Chapter 70 The Environment of Hell
Although Karl knew that the metallic lifeforms were extremely fast, this was Karl's first time riding in one, and this was Hell, where the gravity was a hundred times that of the material plane.
"It seems we really need to buy a metal life form, even if it's only at the Saint-level."
"
Karl had estimated that this Saint-level metal life form's flight speed had surpassed his own, which meant that in terms of speed, the Saint-level metal life form was superior to him.
That means that if danger arises again, the speed of riding a metal lifeform has a higher priority than flying.
However, Karl was unaware of the valuation of Saint-level metal lifeforms, and more importantly, he had no money.
The wealth of the material plane is insignificant to the divine plane, which is why many powerful beings in the material plane are not very concerned about wealth.
"Tell these newcomers to Hell a general overview of what Hell is like," Amelia said to the thin, purple-robed youth beside her.
"Yes, Captain."
The gaunt young man in purple robes immediately stood up and looked at everyone, saying, "You all come from the material plane. Now I will tell you about some things about Hell. As one of the four supreme planes, Hell is naturally full of powerful people, even surpassing the other seven divine planes. As newcomers, you should find a tribe or family to join."
"In Hell, there are five vast, almost boundless continents: the Bauhinia Continent, the Kalosha Continent, the Muya Continent, the Blood Peak Continent, and the Azure Floating Continent."
"Of the five continents, the Zijing Continent in the north and the Kalosha Continent in the west are both connected to the edge of the plane. That is to say, the northernmost point of the Zijing Continent is the edge of the plane, and the westernmost point of the Kalosha Continent is the edge of the plane."
"Besides these five continents, the rest of the area is sea. The five continents almost form a ring, within which lies the vast Starry Mist Sea." The Starry Mist Sea is extremely vast, far exceeding the area of any one of the five continents. It is considered an inner sea, while the outer sea, the region surrounding the five continents, mainly lies to the south and east of the ring formed by the continents. This outer sea is called the "Sea of Chaos." The Sea of Chaos is the most expansive!
The thin, purple-robed youth smiled calmly, "Of course, these things are of little significance to you. Any continent is incredibly vast, and many powerful individuals spend their entire lives on the same one. Our continent is called the Purple Thorn Continent!"
Seeing that the newcomers' expressions didn't change much, the thin, purple-robed youth continued, "In this hell, there are seven great gods who govern the land and the sea respectively, and are also known as the Seven Lords of Hell."
"Of course, the great God disdains to manage mundane affairs. Normally, the affairs of various places are managed by the various prefecture lords. The place you are going to this time is Fengyan Prefecture, which is a medium-sized prefecture with a radius of more than one billion miles."
At this point, many of the newlyweds present changed their expressions.
A billion miles—to put it in perspective, the straight-line distance between many material planes is only tens of thousands of miles. The difference is more than a hundredfold. In addition, the gravity of Hell is a hundred times that of the material plane, making the speed of flight even slower. This also means that almost everyone present will spend their entire lives on the Purple Thorn Continent.
"In other words, when you step from the material plane into hell, it has already been decided where you will live in the future," the thin, purple-robed youth said calmly.
Just then.
"boom!"
A roaring sound came from afar.
Everyone looked out through the transparent window in confusion, and saw two groups of people fighting each other in mid-air in the distance. Lightning flashed, the wind howled, and the earth cracked. More than a hundred god-level powerhouses were fighting, and the scene was indeed amazing.
"Get out of my way!" A cold, angry shout came from Amelia's mouth, echoing directly from the golden dragon's body and resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
The hundred god-level powerhouses who had been fighting fiercely saw the golden dragon, especially the pattern on its head, which was a bewitching bauhinia flower!
"It's the Bauhinia Army!"
"Run for your life!"
The hundred-plus god-level experts were startled and, forgetting all their hatred, scattered in all directions. In the blink of an eye, they had all vanished.
"See that? Fighting and dying, that's the main theme of hell. The best way to survive is to join a tribe or clan. Without the protection of the strong, you will die quickly, just like those people outside. They are either lower gods or middle gods, and you are their prey."
"As for living better, one must become a god on one's own, or at least a mid-level god. If some of you are lucky enough to comprehend four or five profound mysteries one day, you might become a member of our Purple Thorn Army." The thin, purple-robed youth said this with a hint of arrogance in his expression.
"Six, you talk too much," Amelia interrupted.
"Uh, big sister." The thin young man in the purple robe shrank his neck and quickly changed the subject.
In Karl's view, perhaps this thin, purple-robed youth was like himself, who had become a mid-level god on his own after arriving in Hell, comprehended four or perhaps five profound mysteries, and successfully joined the Purple Thorn Army. His words just now were less of guidance and more of a boast.
And it's very likely that he only recently joined the Bauhinia Army.
In the time that followed, apart from the occasional words spoken by the thin, purple-robed youth, the captain, whom the thin, purple-robed youth called "Big Sister," remained in seclusion, cultivating with her eyes closed. She would only speak up to order others to retreat when encountering a battle between god-level experts.
"Alright, we've finally arrived at Peak Rock Prefecture." Amelia stood up, stretched leisurely, and laughed, "Fortunately, Peak Rock Prefecture isn't too far from Moonlit Cliff. Last time, we went to Crimson Flame Prefecture, and it took us more than twenty years to fly there."
"The five who have reached godhood, stand up."
Karl and the others immediately stood up. Apart from the two who had arrived earlier, the other two had been teleported over late at night.
The gaunt, purple-robed youth flipped his hand, revealing five black stones the size of fingers: "One for each of you. These inkstones are valuable; keep them safe. Only those who reach the god level and arrive in Hell will have them." He then distributed one stone to each of the five people.
Karl squeezed the inkstone in his hand. It was a cube with sides the size of a grain of rice. It looked like a very ordinary mineral, but Karl could feel a chilling aura emanating from it.
Knowing the origin of the inkstone, Karl naturally knew that the special aura within it was due to a trace of the power of the main god.
Seeing that several god-level beings had already obtained the inkstone, a large hole suddenly appeared in the golden dragon's belly, and more than a dozen powerful beings from the material plane were thrown out, including Karl.
While still in mid-air, Karl saw the giant metal dragon in the sky continue flying forward.
