At this moment, his expression became even more unpleasant.
He was, after all, a member of the demon race, and was naturally afraid of anything hot.
However, driven by a desire for revenge, he was willing to risk his life to venture into the unbearably hot volcanic hell.
"You all seem to be very sensitive to heat!"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll cast a spell to cool you down."
Before he finished speaking, he activated a spell with his hand, and a light blue bead floated in mid-air.
"This is... the Water Spirit Orb!"
The fairy in the book suddenly widened her eyes.
"Good eye!"
Li Yao smiled gently.
"So this is the Water Spirit Orb!"
"Such a cold aura!"
The Heavenly Ghost King and the Wuhuan exchanged a glance, both quite surprised.
Then, Li Yao made a hand seal, and strands of crystal-clear, cool and moist water essence emerged from the Water Spirit Pearl, glowing blue in the air, spreading over everyone like the cold waves of a clear moon.
Originally, the immortals and others in the book felt unbearably hot and stuffy at the entrance to this volcanic hell. However, after the water spirit was added to their bodies, they felt as if a cool spring was rising from the bottom of their hearts, which quickly spread to their limbs and bones, making them feel extremely refreshed and comfortable.
"I feel much better now!"
"This Water Spirit Orb is truly amazing!"
The immortals in the book were pleasantly surprised.
With the protection of the water spirit, they headed straight into the depths of the volcanic hell.
Deep within the volcanic hell, everywhere is filled with intensely hot volcanic lava.
The lava flowed slowly, its bright red color dazzling, like a venomous snake slowly slithering, ready to devour the group of people walking on the rocky path at any moment.
Besides the terrifying volcanic lava, many demons under the Fire Demon King's command also came to stop them from advancing.
Unfortunately, these monsters were too weak. Li Yao didn't even need to lift a finger; the Heavenly Ghost King alone easily dealt with them.
Soon, Li Yao and his group arrived at the Fire Ghost King's lair, the Fire Ghost Palace, located at the lowest level.
Unlike palaces in the human world, the Fire Ghost Palace is a natural cave.
Fiery red magma surges between the jagged stalactite columns.
There is only one passageway made of black crystal among them, leading straight to the center of the Fire Demon Palace.
At the end of this road stands a magnificent throne.
Seated on the throne was none other than the Fire Ghost King, whom Li Yao and his group were searching for.
Chapter 540 The Fire Demon King Turned into a Drowning Chicken
"You are the Fire Demon King?"
Li Yao glanced at the Fire Ghost King on the throne.
The Fire Demon King was enormous, its body entirely fiery red, surrounded by billowing clouds of fire.
Amidst the billowing fire mist, the Fire Demon King had a head shaped like a bamboo basket, eyes like copper bells, a triangular forehead, and bared fangs, making him look extremely ferocious.
Perhaps due to the heat of the lava hell, the Fire Demon King's enormous body was almost completely naked, with only a tattered, brownish-red loincloth wrapped around his waist, looking extremely shabby.
The Fire Demon King in the game version and the TV series version have vastly different appearances.
In the TV series, the Fire Demon King is a stunningly beautiful and alluring woman.
In the game version, the Fire Ghost King is an extremely ugly male ghost who is very lazy, particularly unclean (he hasn't bathed for nineteen years), frivolous, and will intentionally or unintentionally say things without thinking, flirting with women. He is a typical burly man who picks his toes.
"I am the Fire Demon King. Do you need something from me?"
Upon hearing Li Yao's voice, the Fire Demon King's eyes blazed with fire, and he roared at Li Yao in a deep, booming voice.
Then, pointing to a tattered portrait hanging on the rock wall, he shouted, "As long as you swear to oppose Yama, the King of Hell, and spit a few times on his portrait, you'll be one of my men, and I'll protect you!"
He was nominally subordinate to Yama, the King of Hell, but in reality, he always opposed Yama.
"That ugly fellow has quite the nerve!"
Xiao Bai stepped out from behind Li Yao and stood beside him, speaking calmly.
"Huh? There's a girl here?"
The Fire Demon King suddenly opened his large, bell-like eyes and saw the beautiful Xiao Bai, and his eyes lit up.
Suddenly, his eyes blazed with fury, and he chuckled in a strange voice, "Oh my! Very beautiful! How about becoming my concubine?"
"Shut your stinking mouth!"
Xiao Bai snorted coldly.
"Stinky mouth? I rinsed my mouth!"
The Fire Ghost King stared at the stunningly beautiful Little White and said with a grin, "Little beauty, I've been rinsing my mouth all this time, but it's so hot here that I inevitably get a bit of a fever, and when I get a fever, my breath naturally gets bad!"
"Hmph, Fire Demon King, you really can't change your ways. You're still as lecherous as ever!"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor stepped forward and sneered contemptuously.
At this moment, two raging flames had ignited in his eyes.
When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with intense hatred!
He wished he could burn the Fire Demon King to ashes immediately.
"Oh, you are the Heavenly Demon Emperor?"
The Fire Ghost King sized up the Heavenly Ghost Emperor and said disdainfully, "Who do we have here? It's just my defeated opponent. What, you're still alive?"
"Fire Demon King, the hatred for the annihilation of my clan is irreconcilable. Today I will take your life and avenge my dead people!"
The Heavenly Ghost King's eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke with great excitement.
"You think you can get revenge? It's utterly laughable, hahaha..."
The Fire Demon King burst into laughter.
Immediately, his face darkened, and he jumped up.
In an instant, an endless sea of fire surged forth, flames soared, smoke billowed, and golden-red flames, taller than a person, rose up and swept towards the Heavenly Ghost Emperor.
The Heavenly Demon King also had a fiery temper, and seeing his enemy made him especially agitated.
Immediately, he formed his five fingers into claws, and a chilling wind swept through the air as he charged towards the Fire Ghost King.
To the Heavenly Ghost Emperor's surprise, the Fire Ghost King's cultivation had greatly increased, making him much more powerful than before.
Because he had been trapped in the Demon-Sealing Tower for many years, the Demon-Transforming Water inside the tower had diminished much of his cultivation.
Therefore, after a series of battles, he quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
"Heavenly Ghost Emperor, I never expected that in all these years, your cultivation has not only not improved, but has actually regressed a lot. You still think about avenging your clansmen. It's just wishful thinking."
The Fire Demon King sneered triumphantly.
"Hmph, Fire Demon King, don't be too smug!"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor snorted coldly.
Immediately, he shouted, "Young master, I... I can't hold on much longer, please help me!"
"Your revenge is yours to take!"
Li Yao said calmly.
However, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by.
With a flick of his right hand, a dazzling light shot towards the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy flowed into the Heavenly Ghost Emperor's body.
In an instant, the Heavenly Ghost King seemed to be divinely aided, his aura exploded, and the Yin energy on his ghost claws surged.
Soon, the tide of battle turned.
The Heavenly Demon King's Ghost Claws were incredibly fierce, relentlessly attacking the Fire Demon King one claw after another.
The Fire Ghost King's expression changed drastically. He felt as if the Heavenly Ghost Emperor's strength had suddenly increased tenfold, leaving him breathless.
"Hmph! I didn't expect you to have found such a capable helper!"
"But that won't help!"
"I haven't even used my true abilities yet!"
The Fire Demon King chuckled sinisterly.
As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, and a bright red porcelain pot appeared in his hand.
The porcelain teapot has a simple shape and is decorated with simple and unadorned patterns.
"Fire Crow Pot!"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehehe... I didn't expect you to recognize this treasure of mine!"
"Then let me show you how powerful this treasure is!"
The Fire Demon King let out a smug, eerie laugh.
Before he finished speaking, he lifted the lid of the Fire Crow Pot.
Instantly, tens of thousands of fire-breathing crows took flight, smoke rising from their wings and flames shooting into the sky, terrifying the Heavenly Demon King into retreating in defeat.
"Young master, young master... please save me!"
The Heavenly Demon King was trapped by a flock of fire crows and could not escape.
The raging sea of fire was about to engulf the Heavenly Demon Emperor.
