# Chapter 1198: Hell
The stone dragon's head rolled off, its powerful body shattering and exploding in all directions, saint-level power spreading out like swords cutting through the sky, a hundred mountains crumbling, a thousand hills turning to ash.
The Killing Saint Qi Luo pointed at the void, creating a black fissure that channeled all the destructive force into it, otherwise everyone present would have been impacted.
The people from the various Holy Lands sucked in cold breaths. Three Imperial Prince-level figures had just destroyed a saint-level puppet on the spot.
What did this mean? They could slay true saints!
"Dang..."
The bronze bell rang long and clear, echoing for hundreds of li. The entire Divine Spirit Lesser World was filled with murderous aura, crisscrossing sword energy, thousands upon thousands flying up, slashing toward this direction.
"Pu"
A war chariot from the Zi Mansion Holy Land instantly turned to powder, the several great experts inside transforming into bloody mist in a flash.
Chi!
Sword energy shifted like a thousand illusions as wind and clouds rose, multicolored rays crossing through the air. Even from far away, they made people's bodies ache, their fine hairs falling off.
For over a hundred thousand years, no outsider had ever intruded here. This was a killing realm, the former dwelling place of ancient saints from Hell.
Though its glory was no more, it was still world-shaking, filled with deadly traps. No matter who attacked, they could not advance a single step without paying a bloody price.
Xiu!
A thick sword energy, like a black mountain peak, swept across, instantly cleaving over a dozen people from the Jade Pool into bloody mist, triggering cries of alarm as the rest quickly retreated.
Hong!
The Yaoguang Holy Land suffered a heavy blow. A giant sword descended from the sky, smashing over a dozen eminent elders into meat paste.
This was a slaughter calamity. Heaven-piercing sword energy rose one after another, thick as mountains, nearly reaching the saint level. It was unclear whether it came from ancient formations or was delivered by someone.
Qi Luo let out a long roar, his sound waves like ocean tides sweeping forward, blocking all the sword energy. He held the line here, cautiously staring into the depths of the mystic realm, on guard against the most terrifying enemy.
The Big Black Dog grew furious, quickly setting up a row of array platforms. This was a fragment of the Primordial Slaughter Formation, and immediately auspicious energy burst forth, killing intent spreading for ten thousand li.
Hong!
Dust and smoke surged into the sky ahead. A stretch of mountainous land was flattened, but the sword energy continued unabated, still attacking.
"Kill!"
The Holy Prince let out a long roar, leaping several li in a single bound, charging into the sword light. He swung a large black staff, striking east and west, hitting south and north, sweeping in all directions.
Hong long long!
The great mountains were like paper, unable to withstand a single blow. Either they turned to ash or flew up like straw, as he forcibly destroyed swaths of dao patterns.
Ji Zi stepped forward, shuttling through the void, raising his hand to flip dozens of mountain ridges into the air, hurling them deep into Hell, dismantling the offensive here.
Ye Fan's entire body was like divine glass, shrouded in multicolored light. With each step, he flickered in and out of existence, propping up a golden gate from which endless weapons flew out, sweeping everything before him.
Zheng zheng! Sword cries shook the heavens, tearing through heaven and earth. The lingering bell sounds were earth-shattering, ripples spreading out with irresistible force, destroying all things. A pagoda rose and fell, erasing dao traces, grinding away killing intent.
The Holy Prince, Ji Zi, and Ye Fan moved together, coordinating with Black Emperor's killing formation, forcibly carving out a path. Blood splattered everywhere. Over a hundred people from the Assassin Divine Dynasty died, while swaths of terrifying restrictions were also broken.
"Those who trespass in Hell will never return, sinking here, unable to be reborn for eternity." A sinister voice echoed.
"Ridiculous! Hell has already been exposed. What are you now? On the verge of destruction, yet you still dare to threaten us!" An elder from the Jiang Family sneered coldly.
"In the past, the Holy Lands feared you because we didn't know your nest, making you impossible to guard against. Now we're clearing out the nest—none of you will escape!" A living fossil from the Dayan Holy Land shouted.
"Divine Spirit, open your eyes, devour everyone's blood. The sacrifices are ready, enjoy them to your heart's content." The gloomy voice sounded again.
This tone was very strange, extremely cold, making people indeed feel a terrifying aura, goosebumps rising on their skin.
"Playing tricks! Before dao arts that can shatter heaven and earth, everything is illusion. Hell will be destroyed today!"
Black Emperor roared, opening his mouth to spit out three hundred and sixty-five large banners. They covered the sky, smoke billowing, killing intent endless, sweeping forward.
Tremendous sounds, fierce clashes. All kinds of killing light flew out. The front became a scorched zone, even chaotic energy being blasted out.
One must admit, Hell's defenses were astonishing. Even the outer perimeter involved ancient saint-level formations, terrifying beyond measure.
From time to time, heaven-rending killing aura flew over. People from the Holy Lands cried out in alarm. In an instant, dozens were cut in half, falling into pools of blood.
Everyone's face turned ashen. Even at the final moment, with their nest—unseen for millennia—exposed to the world, Hell's people still put up stubborn resistance.
If this continued, even if they succeeded in taking this Divine Spirit Lesser World, the casualties might be severe in the end.
They broke through another layer of restrictions. The crowd advanced over broken mountainous terrain. This Divine Spirit Lesser World was extremely sturdy, covered everywhere with array patterns, dense and thick, killing intent endless.
"Use the cosmic mothership, destroy this place!" Ye Fan said.
Heavenly Village had three motherships, but because space here was limited and too dangerous, only Li Heishui was allowed to pilot one inside.
"Hong!"
Swaths of light flew out, flooding the area ahead, aiming to completely destroy this place. Blazing runes were inscribed into the void.
This was the mothership's dao weapon, unleashing overwhelming power. Like a sharp sword cutting grass, it swept away everything in its path, various restrictions rapidly disintegrating.
Ye Fan and the others conquered eight layers of dangerous terrain in succession. At the ninth layer, they could no longer advance. They could clearly see the shadows of the Assassin Divine Dynasty's people, but could do nothing about them.
In the mountainous land, black mist curled, dark clouds gathered thick, as if the gates of hell had swung wide open, the aura of death covering everything.
"A flawless ancient formation set by a Saint King!" Black Emperor was startled, his copper bell-like eyes bulging, sharp light shooting out as they opened and closed.
Everyone had encountered a major problem. This ancient formation, after hundreds of thousands of years, had only been damaged by a small portion, making it difficult to break through.
"Give me the Divine Maiden Furnace!" the Killing Saint said. Li Tian handed it over.
Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Holy Prince stepped forward, joining Qi Luo in activating the ancient Great Saint's... "In the end, Hell has still declined. If it were the glorious times before the ancient era, even without our foundation, ten ancient saints might not have been able to conquer this place!"
"Just a shadow." Ye Fan said. He could shatter this residual shadow left by the Killing Saint with one punch.
"Hehe... everyone, it's time to depart. I never thought you would truly find this place. First time in ten thousand years! If you're careful, you can live longer. All of you, die!"
Hell's Killing Saint's gaze was terrifying. The surrounding heaven and earth instantly changed, pressing inward. Dao fire blazed fiercely, forming a cage, intending to refine everyone into ash.
"Ah..." Screams rang out in swaths. People from the Holy Lands died in large numbers in an instant, unable to resist, turning into calamity ash.
"Ancient Great Saint array patterns!" Black Emperor exclaimed. Hearing this, everyone's face turned deathly pale.
The Divine Spirit Lesser World was being compressed, actually branded with Great Saint-level dao patterns. The entire mystic realm was a giant killing formation!
"A pity. If seven or eight saints had come in, it would have been worth it. But three Imperial Princes are enough." The skin-and-bones Hell Killing Saint said darkly.
"You're really willing to go this far. Activating an ancient Great Saint's formation like this will cause this rare Divine Spirit Lesser World to collapse." A living fossil from the Dayan Holy Land said, his expression anxious, with no way to escape.
"The Divine Spirit Lesser World gave birth to a World Stone. We dug it out—that's the essence. We can reopen a mystic realm later. Alright, all of you, get on your way." Hell's Killing Saint's shadow shouted, merging into the formation as terrifying killing intent erupted.
Hong!
The people from the Holy Lands were terrified. Some had brought saint artifacts—though not legendary saint weapons, they still possessed heaven-shaking power. They struck with all their might, but could not break open this realm.
"Ah..." Swaths of screams rang out.
Life bloomed. In an instant, over half of the several hundred people were dead or wounded. Blood flowed everywhere. Before the ancient Great Saint formation, cultivators were as weak as ants and insects, falling in rows like wheat being cut.
"Hong!"
Yan Yixi let out a clear cry, activating the Divine Maiden Furnace, opening the lid, and swallowing everyone and everything that could be taken—Li Tian, Dragon Horse, Black Emperor, the mothership, and more—inside for protection.
This was a slaughter calamity!
The Divine Maiden Furnace could withstand the impact of the Great Saint ancient formation. However, once everyone fell inside, they still hadn't escaped the crisis. Energy boiled, the Great Saint artifact vibrated. Though the divine furnace was undamaged, the people inside couldn't bear it. Many turned into bloody mud within the furnace.
Ye Fan's expression was very cold. He took out the Green Cauldron, holding it in his hand, standing before everyone to protect them!
When the Great Saint-level fluctuations surged in, the Green Cauldron finally emitted hazy immortal light, blocking the sky-filling energy.
"Hong!"
The Divine Spirit Lesser World could not withstand the operating force of the Great Saint formation and finally disintegrated. Divine light wrapped around the survivors as they rushed out.
Black Emperor broke free from the divine light, covered in blood, crashing to the ground. He roared: "This emperor carefully prepared a world-covering killing formation and didn't even get to use it before almost being killed first!"
Ye Fan's expression was very cold, saying: "I knew the ancient divine dynasty would be hard to destroy. Even if it's no longer at its peak, it's still dangerous. But they won't escape their doom!"
