Chapter 3525: Entering the Asura h.e.l.l
The Asura h.e.l.l was one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms.
Duan Ling Tian had already heard about the Asura h.e.l.l before he ascended to a Devata Realm when he was told of Feng Qing Yang"s escape into the Asura h.e.l.l when faced with a life-or-death situation.
"Master, among the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms, the Asura h.e.l.l is ranked in the top 3, right? It"s said that the chances of survival there are slim to none unless one"s a G.o.d. Are the other two places as deadly?" Duan Ling Tian asked.
"Yes." Feng Qing Yang nodded. "One of them is as dangerous as the Asura h.e.l.l, and the other one is even more unpredictable than the Asura h.e.l.l. Many G.o.ds have perished in that place. Hence, it"s also known as the G.o.ds" Graves."
G.o.ds" Grave was the deadliest place among the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms. Duan Ling Tian had briefly heard about this place in the past and also knew that it was named as such because many G.o.ds had perished in that place.
"Master, did you encounter many near-death situations when you were there?" Duan Ling Tian asked.
Feng Qing Yang nodded. A hint of fear, which escaped Duan Ling Tian"s notice, flashed in the depths of his eyes as he said, "In fact, I managed to survive largely due to me stumbling upon a place. In the Asura h.e.l.l, everywhere is dangerous, save for a few places. I"m extremely lucky that I stumbled upon one of the few safe places in the Asura h.e.l.l…"
Duan Ling Tian could not imagine what Feng Qing Yang had gone through, but he knew that he would know soon enough. After a moment, he asked again, "Master, previously, you said your physical body is trapped in the Asura h.e.l.l. Can you leave now?"
Duan Ling Tian had heard from Elder Huo previously that Feng Qing Yang"s physical body was still trapped in the Asura h.e.l.l.
"My body is no longer trapped since my and Meng Luo"s last trip there…" Feng Qing Yang said, "However, I decided to leave my physical body in that place to try and break through to the King of G.o.ds stage since I gained an insight there…"
Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words "King of G.o.ds". Previously, he had learned about the cultivation bases in the Realms of G.o.ds from Huang"er, the sword spirit of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. In fact, he could have also learned about this from the Five Divine Elements; all he needed to do was ask.
The cultivation bases were simply divided into five main t.i.tles: G.o.d, King of G.o.ds, Lord of G.o.ds, Emperor of G.o.ds, and Supreme G.o.ds. Following that, they were further divided into three sub-categories. For example, G.o.ds were divided into elementary G.o.ds, intermediate G.o.ds, and advanced G.o.ds. Those who just attained G.o.dhoods were the weakest and were also cla.s.sified as elementary G.o.ds. After becoming an advanced G.o.d, one would become an elementary King of G.o.ds after breaking through, followed by an intermediate and an advanced King of G.o.ds.
Feng Qing Yang continued to say, "Although I"m taking you to that place that"s similar to the chamber of laws, I"m not sure how long you"ll be able to stay. Previously, when I brought Meng Luo there, he began to feel the pressure not long after he entered that palace. I had no choice but to send him away at that time. It"s as though… You need to be acknowledged by that place before you can stay…"
"I need that place"s acknowledgment?" Duan Ling Tian c.o.c.ked an eyebrow, stunned.
Feng Qing Yang nodded. "I suspect someone intentionally created that place in the Asura h.e.l.l. I managed to stay there because the law of destruction I mastered was acknowledged by that place. To be precise, it seemed like I was acknowledged by the person who created that palace. I"m sure that person isn"t simple. At the very least, even if he or she isn"t a supreme powerhouse, he or she must be a top powerhouse in the Realms of G.o.ds. I gained a lot from that place, forming and comprehending the Destructive Sword Dao. I"ll be bringing you to that safe place directly, but I honestly don"t know how long you"ll be able to stay. However, I"m very hopeful that you"ll be acknowledged by that place or person since you"ve already begun to comprehend the s.p.a.ce Sword Dao and the s.p.a.ce Mastery Dao…"
Duan Ling Tian was rather excited upon hearing these words.
Soon after, Feng Qing Yang came to a halt. Instead of letting Duan Ling Tian fly on his own, he brought Duan Ling Tian along with him using his speed of a G.o.d. It did not take long before they arrived at the easternmost part of the Primeval Heaven that was close to the realm barrier.
Feng Qing Yang explained, "The Formation that will transport us to the Asura h.e.l.l is somewhere in this place; it"s not in a fixed place. However, it"s very easy to find. All you need to do is extend your Divine Consciousness to find it…"
Duan Ling Tian hovered in the air and looked down at the barren land beneath his feet. There were no signs of life at all. Only the occasional raging sandstorm and tornadoes could be seen. After listening to Feng Qing Yang"s words, he did not hesitate and extended his Divine Consciousness, covering every inch of the land.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian swiftly got a grasp of the terrain after he extended his Divine Consciousness. Soon enough, he found a moving Formation in the eye of the sandstorm.
"Have you found it?" Feng Qing Yang asked with a smile. He had extended his Divine Consciousness as well and found another Formation apart from the one in the eye of the sandstorm.
"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded.
Following that, Feng Qing Yang wordlessly brought Duan Ling Tian with him as he flew into the sandstorm. The Formation in the eye of the sandstorm was the closest to them.
Before Duan Ling Tian was transported away, he asked, "Why does it seem like the Transportation Formations appeared out of thin air earlier?"
"It did not appear out of thin air. The entire place is shrouded by a giant Formation. The Transportation Formations are only a part of the huge Formation…" Feng Qing Yang explained.
As soon as the duo entered the Formation, Duan Ling Tian saw a flash of light before he found himself in a world that was constantly cast in a red light. He saw beasts fighting in his surroundings as well.
Roar!
Hiss!
Grr!
The sounds of roaring, hissing, and growling rang in the air. It was like the sound of death. They were shrill and terrifying.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The void rippled every time the beasts attacked.
With just a glance, Duan Ling Tian knew the beasts with red eyes were as strong as Celestial Emperors. Nevertheless, they were just beasts without intelligence.
"These beasts were born due to all the blood spilled in the Asura h.e.l.l. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Asura h.e.l.l should be on par with that of a Realm of G.o.ds. The difference is that it"s not as pure. Apart from that, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here contains blood and violence. To absorb it, one needs to refine and purify it first. If it were not for that, I would"ve become a King of G.o.ds a long time ago…
As the master and disciple continued on their journey, an unintelligent and huge creature leaped out and blocked their path. It looked like a tiger with wings. It swept its gaze across everyone before it pounced at Duan Ling Tian as though it had determined he was the weaker among the two.
Swoos.h.!.+
Feng Qing Yang was not worried and was in no rush to act. After all, he was confident his disciple would be able to deal with the beast.
As expected, Duan Ling Tian killed the beast with just a strike.
Shortly after leading Duan Ling Tian gates that were shrouded in dense blood mist that flashed with black lightning bold, Feng Qing Yang said, "We"re now entering the Asura h.e.l.l… The periphery of the Asura h.e.l.l is still relatively safe. Most Celestial Emperors on the brink of attaining G.o.dhood still have a chance of surviving as long as they didn"t stay for too long. However, if they make one wrong move, it would easily land them in a life-threatening situation. If that happened, even weak G.o.ds wouldn"t be able to escape unscathed." Upon seeing the grim expression on his disciple"s face, he added, "However, since I"m here to lead us to that place, we don"t have to worry about accidentally stepping into a trap…"
Once again, Feng Qing Yang brought Duan Ling Tian with him as he flew into the flas.h.i.+ng black lightning and the blood mist. With that, they had officially entered the Asura h.e.l.l.
Duan Ling Tian felt the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy change instantly. Indeed, it was almost similar to that of a Realm of G.o.ds; it was superior to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Devata Realms. Despite its impurities, he had a strong feeling the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here were the same as that in the Realms of G.o.ds.
As Feng Qing Yang continued to bring Feng Qing Yang along with him, Duan Ling Tian could keenly sense the killing intent in his surroundings. It felt as though every blade of gra.s.s, bird, beast, and tree were capable of killing him. It was a truly suffocating feeling.
On the contrary, Feng Qing Yang seemed completely at ease as he navigated the treacherous place.
"After this, remember to restrain your Divine Consciousness," Feng Qing Yang suddenly said in a solemn tone. He came to a halt and looked at a mountain valley that emitted an eerie aura.
The blood mist that shrouded the valley was even thicker than that at the gates. It was as though the valley was drenched in blood. It was truly a chilling sight.
