Chapter 3466: TeamEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zane showed an interested expression, "Interesting, you mean to say he was already dead, but his corpse was still releasing power, opening the hell rift?"

"Yes. Exillion’s strength was terrifying. Even dead, the power released by his body kept ordinary hell monsters from approaching."

Ignis said this while pointing at the dark red aura at the edge of the hell rift, "This power belongs to Exillion. If we follow the source of this power, we should be able to find where Exillion’s corpse is located."

Hearing this, Chen Yu and the others looked in the direction Ignis pointed.

Unfortunately, aside from Fang Heng and the Mag Clan members, no one else could see the faint red aura.

Ignis explained, "You do not possess hell’s power, so it is normal that you cannot see the flow of hell aura."

"Alright then."

Chen Yu scratched his head, feeling increasingly confused. He tried to organize his thoughts and asked again, "Then how did the spawns use Exillion’s power to open the hell passage?"

"Spawns?"

Ignis looked up at Chen Yu and shook his head in confusion, "What is that? A race? Sorry, I have never heard that name in hell."

"Let’s not discuss that for now." Fang Heng asked, "Ignis, the holy war you mentioned, was hell’s opponent the God Clan?"

Ignis shook his head, "I don’t know. It happened long ago, and I was not there. Everything was told to me by the ancestors. I only know it came from the divine realm, aimed at Exillion. With the Mag Clan’s strength at that time, we could not intervene in the holy war."

Chen Yu took out a photo of a hell rift in the Icefield region from his pocket and handed it to Ignis, "Have you seen this?"

Ignis took the photo and examined it carefully, then shook his head lightly and passed it to an elder of the Mag Clan nearby.

The elder quietly communicated something to Ignis.

"What did he say?"

"The elder doesn’t know either," Ignis explained, "That is a large hell rift, the passage leads to a deeper part of hell."

"I have a guess."

Fang Heng snapped his fingers and said, "It was the God Clan who invaded hell, defeated Exillion, and took some important artifacts from him."

"The power in Exillion’s body, or the lingering obsession in it, sensed that part being taken. In an unconscious state, his body instinctively opened the rift between hell and the real world, trying to reclaim that part."

Everyone listened to Fang Heng’s words and fell into deep thought.

Ignis said, "Sir, your speculation is reasonable."

Zane asked, "So what exactly did the Holy Realm take?"

"Hard to say."

Fang Heng shrugged and said, "If I had to guess, it might be something like the soul or will. Maybe Exillion can rely on that to revive."

Chen Yu and He Xueyan exchanged looks and fell silent again.

One spawn was already troublesome enough, now there was also a hell demon lord.

If Fang Heng was right, the human world was really in big trouble.

Chen Yu had already sent the group’s speculated information back to the Eastern Federation headquarters, then looked up and said, "Based on this, to completely close the hell passage, we either have to go find the part Exillion’s corpse wants to reclaim or directly hunt down Exillion’s corpse."

"Right, that’s roughly the idea."

Fang Heng nodded lightly, rubbed his wrist, and said, "Let’s go, Ignis."

"Huh? Go, go where...?"

"To the deep part of hell. Let’s go see if Exillion’s body has not been completely destroyed."

"Ah?"

Ignis was shocked hearing this.

Weren’t they just analyzing things clearly?

Either deal with Exillion or deal with the spawns.

And now they chose the suicidal option?

"You said it yourself, Exillion is already a corpse. What’s there to fear?"

Fang Heng shrugged and strode forward.

A demon lord?

Interesting!

Even if Exillion was still alive, he wasn’t afraid; let alone a body that had lost its strength.

Besides, with Abe Akaya around, they might be able to completely absorb the power from that body.

Anyway, they would see how things went.

...

Hell’s deep seventy-seventh layer.

A strong stench mixed with rotting sweet fishiness and strong acid filled the air, almost suffocating.

The rock walls were covered with constantly twisting and writhing fungal creatures, their surfaces continuously secreting sticky, corrosive, acidic fluid.

From the fleshy fungal bodies, eyeball-like forms occasionally bubbled out with squelching sounds.

"God Holy Light shine!"

A beam of holy light from God shone forward.

The eyeball forms attached to the fungal rock walls shattered under the light, and the sticky fungal creatures quickly dissolved.

Great Sage Aladdin and the Holy Court Glory Knight Legion led the team at the front, slowly exploring forward.

Since entering the seventy-seventh layer, the joint team from the Holy Realm, Central Federation, and Western District Federation had been wandering inside the Blood Flesh Maze for over five hours.

As they advanced, several times the group felt a sense of déjà vu, as if they had been circling the same area, unable to break through.

Ahead was another relatively open terrain.

Under Great Sage Aladdin’s signal, the squad gathered closer to the center.

Dormer, the operation leader from the Central Federation, surveyed the surroundings and felt a faint sensation of familiarity.

Could they be going in circles again?

Dormer stepped to the front of the team and saluted the God King, "God King, it has been five hours. Are you sure our direction forward is correct?"

"The breath of hell blocks our perception. This area contains a special energy field that takes time to decipher."

The God King appeared very young, with long golden hair and handsome features.

He nodded lightly, eyes showing some fatigue.

"The team is tired. Rather than wandering in the maze, better to rest for a moment, collect our thoughts, and seek a way to break through."

"Alright, I will try to send someone to contact the outside world and check on the situation out there."

Dormer nodded in agreement.

Their team had been in hell for two and a half days.

They could only be here with the Holy Realm’s assistance.

Everything followed the God King’s lead.

Dormer signaled the federation team to establish a temporary rest area in the open space alongside the Holy Court, then lowered his voice and quietly asked, "God King, how much farther to the hell orb?"

"Hmm, very close now. At most twenty more layers."

"Squish, ... squish ..."

Once again, the teeth-grinding squelching sound echoed.

Dormer looked up. In the passage ahead, layers of tumor-like creatures spread out, crawling rapidly along the sticky red fungal ground toward the Holy Court team’s rest area.
