The Tanar'ri Demons replaced the Obyriths.
The battle between devils and demons continued. Perhaps it was due to a clash of ideals, perhaps for other reasons.
Thus, the Blood War gradually began.
The gods had also discovered the demons' strength. They could no longer tolerate the demons' unchecked growth.
So these gods and celestial races began supporting the devils.
Though devils likewise demanded souls, they were still orderly and could not acquire souls without restraint.
Demons, however, were different. They could ignore all rules and order; by killing living beings, they could obtain souls.
Thus began the Blood War between demons and devils.
The Spirit Realm's support for Purgatory also began under these circumstances.
Huo Ling continued reading the scroll. What followed contained more records concerning the Obyriths.
It included many varieties of Obyriths, their traits, methods of combat, and combat strength.
At the same time, there were records concerning Chaos Worms as well.
When he reached this section, Huo Ling paid particular attention and began carefully reading the materials.
The information on Chaos Worms came from Demogorgon, or other powerful Tanar'ri Demons, who had obtained it while torturing the original Obyriths.
Even one as powerful as Demogorgon had not yet seen a Chaos Worm.
Yet from the mouths of the Obyriths, one could still learn of the Chaos Worms' terrifying power.
Chaos Worms were born within the Chaos Sea.
Even the Obyriths, though they had once been Chaos Worms, had changed after the tide of chaos receded.
Chaos Worms were merely one outward manifestation of chaos.
Though their usual forms were those of serpents and worms, that did not mean they would forever retain those forms.
Chaos was disorderly, and Chaos Worms were disorderly as well.
The weakest Chaos Worm might only be somewhat stronger than an ordinary mortal.
