Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 820: Chapter 434: Despicable Barrier

"Stay? Dream on!"

Ji Hui sneered coldly.

"The moment I entered the third layer, a multitude of Purple Fire surrounded me, and Gu Sheng must have faced the same. I didn’t see a trace of him inside; perhaps he turned to ashes after entering, haha..."

Ji Hui let out a hearty laugh, the kind that comes from losing all control in smug delight.

Hua Yunfei merely nodded in agreement, saying nothing more.

Gu Sheng, in the third layer, felt a suffocating sensation that made him think he was going to die here.

The Purple Fire here was even more scorching than the flames on the second layer.

Soon, Gu Sheng’s body began to show signs of charring under the searing heat of the Purple Fire.

"This Purple Fire..."

Gu Sheng looked worried.

If he couldn’t find a way to counter it, he’d eventually be devoured by the Purple Fire, reduced to ashes.

At that moment, Gu Sheng glanced toward the entrance, and after confirming Ji Hui had left, he flew towards it as well.

"I can’t stay!"

Gu Sheng said, rushing straight towards the entrance.

"Clang clang clang!"

As Gu Sheng’s body made contact with the exit, a numbing sensation swept over him.

Focusing his gaze, he saw that the entrance had been set up with a Barrier.

"How could this be..."

Gu Sheng was incredulous, as he charged it again with Divine Power.

Still, it was just like last time.

He simply couldn’t break through!

"That old hag Ji Hui, it must be her!"

Gu Sheng cursed furiously.

But now, no matter what he said, it was too late; to get out, he had to break through the Barrier.

Yet, the Barrier set by Ji Hui was too powerful, not to mention much of his Divine Power was exhausted. Breaking through it was like reaching for the stars!

"Hahaha..."

At this time, Ji Hui burst out laughing at the volcano’s entrance.

She sensed the force impacting the Barrier, confirming that Gu Sheng was desperately attempting to break through it.

"Ancestor, why are you laughing?"

A somewhat curious elder from the Ji family asked.

"Gu Sheng is trying to break through the Barrier I set; it’s likely close to collapse now."

Ji Hui said smugly.

"He... He won’t break through, will he?"

The Ji family elder asked.

Ji Hui shook her head directly: "Rest assured, I fed the Spell with an upper-level Great Void Skill, combined with my years of cultivation. Even I would need half a day to deal with it."

"Half a day, even if he knew how to break it, wouldn’t he have been burned to death by then? Haha..."

The other Ji family elders laughed along in agreement.

"Exactly, once there’s no reaction from the Barrier, we can be sure Gu Sheng has perished in the third layer of the Fire Domain."

Ji Hui nodded.

"Ssssss!"

Suddenly, the protective shield around Gu Sheng’s body began to melt.

The power of the Spiritual Spring was also gradually dissipating under the searing heat of the Purple Fire.

Seeing the dire situation, Gu Sheng began mobilizing the Primordial Qi within him, attempting to resist the Purple Fire.

As the Primordial Qi was stimulated by the Purple Fire, it became more active, seeming to resonate with the Purple Fire.

"This..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

He realized that the Purple Fire could actually aid him in cultivating, enhancing the purity of his Primordial Qi.

Gu Sheng immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Assisted by the Purple Fire, his Divine Power rapidly increased.

Simultaneously, his body became more resilient under the intense heat of the Purple Fire.

Time silently passed in cultivation, as Gu Sheng’s strength gradually grew.

Outside the third layer, Ji Hui and the other elders of the Ji family were waiting.

They knew Gu Sheng’s chances of survival in the third layer were negligible.

"Elder Ji Hui, shouldn’t we go in to take a look?"

Hua Yunfei, standing beside Ji Hui, asked.

Ji Hui shook her head: "No need, the Purple Fire in the third layer is beyond what we can endure. Gu Sheng in there will eventually be consumed by the Purple Fire."

After speaking, Ji Hui closed her eyes slightly, sensing her Barrier through Divine Sense.

About the time of a short incense stick later, Ji Hui opened her eyes with a smile.

"Haha... There’s no movement from the Barrier anymore, which suggests Gu Sheng must have died in the third layer of the Fire Domain."

Ji Hui smiled and nodded.

Finishing her words, Ji Hui prepared to take Hua Yunfei and the other elders of the Ji family away from this perilous place.

Because they had achieved their goal, there was no reason to linger.

However, just as they were about to leave, a flash of white light suddenly streaked across the sky.

Ji Hui looked up, seeing Bai Yiyi with two Demon Clan members, flying toward them like meteors.

"Ji Hui, where is Gu Sheng?"

Bai Yiyi’s voice trembled slightly.

Not seeing Gu Sheng, she suspected he might have met with an unthinkable fate.

"Hehe."

Ji Hui displayed a smug smile.

Everyone could guess Bai Yiyi’s emotions from her anxious expression.

"Bai Yiyi, you’re too late, Gu Sheng is already dead within the Fire Domain."

With that, Ji Hui pointed towards the volcano’s entrance.

"What!"

Bai Yiyi’s face instantly turned pale.

At this moment, her body began to tremble slightly, her eyes of despair filled with cold killing intent.

Soon, a surge of furious energy erupted forth.

"Ji Hui, I’ll bury you with him!"

Bai Yiyi roared, her entire body’s Divine Power surging, as she charged towards Ji Hui.

"Whoosh!"

However, just as she flew close to Ji Hui, several elders of the Ji family and Hua Yunfei struck simultaneously.

Their combined power formed a formidable shockwave.

Bai Yiyi, blinded by hatred, cared for nothing else.

At that moment, all she wanted was Ji Hui’s life.

Yet, before Bai Yiyi could approach Ji Hui, she felt a powerful force sweep towards her.
