50,000 years ago, Hell was destroyed because of too much Foul from the resentment of the souls that later turned to Soul Eaters and devoured everything in their wake, leaving nothing of Hell.

Yi Bing just snorted and looked away. "Do you know who was Ten's childhood friend that he fell in love with?" he asked.
Huo Ling looked at him. "Who?" he asked.
"His name is 'Sam'." Yi Bing answered as he looked at him.
