The Void Stratum.
Within this empty region between the layers of the Abyss, filled with all manner of chaotic fluctuations.
A dazzling streak of blood-red light was moving at tremendous speed through some inexplicable means.
Its trajectory did not appear to follow a simple straight line.
Instead, it traced a rather bizarre, utterly irregular curve, yet the result was unmistakable: it was advancing at tremendous speed...
The reason was that the spacetime structure here was far too turbulent.
You might think you were moving forward when you were actually moving backward; you might think you were heading left when you were actually heading down...
Even a great demon could get lost here.
In fact, the main reason great demons could wander through the various regions of the Bottomless Abyss was that they could adapt fairly well to its hostile environment, rather than getting killed by a time and space storm whenever they traveled any distance...
Generally speaking.
As long as a great demon did not court death, killing one was difficult.
Aside from that.
Because the distances involved were far too vast.
Even spacetime-based movement abilities, such as teleportation, did not deliver someone to their destination instantaneously within the Void Stratum, but manifested in other forms instead.
That streak of blood-red light was a prime example.
An unknown amount of time passed.
After crossing countless distances.
The blood-red radiance finally reached its destination.
Like a fish diving into a lake.
It merged into a strange, gigantic barrier in an instant!
That was the outer ward of the Eternal Obelisk—the 7,358,475th layer of the Bottomless Abyss!
Throughout its surrounding region, countless streaks of light, similar to that blood-red radiance but nowhere near as conspicuous, were constantly coming and going.
They attested to the prosperity of this place.
In fact.
