Chapter 1024: Into The Damned Hell Sea
The moment Kent entered the sea, he started to hear wailing sounds.
It felt like the very flames burning around him were screaming. Of course, the feeling of water was also around him, but Kent felt the heat even more than the water.
This made him smile.
After all, he could tell his movement would not be hindered in any way.
However, there was a downside, and that was the heat.
He could tell from the heat that his flame resistance would have to step in. However, learning that he would be traveling perhaps 450,000km deep made him see the flaw in the advantage he had received.
If his flame resistance could not handle it anymore, then it meant he wouldn’t be able to reach the depth of the Damned Hell Sea.
In that case, his chances of using perhaps a Supreme Primordial Flame - if the rumors were true - to form his Flame Core would be boycotted.
However, forming 35,000 flame veins and a Perfect Flame Resistance counted for something. Additionally, since Kent’s body naturally adapted to the heat in its surroundings, he saw this as an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
If he were able to cultivate his Resistance in this Hell Sea, then perhaps reaching Transcendent or even Flame Immunity wouldn’t be impossible.
Kent stood on his sword as he moved deep into the Damned Hell Sea.
[You will start getting attacked from 12,000km, so be prepared]
Gaap’s voice reached Kent’s ears as they moved deeper into the sea.
"I am prepared, Gaap. This is my only chance to become super strong, so I won’t mess up." Kent’s Soul Map was open, and he could already see thousands of Damned hell beasts coming toward him.
He could tell there was no dodging them, so the best thing was to fight. Naturally, he was already prepared for that, as he had no plans of hiding or avoiding them.
’They are all sea beasts. Sharks, dolphins, seahorses, and many more,’ Kent said inwardly, looking at the Damned souls coming at him.
’Looks like I will consider this an appetizer, though the weakest is only level 1 Heavenly Ascension,’ Kent smiled.
’If I manage to reach the bottom, no Heavenly Ascension stage warrior should dare be arrogant before me,’ Kent bragged, and then he brought his flying to a halt and picked up the sword.
Behind him, 10 flying swords appeared and created a halo, spinning slowly as Kent started using his own speed to move.
’The soul spirits will come in handy this time around.’ Kent smiled evilly, and then he summoned a Tier 18 soul spirit of one of the beasts he had killed during his stay in the Flame Sea.
Using the teleport skill, he teleported the soul spirit to the middle of the beasts coming 7,000km away and snapped his finger, triggering the explosion.
The explosion was very loud, powerful, and deadly.
Thousands of Damned souls died, and many more were injured. In an instant, the green sea turned red, and Kent, who had seen this, smiled before he teleported away.
He appeared at the center of this devastation, and using the disorientation these beasts were in, he started to kill them.
[Smart play]
Gaap said as he slid through the body of a dolphin.
Kent smiled and then moved like the wind, appearing between ten seahorses. Because they were still not recovered from the soul shockwave that struck them, Kent merely used his mind to move the ten swords, killing them.
But that didn’t end there. Since he had a couple of minutes to himself, he could only kill more.
Within a minute, thousands of Damned soul beasts died, but that was merely a drop in the hundreds of thousands of beasts still coming.
Eventually, Kent started to sense the Damned soul beasts that were still active, simply because they were too far away, and they started closing in on him.
"Flame Rings"
Kent activated one of the Divine Grade Flame Techniques he had learned in the Flame Tower back in Sonox, creating a ring of flames, 100 meters wide.
This ring was like a power dampener. The moment a third party entered, their agility, strength, and health would be lowered by 30%.
Since Kent was now surrounded on all sides, he knew this was the only way forward. So he activated it, and with his movement now boosted thanks to the 500 flame veins he was using, he started to kill.
Kent wanted to adapt to the battle, so he started with only 500 flame veins, and as the pressure mounted, he would use more of them.
A Sea Bull lunged at Kent with its mouth open, green flames forming, and its body expanding. Clearly, it wanted to use its own weight to suppress Kent and blast him with green flames.
However, Kent had seen this coming long before it made a move. So right when it lunged forward, the ten spirit swords moved, and with one quick strike, which saw the ten swords flash through the air, the Sea Bull was slaughtered.
Its limbs were cut off, and its stomach was cut open, causing its intestines and other digestive organs to pour out.
Kent didn’t even turn to look since more of such sights started appearing all around him.
Soul Map was his eyes and ears, so he didn’t have to look at what happened with his own eyes to know.
WHOSH
Suddenly, an arrow moved past Kent’s ear. Well, it was more like he dodged an arrow that came from a Bone Fish. This Damned hell beast was a rare type of sea creature made of exoskeleton.
It is dangerous, and its bones are coated in potent poison. Naturally, with just one graze of its arrows, Kent would have been poisoned, and what was even worse, he would have been cocooned.
From where he was now, just a moment of recklessness would have cost him his life.
Thankfully, he saw the arrow coming.
’A level 2 Tier 19 beast, huh... Your core will be perfect to train my poison resistance,’ Kent said, and the next moment, he appeared beside the beast and severed its head.
Then, without even waiting for the core to come out of its head, he moved, and the head also vanished.
Just like how many flame cores were vanishing from the battlefield, this one also vanished. Naturally, this was all thanks to the Soul Map.
All Kent had to do was create a condition in his Soul Universe that if any type of flame core or any core he found a liking for appeared, the Soul Map should transport it into the Soul Universe.
As his soul strength continued to rise, he started to unlock more uses of the Soul Universe. Universal soul storage is the new ability...
[This is surprisingly going better than I expected]
One hour later, Gaap said, seeing Kent was surprisingly calm and composed as thousands of beasts continued to die every minute.
Kent smiled, hearing Gaap’s voice in his head. They both were swimming in Blood Essence and Resentful Blood Essence, so their enthusiasm was on another level.
Of course, they had already moved past 30,000km, so there was a reason for their enthusiasm.
’Gaap, you have to know that I have Jade beauties waiting for me back home. So when it comes to my safety, I don’t joke with it.’
Gaap, despite being in a sword, could only hum, telling Kent he was not buying his bullshit.
No sane person would willingly walk to Hell and dive headfirst into the Damned Hell Sea if they valued their life...
