<h4>Chapter 625 - Sixth Layer of the Demon World</h4>


    After he spoke, Long Chen ran towards the gigantic wheel of fire, ignoring the mes that wrapped around him. mes like that could not cause him any harm.


    When the gigantic wheel was in front of him, Long Chen looked up and said, “Xiang,e out. I’ll leave it up to you now.”


    Xiang had grown very powerful throughout his time with Long Chen, proving that this decision to follow him had been the right one. If he had stayed in Cangyang Kingdom ore out on his own without Long Chen’s luck and protection, he probably would have been killed by some guy who was out hunting demonic beasts.


    Even Long Chen himself had killed many demonic beasts.


    Demonic beasts and humans killed each other at all times in the Dragon Continent. Very few humans were like the Battle n, who managed to tame the beasts so they would fight alongside humans, even bing friends. Both races had been enemies for as long as anyone could remember.


    Long Yue and the others watched Long Chen, not knowing what he was doing. Then Long Chen opened his arms, and a ck shadow shot out of his chest and instantly expanded into arge, muscr, ck wolf, who leaped towards the fiery wheel!


    “Xiang?” Long Yue squinted. She remembered a demonic beast who always followed Long Chen around. Long Chen had once shown them Xiang when they were at Phantom Ravine, so she recognized him.


    “That’s a demonic beast! What’s the use of that?” said the gray-robed teenager, speechless. He thought Long Chen would take out some life-changing piece of treasure to part the mes and clear a path for them.


    “I don’t know either, but Seventh Brother has always been reliable. When I first met him, he was not even at the Earthly Martial Realm yet, but now he’s stronger than us. Don’t you guys think he’s terrifying?” There was a proud smile on Long Yue’s face.


    The teenager was a little unhappy when he sensed that the other Long Chen was ranked higher in his sister’s heart than himself. He pouted and said, “Is he really that strong? We’ll see, then. Even Grandfather can’t do anything about the mes; I don’t believe he can help.”


    Xiang was almost twenty meters tall. Long Chen stood behind him, though he was only as tall as Xiang’s foot.


    This was the maximum size a Category One King-tier Sun Devouring Wolf could reach.


    As he grew stronger, he would likely growrger too.


    Therger a King tier beast was, the stronger they were.


    <i>He’s going to start soon. </i>There was a smile on Long Chen’s face as he watched his brother perform with great satisfaction.


    Mo Xiang’s strength was also his strength.


    “Awooo ...”


    Mo Xiang unleashed a chilling howl at the skies. His howl was filled with power, blowing the surrounding mes away. It was clear just how excited he was.


    Then Xiang ran towards the fiery wheel. Everyone watched in shock as the gigantic wolf leaped into it!


    Although he wasrge, he was tinypared to the wheel.


    He was merely a tiny, ck dot in front of the gigantic fire wheel, but he was about to trigger a huge change. The wheel, which was spinning at high speed, started to shake, or more specifically, it trembled. It was like a man who had swallowed poison, curling up on the ground.


    <i>Whoosh ...</i>


    The mes on the wheel stopped shooting out in all directions. The fast-spinning wheel instantly slowed down to almost a stop. The wheel turned into a fireball, and it was quickly shrinking!


    Long Chen saw a tiny, ck dot at the center of the sky-high fireball.


    He knew that it was Xiang.


    The dot was emitting an immense and terrifying aura!


    Long Yue and the others also saw the strange phenomenon. In the beginning, they did not have much hope, but now their jaws were on the ground, especially the gray-clothed teenager’s. His lip trembled as he stuttered, “Th-th-that ... that demonic wolf! It’s only at Category One King-tier, but why is it so ... strange?”


    The Sun Devouring Wolf seemed to control the sky-high mes. Previously, he thought that Long Chen could not do anything with the fire, but now he realized that he had underestimated Long Chen. His face turned red with embarrassment.


    Long Shan was shocked too. After studying Xiang, he asked, “Yue’er, do you know what the kid’s demonic beast is called?”


    Long Yue replied, “I think it’s called the Sun Devouring Wolf. It’s a mutated type, and I think Seventh Brother gave it this name.”


    “Sun Devouring Wolf ... Sun Devouring Wolf. That’s amazing! That beast swallows beast fire! It’s no ordinary beast at all! I’ve never heard of a beast like that in my life!”


    There was a solemn look in Long Shan’s eyes.


    “Is that beast really that powerful?” Long Shan was currently the strongest master in the Divine Martial Empire, and the gray-clothed teenager was shocked at how highly Long Shan spoke of the Sun Devouring Wolf.


    He resented Long Chen at first, but when he saw that Long Chen could make such a terrifying beast submit to him, he knew that there was something special about him.


    “I don’t know either, but it’s unheard of for a beast to have the ability to swallow beast fire! Thank goodness for this kid! We’ll surely get out of the Nine Spirit Purgatory now!” said Long Shan with augh.


    Anyone would want to get out of this cursed ce.


    “Yue’er, this teenager has many extraordinary qualities and even has a demonic beast like that. He is a very lucky person. If you have a good rtionship with him and even help him, you’ll surely benefit greatly!” Long Shan said wistfully as he stroked his beard.


    “Really?” Long Yue was a little stunned. When she previously saved Long Chen, she never imagined something like this would happen. However, if she had not helped him then, even the other members of the Dragon n would not be doing as well as they were today.


    While they chatted, what was once the fire wheel changed once more. The gigantic fireball that touched the sky was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. As time passed, the fireball shrank more and more, and the surrounding temperature fell. Even the red ground slowly dimmed into a gray color.


    “Sess.” Long Chen broke into a grin.


    The beast fire was the reason why this ce was fiery-red. After Xiang swallowed it, thisnd quickly returned to its original look, which was identical to the rest of the Nine Spirit Purgatory.


    The gray sky slowly reappeared in front of them.


    The fireball on the horizon shrank until it disappeared, and a gigantic, ck, demonic wolf appeared. Red mes burned brightly on his body.


    The Sun Devouring Wolf hadpletely reced the fire wheel.


    Although they had expected this oue, Long Shan and the others were still shaken. They looked at each other with bitter smiles.


    Long Chen and his demonic beast were simply extraordinary.


    The burning, fiery wolf ran towards Long Chen, turned into a ray of fiery-red light, and dashed into his chest.


    Everything returned to its original peace and quiet.


    Long Chen knew that due to the unknown beast fire, Xiang’s cultivation was about to progress greatly. It would surely prove much more beneficial than the Blue Devil me.


    After swallowing the beast fire, Xiang would fall into a deep slumber. When he woke up, he would be stronger once more. When he progressed to the King tier, it was a metamorphosis, so he had slept for quite a while. It would probably not take as long this time.


    Previously, the sound of fire crackling filled the ce, but now it was quiet. Long Shan and the others quickly rushed towards Long Chen and soon, they were by his side. Before they could praise Xiang’s extraordinary abilities, their eyes were attracted to something in front of them.


    A ripple suddenly appeared in the air in front of them, resembling a whirlpool. It was like a ripple forming on ake.


    “This must be the exit. Let’s get out of here.” Long Chen went ahead without hesitation and quickly embedded himself into the ripples.


    “That young man has some guts,” Long Shan said approvingly.


    “If he didn’t, would he daree here alone to save me? He’s probably the first person to ever voluntarily enter the Nine Spirit Purgatory!” Long Yue smiled, then she disappeared into the ripples. The other two followed and disappeared from the Nine Spirit Purgatory.

    Seven Layered Demon World. Sixthyer. Royal pce of the Ancient Demon Domain.


    There were seven pavilions and one royal pce in the Ancient Demon Domain. The seven pavilions were scattered across the mountains while the royal pce was located in the sixthyer of the Seven Layered Demon World. Only people at the ranks of Demon Generals and above could enter the royal pce.


    Many Grand Elders lived in the pce. Most importantly, the Demon Emperor’s family was there too.


    The royal pce was built morevishly and magnificently than the pavilions. It was fully ck, making it look imposing and serious. Their servants trained inside and would live there for the rest of their lives to serve the other residents. All the servants walked around with their heads hung, stepping cautiously and not daring to make a single mistake.


    The royal pce was the core of the Ancient Demon Domain. As a major faction of the Divine Martial Empire, all the wealth and power of the faction was disyed in the pce.
