"Ah, no!" Li Yun screamed as if he had seen something terrifying, rushing toward Ren Pingsheng, who was falling into the Abyss of Demons. Unfortunately, there was a distance of about forty to fifty zhang between them. Even if he was fast enough, by the time he arrived, he could only watch from afar as Ren Pingsheng fell deeper into the abyss.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to jump down after him. However, the boiling Demonic Energy around him unleashed countless black tendrils that whipped at him, creating explosive sounds wherever they struck. Li Yun managed to fend off two attacks before being thrown back. Only then did the Demonic Energy above the Abyss of Demons calm down.
"Ah, damn it, my Heritage!" After being thrown away, he rushed back to the edge of the Abyss of Demons like a madman, but after searching for a long time, there was no sign of Ren Pingsheng anywhere. At this moment, there was no more Demonic Energy to hinder him, but he had regained some clarity and no longer dared to jump down.
This place was one of the three forbidden areas of Snow State and was notorious for its danger. Not to mention that he was just a King-Level Expert; even an Emperor-Level Expert would find it hard to survive if they fell in. No matter how tempting his Heritage was, he still knew how to make choices when it came to his life. It was just that seeing his hard-earned Heritage end up like this made it difficult for him to accept.
"Haha... how ridiculous, truly ridiculous!" His hopes for becoming a King-Level Expert or an Emperor-Level Expert vanished in an instant as Li Yun laughed loudly. He looked somewhat lost and disheveled, and after suffering repeated injuries, he appeared even more miserable.
After bitterly smiling for a while, he left without even glancing at the two members of the Evil Sect. Now only the two members of the Evil Sect remained by the Abyss of Demons. The elder who had battled Ren Pingsheng earlier changed his expression several times before forcing himself to stand up and limping away with the unconscious Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master. As for the dead elder, he merely glanced at him before moving on.
The once lively Abyss of Demons returned to silence. As a forbidden area, it was rarely visited because there were legends that the Abyss of Demons occasionally experienced tidal waves of Demonic Energy that could inexplicably pull people into the abyss. There had once been a King-Level Expert who was swept in and never came out again. Thus, people avoided this place.
Ren Pingsheng had been affected by this so-called tidal wave of Demonic Energy and was pulled into it. Otherwise, he would have been ten zhang away from the Abyss of Demons at that time and would not have fallen in at all. No one knew why these tidal waves of Demonic Energy occurred. Moreover, their range was strange; sometimes they affected more people and sometimes fewer—never fixed.
Perhaps two people could stand near the Abyss of Demons simultaneously; one might be pulled into the abyss while the other remained unharmed. Or they could be a hundred zhang apart and still be drawn in together. This series of oddities ensured that few dared to come here.
At this moment, Ren Pingsheng also found himself in a difficult situation as he continued to fall toward the bottom of the abyss with no way to stop it. Even if he could use True Qi now, it would be futile since he couldn't fly. Furthermore, after being entangled by those tendrils of Demonic Energy earlier, he felt weak all over and could only watch helplessly as he fell.
"What should I do, Demon Emperor? If I keep falling like this, I'll die!" Ren Pingsheng said anxiously.
"Uh... I can't help you either; I've exhausted too much energy and can't possess you again. All I can do is hope for your good fortune," the Demon Emperor replied helplessly.
"This Abyss of Demons is truly cursed; why would those Demonic Energies go berserk? I got dragged down for no reason at all. What bad luck!"
"Hehe, your luck is indeed poor; that must be the most famous Demon Tide associated with the Abyss of Demons. The eruption time is uncertain—sometimes it's just a few years apart, other times decades—and you happened to encounter it."
"Oh, I've heard about this Demon Tide but didn't expect it to be like this. The unfortunate thing is that I'm the only one who got pulled in. By the way, I haven't asked yet: what happened to that Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master?" Ren Pingsheng said self-deprecatingly but suddenly remembered something and turned to ask.
"Oh, you mean him? Don't worry, it's hard to say whether he can wake up or not. I originally wanted to kill him, but that would be too much trouble. So I used some methods to put him into a coma. Without the cultivation of an Emperor-Level Expert, he won't be able to break free," the Demon Emperor said nonchalantly.
"Well, that's not bad. You're right; if we really killed him, it would probably bring a lot of trouble to the Azure Wind Sword Sect. Sigh, I wonder how deep this Abyss of Demons really is; it still hasn't reached the bottom after all this time."
"Who knows? I've never been to this Abyss of Demons. But for me, it's not a bad thing; the deeper we go, the denser the Demonic Energy becomes, which is quite beneficial for my recovery."
"Sigh, let's hope so! Since this Abyss of Demons is called a forbidden area, it probably won't be that simple. Even if I land safely, who knows what horrors await us down there!"
Ren Pingsheng was falling rapidly, watching the fleeting Black Magic Energy and black rock walls, filled with worry. This forbidden area is not named for nothing; if there has been no danger for so long, then it must be lurking at the bottom of the abyss!
Time passed slowly. After a moment, the monotonous scenery made Ren Pingsheng's nerves somewhat numb. Suddenly, some faint strange sounds came from afar; at first very subtle, they gradually grew louder until they became deafening.
It was an endless roar, a strange sound that couldn't be identified as any Demon Beast. In any case, waves of Killing Intent began to spread out, jolting Ren Pingsheng's nerves and even causing hallucinations. Frightened, he quickly focused his mind and dared not let his guard down.
"What is that!" From afar, he saw the bottom of the Abyss of Demons; it was a dark mass of small dots densely packed without end. Just as he was puzzled, those black dots became clear.
They were clearly some bizarre shapes or perhaps Demons or Demonized Beasts; their appearances were even more grotesque and had completely transformed into another kind of creature. The roars he heard earlier were emitted by them.
From above, they were engaged in constant fighting like madmen, completely devoid of any rationality. Their strengths appeared varied, but even the weakest seemed to possess the power of a level one Demon Beast. This meant none were below the Warrior Realm of humans. Moreover, these were just a minority; most of what he could see had strengths resembling Second-Level Monsters.
He could only think so much because he was falling too fast; it took only a few breaths for him to see the situation at the bottom of the Abyss of Demons before he was about to land. Those Demons remained oblivious to the fact that an unfamiliar being was approaching from above.
"Ah... bang..." Just as he was about to hit the ground, Ren Pingsheng drew his Azure Wind Sword and struck out with dozens of sword strikes in quick succession, creating a large pit in the ground. He used this impact to halt his descent and then performed a light 360-degree turn in mid-air before landing on the ground.
Countless fighting Demons were startled by this thunderous sound and fell silent for a moment. It seemed they were sizing up Ren Pingsheng as an outsider; then they looked at him with drooling anticipation as if he were some delicious treat.
"This is bad; these guys probably have no sense left. If they all rush over at once..." After landing, Ren Pingsheng went on high alert; this was the bottom of a forbidden area and surely held great dangers. Seeing these Demons now made him realize things were going south.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, those Demons seemed to have made an agreement and surged toward Ren Pingsheng in unison, eagerly welcoming him with their sharp teeth and claws.
"Damn it, it really is like this." He cursed with a grim expression, and with a twist of the Azure Wind Sword, dozens of Sword Qi slashed out in all directions. The surrounding Demons were pierced by the Sword Qi, with some even having five or six of their kind killed by a single strike. However, once the Sword Qi was exhausted, the remaining Demons closed in again.
The recently deceased Demons were directly torn apart and devoured. Their tongues flicked out, and the corpses were swiftly consumed, but their gaze remained fixed on Ren Pingsheng without any movement.
"Demon Emperor, what exactly is going on? Do you have any idea?" Ren Pingsheng asked cautiously.
"The Abyss of Demons; it seems this is its source. These are all Demons, or what are referred to as the Demon Race. They are merely the lowest tier, having been transformed from other creatures into these bizarre forms. Higher-level Demon Races are actually not much different from humans," the Demon Emperor said after a moment of contemplation.
"You can see that the Demonic Energy here is dense, so any creatures living in this area, whether they want to or not, will be demonized. This is a complete demonization from the bones, not the half-demonization found in the Demon Soul Valley. However, I do not know why there is such pure and dense Demonic Energy here."
"Sigh, I meant to ask what we should do now? There are so many Demons here; judging by their appearance, they definitely won't let us leave," Ren Pingsheng reminded him.
"Don't think about leaving; the depths here are likely filled with such Demons everywhere. No matter where you go, it will be the same. I just took a look; at least within a hundred miles, it's all like this. According to the hierarchy of the Demon Race, most of them are at the level of Demon Soldier and Demon General, with only a few possessing the strength of Demon Lords."
"So you only have Battle left; this is probably also the terrifying aspect of the Abyss of Demons. There are endless Demons here, and what follows will likely be an unending Battle. Moreover, there are already Demon Lords appearing at the edges; inside there must be even stronger ones. No wonder there are legends that even King-Level Experts cannot escape once they fall here," the Demon Emperor said with some emotion. Even during his time as an Emperor-Level Expert, he did not dare to come to this Abyss of Demons.
"One more thing: there is only dense and pure Demonic Energy here, so you need to be careful about your True Qi consumption. However, with so many Demons around, I'm afraid..." He sighed; although he didn't finish his sentence, Ren Pingsheng understood that this time it was likely dire.
These endless Demons would eventually exhaust his True Qi no matter how frugally he used it. When that time came, he would have no strength left to fight back against these Demons. Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine.
Unless he could escape immediately, no matter how powerful his cultivation was, it would be worn down bit by bit in this place!
