Chapter 760: Blood Abyss
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I should be about to reach the Blood Abyss, right? I’ve already killed innumerable demons along the way!”
Fang Yuan grabbed a giant snake with a body full of eyes and swallowed it bit by bit like he was chewing sugarcane.
During these days, he had rushed forward while simultaneously refining the inferior demons, not even knowing whether the number he had swallowed was in the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
In any case, if he truly calculated battle achievements, it was nearly sufficient to pay the ‘redemption fee’ for the entire Vast Heaven Division excluding Black Dragon, much less a single Lord Mountain River.
Currently, on the surface of the Chaos Giant’s body, dark purple patterns had spread to form a suit of battle armor with decent defense. The realms below Demon Master would not even be able to penetrate this armor.
“Although existences at the Zenith Heaven or Emperor rank are sealed on the Mental Demon Battlefield, there are still a few Demon Masters at the Ancient God or Golden Immortal rank!”
Otherwise, there would not be seven Ancient Gods guarding the Heaven Palace.
“Although this purple star is vast, someone acting recklessly like me should have long attracted the attention of one or two of them… Seems like they’re settling down at one place?”
While Fang Yuan was pushing and fighting his way through, he also had thoughts of attracting the attention of Demon Masters to intercept him.
However, at the moment, he finally discovered what was wrong. “True… Someone at the Demon Master rank would be an Ancient God inside the Heavenly Court, even the Vast Heaven Division would have to be very wary if they encountered someone like that. Furthermore, some of them could form an alliance to attack the Heaven Palace. But if they lived alone, they would definitely be surrounded and killed by the military divisions, so the largest possibility is huddling together!”
Inexplicably, Fang Yuan thought of the three perilous lands.
Now, it seemed that these Demon Master had an eighty percent chance of hiding in the perilous lands and using the terrain advantage to contend with the attacks of the Heaven Palace.
“For the Celestial Thearch, his responsibility is to seal off the star and keep an eye on the seal. Demon Masters are all insignificant and can be dealt with by the Ancient Gods under him…”
Fang Yuan felt that he could somewhat understand what the Celestial Thearch was doing.
On the Mental Demon Battlefield, an endless supply of demons would still be born no matter how many he killed as long as origin power was not extinguished.
Thus, it would be better to use them as training, or perhaps cleansing and consuming the factions?
“With the abilities of the Celestial Thearch, he should be able to refine origin power. But how could he fight with the Spiritual Realm? Sigh… this is the tragedy of the Divine Dao…”
Fang Yuan let his imagination run wild before reaching at a place near the abyss.
The ground was fiery red and magma splattered in various spots, forming a dark red river.
“Bottomless Blood Abyss, I’ve arrived!”
Fang Yuan looked into the distance and saw a huge crevasse, like a wound in the earth. It stretched on endlessly and he could not tell how deep it reached.
Inside the abyss, a blood-red fog occasionally encircled the area, bringing a deep ominous feeling.
“Hmm, the elemental force here is far superior to the outside…”
Fang Yuan focused on the magma river resembling meridians as Flaming Evil Demons crawled out from the river and killed and devoured each other, their aura unceasingly enhancing.
Of course, when they saw the giant in black armor walking over, they hurriedly evaded while screeching.
“This abyss…” Fang Yuan came to the periphery of the crevasse and looked at the cliff in front. “If I exert all my strength, I can enter deep into the nucleus of the star. But it isn’t possible for me to simultaneously seal a Zenith Heaven, and even the Celestial Thearach might not be able to do it…”
Just by standing somewhere close, he could feel the horrors of the Mental Demons’ invasion at that time.
“The Celestial Thearach is also an Emperor rank and on par with the sealed existence. Could it have been a simultaneous attack with an Immortal Dao Zenith Heaven, or the support of the Spiritual Realm’s heaven’s will?”
The Spiritual Realm’s intrinsic quality was equivalent to the Mental Demon Realm’s. Although it was slightly inferior in terms of mass, with it supporting the Celestial Thearach, he would be superior by half a notch compared to an Emperor rank.
“In other words… within the Spiritual Realm, the Celestial Thearach enhanced by heaven’s will is the most powerful being!”
Fang Yuan looked at the void in the direction of the abyss with a greedy look. “If I devour all of the origin power, would I be promoted to the Emperor level?”
At this time, his expression became stunned as he looked into the abyss.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Bloody fog dispersed and a huge snake-head emerged from the dense fog. And then a second, a third… Exactly nine huge snake-heads with eyes as large as houses spat out their tongues and made hissing noises.
Rumble! Rumble!
The ground shook, and the full appearance of this life form finally appeared before Fang Yuan.
The Chaos Giant that he had morphed into was already as towering as the heavens, but he still appeared like a small child in front of this Hydra.
“Demon Master?!” Sensing the origin power aura in the other, Fang Yuan showed the hint of a smile. “Indeed… the Demon Masters of the Mental Demon Battlefield all reside within the three perilous lands…”
“Welcome, my newly ascended brethren!”
The Hydra released a loud screech as its spiritual will shook the heavens. “After thirteen years, we finally have a newly ascended Demon Master with us!”
Hmm? This Hydra seems to regard me as a local demon that evolved here?
Fang Yuan was a little astonished, but instantly understood that this was the fundamental reason for the Gods to periodically clean the Mental Demon Battlefield.
If they did not worry at all and let the Demon Spirits evolve and swallow to their hearts’ content, it would definitely become an abyss breeding many horrifying evil monsters.
“My name… Nine Heads… Hiss hiss … My brethren, tell me your name!” The Hydra continuously swallowed and spat its tongue, absorbing all the information in the sky.
“My name… Dream Demon!” A grin appeared on Fang Yuan as he said, “After becoming a Demon Master, I thought a lot and sensed immense danger, so I went to the three perilous lands to investigate.”
“Wise choice. Otherwise, once you’re discovered and tracked down, you’d definitely be surrounded and attacked by several military divisions of the Heaven Palace… Hiss hiss …” The Hydra’s nine heads were constantly tangling. “Now it seems… that the awakening of your inheritance memories weren’t too perfect…”
“Indeed, I can’t clearly see… the path afterwards!”
Fang Yuan said unperturbed, “I feel that there’s something I need here!”
“Haha!!!” The Hydra’s nine heads burst into simultaneous laughter. “The Demon Master realm is the ultimate level of inheritance… After controlling origin power, there’s no further path in front of us!”
“No… path?” Fang Yuan was shocked.
“The true path is created by ourselves… Any Demon Master who wants to break through must create a new path! Of course… in this aspect, viewing and emulating the inheritances of the Demon Gods is very useful to us!”
Demon God?!
Evidently, this was the realm above Demon Master, similar to the Divine Dao Emperor and Immortal Dao Zenith Heaven.
“I can feel that there’s a Demon God sealed within this Bottomless Blood Abyss!” Fang Yuan said.
“Right, follow me! Looking at the traces left behind by that Demon God will probably give you great enlightenment!”
The Hydra directly burrowed into the abyss, trusting Fang Yuan quite a bit.
After all, the aura of origin power could not be faked. Not to mention, what other road was there for an existence of the Mental Demon Realm in the Spiritual Realm other than being on the same side as them?
It could be said that once someone had been stained by Mental Demon power, even if they were previously not of the Mental Demon Realm, there was only one path that they could be dead set on.
Fang Yuan was dauntless and jumped into the abyss.
Zap! Zap!
Red fog instantly billowed upward and surrounded his body, starting to corrode it.
A common Demon General would definitely die once they encountered this red fog. Even a Heaven Immortal would have difficulty resisting…
The clumps of red fog were counteracted by the lines on his black armor counteracted. When the black armor was about to be completely expended, a thought raced through Fang Yuan’s mind and an endless flow of origin power immediately replenished the black armor.
The Hydra turned around and explained. “This is the corrosive red fog. Only a Demon Master like me is able to survive for a long time inside!”
Its huge figure was unbelievably dexterous inside the abyss.
“What kind of abyss is this? This is practically the deep ocean!”
Fang Yuan continued following the nine-headed creature downward, gasping in surprise more and more.
This Bottomless Blood Abyss seemed like a gigantic rift from the surface. However, as he descended, the empty space became more vast, even forming the illusion that the entire purple star was a hollow, empty space.
“Here we are!” The Hydra suddenly stopped.
Fang Yuan looked around. Since it was called the Bottomless Blood Abyss, this place was naturally not the bottom, but a vacant space. Dark red fog seemed to condense tangibly.
“This…”
Fang Yuan’s pupils shrank, as though he had returned to the moment he met the Celestial Thearch and when his Dream Master Dao path was stolen.
As a handprint materialized, the bloody fog was dispersed by him, directly shattering the vacant space. Imprinted within the vacant space was a scar that seemed irreparable.
“Indescribable terror. Truly a Demon God!”
He sighed slowly.
Beside him, the Hydra said in a chant-like tone, “A Demon God is situated above the rules. They are everything, indescribable, and endless terror. Once they exert all of their power and attack without holding back, everything they do would leave behind their imprints on a realm, even easily changing the fundamental elements of a realm!
“Traces of their attack are named ‘Dao Marks’ by us and have a lasting charm on the Demon God-level Dao path, often acting as sources of inspiration. For those of us who are establishing our own Dao of Demon God, they’re extremely useful!”
The Hydra continued to descend.
Fang Yuan immediately saw that the Dao Marks carried a breathtaking aura, directly imprinting into the void and indestructible for years to come.
Slightly closing his eyes, he seemed to witness an earth-shattering war.
With some absentmindedness, he continued to descend.
The Dao Marks around endlessly transformed into exotic shapes, finally becoming strange incomplete symbols.
“Mental Demon language?”
Fang Yuan had learned the common Mental Demon characters from Ado, but the symbols here were entirely different.
“These should be from the same source as they seem to somewhat resemble the Mental Demon characters. However, its far more complex and should be the ancient text of the Mental Demon Realm?”
“It’s rumored that if someone can completely understand the characters used by a Demon God, they can realize the Dao path founded by that Demon God… Unfortunately, I’ve always been searching within the abyss but was unable to collect everything!” the Hydra said with some regret.
“Right… where’s that Demon God sealed?”
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment before suddenly thinking of this question.
