Chapter 1323: Fighting for the Immortal Sutra

"Human, why are you in possession of the Gold Saint's flame?" asked the Hell Snake King, completely stunned.

The Gold Saint was incredibly famous during the ancient era. His Golden Flames were also renowned in the world of self-cultivation. Regardless of species, everyone and everything was afraid of it.

At the inquiry of the Hell Snake King, Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows and said, "You know about the Golden Flames? Not bad, you know quite a lot!"

The Hell Snake King's face darkened. Qingfeng Li had absorbed its black flame, indicating that his Golden Flames was hotter than its black hell flame. If it used the black flames again, it would be absorbed once again.

"Bastard, I will kill you even if you have the golden flames in your hand." The Hell Snake King glowered at Qingfeng Li, its tone icy cold.

Qingfeng Li felt irritated. He thought that by using the Golden Flames, he would scare off the Hell Snake King. Apparently, he had thought wrong.

"Hell Snake King, since you want to die, come at me!" Qingfeng Li said confidently, putting away his Golden Flames.

Qingfeng Li couldn't use the Golden Flames too many times.

He had already used it once and didn't want to waste it again. He needed to save it for obtaining the Saint-Perishing Fruit. As for the Hell Snake King, Qingfeng Li had other plans to take care of it.

There was still the Fire Dragon Soul in Qingfeng Li's brain. It was a godly dragon of the heavens and earth, capable of dominating all serpent type demonic beasts, except the Sky-Devouring Snake. The Sky-Devouring Snake was the ancestor of snakes and was not under the control of the Fire Dragon.

"Senior Fire Dragon, help me battle the Hell Snake King," Qingfeng said telepathically to the Fire Dragon's Soul in his brain.

The Fire Dragon nodded and said, "Alright, I ate your Saint Soil before, so I'll help you this time."

The Fire Dragon flew out from Qingfeng Li's brain, exuding a Godly Dragon Aura. The Godly Dragon looked incredibly daunting, covering the sky and the sun, lighting up the entire atmosphere, and heating up the air with red, torrid flames.

The Hell Snake King's face dropped in panic, trembling from fear, prostrating its body on the ground, too afraid to even lift its head.

The Hell Snake King was a serpent type demonic beast of Hell and snakes were naturally afraid of dragons. On top of that, beasts from Hell were the most fearful of flames, so the Hell Snake King was utterly paralyzed by the appearance of the Fire Dragon's Soul.

"Hell Snake King, since you dared to hurt Qingfeng Li, I'm sentencing you to death." The Fire Dragon's Soul looked down upon the Hell Snake King with cold eyes.

Shoo!

The Fire Dragon Soul opened its mouth and spat out a ray of red flame. The red flame was one of the original sources of fire between the heavens and earth. Carrying an immense power, it directly shot into the body of the Hell Snake King.

The Hell Snake King screamed out in pain, its massive body engulfed by the powerful flames disappeared into nothingness.

In the blink of an eye, the once unrivalled Hell Snake King vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed.

At the sight of its death, the surrounding 10,000 hell snakes were all sent into a panic. They were all trembling with fear, with some even fainting to the ground.

"You have three seconds to run. You are not to attack Qingfeng Li if you meet him again." At the sight of more than 10,000 hell snakes, the Fire Dragon warned coldly.

Shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo...

At the Fire Dragon Soul's words, more than 10,000 hell snakes turned and ran for their lives, faster than rabbits, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Qingfeng Li looked at the Fire Dragon Soul with confusion in his eyes. He asked, "Why didn't you kill the rest of the hell snakes?"

The Fire Dragon Soul explained, "Kid, of course I want to kill them all. But my abilities are limited right now. Although I have refined the Saint Soil, I've only regained part of my spirit energy. Killing one Hell Snake King wasn't too difficult but killing 10,000 hell snakes? That's impossible."

"Senior Fire Dragon, what do I do if the hell snakes attack me again?" Qingfeng Li asked, uttering his worry.

The Fire Dragon Soul said, "Don't worry, I've already instructed them not to attack you. Also, now that their leader, the Hell Snake King is dead, they are all scared out of their wits. They won't attack any human self-cultivators for the next while."

Hearing the Fire Dragon Soul's words, Qingfeng Li breathed out a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to battle 10,000 hell snakes. That would be terrifying.

"Let's keep going." Qingfeng Li led the others forward.

Black Puppy guided them in the front. It was very familiar with the area and brought the group of people to the entrance of the second level of Hell in no time.

A very tall mountain greeted them. It was so tall that it looked endless, its mountaintop fusing into the skies.

It was completely made of black rocks, dark as could be, emitting a bone-chilling atmosphere, and surrounded by a black fog.

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows and asked, "Little dog, is this the entrance to the second layer of hell? Where is the entrance? I don't see it."

Black Puppy smiled lightly and pointed to a rock beneath the foot of the mountain. "The entrance to the second layer of Hell is beneath that rock," said Black Puppy.

Just as Qingfeng Li raised his right foot, about to head forward, a sudden golden ray of light shot pass them. A golden book flew across the skies and arrived before the huge black rock.

The golden rock exuded a golden light, incredibly brilliant. On top of it were tadpole-like characters, completely illegible.

These were characters from the period of the ancient continents, and the book was written in immortal text, completely incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Black Puppy's face lit up with delight, yelling, "Immortal Sutra! This is the Immortal Sutra!"

Qingfeng Li was overjoyed as well. He had always wanted to obtain the Immortal Sutra.

Qingfeng Li said, "Little dog, Sky-Devouring Snake, let's go together and get that Immortal Sutra."

Both the Black Puppy and the Sky-Devouring Snake rubbed their hands together in anticipation, overwhelmed with excitement. They knew that the appearance of an Immortal Sutra within Hell came once in a lifetime. It was an incredible treasure.

Anyone who obtained it could use it to practice, and gain a chance at becoming an Immortal.

Qingfeng Li and the others were just about to rush up the mountain when a couple of people flew to them. They were very fast, arriving before the foot of the Hell Mountain instantly.

These people all exuded powerful energies. Qingfeng Li had met them previously outside the foot of the Kunlun Mountain. They were all sect masters of different Emperor-Level sects.

The person at the forefront was Jianhuang Zhao, the sect master of the Sword-Emperor Sect. Standing next to him was Yihuang Shou, the sect master of the Beast-Emperor sect, and Huohuang Fu, the sect master of the Talisman-Emperor Sect.

Qingfeng Li's expression turned heavy. The last time he saw them was outside the cave abode. They were at the time still half-step Spirit Emperor Realm masters. Now that they had entered the first layer of Hell, they all seemed to have acquired treasures and were now all Spirit Emperor Realm masters.
