125: Eighteen Levels of Hell

Through the gate of the Bone Temple, Chen Fei saw two people standing motionless.

Unsurprisingly, they were Ximen Lingyun and Ji Chenfeng.

They were unharmed; it was more like their consciousness had entered some kind of trial.

After considering it, Chen Fei didn't enter immediately. Instead, he waited outside, planning to enter after they finished.

Currently, he didn't want to face these two.

Ten minutes passed!

The two woke up one after another, each having gained something, and then left the Bone Temple directly. Only then did Chen Fei quietly enter.

Here, a stone tablet also stood, and behind the tablet was a sacrificial spiritual tablet.

The layout was incredibly similar to the Bone Temple in the Nine Nether Fierce Land.

Chen Fei moved closer to the stone tablet and found that there were still some rankings on it.

But there weren't many, only eight names.

Perhaps the people who could find this place were few and far between.

First Place: Tuoba Zhiyuan, age 20.

Potential Rating: transcendence (Entered the 18th Level of Hell.)

...Fourth Place: Ximen Lingyun, age 20.

Potential Rating: SSS+ (Entered the 16th Level of Hell.)

Fifth Place: Ji Chenfeng, age 20.

Potential Rating: SSS- (Entered the 14th Level of Hell.)

...Seventh Place: Shen Lin, age 19.

Potential Rating: SS+ (Entered the 12th Level of Hell.)

Eighth Place: Tang Jian, age 19.

Potential Rating: SS (Entered the 11th Level of Hell.)

...Teacher Tuoba is actually on here too, and with a transcendence rating?

After a moment, Chen Fei suppressed the surprise in his heart.

It made sense!

Tuoba Zhiyuan was the second human in Wu Yun's eyes to possess purple qi; how could he be simple?

Having the ability of 'transcendence' was completely understandable.

It seemed this teacher of his was even more powerful than imagined!

Currently, there were three 'transcendence' ratings in total; he held two, and Tuoba Zhiyuan held one.

Not bad, not bad. Anyway, they were all on the same side.

What surprised Chen Fei even more were Tang Jian and Shen Lin.

They had only reached the tomb chamber door but hadn't taken a single step inside.

Could it be they lied?

But there was absolutely no need for that!

Besides, even if they had entered, the ghosts in that tomb corridor weren't things they could mess with.

Even the Nine-Winged Centipede in the first tomb chamber would have been enough to kill them several times over.

It wasn't realistic for the two of them to walk all the way here; they must have entered through some other means.

"Whatever, I'll ask what the situation was when I get out!"

Chen Fei still used the name 'Mountain Ghost' to enter the trial space.

Just like in the Spirit Plant Garden, his status would be refreshed with every level he entered.

As soon as he entered, Chen Fei felt this space was extremely oppressive.

It was boundless, with only a mysterious black sky, no temperature, and no stars visible.

The entire ground looked like a red-hot block of iron, a mix of red and mottled black.

Above the earth, a greenish-blue ghostly qi rose.

The ghostly qi clashed with the color of the earth, creating a visual effect that was quite eerie.

Chen Fei was also surprised; did a place like Hell actually exist?

It was so similar to the version of Hell passed down through word of mouth.

Level 1: Tongue-Pulling Hell.

The topmost level of Hell featured several Tier 3 Rank 8 Tongue-Pulling Ghosts; they posed no challenge at all.

Level 2: Scissor Hell.

Ten Tier 3 Rank 8 Scissor Ghosts were still instantly killed by Wu Yun... Level 13: Blood Pond Hell.

In addition to some Tier 4 Rank 1 ghostly creatures, there was also a pool of blood.

Within the pool was a Tier 4 Rank 2 Hell-Blood Demon Ghost.

This ghost mastered blood attributes and could use blood sacrifices to summon even more powerful beings.

It could also use a Blood Explosion technique; wherever the blood droplets landed, they would explode.

When Wu Yun finally defeated it after some effort, they discovered the Hell-Blood Demon Ghost used that blood pool to come back to life.

Fighting like this would simply be endless.

In a fit of rage, Wu Yun directly channeled four or five thick bolts of World-Cleansing White Thunder, blowing up the entire blood pool.

These eighteen levels of Hell were much harder than imagined.

Without counter-attributes, one basically wouldn't get far... Level 17: Stone Mill Hell.

As soon as Chen Fei entered, he found himself inside a giant stone mill.

This stone mill was irresistible!

Every time it swept across, it carried the impact force of a Tier 5 Demon King, which was far beyond what the Three Beasts could block; they could only dodge.

While dodging, they also had to face several ghostly creatures.

One was an SSS-rank Puppet Witch Ghost, which could control nine SS-rank, Tier 4 Rank 4 ghosts to fight.

Another was an SSS-rank Three-Eyed Flame Ghost, mastering Yellow Springs Ghost Fire.

This fire ranked high on the Exotic Fire List, possessing both the fluidity of water and the power of an exotic fire.

When living beings entered the Yellow Springs, it was as if they had been thrown into a deep fryer.

The last one was an SSS-rank Dark-Sky Umbrella Feather Ghost, Tier 4 Rank 4.

It took the form of a paper umbrella, with a bell at every rib of the umbrella.

There were many eyeballs on top of the umbrella, and a woman held it from below.

This woman had long hair reaching her waist, but her face was invisible. She wore ancient clothing and looked quite strange.

This ghost would dance gracefully to the sound of the bells, her posture so elegant that she didn't look like a ghost at all.

But Chen Fei knew that he must not let her finish this dance.

Otherwise, what followed would be a devastating blow.

Once the dance was finished, one's mind would be lost, and the Soul would abandon the Physical Body.

This ability was just like Chi Yu's Soul Stripping—very powerful, sucking the Soul directly into the umbrella.

Even Chi Yu's Soul protection wouldn't be of much use.

"Wu Yun, buff Chi Yu."

"Chi Yu, Tiger Subduing Soul Suppressing Domain, full deployment."

Since the opponent wanted to play the Soul card, Chen Fei had thought of the same thing.

He also wanted to see just how strong Chi Yu was within her Domain.

These three ghosts were enough to warrant Chi Yu's move.

As the pale Domain expanded, it covered everything within a diameter of one thousand meters.

Of course, Chi Yu could freely choose which targets to affect and which to make immune.

Otherwise, if she couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, it would be a disaster.

With Wu Yun's buff, the killing power within the Domain reached Tier 4 Rank 6.

If Tuoba Zhiyuan were here, he would have to gasp in shock.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Three Soul mountains descended, directed not at those Puppets, but straight for the main bodies.

Atop the Soul mountains, a Subduing Tiger was letting out a roar.

This sound was mixed with an extremely strong sonic binding force, freezing the three ghosts in place as they waited in despair for the mountains to crush them.

"Boom!"

As the Soul mountains fell!

Only that paper umbrella remained at the scene; the physical bodies of the three ghosts vanished along with their Souls.

The scattered Soul fragments were all sucked into the belly of the Subduing Tiger.

However, since this was an illusion, the Soul fragments that could be absorbed were very few.

An instant kill!

This was Chi Yu's current power, making Little Gu look on with immense envy.

"Chen Fei, Chi Yu and Wu Yun are both so strong now, what about me? What about me?

I was the first one to be contracted..."
