How Were They Ranked?

‘Deathtrap…’

This was not the first time Xiao Mu Bai referred to that mysterious place in the Asura Hell as a death trap. However, Feng Qing Yang did not pay attention to it previously. After all, Xiao Mu Bai’s father, a World supreme powerhouse, managed to escape from that place even if he was injured. Since he was a level-seven supreme powerhouse, he did not think he would be in that great of a danger. In fact, he was even confident that he would be able to discover the mysteries of that place. Unexpectedly, he would have to retreat as soon as he entered that place. Fortunately, he did not suffer any injuries, but that was mostly because he retreated in time. Otherwise, based on how strong the force of the blood energies, he would have been seriously injured even if he did not die.

“Did your father tell you about what he encountered there?” Feng Qing Yang asked. Xiao Mu Bai did not go into details previously when they spoke about this matter. He was certain that Xiao Mu Bai’s father must have told Xiao Mu Bai about what he had encountered inside since Xiao Mu Bai was his son.

“He did,” Xiao Mu Bai said with a nod, “He said that as soon as he entered that place, he felt a terrifying blood-red energy surging toward him. Then, he was almost killed by that energy. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he managed to retreat and blocked some of the energy. According to him, the force of the energy was much stronger than that of a World supreme powerhouse. It was comparable to the energy of a level-seven supreme powerhouse.”

It was also for this reason that Xiao Mu Bai did not warn Feng Qing Yang about it. After all, as a level-seven supreme powerhouse, he did not doubt that Feng Qing Yang would be able to deal with it.

Finally, Xiao Mu Bai asked, “Lord Feng, did you go to that place?”

“Yes,” Feng Qing Yang said with a slight nod, “That place is really strange. As for the energy, it’s not as simple as your father said. It’s definitely stronger than that of a level-seven supreme powerhouse. At the very least, it’s stronger than ordinary level-seven supreme powerhouses. I couldn’t go any further because of it and was forced to give up.”

Xiao Mu Bai was naturally shocked when he heard these words. His face was pale as he said, “How’s this possible? Lord Feng, even you had no choice but to leave that place?”

Xiao Mu Bai was really frightened.

‘What the hell is that place?’

Level-seven supreme powerhouses were the strongest in the world. However, even Feng Qing Yang was forced to retreat as soon as he faced that energy.

“Indeed,” Feng Qing Yang said with a wry smile.

Not long after that, Feng Qing Yang bade farewell to Xiao Mu Bai and left.

…

After leaving, Feng Qing Yang looked for Duan Ling Tian.

“Master?”

Duan Ling Tian did not expect to see his master so soon after they parted ways. He knew that his master must have wanted to talk to him so he asked, “What is it, master?”

“Little Tian…”

Feng Qing Yang did not waste time and recounted his experience and Xiao Mu Bai’s words to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian was naturally familiar with the Asura Hell. Previously, after facing the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, he had left the God Defying World and took a detour to the Asura Hell, worried that someone would follow him and kill him.

Similar to Feng Qing Yang, he only knew that the Asura Hell was one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms. It was only later that he found out that it was almost among the three deadliest places in the God Defying World. Among the three places, he had only been to the Asura Hell.

“You were pressured by the energy?”

Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he found out that there was such a terrifying thing in the Asura Hell.

Until recently, it was common knowledge that there was no being stronger than World supreme powerhouses and Saints after the historical gap. The heavenly text also confirmed that his master was the first level-seven supreme powerhouse after the historical gap, followed by him, Meng Han, and Lei Hong.

‘Could it be that whatever it was was from the time before the gap in history? Even then, according to the Void Elder, even powerhouses could only leave remnants of their souls behind when disaster struck. Alas, there’s nothing about the three deadliest places in the Void Elder’s memories. Even if their names have changed, there should be some clues about it… However, there’s nothing at all. If there’s such a powerful existence in that place, it’s impossible that the Void Elder knew nothing about it…’

Duan Ling Tian was lost in his thoughts at this moment.

‘If the Asura Hell is so dangerous, then how dangerous are God’s Grave and the Bottomless Abyss, which are even more dangerous?’

‘Hmm… What’s the ranking of the three deadliest places based on? Why are God’s Grave and the Bottomless Abyss ranked ahead of the Asura Hell? Even a World supreme powerhouse was seriously injured moments after entering that place… If you ask me, that sounds like the deadliest place…’

Duan Ling Tian expressed his thoughts to Feng Qing Yang, and Feng Qing Yang was similarly puzzled.

In the end, the duo went to look for Xiao Mu Bai, who was very knowledgeable, again. Although he was much younger than the other Lords of the God Defying World, he was the son of the World supreme powerhouse of the God Defying World after all.

…

Upon hearing the duo’s question, Xiao Mu Bai smiled and said, “Actually, the places were ranked by my father. The Asura Hell is ranked third simply because of that one mist-shrouded place. However, in the Bottomless Abyss, there are two mist-shrouded places. As for God’s Grave, there are six of such places.”

Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yan nodded. As it turned out, the ranking was based on this.

Feng Qing Yang frowned and asked, “How does your father know that the other eight places are as dangerous as the one in the Asura Hell?”

Xiao Mu Bai’s father was seriously injured after going to that place in the Asura Hell. After that, he died when he faced the once-in-10,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. It stood to reason that he did not visit the other eight places. Otherwise, he might not even be alive to face the Heavenly Tribulation.
