The ancient Hell Realm.
The earth and sky were enveloped in a thick gray haze, with one volcano after another erupting torrents of magma that soared hundreds of feet into the air, igniting fires wherever they landed.
The dense black smoke shot up, blotting out the sun and rendering the sky grim and dark.
This was the normal state of the Hell’s root.
Eternal like this.
But today, this somber world was pierced.
One after another, fireballs burned brightly as they rubbed against the atmosphere, falling like meteors from above, lighting up the skies and dispelling the smoke.
Letting the long-lost light illuminate the somber world.
Boom, boom, boom—
Amidst the intensely dense thunderous sounds.
Countless meteors fell onto the ancient land, stirring up dust everywhere.
Figures of creatures from Central Earth gradually emerged from the dust and converged together.
This was the first time in history that Central Earth had set foot in the Hell Realm!
Taicang State Great Wine Sacrifice scanned the surroundings with strands of shock:
"Indeed, as the ancient books described, when the World Tree was pulled out, the root of Hell fell into a state of destruction."
"So many ages have passed, yet it remains a wasteland."
"Moreover..."
He glanced down at the endlessly rolling magma beneath his feet, his face showing caution: "In the depths of the underground, countless chaotic forces lurk, unable to be released."
"This should be the remnants of the World Tree from back then."
Jiang Fan was secretly astonished.
How many ages had passed since the World Tree was taken away? Yet there were still remnants of unextinguished power?
He couldn’t imagine what kind of existence that tree was.
Could the Void Ancient Tree within him be as formidable as this World Tree?
But now was not the time for comparison.
He sensed the aura of the Hell Realm, furrowed his brows and said: "Even in the Barbaric Wilderness, the Yin Qi is denser than in the Eleventh Layer."
"The Nascent Soul Realm can’t linger for long, and staying too long in the Divinity Transformation Realm will also have effects."
"Moreover, the Hell Realm lacks any Spiritual Energy."
"We must fight a quick battle."
Several Great Wine Sacrifices nodded in succession, even with their protection, the Nascent Soul Realm army couldn’t remain long in the Hell Realm.
Taicang State Great Wine Sacrifice nodded and said: "We must swiftly conquer the center of Hell’s root."
"I offer a reward in the name of the Great Wine Sacrifice; whoever first enters the center of Hell’s root may experience a shared enlightenment from the nine Great Wine Sacrifices."
"Or be assisted to advance to the Divinity Transformation Realm!"
"If it’s a Great Venerate, they will receive a Merit Divine Pearl."
At this, whether Great Venerate, Divinity Transformation Realm, or Nascent Soul Realm, all were overjoyed.
This was a rare opportunity in Central Earth.
Wuhen Sage gave his two disciples, Tongxin and Tong Hun, a slap each and said: "Did you hear?"
"You all should learn from Jiang Fan; if you don’t carve out a name this time, wait to be punished when you return!"
Tongxin and Tong Hun, the two Great Venerates, became much more obedient after being scolded, bowing repeatedly.
Leng Yue Sage glanced back at the Silver Moon Great Venerate and said: "The Great Wine Sacrifice’s Merit Divine Pearl is extraordinary."
"Your chance has come."
Silver Moon Great Venerate struck his fists together, brimming with fighting spirit: "Starting from the same line, I won’t lose to anyone!"
Now, with the Young Emperor’s future and the Reincarnation Mountain Master advanced to the Sage Realm.
Among the Heavenly Human Five Declines, who could surpass them?
Everyone was also inspired.
The morale of the whole army instantly soared.
But just at this moment, a cold, mocking voice floated by: "You actually dared to come!"
In front of the army, amid the gray mist, the figure of a refined middle-aged man appeared from illusion to solid form.
"Asura Saint Son!" Several Sages roared in anger.
Today’s passive situation for Central Earth was entirely this man’s doing!
The Heavenly State Great Wine Sacrifice didn’t say a word, directly attacked, sweeping forth a Law of Wrath.
