The main culprit imprisoned in the First Layer of Hell wasn’t too strong—at most one Shuai’s worth of power.
This level, let alone in prison, was quite common even outside.
Truthfully, a bit weak.
In the past, Jun Changxiao could resolve this by using various trump cards, reference: the Shuai character man.
The fortress defined him as the main culprit not because of his realm, but because he had a special ability to eavesdrop on others’ hearts.
Spoken words.
Transmitted sounds.
Even thoughts in the heart could be easily stolen.
This special skill was quite impressive, especially in combat where he could perceive the enemy’s thoughts—practically like having wallhacks enabled.
In fact, this was indeed the case.
Before coming in, this main culprit almost never lost, until he was… targeted by the fortress’s Twelve Patrol Envoys.
This showed that the ability to spy on hearts wasn’t absolutely invincible; when facing martial artists stronger than himself, he could only obediently be a grandson.
However, the main culprit was currently having a breakdown.
The bald man who just entered and resolved several thousand prisoners had overall strength barely touching the threshold of Lower Breaking Sky Realm—why couldn’t he hear his heart?
His special skill was absolutely effective against same-level or lower-level opponents. Now it seemed to have malfunctioned, which was definitely unpleasant, definitely something he needed to figure out, so he walked out from the darkness.
“He’s coming!”
The eyepatch man exclaimed: “That guy’s coming!”
The prisoners stacked together now couldn’t care about their pain all over, because their consciousness was completely dominated by fear!
Although the First Layer of Hell’s main culprit sat year-round like a monk in areas the light couldn’t cover, though he had little presence, the fellow inmates were still extremely wary of him. After all, being defined as a main culprit by the fortress meant he was absolutely someone not to be trifled with!
Immediately after.
Everyone nearly spat blood on the spot!
Jun Changxiao actually said it was because he was too handsome that his heart couldn’t be spied on.
How could he shamelessly say such words? And say them so naturally and smoothly? Even his facial micro-expressions conveyed a feeling of ‘I’m really handsome’!
The main culprit was also dumbfounded.
“Kid.”
He grinned: “Your thick skin probably isn’t inferior to that guy locked below.”
“This isn’t thick skin, but… the facts are indeed so.” Jun Changxiao said without blushing or his heart racing.
“…”
The system said: “I’ll state in advance that the host’s heart not being heard has absolutely nothing to do with me. This really is extremely likely due to skin too thick to penetrate!”
The main culprit laughed strangely: “I heard you say earlier you want to be the First Layer of Hell’s boss?”
“Correct.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Do you agree or object?”
“Pah!”
The main culprit spat, raised his head, looked at Gou Sheng with his nostrils, and said arrogantly: “I object.”
“Boom!”
Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out!
Jun Changxiao had already appeared in front of the main culprit, his right fist gathering spiritual energy all blasting into his abdomen, the instantly erupting air wave sweeping the eyepatch man and others away.
Object?
Then face punishment!
Jun Changxiao, who didn’t follow rules even in the Plane Battlefield, came to a prison that emphasized strength above all even more. As long as someone dared object to him, he would definitely carry out ‘brutal thrashing’ to the end!
Your emperor has arrived.
These words really weren’t said casually by Gou Sheng.
Especially infiltrating the prison, he not only had to rescue the imprisoned Nine Emperors but also subdue all the prisoners here!
Why?
My Eternal Sect’s Celestial Origin Prison-Suppressing Tower needs them to inject souls!
Before entering Nine-Layer Hell, Jun Changxiao thought that if the fortress offended him, he’d release all the prisoners inside and make them busy and overwhelmed.
After coming in and seeing so many prisoners with considerable strength, he immediately temporarily changed his plan.
Serving time in the fortress’s prison was still prison; serving time in Eternal Sect was also prison. Since both were prison, why not transfer them all over, then feed them well and use them as sparring partners for disciples?
This idea was very Gou Sheng.
…
“Thud thud thud!”
The attacked main culprit staggered back several steps.
With only one Shuai’s worth of power, unable to capture Jun Changxiao’s heart meant half his abilities were废d.
“You!”
The main culprit clutched his chest and angrily said: “You actually sneak att…”
“Whoosh!”
Jun Changxiao suddenly disappeared from his original position, instantly appearing behind him, his right fist enveloped by the Mechanical Armed Wing. With the dual enhancement of realm and equipment, he immediately gathered even more powerful force!
Speaking of which.
This divine modified equipment purchased long ago, as Gou Sheng’s strength continuously improved, still worked hard to release its value on the verge of being eliminated!
“Boom—”
An even more intense booming sound rang out in the First Layer of Hell, then the main culprit’s entire body flew up from the ground, slamming frontally into the prison wall with tremendous force.
“My heavens!”
The eyepatch man’s eyes immediately widened like saucers.
The First Layer of Hell’s main culprit—not to mention his special ability, just his realm alone had reached Lower Breaking Sky Realm—was actually no match for the bald man!
“…”
The prisoners lying in the distance had quite spectacular expressions.
Such a fierce guy, and they brain-lessly ran out to ‘welcome’ him—they really were old birthday stars hanging themselves!
“Swish!”
Just then, Jun Changxiao charged over again, one hand clasping the main culprit’s head, then repeatedly slamming it into the wall. Immediately the sound of ‘boom boom boom’ rang out.
The eyepatch man and the prisoners were shocked, their scalps tingling.
Ruthless!
Too ruthless!
Just because the main culprit said one sentence ‘I object,’ he suffered such terrifyingly brutal treatment?
Fortunately, he had wisely chosen to agree at the time, otherwise… wait, those two readers who said ‘object’ in the chapter comments earlier—are they okay now?
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Inside the First Layer of Hell, that intense collision sound frequently rang out, hearing it made backs run cold, hearing it made hair stand on end!
…
Although the main culprit was Lower Breaking Sky Realm, if he didn’t rely on his special ability, he really was quite ordinary.
And Jun Changxiao?
Long ago, he had resolved the Shuai character man, though using various trump cards, but at that time his cultivation wasn’t high. Now not only had he broken through to Great Perfection, he’d also triggered an epic task!
Every time a realm reached its highest point, it triggered an epic task?
This meant that Jun Changxiao had reached the extreme at the Great Perfection level, just one small step away from entering the Martial Emperor realm.
His enemy was at the Shuai character man level, Gou Sheng himself had made great strides, and later was even tempered by the Fire Soul Spirit, with two infant spirits residing in his dantian.
So regarding true strength, even without the Difficult to Receive Blade and Stone Statue’s power enhancement, he could completely go head-to-head with a Lower Breaking Sky Realm of one Shuai’s power, even brutally thrash them.
“Thump!”
After ten-plus minutes of brutality and hundreds of thrashings, that main culprit who said ‘I object’ lay on the ground like mud, because his forehead had solidly impacted the prison wall, it had swollen to an indescribably miserable degree.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao crouched down, grabbed his prison uniform, his voice sinister: “I’m going to be the First Layer of Hell’s boss. Do you agree or object?”
“…”
The distant eyepatch man and the prisoners lying on the ground playing dead, in their hearts roared in unison: “The one who came in isn’t a prisoner, he’s a terrifying demon!”
