SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Hell Star can be said to be one of the most dangerous trial grounds on this imperial road.

Among the geniuses who can come out alive, not even one in ten survives.

But even so, countless geniuses continue to venture in one after another.

Because in Hell Star, there's a chance to find celestial essence that can condense immortal energy.

Moreover, if one is luckier and finds a celestial essence vein, it would be considered a heaven-defying opportunity, leading to complete prosperity.

Of course, celestial essence veins are extremely rare, and generally located in the depths of Hell Star. If you're not a genius powerhouse, rashly venturing deep inside is basically equivalent to suicide.

"Next, I will tell you some rules about Hell Star. Listen carefully, and don't blame me if you can't protect your lives later," the commander said.

"Hell Star has eighteen layers from the surface to the depths. Of course, besides these, there is an additional layer, the nineteenth layer, which I'm sure you've heard about," the commander continued.

"The nineteenth layer of Hell Star, could it be the legendary..." a genius seemed to recall something, his face turning pale with fear.

"That's right, one of the seven inconceivables, the nineteenth layer of Hell Star is absolutely not a place you can enter."

"However, in the past, the nineteenth layer of Hell Star generally wouldn't open, but this time it might be different."

The commander's words made all the geniuses in the arena wear unprecedented grave expressions.

"One of the seven inconceivables, the nineteenth layer of Hell Star..." Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly realized that the Hell's nineteenth layer mentioned in the seven inconceivables referred to the nineteenth layer of Hell Star.

As everyone knows, Hell has eighteen layers.

So the nineteenth layer has profound implications, and no one knows what's inside.

Because those who went in never came out alive.

The commander continued: "Let's not talk about the nineteenth layer. As long as you don't court death, just don't go in."

"As for the remaining eighteen layers, with each layer you descend, there will be a domain suppressing one-tenth of your abilities."

"For example, the first six layers suppress your physical body. Each layer you descend will place restrictive shackles on your physical body, suppressing one-tenth of your power."

"By the time you reach the sixth layer, your physical strength will only have four-tenths of its power left."

"After descending another six layers, there are restrictions on magical power, similar to physical strength. When you enter the twelfth layer, your magical power will also be reduced to four-tenths."

"The final six layers suppress your primordial spirit. If you can reach the eighteenth layer, your primordial spirit power will likewise be reduced to four-tenths."

"In other words, if you descend to the bottom layer, all aspects of your abilities will be reduced to four-tenths."

The commander's words silenced all the geniuses in the arena, who swallowed hard.

"This... with only four-tenths of our strength left, how can we fight?"

"Exactly, Hell Star is already dangerous. With only four-tenths of our strength remaining, isn't that suicide?"

Many geniuses felt this was no different from walking to their deaths.

"Who told you to go down to the eighteenth layer? If your abilities aren't enough, stay in the upper layers. If you're truly afraid, you can withdraw," the commander said coldly.

These geniuses secretly gritted their teeth, unwilling to give up.

If they retreated out of fear, it would greatly impact their determination.

"Sigh, perhaps only the powerhouses and the Jun family's divine son have the qualifications to venture deep," some geniuses glanced at Jun Xiaoyao.

They were curious whether Jun Xiaoyao truly had the ability to reach the eighteenth layer of Hell Star.

"Alright, prepare yourselves. It should open in a few days."

After the commander finished speaking, his gaze turned to Jun Xiaoyao, Jade Buddha Son, Void Sword Son, and Sea God Third Prince. Then he waved his hand, and four streams of light fell toward them.

"This is..." Jun Xiaoyao reached out to catch it and found it was a jade talisman.

"This jade talisman can resist Hell Star's domain restrictions for a quarter of an hour."

"That means, for a quarter of an hour, no matter which layer you're in, you can fully exert your complete strength," the commander said.

"What? There's such a good thing?"

When the other geniuses heard this, their eyes flashed with brilliance.

This jade talisman was practically a life-saving charm in critical moments.

"Commander, where are our jade talismans?" a genius asked respectfully.

"Yours?" The commander glanced at him indifferently. "There aren't any."

"How can this be? This isn't fair!" Many geniuses protested.

"If you had their talent, strength, family background, you could ask me for one. If not, then stop complaining," the commander waved dismissively, no longer paying attention.

All the geniuses had ugly expressions.

This was the privileged class.

But they couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

Sea God Third Prince was the prince of the Sea King Ancient Star Domain. Behind Void Sword Son was Void Sword Venerable, a famous supreme powerhouse.

Jade Buddha Son was backed by the Immortal Ancient Sect's Small Western Heaven.

As for Jun Xiaoyao...

That was even more impressive, with the most illustrious background among the four, backed by two ancient families.

Which of the present geniuses could have such a background?

And they didn't even know that Jun Xiaoyao was the lord of the Jun Imperial Court. If they knew, they would be even more shocked.

Jun Xiaoyao was practically the epitome of power and authority. Only he dared to disregard the imperial road's rules, and no one dared to punish him.

"Damned privileged class..." some geniuses secretly gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.

This was reality.

"Exerting full strength for a quarter of an hour, not bad."

Jun Xiaoyao wasn't polite and directly put it away.

Fairness and justice were just things to deceive children.

Only a fool wouldn't take advantage when offered.

The next few days were peaceful, with nothing happening.

Jade Buddha Son and others also showed restraint, not causing trouble for Jun Xiaoyao.

However, it was clear that once they entered Hell Star, intense battles would erupt.

Finally, after about seven or eight days.

The distant Hell Star began to tremble again. Various resentment, hatred, and other negative emotions boiled, seemingly transforming into tangible blood mist.

Even though the arena was some distance from Hell Star, all the geniuses could feel that sense of dread.

At this moment, some geniuses began to waver, developing thoughts of retreat.

"Alright, the teleportation array will open. After you enter, you'll be randomly teleported to various corners of Hell Star."

The commander appeared and activated the arena's teleportation array.

Jun Xiaoyao, Mu Yuehan, Golden-Winged Peng King, and others appeared.

Jade Buddha Son, Void Sword Son, and others also showed up.

Sea God Third Prince looked at Jun Xiaoyao with a sinister gaze.

Jun Xiaoyao remained calm, completely ignoring any gazes.

"Let's go." Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward, being the first to enter the teleportation array.

One move affects the whole situation. The other geniuses also entered the teleportation array one after another.

Jin Guxuan, Qing Hong, Hong Ling, the black-robed figure, and others also entered.

Of course, not all geniuses had this courage; some remained behind.

Nine-Headed Lion and Kong Xuan were also left behind, not entering Hell Star.

"Master, you must teach that hairy baldy a lesson!" Nine-Headed Lion roared.

"Impossible, my Buddha Son is truly invincible!" Kong Xuan retorted.
