Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

When Lin Fan opened his eyes again, he and the others had already entered the instance.

You have entered the instance - Demon King's Castle.

Before them lay a desolate demonic land, the sky obscured by thick demonic clouds, with dark red lightning intertwining and dancing within them.

A majestic black castle stands in the distance, and on the road leading to the castle...

A massive figure raised its head, bared its fangs, and swept its gaze over the four people, sneering, "Finally here."

"Frost Troll..." Chu Yunfeng clenched his fists, his voice filled with barely suppressed rage: "Where is my sister?"

"Don't worry, that little girl is doing just fine in the Demon King's City. As long as you win, I will naturally return her to you. Of course..." The Frost Troll let out a low, cold laugh from between its fangs, "provided that you can leave here alive."

As soon as the words were spoken, the black vortex behind the group spun and contracted, then silently dissipated.

[Instance locked]

Chu Yunfeng glanced at the vanished dungeon entrance.

The instance is locked, meaning that no one can leave unless they complete the entire instance.

There is no way out.

"Don't worry, we're here for you. Your sister will be fine."

Lin Fan patted Chu Yunfeng on the shoulder and said with certainty.

Xu Liyue and Kong Bowen also cast determined glances their way.

"That's really touching."

The frost troll let out a loud laugh, its icy blue eyes filled with mockery: "Too bad, today this is your burial ground."

He raised his thick arms and clapped his hands lightly.

The next second, countless blue lights suddenly shone beneath his feet.

Skeletons engulfed in eerie blue flames appeared in the light, their empty eye sockets pulsating with cold flames, wielding bone blades, their ranks imposing.

[Ice Flame Skeleton]

[Rank: Elite Level 8]

Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, eight hundred thousand...

A dense, eerie blue flame spread out, stretching from the frost troll all the way to the Demon King's city deep in the Demon Abyss, converging into a boundless sea of ​​undead fire.

The sheer number of them is enough to make one's scalp crawl.

"Kill them." The frost troll grinned cruelly.

Although the human named Chu Yunfeng possessed skills that could cause massive damage over a wide area, he was ultimately just a kid who was not even at the third rank.

The undead army is incredibly resilient; unless he possesses fourth-tier strength, it's impossible for him to kill these ice and fire skeletons, which are so close to being dangerous, in one strike.

As long as Chu Yunfeng's skills don't work, even if the million-strong undead army just wears them down, they can still kill several of them!

From the moment they stepped into the instance, these human prodigies were destined to become nothing more than corpses.

Chu Yunfeng frowned slightly.

These ice-fire skeletons are not only numerous, but each one possesses elite-level combat power, making them completely different from the fire skeletons summoned by the Eternal Hellfire Demon.

But what about that?

Chu Yunfeng's lips curled up slightly as he took out a Qi Condensation Pill from his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

The medicinal power of the Condensing Essence Pill spread throughout Chu Yunfeng's body, and soon, Chu Yunfeng's aura began to rise.

Second-order eightfold.

Second tier, nine levels.

Third order.

The Frost Troll was slightly taken aback, but quickly revealed a mocking smile:

"Haha, so this is where your confidence comes from?"

"A single pill, and a mere two or three minor realm advancements—do you really think such a small change can affect the course of the battle?"

"Of course it won't affect anything." Chu Yunfeng smiled slightly and took out a whole bottle of Condensing Essence Pills from his pocket.

One Qi Condensation Pill won't have much of an impact, but what about dozens or hundreds?

"What do you mean?" The Frost Troll looked confused.

Just as he was wondering, he saw the human suddenly make a strange movement.

Chu Yunfeng uncorked the bottle and poured the entire bottle of Qi Condensation Pills into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, he swallowed it whole.

The Frost Troll was taken aback.

What is this person doing?

Crazy?

……

Demon City.

The Night Demon King sat on his throne, his eyes, formed from crimson demonic flames, fixed on Chu Lingxi, who was bound to the side. The more he looked at her, the more irritated he became.

This little girl is really quite strange.

The Night Demon King feeds on fear.

The reason he didn't kill Chu Lingxi immediately was that he wanted to let this little girl slowly break down in despair and fear, using this pure fear to nourish his own power.

But this girl has never shown the slightest fear since she was captured.

She was just a little girl of about ten years old, tied up in the gloomy and terrifying Demon King's castle, yet she acted as if nothing was wrong, staring at him with her big, dark eyes, without the slightest fear.

"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!" Seeing the Eternal Night Demon King staring at her, Chu Lingxi shouted angrily, "My brother will definitely beat you and rescue me!"

"Stubborn little brat." The Night Demon King let out a sinister laugh upon hearing this. "I'd like to see if you can still keep up your stubbornness when you see your brother's corpse later."

The Eternal Night Demon King was filled with anticipation.

At that time, that fear will surely be quite delicious!

"Pah!" Just then, Chu Lingxi suddenly spat on the Eternal Night Demon King's black robe.

"My brother will definitely win!" She tilted her head back, her clear eyes unwavering, and said in a resolute voice.

"You little rascal!"

Beneath the black robe, the Night Demon King's eerie green flames danced wildly.

He raised a hand formed from black mist, about to teach this arrogant girl a lesson, but his movement suddenly stopped in mid-air.

An extremely ominous premonition arose from the bottom of my heart without warning.

The Eternal Night Demon King turned his head and subconsciously looked towards the direction outside the Demon King's Castle.

……

Outside the Demon King's castle.

After consuming a whole bottle of Qi Condensation Pills, Chu Yunfeng's aura had soared to the sixth level of the third rank.

Although the effect of subsequent Qi Condensation Pills will be greatly reduced after taking one Qi Condensation Pill.

But he doesn't care.

If efficiency is lacking, make up for it with quantity.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfeng took out a second bottle from his pocket without changing his expression, uncorked it, and poured all twenty full-bodied Qi Condensation Pills into his mouth.

The powerful medicinal force surged wildly through his meridians, and the fragile meridian walls, unable to withstand this violent force, began to crumble inch by inch.

Fresh blood seeped from Chu Yunfeng's eyes, nose, and mouth, dripping down his chin onto the scorched earth, forming several dark red blood flowers.

The frost troll was stunned for a moment, then threw his head back and let out a deafening burst of maniacal laughter, full of undisguised sarcasm and mockery.

"Overestimating yourself! How could a human's frail body possibly withstand the potency of so many pills?"

"You'll explode and die soon!"

"Is that so? Then let's wait and see." Chu Yunfeng raised his blood-stained face and smiled slightly at the Frost Troll.

After saying that, he reached into his robes, took out the third bottle of Qi Condensation Pills, and poured them into his mouth without hesitation.

Then came the fourth bottle, and then the fifth bottle.

The frost troll's maniacal laughter gradually froze, turning into disbelief.

How could that be?

With such severe backlash, a normal person should have died long ago.

But why hasn't this human boy fallen yet?

Not only that, his aura was also rising steadily.

Just as the Frost Troll was stunned, Chu Yunfeng consumed the sixth bottle of Condensing Essence Pill.

His aura surged once again, and he had already crossed the fourth rank, reaching the first level of the fourth rank!

"That's about it." Chu Yunfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave the Frost Troll a calm smile.

But to the Frost Troll, this smile was even more chilling than the ferocious demons deep within the Abyss.

Just then, Chu Yunfeng slowly spoke:

"Forbidden Spell - Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder!"

"Forbidden Spell - Eternal Ice Coffin!"

"Forbidden Spell - Buddha's Wrathful Lotus!"

"Forbidden Spell - True Thousand Hands!"

"Forbidden Spell - Planetary Devastation!"
