Pine Brahma Domain Lord's smile vanished.
"Do you think I've gone mad?"
Flying Lin Domain Lord snorted furiously. "You have gone mad! We of the Abyssal Demon Race were born to belong to the Abyss. Bound by the Abyssal Rules, we simply cannot set foot on the Abyssal Ancient Dao, yet you want to walk it? That is nothing less than provoking the Abyssal Rules..."
"Not only are you mad, you're mad beyond all hope!"
"Beyond saving... Mm, I get it now. This damned human must have talked you into this, right?"
"You're utterly ridiculous. Those humans are Sinful Criminals, and the food of us Abyssal Demons. You, the lofty Archaic Demon Venerable and lord of Pine Brahma Domain, actually believe the words of food!"
"You really ought to die..."
Pine Brahma Domain Lord dismissed it with disdain. "Abyssal Rules? So what if they are the Abyssal Rules? Why don't you sense them now? Can you still feel the Abyssal Rules?"
Flying Lin Domain Lord froze. Instinctively, he tried to sense them, and his expression changed drastically.
Only then did he realize that the Abyssal Rules, which he had been able to sense since birth, could no longer be felt at all. It was as though every trace of the Abyss had vanished.
Oh, no—it had not vanished. The Abyssal Rules could not possibly disappear.
They had been cut off.
This world he was in had completely severed all connection to the Abyssal Rules.
Flying Lin Domain Lord immediately began to panic.
The Abyssal Rules had been cut off.
Did that mean he had become nothing but meat on the chopping block in this world? Once he was killed, he would be unable to rely on the Abyssal Rules to return to the Abyss, and would never be reborn again?
