Chapter 228: All I can say is sorry
The third layer of hell, the iron tree hell, there is no palace, no guards, only a towering giant tree, an iron tree made of fine iron, the branches are vertical and horizontal, and each small branch is cast with sharp blades, the cold light is flickering, the yin qi is pressing, and there is a soul hanging on each sharp blade, all of them are as thin as firewood, and their faces are expressionless, as if they have been hanging here for countless years, they have forgotten the pain, and they don't know how many more years they have to hang here, so they gave up the struggle, no resistance, no hope, and a suffocating and depressing atmosphere permeated the entire Iron Tree Hell, making people breathless。
"It is said that the Iron Tree Hell imprisons those who have been separated from each other during their lifetime, and who instigate the discord between father and son, brother, sister, and husband, and wife, must be stabbed from the back with a sharp blade and hung on the Iron Tree, and after this step of punishment, they will enter the Mirror Hell to reveal their crimes in the yang world, and then go to the hell where they should be to continue to be punished. Chu Jiang explained that the Guardian Ghost King of the Sun Moon Holy Sect was originally based on the Ten Kings of Hell, so Chu Jiang knew the most about the rumors of hell.
Ling Han only heard that there were eighteen layers of hell, but he didn't know that there was such a subtle difference, after listening to Chu Jiang's explanation, looking at these expressionless resentful spirits, Ling Han smiled noncommittally: "If there is this hell in the world that promotes good and punishes evil, then how dare people in the world do evil, and why bother to find the Tao, the pursuit of immortality and immortality, as long as you do more good deeds, you can naturally ascend to the immortal realm, and why bother the sun and the moon to keep retreating and punishing, these are just Taos, It's just a means used by the two Buddhas to deceive people's minds, but these souls hanging here, I'm afraid it won't be that simple!"
After Xiaohong tasted the sweetness in the second layer of hell, she became extremely excited, as soon as she entered the Iron Tree Hell, she searched around, not to mention Ling Han's instructions, and finally swept along the branches of the iron tree to the top of the iron tree, just halfway through, only to hear a terrible roar, those souls hanging on the iron tree stretched out their claws and grabbed Xiao Hong, the sound of ghosts crying in the sky was extremely fierce, as if the resentment that had accumulated for thousands of years was finally vented at this moment, these souls compared to the guards of the Hades Temple, although the means of attack were single, but the long-suppressed resentment and anger stimulated their greatest potential, and the power was a little more powerful than those Hades warriors。
However, these are completely unscrupulous for Xiaohong, it did not even spray purple flames, but took a big mouth, swallowing these resentful souls directly into the stomach, letting them cry to the sky and grab the ground, open their teeth and claws, as soon as they arrived in Xiaohong's stomach, there was no more sound, Ling Han was a little worried, these souls were extremely evil in their bodies, Xiaohong devoured them so unscrupulously, it was very likely that like him, the evil qi would enter the body, causing the demons to backlash, and at that time, no one would be able to restrain it, and become a gluttonous evil beast and fierce spirit, so Ling Han hurriedly transmitted the message to Xiaohong, so that it bypassed these souls and went directly to the top of the iron tree, It would be good to find the Yama King here, but Xiaohong turned a deaf ear and still chased after these souls that kept coming, and he was very busy, which made Ling Han's worry a little worse.
"Master don't worry, these souls seem to be vicious, in fact, they are no different from our physique, but they are just the soul body of the body and soul that is damaged, leaving only a trace of the soul of the remnant soul, they are willing to be driven by others, and it is also for the purpose of cultivating and advancing, the real master here should also know the high-level exercises such as the Dafa of the Divine Guardian and the Ghost, and teach them some fur only, the fire unicorn is an ancient divine beast, with a special physique, and it is born to be the nemesis of these demonic things, and it will never be eroded by the evil spirits, and these souls contain more life essence, which is much more powerful than the resentful spirits we encountered before, The amount of life essence is far from being comparable to those resentful spirits, so these souls are excellent tonic for the fire qilin, even if they swallow more elixir fairy grass, it is far from it, so it is so excited, although the master allows it to swallow it, maybe it is another excellent opportunity to break through. Zhong Li said that he was connected to Ling Han's heart, and he could naturally sense the worry in Ling Han's heart, so he comforted him.
"I see, then I'm much more relieved, since these souls are better than resentful spirits, and you can't let Xiaohong eat alone, why don't you come out and devour some, just to consolidate your cultivation." Ling Han's heart was relieved, his heart moved, and he released Zhong Li, Chu Jiang and Talasky, the three of them looked overjoyed, and after thanking Ling Han, they went their own way to chase some of the fish that slipped through the net behind Xiaohong.
Of course, the three of them can't be compared with Xiaohong, Xiaohong is a nonsense eater, and those who come do not refuse, and they can only be cautious, swallowing and chewing slowly, if the number of souls is too much, they will not be able to deal with it, but there is a danger of being devoured, the strength of these souls is almost equivalent to the strength of the first layer of the cultivation of the Dafa of the Guardian Spirit, compared to those unconscious resentful spirits, these souls are much more dangerous, Zhong Liluo can devour five souls at the same time, and ordinary souls will avoid him from afar, and Chu Jiang can devour three souls, because his Yuan Shen has not been damaged in the slightest, so even if he falls into the siege of souls, he can get out calmly, and Talaski is very different, any soul jumping out is enough for him, once he falls into the siege, he will almost definitely die, fortunately, he has lived long enough, he has extremely rich combat experience, and the means of survival are also full of tricks, he followed closely behind Zhong Li, and quietly caught the souls around Zhong Liqi, and then hid, after the devouring was completed, and then quietly came out to find the next target, Zhong Liqi was loyal to Ling Han, and he had no opinion on Talaski's behavior, so he also devoured a lot of souls, his body was solid, and he looked like Chu Jiang, Zhong Li's madness is no different, and his strength is growing rapidly.
Ling Han didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, but he had been stuck in the Shidan period for too long, and the accumulation of Yuan Power in his body had reached the limit, and a qualitative change had to occur before he could continue to cultivate, but once he broke through, the suppressed bloody evil qi in his body would definitely take advantage of the momentum and control his mind, so Ling Han couldn't take risks, he could only watch them slowly rise while devouring their souls.
"Why should Childe be annoyed, the improvement of the strength of Xiaohong and several ghost kings, isn't it the growth of Childe's own strength? As long as they advance to a certain level, it will definitely be of great help to Childe, if Xiaohong can really take advantage of this opportunity to advance again, I am afraid that there are few people in the entire demon world who can compete with it head-on, Childe has Xiaohong in hand, and it is not easy to dominate the Cloud Desolate Demon Realm. Leng Yan, who had been standing beside Ling Han, seemed to be able to sense Ling Han's loss, and comforted softly.
"Yes, I can naturally figure out these truths, but when I stepped into the cultivation realm, I was used to seizing all the time to cultivate, and I didn't miss any opportunity to break through, but now that my cultivation has been stagnant for a long time, I don't dare to break through, but I am a little unaccustomed to it, watching them advance in cultivation, I will inevitably have some envy in my heart, which makes you smile. Ling Han said with a smile, the two looked at each other and smiled, the loss in their hearts had already disappeared.
When the last soul on the towering iron tree that was more than 100 feet tall was also devoured by Talaski, Xiaohong finally took Ling Han to the top of the iron tree, originally Xiaohong was a little dissatisfied with the three Zhongli mad who suddenly appeared and grabbed food with it, and let out a warning whimper, but when it found that there was a ghost king sitting on the top of the iron tree who was trembling with fear, the previous unhappiness was swept away, and it was replaced by a strong excitement, a ghost king's life essence is far less than all the souls on the entire iron tree combined, can Xiaohong not be excitedAnd Zhong Li, Talasky and Chu Jiang could only look at it, they couldn't eat such a big meal, and they didn't have a chance to eat it, the three of them consciously returned to Ling Han's side, looking at the terrified eyes and trembling soul body of the unlucky Emperor Song.
"Who are you 、、、 you, who are you sacred? Why are you making a fuss about hell, and devouring the tens of thousands of souls who are serving sentences on the iron tree, they are all like six reincarnations, reincarnated and reborn, this is the king, how to explain it!" Emperor Song's purple and gold crown had already been crooked, and he said intermittently, Xiaohong's scarlet tongue had already been attached to his protective light shield, and crystal saliva slowly flowed down the light shield, scaring Emperor Song's soul not to possess his body.
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you tell me where the entrance to the fourth hell is, we will give an explanation to King Yama for you, as for the souls on this iron tree, I will help them get rid as soon as possible, I'm afraid they won't be able to thank me too late, there is nothing to resent. Ling Han looked at Emperor Song in the light mask and said coldly.
"Okay, good, good, good、、, the entrance to the next layer of hell is on top of this iron tree, follow the main trunk of the iron tree all the way down, you can reach it, now what you want, I have told you, I have no grievances with you, you can't hurt my life, it took me nearly five thousand years to cultivate to the unity of the divine soul, and I can break through immediately, please spare my life for the sake of my thousands of years of cultivation, no matter what conditions you put forward, I will agree to you. "Emperor Song has long since lost the majesty of the King of Hell at this moment, and only has a strong desire to survive left.
"Actually, this matter is really not something I can decide, since you all believe in reincarnation, continue to cultivate in the next life, I can only say sorry in this life. Ling Han said even more helplessly.
Chapter 229: This gap is also too big
The sixth layer of hell, the Bronze Pillar Hell.
"Xiaohong, can you give me a face, people are already very cooperative, why don't you let others live, when will you advance if you eat seastuffs like this, it is not easy for others to cultivate for thousands of years. Hey, Xiaohong、、、 you, it's too unkind, I promised others、、、"
The ninth layer of hell, the oil pot hell.
"Brother, I'm really embarrassed about this, don't look at me like this, it's really not that I'm going back on my word, it's really this guy who is too greedy, Xiaohong、、、 when will you be able to advance for the third time, devouring so many souls, why hasn't there been any change at all." ”
、、、、、、
The eighteenth layer of hell, the hell of the knife saw. According to Ling Han's speculation, the Yama King of these eighteen layers of hell will be more powerful than the other, but this is not the case, the strength of the ghost king of each layer of hell is almost the same, there is no difference at all in front of Xiaohong, an ancient divine beast, because they do not have any power to fight back, Ling Han came directly to the legendary eighteenth layer of hell without hindrance, all the souls who are beaten into the eighteenth layer of hell will never be reborn, they will have to bear the harshest punishment, and they will never be liberated, but in Ling Han's opinion, there is no difference between this and other hells, and the real Yama King is also so vulnerable。
"It's true that this is the eighteenth layer of hell, but I really don't know what the ghost valley medicine god is, I beg my predecessors to spare my life, I really don't have half a lie. A middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold crown and a dark black python robe was shivering under Xiao Hong's bloody mouth.
"Since it is claimed to be the eighteenth layer of hell, how can you be so vulnerable, where do you come from? Why do you pretend to be the ghost king of hell? Who is your real master? You had better get all this from the truth, otherwise you will become the same thing as your subordinates, and you will become the belly of my divine beast. Ling Han asked sharply, he thought that when he reached the eighteenth layer of hell, he would definitely be able to meet the legendary god of medicine, Li Yunjing, but after arriving here, he found that there was nothing, and the huge disappointment made his voice very stern and his expression became very cold.
"The little one was originally an aphar elder of the Sun and Moon Holy Sect of the Demon Realm, and he followed the Holy Lord of the Mixed Yuan Zi to the Cloud Desolate Righteous Path Cultivation Realm, but as soon as he walked out of the misty swamp, he was violently attacked by the Heavenly Sword Sect and many monks of the Leiyin Temple, his body was damaged, and the Yuan Shen was severely damaged, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul, I thought that the soul would fly away, and it would be annihilated, but I didn't expect the Holy Lord to make a move, and we were included in a strange space, temporarily saving a wisp of remnant soul, and finally the Holy Lord sent us here, teaching us the exercises of condensing the divine soul and the tasks that should be undertaken, and then it never appeared again, in a blink of an eye, three thousand years have passed, and the small one is just ordered to guard here, I don't know anything about the rest!" Seeing that Ling Han's expression was wrong, the python-robed man hurriedly said, not daring to hide it at all.
"Since you are a disciple of the Sun and Moon Holy Sect, and you have followed Mixed Yuanzi, how can you not know that Mixed Yuanzi has a great friendship with Li Yunjing, how can you say that you have never known any Ghost Valley Medicine God?" Ling Han asked rhetorically, he didn't expect that these souls were all from the Cloud Desolate Demon Realm, and they were also disciples of the Sun and Moon Holy Sect, it seemed that this hell was very likely to be arranged by Mixed Yuanzi, but he didn't expect that he would break into Mixed Yuanzi's territory again, and when he thought of that thin old man, Ling Han felt like a world away.
"It turns out that the ghost valley medical god mentioned by the predecessors is Li Yunjing's predecessors, Mr. Li Yunjing did not have this title back then, the world respectfully called him the holy hand of the wonderful doctor, his old man did have a great friendship with the holy lord, and he also personally rescued the disciples in the sect, but these are all three thousand years ago, and now his old man's fairy trail, the little one really doesn't know!" The man in the python robe first had a look of sudden realization, and then showed a helpless wry smile. In fact, this ghost valley medical god was just made up by people who did good things in the demon world, and in the era when he lived, Li Yunjing didn't have this nickname at all.
Disappointment is like a sea of mountains and seas, Ling Han has always thought that this hell is arranged here by Li Yunjing, to avoid outsiders disturbing or enemies seeking revenge, he was the mortal enemy of the Heavenly Sword Sect at that time, and the Heaven Breaking Sword God will never let him go, so it makes sense for him to arrange all this, he firmly believes that as long as he hits the eighteenth layer of hell, he will definitely be able to find Li Yunjing, but now it seems that this place is actually built by Mixed Yuanzi, it may be another back road left by Mixed Yuanzi for himself, he confronts the Heavenly Dao with the strength of one person, and naturally has to leave a few more back roads for himself, otherwise the endless pursuit of the righteous path monks will waste his precious cultivation time, In this way, it seems that there is no trace of the ghost valley divine doctor in this Netherworld Valley at all, and it is a huge mistake to enter this Netherworld Valley by yourself.
Thinking of this, Ling Han suddenly fell into deep self-blame, for this faint hope, the whereabouts of the Golden Retriever Lion King are still unknown, Zi Ling'er is also asleep, Ling Han has lost the most important person around him, and in the end it is still empty, his longevity is about to run out, this is very likely to be the place where he is buried, thinking of this, Ling Han frowned painfully, Leng Yan walked with him all the way, how could he not know what he was thinking, pulled his hand tightly, and said very guiltily:" I'm sorry, Childe, it was the news error of the Hunter Alliance that caused such a big loss to Childe, and it is very likely to delay Childe's life, Leng Yan is willing to accept any requirements and conditions of Childe on behalf of the Hunter Alliance, as long as Childe proposes it, the 50,000 bounty hunters of the Demon World will definitely do their best to do it. ”
"No, no, no, I can't blame you for this, this may really be fate, God deliberately made a joke with me, in fact, I have already understood the injustice of heaven, even if I really exhaust my longevity and my soul is scattered, I am only Ling Han alone, so what are I afraid of? But now the Golden Retriever Lion King is still in the mysterious wilderness, life and death are uncertain, Ling'er is unconscious, and there is no consciousness, as well as the white-eyed Eagle King and Feng Sanniang, I am afraid that they have also fallen into the hands of the Taoist Buddha, and the body of the ancient predecessors is still in the Demon Suppression Tower, all of this is my reason, they all became like this because of me, and they perished like this, I am really unwilling, unwilling. Ling Han said bitterly, and drops of scarlet essence blood slowly fell from his clenched fists, as if his incomparably tough but torn Dao heart was dripping blood.
"Childe 、、、" Leng Yan called softly, but she couldn't say anything, she was here for a promise, but at this moment she suddenly found that her fate was closely linked to this delicate but resolute young man, at this moment Ling Han's heartache and disappointment she felt the same, but she was also at a loss, except for being able to hold Ling Han's cold left hand tightly, she couldn't do anything.
"The predecessors of the former 、、、、、、 help、、、 I really said everything, and I didn't hide anything、、、 ah、、、" Just when Ling Han and Leng Yan were immersed in disappointment, suddenly there was a sharp cry for help from a man in a python robe, Ling Han turned around and saw that the last ghost king was also devoured by Xiaohong mercilessly, Xiaohong, who had always been lazy, did not even let go of a trace of life essence this time, such a performance greatly exceeded Ling Han's expectations, it didn't bother to pay attention to those heavenly treasures placed at its feet before, but was very interested in Ling Han's grilled fish, and Ling Han's three soul slaves have always been at peace with it, obviously they have no interest in them, otherwise Ling Han would not dare to put them in the Qiankun Ring at the same time, but since Xiaohong's second evolution, There seemed to be something in his body that was waking up quickly, making it have an urgent desire for cultivation advancement, Ling Han's heart moved, and he quickly took back the three Zhong Li, who were floating beside him and were a little frightened, from the Qiankun Ring, in case the little red beast became too big and swallowed them together.
"Maybe all this is the will of God, Mixed Yuanzi also arranged a hell for me, and being able to be buried in the hell he laid can be regarded as having a beginning and an end, you take Xiaohong out of here, I'm a little tired." Ling Han said a little dejectedly, his expression became extremely tired, and after the most glimmer of hope was shattered, he was really a little desperate.
As if she hadn't heard it, Leng Yan pulled Ling Han's arm and said loudly: "Childe, look, Xiaohong、、、 Xiaohong seems to be evolving again." Ling Han followed the prestige, and sure enough, after Xiao Hong devoured the soul of the middle-aged man, his body was once again completely wrapped in that extremely rich red light, and at the same time, a dull sound of heavenly thunder sounded in the void darkness, and gray clouds of calamity were densely covered above Xiao Hong's head, which were rapidly stacking and depositing.
"After devouring so many souls, it's finally a little progressive, this Ancient Rui Beast is really a blessing to the sky, but this good luck belongs to it, and it has nothing to do with me. Ling Han said with some bitterness, he was not jealous of Xiaohong's good luck, but at this moment, the diametrically opposite fate between a man and a beast made him feel a little like this, if Xiaohong heard it, I am afraid that he would have to look like Ling Han's disdainful eyes, but at this moment it didn't care about anything else at all, but concentrated on the upcoming Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, which was the only way for it to grow.
Gradually, the rumbling sound became louder and louder, and the whole hell seemed to be starting to tremble, this time the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was several times stronger than the last two times, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation increased by geometric multiples, this time the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was equivalent to about eight times that of the first Heavenly Tribulation, Leng Yan pulled Ling Han away from it, so as not to be attacked by the aftermath of the Heavenly Thunder, and Xiaohong stood proudly in the red light, bursting out with extremely bright light, like a rising sun, radiant, its eyes were clear and firm, so that Ling Han, who was already almost desperate, was shocked, Xiaohong was just a young beast, he could face the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation so firmly, and he had not yet reached the last moment, but he was ready to give up, compared to Xiaohong, not only luck, but even the gap in his heart was too big, Ling Han's desperate state of mind seemed to be slowly recovering, and there was a bright light flashing in his eyes again, and soon three silver lightning bolts pierced through the clouds, whistling, and the entire hell began to tremble violently.
