Of the 16 Hell Diagrams, there were malevolent ghosts that ripped out the tendons and plucked the bones of others; there were black crows that pecked at one's heart and liver; boiling oil that burned one till there was nobody left as well as cruel punishments such as brain hoops, pulling of tongues and teeth…

There were gigantic bees, ants, hounds, scorpions and even purple snakes…

Every Hell Diagram was completely different.

Different environments, terrain and living beings of Hell.

The only similarity was that the cultivators and living beings that fell into it would endure immense pain and torture. They would either undergo cruel torment, torn apart or eaten by the living beings of Hell—none of them had good endings!

Although the drawings of the 16 diagrams were simple, they vividly displayed the sinisterness of Hell.

While the Martial Dao Prime Body had not experienced the many scenes inside personally, he could still sense the struggles and pain of many living beings through the diagrams.

It was extremely difficult to leave any marks on the hard rock ground—it was clear that the painter of the diagrams was capable.

The Martial Dao Prime Body felt that something was amiss.

However, he was worried about Yan Beichen and his emotions were in a mess, unable to figure it out.

"Could Avici have 16 different regions?"

Heavenly Wolf followed behind the Martial Dao Prime Body and said thoughtfully after looking at the 16 Hell Diagrams.

The Martial Dao Prime Body fell into deep thought in silence.

"Strange."

Heavenly Wolf circled around the corpse of Emperor Bo Xun before saying, "These 16 Hell Diagrams were drawn around my old master's corpse. Could there be a deeper meaning to it?"

The Martial Dao Prime Body's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly asked, "When you guys fell here initially, you didn't see these 16 Hell Diagrams?"

"Of course not."

Heavenly Wolf shook his head instinctively.

Suddenly, the Martial Dao Prime Body thought of a possibility and his expression changed beneath the silver mask!

Instantly, it was as though his heart was gripped by an invisible hand and he could not breathe!

The Martial Dao Prime Body was silent for a moment before asking slowly, "Who… drew the 16 Hell Diagrams?"

"How would I know?"

Heavenly Wolf replied without a second thought.

He had yet to comprehend what the Martial Dao Prime Body was implying.

"I drew them."

Another voice sounded. It was calm and gentle, neither loud nor soft.

That was not the voice of the Martial Dao Prime Body or Heavenly Wolf.

There was a third living person in the empty hall!

Furthermore, that voice came from beside them!

Psst!

Instantly, Heavenly Wolf felt a chill run down his spine and his fur stood on end. His mouth was agape and his eyes were filled with fear as he trembled—he seemed to have thought of the most terrifying thing in the world!

The Martial Dao Prime Body had already expected this earlier on. However, when he heard the third voice, he still felt goosebumps all over and his heart skipped a beat!

He turned around slowly and looked in the direction of Emperor Bo Xun's corpse.

Heavenly Wolf turned around as well, his eyes filled with fear.

Although it was a simple action, it was extremely difficult for Heavenly Wolf. His flesh seemed to have stiffened and could not be controlled.

The withered corpse that sat in a lotus position raised its head slowly. The long hair on its forehead slid to the sides gradually, revealing a skinny face.

The face did not look old. Based on age, he merely looked middle-aged. He had no beard and his features were handsome with clear eyes.

Although his clothes were tattered and his hair was disheveled, his face had a dignified expression. The first impression he gave off was that he was an accomplished monk with profound Buddhism.

The middle-aged man's gaze was gentle and he had a smile on his face, as though it could calm one down.

Even so, Heavenly Wolf was already so scared that his entire body went limp. His limbs were stuck tightly to the ground as he shivered and lowered his head, not even daring to meet the middle-aged man's gaze.

"O-Old master…"

Heavenly Wolf's voice trembled slightly as he stuttered over the two simple words.

It was only at that moment that the Martial Dao Prime Body truly confirmed that the middle-aged man was Emperor Bo Xun of the past!

However, he had not expected that after so many years, Emperor Bo Xun was still alive after being sent to Avici by more than 20 Emperors!

When the Martial Dao Prime Body realized that Emperor Bo Xun might still be alive, his first reaction was that Heavenly Wolf had set a trap to lure him here.

However, on second thought, Heavenly Wolf was extremely resistant to Avici and did not want to return at all.

Furthermore, from Heavenly Wolf's current reaction, it could be deduced that he knew nothing about it as well!

Otherwise, Heavenly Wolf would not have been scared to such an extent.

Against the legendary Emperor Bo Xun, a resurrected Emperor expert, it was impossible for him to not feel fear.

Right now, the Martial Dao Prime Body could only try his best to maintain his composure.

If Emperor Bo Xun wanted to kill him, he would definitely be powerless to resist.

Thankfully, Emperor Bo Xun did not seem as frightening as he had imagined and was far from the image of the fiend depicted in the legends.

"You're Seven Emotions, right?"

Emperor Bo Xun said softly.

Back then, the Seven Emotions Fiend King turned into a Weapon Spirit. In this generation, he was reborn with the help of the Heavenly Wolf body and was recognized by Emperor Bo Xun with a single glance!

"Y-Yes! It's me!"

Heavenly Wolf replied with a trembling voice.

"You called me old master earlier on. Does that mean you already have a new master?"

Emperor Bo Xun asked with a smile, seemingly not enraged.

Heavenly Wolf shuddered.

Although Emperor Bo Xun was smiling, Heavenly Wolf was so scared that he was about to cry!

"O-Old master, I thought that you were already dead, so…"

Heavenly Wolf's voice was slightly teary as he explained hurriedly, "If I knew that you were still alive, I would definitely not betray you and look for another master!"

"It's nothing."

Emperor Bo Xun waved it off gently and smiled. "It's your fortune to be able to regain your freedom and cultivate once more. How can I blame you?"

Heavenly Wolf was stunned for a moment. The fear in his eyes did not diminish at all and he sprawled on the ground obediently, not daring to move.

"You're the current master of Seven Emotions, right?"

Emperor Bo Xun shifted his gaze towards the Martial Dao Prime Body and asked with a smile.

"Yes."

The Martial Dao Prime Body hesitated for a moment before nodding and bowing. "Greetings, senior. I'm Desolate Martial."

"There's no need for formalities."

Emperor Bo Xun nodded slightly with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "You're able to withstand the power of the six desires of the Ji Du Saber at such a young age. The younger generation sure is promising."

"It's not a disgrace to Seven Emotions' background to be able to follow you."

The Martial Dao Prime Body was stunned.

The Emperor Bo Xun before him was more like an elder with a benevolent expression. There was no hint of violence in him, only a gentle gaze and a magnanimous heart.

If he did not know the identity of this person, the Martial Dao Prime Body would have thought that the person before him was an accomplished monk of the Buddhist monasteries!

Heavenly Wolf sprawled at the side and stole a glance at the Martial Dao Prime Body with fear in his eyes.

There were countless things he wanted to say. However, with Emperor Bo Xun by his side, he did not dare to act rashly or harbor any funny thoughts!
