2307 Lesser and Greater Hells
Avici was ancient and mysterious, an existence that crossed eras.
Emperor Bo Xun might be the only existence that managed to survive in Avici!
If the 16 Hell Diagrams were drawn by Emperor Bo Xun, there was a high chance that this expert knew a lot of secrets and information about Avici.
The Martial Dao Prime Body knew almost nothing about Avici. Even if he wanted to leave, he could only return the way he came.
This time round, without the aura connection of the Fiend Obsession Sutra, there was a chance that the Martial Dao Prime Body may never be able to leave this maze-like ant nest!
Furthermore, there was the threat of the terrifying Hell Ants.
If he could obtain some information about Avici from Emperor Bo Xun, he might be able to find a way out.
At the thought of the Hell Ants, the Martial Dao Prime Body could not help but recall something.
When the Hell Ants that were chasing them arrived before the hall, all of them stopped in their tracks and did not charge in. Now that he thought about it, it was probably because of the existence of Emperor Bo Xun!
As for the reason why Emperor Bo Xun’s flesh was eaten by the Hell Ants when he fell here, it might be because he was severely injured at that time.
Furthermore, the Hell Suppression Tripod existed in Avici at that time.
Apart from his skinny figure, Emperor Bo Xun did not seem like he was injured at all—there was a high chance that he had already recovered.
The entire matter seemed to make sense.
However, there was a big question!
How was Emperor Bo Xun still alive?
Was he not dead the entire time, or… had he revived?
If Emperor Bo Xun was not dead the entire time, how did he manage to survive after being attacked by the Hell Ants and devoured?
Avici was a world of its own and was isolated from Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. How did he recover from his injuries and survive till now?
It was even more unimaginable if Emperor Bo Xun was reborn.
The Martial Dao Prime Body had once suspected if this Emperor Bo Xun before them was merely a remnant consciousness.
However, when he saw Emperor Bo Xun empowering Yan Beichen, he denied that speculation.
A mere remnant consciousness would have almost no ability, let alone the power to impart empowerment.
Furthermore, if it was just a remnant consciousness, Heavenly Wolf would recognize it right away.
The Martial Dao Prime Body even wondered if it was the Weapon Spirit of the Ji Du Saber causing trouble.
However, when he held the Ji Du Saber, he was entangled by the power of the six desires. This meant that the Weapon Spirit of the Ji Du Saber was still within.
That was the reason for the Ji Du Saber’s act of offense.
Right then, Emperor Bo Xun retracted his finger and black qi surged into his eyes before vanishing swiftly.
At that moment, Emperor Bo Xun’s dignified expression turned sinister and terrifying!
Although his facial features did not change, his aura changed drastically!
Heavenly Wolf had been peeking in the direction of Emperor Bo Xun the entire time. When he saw that, he shuddered in fear and retracted his gaze hurriedly, praying internally.
As the Martial Dao Prime Body pondered, he suddenly felt a chill!
His heart skipped a beat and he looked towards Emperor Bo Xun instinctively.
At that moment, Emperor Bo Xun had already recovered completely. He looked at Su Zimo with a smile and nodded slightly. “This lad’s life is not in danger. Once he awakens, his injuries will heal completely.”
“Furthermore, he should be able to take the step to advance to the Heaven Essence realm!”
The Martial Dao Prime Body bowed and cupped his fists once more. “Thank you, senior.”
Although he said that, the Martial Dao Prime Body was already on guard.
The sinister feeling from earlier on sent chills down his spine!
In Avici, his spirit perception was useless and he had to be extremely alert—he could not afford to be careless!
Although Yan Beichen was still unconscious, his lifeforce had stabilized.
“Senior, you’ve stayed in Avici for a long time. Do you know how to get out?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.
After ensuring that Yan Beichen was fine, he had to leave as soon as possible.
The Martial Dao Prime Body could sense the sinister aura in Avici as well. He did not know what would happen if they continued staying here.
“Of course I know.”
Emperor Bo Xun stood up slowly. “It’s about time to leave as well.”
He gestured for Heavenly Wolf to carry Yan Beichen on his back. Casually, he picked up the Ji Du Saber and hung it around Yan Beichen’s waist.
“Old master, this is…”
Heavenly Wolf asked carefully.
“Since he obtained my inheritance, he can have my Ji Du Saber.”
Emperor Bo Xun said casually.
He did not hesitate to give this Emperor weapon that had fought alongside him for many years to someone else!
“Senior, can you leave Avici at any moment?”
Suddenly, the Martial Dao Prime Body asked.
“Of course.”
Emperor Bo Xun said indifferently, “Tens of thousands of years ago, when the Hell Suppression Tripod disappeared from this place, these Lesser Hells could no longer trap me.”
“Then why did you stay here for tens of thousands of years, senior?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked again.
With his back facing the Martial Dao Prime Body, Emperor Bo Xun did not reply. However, the black qi in his eyes surged once more and lingered for a moment before disappearing.
Although the Martial Dao Prime Body did not see the change in Emperor Bo Xun, he felt a vague sense of trepidation.
He did not continue harping on this question and changed the topic. “Senior, what were you referring to by Lesser Hells earlier on? Does it have anything to do with the 16 diagrams you drew?”
“You’re smart.”
Emperor Bo Xun chuckled. “Avici can be divided into Greater Avici and the 16 Lesser Hells. The space we’re in is one of the 16 Lesser Hells!”
“All these years, I’ve traveled through these 16 Hells before I managed to draw the 16 Hell Diagrams.”
Lesser and Greater Hells!
The Martial Dao Prime Body’s heart skipped a beat and he asked instinctively, “In other words, our current location is not the true core of Avici?”
“That’s right.”
Emperor Bo Xun nodded and said, “Greater Avici was created from the body of the Infinite Great Emperor in the past. The 16 Lesser Hells around it are all in Tie Wei Mountain.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body was secretly alarmed.
The two Hells they passed through were already sinister and terrifying enough with many ferocious living beings. However, they had yet to touch the core of Avici!
Emperor Bo Xun continued, “Even I won’t be able to escape Greater Avici! That’s the true Infinite Hell and the most terrifying existence in the world!”
Even an expert like Emperor Bo Xun could not escape!
Back then, more than 20 Emperor experts surrounded Emperor Bo Xun and sent him to Avici, thinking that they could prevent future troubles.
However, he did not expect Avici to be divided into different levels.
16 Lesser Hells were built around Greater Avici and Emperor Bo Xun fell into one of the Lesser Hells, surviving till now!
Even the 20-odd Emperors of the past did not know of such a secret.
Who would know such a secret unless they had entered Avici?
Back then, with the Hell Suppression Tripod suppressing Avici, how many living beings that entered this place could leave alive even if they were only trapped in a Lesser Hell?
The Martial Dao Prime Body felt relieved as well.
Thankfully, their reckless barging did not end up in Greater Avici.
Otherwise, they would truly be doomed!
