Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2262 - 2218: Demon

After everyone received their opportunities, the distant sealed stone door suddenly opened with a rumble.

Revealing a path leading upward.

"You’ve already obtained the opportunity from the first level. Those who wish to continue the challenge can proceed to the second level."

Fire Sun True Monarch said.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of many people, who were previously joyful, suddenly became hesitant.

Because the feeling of being on the brink of death earlier seemed to still linger in their minds.

Now, heading to the second level, they naturally felt a bit afraid.

Opportunities are certainly important, but they need to be used to be significant.

If one’s life is lost, what use are the numerous opportunities?

Many hesitated.

Only the man in black and Chen Yang, without any hesitation, ventured forward to the second level.

Following suit, City Lord Jin, Sect Master Lin, and several other strong individuals went up one after another.

The number of people on the first floor sharply reduced by half.

"Since we’re going up, let’s go up. I’d like to see just how formidable the second level really is."

After much inner conflict, everyone eventually went up.

Mainly because the opportunities were too alluring.

Although most of them only acquired green gourds, with moderately better ones being white gourds.

Even so, the opportunities they gained were not insignificant.

So they wanted to take the risk and continue to try.

Additionally, if one passes and gets lucky, they might even obtain a golden gourd.

These are all possibilities, quite possible indeed.

Holding onto a lucky mindset, they forcefully followed Chen Yang, heading to the second floor together.

Arriving at the second floor, the situation here was no different from before.

The same spacious area, the same stone walls, enclosed space.

Except, the stone wall ahead had a stone door.

Only by passing through will it open again.

And above is the third level.

"Very well, you’ve all chosen to come to the third level."

"The trial of this second level isn’t as passive and simple as the first."

Fire Sun True Monarch’s phantom appeared once again, smiling as he addressed everyone.

Gulp.

Upon hearing his words, it was clear that someone was fearful on the scene.

The sound of swallowing saliva was heard.

But it was also normal.

For many, the first level was already terrifying.

With Fire Sun True Monarch’s phantom stating that the second level is even more horrifying than the first, they were naturally scared.

"The second level will test your true abilities. Let me see your strength." Fire Sun True Monarch laughed and then vanished.

Immediately, like the first level, the enclosed space suddenly ignited into raging flames.

The flames here burned much more fiercely than those in the first level.

Already licking at their feet, the massive blaze even obscured their vision, making them unable to clearly see the surrounding situation, blurring it altogether.

Such large flames startled everyone present.

They wondered if it would be the same as the first level, still roasting them.

If it really was, such a large flame would be at least twice that of the first level...

That would be troublesome.

But strangely, despite the flames burning intensely above, the actual heat was less than a third of the first level.

Having adapted to the temperature below, the heat here seemed almost trivial.

Everyone faced it easily.

"Is this the trial of the second level?"

Someone questioned aloud, clearly experienced and disbelieving the second level’s trial would be so simple.

And just as he finished speaking, a monstrous sound emanated from the blazing flames suddenly.

"What is that!"

Someone, hearing the commotion, quickly looked over, only to see a demon formed by the flames, brandishing fangs and claws at them.

"Demon beasts? They don’t seem like it."

Everyone looked over, momentarily unsure of what those entities in the flames were.

Before they could figure it out, the demons within the flames began to multiply.

First one or two appeared, then it developed into flames filled with such demons.

Once their numbers increased, those demons began their assault.

Spewing flames, attempting to engulf them.

"Not good, they’re attacking! These creatures are demon beasts!"

Someone, caught off guard, was bitten on the arm by a flame demon.

The pain made him shriek.

Fortunately, someone nearby reacted swiftly, killing the demon with a strike.

Yet even after it was killed swiftly, his arm was charred black, his veins severed.

The pain made him utter gut-wrenching cries.

Witnessing this scene, no one dared to underestimate the demons before them.

They all started realizing these flame demons were the trial of the second level.

They must survive amidst the attacks of such numerous demons...

"Everyone, let’s join forces. At this point, don’t hold back, or none of us will get through."

City Lord Jin shouted, unleashing all his power.

Pouring his full effort into slaying those flame demons.

Chen Yang and the others remained silent.

For they all knew the truth in what he spoke.

No matter how many survive, the share of opportunities remains unchanged; fewer people won’t change the allocation of twelve shares.

Therefore, in face of this situation, they must unite and eliminate these demons together.

This was acknowledged by everyone present.

They consciously formed a circle, beginning to slay the demons within the surrounding flames.

At first it was manageable, the demons weren’t strong, making it fairly easy to handle.

Nearly everyone could slay them.

But as time passed, things seemed off.

The flame demons lessened in number but grew increasingly powerful.

Even Mid-stage Condensation demons appeared.

For Chen Yang and others, this posed just a slight pressure; after all, the demons were growing stronger, with an unknown number of such demons remaining.

A catastrophic threat indeed.

But for those like Old Li whose strength wasn’t strong, this was simply devastating.

They were only at the Early-stage Condensation level; how could they possibly handle such formidable foes?

Initially, when Mid-stage Condensation demons appeared, weaker ones could still dodge the overly strong demons by shifting positions.

But soon the situation changed again.

A circle formed around, consisted entirely of Mid-stage Condensation demons.

Old Li and others had no escape.

Forced to face them head-on.

"Ah! Save me! Save me!"

"It hurts so much!"

After battling for a short while, someone couldn’t withstand the flame demons, got injured by a powerful demon, and was dragged into the flames and devoured.

Everyone was busy dealing with their own demons; no one had time to help him.

All they could do was watch as he was dragged into the flames, swallowed, turning to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

After his death, the group instinctively closed the ranks once more, narrowing the circle’s range, filling up the gap left by the deceased.

Then continued to slay demons.

The demons grew increasingly powerful, the offensive more and more intense.

And with this came more and more deaths.

Initially, there were twelve who entered here.

But in a blink, three had already died at the hands of those demons.

And died so tragically, leaving nothing behind.
