Instead, she reached out and removed the bag from his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had noticed during their earlier encounter that it was from this thing that he had taken both the mysterious lamp and the Teleportation Jade out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she peeked into the bag, Liora discovered something strange. Its interior size was far beyond what one would expect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora immediately recognized that this item was not so much of a bag. Rather, it was a space treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such items were usually created by powerful creatures who had come into contact with the power of space and were able to carve a small space out of it, or were objects born through a series of fortunate coincidences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora was not unfamiliar with such treasures. She even possessed one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Space Orb, which housed most of her belongings and had made her life many times more convenient since she obtained it, was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mere Lesser Devil possesses a space treasure, as well as a Teleportation Jade. Tsk, tsk. Some people are really lucky.\", Liora shook her head and chuckled under the terrified eyes of the Gale Devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she subconsciously ignored the fact that she was also quite similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when she was just a Lesser Devil, her property surpassed that of many True Devils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head, Liora pushed those thoughts aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding onto the bag, she took another peek inside and began searching for the Inferno Item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, her eyes shone with a surprising brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because she found the Inferno Item, but because she was almost blinded by the Gale Devil’s belongings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several items of similar value to the Teleportation Jade could be seen within the space treasure, while precious weapons and miniature arrays could be seen almost everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the seemingly most useless items, the books, piqued Liora’s interest, as her intuition told her that they held great secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she didn’t lose her composure when facing these treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that she could always go through them later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, her most important goal was to find the Inferno Item and leave this cursed valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Liora’s gaze continued to wander through the scattered items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t find anything at first, even making her wonder if she had been mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before long, her gaze landed on a single piece of metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was orange in color and smelled like sulfur, allowing Liora to recognize it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hellstone—a type of metal native to the Demon World, which could hardly be found in other worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora had met this metal several times throughout her life, most of which were when she was still in the Crucible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, it could be understood that Hellstone was neither precious nor very rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it was a common material that could be found almost everywhere in the Demon World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was divided into different tiers based on its roughness and extraordinariness, even the strongest Hellstone would hardly interest a True Devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the moment Liora’s eyes landed on it, she noticed a difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny gray rune was engraved on one side of the Hellstone’s surface. At the same time, the metal emanated a bizarre aura, making it stand out among the other, more valuable, items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Liora took it out of the bag and held it in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to expand her consciousness and confirm whether this thing was the Inferno Item she had been searching for when she sensed a subtle change in her surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>",1234,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","fcb3a667ee9a320010a8d80b36c785c785a8ec306437f206b666b62a53b32a1a","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-241","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-239",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
