Tiny fragments of the Heart of the Abyss fell, rapidly expanding in size as they transformed into enormous black-purple stars, entwined with countless Abyss demonic energies, tearing through space and plummeting towards various parts of the Abyss.

One after another, greedy gazes could no longer be restrained.

When the first True God, with bloodshot eyes, charged toward the nearest fragment of the Heart of the Abyss, the entire spectator erupted in cheers and joined the Abyss battle in the Abyss.

In the Gloomy Void Realm, Gustavo gazed at the three fragments of the Heart of the Abyss falling from the sky, his heart filled with excitement.

As one of the most unique planes in the Abyss, and given Gustavo's own luck and the favor of the Abyss Will, it's not surprising that he was able to attract three fragments of the Heart of the Abyss.

Similarly, it didn't surprise him much; he felt more joy and excitement.

Gustavo could sense that as the fragments of the Heart of the Abyss drew closer, the aura emanating from these dark purple stars caused his Devouring Divine Realm to tremble violently.

It's as if I'm looking at an extremely delicious meal.

In particular, the Abyss divine Divine Law within the Devouring Divine Realm were all cheering wildly, radiating waves of energy.

"Compared to devouring other True God- level Demons of the Abyss to obtain Divine Law, these most essential essences of the Abyss seem more palatable and offer me greater benefits."

"Although it's also more likely to bring me closer to the Abyss Will..."

Gustavo knew all too well what his fragment of the Heart of the Abyss could bring him, and what it could take away from him.

But at this moment, he made his choice almost without hesitation.

He needs the fragments of the Heart of the Abyss, even if it means becoming further entangled with that immense consciousness, never to be separated again.

"Swallow!! Swallow!! Swallow!!"

The chaotic thoughts surging in his mind were suppressed by Gustavo in one fell swoop. After making a decision, his spider eyes immediately emitted a chilling light, and a Black Hole slowly unfolded in front of him, expanding wildly, about to fill the entire Gloomy Void Realm.

If all space is sealed off, then the fragments of the Heart of the Abyss will naturally fall into his mouth.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Gustavo had imagined.

The fastest falling blackish-purple star quickly merged with the devouring Black Hole.

On the surface of the stars, the Abyss demonic energy roared like a dragon, trying to escape the terrifying gravity of the Black Hole, but to no avail, and was completely swallowed up.

Immediately, countless insights into the laws of the Abyss surged toward Gustavo like a tidal wave.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a massive amount of power of laws flowed from his pupils like a waterfall.

Every inch of his body was permeated with Abyss Power.

These Abyss Power, like paintbrushes cast by the Abyss Will, etched even more complex and profound Abyss Demon Pattern onto Gustavo's body.

His physical body also underwent greater changes during this demonic transformation, becoming more and more like a true demon king.

The most significant changes occurred within the Devouring Divine Realm.

In the previous Demon-Hunting War, Gustavo obtained Divine Law by killing True God- level demons and devouring their Divine Realm, thereby expanding the number of Divine Law he possessed and powerfully Devouring Divine Realm.

Before the number of Divine Law reached a thousand, the expansion was extremely rapid, but then it slowed down.

And it's getting slower and slower.

By the end of the Demon-Hunting War, the number of Divine Law had only accumulated to a little over two thousand.

It is far, far away from the three thousand number that Gustavo foresaw would undergo an ultimate transformation.

However, as Gustavo devoured the first round of dark purple stars, the countless insights into the Abyss rules brought by the Abyss Origin caused his Devouring Divine Realm to naturally generate one divine Divine Law after another.

The numbers began to surge rapidly.

Correspondingly, Gustavo could clearly feel the power surging within him also rising.

A surge of Berserk power welled up within him once more, and Gustavo even felt a sense that the speed at which his power was increasing was too fast, making it difficult to control.

For him, who had embarked on the Devouring Path, this was an unprecedented event.

Even when Gustavo was frantically killing and devouring True God- level beings before, he had never felt this way.

At the same time, the costs that come with the benefits also follow.

The power contained within the Abyss Origin is indeed vast, Endless, and incomparably powerful.

Compared to the primal forces of other planes in the Astral Realm, the reason why the Abyss Origin is both loved and hated is because of its enormous side effects.

It is a place where negative energy and negative emotions from the Astral Realm converge.

The primordial power condensed from the Endless Abyss naturally carries with it extreme negative factors.

Especially the Heart of the Abyss, the most essential and core treasure of this Abyss.

Even the slightest bit of power, the most insignificant fragment, can unleash a torrent of negative emotions upon being devoured.

This Berserk force of negative emotions surged into Gustavo's mind with lightning speed, colliding with the dense sealing barriers and producing a deafening roar.

It was like a flood that surged and crashed against the embankment.

The Mind Beast, originally bound and sealed by multiple barriers, seemed to sense the changes in the outside world and began to cooperate with this torrent of negative emotions, attacking the sealing barriers from both inside and outside.

It was churning and raging wildly in Gustavo's inner world.

The once-sturdy sealing barrier trembled violently under the combined attack of these two emotional forces, and the sealing runes glowed faintly, attempting to resist the impact.

But Gustavo understood that as long as he continued to devour the power of the Heart of the Abyss fragments, the power of that emotional impact would only grow stronger.

Sooner or later it will get out of control.

"Then, let's control it for as long as we can. If it really doesn't work..."

A look of madness appeared in Gustavo's spider-like eyes.

A dangerous idea grew wildly like weeds.

Everything in the universe is interconnected, mutually dependent, and mutually transformative; fortune may be the harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be the harbinger of fortune...

Thinking this way, Gustavo not only did not stop devouring, but instead made the devouring Black Hole operate even more Berserk.

Like a pump running at full power, it frantically extracted the Abyss Origin hidden within the dark purple stars.

At the same time, Gustavo was also rapidly learning the middle and lower volumes of "Abyss Sealing Studies" using the countless insights into the laws churning in his mind.

As the Demon-Hunting Champion, Gustavo devoted almost all of his achievements in the Demon-Hunting War to the Sealing Studies, exchanging them for a large amount of Sealing Studies knowledge, including the two volumes of "Abyss Sealing Studies".

Gustavo has already studied part of the middle volume, "The Abyss Sealing Studies," while the second volume only scratches the surface.

However, in his current state, Gustavo's ability to comprehend various laws and knowledge has increased by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of times.

Even with the second volume, "The Abyss Sealing Studies," he quickly gained a great deal of insight, which he was able to integrate into the sealing of his spiritual world.

Moreover, Gustavo is willing to invest his energy even if it's just to improve his Sealing Studies skills by a tiny bit, just so he can persist for a little longer.

This will allow him to be better prepared and face the impending madness with greater composure.
