I would suggest purifying about 20% of the corruption, getting the Night's Edge, full Molten Armour & A Phoenix Blaster with at least 1000 bullets if you want to survive in hardmode after enabling it, this should give you enough protection to break 3 demon altars, make your way to caves/your hellevator & get some Cobalt for armour & a drill.

I would also suggest trying to keep out of the Hallow/Underground Hallow, although Pixie's are weak, they can hit you with the Snail debuff, which will slow you down and make it difficult to evade things like Gastropods/Unicorns.

The Underground Hallow is just the place of death, I have 65+ defence and I still die there, it's not fun.
