Face to face

This is the core of the Endless Abyss; the thousand layers of Abyss outside all originated from this.

A deep red river flows through this Abyss, flowing into every level of the Endless Abyss.

Before Paradise Mountain conquered the Endless Abyss, this Crimson River was actually the cradle of countless Demon species. Every moment, countless Demon Worm would be born and grow here.

However, when the army of Paradise Mountain arrived, and when the Holiness light fell upon the Abyss, these rivers of souls ceased to flow.

Endless Abyss spans countless realms.

From the very beginning, the spacetime of the First Layer of the Abyss was a special spacetime that Half-Step Transcendence from the Astral Realm, which is the origin of the unique spacetime characteristics of the Endless Abyss.

When Jiang Yuu stepped into the deep red pit, the initial scene was not what many people imagined; he directly entered a vast Abyss interface.

Instead, it felt as if we had entered an infinitely long, incredibly deep, and seemingly endless Black Hole.

It's like moving layer by layer from lower-dimensional spacetime to higher-dimensional spacetime.

He could clearly perceive that for every second he traveled through this deep Black Hole, there was a slight change in spacetime.

It was as if he was gradually becoming independent of the Astral Realm plane, heading towards a completely unknown region that did not belong to the Astral Realm plane.

There is no Radiance inside the Black Hole; wisps of deep red mist drift through it from time to time.

These crimson mists seemed to be a manifestation of the Abyss Will, and they strongly repelled Jiang Yuu.

Fortunately, he didn't care.

I don't know how much time has passed; it might be a moment, or it might be decades.

The deeper you go, the larger the diameter of the Black Hole becomes, and the more crimson mist appears.

Finally, Jiang Yuu arrived outside a hemispherical world.

From a distance, this hemispherical world looked as if it had been forcibly chopped in half, but even so, its size was extremely large, even larger than the World Tree that was now covered with the world in Jiang Yuu's eyes.

Stepping into this incredibly vast, irregularly shaped hemispherical world, one will find an immensely expansive, deep red land.

There are mountains and rivers, vast oceans, and even several enormous, deep red craters, but there is no life here; it is a terrifyingly desolate wasteland.

Throughout the world, endless crimson mist constantly rises from all parts of this irregular hemispherical world; mountains, rivers, deep pits, and giant caves all continuously emit endless crimson mist.

Therefore, shrouded in countless crimson mists, the entire Core Abyss world is enveloped in a vast crimson fog, obscuring both the land and the sky.

The surging crimson mist seemed to be filled with the howling and wailing of countless souls; in fact, these souls were real.

This is the core of the Endless Abyss. Outside, in the Thousand Layers of Abyss, a large portion of the souls harvested from each Abyss are taken by the Abyss Will and brought back here. Then, some of these souls will flow through the Crimson River, passing through various Abyss interfaces, where they will give birth to a new generation of Demon Worm, which will eventually grow into new Demon.

An incomparably malevolent aura permeated this eerie space-time, and endless malice pressed down on Jiang Yuu from the omnipresent Abyss Will.

When he arrived here, it was as if the whole world was his enemy!

At the same time, an aura far different from the Astral Realm Rules flowed in this special spacetime, yet it also possessed characteristics of the Astral Realm.

For Jiang Yuu, this feeling was like Endless Abyss hanging halfway on the spacetime crystal wall of the Astral Realm.

However, these are not the main points at the moment.

After scanning the various aspects of this Endless Abyss, Jiang Yuu's gaze settled on the Endless Abyss center of its core region.

There, a supreme Throne, as red as blood, stands at the center of the entire Crimson World, the most magnificent and splendid man-made structure in the Abyss Core.

A handsome young Demon, exuding noble elegance and possessing a powerful and majestic aura, sat quietly on his Throne, smiling as he looked at Jiang Yuu, the second being in history to appear alive in the true core world of the Endless Abyss.

Jiang Yuu could sense from him an aura far surpassing that of the Rule Sovereign, as well as the wondrous, lofty rhythm that enveloped him, like a history book of time, an existence that spanned an entire River of Time, moving from history into reality.

With just one glance, Jiang Yuu You recognized the Demon's identity.

"Demon Prince, Koyisas!"

Before Jiang Yuu You could speak, the Demon Prince on the crimson Throne turned to face him, a figure of immense Abyss and seemingly uncrowned power among the endless Demon.

With an elegance completely contrary to that of Demon.

He sat upright with his hands at his sides, and spoke with a smile.

"Judgment Sovereign, White Gold Moon, King of Paradise Mountain, Yuliel."

Welcome to the bottom of the Endless Abyss, the core of the Abyss, the final resting place of the Abyss Will and all Abyss souls!

"I am Koyisas, Lord of Endless Demon!"

You know me!

Jiang Yuu stopped, his hand on his sword, standing outside the Crimson World, and looked up to ask.

The twelve Radiance wings of light behind him shone out of place in this crimson world, like a Radiance gem plunging into a filthy river or sea.

"Of course I know you. From the moment you tore apart the Abyss and created the Seven-Layer Hell, to the moment you defeated poor Aliklaus and swept away all the Abyss Sovereign, I know it all."

"If I so choose, Endless Abyss can escape my eyes, ears, and mouth!"

The Demon Prince Koyisas laughed heartily.

"Then why didn't you stop me? Now I'm about to conquer the entire Endless Abyss."

Jiang Yuu asked again.

Why should I stop you?

The Demon Prince seemed to have heard something very funny, and he threw his head back and burst into laughter.

After a long while, he looked at Jiang Yuu with a sincere expression and said...

"All Demon are merely pets kept by the Abyss Will."

"Deep within the soul of every Demon lies a profound trace of the Abyss Will."

"That Demon's true name, bestowed by the Abyss Will and revered by countless Abyss Demon as a symbol of high status and noble blood, is nothing more than a pet name given by the Abyss Will to its cats and dogs."

"From the moment we are conceived, everything is controlled by it, driven by it, and we are given the character and role it is meant to give us."

"Like magical factories in certain magical industrial worlds, tirelessly producing spare parts, forever deprived of their freedom!"

He lowered his head, as if in lamentation.

"Throughout my life, I've always been forced to do things I don't like, such as invading the world and Slaughter living beings. None of this is what we want."

"I'm not reconciled! My soul should be free!"

Beyond the world.

Jiang Yuu listened patiently to the Demon Prince's "lament," a cold smile playing on her lips.

"If I hadn't killed so many Demon, I would have believed it."
