Chapter 348: Hell on Earth

Chapter 348: Human Purgatory

“Oh, the blood on the ground is flowing, heading in one direction,” Lan Xin said, surprised.

Lin Fan put away the divine medicine and looked back. Sure enough, the blood of the people he had just killed was converging, all flowing in one direction.

“Ah, how could this happen?!”

Suddenly, a scream rang out. Wang Chengyu, who was left with only half his body, was bound to the ground, his blood gushing out wildly and seeping into the stone wall.

And that area was exactly where Feng Xinglie had been rescued and disappeared.

Soon, the few of them watched him struggle on the ground, but it was futile. His body shriveled, and his flesh withered.

This scene was terrifying. They widened their eyes and quickly retreated, moving away from the blood-sucking demonic wall.

“Boom!”

Someone tried to attack the stone wall to stop it, but their magical power directly passed through and disappeared.

“No, there’s another space behind the stone wall; it’s an illusion!” the Wei Family Young Master said, mysterious runes flashing brilliantly in his pupils.

Afterward, he hesitated for a moment and then entered. The Tuo Gu Family Fairy also followed him, advancing and retreating together.

The Tuo Gu Family, like the Wei Family, was one of the three great Chang Sheng Families of Emperor City. Compared to Lin Fan and the others, the two of them were a small group.

“Brother-in-law, should we go and take a look?” Xu Chengdao asked, feeling uneasy, treating Lin Fan as his backbone.

Lin Fan pondered and finally chose to walk towards the stone wall, but he was very cautious, putting on a set of black gold armor covered in cracks.

He had stripped this from the corpse of a Dragon Transformation True Immortal. Although its exterior was damaged, its defensive power was still extraordinary, making it a rare treasure.

“Old brother, you go into the qiankun bag first. The path ahead might be dangerous,” Lin Fan said, putting away Qing Yang Heavenly God, deciding not to let him take any more risks.

Because no one knew what was behind the stone wall, especially Feng Xinglie’s disappearance, which made him very uneasy.

“Brother-in-law, and me…” Lan Xin’s big eyes sparkled, her voice sweet, as she hugged Lin Fan’s arm and acted spoiled.

Lin Fan glanced at her and took her into the qiankun bag as well, but he didn’t seal it completely, leaving an opening in case of an accident.

“Brother-in-law…”

Xu Chengdao grinned, just about to speak, but Lin Fan glared him back.

“It’s understandable for her, a Divine Fire ‘coward,’ but you’re a Heavenly God, a Xu Family Prince!”

With that, Lin Fan held the Human Emperor Banner and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk in his hands before striding into the world behind the stone wall.

As soon as they entered, a wild, ancient aura assailed them, as if they had returned to the primordial era when heaven and earth first opened.

What met their eyes was a desolate, boundless land, and gloom was its eternal theme.

Here, it was endlessly dim, with only some ribbon-like black mists swirling, looking like cold demonic earth.

“How strange, why would an Immortal Palace hide such a world?” Xu Chengdao poked his head out from behind Lin Fan to observe.

“Whoosh!”

Lin Fan didn’t stop. His expression changed slightly, and he rapidly moved towards one direction, leaving afterimages as the Void Realm twisted.

At this moment, he sensed that another piece of the divine disk was nearby, so he rushed towards the end of the land.

At the end of the horizon, ahead lay a misty red haze, enveloping the land, exuding an indescribable eerie feeling.

Furthermore, there were mountains here, one after another, all submerged in the mist, as if draped in a light veil.

Unlike the previous great plain, there was a strong visual discontinuity. The mountainous area seemed to appear instantly, making people very uncomfortable.

“So oppressive, Brother-in-law, a peerless Devil Head won’t suddenly pop out and eat us all, will he?”

Lan Xin peered out from the qiankun bag’s opening, feeling a surge of trepidation.

Lin Fan said nothing, opening his Heavenly Eye to observe. He discovered an anomaly: runes occasionally rose from the depths of the mountains, glowing with brilliant colors.

At the same time, the Wei Family Young Master and the Tuo Gu Family Young Miss were also there. They seemed to have seen something and instantly let out a scream.

“Eighth Ancestor!”

“Uncle!”

As Lin Fan approached, his pupils contracted, a shocking sight. On those cliffs, countless skeletons hung, with blood still dripping.

Upon careful sensing, the Realm of these people, the lowest was at Divine Fire, and the highest was at the Master Level, totaling tens of thousands of corpses.

Lin Fan’s expression changed. Some he had seen in the ancient city; a portion were knights, some were Loose Cultivators, and others were scions of Chang Sheng Families.

Without exception, their deaths were all tragic, as if they had been treated as sacrifices, their flowing blood gathering towards a Dao platform.

“It’s too terrifying, a human purgatory!” Qing Yang Heavenly God trembled, also observing from the qiankun bag’s opening, seeing everything clearly.

“Sixth Uncle!” Xu Chengdao cried out, stepping out from behind Lin Fan, staring at the skeleton on a cliff, a trace of sorrow on his face.

Not only him, but Lan Xin’s eyes instantly turned red. She also saw a respected elder dead there, tears streaming down her face.

Xu Chengdao couldn’t hold back. His clan uncle and clansmen were exposed in the wilderness, hung here as sacrifices. He wanted to rush over to rescue them.

“Don’t go over, that place is very strange!” Lin Fan pulled him back, his expression solemn.

“Don’t stop me. As a Xu Family Prince, how can I stand by and watch my clansmen’s bones be humiliated without doing anything?”

Xu Chengdao was indignant, full of youthful vigor, completely unlike his previous fearful, cautious self. He now had the demeanor of a Prince.

But, the next moment, before he had even taken a few steps, he looked back and transmitted, “Brother-in-law, why aren’t you still holding me back? Are you really going to watch me die?!”

Lin Fan was speechless. Good heavens, this Xu Family Prince was only fierce on the surface, but in reality, he was terrified. If he were truly made to go, he would chicken out again.

“Quick… go…”

Suddenly, a faint voice came from among the cliffs. The few of them looked and saw that it was an elder from the Tuo Gu Family speaking.

His Physical Body was withered, all his essence blood drained, leaving only skin and bones. That he could still transmit a voice now was only due to his last wisp of lingering obsession.

“Boom!”

However, before they could inquire further, the entire mountain range shook, runes flashed, and a strange red mist permeated, reeking of blood.

“Ow…”

The next moment, the Dao platform in the center of the mountains actually cracked open, and the wailing of ten thousand ghosts echoed, shrill and piercing, striking fear into the Soul.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

Outside the mountains, everyone was greatly shocked, all rapidly retreating, their scalps tingling, feeling a chill all over. That aura was too terrifying.

It was at this moment that a pool emerged from the cracked Dao platform, but it contained not divine liquid, but endless fresh blood.

Red light shot into the sky, terrifyingly enchanting, dyeing the heaven and earth, twisting the Void Realm, making one’s hair stand on end.

“I feel like just looking at it, my Soul will be sucked in.”

All of them were shocked. Although the pool was very dilapidated and marked by time, it actually contained specks of Immortal Qi within the blood.

Most importantly, they also saw two people beside the blood pool: an unfamiliar old man and Feng Xinglie.

“You escaped here?” Lin Fan frowned, feeling a sense of unease, and subconsciously tightened his grip on the Chaos Magical Artifact in his sleeve.

“Heh heh, you’re all dead. You’ll become sacrifices for the blood pool, just like these people!”

Feng Xinglie said chillingly, brimming with Killing Intent, making everyone’s hearts pound violently and their hair stand on end.
