’t looking good! It seems the Extreme North Fruit in her body has already lost its effect, if this continues, the Master..."

Bai Ze lightly furrowed his brows, his calm voice conveyed through the soul to Mu Ruyue.

"Yue, he is waiting for you."

He is waiting for you...

Those four words sent a shiver through Mu Ruyue’s heart, and her vision gradually cleared.

Yes.

He is waiting for her...

How could she fall at this moment?

The Fire Seed was enraged; it had finally made the woman’s willpower weaken, yet because of that voice, she became strong once more.

However, now it was too exhausted, no longer as fierce as it was in the beginning...

Just as the Fire Seed was about to collapse from exhaustion, an invisible hand reached out from the side, tightly grasping it.

The Fire Seed desperately struggled, but could not break free from the hand formed by spiritual power, and gradually, its light began to dim, merging with Mu Ruyue’s spiritual power...

Bang!

After completing all of this, Mu Ruyue could no longer endure and collapsed to the ground once more.

Just as she was about to touch the ground, a hand reached out from the side, pulling her into an embrace, with white hair brushing against her cheek, and a man’s tender and gentle voice whispered by her ear.

"Yue, you succeeded, doing what no one has ever done before..."

Mu Ruyue smiled: "Bai Ze, thank you, if it weren’t for your reminder, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to hold on..."

"No, I merely spoke a word. It was truly your strong willpower that made you succeed."

"No matter what, I still want to thank you... Bai Ze, I heard everything you said with Huo Feng earlier. I want to thank you for your unconditional trust in me, as well as your unwavering companionship through life and death..."

Bai Ze’s arms tightened slightly around her, a gentle smile emerging on his handsome face.

"If you truly want to thank me, no matter what happens, do everything in your power to live on, whether for me or for him..."

Mu Ruyue nodded slightly, sitting up from Bai Ze’s embrace. She took out a bottle of Elixir and swallowed it.

As the Elixir entered her stomach, a surge of medicinal power enveloped her entire heart...

"Whew!"

Once her body recovered, Mu Ruyue let out a breath of turbid air; she raised her hand, and in that instant, a flame appeared in her palm.

Then, she smiled, a smile full of satisfaction.

"I finally succeeded in subduing the Nine-layered Karma Fire. With the Nine-layered Karma Fire, even if I can’t kill an Intermediate Supreme expert, at least I have the strength to fight against them! Moreover..."

Mu Ruyue paused for a moment, then continued: "I have a feeling, the Nine-layered Karma Fire has taken my strength a step further, though I haven’t broken through to Supreme yet, it’s now just a step away. I believe, very soon, I will break through..."

Bai Ze’s gentle gaze fell upon Mu Ruyue’s face, a slight smile appeared: "To grow to this level in such a short time, I suppose only you in the entire Divine-class could achieve this."

Mu Ruyue didn’t say much more, she stood up from the ground, dusted off her clothes, and said: "Let’s go, it’s time for us to head to hell now..." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After saying this, her eyes grew more determined, gazing up at the crimson sky within the Purgatory Gate, a slight smile with a hint of thinness on her lips...
