Chapter 3465: A GuessEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the fifty-ninth layer of hell, under the influence of the hell aura, even the members of their Mag Clan were affected, with their eyes slightly reddening.
However, the Licker creatures were completely unaffected by the hell mist!
Upon closer observation, Ignis seemed to have discovered the reason.
The Licker creatures were covered with a pale white barrier, and when the hell mist aura touched the pale white barrier, it quickly dissolved.
Ignis was secretly startled.
What kind of strength was that?
It could dissolve the hell mist so easily?
At this moment, Fang Heng also stood still, looking ahead.
A fusion space area?
Ahead, the space distorted oddly.
The spatial fold continuously rippled outward in sticky waves.
The boundary between hell and the game world!
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!!"
The Lickers and Abe Akaya easily crossed the boundary, continuing to chase the hell Mad Demon, as if completely unaware of the boundary.
Fang Heng asked, "Ignis, did you see that?"
"Huh?"
Ignis looked in the direction Fang Heng pointed to, showing some confusion in his eyes, and asked, "Sir, what are you referring to?"
"Never mind, it’s nothing."
It seemed that hell creatures could not discern the boundary of the game world.
Fang Heng tried to walk forward, passing through the world boundary.
There was no anomaly.
Instead, Abe Akaya sent a spiritual link, reporting that he had found a smaller hell rift on the fifty-fifth layer.
"Ignis, come with me."
"Yes, Sir!"
Fang Heng changed direction and soon followed Abe Akaya’s guidance to the rift.
This hell rift was not fully opened yet, only about the thickness of a fingernail.
Visible to the naked eye, strands of dark red aura crawled out of the narrow rift and attached around it, as if constantly tearing at the rift to enlarge it.
"Ignis, come take a look. Any findings?"
Ignis stood beside Fang Heng, observing from afar. He already had some guesses. His expression grew serious as he slowly approached the rift’s edge. Upon seeing the gathered dark red aura around the rift, his face immediately changed drastically.
"Sir! It’s Exillion!"
...
Outer World.
Outside one of the hell rifts.
Chen Yu hurriedly arrived with accompanying Eastern Federation soldiers and some supplies, joining He Xueyan’s guarding team.
At present, the safety sanctuaries worldwide were not doing well. The central hell rift area was gradually becoming increasingly hard to defend. Therefore, the Eastern Federation pinned its hopes on Fang Heng.
Upon hearing that Fang Heng was entering hell to investigate, the Eastern Federation quickly assembled an elite team to accompany him.
Because the other side of the hell rift corresponded to the Realm of Hell, which was filled with terrifying hell monsters and the troublesome hell mist, this mist could cause permanent harm to humans and also affect a large portion of electronic artifacts. Thus, soldiers had to replace their equipment.
During the interval when the soldier team was changing equipment, Chen Yu asked He Xueyan about Fang Heng’s situation.
"Ah? He went in alone?"
Chen Yu found it very strange.
Why had he suddenly gone alone again?
Was it because of some discovery?
A soldier walked over and saluted them, "Report, sir. The number of hell monsters emerging from the rift has shown a clear decreasing trend."
Chen Yu and He Xueyan’s eyes brightened simultaneously.
Could it be that Fang Heng had found something?
"Let’s go, we’ll take a look."
When Chen Yu’s squad arrived at the front line outside the hell rift, the hell monsters had gradually stopped emerging from the abyss.
"Whoosh!"
A figure dashed out from the rift, quickly approaching the defensive line around the rift.
"They’re all here."
Fang Heng stopped before Chen Yu and his team, stood firmly, and nodded to everyone, saying, "Just right, I have some discoveries. Follow me."
...
More than ten minutes later, after changing equipment, the federation team again entered the hell rift together with Fang Heng.
He Xueyan looked clearly at the interior of hell and was surprised.
It was completely different from the previous visit!
The floor and rock walls of the hell cavern were covered with a layer of dark red plant vines.
Additionally, the environmental temperature had dropped by more than ten degrees compared to before, and the concentration of the hell chaotic mist in the air had also significantly reduced.
Even the previously countless hell creatures, which had been so dense one couldn’t see the end, were now completely gone.
The soldier team noticed more than a dozen hell Mag Clan members nearby and immediately raised their guns, aiming at them.
"Hold fire."
Fang Heng raised his hand, "They are friends from the hell Mag Clan, here to help."
Hell? Friends?
The federation soldiers exchanged glances, momentarily doubting their own hearing.
"Hurry up and lower your guns."
Chen Yu immediately signaled everyone to lower their muzzles.
He had long known Fang Heng’s connections, but hadn’t expected he even had acquaintances in hell.
He Xueyan also looked at the Mag Clan with a puzzled expression.
Fang Heng nudged Ignis in the crowd and said, "Tell them about your discovery."
"Yes."
Ignis stepped out from the group, approached the rift, and explained in fluent human language, "Everyone, in my judgment, this rift was opened by the power of Exillion."
Everyone present exchanged looks.
This was the first time anyone had heard the name, and all wore expressions of confusion.
Zane asked, "Who?"
"Exillion," Ignis said, "It is rumored his power was terrifying. He once briefly controlled all of hell. Some in hell called him the Demon Lord. In our clan’s records, he single-handedly started the holy war between hell and the divine realm."
Ignis shrank his neck and continued, "I only heard this from the elders in our clan. Exillion’s power was terrifying. He once entered the deep parts of hell. At that time, the hell chaotic breath was not as dreadful as it is now. Exillion found the source of hell and wanted to fuse with its power. If his plan succeeded, his strength would have grown terrifyingly."
"Then, Exillion would have spread hell across the entire world."
"Unfortunately, somehow this information was leaked, and the divine realm opened a passage into hell, forcibly invading and sparking the holy war."
"The exact process of the holy war is unclear, but the clan elders only know that the divine realm won decisively. They completely killed Exillion, but as a result, hell’s breath became chaotic, and each layer of hell’s forces was reshuffled."
"Wait a moment."
Chen Yu was somewhat confused and temporarily stopped Ignis, asking, "You’re saying Exillion is already dead? If so, then how did he open the hell rift?"
"His soul and will are dead, but legend says Exillion’s body still exists in the deeper parts of hell."
