"What's this Demon's Land? Why have I never heard of you demons from this place in the Absolute
Space Sea? Can someone explain this to me?"
Austin asked them.
"Sir, the demon race of our Demon's Land is not allowed to leave this place, no matter what. Maybe
that's the reason why you've never met any of us out there,"
a demon who seemed to be one of their leaders said to Austin respectfully.
He could tell that the human in front of him was immensely powerful, so he addressed Austin as sir to
show his respect for him. He didn't want to provoke him since they didn't know if they could handle him.
"Oh? Is that so?
But why?"
Austin asked him.
Ever since Austin entered the Absolute Space Sea, he had never encountered any demon on his way.
So, Austin assumed that the demon race only existed in the Sea of Chaos.
But now he just so happened to stumble upon the Demon's Land and found all these demons.
"To be honest, we don't know either, sir.
This is the rule that has been passed down from generation to generation. We didn't bother to question
it since it had been like that way before our time.
But if you really want to know the answer to your question, you can ask our demon lords. The demon
lords might know something about this,"
the demon replied.
"Oh? What's that?
A demon lord?
Tell me, what is a demon lord?"
Austin asked again.
"Our Demon's Land has twelve layers in total, and each layer has a designated demon lord.
The demon lord acts as the supreme ruler of each layer. So, naturally, the demon lords are powerful
and knowledgeable. There are a lot of things that the demon lords know but we do not, so if you have
any questions you probably should ask our demon lords,"
the demon explained.
"Huh, that's interesting. Do you know what these demon lords cultivation base are?"
Austin asked again.
If the demon lords that this demon was talking about were gods of chaos, then Austin could only turn
around and run away. He was still no match for a god of chaos and he didn't want to risk encountering
one again.
"The strength of our demon lords varies. Just like in any hierarchy, those at the higher layers are
stronger and more powerful than those at the lower layers.
The demon lords of the first to sixth layers are all level-eight governing gods.
While the demon lords of the seventh to the twelfth layers are level-nine governing gods,"
the demon replied.
"I see."
Austin nodded. Since the demon lords were not gods of chaos, he decided that he could search and
explore these layers.
"Are there any gods of chaos in the Demon's Land?"
Austin asked the question that concerned him most.
"Well, it's rumored that there is a demon ancestor in our Demon's Land.
And that demon ancestor is said to be a god of chaos.
However, no one has actually seen him ever.
So, we have no idea if there is really a demon ancestor in our Demon's Land.
Some say that the demon ancestor does not exist at all,
and that it's just a legend passed down to us from the ancient times,"
the demon explained.
"If that's the case, there's a chance that there is a god of chaos in the Demon's Land! Even if it's just a
legend, we still have to consider it."
Both Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast were shocked at this information.
"I wonder if there are any fragments of the road of reincarnation in this Demon's Land.
We must find out as soon as possible. I suggest we search each layer carefully.
And if we don't find any fragments, we must leave right away. I don't want to risk encountering a god of
chaos,"
the chaotic sky-devouring beast said.
"Okay, I'm with you.
Since there might be a god of chaos in this land, let's be careful.
But we don't have to be afraid.
If we're left with no choice, I can activate the teleportation rune and we can escape this place right
away,"
Austin reassured him.
He withdrew his world of mind power, and then used his bodily movement skills and left with the chaotic
sky-devouring beast.
"Oh, that was totally frightening. It's a relief that they finally left!"
The demons breathed a huge sigh of relief after Austin and the beast left.
Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast put too much pressure on them that they almost couldn't
handle it.
"Let's report it to our superior right away.
Those two are not from our race. They must have broken in from the outside world,"
a demon said.
"Yes, the superior needs to know what happened here.
In my opinion, those two both looked very vicious. I'm afraid that they came here with bad intentions!
We must stop them as soon as possible.
So, let's go now and report this matter,"
the other demons proposed one after the other.
After they set off,
Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast searched the first layer of the Demon's Land. They
inspected every single corner but didn't find any fragments of the road of reincarnation.
Old Lady Meng used to be one of the gods guarding the road of reincarnation. She was extremely
sensitive to its aura. So, once she entered any new space, she could easily perceive if there were any
fragments of the road of reincarnation.
After searching the first layer, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast came straight to the second
layer of the Demon's Land.
But after searching for a while, they didn't find anything there either.
Next, they went to the third layer, then the fourth layer, and so on and so forth.
They searched each layer rigorously for the fragments, trying their best not to miss anything.
Then, Austin easily reached the twelfth layer without any hindrances except for the occasional conflicts
with some demons.
"I have a strange feeling about this. We two are outsiders, so those demons should be on guard. They
should have come out to stop us and question us, especially those demon lords.
They are not weak at all, so they should have discovered us the moment we set foot on the first layer.
But we didn't see them anywhere."
Austin was confused by this.
But they didn't worry about it and continued to search every part of the Demon's Land.
"We're already at the twelfth and final layer."
They stood on a hill and looked around the twelfth layer.
The whole place was filled with an evil aura, and the air in this place gave them a bizarre feeling.
They also noticed that everything was black in this place, the soil on the ground and even the river.
"Eh?
Look over there. What's that?"
The chaotic sky-devouring beast was a little surprised when he noticed a huge space crack in the
distance.
"That crack is a transmission channel,"
Austin said after unleashing his spiritual sense to check what it was.
"I can sense the aura of the road of reincarnation in that transmission channel!
I'm guessing there must be fragments of the road of reincarnation at the other end!"
Old Lady Meng suddenly said to them.
"No way! That's incredible! It looks like what we've been searching for is right there!
I didn't know that there were pieces of the road of reincarnation even in such a remote place."
Austin couldn't believe it at all.
"Well, let's go and have a look then.
We can't miss any piece of the road of reincarnation. We must find them all.
Otherwise, the road of reincarnation that we will rebuild in the future will not be complete,"
Austin said after carefully thinking for a while.
With that, the two of them approached the space crack in the distance.
However,
at this exact moment...
"Look! They are right over there!
Go and catch them at once!"
In the distance, the mighty army of the demon race suddenly appeared and instantly rushed over to
surround them.
The army was a little relaxed and didn't take them seriously since there were only two of them.
Soon, the dense army of the demon race got close to Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast and
surrounded them.
Then,
twelve beams of demonic light suddenly shot over
like a tremendous lightning.
With that, twelve demons appeared in front of Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast.
Six of them were level-eight governing gods,
while the other six were level-nine governing gods.
Austin instantly knew that they were the twelve demon lords the demon was talking about a while ago!
Each of them had dark red skin and a huge body, emitting an extremely terrifying demonic aura.
"Who are you?
And why did you trespass into our Demon's Land?"
one of the demon lords asked in a low voice, intently staring at Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring
beast with his malicious eyes.
"Well, we are just passers-by.
We were wandering around the Absolute Space Sea and then came across this space sea. We haven't
seen it before, so we just casually came in to check it out,"
Austin calmly replied.
"Outsiders are not welcome in our land.
So, you must leave now,"
a demon lord told them.
"But we mean no harm to your race at all. We just wanted to explore this place. Like I said, we're just
passers-by,"
Austin replied.
"And like I said, you are not welcome here no matter what your intentions are.
Leave now,"
another demon lord said.
The twelve of them had already sensed that the strength of Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast
were extraordinary.
So, they tried their best to as polite as possible in their efforts in making them
leave.
