Chapter 0471: The Deepest Parts of Hell

“Another incident in the Death Swamp?!” Villey was shocked upon hearing Bier’s report and quickly asked, “What happened?!” She had a bad feeling about it.
“The Death Swamp, just like the Death City of Linyun, is now infested with a large number of Mist Demons!” Bier said.
“The Death Swamp, a huge number of Mist Demons!” Villey stood up abruptly. Bier’s answer confirmed her earlier fears—this was exactly what she was most worried about.
Huang Long frowned. He had just left the Death Swamp, and yet Mist Demons had appeared there, as if everything was under someone else’s control.
What exactly did this person want?! To disrupt the Death Spirit Realm?
Huang Long sensed that it couldn’t be as simple as just disrupting the Death Spirit Realm.
“Lord Realm King, the most important thing now is to repair the Spirit Realm Array. If resentment leaks out and is exploited by these Mist Demons, the Death Spirit Realm will be in grave danger,” Bier said, trembling at the thought of the terrible consequences.
Villey frowned tightly. Of course, she was aware of this as well.
But the legendary Rebirth Stone wasn’t something that could be found easily.
At that moment, Huang Long mused, “The Rebirth Stone… let’s go look for it.”
“Hmm,” Villey looked at Huang Long. It was good that he wanted to search for the Rebirth Stone, but the situation with the Spirit Realm Array was urgent, and they couldn’t wait too long.
“We’ll return as soon as we find the Rebirth Stone,” Huang Long said. “If we can’t find it, we’ll still make it back within ten years.”
“Alright,” Villey finally agreed reluctantly.
Right now, she couldn’t split her attention to go to Hell. With so many Mist Demons in the Death Spirit Realm, as its king, she had to stay there.
“Then let’s leave now!” Huang Long stood up and bid farewell to Villey and Bier along with Brade, Bog, and the Huang family members.
Villey and Bier stood up to see Huang Long and the others leave the Death City of Linyun. When they reached above the city, Villey was about to eliminate the Mist Demons to let them go, but Huang Long raised his hand, saying it wasn’t necessary, and instead ordered Bog and the others to handle it.
Huang Long realized that these Mist Demons were different from the mutated ones inside Huang Yi’s body. Although there were many of them, they were much easier to eliminate. With Bog and his twenty-four men forming a formation, dealing with them wouldn’t be a problem.
After leaving the Death City of Linyun, Huang Long and the others headed toward Hell.
Two years later, Huang Long and his group crossed the Colin Continent and arrived in Hell.

Purgatory, in the eyes of god-tier beings from hell, is equivalent to the Death Spirit Realm. However, in some aspects, it is the exact opposite of the Death Spirit Realm. For example, god-tier beings can freely enter and exit the Death Spirit Realm, but those who enter Purgatory may easily be surrounded and killed by prison beasts.

“Haha, these prison beasts belong to me! No one can take them from me!” Not long after Huang Long and the others entered Purgatory, they encountered a group of scorpion-shaped prison beasts—hundreds of them, with lower god-level strength. Upon seeing them, Huang Liang eagerly said this, then drew out his immortal sword and charged at the scorpion beasts.

The scorpion beasts, seeing a human god-tier being, also rushed at Huang Liang, waving their scorpion tails frantically.

“That kid!” Zhao Rong shook her head at Huang Liang’s behavior.

Although everyone was already a god-tier being, in Zhao Rong’s eyes, Huang Liang and the others were still children. However, since the scorpion beasts only had lower god-level strength and posed little threat to Huang Liang, she didn’t stop them or ask Bogu and the others to help.

After a while, Huang Liang killed all the scorpion beasts and returned triumphantly.

“Liang, you need to change your attitude!” But as soon as Huang Liang returned, Zhao Rong began to reprimand him, followed by a series of sharp words.

Huang Liang, who had been standing tall with his head held high, gradually lowered his head like a sunflower bowing its face, looking at Huang Long for help.

Huang Long ignored him with a smile.

Purgatory, like the Ancient Forest of the Netherworld, was vast and boundless. But unlike the Ancient Forest, Purgatory consisted mainly of lakes and dry land. These lakes were usually small, with reddish-brown water, while the ground was cracked, with fissures visible everywhere—some even as large as rift valleys, quite alarming to behold.

On this cracked land, some plants could be seen occasionally, but they were usually bare, without leaves, with only dry branches stretching upward into the sky.

In many places, thin wisps of smoke could be seen—hot air escaping from the cracked ground.

As they moved forward, it grew increasingly hot.

“Second brother, this Purgatory isn’t fun at all. It’s so hot—like an oven!” A few days later, Huang Liang, who had been clamoring to come to Purgatory before, began to complain bitterly.

“Haha, Third brother, didn’t you keep saying you wanted to come to Purgatory before? Why are you complaining now?!” Huang Yi laughed from the side.

“Well, who said I’m complaining? I just feel hot,” Huang Liang retorted.

“Yes, you just feel hot, oh!” Huang Yi raised his voice.

Everyone laughed, and Huang Liang’s face turned red.

At that moment, Huang Long smiled, waved his hands, and handed each person a celestial robe, saying, “These celestial robes are made from the Frost Silkworms. Wearing them will help you resist the oppressive heat of the Purgatory!”
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and quickly took the robes to put them on. Once worn, a chill spread throughout their bodies, bringing a sense of coolness and eliminating the earlier feeling of heat from the Purgatory.
“Second brother, this treasure really works! Hehe, you’re really thoughtful,” Huang Liang said with a smile.
Huang Long replied, “Stop flattery. Look, the younger ones are much more sensible than you.”
Upon hearing Huang Long’s words, the younger members of the Huang family became anxious and quickly denied it.
Thus, the group continued on in laughter and conversation. A few months later, they arrived at one of the main cities in the Purgatory. Initially, Huang Long didn’t plan to enter this city to avoid trouble, but Huang Liang, Huang Yi, and even Zhao Rong wanted to take a look. Since it wouldn’t take much time, he decided to lead them in.
Huang Long led them straight through the city gates of the Purgatory and walked along its streets, observing the prison beasts passing by.
Unlike the Ancient Primal Beasts, these prison beasts could walk upright. Apart from their appearance, which differed from humans, they were no different from ordinary beasts, somewhat similar to the primitive orcs in the Orc Empire of the Hengyuan Realm.
Of course, these prison beasts couldn’t see Huang Long and his group.
Huang Long used a secret technique to create hidden light around them, rendering them invisible.
“Second brother, this prison beast city seems pretty much like the cities in the Orc Empire of the Hengyuan Realm,” Huang Liang said after a while, looking at the surroundings of the city. He felt bored and disappointed. Aside from being much larger than the cities in the Orc Empire, it was pretty much the same.
Not only Huang Liang but also Huang Yi and the others showed signs of disappointment.
So, Huang Long and his group left the prison beast city.
Without further delay, they continued deeper into the Purgatory.
As they ventured deeper, more fissures appeared on the ground. The heat emanating from these fissures even contained strands of red fire. These flames were no weaker than those of higher gods, some reaching thousands of feet high, like molten lava erupting.
Huang Long and his group had to be cautious.
However, with the presence of two supreme warriors like Huang Long andBrad, they safely made their way to the deepest parts of the Purgatory.
The deepest parts of the Purgatory didn’t refer to a specific location at its center but rather, relative to the entire Purgatory, it was as vast as the core area of the Ancient Forest. In fact, the deepest parts alone were as large as half of the Colin Continent.

Since even the King of the Death Spirit Realm, Verily, did not know the exact location in Purgatory where the Rebirth Stone was born, after arriving at the deepest part of this Purgatory, they could only rely on Huang Long and the others to search for it themselves.
“Young master, the deepest part of this Purgatory is too vast; continuing to search like this won’t work!” said Bradd.
Huang Long nodded. He was well aware of this, but what other choice did they have? Moreover, in this deepest part of Purgatory, Huang Long did not dare to use his spiritual sense recklessly. A single or two supreme strong beast lords were not terrifying, but what if he accidentally provoked a group of such supreme strong beast lords to come? That would be troublesome.
And it wasn’t even the beast lords that were the real problem—the most troublesome ones were those supreme strong beast commanders at the ultimate perfection level!
Beasts in Purgatory that reached the ultimate perfection level became beast commanders.
Still, just to be safe, Huang Long had the members of the Huang family and Bogu enter the Group of Immortals Pavilion.
Half a month passed again.
Huang Long and Bradd were flying at low altitude in the deepest part of Purgatory when suddenly, a strong fluctuation of divine power came from ahead.
“Young master, there’s a beast lord fighting ahead,” said Bradd, sensing the intense divine power fluctuation and the scorching energy within it.
Due to living in Purgatory for years, these beast lords had cultivated divine power and tempered their bodies with the local energy of Purgatory, so Bradd immediately identified the fighters as beast lords.
Huang Long nodded. “Let’s go take a look.”
So, Huang Long and Bradd flew toward the direction of the fight. As they got closer, the divine power fluctuations grew stronger, causing spatial tremors and howls, with the ground constantly shaking and the rifts on the land expanding further.
If Huang Long and Bradd hadn’t been supreme strong warriors, they probably wouldn’t have been able to approach even a million miles away—just being a million miles away would have sent them flying due to the force of those divine power fluctuations.
“Hey, young master, look! It’s that guy from Tianhuan City!” When they arrived at the scene, Bradd saw that one of the fighters was the very beast lord who had led the beast army to attack Tianhuan City.
At that time, that beast lord had mistakenly thought that Huang Long and the others were sent by the ruler of Tianhuan City.
Huang Long nodded, also somewhat surprised, but remained silent and hid aside with Bradd.
Roar! Roar!
The two supreme strong beast commanders were locked in a fierce battle, focusing their minds on each other, so they didn’t notice Huang Long and Bradd’s arrival.
“Mackey, you wretch! Hand over my daughter right now!” Amid the fierce battle, the middle-aged man who led the beast army to attack Tianhuan City shouted angrily at his opponent.

“Hand over your daughter? Hehe, not impossible, but what about what I want?” the other party sneered.
