Chapter 231: Demonic Qi, Sudden System Mission (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, a system notification suddenly sounded in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.
[Achievement mission issued. Host, please complete 100 attempts to resist the demonic Qi.]
[Current Progress: o%]
[1%, 2%, 3%]
Hearing the system’s notification, Jiang Chengxuan was caught off guard.
Obviously, he did not expect the system to give him such a mission under such circumstances.
With the Crimson Sun Pill, this mission could be achieved effortlessly.
However, Jiang Chengxuan quickly sensed that something was wrong.
Not long after this mission appeared, the medicinal effect of the Crimson Sun Pill was wearing off much quicker than before.
One pill could last about two to four hours for someone else, but for him, it could only last twenty minutes.
This decrease was quite significant.
Moreover, as time passed, the rate of consumption was still increasing.
Jiang Chengxuan roughly estimated that under such circumstances, the effect of a Crimson Sun Pill on him would probably last less than eight minutes.
As expected.
About eight minutes later.
The effect of the Crimson Sun Pill he had taken previously had completely disappeared.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan could clearly feel an aura filled with evil, cold, and malice starting to creep up his body and devour him.
In his mind, the scenes of mounds of skeletons, corpses, and all kinds of cruel scenes appeared.
Even the circulation of the Dharmic power in his body became slightly sluggish.
If this state continued for too long, it would have a huge negative impact on his consciousness.
At this moment where a tough battle was ahead of him, this huge negative impact would definitely cause a huge decrease in their combat strength.
He looked at his mission progress to find that it had already reached 23%.
In other words, the effect of a Crimson Sun Pill could help him complete about a quarter of the mission.
According to this situation, after he completed the system’s mission, he should still have two to three Crimson Sun Pills left.
Hopefully, the reward this time will give me the ability to resist the Demonic Qi.
As he thought, Jiang Chengxuan took out another Crimson Sun Pill and swallowed it.
At this moment.
The group had already gone quite a distance into this Demon Cave.
However, what puzzled everyone was that they did not see a single demonic cultivator along the way.
What is going on?
Could it be that they were all hiding?
Or could it be that they were stalling for time until all their Crimson Sun Pills were consumed before making a move?
This was very possible.
After all, they were playing an away game.
The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
Hou Dongbai, Li Mingkong, Daoist Kun Xu, and the others, who were in the lead, clearly realized this problem.
Daoist Kun Xu suddenly took out an array disk from his body and started to cast a spell.
Immediately, a dazzling beam of light rose from the array disk.
The beam of light pointed in a certain direction.
Daoist Kun Xu said, “Everyone, if I’m not wrong, those rats should be hiding there.”
With that, Daoist Kun Xu led the way and flew in the direction the light was pointing.
When the others saw this, they immediately followed.
Boom!
Just as everyone arrived at the location of the beam light, a blast of surging demonic fire suddenly exploded.
The dark demonic fire instantly swept past the bodies of the two early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
TWo miserable cries sounded as their bodies were quickly engulfed in the demonic fire.
Then, everyone was shocked to discover that after the demonic fire devoured the bodies of the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it seemed to have become bigger.
Li Mingkong’s expression changed drastically.
“Not good! This is the Life-Devouring Demonic Fire. Everyone, don’t let it get close to you!”
With that, Li Mingkong raised his hand, bringing out an aqua-blue gourd.
Then, blue water gushed out of the aqua-blue gourd.
When the water and fire collided, thick smoke immediately rose,
Following a series of sizzling sounds, Hou Dongbai, Wen Shujun, Daoist Hai Zhen, and the others all made a move.
In an instant, all kinds of sword lights, saber lights, spear shadows, and colorful spells aimed at the Life-Devouring Demonic Fire.
Under this combined attack, the Life-Devouring Demonic Fire was quickly extinguished.
It was also at this moment that hundreds and thousands of demonic cultivators finally appeared in everyone’s divine sense.
The cultivation levels of these demonic cultivators ranged from Qi Refinement to the Violet Palace.
However, there were no signs of the Golden Core yet.
Even the Demon Sun who had appeared outside earlier was nowhere to be seen.
Hou Dongbai realized that this might be the tactic by the high-level demonic cultivators to stall for time and exhaust their strength.
Using these demonic cultivators below the Golden Core as cannon fodder could deplete some of their Dharmic power.
As for why these demonic cultivators below the Golden Core were willing to die, the answer was very simple. They must have been cast with a restriction.
Once they disobeyed or resisted, what awaited them was definitely death.
Between instant death and possible chance of survival, what would they choose?
The answer was self-evident.
Therefore, when the cultivators of both sides broke out in a fight, the fight quickly escalated into an all-out war.
All kinds of Dharma artifacts, Dharma treasures, and spells kept lighting up this dark space.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and the others were also involved in a fight with several Violet Palace demonic cultivators.
A gray-robed demonic cultivator and a red-haired demonic cultivator had even reached the late-stage.
The red-haired demonic cultivator was lashing out crazily at Huang Yao and the others, giving them a lot of pressure.
Soon, they were at a disadvantage.
In midair, a blood-colored saber slashed down, causing them to retreat continuously.
They almost couldn’t stabilize themselves.
At the same time.
Against Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the gray-robed demonic cultivator was also merciless.
He raised his hand and waved.
In midair, a scythe-shaped Dharma treasure suddenly split into countless scythe shadows and slashed at the couple’s heads!
Beside him, two other early-stage Violet Palace demonic cultivators also activated the Dharma treasures in their hands to interfere with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
The couple was not particularly flustered.
Shen Ruyan waved her hand casually.
Clouds floated out of the defensive Dharma treasure, the Heavenly Light Umbrella, and instantly blocked the attacks of the two early-stage Violet Palace demonic cultivators.
At the same time.
Jiang Chengxuan took out his black metal rod and collided with the scythe Dharma treasure!
