Chapter 406: Eternal Hell, Profound Yellow Space

The hideous man gazed at the cubic space, his expression filled with satisfaction.

“The battlefield is set! Leave the two Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends to me. The rest are yours!”

“I just killed a peak Ji Meng-level fighter. Miao Ying, Six Arms—the remaining few are yours! Denglong, lead our brothers and kill the guardian Demon Fiends. You don’t need a decisive victory, just tie them down. Wait for Miao Ying and Six Arms to finish their tasks, then rendezvous with them. Overwhelm the stragglers with your superior numbers and crush them together!”

“Yes, Boss!”

“Got it, Boss. You can count on me.”

“Come on, little Demon Fiends, let me see what you’ve got! I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

Denglong, Miao Ying, and Six Arms stared at the massive three-dimensional space before them, their faces alight with excitement.

They had been outnumbered.

But with this single move, their boss had turned their disadvantage into an overwhelming advantage.

The Demon Fiends and guards on the Spiritual Ship were numerous, but this three-dimensional space had isolated them from one another.

Now, the attackers controlled the entire board. They could lie in wait, picking off their separated enemies with precision.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Denglong, Miao Ying, Six Arms, and the other Demons led the Tribulation Cultivators of Demon Flame Profound Heaven forward. They unleashed an unimaginable burst of speed and shot toward the three-dimensional space.

Xu Chang’an had been blending in with the main force of Demon Fiends, planning to just coast through the fight.

But he had never expected the hideous man to pull a stunt like this.

He had noticed the instant the hideous man made his move.

However, as someone who preferred to lie low and build his strength, he wasn’t about to paint a target on his back by trying to stop him.

‘Then again, even if I had tried, with my strength barely reaching the Qinyuan Level, I couldn’t have stopped him anyway.’

‘In that case, it’s better to wait and see how things play out.’

The moment the three-dimensional space formed, Xu Chang’an felt a boundless Energy instantly envelop his body. An immense, formless pressure squeezed him from all sides.

‘This pressure is immense!’

Xu Chang’an thought, growing wary.

The pressure was terrifyingly strong. Even his cultivation foundation wasn’t enough to completely negate it; he was still significantly affected.

‘I can only bring out seventy percent of my full power at most!’

‘I’m afraid that an Iron-Cracking Level Demon Fiend with an average foundation wouldn’t even be able to defeat a powerful Late-stage Void Refining cultivator in here, let alone an Yingzhao-level Demon Fiend who hasn’t even reached the Unity Realm.’

‘These Tribulation Cultivators really mean business.’

Xu Chang’an glanced around and found himself enclosed on all six sides—above, below, left, right, front, and back—by Profound Yellow Barriers.

Upon closer inspection, he saw the barriers flowed like a liquid, constantly churning.

The space he occupied was small, no more than a hundred cubic meters.

‘Such a masterful divide-and-conquer strategy!’

Xu Chang’an extended his Demon Sense, sweeping it in all directions.

His Demon Sense was powerful, comparable to that of a peak Qinyuan-level Demon Fiend.

‘It should be powerful enough to probe the secrets of this space.’

However, a moment later, Xu Chang’an was stunned.

‘My Demon Sense can only probe three or four of the adjacent cubes?’

‘So the pressure doesn’t just affect the body—it’s suppressing my Demon Sense, too?’

Xu Chang’an understood at once.

If even his Demon Sense could only probe a few nearby spaces, then the isolating power of this Profound Yellow Three-Dimensional Space was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Even a Ji Meng-level Demon Fiend would likely be rendered blind upon entering this Profound Yellow Three-Dimensional Space.

Perhaps… a peak Ji Meng-level Demon Fiend might be able to perceive the situation in the cubes right next to them.

Watching the slowly flowing barriers, Xu Chang’an secretly formed a theory.

‘These Profound Yellow Cubic Spaces probably aren’t static. They might even be able to shift and rearrange themselves!’

‘A true Eternal Hell!’

‘To command such a technique… just what is that hideous man’s level of power?’

‘I still don’t have a clear grasp of the situation, so I can’t risk a direct confrontation. For now, I’ll just wait here in this Profound Yellow Space until things become clearer before I make my move.’

The massive, profound-yellow, three-dimensional structure floated in mid-air, its components slowly shifting.

The hideous man stood upon the air, a smile gracing his features as he gazed upon his masterpiece.

‘Those two Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends are certainly impressive! Judging by the commotion, they’re likely stronger than the average Qinyuan-level. They can even shatter the Profound Yellow Barriers of my Eternal Hell in a single blow!’

‘But it’s a pity. So what if you can break through one? An endless series of Profound Yellow Spaces awaits you!’

‘The Profound Yellow Spaces can shift and rearrange. This means you will never escape this Eternal Hell! And if you can’t escape, then no matter how powerful you are, you are merely fish on my chopping block!’

‘First, I’ll wear you down a bit.’

The hideous man observed for a while longer, then set his mind at ease.

He manipulated the structure, adjusting the orientation of its spaces.

As long as the two Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends couldn’t shatter his entire Eternal Hell in a single strike, they would never escape.

His Demon Sense permeated the entire structure, giving him complete control over everything within the Eternal Hell.

By sharing this information, the Tribulation Cultivators of Demon Flame Profound Heaven were like fish in water inside the Eternal Hell, slaughtering their trapped foes with impunity.

However, his own energy was not limitless, and the two Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends were putting a significant strain on him.

He needed to focus his attention on the two Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends and a few of the Ji Meng-level ones. Beyond that, he could only perform periodic sweeps, not maintain real-time observation.

If those two Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends weren’t constantly shattering the barriers and rampaging from one cell to the next, the strain on him would be far less!

Qu Shenghao was one of the Demon Fiends participating in this trans-continental escort mission.

A Shangyang-level Demon Fiend.

His combat strength was considerable; he was considered one of the more powerful fighters among those at the Shangyang-level.
