Chapter 1018: Primordial Hell [Bonus]
“This is Gaap, lord of the Primordial Hell Tower,” the white bearded man said, introducing the tattooed-faced man to Kent.
“Pleasure meeting you, Gaap.”
“Pleasure is all mine, human,” Gaap grinned, looking at Kent like how a predator looks at their prey.
“Gaap here will be taking you to the only place you will step in this place,” the white-bearded man grinned, and then waved his hand, manifesting a tower. His tower has seven levels, and it seems to be connected by some invisible force.
“This is the Primordial Hell Tower. It has seven levels, each housing a High Grade Primordial flame known as the Seven Primordial Hell flames.
Since you are here for Primordial Flames, I saw it best to point you in the right direction. Or what do you think…Am I doing too much?” A mocking smile on his face.
However, instead of frowning, Kent smirked, “I think you have done just right.” He gave the white bearded man the ’I will not give you the satisfaction you seek’ look, causing Gaap to burst out laughing.
“Nicely done, kid. I think you might just have some hell in you. Maybe you are the right person for this trial.”
Kent smiled, and the white bearded man chuckled. “It is always like this, arrogance before you meet what awaits you.”
“Old Man, stop scaring the kid. After all, they are all Tier 19 level warrior flames. With his abilities, I am sure he wouldn’t die until he meets Zariel, the Tormentor. I am sure he and the Primordial Agony Flame will have a nice chat.”
Gaap said, accompanied by a laughter that caused Kent to frown.
’These two are colluding; however, it seems they are hiding something.’ Kent thought, then he asked.
“What do I get after defeating them?”
Both the white-bearded man and Gaap looked at him strangely, then burst out laughing resoundingly…
After laughing for a couple of minutes, they calmed down, and Gaap spoke.
“If, and this is a rather big if, but if you somehow manage to miraculously worm your way to the seventh floor and defeat Drazhul, then you will have two choices in the form of doors.
The left door leads to the Primordial Flame farm, where you get to pick as many dormant Primordial flames as you want. However, if you were to take the right, you would be taken to Hell road, where you must walk its treacherous path to damnation.
Nobody has ever returned from there…Point of correction: Nobody who used my Hell Road gate has ever returned.
However, to paint you a picture, so you don’t at least throw your life away, listen attentively because I won’t repeat myself.”
Kent looked at the white-bearded man, who seemed to be relishing the conversation he was having with Gap.
“The hell road is a literal road in hell where every step of the way requires bloodshed. If you were to enter through my gate, it would take you to the 6th road, where you will have to walk through the realm of the fallen Angel Bliz.
Of course, because you entered from a high world, his strength will be at the peak of the Heavenly Ascension stage, but he will fight with the experience of a demi-god.
Naturally, you shouldn’t even think that far ahead. After all, right after entering the hell road, you must first traverse the Sixth Primordial Hell flames sea, known famously as the six flames of hell…
I wouldn’t count on you traversing that sinister flame sea. So to make matters easy for you, take the path to your left, after all, you are here for primordial flames, right?”
“I will think of that when I get there,” Kent smiled, “But I have a question.”
“Ask”
“Do I only have 30 days to kill the seven hell flames and walk the hell road?”
Both Gaap and the white-bearded man looked at Kent, stunned. The way he sounded, it was like he had already made his choice, which baffled them.
Nobody in their right mind would dare challenge the seven hell flames. But since they are forcing it on him, they could sigh at that.
However, hearing him make the decision to walk the hell road, even asking about the duration, they couldn’t help but wonder if he had gone insane.
“Don’t look at me like that, Old man. I am here for a reason, and you know it, so answer my question. How long do I have since the pill Ascension realm closes in 30 days?”
“A day here is 10 years there. So if you were to enter now, you will have 300 years to kill Bliz.” Gaap answered, his usual smile missing from his face.
Kent smiled, “Then what are we waiting for? Send me to the Primordial Hell Tower pronto.”
Kent stood up and stretched, “I need a challenge, and since one has presented itself to me, I can only thank you two.”
“Sage, you must be careful,” the white bearded man said, sounding more concerned, “Like Gaap said, no one had ever returned from hell using the gate to the sixth level of hell. Do you really want to go there?”
Kent turns to the white-bearded man and smiles. “A wise man once said, You never know until you try it.” He laughed and then added,
“I was born crazy, Old man. The me you knew was just a part of me that I never had the chance to express, but now I am back to my complete self, and even after many reincarnation cycles, I can tell I am still the same crazy person.
So let me be crazy. Who knows, I might just become the sixth lord of hell in 30 days’ time.”
’There are many fairies waiting for me, hoping to spend eternity with me. If I were to die suddenly, that would break them. So I must change my fate, and if going to hell and back is the way, then that is what I will do.’
Kent sighs and looks at Gaap, “Take me to my destiny, buddy.”
Gaap nodded and waved his hand, sending both himself and Kent to the entrance of Primordial Hell Tower.
“This is where I stop. Good luck, kid,” Gaap said, and Kent nodded.
“Thank you, Gaap. See you later,” Kent said with a smile as he stepped into the tower.

Meanwhile, back in the Pill Ascension Tower, the white-bearded man looked at Kent as he stepped into the tower with a complex expression.
“The person I knew was calculative and super intelligent for his own good, but never this crazy.” He sighs and then waves his hand, manifesting a screen which shows Kent step into the tower.
“It is as if he had already anticipated this and came to a conclusion before I even made my plans known. However, if he manages to defeat all seven hell flames, I will be grateful.
After all, in 300 years, if they aren’t defeated, they will break free from my hold, and by then, this place will be reduced to ashes.
So this is a bet that must be won at all costs.”
He smiled and gently tapped the screen showing Kent…”If you can defeat all seven hell flames, then I will give you the foundation of that legendary Flame technique…as to how fate wills it, the true technique will find you”
