"No! Don't kill me! Are you...are you really crazy? You actually want to be locked up a few floors below?! Do you know how terrifying it is down there?!" The head of the Cui family was dumbfounded when he felt Jiang Fan's ruthless and murderous behavior!
He thought he'd just been introduced as a newbie, a white sheep, but he'd never imagined it was a ferocious tiger ready to kill him, the prison boss! How crazy!
"Really? Then tell me what's so terrifying about the Eighteen Levels of Hell?" Jiang Fan was not in a hurry to kill the head of the Cui family. He could just force some information out of him.
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you! I've been in this prison for decades. I don't know anything about what's going on outside, but I know everything about what's going on inside! I often chat with these jailers, and they tell me that this Dragon City Prison is divided into eighteen floors! The first ten floors are used to imprison martial arts masters! The last seven floors are used to imprison land immortals! As for the last floor, it's a forbidden area, and no one knows what's imprisoned inside!"
"The first three floors are the safest. There are no special anomalies. The prisoners just need to mine every day."
"The last five levels are arranged according to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and feature celestial tortures! For example, in the fourth level, the Metal Hell, prisoners suffer a rain of swords and knives every day! Knives rain from the sky, and sharp swords grow from the ground! It's impossible to defend against them! It's impossible to sleep soundly! If you're not careful, you'll end up with bloody holes all over your body!"
"The seventh level, the Purgatory of Fire, is even more terrifying. It's incredibly hot everywhere, and flames can suddenly erupt from the ground, leaving you completely defenseless! According to the jailers, they often have to go to the Purgatory of Fire to collect these charred, blackened corpses!"
"The remaining ten floors are even more terrifying! Not only will the five elements of torture change randomly every day, sometimes with fire, sometimes with knives, making people suffer unbearable pain! There are also ghosts! No one knows what these ghosts are made of. Some say they are native to this cave, while others say they are the souls of prisoners who died here! These ghosts are powerful, their whereabouts are uncertain, and they specialize in torturing prisoners!"
"They will pull out your tongue, cut off your hands, cut off your flesh, remove your bones, crush you with stones, and perform other punishments! The torture will make you feel unbearable! Some ghosts will even eat the prisoners bit by bit after torturing you! Every year, many criminals escape the five elements of natural disasters, but cannot escape the ghosts' revenge! The mineral vein is the only thing that connects to the eighteen levels of hell. When you go mining, you can hear occasional screams coming from under the mineral vein! The screams are so miserable that it is unbearable to listen to!" The head of the Cui family said hurriedly.
After hearing these few words, Jiang Fan felt cold all over.
It’s not that Jiang Fan was scared, but that Jiang Fan was worried about his mother!
Even a land immortal with martial arts skills might not be able to withstand such inhumane torture, let alone a weak woman like my mother who has no martial arts skills at all!
Jiang Fan couldn't even imagine how his mother was being tortured!
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan became even more anxious to save his mother. He wished he could pierce through the eighteen levels of hell with one sword and rescue his mother directly!
At this time, Patriarch Cui continued, "And... and there's no point in killing me! You can't use this obsidian at all! This obsidian can't be absorbed directly. You must use the unique black fire of the Eighteen Layers of Hell to refine its extremely solid stone skin and extract the energy within! If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan immediately picked up the obsidian and gave it a strong squeeze! With Jiang Fan's current strength, even without using his internal energy, he could easily crush the steel bar into pieces!
However, when facing the obsidian, no matter how hard Jiang Fan exerted his strength, the obsidian's stone armor remained motionless, preventing Jiang Fan from absorbing the mysterious power within! This surprised Jiang Fan. He had never expected this obsidian to be so special! As expected, the specialties of the cave heaven were all extraordinary.
"What is the black fire of hell?" Jiang Fan continued to ask the head of the Cui family.
Jiang Fan possesses the Samadhi Dan Fire, and the Nether Blue Fire within it is said to come from Hell! It's a kind of ghost fire! But it's clearly blue! And this Hell Black Fire sounds black, I wonder if the two are related.
"That's a kind of flame that's born in the Eighteen Layers of Hell! It's incredibly powerful, capable of refining everything! It's a hundred times more powerful than the Dan Fire of the outside world!"
"But only the ten Yama guardians possess it! If we want to absorb the energy in the obsidian, we must ask the jailers to help transfer it to the Yama Lords and ask them to help refine it." Patriarch Cui answered in detail.
"Are they actually willing to help?" Jiang Fan asked curiously.
"Of course they're willing. Every time they refine the obsidian energy, they take a full 90%! They only give us 10%! Who wouldn't like such a lucrative deal?"
"That fingernail-sized piece of obsidian would take a prisoner six months of backbreaking work to collect! And once collected, it must be handed over; no private hoarding is allowed! As a reward for management, our cell bosses can get about one-tenth the size of a fingernail of obsidian every six months!"
"It took me five full years to collect such a small piece! Even so, they still wanted to take away 90% of the energy! It was really not easy for me! It was really not easy! If you want to absorb a complete piece of obsidian, it will take a full fifty years!" Patriarch Cui said with great pain, tears in his eyes!
"No wonder you have so little internal energy." Jiang Fan shook his head and understood.
The head of the Cui family should be a mid-stage Martial Saint in the outside world, which is pretty good.
If his internal energy was fully restored, it would be difficult for Jiang Fan to defeat him with only his physical strength, let alone win with one move.
The reason why he was able to win so easily was that although Patriarch Cui could use his internal energy, this internal energy was not even one percent of his peak energy, which allowed Jiang Fan to win so easily.
