Chapter 3056: Fusion, Skeleton Hell Grows Stronger Again

The hell fragment flickered with a black-gray light, continuously emitting a black-gray aura.

This aura evolved into a hell world, with endless flames bursting out from the hell world, turning into a sea of fire.

The hell fragment possessed most of hell’s abilities. It would burn and devour everything it encountered, turning it into its own power.

As it devoured more treasures, materials, and living beings, the hell it evolved would become stronger, and even itself could be restored.

If one day it could devour the entire Origin Continent, perhaps hell could be restored.

Even as a fragment, it was enough to exhaust top-tier Star Lords and burn to death ninth-level Dao Venerable powerhouses like Lei Tian.

If it recovered a bit more, even if the Beast Emperor took action, he wouldn’t be able to stop it.

It was precisely because of this that when Lin Moyu had asked the Third Ancestor about the whereabouts of hell fragments, the Third Ancestor’s reaction was so strong.

Lin Moyu, relying on the Skeleton Hell, successfully approached the hell fragment.

The hell fragment had no consciousness, only instinct.

When Lin Moyu approached it, its instinct seemed to sense danger coming. It frantically spewed black-gray aura, making the sea of fire even more intense.

But none of this could stop Lin Moyu. With the Skeleton Hell protecting him, Lin Moyu completely ignored the flames.

Having fused with a hell fragment before, the hell fragment now posed no threat to Lin Moyu.

With a thought, the range of the Skeleton Hell expanded rapidly, directly enveloping the hell fragment.

The Skeleton Hell and the fire sea world overlapped, as if fusing together.

The Gates of Hell suddenly appeared, the complex patterns on the gates glowing brightly.

A huge suction force rose from the Gates of Hell, enveloping the hell fragment.

The hell fragment resisted the suction of the Gates of Hell, as if unwilling to be sucked away.

The Stygian Black Pool spun rapidly, and the ten-thousand-meter black dragon flew out from the pool, biting the hell fragment in one gulp.

Then it violently shook its head, throwing the hell fragment towards the Gates of Hell.

A vortex appeared in the Gates of Hell, sucking in the hell fragment.

In an instant, the Gates of Hell erupted with brilliant light. More patterns appeared on the gates, surging out like ocean waves.

The vortex reversed, and countless black-gray aura rushed out from the vortex, fusing into the Skeleton Hell and Stygian Black Pool.

The Stygian Black Dragon let out a series of dragon cries, each more intense than the last. Lin Moyu could feel that the Stygian Black Dragon was extremely excited at this moment.

The Skeleton Hell rumbled incessantly, and the hell fiends roared loudly in unison, their voices deafening.

As the master of the Skeleton Hell, Lin Moyu could feel that the Skeleton Hell was absorbing and fusing with that hell fragment.

Although the hell fragment resisted somewhat, its resistance was ineffective.

The power contained in this hell fragment was becoming nourishment for the Skeleton Hell.

Though it was just a small piece, its effect was better than origin spirit veins.

Lin Moyu could clearly feel that the Skeleton Hell was rapidly growing stronger.

The realm of the hell fiends quickly broke through collectively, reaching fourth-level Dao Venerable. After breaking through, they continued to soar, rapidly approaching fifth-level Dao Venerable.

After infinitely approaching fifth-level Dao Venerable, the speed of improvement finally slowed down, ultimately failing to break through to fifth-level Dao Venerable.

The hell fiends were at the limit of fourth-level Dao Venerable, just one step away from fifth level.

Lin Moyu estimated that with 2 million hell fiends at the limit of fourth-level Dao Venerable, it was enough to trap any ten powerhouses below seventh-level Dao Venerable.

If the numbers could increase a bit more, adding in the Stygian Black Dragon, he wouldn’t fear even facing seventh-level Dao Venerable.

Thinking of the hell fiends evolved by the hell fragment earlier, although they had seventh-level Dao Venerable combat power, their numbers were too few, only a hundred.

Quantity and quality seemed hard to achieve simultaneously.

In comparison, Lin Moyu prioritized quantity, using numbers to make up for quality.

Of course, the quality couldn’t be too poor either.

“I wonder if the numbers will increase!”

Just as this thought arose, the hell fiends suddenly began to split.

The hell fiends divided one into two, instantly doubling in number, from 2 million to 4 million.

The range of the Skeleton Hell was also rapidly expanding, from the previous 4,000 li to 8,000 li.

The Stygian Black Dragon opened its mouth, letting out a series of dragon cries.

Its body was growing larger, though its length remained unchanged at ten thousand meters.

It still hadn’t completely left the Stygian Black Pool, only ten thousand meters of it was outside the pool.

But it had become more robust, its power greatly increased compared to before.

According to Lin Moyu’s feeling, the Stygian Black Dragon’s power had reached sixth-level Dao Venerable, two levels higher than the hell fiends.

With it present, the power of the Skeleton Hell increased accordingly.

Even if he couldn’t trap a seventh-level Dao Venerable to death, Lin Moyu had confidence in facing one head-on.

A third-level Dao Venerable facing a seventh-level Dao Venerable head-on was an unimaginable miracle.

One hell fragment had greatly increased his combat power.

This further strengthened Lin Moyu’s determination to seek out hell fragments.

He must go to the Netherworld clan in the Western Continent.

After devouring the hell fragment, the Gates of Hell became more complete.

The profound patterns on the gates had appeared to about a quarter.

If this continued, the Gates of Hell would eventually be fully restored.

At that time, the Skeleton Hell might become a new hell, returning to the world.

As he withdrew the Skeleton Hell, the flames instantly disappeared.

The treasury on the 95th floor had been completely burned, leaving nothing behind.

Not just the treasury, but even the space on this floor and part of the formations in the Purple Tiger Pagoda had been burned by the flames.

The Purple Tiger Pagoda was also damaged as a result, but fortunately, it had the ability to self-repair. As long as the damage wasn’t too severe, it could recover on its own.

Lin Moyu understood that the true foundation of the Purple Tiger Pagoda was actually the Purple Pattern Origin. As long as the Purple Pattern Origin wasn’t damaged, the Purple Tiger Pagoda could possibly recover.

Lei Tian and the Great Elder rushed up. Seeing Lin Moyu unharmed, the two couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Lin Moyu said, “It’s resolved, but the treasury has been burned away.”

Lei Tian waved his hand, “Gone is gone, these are small matters. As long as Mr. Lin is safe and sound, nothing else matters.”

Lin Moyu chuckled, “Fortunately, there are other spaces in the Purple Tiger Pagoda. If not for these layers of space blocking it, I’m afraid the whole tower would have been burned down.”

Lei Tian and the Great Elder deeply agreed with this.

If not for the layers of space in the Purple Tiger Pagoda, the flames of the hell fragment would have long since devoured the entire Purple Tiger Pagoda, and wouldn’t have given Lin Moyu time to act.

Lin Moyu clapped his hands, “Alright, the Purple Tiger Pagoda is safe now. There shouldn’t be any more issues. I can retire successfully.”

Lei Tian hurriedly tried to keep him, “Won’t Mr. Lin stay for a few more days?”

Lin Moyu shook his head, “I have other matters. Actually, I was just passing through Purple Tiger City, coming to see Lei Hao along the way. Now I’ve already delayed for quite a few days and should set off again.”

“Regarding the previous matters, you don’t need to keep them too much in mind. I’ve also received compensation. Moreover, with Lei Hao here, I’ll naturally help when I can.”

Lin Moyu mentioned Lei Hao twice in these two sentences, further strengthening Lei Tian and the Great Elder’s determination to establish Lei Hao as the next clan leader.
