The Dark Forbidden Zone and the Demon Fetus
At the very heart of the Central Black Hole lay an endless region of deepest darkness. Only Ninth Rank beings could enter; anyone below that level would meet certain death. It was known as the Dark Forbidden Zone.
So, once Liang Ji and the others entered, they no longer had to worry about attacks from high-ranking Void Demon Race members or Demonic Beasts, nor did they need to fear being struck by stars.
After all, even if a star was swallowed into this place, the immense gravity and devouring force would tear it apart.
However, in a Dark Forbidden Zone like this, they could not rule out the possibility that other Ninth Rank beings were lurking there.
A Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon, or perhaps a Ninth Rank Heavenly Yao—either was possible!
After all, quite a lot of Heavenly Demon Qi had surged out of the Dark Forbidden Zone before. Liang Ji and the others had speculated that it might already connect to, or have some link with, the dark side of the Starsea Universe.
If so, given enough Heavenly Demon Qi, a new Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon might naturally be born.
They had to search carefully, lest a Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon or Ninth Rank Heavenly Yao be lying in wait, ready to ambush them.
Though they were all Ninth Rank beings, Liang Ji and the others were Ninth Rank Star Lords; they could still be gravely wounded by a sneak attack from someone of the same rank.
Fortunately, their search of the Dark Forbidden Zone turned up no other Ninth Rank beings. Only immensely concentrated Demonic Energy and Heavenly Demon Qi filled the entire region, staining and corrupting it until it had become a Dark Demon Domain.
