Flame Demon Valley was one of the most notorious death traps on the God-Demon Battlefield.
It looked like a wound hewn by a Heavenly God's giant axe, stretching three thousand li across the southwestern corner of the Succubus Domain.
The valley floor burned year-round with unquenchable earthfire. Those flames were no ordinary fire, but Jiuyou Demonic Flame laced with Demonic Energy and baleful earth energy. Even a Godly Strongman would lose a layer of skin from the slightest touch.
Worse, the valley was filled with natural Fire Poison Miasma.
Dark red in color, the miasma corroded Divine Power and ate away at the Divine Soul. Breathe it in for too long, and you could even hallucinate your worst fears.
Under normal circumstances, even the Demon Race avoided the place, let alone the Human Race.
The only exceptions were Flame Demons, thick-skinned brutes without much sense.
But today, Flame Demon Valley was unusually lively.
"Quick! Head for the valley floor!"
An urgent woman's voice rang out at the valley entrance, thick with exhaustion and panic.
No one would have recognized the Estelle of this moment as the elegant, proud Succubus God's Daughter who had once stood at Illusion Star Lake.
Several locks of her signature pale-pink hair had been scorched. Blood and dust smeared her face, and her exquisite succubus leather armor was torn in several places, exposing skin burned by demonic flame.
Worst of all was her left shoulder. A wound deep enough to expose bone still hissed with black smoke—the mark of a cursed weapon.
Only two Demon King guards remained at her side.
One was the hulking Giant Strength Demon King, Tobias.
He stood a full zhang tall, his body knotted with muscle, but three poisoned arrows jutted from his chest, and he coughed blood with every step.
