The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 741 - 306: Metal Slime_2

"The exit behind..."

Ye Hanjun recalled when he had just entered, swimming in the cesspool, all he had to do was look up to see the gigantic shit beast’s ass.

Which layer of the eighteen layers of hell was this, filled with nothing but disgusting monsters? It was simply too much.

"This is fine."

Aegifura glanced at Ye Hanjun, unconcerned:

"No matter where we exit, I can just hide in the Contract Space, and the filthy things won’t be able to touch my body."

Hearing this, Ye Hanjun massaged his temples, saying with a headache:

"Anyway... let’s continue browsing."

"Maintain our state, don’t rush things."

"Even if we leave this place, we will immediately be plunged into round after round of battle; perhaps we’ll even end up missing the peace and safety here."

"GuaGua speaks the truth!"

GuaGua transformed into the appearance of Ye Hanjun and danced around excitedly:

"Our goal is to improve our strength, and then loot the treasures of the tomb!"

"Anyway, we have to stay here at least for thirty years, so be patient, and we will have everything!"

"What? Thirty years?!"

Aegifura, hearing about the time limit for the first time, turned slightly pale, then a shade of blue.

Before she could issue her "lion’s roar," GuaGua turned into a book, flipping through pages rapidly, and then brought a section from the middle of the book with a line drawn under it in front of her Magatama eyes.

"Look, Ji Fula, look."

"The bard said that a female demon’s beauty comes from the peace and wisdom within, like the stars in the night sky that can shine brilliantly without boasting."

"And this line here, the most beautiful appearance of a female demon, is not ostentatious or coquettishly flirtatious, but elegant, intelligent, gentle, virtuous... Always able to blossom with a smile, that is the enduring charm..."

The book that GuaGua had become sent these messages telepathically.

Aegifura, forced to receive this education, twitched at the corner of her eye and clenched her fists until they crackled.

She took several deep breaths, trying hard to contain her rage, and then asked word by word:

"You little imp... where did you learn these crooked and wicked ways?"

"Did you find a specific book... just to memorize its appearance to lecture me?"

Aegifura, unable to bear it any longer, suddenly transformed into a gust of wind and grabbed towards the book.

"Violent again, not elegant at all."

GuaGua, feeling guilty, instantly changed back to its original form.

It certainly didn’t want Aegifura to see the cover of the book engraved with the words "How to Conquer the Handsome Demon King."

"Alright, alright."

Huazhu stepped in to smooth things over, imitating Ye Hanjun’s appearance, grabbed the little guy by the flesh on the back of its neck, and lifted it up.

"You little imp, if you keep being naughty, you’ll be abandoned by the Heavenly Dao!" Aegifura stopped and cursed in words.

"Lalalala, what’s good or bad anyway, the world is vast, and being happy is what matters most!"

GuaGua stuck out its tongue, made faces, completely carefree and heartless.

...

The bickering was ultimately just a minor interlude on their journey.

As days passed by, who would have thought that they had yet to even scratch the surface of the vast sights within Asura’s Tomb, and that they had already spent over thirty days trapped inside the belly of a labyrinth demon.

In a situation where there was no other option, Huazhu suggested "domination."

Aegifura, who was silently sulking by herself, unusually refrained from actively protesting or rejecting the idea.

"One who holds one of the Seven Sins Law, the Demon Queen·Raffles’ twisted lineage, a monstrous Demon Seed bred by the ancient Taimo..."

After completing the prayer, Ye Hanjun fused his human self with the blood of the Demon Enchantress Queen.

As his state of domination strengthened, all his senses were amplified.

He temporarily retracted Huazhu into the Contract Space and then ventured with GuaGua through the endless maze of corridors.

"Swoosh!!"

After a week of wandering, in an inadvertent moment, an unusual spatial fluctuation was captured.

Ye Hanjun suddenly flipped his palm, and a cup of glittering wine poured out onto the crevices of the rocks.

"Awooo..."

The stable corridor suddenly began twisting.

A huge current of air sprayed from a distant place, and Ye Hanjun raised his arm to block, striving to fend it off.

After spinning a full one hundred and three times, when he opened his eyes again, an indistinguishable shadow creature was moving slowly like a reptile.

"It’s out!"

Ye Hanjun executed "Layers of Enchantment," creating dozens of clones; his real body hid among the trembling shadows and quickly distanced from the labyrinth demon.

"Quack quack!!"

GuaGua, elated from freeing itself, began looking forward to a new adventure.

However, before they could enjoy their release for long, a foul smell penetrated their nostrils.

Five hundred meters ahead, on a steep rock face, there was a slime-like creature climbing while dripping nauseating mucus.

Suddenly, it seemed to spot Ye Hanjun, paused for an instant, then charged at him like mad.

"Decomposing slug... Immeasurable Void Pull..."

"Why is it that all I encounter are from the Unlimited Foetus, and I haven’t even seen one from the Heaven and Earth Stage..."

Ye Hanjun, who awaited with solemnity, was unusually calm this time.

He summoned Huazhu and used the Wind Element to entwine himself and gain greater speed.

The decomposing slug, which enjoyed slowly digesting living creatures into corpses, was left far behind within minutes.

"My lord, we’re only in the middle floors of hell, and there are already so many Unlimited Foetus active."

"It’s hard to imagine how to survive as we go deeper..."

Huazhu furrowed its brows, carefully examining the surroundings, eager to discuss strategies with Ye Hanjun.

Ye Hanjun too, felt a sense of poignancy:
