631: Sneaking Into Hell

Sneaking Into Hell

Zhong Yue has cultivated the Innate True Soul, his soul was much stronger than before and it was even beyond his Innate Golden Crow True Spirit and Innate Star Toad True Spirit. His achievement in the soul was simply unprecedented and unheard of.1

It was also his biggest unknown secrets, and also what made him special from the others.

Even if there was a formidable opponent who has the same blood, same art, same cultivation level, same number of extreme states, and same skills, Zhong Yue could still easily defeat him; all because of his Innate True Soul!

Back then, Reverse Emperor's Blood Banner could've siphoned Zhong Yue's blood essence and shudder his Yuan Shen. But now, Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen would not even flutter by the slightest even if Reverse Emperor could cast the Blood Banner on him again!

"Brat Yue, you need to get your hands on this soul-targeting skill!" Xin Huo suddenly said, "During the Fire Order Era and Earth Order Era, although there are also skills targeted on the souls, they aren't prevalent enough to form into a cultivation system of its own. However, this Hell's cultivation system is mature enough and has incorporated some of the attainments from the Six Paths Reincarnations. Learn, attain and study it, and you might be able to glean more of the evil existence's secrets!"

"Brothers, this [Six Soul Banner], can you teach me?" It was hard to attain the insights of the Six Paths Reincarnations, and seeing that the [Six Soul Banner] might just come in handy, Zhong Yue brazened himself and asked, "In Hell, I might need to use some of these skills to protect myself."

Bi hesitated, "It was a great judge that imparted it to us, we were told not to teach it to anyone else."

Whereas, An frowned, "Although the great judge did say so, but desperate situation calls for desperate measures; it's very dangerous to enter Hell without any skills like this. It's fine for us to break the promise, as long as the man is freed. Fortunate for us, the great judge who imparted the skill to us is not in this Six Paths World, it's fairly impossible to meet with him anymore in this life."

The brothers discussed and came to a decision, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, we both sworn that we would never teach it to anyone else. But, there is a loophole in our promise that can be used—if each of us teaches you half of the skill, we won't be considered as breaking our promises."

Then, the two of them each taught half of the skill to Zhong Yue. Immediately as he learned, he could already tell the level of abstrusities within the totem patterns.

The totem patterns of the [Six Soul Banner] were classified into six classes with each class containing 108 types. These 648 types of totem patterns formed the [Six Soul Banner] and they were specifically targeted on the souls. As long as one's soul was still within the Six Paths Reincarnations, they would be greatly affected by the skill.

Zhong Yue spent the next three days studying it. Three days later, Qiu Jin'er arrived back with a brimming aura, but unfortunately, she has still yet to awaken her Innate True Spirit.

Bi and An glanced at her and they said, "You are just a hair's breadth away, nothing can be done now. If you can attain what's needed to advance, you will awaken your Wood Innate Spirit in no time; but if you can't, then that's it."

Qiu Jin'er was placid as she didn't really care. She only started cultivation because of her immobilized legs which after they were fully recovered, her only motivation to cultivate was to catch up to Zhong Yue's speed and stay by his side. Among all of them, she was the one that gave the least attention to her actual strength and power.

Bi and An handed two spirit tablets and two cloaks, one black like ink and the other white like snow. Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er placed the tablets on their waist while putting on the cloaks.

The cloaks were were huge and the hoods covered their faces, they look as though they were hovering above ground when look from far.

These cloaks were actually divine weapons, engraved with totem patterns Zhong Yue has never seen before.

Bi and An then took out two masks, just as Zhong Yue was about to wear it on, Bi quickly stopped him and said, "Hold on! Wearing on the masks will bring you directly to Hell, take it off and you will return back here."

Zhong Yue was bewildered, "What?"

"They are treasures from Hell, you will know once you wear it on." An prompted, "Hell shares the same world we are in now, but a different dimension. Junior Martial Brother Bai, cast your Curse Spirit and curse them two, let them be shrouded with the air of death."

Bai Canghai scratched his head and asked, "How?"

"The worse the better."

Bai Canghai then cast our his spirit and cursed, "I hope you die in Hell and your soul disperse into thin air!"

Zhong Yue laughed loudly, he held on Qiu Jin'er's hand and the two wore on the masks.

Right when they wore the masks, the dimension around them turned gloomy and cold breeze swept across their body. Zhong Yue glanced around and found many ghost fire hovering across the place. Although the Bi An Precipice and structures were still here, the holy and saint air they once had was replaced with a malefic aura.

"Be careful…-ful…-ful…." Bi's and An's voice echoed in their ears as though they were very far away.

"Senior martial brother, I can't feel my mortal body!" Qiu Jin'er exclaimed in shock.

Zhong Yue too couldn't feel his body, but could still sense his Yuan Shen. It was truly peculiar.

Not only that, but the dimension in here seemed to be incredibly weak, Qiu Jin'er could even ripple the space around her with just the swing of a hand.

The two of them calmed themselves and looked up. There was a flowing bridge hovering high in the sky, souls flew out from the ghost fires and merge with the glowing bridge then flies toward a single direction.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er exchanged a look and flew up, while Zhong Yue looked down and found his and Qiu Jin'er's mortal body staying still on the ground.

This is… Zhong Yue was shocked, Our mortal body!

Their mortal body was still on the same spot, what flew up was just their Yuan Shen!

Qiu Jin'er noticed it as well, and she tightened her grip in Zhong Yue's hand.

The Yuan Shen could fly faster than the mortal body, they have already arrived at the glowing bridge in just a few moments. Such a speed was far beyond their imaginations.

The souls on the glowing bridge were countless, all of them moving toward the same direction while the bridge was flowing on its own at a great speed as well.

Looking down, there were many stars and planets glowing in green lights quietly flowing past the glowing bridge.

The whole Prison Realm was a huge galaxy itself, billions or even more living beings dies every second; after death, their souls would be sucked into the glowing bridge and silently moves along with it.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er flew forward for a distance far too long to be traced.

In stark contrast to the souls beneath them, their Yuan Shen were huge like giants.

For a distance unknown to them they have traveled, but the glowing bridge has still yet to reach to its end.

All of a sudden, a loud groan pounded into their ears, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er stopped and quickly looked over—a demon god's Yuan Shen was sucked toward the glowing bridge!

The demon god was strong and powerful, but in the face of the strange force of attraction, his power suddenly seemed so feeble to even resist it for a single second.

"I am not dead, I can still be saved!" the demon god's malefic face guffawed, "You want me to reborn into another weak fetus!? Keep on dreaming! I am a god, a demon god! How dare you sentence me to death even without asking!?"

Krong—

His body grew larger, he sucked and devoured millions of souls on the glowing bridge while he praised, "Delicious! How delicious! Fine then, I shall devour all of you here before I slaughter Hell and return home as the greatest demon god in history!"

The demon god continued devouring the souls and all of a sudden, a large metal chain dark like ink pierced through the demon god's Yuan Shen and snarled on his throat. The dark metal chain was pulled and the demon god's soul was extracted out from his Yuan Shen.

"How dare you disrupt Hell's peace and defy its order!"

Zhong Yue traced the metal chain to its other end and met with a celestial being with an ox's head. The ox-headed celestial being pulled the chain and dragged the demon god's soul to in front of his face.

The celestial being was huge like a star, he lifted the demon god's soul in his hand while the demon god knelt down and begged for his life.

"You've asked for it yourself, defy Hell and you shall be sentenced to—an eternal death!" The celestial being raised a scythe on his other hand and beheaded the demon god, killing him for good.

"After all, if you didn't offend the rules of Hell and devour the souls, how would I have the chance to kill you and devour your spirit? Hehe, too many souls in here, but only a little few are the gods. It's hard to find some quality food nowadays. What a luck!" Rays flashed across the ox-headed celestial being's eyes while he stared at the demon god's leftover spirit.

He clenched on the demon god's spirit and just as he was about to eat it, he saw Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er at the corner of his eyes. He was shocked and quickly placed the demon god's spirit down while he thought, Shit, I'm exposed! Whatever, I'll just kill these two Wu Chang experts and wipe all traces away to cover myself! Even if the judges investigate into this matter, they won't find anything useful at all!

Immediately, the ox-headed celestial being reached his hand out and slammed down on Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er!

Zhong Yue was shocked and he quickly cast out the [Six Soul Banner], the ox-headed celestial being groan in pain and his soul was sucked into the banner, leaving just his spirit behind.

"Please, I beg your pardon!" In the [Six Soul Banner], the ox-headed celestial being's face emerged and begged for mercy.

Wait… what? How am I that strong? Zhong Yue was completely bewildered as he thought, He is a god, a genuine god! How did I just caught him so easily?
