Plane Prison.

The north, where frigid winds howled across the heavens and earth, sending countless ice shards flying in a frenzy.

In this world of ice, mountain after mountain rose into the sky. Having been "sculpted" by the freezing winds for countless years, the ice mountains were all polished to a smooth, bright finish; one could even see their own reflection against the mountain walls.

A figure flew through the air and landed on one of these ice mountains.

"Damn that Beirut. Linley pulled out the Violet Blood Soft Sword and didn't suffer a single consequence. Olivier destroyed the Bosha Dike, ruined the sealing magic array, and released a massive number of beings from the Plane Prison, yet he was also fine. I, Kolan, merely took the Violet Blood Soft Sword and intended to set up a sealing magic array, yet I was thrown into the Plane Prison by you!" Kolan's expression was extremely unsightly.

Before he had gone, Kolan had pondered the matter thoroughly.

He had thought that taking the Violet Blood Soft Sword shouldn't cause any issues.

Who could have known that man proposes, but God disposes? It had gone wrong after all!

The Gebada Prison, this hellish place, was where the Plane Overseer and Baruch kept their prisoners. Now that he had been locked inside, getting out would be incredibly difficult.

In the original story, Linley pulled out the Violet Blood Soft Sword and destroyed the sealing magic array, allowing Dylin, the Grand Magus, Muba, Beaumont, and others to escape into the Yulan Continent one after another. But who knew where those people were now? He didn't know them, and besides, that wouldn't happen for another four thousand years or so.

Beyond that, there was the great battle between Linley and his group against Beaumont, where Olivier broke the Bosha Dike and destroyed the sealing magic array, causing numerous powerhouses from the Gebada Prison Plane to escape.

That would take even longer, and the location was relatively specific—he would just need to be in Azurefire City.

In other words, even if his luck were at its best, he would still have to wait for nearly four thousand years.

"Cultivating geniuses from my hometown? That's complete bullshit!" Kolan cursed Beirut in his heart.

Even here in the Plane Prison, he didn't dare curse Beirut out loud. Who knew if Beirut was watching him, and if he heard him cursing, he might just kill him with a single thought.

Better to live in shame than to die in glory.

No matter what, there was still hope of leaving the Plane Prison.

He took a flask of wine from his interspatial ring and drank it in large gulps.

After steadying his mind, Kolan began to survey his surroundings.

The environment here was truly harsh; it was a world of ice and snow, and the temperature was terrifyingly cold.

If one were not a Saint Realm powerhouse, they wouldn't be able to survive here at all.

Subsequently, Kolan released his soul energy.

"This Plane Prison and the Yulan Continent are two sides of the same coin, both belonging to the material plane, so the range of my divine sense is about the same." Kolan thought to himself, "This Plane Prison has no oceans, but the landmass is far greater than that of the Yulan Continent."

Kolan discovered that his divine sense could not cover the entire Plane Prison at all.

In the Yulan Continent, which spanned twenty or thirty thousand li, Kolan could stand in the center and cover the entire continent with his divine sense.

But in the Plane Prison, the area was far greater than the Yulan Continent.

Then again, ninety-nine percent of the Yulan Continent plane was ocean, with land accounting for less than half; the Yulan Continent itself didn't even make up ten percent of the total area of the Yulan Continent plane.

Naturally, the landmass of this Plane Prison was far greater than that of the Yulan Continent.

"Hiss—so many god-level powerhouses, even Highgods!" Kolan gasped, quickly retracting his aura and moving away at high speed.

Just moments ago, he had used his divine sense to probe a radius of thirty thousand li. To his surprise, the entire area was a frozen wasteland, and almost every living being was at least at the Saint Realm. There were hundreds of millions of Saint Realm beings, countless Lowgods and Midgods, and even hundreds of Highgods.

Compared to the Yulan Continent, this Plane Prison had far more god-level powerhouses than he could count.

Not long after Kolan left, several figures flew over.

Seeing that no one was there, they left as well.

Kolan traveled a thousand li away, where a Midgod was currently in seclusion inside an ice cave.

Kolan unleashed his Divine Domain and easily brought the Midgod under his control.

"What is your name?" Kolan asked.

"Reporting to Master, this subordinate is called Akes." There was a look of reverence in Akes's eyes.

"Give me an introduction to the situation in this plane." Kolan had controlled this Midgod specifically to learn about the Plane Prison.

"Master, the Plane Prison has five royal cities that rule over the entire plane: Azurefire City, Evil City, Destruction City, Ice Prison City, and Wind God City. Each of these five cities has a city lord, who is also a sovereign of the Plane Prison." Akes introduced, "The five sovereigns of the Plane Prison are the Azurefire Sovereign, the Evil Sovereign Odin, the Destruction Sovereign Luo, the Ice Prison Sovereign Baron, and the Wind God Sovereign Bevis."

"The youngest of the five royal cities was established about a million years ago."

"The place we are currently in is the Ice Prison of the north, which is the territory ruled by the Ice Prison Sovereign," Akes said.

Gradually, Kolan gained an understanding of the Plane Prison.

The Plane Prison only had five royal cities, and these cities were protected by the sovereigns, making them very safe. Of course, not just anyone could live in a royal city; one had to be at least a Midgod, or a Lowgod accompanied by a Midgod.

Even then, there was a price to pay: one needed contribution points. These points could only be earned through military service, as each royal city had an army composed of god-level powerhouses, and they would frequently go to war with one another.

Outside the royal cities, across the vast land, there were countless castles built by various god-level powerhouses.

In the Plane Prison, slaughter was a daily occurrence.

If you didn't kill others, you would be killed by them.

Even god-level powerhouses were no exception.

Lowgods were not considered powerhouses at all; they could barely be said to have the strength to protect themselves. Midgods were considered middle-tier, while Highgods lived quite comfortably, able to build their own castles and dominate a region even if they didn't live in the royal cities.

Normally, no one would dare to target a castle that belongs to a Highgod.

Kolan pondered.

Kolan was aware of the five kings of the Plane Prison, Qinghuo and the "Evil King" Odin.

Qinghuo was hailed as the greatest genius in the history of the Yulan Continent. Having cultivated for over a million years, his Fire Elemental Laws were nearly perfect, and his mastery of the Earth Laws had reached an incredibly profound level. He had likely fused four or even five profound mysteries; even in the Divine Planes or the Higher Planes, he would be considered a super powerhouse, a super powerhouse on the level of a Prefecture Lord.

The "Evil King" Odin had escaped the Plane Prison and entered the Yulan Continent later on. He was a Seven-Star Fiend level powerhouse and a Highgod who cultivated the Death Law. Because he had directly ordered his subordinates to kill Dixie, the brother of George and Delia, and had used soul control to drive Yale to madness, he was hunted down by Linley, who had returned from Hell. In the end, in the Netherworld, he lost his strongest divine clone, the Death God Clone.

Given Odin's style, if the other three kings were able to live well and stand on equal footing with him, then it stood to reason that their strength was no less than Odin's, likely also being Seven-Star Fiend level powerhouses.

The five kings of the Plane Prison were at the very least Highgods of the Seven-Star Fiend level; this was Kolan's assessment.

Beyond the five kings, among the many other Highgods, there were likely no shortage of Six-Star Fiends or Five-Star Fiend level Highgods.
