Chapter 1332: Unbroken Yin Fire

“Help me please, help me! I’ll pay you back!”

Ye Qing looked back. The guy with a third eye on his forehead was screaming at the top of his lungs. When Ye Qing and Papersmith turned around, he reached out and began crawling toward them. However, he was ultimately unable to leave the yin fire’s area.

“Not everyone can see me. Fine. I shall save your life!”

Ye Qing made a grabbing motion. He was going to save the three-eyed man without touching the yin fire.

However, the instant his force made contact with the three-eyed man, his vision darkened, and time and space warped. He abruptly found himself switching places with the three-eyed man, meaning that he was now in the yin fire, and the three-eyed man where he was standing a moment ago.

The yin fire tormenting the three-eyed man disappeared instantly.

“Hahaha... thank you, good guy.”

The three-eyed man barked out in laughter and broke into a run immediately. “Remember, don’t be a good guy in your next life.”

“You are courting death!”

Enraged, Papersmith unleashed a palm strike at the three-eyed man.

Papersmith was a Sage, so his enraged strike was terrifying to put it mildly. The world within a hundred meters of him was shattered in an instant.

“A Sage?”

The three-eyed man was stunned. He never thought that a Sage would be among the people he offended. What on earth was a Sage doing in this heaven forsaken place anyway, and how was he so unlucky as to offend one? Alas, it wasn’t the time to think, but to act. So what if he offended a Sage? To live, he would offend even a god or a celestial.

“Forgive me, senior! I know a way to save him!”

Papersmith’s descending palm slowed down just a little, and the third eye on the three-eyed man’s forehead opened. It fired a dark red beam that spread out and distorted the space around him including Papersmith’s force.

After successfully defending himself, the three-eyed man seized the opportunity to run away.

“Chase me, and you will miss your last chance to save him! He will die! Hahaha...”

Papersmith ignored his words though. He ran straight toward the three-eyed man.

“Are you really going to ignore your companion? He will die immediately if you waste any more time on me!”

The three-eyed man’s eyes widened in shock and terror. The reason he was doing this was to slow down the Sage with a split-second decision. Whether or not the Sage went back to rescue the young man trapped in the yin fire did not matter. Ideally, the Sage would give up on him and chase after the man trapped in the yin fire. Even if that wasn’t the case, the hesitation should buy him enough time to escape as well.

These two had clearly just arrived at Void Stomach City, but he had survived this heaven forsaken place for months already. He was much more familiar with it than these newcomers. Given just a bit more time, he was confident that he could escape even a Sage.

However, the Sage had surpassed his expectations. He ran straight toward him without even hesitating for an instant. This unexpected decision had completely ruined his plan.

The three-eyed man had one last gambit up his sleeve. His third eye opened once more as he attempted to stop the Sage with his dark red beam.

It was at this moment a paper doll appeared in front of the three-eyed man out of seemingly nowhere. It looked incredibly lifelike, and it shot the three-eyed man a cruel smile.

In fact, it wasn’t the only paper doll present. There were paper dolls surrounding from all sides.

In other words, he had been surrounded by paper dolls.

“Mercy, senior! I know a way to save him! I can save him!”

Realizing that it was impossible for him to escape, the three-eyed man immediately dropped into a sliding kneel and slammed his head against the floor.

At the same time, he felt an icy palm grabbing his shoulder.

The icy, murderous aura chilled the three-eyed man to his core and made him sigh in relief. It was because he realized that he was still breathing only because he had submitted at first notice.

“This junior was possessed by survival instincts and lost his head for a moment, senior! This junior will strive to find a way and save the other senior right now!”

“Unnecessary. It’s just some yin fire.”

It was at this moment an indifferent, scornful voice came from somewhere.

When the three-eyed man subconsciously looked, he did not see a screaming, wailing young man rolling futilely on the floor. Instead, he saw a smiling young man standing right where he was as if the sky of yin fire did not exist.

The young man waved a hand, and the yin fire that terrified them all and tormented its victims worse than death disappeared just like that. He had extinguished it so easily it was like he was brushing away from dust.

The three-eyed man’s eyes widened in disbelief. Not done yet, the young man lifted his foot and brought it down, taking a step.

An invisible shockwave washed out, and it was as if the yin fire was crushed by some sort of gigantic power. It dissipated into nothing at the same time the young man appeared right in front of him.

“What...”

To say that the three-eyed man could not believe what he was seeing would be an understatement. He literally couldn’t form any other word besides “what”.

He wouldn’t be this surprised if the young man was simply immune to the yin fire for some reason, but it should be impossible for him to leave the city entrance zone.

A powerful and terrifying restriction existed at the city entrance of Void Stomach City. No one except the Yin Horse Carriage could ignore the restriction and travel in or out as they pleased. Anyone who tried to run through the entrance was either suicidal, dreaming, or completely full of themselves.

No one who tried to charge through the restriction had ever managed to escape. Anyone foolish enough to try was destined to burn in yin fire and suffer in endless pain forever. Even death was a luxury for them. Even death was a luxury as their soul would continue to be trapped in the yin fire long after their physical body had burned to ash. The pain was eternal and unending, and salvation did not exist.

Every once in a while, a fearless newcomer would try to charge out of the Void Stomach City via brute force. The only fate that embraced was one of unending pain and horror.

This was why the entrance of Void Stomach City came to be known as the Unending Hell. It was exactly what it sounded like. It was one of the most feared places of Void Stomach City.

There was one and only one way to escape the Unending Hell, and that was another life. If someone tried to save a victim like Ye Qing had tried to save the three-eyed man just now, then they would take his place and burn forever in yin fire in his steed.

This “fair” trade taught everyone trapped in Void Stomach City that goodness as a concept did not exist in this place. Goodness, conscience, and kindness would only lead to faster death and greater suffering.

Only those who were cruel, vicious, cunning, and heartless might live to see another day.

This method only worked against newcomers who had no idea what kind of place Void Stomach City was. Anyone who stayed in Void Stomach City for even a day or two would learn not to fall for such a ruse.

The point was, the three-eyed man had survived Void Stomach City for several months straight, and he had never heard of anyone who managed to leave the restriction of the city entrance via their own power.

But today, he had witnessed a miracle with his own eyes.

Wait, does this mean he can leave Void Stomach City

without

the Yin Horse Carriage?

An ember of hope lit up in the three-eyed man’s heart.

“Watch out!”

Suddenly, the three-eyed man cried out.

It was as if the young man’s resistance had angered the yin fire. As soon as he left the city entrance zone, the yin fire actually poured out of the city entrance and transformed into a sea of world annihilating flames.

Countless souls seemed to be trapped within the sea of flame. Some of them were screaming in pain, some of them looked violent and angry, and all of them were overflowing with resentment. They looked like they would devour the young man whole.

This had never happened before. In the past, the yin fire had never gone beyond the city entrance.
