Fame Spreads Through Hell

In a nameless mountain range out in the wilderness.

In a hollow somewhere within the mountain range, someone had excavated a cave dwelling. A black-haired young man sat cross-legged inside it.

It was Lin En, who had slain four Seven-star Demons. After killing Makram and the other three, he had flown toward the Star Mist Sea, only stopping when the Blood Sun set and the violet moon rose.

With a wave of his hand—

"Clatter!"

Divine sparks, Divine Artifacts, and Spatial Rings fell all over the ground.

"To kill those four, I was forced to use two drops of Lord God Power. Now, I only have five drops left!" After putting away the divine sparks and Divine Artifacts, Lin En looked at the four Spatial Rings before him. "I hope the gains won't disappoint me!"

Picking up one Spatial Ring, Lin En directly dripped a drop of blood onto it. Yet the drop rolled around the surface of the ring without being absorbed.

"This is that Lightning-element Seven-star Demon Lidovia's Spatial Ring. What a pity—one of her Divine Clones is still alive!" Lin En shook his head and put the ring away.

He remembered that Lidovia had used Lightning Lord God Power in their earlier battle. It would have been nice if he could obtain a few drops of Lightning Lord God Power from her.

Still, he did not destroy this Spatial Ring that he could not bind. Perhaps he would encounter her again someday.

Fortunately, aside from Lidovia's Spatial Ring, he successfully bound the other three men's Spatial Rings.

They were three Seven-star Demons, and none of them were ordinary Seven-star Demons. The combined wealth within their Spatial Rings exceeded twenty trillion Ink Stones. Furthermore, Makram's and Vistov's Spatial Rings contained two drops and one drop of Destruction Lord God Power respectively.

As a result, the total Lord God Power he possessed became five drops of Fire Lord God Power and three drops of Destruction Lord God Power.

Lin En smiled. "Although I didn't obtain any Lightning Lord God Power, at least I didn't lose out."

While Lin En continued comprehending the laws as he made his way toward the Star Mist Sea.

Aliquin had already arrived at the city closest to that volcanic region. Without slowing his pace, he entered the Demon Castle and chose to sell the recorded battle scryer.

His asking price—

Six hundred billion Ink Stones!

For an ordinary Five-star Demon like him, this price could be called astronomical. All of his wealth combined amounted to less than one hundred billion Ink Stones.

Originally, Aliquin had already prepared himself to bargain with the Demon Castle's manager.

But the other party had no intention of haggling at all, readily purchasing the battle scryer for six hundred billion Ink Stones.

That was because the Demon Castle manager had recognized the identities of those who had died: elders of the Four Divine Beast Families, Seven-star Demons of the Hurley Family, the City Lord of Floating Light City...

"Good heavens, he directly killed two Seven-star Demons from Lord God families!" The Demon Castle manager was utterly excited. This was huge news.

Such a high-quality battle scryer, with three renowned figures in it as well, could absolutely sell for five billion Ink Stones per copy.

They only needed to sell twelve copies to recover their costs. Everything sold after that would be profit.

Demon Castles were spread throughout Hell, and they also sold intelligence and similar services. They treated this scryer as intelligence and put it up for sale. Before long, every Demon Castle in Hell had this information.

And this battle spread throughout all of Hell as well.

"A powerful figure has risen in Hell once more. Under no circumstances are we to provoke this man!" The patriarch of an ancient clan sternly ordered every member of his clan.

"Damn it! He killed an elder of our Four Divine Beast Families! We must find him and kill him!" The council of elders of the Four Divine Beast Families reached a resolution.

"What formidable Lightning Law attainment. Hehe... it would be great if I could fight him." A small amethyst beast somewhere in the Amethyst Mountains muttered to itself.

"People from the Four Divine Beast Families act tyrannically and without restraint! They deserved to be killed!" An elder of an ancient clan suppressed by the Four Divine Beast Families snorted coldly.

"So Lord Lin En isn't merely a Seven-star Demon. He's a Sovereign with strength equal to Commander Westalia! Fortunately, I didn't offend him back then!" At Black Flame Lake Castle, Xitaya, a Highgod of the Muya Legion, felt both amazement and lingering fear.

In only a few years, Lin En's fame spread throughout all of Hell along with that battle scryer. Every major power learned that a ruthless figure had risen in Hell, one who did not even regard the Four Divine Beast Families with any importance.

Moreover, his strength was terrifying. Even ordinary Sovereigns were probably no match for him.

Lin En, however, knew nothing of any of this. He simply sat in a metal vessel and flew toward the Star Mist Sea.

As its name implied, the Star Mist Sea was covered in layers of mist beginning roughly ten meters above its surface. The higher one went, the denser the mist became.

Most peculiar of all, the mist constantly absorbed the power of lightning from heaven and earth. Whenever someone entered the mist, it would unleash lightning to strike the intruder.

Furthermore, if the lightning within the mist accumulated to a certain extent, it would erupt in a "Mist Sea Riot"!

If one happened to be at the center of the riot and was struck by lightning, even a Seven-star Demon would not be able to withstand it.

Lin En knew that this mist was actually an external manifestation of the Electromagnetic Space profound mystery of the Lightning Law. He guessed that there were two opposing electrodes within the Star Mist Sea: one gathering lightning, the other releasing it.

The rising water vapor was ionized, forming mist that covered the entire sea.

In the original work, Purgatory Commander Langsloth had used this move before. Through the Electromagnetic Space profound mystery, he created a cloud filled with lightning.

Lynn headed for the Star Mist Sea for two reasons: first, to use the mist there to cultivate the Lightning Law; second, to visit Milo Island and study the many battle recordings collected by Mosi.

Whoosh!

The Metal Life became a streak of light and flew toward the Star Mist Sea, vanishing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Lightning Element Plane, Thunder Sea, Heaven's Punishment Island!

Inside a purple palace on the island, a woman who looked exactly like Lidovia opened her eyes, pain flashing through them. "My Seven-star Demon clone has been destroyed!"

Compared to the others, she still had a divine clone remaining on Heaven's Punishment Island, but the fallen Lightning Element Clone had been her strongest divine clone. Her surviving Water Element Divine Clone was only as strong as an ordinary Highgod. Losing her strongest divine clone essentially meant she would never achieve anything great again, and her standing within the family would plummet as a result!

"Revenge! I must kill him!" Lidovia growled, her voice full of hatred.

With her hair disheveled, she left her palace and flew straight toward the center of Heaven's Punishment Island.

Heaven's Punishment Island was the Hurley Family's main base in the Lightning Element Plane. Those living here were all Seven-star Demon elders and Asuras of the Hurley Family. Within the magnificent palace at the island's very center lived the Hurley Family's ancestor, Lightning Master Hurley.

Of course, Lidovia was not qualified to seek an audience with Hurley. She was heading for the slightly shorter palace beside Hurley's palace.
