Nah, you'll just... kinda... reach the bottom.

I am not entirely sure, but slade outside of hell can be dug, but in hell not. At least that is what I remember, from long, long ago. (I wanted to know what happens too) ^^

Oh, it can be dug in Hell.  (and smoothed, and engraved ;) )

I bet you tried to dig in the real "bottom layer" as Putnam was saying, there must be a solid bottom eventually.  Like the solid sky I guess.

Yeah, that last layer just... stops. And congrats, I have to have a look at your epic complexity-perplexing fort again. :)

According to the wiki, the real bottom layer is somewhat below the eerie glowing pits, and will not necessarily consist of slade:
