Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 624: The Cold Cave of the Demon Forest
"Damned fool!"
"How dare you target my Heavenly Sword Gate!" Once the identity was confirmed, Elder Bai's wrath filled the heavens, and his eyes flickered with an icy light, constantly slicing through the sky.
"No matter who you are, I will flay your skin, strip your muscles, pulverize your bones, and scatter your ashes!"
He emitted a terrifying aura, his ferocious oppressive force wildly sweeping across, causing the wind and clouds to shift.
His gaze was locked onto Ji Huo'er and the other three, who had already entered Mount Sumeru.
This made Ji Huo'er, who was inside Mount Sumeru, shiver suddenly.
"Eh, which guy is thinking about this lady!" Ji Huo'er patted her flat chest.
At this time, she didn't know that their identities had been exposed and that, after three days, the moment they stepped out of Mount Sumeru, it would incite the boundless fury of a Supreme Saint Expert.
But she couldn't care less about that, because she was transported to a nauseating area, which greatly annoyed her.
The mountain forest was dense, and the paths were rugged; she couldn't fly here due to the prohibition on flight pervading the area.
Within the dense forest, the rotting smell wafted over in waves, sickening to the stomach— it was the scent of wild beasts and fruits after rotting, mixed with the pungent smell of fresh blood in the midst of the forest.
The further Ji Huo'er went, the stronger the stench of decay and filth became.
And the scent of blood spreading through the air grew increasingly pungent.
New monster corpses appeared around.
"Damn it, this lady always has good luck, why would I be teleported to such a detestable place!" Ji Huo'er grumbled as she walked forward.
She did not know that Mount Sumeru was the Holy Mountain where Buddhism suppressed fierce and demonic beasts, so even though there were great opportunities here, it was also genuinely a land of danger.
Within Mount Sumeru, more than half of the areas were like this environment.
She walked for a good half day and still hadn't left this region.
Instead, the ground was covered in a vast expanse of bright red, with trees, the earth, and rocks all dyed red.
The corpses of demonic beasts were strewn haphazardly throughout the forest, their deaths not long past.
"Huh, what is this thing? What could have killed so many fierce beasts!"
Although these fierce beasts had not been deceased for long, the bite marks on their wounds were still clearly visible, likely made by other stronger monsters.
Even though the smell here was more repugnant, she instantly became interested.
"If there is a powerful fierce beast lurking around, there must be some powerful Supreme Treasure! I knew this lady's luck has always been good!"
With curiosity and excitement, she continued to follow the direction of the blood and the monster corpses.
Outside Mount Sumeru, because Ye Shiyi and the others had impersonated the Thirteenth Prince, many cultivators were very attentive to the movements of the four.
Elder Fu Hu had also recognized Ji Huo'er and the others, paying even closer attention.
When he saw the corpses Ji Huo'er came across on the way, displayed on the light screen, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
A tremendous shock rose from the depths of his heart: "How is this possible? That is... That is the ancestor of the Demon Fox!"
"It, how could it still be alive?"
Elder Fu Hu was hit with a wave of shock and awe, but then he calmed down, thinking: "No, that Demon Fox ancestor was already severely injured when it was suppressed into Mount Sumeru, it should have already perished.
"This could be its descendant!"
The Demon Fox Ancestor rampaged across the Heavenly Mountain Range ninety thousand years ago and was captured by a Buddha from Golden Buddha Mountain and suppressed within Mount Sumeru.
This was the last fierce beast suppressed by Mount Sumeru, later taken away by the combined efforts of emperors from the three great sects.

The Demon Fox Ancestor had nearly reached the cultivation level of a Demon Emperor that year, today if it had survived, it would have certainly broken through to become a Great Emperor and would not appear in the central area, but rather in the core area.
"However, even if its true form has not descended, dealing with a demon fox will be very difficult for this girl, who is merely at the Immortal Platform Realm,"
Elder Fu Hu wanted to warn Ji Huo'er to stay away from this place, but with the passage of Mount Sumeru closed, even he had no way of reaching out.
Ji Huo'er continued forward following the trail of carcasses, and before long, she reached the edge of a cliff.
Below this cliff lay a pile of bones, corpses strewn about, including the already rotting bodies of fierce beasts, as well as freshly added corpses.
The evil Qi in this place soared to the heavens, chilling one to the bone.
Even as bold as Ji Huo'er was, at this point her scalp tingled, and a cold chill ran down her spine.
Below the cliff, there was a dark cave entrance—pitch-black, with nothing visible inside, but exuding a terrifying sensation that seized one's soul.
It was like an ancient fierce beast opening its gaping maw, ready to swallow all creatures that enter the cave.
"Strange, there seems to be something in the cave calling to me!"
Ji Huo'er really wanted to turn back; the abyss-like cave gave her a strong sense of crisis, and the aura made her heart palpitate.
Yet at this time, she felt that there was something inside the cave calling to her.
It was a contradictory feeling—danger and opportunity coexisted.
"Hmph, I want to see just what kind of ghostly thing is inside!"
In the end, Ji Huo'er steeled her mind and walked toward the clifftop cave, having relied too much on Qinchuan so far on this journey; not entering upon encountering such an opportunity would be too embarrassing for her.
The cave was pitch-dark, devoid of light; her feet trod upon white bones on the ground, with countless bones breaking, emitting a series of "crunch" sounds.
Since she had decided to break into this place, Ji Huo'er calmed the timidity in her heart and firmed her Dao heart.
Bursts of red flames emanated from her body, and a vivid Fire Fox Dharma Aspect appeared behind her, lighting up the cavern.
Where the firelight shone, the cave seemed bottomless; with a faint chide from Ji Huo'er, echoes reverberated through the space.
The cave was damp and cold, with sticky mucus constantly dripping from above, which was very disgusting, and as she continued forward, the coldness around her grew stronger.
The Gang Wind blowing from the depths of the cave brushed across her face like the terrifying energy of blades sweeping toward her.
Moving forward in this cave, each step was excruciating, as if being tortured in an endless purgatory.
Ji Huo'er clenched her teeth tightly and proceeded toward the depths of the earth.
Probably another half day had passed, and she had wasted an entire day in this part of the Demon Forest.
Mount Sumeru was only open for three days, and now she had squandered the first day here.
However, at this point, her stubbornness had kicked in; if she reached the depths of this cave, she would certainly not relent.
Finally, a dazzling divine light appeared ahead, and she saw the end of the cavern.
At the end of the cave, space was twisting, waves of hazy mist rising, emanating a strange light, clearly indicating that the place was protected by an array.
This array was made from piles of bones, and at its center, were two different forces of gold and black colors swirling around, two entirely different energies that should have collided and exploded upon contact. Yet at this moment, they didn't interfere with each other, coexisting within the same array.
