Perhaps, there is indeed a limit to how strong a person should be in a high world.

To maintain fairness, everyone must be limited to a specific strength level.

However, someone who is a True Primordial, who also has a bloodline even stronger than Celestial grade, and has a way to keep growing even if he doesn't ascend to a high world to break his limits... then the concepts of limitations don't apply to him.

Kent had proven time and time again that when it comes to limitations, he has no issue with them.

Now, he has proven to everyone that he is not someone to be underestimated.

All six City Lords were on their knees, and the Hell King was kneeling on one leg, his sword driven into the ground for support.

Meanwhile, Kent stood back, his expression showing he wasn't satisfied.

'So it seems my bloodline power is much more powerful than I expected. Just 20%, and it is already this amazing. Then I wonder what will become of me when I reach 25% and can turn into my full dragon form.'

Kent smiled.

Just thinking about what kind of monster he would become after he turned into a full dragon made him want to face Empyreans, life and death stage warriors, next.

He is strong, and now it has become clear as day that he has to think about the realm beyond the High Worlds. He wanted to brave the immortal worlds.

'However, I am still weak. I need to become a Spirit King first before thinking about that. If what I saw in Jest's memories was any indication of how strong Immortals are, then I still need to become stronger.'

Kent nodded to himself, already planning his next move after this adventure in hell.

"This is really a bummer. For a group of Immortal Lords and a Demigod to struggle against me, who is just a mere Core Formation kid... what a disappointment."

Kent sighed, his disdainful expression taking over.

Of course, it had to be noted that the people he fought with were much more powerful than they actually were now. They had the means to kill him ten thousand times over. However, because of the laws, he was now looking down on them.

All those who heard what he said started calling him shameless for thinking he was superior. Kent didn't mind them, for he knew if these seven people currently suppressed under his bloodline were even to be allowed to use the strength of Empyreans, he would die for sure...

But then again, he had already proven that seven levels were not impossible for him.

"I wanted this to be fun, so I limited myself, held back my punches, and even decided to slow myself down to make up for your lack of strength and speed. However, now that we are here, I might as well end things.

We can have a good battle if we meet again. But today, you seven are as good as dead."

Kent snapped his fingers, and ten thin swords appeared and flashed through the air, leaving holes in their heads. Not even a single one of them had the chance to dodge.

Kent had already proven to them that under his bloodline, not even a Demigod could move.

"You know, when I was alive in the outside world, I had heard of some people who hail from the Great and Legacies Supreme High World families. They said their combat power rivals even Death Stage warriors.

If that is true, then I want to watch a battle between them and this monster," a demon said, his expression calm, though the shock in his eyes said it all.

"I actually want to watch a battle between him and an Immortal... Can he contend with an Immortal?"

"Don't be ridiculous. As strong as he is, he is still not even close to defeating an Empyrean. We both know what happens to cultivators when they break past the Heavenly Ascension stage.

He is strong, but not on that level yet."

"Sorry, I guess I was just too happy and excited to see a more amazing battle."

"No need to apologize. This kid has proven to everyone that he is at the peak of a High World while only at the Core Formation stage. I wonder what will become of him once he reaches the Heavenly Ascension stage."

Just like that, everyone started wondering many things, some even willing to pay anything to see Kent fight an Immortal.

Naturally, they have now recognized the kind of monster he turned out to be, and now that they have seen him in action, they want more.

However, the ending to everything came much faster.

Five minutes after the battle, the Hell Monarch personally appeared in the arena...

"Looks like we have a new Hell King, everyone." They hated Kent's arrogance, but they respected his strength, so they cheered.

"From today onwards, the Blood Reaper will be our new Hell King. He has demonstrated his strength and battle experience, so we both can attest that he will make a fine Hell King."

"However, because he has to leave, I will be allowing him to pick someone to rule in his place. One day, when he is done adventuring, he will come back to take his rightful throne."

Hearing this, everyone became shocked.

Killing a Hell King means becoming a Hell King. You stay and rule, for that is the rule.

Never in billions of years had anyone ever become a Hell King and let someone rule for them. This was their first time, so they couldn't handle it.

But none dared question the Hell Monarch.

"Know that in my bid to limit the bloodshed that would have happened if he were allowed to challenge the cities, I had to compromise somehow. Of course, I know what you all are wondering...

Know that, because of how delicate this situation is, for the next 5.7 million years, no one is allowed to challenge the Sixth Level Hell King.

After the 5.7-million-year limit is up, you will all have a chance to have a go at him. But for today, let us celebrate our new Hell King and his substitute."

Kent smiled, hearing what the Hell Monarch said. If he goes back to the future, that is 3.7 million years gone. However, now he has 2 million years — roughly 23 years in the real world and 553 years inside the tower — to reach a level that even Demigods will fear before considering challenging him.

The Hell Monarch even chose not to use Kent's real name in order not to put eyes on him.

"I will let the Blood Reaper reveal his substitute Hell King."

Kent smiled and thanked the Hell Monarch. "This is really a bummer, but I have to leave. That said, I will be picking a capable substitute to rule in my absence.

Everyone, welcome Bilad Juim Calosh II..."

Bilad walked onto the stage, causing the demons from the underworld who knew him to widen their eyes.

"Isn't this the troublemaker who always follows that bitch Nyx around like a dog..."

"Shhhhhhhh... I was told he killed an Immortal Lord 34,000 years ago to save someone. He is not simple, so don't lose your head because you couldn't keep your big mouth shut."

Another demon added...

"Think about it, if he is weak, why would this person choose him as his substitute to rule Hell for him? I am no brain lord, but I can think of a few reasons..."
