Qingyin slowly opened her eyes.

"It's so hot... Where am I?"

The sky was a dark red, and all around her, towering rivers of shining lava flowed from massive floating bronze furnaces, converging into a network of fiery veins that covered the desolate black ground.

Qingyin checked her body and found no injuries. She wore a white dress that exposed her round shoulders. The dress was long, only revealing her bare feet.

In her hand was a black sword, and Qingyin sensed the fluctuations of the Four Heavenly Demonesses Formation within it. However, her storage bracelet was empty, and she tried to contact the four beautiful women of the Demon Realm through the sword but received no response.

"How is this possible?" Qingyin tried to contact Xu Chen but couldn't sense his presence at all. Furthermore, she had no means of communication. How could she transmit her voice?

Qingyin instinctively felt that the black sword was quite mysterious, so she stored it in her storage bracelet. However, she felt uneasy and shrunk the sword to half the length of her finger with a thought. After carefully surveying the surroundings and confirming that no one was around, she tucked the small sword into the side of her underwear, not inhibiting her movement.

Qingyin adjusted her dress and looked out at the endless expanse of lava and black rock. She didn't know which way to go.

"Star Dance sister... where are you?" Qingyin had no intention of escaping from this unexpected world and planned to continue searching for her sister, Star Dance.

Since she didn't know which way to go, she relied on her woman's intuition and randomly chose a direction to walk.

In the distance, Qingyin saw a large bull within the lava. It was completely black, ugly, and had a snake's tail. Flames of scorching heat bellowed from its nose, and it viewed the lava as if it were a clear spring.

Qingyin was cautious. This bull actually possessed the strength of a Demon Sovereign! Although Qingyin's strength had reached the peak of a Demon Sovereign due to her cultivation in the Four Heavenly Demonesses Formation, she didn't dare to be careless. After all, this was a yao mo in the deepest part of the Demon Realm. Who knows what kind of special abilities it had!

So, Qingyin silently tiptoed around the bull.

When she reached a distance of several dozen meters from the bull, there was only a few-meter-wide path leading forward. Qingyin had no choice but to walk on that path. She didn't look at the bull, but her mind remained alert, always paying attention to it.

The bull also noticed Qingyin but was indifferent, burying its head in the lava. It didn't think much of this young girl walking alone in the depths of purgatory.

However, suddenly, Qingyin's flowing white dress and intermittently exposed bare feet seemed to catch its interest.

"Boom!!" Lava erupted like a volcanic explosion. Qingyin quickly turned around, hopping backward while her hand formed a shield with an ice crystal revolving around it, blocking the lava.

The bull stomped its four hooves on the lava, causing it to rise and form a swirling wave that surrounded the black bull.

Lowering its head, the bull charged towards Qingyin.

With a gentle tap, Qingyin soared into the air. Of course, she could fly but preferred not to waste energy!

Qingyin didn't intend to provoke the native demon at the deepest part of the Demon Realm, but since the other party attacked, she had no choice but to fight back!

At this moment, Qingyin had cultivated the Four Heavenly Demonesses Formation and had gained insights from her previous role as the Fate Princess in the Sea of Chaos. Her realm was extremely high, and her strength was not weak. She was no longer the weak and submissive girl she used to be!

Now, she carried the expectations of Xu Chen and the fate of her sister, Star Dance. She could no longer be as weak as before! She had to fight decisively!

Qingyin felt that this Demon Sovereign-level bull was not worth using the black sword. She held her wrist with one hand, and an ancient formation appeared in her hand.

"Ice of Mystery!"

Within the formation, there appeared a translucent light blue spear made of ice. "Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" It flew towards the bull.

The Xuanbing spear was extremely sharp and cold. It was inserted into the burning body of the bull, causing great damage to its demonic body.

The bull was furious, stepping on one flame array after another to ascend into the air, running and jumping towards Qingyin level by level.

Although Qingyin could fly freely, she quickly raised her height, facing the bull while a dragon-headed ice blade appeared in her hand.

When she reached a certain height, she suddenly soared into the air, turned around and swiftly dove down, with the bull intending to ram into Qingyin with its massive head.

At a critical moment, Qingyin dodged effortlessly as her body shifted slightly, and her ice blade slashed down, leaving a deep cut on the side of the bull. The bull's demonic body was being consumed by a large amount of icy demonic energy, and it let out a roar of anger.

With a light kick in the air, Qingyin jumped back and struck again with her blade, tearing the bull's body apart with the bright blue ice crystal blade light. Then, lifting both arms, she slashed horizontally and diagonally!

Several consecutive strikes almost shattered the bull!

Feeling the threat of death due to serious injuries, the bull howled and fled in panic, diving into the lava and dare not come out again.

"Hmph!" Qingyin snorted coldly and landed on the ground, continuing on her way.

As she walked, Qingyin noticed a little ghost dancing and singing a seemingly cheerful but unpleasant song on this land of flowing lava.

Seeing this, Qingyin realized that the little ghost was only at the level of a king of demons, so she decided to approach and tease him to gather some information.

She walked up and watched the little ghost squeal for a while before asking, "What are you singing?"

The little ghost seemed startled by Qingyin's presence. He jumped back and then turned his head to see a long-haired beauty, his eyes lighting up involuntarily. "You, where did you come from, Sister Heavenly Fairy?"

"I asked you first," Qingyin replied.

"I, I finally collected all twelve Fire Spirit Stones! I can join the Devouring Heaven Sect now!" the little ghost exclaimed while jumping.

"The Devouring Heaven Sect?"

"Yes, Sister Heavenly Fairy, don't you know? The Devouring Heaven Sect is the greatest demonic sect of this generation. To join the sect, one must undergo a selection test. And the entrance gift is these twelve Fire Spirit Stones."

"Oh? So you've gathered all of them?" Qingyin asked.

"Indeed! That's why I'm going to the Devouring Heaven Sect to present the entrance gift!" the little ghost said excitedly.

"Can you take me there?" Qingyin asked.
