After receiving the Nine-Star Immortal Artifact, the three Peak True God of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Realm left the Virtual Universe.
Only Gustavo remained, deliberately left behind by the Lord of Demonic Machinery.
The Lord of Demonic Machinery looked at Gustavo with a serious expression and said, "This Demon-Hunting War is unlike any other, with countless powerful figures. With your talent, you would definitely be a force to be reckoned with in a hundred years, but now, it's a bit too early."
"It's true that I had high hopes for you before, but the situation has changed. If you don't want to participate in the Demon-Hunting War, you can withdraw. The choice is yours, and I will not interfere."
"As for this Dragon-Mourning Blade, consider it a gift from your elder to commemorate your advancement to the Upper God rank."
Hearing these words, Gustavo felt a warmth in his heart. He looked up and smiled freely, saying, "What are you saying? As a member of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, it's not my style to be cowardly before the battle even begins. Besides, I promised you before that I would achieve good results in the Demon-Hunting War and attract the attention of the Prison Lord. I can't go back on my word."
The Lord of Demonic Machinery was taken aback upon hearing this. After a moment, a pleased smile appeared on his lips as he patted Gustavo on the shoulder and said, "Good, you have guts. Since you've made this decision, I won't interfere any further. I look forward to your performance in the Demon-Hunting War."
"Please wait and see, you and your community!"
Time slips away like sand through our fingers.
As the Demon-Hunting War drew closer, the atmosphere in the Black Prison Realm grew increasingly intense, with countless geniuses and powerful figures gathering together in a grand spectacle.
During this period, many powerful entities previously unknown to the public began to emerge, and more than one dark horse appeared before the world.
Many Transcendent professions that were once thought to be lost have found successors.
It was as if they were using this grand event to announce their return to the Astral Realm.
The participants gathered together, stirring up a storm of events.
At an even higher level, a grander operation unveiled itself, revealing its fangs.
Buzz~
Divine light cascaded down like a waterfall, vast and boundless.
A blazing sun, seemingly never to be extinguished, slowly descended and landed on the core of the Black Prison Realm.
An Eternity and Immortal will rose up, guiding the blazing sun into the secret realm.
And so on.
Amidst the ever-changing winds and clouds, numerous unparalleled phenomena appeared one after another.
Before a council table that seemed to be built from an endless continent, powerful figures who could shake the Astral Realm with a mere stomp of their feet took their seats.
The Prison Lord, dressed in a pure white robe covered with countless sealing marks, looked around and slowly said, "You all have come here, presumably because you agree with my suggestion."
Marshal Tukhachev of the Northern Spirit Empire continued, "The Chaos Sea is in turmoil, and the Destruction Tide has already taken shape. The Astral Realm has been swept up by this force and plunged into chaos. As originally predicted, the golden age of development in the Third Era has been cut in half. In order to prevent order from being overturned by chaos, the Abyss must be severely damaged."
Although this Imperial Marshal's strength was not comparable to any of the Eternal present, he could still contend with Eternity when he unleashed his full power by borrowing the power of the God of Law and the Holy Grail of Origin.
He also represented the majesty of the Northern Spirit Empire, so his words carried great weight.
The Sun God Light shone brightly, and from within it came a majestic voice. "We must not allow the scenes of the early Second Era to repeat themselves. The power of the Abyss must be contained in advance, and it is time to cleanse these filthy and vile demons."
"I second that!" The Magic Pioneer nodded succinctly.
"No objection." A gentle voice came from the World Tree.
The World Tree might hesitate to attack other factions, but it will not hesitate to target the Abyss.
As various influential figures expressed their opinions, the Prison Lord's eyes grew increasingly profound. He slowly stood up, his voice deep and resonant, as if every word was engraved with scenes hidden in the distant past.
"Then... let's take action!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an ancient book with a jet-black cover appeared on the Prison Lord's chest.
Splash~
As the pages of the "Black Book" turned, countless seal marks burst forth, transforming into a curtain that blotted out the sky, bursting out of the Black Prison Realm and descending into the Endless Abyss.
In an instant, the entire Abyss was completely alarmed.
Abyss planes and continents radiated a deep, demonic light. Countless Demons of the Abyss looked up at the sky, their brutal and bloodthirsty eyes filled with shock.
"The Book of Sealing..."
A demon lord muttered to himself.
The colossal body that had spread fear to the material plane countless times was now trembling with terror, as if recalling some extremely horrifying scene—a being of Infinity terror, especially to demons.
"Prison Lord, Abyss Warden!"
However, some unruly demon powerhouses let out cold snorts, seemingly dissatisfied.
Yet not a single demon dared to confront the descending sealing curtain.
They knew they could not resist the supreme divine power of the Eternal.
In the entire Abyss, there is only one being who can rival him head-on: the Ruler of the Abyss, Erexius, who slumbers at the Bottom of the Abyss.
"Aster, don't you know that even the Eternal, in the Endless Abyss, must bow to me?"
A deep, murmuring voice came from the Bottom of the Abyss, instantly echoing throughout the entire Endless Abyss. Countless demons, upon hearing this voice, felt their blood boil and became wildly fanatical.
The demons seemed to already see the scene of the Ruler of the Abyss divine power and defeating the Prison Lord, who was also Eternal.
However, the response to the Ruler of the Abyss was not the power of the Prison Lord, but a falling Eternal Blazing Sun.
Rumble!
Endless light and heat burst forth, and wherever they passed, countless demons screamed in agony, their bodies emitting blue smoke before turning into dust and scattering away.
"Solaris! Does the Divine Realm intend to become enemies of the Abyss?" The voice of the Ruler of the Abyss rang out again, this time without its previous calmness, but with a hint of solemnity.
"To be an enemy?" The majestic voice of a king, as powerful as a god, echoed through the Endless Abyss. "No, I am merely exercising judgment!"
Thump!!
A brown tree root, seemingly composed of countless small worlds, emerged from the Fantasy Dimension and descended towards the Bottom of the Abyss, spreading the light of the World Tree along with it.
Then came the God of Law, wielding the Miracle Creation "Holy Grail of Origin," the strongest deity ever created by the Northern Spirit Empire, who also unleashed Eternity power at this moment.
With the arrival of the Magic Pioneer, the entire Abyss fell into utter silence.
Countless Demon Eye stared in terror, their blood trembling.
What they saw.
Five Eternity warriors were dispatched and simultaneously descended upon the Abyss.
Is this an attempt to Destruction the Abyss?
The Abyss has always brought Destruction to other planes or life forms; is this Destruction finally about to befall the Endless Abyss itself?
