The door that led to the First Realm of Hell showed itself grandiosely to the many crowding beings seeing it for the first time.
The beings in the sh.i.p.s that were getting closer to the gateway were able to see many interstellar sh.i.p.s already stationed a few miles around the flaming door, and these sh.i.p.s carried a special significance.
These were not sh.i.p.s that had just arrived like most of them, but they were already stationed here for the past hundreds of years as they acted as the first line of defense to monitor this gateway which could bring them into the First Realm of Hell, but it could also take terrible beings out of this realm as well.
These were various beings from world powers under the agreement to battle against the Infernals, some being stationed here for years as they carried out their jobs as guards and protectors!
The many sh.i.p.s coming in stopped at sufficient distance as they came to a standstill, waiting for the start of a grandiose event.
Elder Spacewarp's vibrant essence erupted out in the Interstellar Warship as he took the center of attention, the many awed disciples turning their gazes towards his as he began to speak.
"What lies before us is the Gateway to the First Realm of Hell, a terrible world that is the birthplace of many of the Infernals you have to come to learn about."
His voice reverberated throughout the ship as he continued.
"Once you pass through this Gateway, you will be transported to a random location in the First Realm of Hell, this being something that none of us can control."
The Elder waved his hands as he was speaking, bringing to their eyes an assortment of colorful medallions in the thousands that began shooting out from him and towards the many disciples all around.
"What we can control though, is your exit. These Infernal Medallions are creations from the resources we have gained in the Realms of Hell over the years, and they allow for the immediate teleportation of anyone that activates it. For now, attach them to your identity medals and mark them with your name, and the name of our sect. Only use these precious medallions if you find yourselves in dire situations where you might lose your life."
His strong words resounded as the disciples took hold of these medallions as if they were another lifeline, using essence to inscribe their names and 'Profound Astral Sect' before putting them in their bags of holdings as they continued to listen.
"The medallions will react to your unique signature and also act as a scorekeeper for the fun aspect of this hunt, allowing us to distinguish which of you is performing the best in the Infernal Hunt."
Elder Spacewarp waved his hands as a red light shone from the medallions, acting like string as it all came towards him, and he redirected it to the space outside of the Interstellar Warship as the disciples turned to see similar red lights shooting from the many sh.i.p.s that were now stationed around the humongous flaming gateway.
These red lines from a multitude of sh.i.p.s all came together as they converged on one particularly exquisite interstellar ship that was near the center, causing a blinding light to shimmer as the collection of red lines were all put together, and then projected above the ship as an extremely clear image of hundreds of thousands of names of beings from various powers were displayed.
Elder Spacewarp continued to speak inside the ship.
"These Infernal Medallions make it so that every single power here will know exactly which disciples are excelling the most in this hunt, so make your sect proud as you take down the most powerful and most numerous Infernals that you can come across!"
OOOOH!!!
The disciples shouted with vigor as they heard the motivating words, the Elder floating in the ship as he spoke once more.
"Aside from the abundant rewards from the Profound Astral Sect itself, with the top one being the discernment of the Absolute Space Technique with the help of any Elder proficient in it, you will find that the recognition received by the powerful figures watching this Infernal Hunt to be even more useful for your future cultivation!"
OOOOH!
"Furthermore, the Infernals themselves have unique origins that when defeated, their essence will be absorbed into your bodies as they directly increase your comprehension and cultivation realm, so use this to your advantage and take down as many as possible. But…"
The voice of Elder Spaceward turned serious as he captured the attention of every disciple around him.
"...the dangers are just as rampant. In this First Realm of Hell, no beings above the Void Fimerment realm are allowed to enter, with the Realm rejecting anyone that tries no matter their power. But this means...that you might find Void Fimerment Realm Infernals in this First Realm of Hell, so do not hesitate to use your medallion and save your life if ever you come across them. The rewards can only be enjoyed by you all if you keep your lives, so make that your first and foremost priority!"
OOOH!
The disciples roared their assertions as a burst of energy erupted from a few central sh.i.p.s surrounding the gateway, the energy coalescing in the form of a resplendently colored road that went to directly come in contact with the flaming door in space.
A thin transparent dome formed around this roadway as other smaller roads began to shoot from the surrounding Interstellar Warsh.i.p.s and come in contact with it, forming numerous amount of paths where the disciples of the Profound Astral Sect could already see beings move across.
"Go forth, and make the Sect proud."
Elder Spacewarp released his own power in conjunction with the other Elders at the Void Fimerment Realm as another roadway formed from the ship they were on and connected to the main one that came into contact with the gateway that led towards the First Realm of Hell.
The disciples began going through the mystical roadway across space as they did not feel the suffocating pressure of the void around them, the power of Void Rank beings being so colossally powerful that something like forming an isolated path in space not being an issue when many of them worked together.
The disciples from the numerous connection roads soon found themselves on the main rainbow-colored roadway that led toward the flaming door as their eyes looked forth in excitement.
Many of them turned to stare at the huge projection above them with showed tens of thousands of names, all currently showing 0 points next to them as they wondered, just who would come out on top on this exciting Infernal Hunt?
Would it be the powerful disciples of their sect, or would it be someone else entirely?
Around them, beings of various races congregated towards the same path as many of them could see extremely different phenotypes all around. Beings made of flesh and bones, others made of stones and steel, others made of shining light with even more covered in darkness.
All of these beings from a wide variety of races came together as their gaze was only towards one thing.
Fear, trepidation, and excitement all mixed in a wide assortment of feelings as the disciples and trainees of powerful forces amassed and went towards the flaming door that led towards the First Realm of Hell.
