Unlike the terror and despair of most demons.
Standing at a higher level, the demon kings, who were well aware of many secrets of the Astral Realm, were not intimidated by the sudden arrival of numerous Eternity forces.
As the foremost of the three super planes in the Astral Realm, the Abyss possesses unfathomable power and is the only special celestial body capable of encompassing other planes.
Strictly speaking, the Abyss itself is more like a miniature universe cluster, except that different planes of the universe share a common origin.
Furthermore, the Abyss Will is highly active and autonomous, actively driving its own development. When faced with danger, it can even spontaneously resist or bestow its power upon powerful demons.
In this way, a demon king of Supreme God level, empowered by the Abyss Will, could even fight against Eternity.
The Ruler of the Abyss is even more powerful, and will not be at a disadvantage even when facing multiple opponents.
If it weren't for this ability, the Abyss would have been flattened countless times over the long course of history.
Ordinary demon warriors were unaware of these matters, and even some demon lords were clueless about them. However, for those demon kings standing at the top of the Abyss, they were well aware of the Abyss's special status in the Astral Realm.
Therefore, there was not much fear.
Ultimately, as long as the Astral Realm still needs the Abyss, needs the power representing Destruction, and needs the Samsara of all things, it will not allow the Abyss to be destroyed.
As long as the Abyss remains, neither the Ruler of the Abyss nor these demon kings standing at the top will be harmed.
A super-large dimensional core near the Bottom of the Abyss.
A constantly shifting, dark shadow uttered ancient Abyss language, echoing throughout the plane it controlled and even reaching far beyond. "The Abyss cannot be Destruction, otherwise the balance of the Astral Realm would be broken, a catastrophe a hundred times more terrible than the Demons of the Abyss wreaking havoc across the realms."
"Is it the Secret Shadow Demon King, one of the oldest demon kings in the Abyss? Is what he said true?"
"Of course it's true! The Demon King wouldn't lie to us!"
The demons murmured amongst themselves, some believing, some doubting, but at least their fear was suppressed.
As the five Eternity warriors vanished into the Endless Abyss and entered its Bottom of the Abyss, the awe-inspiring Eternity pressure also rapidly dissipated under the influence of the Abyss Will, and the demons gradually calmed down.
But at that very moment, shooting stars suddenly appeared in the skies above countless Abyss planes.
Three of them, the most dazzling and in the first tier of meteors, plummeted straight into the Abyss plane where the Secret Shadow Demon King resided.
Three towering figures emerged from the stars.
They were handsome elves with dazzling golden hair.
An elderly spellcaster dressed in the robes of Grand Sage- ranking Mage.
And a colossal mechanical god composed entirely of various technological machines.
"The Elf King, the Grand Sage Mage, and the Archbishop of Machinery from the Northern Spirit Empire."
The voice of the Secret Shadow Demon King appeared once more.
Countless shadows surged forth from all corners of the plane.
In an instant, it transformed into an endless Sea of Shadows.
Within this sea of shadows, countless pairs of cold, miniature Abyss -like eyes and gigantic mouths filled with sharp teeth emerged.
Deeper still, there were tens of thousands of shadowy tentacles and a hazy, lurking dark body.
"The World Alliance, the Adrian Federation, the Northern Spirit Empire, and perhaps even the Divine Realm and Hell —you lackeys of the Order side, you finally couldn't bear the ever-growing power of the Abyss and have come to stop it!"
The ethereal and chilling voice echoed like a cold current within the Abyss.
"Secret Shadow Demon King, as expected of one of the oldest demon kings, your eyes can indeed pierce through the Mist and see the truth. Unfortunately, the tide cannot be turned. The main power of the Astral Realm is ultimately order and rules, not chaos and Destruction!"
The golden-haired Elf King drew a sharp blade from his waist, exuding an aura of power, as if countless suns were rising from the depths of his blood.
"Son of the Sun God, let me see if you possess your father's Purification power!" The Secret Shadow Demon King sneered as he chanted the incantation.
Almost simultaneously, countless shadowy tentacles traversed space, piercing towards the Elf King and the other two Supreme God- level powerhouses.
The Archbishop of Machinery of the Northern Spirit Empire silently took out an amber-shaped artifact, activated it with his own power, and instantly constructed a closed battle space.
The Secret Shadow Demon King was dragged into it, but after his initial surprise, he was not afraid.
Because his connection with the Abyss Will was not severed.
In this way, he cannot be killed unless he is hated by the Abyss Will.
Three Supreme God besieged a demon king.
Similar scenarios occur in many powerful Abyss planes.
Any Abyss plane with a demon lord at the level of Main God would be suppressed by powerful figures sent by the Northern Spirit Empire and the Divine Realm.
The two sides either opened up new spaces and engaged in fierce combat.
Or they might sit quietly and confront each other.
Or they might chat and laugh as if meeting old friends.
In short, all the powerful beings in the Abyss's strongest Abyss, as they are known, have been tied down.
For those participating in the Demon-Hunting War, the most dangerous factor has disappeared.
This grand event, which affects all forces across the entire Astral Realm, has begun to unfold.
"It's about to begin!"
Inside the palace, Gustavo felt anticipation, but his emotions remained relatively calm.
Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.
I've calculated countless times in my mind all the possibilities of participating in the war, even the probability of accidentally dying in battle. The rest, just do it!
Buzz~
A gentle, warm aura enveloped Gustavo as he calmly sensed it. Then, the surrounding scenery shifted, light and shadow flickered, and when he sensed it again, he had moved from the Black Prison Realm to a Void platform.
The surrounding darkness did not give off a sense of horror, but rather a gentle feeling. Gustavo focused his senses and saw countless seal marks in the darkness.
"Is this within the ' Black Book,' Miracle Creation under the control of the Prison Lord?"
Gustavo murmured to himself.
The nine Eternal each possess Miracle Creation in their hands.
The "Black Book," wielded by the Prison Lord, possesses characteristics belonging to the sealing system, which highly matches the Prison Lord's abilities, making it quite famous in the Astral Realm.
Countless powerful demons were sealed within the Black Book, falling into Eternity silence.
"Don't resist."
In an instant, a tremendous divine sound resounded, devoid of much emotion, exploding directly in his heart and soul. Gustavo was momentarily dazed, and when he came to his senses, he felt a chill between his brows.
I reached out and touched it, just like always.
But when I looked in the mirror, I found a page-shaped line on my forehead.
At the same time, a lot of other information came to mind.
"So it's an information recorder and a battle merit calculator. It can also plunder the essence of the demons I kill, thereby weakening the Abyss!" Gustavo suddenly realized.
He had previously wondered why, even if he killed demons while fighting in the Abyss, he couldn't take anything with him, and that the surging Slaughter energy would actually help the Abyss become stronger.
Wouldn't it be a complete waste of time and effort?
Now I understand.
The Black Book can directly plunder the essence of demons.
The source of evil is essentially a weakened version of the Abyss Origin.
Gustavo knew this a long time ago.
After all, when Logo upgraded the quality of the Nirvana Tower, which was at the Demigod level, he used the method of purifying the Abyss Origin, that is, the Abyss Power.
"Kill demons, plunder their essence, exchange for battle merits, purchase supplies... a complete cycle, no wonder it took ten years."
Thinking this, Gustavo suddenly felt his head sink, and with a bang, light and shadow flew on both sides, space spun, and before long, he had fallen into a Abyss abyss plane filled with the smell of sulfur.
Looking around, Gustavo's senses spread, and countless demons, influenced by the Abyss Will, rushed in from all directions. He smiled slightly and transformed into his true form. In an instant, a vast spider web covered the entire Abyss, and his sinister laughter echoed in the sulfurous stench.
"The Demon-Hunting War has officially begun!"
