Hell's Invasion
Just as Wei Xiuming was about to say something, the Master Gu Yi's expression changed. Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet cracked open, and a huge, ferocious claw grabbed her and pulled her into the ground. Then, scorching heat and sulfurous black smoke billowed out from the crack, engulfing the entire Library.
The force of that shockwave was so strong that even Wei Xiuming couldn't withstand it. He was thrown back, crashing through several bookshelves and landing in a corner of the Library. Dahshir, on the other hand, was just an ordinary person. Under the influence of that toxic smoke, the moisture on his body evaporated rapidly, turning him into a dried-up skeleton. Then, the intense heat ignited his clothes, burning even his bones to ashes, which were then blown away by the toxic smoke in the surrounding area.
When Wei Xiuming stood still, he found that the once simple and solemn Library had become a pile of ruins. There were broken walls and rubble everywhere. The neat bookshelves and the various magic books placed on them had been burned by the high temperature. Only some burning fragments of the main beam of the roof remained.
And it wasn't just the library; the entire Kamar-Taj was engulfed in flames. Buildings were burning everywhere, and flames and black smoke turned the sky blood red. There were also screams of survivors mixed with the sounds of walls collapsing, trees cracking in the heat, and strange noises, like the cries of some creatures and the sounds of them eating some kind of juicy food.
"This is hell!" Wei Xiuming murmured after looking around.
This is not a description, but a description.

To broaden Wei Xiuming's experience, the Ancient One once stole some energy from the Hell Dimension through a spell, and then had Wei Xiuming memorize its characteristics. The energy that destroyed Kamar-Taj clearly came from the Hell Dimension, and the wind blowing out of the crack also carried a pungent sulfur smell. The combination of the two speaks volumes.
Those indistinguishable sounds were emitted by Hell Creatures that descended to Earth from the Hell Dimension through spacetime rifts. Enveloped in Hell Magic, they were not torn apart by the unstable spatial passage. After the mages were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties in the first wave of attacks, the Hell Creatures began their revelry.
Most of the mages were either killed or severely injured. Few managed to erect magical barriers, and the resistance consumed a great deal of their magic power. With their old power exhausted and new power yet to be generated, the attack of the Hell Creatures arrived, and almost all of the mages became their prey.
Hell is a harsh place with toxic air, flowing lava, and scorching ground. The strong devour the weak almost daily, and those who can survive in this dog-eat-dog world are top-notch in both combat and tactics. Even though the first wave of arrivals were cannon fodder, far inferior to the Hell Lords whose combat power rivals that of gods, they were still not easy to deal with. The mages were almost no match for them.
"Damn it!"
Kamar-Taj, which had given him unprecedented peace of mind, was destroyed in an instant. Although he didn't know how the demons had done it, Wei Xiuming was filled with extreme rage. He unleashed the power of the Magnetic Field Rotation he had been holding back and charged towards the nearest Hell Creatures.
But after taking the first step, a section of the ground beneath Wei Xiuming's feet collapsed, revealing a lava-filled underground layer, and the scorching heat in the air intensified.
Despite losing his footing, Wei Xiuming did not panic. The Magnetic Field Rotation could affect the magnetic field outside his body. Even without reaching the level of 500,000 horsepower against gravity, he could still fly using the Magnetic Field Rotation, although it consumed a great deal of power. Only those with more than 500,000 horsepower could make it an instinct.
However, Wei Xiuming discovered that the magnetic field around him had become very strange, and he could not find any leverage. Only then did he realize that the collapsed section of ground was actually the boundary between Earth and the Hell Dimension, and he had been pulled into the Hell Dimension at that moment.
Upon landing, Wei Xiuming found himself on a cliff, surrounded by rocks glowing red from the intense heat. A river of lava flowed beside him, and countless Hell Creatures roamed the distant mountains. The sky was constantly ablaze.
If it weren't Wei Xiuming in this place, but some other ordinary person with no ability to resist, they wouldn't be able to survive for even half a minute. The environment of hell is far worse than the physiological survival limits of most creatures on Earth.
Even Wei Xiuming felt uncomfortable breathing in the hot, dry air filled with the stench of sulfur. Anyone else would probably have their lungs burned before their alveoli were damaged by the poison.
Even with equipment isolating it from the external environment, it's barely clinging to life. Besides the environment, there are also a large number of Hell Creatures and the souls of sinners dwelling here, making the existence of living people a rare treasure.
In Hell, the only place with water is the constantly bubbling, highly poisonous swamp. Since water makes up 70% of the human body, the taste of flesh and blood is even sweeter to the Hell Creatures. Even if the Sorcerer Supreme, who is renowned Multiverse, were to come, these Hell Creatures would succumb to their greed and, without the orders of the Hell Lord, would willingly come to serve as cannon fodder to deplete his magical power.
Furthermore, those who can enter and leave Hell are mostly top-tier Mages whose souls are already incomplete. Only high-level demons can steal souls through transactions. Living people like Wei Xiuming, with intact souls, attract the Hell Creatures like a magnetic pole.
Besides the various bizarre and inhuman Hell Creatures, there are also numerous souls of sinners here. Their skulls are ripped off, their skin is cut off, and the scorching winds of hell blow from their heads to their feet, from their bodies to the depths of their marrow, subjecting them to constant torment. Having already died once, they cannot die again; this suffering will accompany them until their souls are obliterated. Therefore, their attitude towards the living is far more brutal than that towards the Hell Creatures.
However, they were facing Wei Xiuming, and were in a state of extreme rage due to the destruction of Kamar-Taj.
These Hell Creatures and sinful evil spirits would be troublesome on Earth, difficult to eliminate with conventional weapons. Even exorcists would need to use tools and chant spells for a long time. But in front of Wei Xiuming, they were just a bunch of small fry, the kind of creatures that wouldn't even deign to look at.
A Hell Creatures with blood-red mane, long horns, scales, sharp claws, and teeth charged to the front. When it pounced on Wei Xiuming, and the stench of its breath was so strong that Wei Xiuming moved.
"Electromagnetic Cannon!"
Through a short period of analysis, Wei Xiuming had mastered the frequency of the hellish magnetic field using his innate X Gene ability, and then adjusted the power of the Magnetic Field Rotation to the appropriate level.
Several clusters of magnetic energy condensed and were launched towards the Hell Creatures coming from all directions, their power far exceeding that of the Electromagnetic Cannons that humans on Earth were still experimenting with.
