Chapter 1452: Eighteenth Level of Hell

“Eighteenth Level of Hell!”

Jiang Yi’s face changed drastically. Fortunately, as he had his mask on, no one could see that change. Furthermore, Qi Qingchen and Di Ling’er’s faces had changed as well. As Jiang Yi was standing behind Di Ling’er and with Yi Buhui only caring about Qi Qingchen, Yi Buhui did not bother looking at Jiang Yi at all.

Jiang Yi swallowed some saliva, not daring to utter a single sound, afraid that he would attract Yi Buhui’s attention. He waited for Yi Buhui to lead the way down the stone steps before he turned and closed his eyes, taking deep breaths. Jiang Yi then steadily followed the others down.

The stone steps were rather dimly lit. Although a luminous pearl was placed in every hundredth step—as it emitted an orange-yellow light, it made the entire place feel even more ominous. The stone steps spiraled downwards continuously, and there seemed to be no end to them.

The four progressed at a steady pace downwards. After they reached the five thousandth step, a huge stone hall appeared. Three corridors were leading from that stone hall. Two of them stretched far away as one continued to snake downwards.

“Qingchen, Young Mistress Ling’er, be careful! The gravity on the first level is a hundred times that of outside!”

Before they entered the stone hall, Yi Buhui stopped and explained to everyone. Qi Qingchen shrugged as she took a step into the stone hall while Di Ling’er mentally prepared herself and entered as well, feeling just fine. However, when Jiang Yi stepped into it, he immediately felt a weight on him as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

The gravity on the first level is a hundred-fold that of the norm; that meant that someone imprisoned on this level has to endure this hundred-fold gravity day and night? Then how terrifying is the gravity on the eighteenth level?

Jiang Yi’s eyes squinted as his hands started to shake. Fortunately, Yi Buhui had already brought Qi Qingchen and Di Ling’er downwards and was not bothered with him. Jiang Yi also discovered two powerful divine senses sweeping over. However, once the owners found out it was Yi Buhui, they immediately retracted their divine senses.

Jiang Yi quickly followed behind. Magically, once they walked out of the stone hall and continued down the stone steps, the gravity vanished. The gravity seemed to be present at each level only, and not on the stone steps.

As expected…!

When they reached the second level, the gravity reappeared. This time, it was two hundred-fold the norm. Although this amount of gravity still did not affect Jiang Yi and company that badly—if they stayed here long enough, they would soon start to feel uncomfortable as well. Jiang Yi’s heart grew heavier and more painful, and he almost couldn’t bear to continue the journey downwards.

Third level, three-hundred-fold gravity!

Fourth level, four-hundred-fold!

“Be careful!”

When they reached the fifth level, Yi Buhui suddenly stopped and said, “This level’s gravity is more than usual; it is a thousand-fold that of the norm!”

A thousand-fold!

Jiang Yi quivered. He could no longer imagine how terrifying the gravity on the eighteenth floor was. His face also grew gradually pale. Qi Qingchen noticed that there was something amiss with Jiang Yi as she silently sent a voice transmission: “Jiang Yi, are you alright?”

Jiang Yi did not reply and only glanced over at Qi Qingchen, signaling that he was alright. As he was still rather weak, he did not dare to send voice transmissions freely, afraid that Yi Buhui would detect them. The group continued their way down. The fifth level was a thousand-fold, the sixth a thousand-one-hundred-fold, the seventh a thousand-two-hundred-fold, and so on and so forth.

When they reached the tenth level, the gravity became two-thousand-fold the normal. As Jiang Yi entered the stone hall of the tenth level, his body was already bending slightly, making it hard for him to walk. Qi Qingchen and the rest, however, had not encountered any problems yet.

“Eh?”

Yi Buhui finally realized that Jiang Yi was facing some difficulties. He looked at Jiang Yi curiously as he asked, “Can this lad still make it? If not, you can wait on the stone steps!”

Qi Qingchen and Di Ling’er had noticed this as well. Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Wherever young mistress goes, I will follow!”

“Then, let’s go!”

Yi Buhui smiled faintly and didn’t say anything more. He quickened his pace as everyone swiftly proceeded down the stone steps. As they continued their way down and reached the fifteenth level, the gravity became even stronger: three-thousand-fold the normal!

“Can this lad still proceed?”

Yi Buhui stopped purposefully inside the next stone hall as Jiang Yi said, “There is nothing men cannot do!”

“Pfff…”

Qi Qingchen and Di Ling’er sniggered at once while Di Ling’er also blushed slightly. Yi Buhui grinned as he said, “Alright then, let’s continue walking!”

Yi Buhui suddenly increased his pace as he sped downward, with the rest keeping up with him. When they reached the sixteenth level, Yi Buhui did not say anything and immediately rushed into the next stone hall, with Jiang Yi and the other two close behind.

Yet!

This level’s gravity was not three-thousand-one-hundred-fold but was at least four-thousand-fold. Jiang Yi’s legs were about to buckle. However, at this moment, he immediately activated his Power of Heaven and Earth; and his body instantly grew a hundred times stronger. His bent legs immediately straightened as he easily stood inside the stone hall without any difficulty.

“Eh?”

Yi Buhui’s eyes revealed his astonishment. Qi Qingchen and Di Ling’er had felt that the gravity here was too much for Jiang Yi and had instantly looked towards him. However, they did not expect Jiang Yi’s physical body to become so strong in an instant. They all could feel a strange aura emitting from Jiang Yi’s body; it was obvious he had become much stronger in just a few moments.

Most importantly, no one had noticed Jiang Yi consuming any elixirs; how could his body have become so strong in that case? Yi Buhui, Qi Qingchen, and Di Ling’er all looked at Jiang Yi as—with his Silver Demon Mask on—Jiang Yi looked exceptionally strange and peculiar.

At this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly became very mysterious. It appeared as if he was an absolute formidable martial artist all along, but he had been concealing his strength previously.

“Let’s go!”

Yi Buhui didn’t feel comfortable to probe further as he brought the group and continued their way down. With the gravity on the fifteenth level being so horrifying, the gravity on the seventeenth level reached five-thousand-fold. Jiang Yi closed his eyes as he did not dare to imagine: would the gravity on the eighteenth level reach six or seven-thousand-fold?

At this point, even Yi Buhui’s facial expression had darkened while Qi Qingchen and Di Ling’er were also looking slightly sad and mournful. The gravity on the seventeenth level was already five-thousand-fold the norm; one might even have difficulties breathing here, right? Walking was also becoming very difficult. One couldn’t possibly constantly circulate heavenly powers to resist gravity, right? Wouldn’t that tire one to death?

Mother!

Jiang Yi was pining for Yi Piaopiao. Although he didn’t feel any gravity on the stone steps, he felt as if his steps were becoming heavier. His heart also started to beat faster. At this moment, he felt as if he was going to suffocate.

At last!

As the group stepped onto the eighteenth level, everyone’s bodies all weighed down a little. Even Di Ling’er—who reached the Demon-Killing Battle God Realm—was slightly bent over, her legs quivering. Although Jiang Yi’s physical body had been boosted a hundred-fold and that he was more or less at the peak-stage God King level, his back was still bent over. His eyes started to become a little bloodshot as his lips started to slur, and he staggered as he walked.

The eighteenth level’s gravity was actually ten-thousand-fold.

Yi Buhui and Di Ling’er’s footsteps were greatly impeded. However, Qi Qingchen was still not affected the slightest. The way forward forked into two, and it was obvious they were at the lowest level now. Qi Qingchen looked at the two dimly lit corridors ahead as she asked, “Which one leads to Yi Piaopiao?”

“This side!”

Yi Buhui looked at the corridor on the left-hand side as he stepped forward heavily, leading the pack. The corridor was very long; they walked for almost ten thousand feet before another door could be seen. An elder in golden armor was sitting cross-legged in front of the door. Seeing the group coming close, the elder glanced over and said coldly, “Seventh Young Master, the Clan Head has ordered that no one is to pay a visit to Young Mistress Piaopiao!”

“I know!”

Yi Buhui nodded as he said. His hand stretched forward as he showed his command token and said, “Not even with this?”
