Wizards pursue the truth

The assessment of the five perilous locations, in terms of time, may have taken countless years.

In reality, things are fleeting.

Wang Ya passed the ordeal of the "Hell of Knives" in less than an hour.

The test of the Fiery Hell now is to gather its power into oneself and manifest the stone wall statue.

The spiritual power contained the many strange phenomena of the sea of ​​fire behind him.

He stood up, and with each breath, crimson flames seemed to emanate from him.

A pair of exquisite eyes, concealing a boundless power.

The 【Crimson Blazing Fire Incantation Array】is similar to the array diagram of the Hell of Knives, and it possesses the essential power of the Blazing Fire Hell.

The third hell, the Hell of Sighs, contains information Wang Ya gathered about the difficulties of the assessment and how to bear the burden.

Take a step forward and step out of the membrane space.

The deep yellow, scorching crater came into view, and the lava, like rocks, accumulated below, with black chains connecting it to the opposite bank.

It's easy to see that the challenge is to cross the dark chains to reach the other side.

Looking ahead, all that could be seen was a yellowish-black expanse stretching to the horizon, with only the ever-present, sighing lava below.

Wang Ya picked up a piece of gravel from the ground.

The prolonged high temperature made it feel scorching hot.

It was thrown into the lava below and merged into the magma without making a splash.

This time, he did not choose the path of plunging into the lava.

When the palm touched the black chains, the skin on the hand melted away instantly, the tissue fluid stuck together, and the bones seemed to become brittle and decayed in an instant.

Extremely terrifying.

The torment and suffering that living beings would endure if they climbed over the black chains is unimaginable.

Wang Ya gripped the black chains with both hands, his expressionless face.

Hook your legs around your lower body.

Begin the climb in the least strenuous way.

Meanwhile, the Hell Society's trial has reached its most crucial moment.

The Earth Wizard announces the new rules of Hell.

Below, many Hell Society wizards craned their necks in anticipation.

More wizards listened with varying expressions, clearly taking the new rules to heart.

This is something that will greatly benefit both myself and Hell.

This reinforces the impression that Hell will dominate the Pillars of Hell.

However, he felt no joy whatsoever.

Instead, I felt heavy-hearted and increasingly worried and concerned about that fluttering feeling.

After repeatedly recalling the events in his mind, he finally focused on the hellish place he had passed by.

Something must have happened that could have a significant impact on him.

His amber eyes swept over the gazes of the many wizards below.

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

It will be soon. We just need to announce the rules, and in half an hour at most, we will be able to go to the Hell of Knives to investigate.

He was determined to investigate the source and cause of his unease.

Was it caused by a person or an object?

If it's a person, a cold glint appears in his eyes; preferably someone who can listen to advice.

The entrance and exit of the Hell of Sighs.

There were far fewer wizards coming and going; they were all on their way to attend the trial assembly held at the Hell Society's outpost.

There are still many wizards burdened with debts, digging and gathering precious resources near the crater of the Sighing Hell.

It is also one of the seven major opportunities.

If you're lucky, you might be able to find second-tier resources, or even third-tier resources that would be of considerable value to a Grand Wizard of the Moonlit Sky.

The price they pay is the constant eruption of molten lava and black smoke, which suffocates living beings and directly extinguishes their life force—a truly ruthless act.

At this moment, many wizards, covering their mouths and noses, ran out in a dirty and disheveled state.

"What's going on? Why is the Sighing Volcano erupting? Is every tunnel about to erupt?"

"That was terrifying! Lava was gushing out! Luckily I ran fast, or I would have died inside."

"Falling into lava won't kill you, it'll just eliminate you; it's an illusory feeling."

"Damn it, that was a normal test. Who knows what's going on now? You go in and try it first, and I'll believe you."

One wizard, unable to contain his anger, cursed at the wizard who had just spoken.

The other wizards stood not far from the Sighing Volcano, gazing at the billowing black smoke.

Wang Ya was among them, but instead of staying in the safe zone to watch the excitement, his purpose was clear: to head towards the next dangerous place.

I have already passed through and possessed the Hell of Knives, the Hell of Blazing Fire, and the Hell of Sighs.

Next comes the Hell of the Mortal World, and finally, the Hell of Hungry Ghosts.

From the first hell to now, only a little over an hour has passed.

For those undergoing trials within Hell, time cannot be directly equated or measured.

The world changes, and perhaps within the assessment process, consciousness has existed for tens of thousands of years.

"Hell Society," Makarov cleared his throat. "These are the rules set by my Hell Society. Do any of you have any objections?"

Looking around, he saw no one who could meet his gaze.

Only one person remained, and that was a wizard from the Hell Society.

The wizard Sachi said excitedly, "Lord Makarov, you are the first person to reach the Pillars of Hell. Could you tell us some of the hidden knowledge of the power of hell, the key points to overcome the trials and tribulations?"

The Earth Core Wizard, Makarov, opened his mouth slightly, somewhat stunned, but instantly understood that this was the Sachi Wizard further building up his own momentum.

The fact that this person is now firmly established as the first in the Pillar of Hell means that the Hell Society will face fewer obstacles and pressures when extending its tentacles and influence to another safe zone occupied by various forces.

Then he considered the trembling he felt from the thought of walking through a hellish path. For a moment, Makarov hesitated and wavered.

Under the expectant gazes of the members of the Hell Society, especially the wizard Sachi, he finally spoke up and began to explain his understanding of the Pillars of Hell.

The source of this tremor is in the hell of knives.

Even if someone passes through the hell of knives, it only grants them one-fifth of the authority.

It could pose a threat or hidden danger to him, but not to an exaggerated degree.

Perhaps it was because his mastery of the power of hell was too refined that he felt a strange unease about the wizards who had also gained power.

There is a fundamental difference between one-fifth and three-fifths of the permission granted.

Even if a person can pass through the Hell of Knives in a short time, the subsequent Hell of Blazing Fire and Hell of Sighs are even more difficult. The Earth Core Wizard who has been through it knows clearly the torment involved.

call!

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

I'm starting to feel a bit anxious and uncertain.

It'll just take a little longer.

Then we can find the wizard who caused the tremor and get him to join the Hell Society.

The Earth Core Wizard never imagined that the other party would choose not to join.

As long as he's on the Pillar of Hell, there's nothing he can't do. If he doesn't want to be on the Pillar of Hell, then it's up to him.

With a slight smile playing on his lips, the Earth Core Wizard, having figured things out, felt much better.

"Alright, then I'll tell you about these three dangerous places..."

The enchanting world is the ultimate test of the mind; in illusion, one can see the truth, and in the truth, one can see the illusion.

To satisfy some of the desires and thoughts of those who are being tested in the mortal hell, thus bringing forth corresponding images.

It would be extremely deadly for any intelligent being.

Most importantly, no matter how much you question, speculate, understand, or try to understand the various images reflected in the depths of your heart by the hell of the mortal world, it will have no effect whatsoever.

Wanting to leave, yet unable to find a way, it's as if reborn, reborn into another world, changing according to one's own thoughts.

If Wang Ya wanted to, he could become the supreme Celestial Venerable of the divine world; the Nightmare Immortal Venerable of the immortal world; the Primordial Saint of the Reality and Illusion Nightmare Annihilation in the primordial world; and the Tenth-Order Truth Grand Wizard of the wizarding world.

It must be said that such a deadly temptation, this hellish world of mortals with no flaws, is extremely dangerous and contains great terror.

If one truly falls into it, even if one leaves the mortal hell, the wizard's heart will be affected, and one may even re-enter the mortal hell in the future, spending the days there as if addicted.

Fortunately, Wang Ya knew where he was and what trials he was going through.

What is real is real.

What is false is false.

Even if the hellish world of mortals evolves into new life, a reborn self.

He still believed that the Nightmare Wizard Wang Ya was himself, and not some other being.

He maintained self-awareness and rationally participated in the life that evolved from the hell of mortals.

This is not a special place for tempering the heart and spirit of a wizard.

However, it's a bit too dangerous.

Another half hour has passed in reality.

In the hazy, dreamlike world of mortals, a tall figure in a golden wizard's robe emerged, his black hair flowing freely without being bound, and the red lotus mask on his face adding to his mystique.

The black eyes within the hole gradually suppressed and became more restrained, exhaling a breath of turbid air as they looked towards the equally gloomy and dim sky.

"The mortal world!"

"No wonder that in the history of the Pillars of Hell, almost no one in the mortal realm has been able to pass through, except for the first Hell Wizard who created the Pillars of Hell."

Wang Ya touched the ground slightly, and an invisible aura of the mortal world emanated from it. A dim yellow light spread out, and in a daze, it reflected all sorts of hazy scenes.

It causes intelligent beings touched by the allure of the mortal world to feel bewildered and lost.

The mortal hell also brought him a magic array.

It is called the [Drowsy Desire Spell Array]

The Hell of Sighs brings with it the [Turbid Sighing Incantation Magic Circle].

The Hellish Society stationed there. The Earth Core Wizard uttered his last words, revealing his understanding of the perilous and hidden place. He then fell silent, his breathing long and deep, as if calming something.

Feeling the many gazes that gathered around me, most of them were surprised and admiring.

He felt extremely satisfied.

The title of "Pillar of Hell" is not only proclaimed by the Hell Club, but is now universally acknowledged and firmly established.

"Lord Makarov, thank you for your selfless dedication in sharing such valuable and secret knowledge."

The wizard Sachi led the praise.

Other wizards watching, including those from outside the Hell Society, also echoed the sentiments to varying degrees.

"You're all too kind; these are just some small insights and understandings I've gained."

The Earth Core Wizard wore a smile and behaved with propriety, but the excitement and joy in his heart were something he could not share with outsiders.

"I hope you all gain something and go further on the path of the Pillars of Hell; I will say it again: if anyone can surpass me, he will become the Lord of the Hell Society, and I will give him everything I have, and I will become his wizard and obey his commands."

"Such a person cannot exist," the Earth Core Wizard thought to himself.

As one wizard after another departed.

The matters concerning the Hell Society are now concluded.

The remaining cleanup work was also carried out by the wizards of the Hell Society.

Sachi the Wizard, accompanied by many wizards from the Hell Society, surrounded the Earth Core Wizard, looking at him with utmost reverence, and inquired about some of his inner confusions and difficulties on the path of wizardry.

The Earth Core Wizard still remembered the events of the Mountain of Knives and Hell, and investigated the source of the palpitations. Faced with questions and difficulties from many key members of the Hell Society and his confidants, he patiently answered some of the questions.

Half an hour later, the Earth Core Wizard walked out of the space where the Hell Society's outpost was located. Many wizards who were coming and going in the passageway watched his figure with curiosity. He turned into a meteor and flew towards the five dangerous places.

"What's going on? The Lord of Hell seems to have some urgent matter!"

"Who knows? But the Hell Society has only just shown its power. Our Earth Core Wizard is now the number one person at the Pillar of Hell, and he's made quite a splash."

"Having a mere reputation is just showing off; having equal strength and the foundation of a wizard's path is what truly earns one's reputation."

One of the wizards said this.

The Earth Core Wizard still holds considerable weight in people's hearts, especially after the trial; the Earth Core Wizard 'Makarov,' who passed through the three perilous places, continues to rise in prestige.

Meanwhile, the Earth Core Wizard, in order to find the source of the tremor, rushed to the jungle and the Mountain of Knives and asked some wizards who had participated in the assessment not long ago, and actually obtained quite a few clues.

"The mountain of knives is shaking and may collapse, leading to the accumulation of sulfurous suspended matter."

The Earth Core Wizard muttered a few words in surprise and uncertainty before walking into the jungle of knives.

Having the corresponding permissions and approval, he immediately felt the difference.

The entire jungle of knives was suddenly filled with an unusual aura that he found extremely repulsive, and even his hellish power felt frivolous.

"How could this be? So much of the hellish power on the surface of the Mountain of Knives has disappeared, and it had previously rioted. As someone with authority, I should have sensed it immediately."

Upon reaching the summit and seeing the additional, unknown wizard statue, the Earth Core Wizard's eyes widened in disbelief.

He trembled slightly, then his eyes became bloodshot, and his fists clenched tightly.

"Who is this person? Who exactly is this person? And what means did they use to conceal their aura and the extraordinary radiating spread of hellish power?"

The suppressed growl of anger did not travel; it abruptly stopped.

The Earth Core Wizard transformed into a shooting star burning with endless hellish yellow demonic fire, heading towards the Blazing Hell.

The spirit of the Crimson Witch Array had just concealed the strange fluctuations of the Mortal Hell and hadn't even caught its breath when its heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

"No way, Nightmare Wizard, I know you're outrageous—connecting four hells in less than two hours—but don't be so exaggerated! Only a few minutes have passed, and you've already passed the Hungry Ghost Hell?" (End of Chapter)
