Long Chen knew that this was the passage to the eighteen levels of hell.
The eighteen whirlpools led to the eighteen levels of the Eternal Hell.
The eighteen levels of the Eternal Hell were interconnected, so this wasn't the only entrance to each level.
Long Chen had already learned about the Eternal Hell. It was made up of eighteen levels of hell, namely the Netherworld Hell, the Blood Lake Hell, the Ghost Flame Hell, the Avici Hell, and so on.
Every hell had terrifying creatures and countless dangers. At the same time, there were many fortuitous encounters and treasures. Whether one could obtain them depended on one's fate.
"Twenty teams, follow me. You will be entering the Netherworld Hell, the Avici Hell, the Blood Lake Hell, and the Frost Hell respectively. As long as you walk into the vortex within a quarter of an hour, even if it's the same hell, the vortex will take you to different places. Therefore, you don't have to worry about meeting each other prematurely," explained one of the warriors who had perfected the Martial Dao.
"The twelve Supreme Alliances have already chosen your specific locations. I will now announce the five teams that will enter the Blood Lake Hell. The teams that hear your name will enter the Blood Lake Hell first. First, the Sword Spirit Emperor Domain."
Lingxiao and the rest walked out of the crowd, each of them overbearing. They were all kings of swords, carrying Dao weapons on their backs as they headed towards the Blood Lake Hell. Apart from Lingxiao and Wang Chao, the other three teams were also experts. Their battle prowess wasn't much weaker than Wang Chao's.
Fifteen minutes later, the warrior in the Martial Path Great Perfection Realm announced another team.
Just like that, as time passed, the teams entered one by one. Once the Blood Lake Hell was filled, the next was the Avici Hell. Coincidentally, the first team was the Evil Dragon Palace's turn.
He hadn't expected it to be his turn so soon. In this case, Long Chen only knew that five teams had gone to the Blood Lake Hell. He didn't know which teams were in the Avici Hell, but it didn't matter.
Under the cold gazes of the crowd, Long Chen and his team headed towards a black whirlpool.
The Hell of Avici was a very famous place. Although it was mostly surrounded by gloomy mountain ranges, there were rumors that there were a lot of man-eating creatures there. It was a place of slaughter, and was even worse than the other three hells.
At this moment, cries and screams could be heard coming from the vortex, as though there were countless ghosts wandering within.
The timid Soyeon trembled all over, not daring to step into the black vortex.
"Yan 'er, don't worry. We're here." Long Chen turned around and said.
"Yes, yes." Soyeon nodded heavily, but she still hid behind the crowd.
To be honest, Li Tianji also swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His face was a little pale.
"You're scared too."
Li Xuanji was dressed in a long black dress. She was as mysterious as a witch in the night. The atmosphere here was very suitable for her.
"Who said that?" Li Tianji puffed out his chest and said loudly.
Everyone roared with laughter.
The atmosphere eased up, and the oppressive feeling of terror finally disappeared.
"Hand in hand."
Long Chen suggested. Everyone listened to him and pulled each other's arms. Long Chen took the lead and jumped into the whirlpool.
Whoosh.
The five of them were instantly sucked into the whirlpool. The whirlpool was facing downwards. At this moment, they felt a crazy feeling of falling. They were completely weightless, and they couldn't even control their own strength.
"Don't panic."
Long Chen used a strong force to stabilize his body. With the help of the five of them, he was finally able to maintain an upright position. However, he was still falling crazily at this moment.
This was an extremely narrow and dark passageway. It was very scary. Fortunately, this passageway wasn't long. Soon, everyone could feel the exit below. After stabilizing their bodies, they landed steadily on an earthy yellow road.
"Where is this?" Soyeon patted her chest and said with lingering fear.
In front of them was a void, and the surroundings were filled with black sticky things. The only way out was the yellow road ahead. This yellow road was lonely and desolate. A hair-raising cry came from ahead, and the atmosphere was very gloomy.
"If we get out of here, we'll probably be in Avici Hell."
Long Chen calmed down and led everyone forward. After a few steps, a stone tablet appeared in front of them. There were three words written on it: Yellow Springs Road.
"Is this the Yellow Springs Road?"
The Yellow Springs Road was a path that connected the 18 levels of hell. It was also the passageway to the 18 levels of hell from the outside. Within the Eternal Hell, there were many such gloomy and indifferent paths. They were filled with a feeling of desolation, causing one to subconsciously feel fear.
The gloomy wind swirled around them, and the road seemed endless.
"There are flowers on both sides. It's beautiful." Soyeon, this weird little girl, loved to look around.
Actually, Long Chen had long discovered that there were fiery red flowers on both sides of the Yellow Springs Road. They were very beautiful. From afar, it looked like a fiery red carpet. However, these flowers were very mysterious. If one were to look at them for too long, they would feel dizzy and hallucinate. They might even be immersed in their memories.
"Don't look."
Long Chen warned her.
This Red Spider Lily was a kind of medicine that could affect the God Martial Soul. It was said that many people wanted to use this Red Spider Lily to harm people. They wanted to pick it, but as soon as they got close, they would first fall into a crazy illusion and lose consciousness.
The five of them moved forward quickly in silence. The surrounding Red Spider Lilies seemed to have come to life. They swayed even though there was no wind, as if they were welcoming their arrival.
Under the Red Spider Lilies, there were skeletons scattered helplessly. It was impossible to tell whether they were humans or demons.
After traveling at high speed on the Yellow Springs Road for about 15 minutes, Long Chen saw a light in front of him. After a while, they finally walked out. Looking back, the Yellow Springs Road was actually in the belly of a black mountain. Long Chen remembered the location of this mountain.
If they wanted to go back in three months, they would have to go out from here. Of course, it would be fine if they could find another way out.
"What a scary place."
Li Tianji looked around and his face darkened. He regretted following Li Xuanji and the others here.
Long Chen also felt a creepy gloominess and oppression. Looking up, they were in the middle of a group of black mountains. Or maybe the whole Avici Hell was a group of black mountains.
Some of them soared into the sky, some were entrenched on the ground. Most importantly, these black mountains looked strange. Some looked like the claws of a demon stretching out to the sky, and some looked like ferocious beasts. Gusts of cold wind swept through the whole Avici Hell. From time to time, there would be miserable screams coming from afar, as if someone was crying.
There was a putrid smell in the air. This was the smell of corpses, and it was everywhere. After walking a few steps, Long Chen discovered that there were white bones everywhere under his feet. Some were human bones, some were beast bones, some were naturally corroded, and some looked new. However, the bones were very smooth, and there was not a single bit of rotten flesh stuck to them.
"The creatures here like to eat the flesh and blood of outsiders. The flesh and blood of warriors or demons contain a large amount of life force and energy. After devouring our flesh and blood, these creatures will become stronger. The reason why these bones are so smooth is because they were licked clean."
Mo Xiaolang's words immediately made Li Tianji's face turn cold, and he quickly hid behind his sister. Soyeon screamed and stamped her feet in fear, "So scary, what should I do? I don't want to be eaten, sob sob …"
The sky was gloomy and gloomy, with strange dark clouds floating in the sky. From time to time, they would transform into terrifying forms. In such an environment, even Long Chen felt a little uncomfortable, let alone Soyeon. He looked around and said, "Why don't you two enter my Great Void Realm? The three of us can walk and kill outside."
He said this to Soyeon and Li Tianji.
"No, no, I also don't want to hide. I'm a man, it's fine, I can do it." Li Tianji quickly said.
"I also don't want to go in, it's boring. Although it's scary outside, it's very exciting." Soyeon said something that made them spurt out rice.
At this moment, Li Xuanji said, "I heard that the creatures that eat humans here are called the ghost race. In the Three Regions and Nine Realms, they only exist in the ancient ruins of the Nine Star Chaos City. Among them, the Eternal Hell has the most of these creatures. I heard that these creatures have a different cultivation system from the demon race and human race. Even their souls are very strange. There are even rumors that they come from ancient times and are a strange species left behind from that time …"
Regarding ancient things, this was something that Kitten understood the most. When Long Chen asked him, he said, "Don't ask me about this. I've also been asleep for a long time. I don't know most of the things that happened in the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent after the disappearance of the Divine Dragon. I woke up hundreds of thousands of years ago and traveled around this world. That's how I learned about so many new things. After that, I didn't have much power, so I stayed in the Myriad Kingdoms Domain to rest again. As expected, I followed you."
"Oh, oh."
Long Chen only felt that it was a little novel. Since Kitten didn't know, he didn't continue to ask. Coming to this place, they had to be very careful. Long Chen realized that his divine sense had been suppressed to an extreme level. Even the Soul Pupil Technique could only reach a distance of ten miles at most. For them, this distance could be covered in an instant.
"Xiao Lang, feel where the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Fire is first."
Long Chen said, then walked to Li Xuanji's side. At this moment, this woman was looking at him calmly. Her waist-length dark green hair was fluttering in the chilly wind, and her fair and delicate skin was so delicate that it seemed like it would break at the slightest touch.
"Are you okay?" Long Chen asked with concern.
