Chapter 1022: Damned Hell Sea
Clear skies.
Open green flame sea.
Deadly waters.
"This is going to be a wild ride," Kent said, standing on top of a mountain, gazing at the vast open sea, burning green with flames so lethal he knew things wouldn’t end well for anyone who dared enter this sea.
[This is the Sea of hell. It can be found on every level in hell...However, this one is known as the Damned Hell Sea. It contains the souls of the damned, those who never qualified to live in any of the 14 cities in this level of hell.]
"I need more context, Gaap." Kent gazed at Gaap, who had transformed back into his human form and was seated beside him on a mountain overlooking a vast green sea.
He had just arrived in hell, but found himself outside the true 6th level of hell. He discovered that the sixth level of hell is called Nex Morbus and is ruled by a fallen angel named Bliz.
He also learned there are 14 cities in hell, with each ruled by either a hell king or queen. Also, there is the sea that surrounds the entire sixth level.
Right now, he is staring at this sea, and what he is looking at doesn’t inspire confidence. As his guide, Kent wants Gaap to tell him everything he needs to know before taking his next step.
[The 14 cities in Nex Morbus are like societies that have specific people (hell demons) they house. These beings work every day to sustain themselves because in hell, there is no family. Of course, there are teams that are mostly led by either a hell commander or general.
However, if you don’t meet any of these requirements, then you are cast into the Damned Hell Sea. Those who also lose their statues simply because they lack hell coins are also cast into it.
Basically, the Damned Hell Sea contains the souls of people who are in pain, extremely dangerous, and are eager to feed.
From time to time, unfortunate people find themselves transported to hell. These people are cast into the sea because they are still alive, and the souls of the damned feed on them.
You are still alive, so you are like a hot meal to them.]
"But I believe there is a way to survive...right?"
Gaap turns and looks at Kent and says, "If you had your Nirvana Flames, then perhaps. However, without it, you can only fight your way through and hope that is enough."
"I see," Kent didn’t rush to jump into the sea. He first examined his options...
However, Gaap didn’t allow him to sink into his thoughts...
[Though I have to say, the Damned Hell Sea is a primordial flame...A divine Primordial Flame, to be exact. Additionally, I was told that the deeper you sink, the hotter it gets, and the hotter it becomes, the more potent the flame essence.
Some even say that if you manage to sink to the bottom, the potency of the flame essence is akin to a Supreme Primordial Flame.]
"Now, that is something I can work with." Kent smiles.
When he subdued the 7th Hell flame, he strangely received a scroll that contained the Foundation technique called Hell Flame Art.
Essentially, this technique enables one to cultivate seven Primordial flames and form seven distinct entities from them.
He can form a Human, a demon, an Angel, a Beast, and many more. Of course, the foundation is merely for him to form these entities.
Now he has seven Primordial flames, each a deadly one; he could only thank his lucky stars he managed to get when he didn’t even know he needed them.
So Kent wasn’t about to use them to form his core. They are for the Hell Flame Art.
However, now, hearing what Gaap said, he knew he would be able to form his core using an even potent form of a Primordial flame.
’Agni told me the more potent the flame essence, the higher my chances of success in forming a flame core, ’ Kent said, knowing this is indeed the most ideal way to form his core.
[What are you thinking?] Gaap asked, looking at the smile on Kent’s face.
Kent turns to him and asks, "How deep is the Damned Hell Sea, and how dangerous does it get as I head deeper?"
Gaap looked at Kent with widened eyes; however, he answered.
[It will take approximately 1 year to reach the button if you were to have your Nirvana flame, but without them, if you somehow manage to handle all obstacles, then you will need between 3 and 5 years to reach the button.
As to the danger level, let’s just say you will wish you never ventured there.]
"I see," Kent thought for a moment, then he decided to make his final plans.
’I will use this flame to form my core. It is potent and perfect for what I am after. However, to get to the bottom of the damned hell sea, I need to be prepared.
This means I need to refine the Blood Life and Death Seal I have and absorb the blood essences I have before doing anything.’
He sighed, ’Then I will form my core and, if possible, form the next set of flame veins before coming out. I can tell this time, the journey will be tough, so I might as well be prepared.’
Kent turned to Gaap and said, "I will be spending the next 6 months working on something very important. Use this time to explore some part of the sea and gather as much intel as you can find.
Once I am done, we will head to the bottom of the Damned Hell Sea. I need to be prepared, and the only way to do that is to go to the bottom."
[Okay.]
Gaap transformed into a sword and dived into the sea.
"This is going to be bloody," Kent smiled, already anticipating when he would also dive into the sea.
He retrieved two tokens, one white and one red, and made them hover in front of him.
Refining them will take at least 2 months each. Thankfully, he has the soul Universe to aid in refining them.
So he formed a hand seal and started to refine them. If he manages to refine both, then his health will be on a new level, while his killing strikes will also become deadly.

[Somewhere in the Underworld]
Just like how there are 13 levels of hell, there are also 13 levels of the underworld, each a place with its own laws and culture.
At the moment, inside an Inn in the 9th level of the Underworld, a dark-haired beauty held a freshly brewed Underworld ginger wine in a tall glass, looking out the window.
Looking in the direction she was staring, one could see a tall, dark castle in the distance, its walls impenetrable.
Suddenly, a young man wearing a black hat entered the Inn and walked toward this dark-haired lady. However, before he could sit down, the young lady glared at him, causing him to smile and hesitate before sitting down.
"You never change, Nyx," The man said.
"What do you want, Bilad. As you can see, I am sightseeing and I want my peace of mind."
Bilad looked out the window and saw where she was looking at causing him to laugh.
"Stop dreaming, Nyx. People like you and me don’t get to rule over the underworld."
"Maybe people like you. Not me." Nyx smirked, "One day, I will become a queen of the Underworld."
"Whatever makes you sleep at night, I guess." Bilad smirked, "However, before your suicide mission, know that someone had activated a Hell Road, meaning there will be entertainment. Do you want to pop down to hell and have a look?"
Nyx glares again at Bilad and knocks him, "Why didn’t you lead with that, stupid?"
