Chapter 1159: The Sanguine Hell (1/2)

Mount Tai was the mountain between two realms, but this one lay in ruins!

As slow as Lu Yun might be, even he knew where he was now.

Hell!

What lay beyond Mount Tai was another hell, one similar to the Hadal Hell.

Up until now, he’d only known that there was the Hadal Hell in the world. Though he’d inferred from the name “Great Peak of the Five Hells” that there were five total hells in the world, he hadn’t been able to determine where the other four were or what kind of existence they entailed.

A second had just abruptly appeared in front of him, having turned into a pestilence for the world of immortals.

“This is indeed the cosmos of the world of immortals… The unknown hell lies beyond this mountain!” Lu Yun’s projected image took a deep breath as he set foot on empty air, striding toward this second hell and crossing beyond the mountain.

A barren, desolate land the color of blood entered his field of vision. Piles of stark white bones littered the landscape, painting a macabre and eerie sight. As he walked the crimson land and took in its atmosphere, gravity weighed down his heart.

He could feel a distinct bleak sorrow, a mournful keen from this hell.

It was dead.

Contrary to the Hadal Hell that’d been refined by the Tome of Life and Death and connected to his kingdom of hell, this unknown hell had been destroyed by an unknown assailant at the roots. The white bones on the ground were the prisoners that’d once been kept here.

This was no longer the world of immortals, and Lu Yun still had no intention of bringing his actual body here. Even if his primary body came and operated the death arts to the maximum, he would still die here.

When She Nong had learned that Tianqi was the god of Mount Tai, he’d said that the god of Mount Tai was dead.

While Lu Yun didn’t know how many gods of Mount Tai or Mount Tais there were in the world, the one in charge of this hell had undoubtedly died with it.

Lu Yun looked down and tried to use the Spectral Eye to glean some information from the bones, but someone had wiped away all information within them a long time ago. These bones were just chunks of stubborn rocks.

“The yin spirits don’t come from this dead hell, but from beneath the mountain.” Lu Yun turned back to look at the landmass hewn into two.

There was another terrifying world beneath the mountain, the true source of all the yin spirits in his world. This hell was just fertilizer for that world.

Lu Yun felt a headache set in from confusion.

It was certainly someone from the third realm behind the fissure in space, but this hell and the world beneath Mount Tai were beyond the reach of even heavyweights from the fourth realm.

What the heck is going on here?

It wasn’t until now that he realized there’d been some sort of connection to the fourth realm all along, and it’d been right there in front of him. He’d been too minuscule before, unable to see the bigger picture even though it was placed right under his nose. He could only see the parts that he could comprehend.

If this bloody world was the same as the Hadal Hell, then the world beneath Mount Tai was very likely a similar kind of hell.
