Ren Pingsheng hurriedly turned around and caught a glimpse of a massive Demon, resembling a flying eagle, its wings blocking out the sun. Two Demon Sect cultivators were grabbed by it, tossed into its mouth, and after hearing a couple of screams, they were swallowed whole.
After finishing its meal, it seemed still unsatisfied, its eyes shifting to Ren Pingsheng. Startled, Ren Pingsheng felt his heart race and fled without looking back. Perhaps due to Ren Pingsheng's cultivation level and size not being impressive enough, he was fortunate to escape with his life.
Those higher-level Demons fared poorly; after being toyed with by this Demon King-level Demon, the scene was one of utter devastation. The larger and stronger Demons were treated as food.
"Wow... this Demon King-level Demon is terrifying. It must have devoured at least a thousand Demons. The weakest ones are at the level of Demon Lords, and there are quite a few at the Demon Sect level," Ren Pingsheng, having narrowly escaped, wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said in shock.
If he had drawn the attention of that Demon King-level Demon, he likely wouldn't have been able to escape at all. He had witnessed a Demon Sect level Demon flee for over ten miles, only for it to be caught effortlessly with a single flap of its wings. Its speed was akin to teleportation—truly terrifying.
"Indeed, while both Demon Sect and Demon Kings are at the mid-third tier level, the gap between them is like heaven and earth. Becoming a sect-level powerhouse may be relatively easy, but becoming a King-Level Expert is tenfold or even a hundredfold more difficult. You will understand this better in time," the Demon Emperor remarked thoughtfully.
"So what should we do now? Should we continue deeper?" Ren Pingsheng hesitated. Having already encountered a Demon King-level Demon, who knows what lies deeper?
"Of course, unless you don't want to leave. Or if you're willing to spend another decade waiting for your cultivation to make significant breakthroughs. But would that even be meaningful?"
"Right, I can't remain trapped here forever. While I can cultivate here indefinitely, it's still not as good as outside. Once my cultivation is higher without some heavenly materials to assist me, breaking through will become difficult."
"Exactly, outside holds countless opportunities; this place is far too dangerous. Not just you—even a King-Level Expert could meet their demise here. It's best to leave as soon as possible."
After resting briefly, Ren Pingsheng continued deeper into the area. He had already traveled nearly a hundred miles. Perhaps influenced by the earlier encounter with the Demon King-level Demon, many powerful Demons nearby had vanished. This did not hinder him; weaker Demons could not stop him at all, allowing him to progress smoothly.
"There are some Demons here that are transformed from Demon Beasts. You should collect their demon cores," the Demon Emperor reminded him after dispatching several Demon Lord-level Demons.
"Oh, I almost forgot about that! What are the uses of demon cores and beast cores?" Ren Pingsheng exclaimed regretfully.
"They're quite similar; beast cores contain beast energy which transforms into Demonic Energy after demonic transformation. Their basic uses are alike—both can be used for crafting or alchemy."
"Oh, that previous Demon King-level Demon, which looked like a majestic eagle, must have been transformed from a Demon Beast. And those two fighting earlier were also at the Demon Sect level."
"Yes, from my observations in this Abyss of Demons, at least one-third of the Demons here are formed from transformed Demon Beasts. Their demon cores are valuable!"
"Haha, great! Let's specifically look for these creatures along our way," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile. Such third-tier Demon Beasts were rare outside; they typically resided deep within perilous mountain ranges—not to mention obtaining their beast cores. With so many available here, he was naturally excited.
Ren Pingsheng focused on these demonic Demon Beasts to take action, but he only considered those with at least the cultivation level of a Demon Sovereign.
Thus, after stumbling along, he had already ventured three hundred miles into the Abyss of Demons. The Demon that appeared here had all reached the cultivation level of Demon Sovereigns, which was the minimum level. It was also common to encounter Demon with Demon Sect cultivation, and there were a few Demon at the level of Demon Kings as well. It could be said that it was fraught with danger.
During this time, he had experienced fleeing and sustaining serious injuries. There were moments when he was cornered and fought desperately, ultimately escaping only when the Demon Emperor intervened. However, some dangers here were beyond even the current Demon Emperor's capabilities; after all, he was merely a Soul entity, and after two thousand years, his power was limited. When encountering Demon at the level of Demon Kings, all he could do was flee.
"Kid, there are two powerful creatures battling about twenty miles away. If we sneak over, we might gain something," the Demon Emperor said to the cautiously hiding Ren Pingsheng.
"Alright, but you need to be mindful of the Surroundings. This Battle can attract us, and naturally, it can attract other Demon as well," Ren Pingsheng replied after a moment's thought, then stealthily moved toward the direction of the Battle.
"This is... this commotion is from a Demon at the level of a Demon King." He was somewhat surprised; although he couldn't see it, the noise was enough to indicate what was happening.
"Yes, it's still two Demon Beasts that have transformed into Demon. Let's see if you have a chance to be a fisherman."
A few miles away, two mountain-sized Demon were engaged in their final battle, covered in wounds and bleeding profusely. In the shadows, there were also some Demon with Demon Sect cultivation watching closely. For them, being able to devour the flesh of a Demon King was greatly beneficial.
Finally, one of the Demon with Demon Sect cultivation couldn't resist the temptation and roared as it attacked. Unfortunately for them, they miscalculated. Even injured, this Demon King-level Demon was not something they could handle. With a sweep of its tail, those nearby Demon were turned into mush.
Unfortunately, more and more Demon appeared; even some at the level of Demon Sovereigns joined in. The casualties increased, and both Demon King-level Demon grew weaker. They were already heavily injured and looked even worse now.
"Roar..." They let out angry roars and tried to struggle to fly away. Unfortunately, they were pulled down by several Demon with Demon Sect cultivation, leading to both sides fighting to their mutual destruction. The surrounding area was affected by hundreds of other Demon.
"Kid, one of the other Demon is also done for. Get a bit closer and quickly collect their Corpse. I'll take care of the escape," the Demon Emperor said eagerly.
"Okay, such an opportunity cannot be missed." Ren Pingsheng slowly crept closer. At this moment, all the Demon had gone mad and no one paid him any mind.
"Take action!" Once he got within one hundred fifty feet, Ren Pingsheng's figure suddenly vanished. He reappeared next to the fallen Corpse, with dozens of other Demon at the level of Demon Sect still fighting nearby. Taking advantage of his small size and with a mental command, two Demon King-level Demon Corpse entered his Spatial Ring.
At that same moment, Ren Pingsheng's figure disappeared again. However, he was still noticed by a few Demon, who angrily chased after him. These two Corpse originally belonged to them and had now been stolen.
When Ren Pingsheng reappeared, his figure flickered in mid-air. Each time he moved over five hundred feet; it was now the Demon Emperor controlling his body with terrifying speed. The pursuing Demon, despite their efforts, could not keep up.
He didn't know how long he had been fleeing before Ren Pingsheng finally stopped. Before he could catch his breath, he saw a massive Demon, its eyes like suns and moons, staring directly at him. The entire world seemed dominated by it; its terrifying aura caused Ren Pingsheng to plummet from mid-air. When he landed on the ground, he couldn't even stand up.
"What is this thing? Why is it so terrifying?" he exclaimed in shock. He kept staring, seemingly at the Demon far away, but its massive size made it visible even from a distance.
"It should also be a Demon. But this Demon is too frightening; it must have the cultivation level of a Demon Emperor. How is that possible? Is the Abyss of Demons really this terrifying?" The Demon Emperor was also shocked, muttering to himself in disbelief. If there were a Demon with the cultivation level of a Demon Emperor in the Abyss of Demons, then no one would be able to escape.
"Magic... Demon Emperor? Are you sure?" Ren Pingsheng was still recovering from the shock and was startled again. However, a height of over a thousand feet was not impossible.
"But it's strange; why do I feel like there's something over there? It seems to be calling to me." Now calm, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that something about that Demon was beckoning him.
"Kid, don't worry about those things; keep running. Two Demons with the strength of Demon Kings are chasing us." After fleeing for two hours, they had shaken off their pursuers, but it had attracted some even more formidable beings.
"Damn it!" Upon hearing this, Ren Pingsheng dared not hesitate any longer and turned to run in another direction. However, after just two steps, he suddenly stopped. He turned his head to look at the towering body of the Demon in the distance, as if sensing his intention to leave; the call became even stronger.
"What on earth is this? I'm going for it!" He turned around and ran toward the source of the call. The body of the Demon was as massive as a mountain; it was visible, but getting there would not be easy.
"Kid, are you trying to get yourself killed? That thing is terrifying. Not even I could match it back in my day!" The Demon Emperor shouted in exasperation. There were directions to run in every way, yet Ren Pingsheng chose to head toward the most dangerous place.
"If this Demon is so powerful, then surely no other Demon would dare approach it. We are placing ourselves in a desperate situation for survival. In other areas, there are even more powerful beings; whether we can escape is questionable." As he ran, Ren Pingsheng spoke. In truth, what he wanted to know most was what exactly was calling to him.
"Desperate situation for survival? I'm just afraid you won't survive!" He sighed, knowing that advising him would be futile. Once Ren Pingsheng had made up his mind about something, it was hard for anyone else to change it. Deep down, he also wanted to see what kind of being that Demon truly was and why such a terrifying Demon existed here.
Of course, what Ren Pingsheng referred to as placing oneself in a desperate situation for survival wasn't entirely wrong. Such a powerful Demon might not even notice that he was just a small ant.
