She was so anxious she almost burst into tears. One had to know, the Nine-layered Karma Fire was exceedingly perilous, something ordinary people simply could not withstand... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Inside the Dan Book, Bai Ze glanced at Huo Feng’s anxious face, gently furrowed his brows, yet said nothing.

He tilted his head back to look at the sky not far away, as if he’d thought of that peerlessly beautiful face, a hint of softness flashing in his eyes.

"All these years, I’ve watched her walk this path step by step. No matter how dangerous it was, she would always turn misfortune into blessing. And... I trust her! The reason she didn’t use this time to run away is because she must have confidence in herself."

"But that’s the Nine-layered Karma Fire. Master wants to subdue it, yet to this day no one in this world has ever succeeded."

"If it’s her, then she can!"

The corner of Bai Ze’s lips curved into a shallow, gentle arc, his gaze filled with a faint warmth.

"Even if it’s something no one has accomplished in tens of thousands of years, I still believe she can do it. Moreover, whatever choice she makes, what we must do is believe in her. Even if she chooses wrong, at worst we just die with her. What’s so frightening about that?"

Huo Feng looked in astonishment at the man’s handsome features, deep shock written all over her alluring face.

She had long known Bai Ze’s feelings for Mu Ruyue ran deep, yet she had never imagined his love would reach such a degree...

No matter what she did, what he gave her was always trust and tolerance...

Even if this woman were to make a mistake, he would merely stay by her side and face that mistake together with her...

"At Master’s side there is Master Wuchen, who treats her with unwavering devotion, and there is you, who loves her with such infatuated persistence. Lord Wuwang can also rest easy about her..."

Huo Feng laughed. "You’re right. As her Demon Beasts, we must believe in everything she chooses to do!"

...

Within the Flames, Mu Ruyue’s face was deathly pale. Cold sweat slowly trickled down from her forehead, soon soaking through her clothes...

Yet in just a short while, the sweat on her body was evaporated by the Flames. Under that scorching heat, she felt as if she would soon be reduced to ashes...

Pain!

Right now, for Mu Ruyue, this was the only sensation in her entire body.

But she could not give up!

Only by succeeding could she go to hell to seek out that man...

Suddenly, the spiritual power she had released caught hold of a tiny thing that looked like a wisp of Element. Mu Ruyue’s eyes flew open, and she raised her hand, grabbing toward that direction.

"Found it..."

She seized that tiny thing and, without the slightest hesitation, stuffed it into her mouth.

Before the little thing could react, it entered Mu Ruyue’s body. It immediately flew into a rage, Flames surging out from it, burning Mu Ruyue’s internal organs to cinders...

In that instant, the Nine-layered Karma Fire outside her body vanished, yet her five viscera and six bowels began to throb with excruciating pain.

Her pallid face was terrifying to behold at this moment, cold sweat rolling down in an unending stream...

Time flowed by slowly; even Mu Ruyue herself no longer knew how long had passed...

Under that intense torment, her consciousness began to grow hazy, her body slowly collapsing toward the icy ground...

"Master, you can’t fall! Without your control, the Nine-layered Karma Fire inside your body will burn your organs completely clean!"

Huo Feng’s anxious voice rang out in her mind.

However, this long period of endurance had already left Mu Ruyue utterly exhausted, her vision gradually turning into a blur...
