Chapter 279: Blood Sun in the Abyss

The eternal themes of the Abyss involved darkness, killings, and devouring. The powerful Devil Lords did as they pleased, while the inferior devil species’ were reduced to food others feeding upon.

Here, countless devils and monsters roared. Every moment, a new devil was born, while a weaker devil species died off.

Time moved twenty times faster here than in Maria’s World. It had been more than a thousand years since the Abyss World had appeared, and if its age was traced back to when it was the painting space, the Abyss World was even older than this krynnspace.

While the devils were mostly unsystematic and relied more on their natural progression, this also meant that, regarding sheer numbers, they had far more high-end combat powers compared to Maria’s World.

Following the appearance of the Devil Lords, the countless space bubbles in the Abyss World had started to divide their world into separate regions. Each Devil Lord needed to reach level four as they fused with the Will of the Abyss, mastered the Rule Power of their respective Abyss layer, and received the support of the Abyss Power.

As more Devil Lords appeared, every Devil Lord only needed to kill another Devil Lord in order to take everything from him, including his territory. For this reason, within each devil species, there were often wars and annexations among the different races.

This led to the Abyss splitting into many layers. At the same time, the Abyss kept on expanding. After more than a thousand years, the Abyss bitwall was more than ten times larger than its original size.

Currently, there was an Abyss layer that was near the core of the Abyss that belonged to the Sidikuya Devils. This was the most ferocious race among all of the devil species, and as such, Sidikuya proclaimed itself to be the King of Devils. This naturally meant that the Sidikuya race possessed the largest Abyss layer, which was the First Abyss Layer.

Within the First Abyss Layer, there lived numerous legions of devils. Apart from the Sidikuya species, there were other species that were living under the rule of Sidikuya.

Within the layers of the dark mountain ranges, there were countless devil lairs. Inside these lairs, there was a large amount of architecture that mimicked human beings’ architecture. The King of Devils lived in a big palace that was guarded by countless strong devils.

At this very moment, hordes of devil armies had been summoned to the palace of the King of Devils. In the darkness, countless devils were entering this city of monsters. They were just about to pass through the Abyss Gate in the sky to reach another world and wage a raging war…

“No!”

“Who on earth are you?”

“How can this be? I am the King of Devils! I am the most powerful of all!”

All of the monsters were exclaiming as they looked into the sky, while fear welled up within them. Brilliant rays of light continuously shone through the dimensional folds to permeate the First Abyss Layer, and as it shattered the unending darkness, the land lit up, instantly becoming bright.

Then, a giant palm descended from the skies to press the powerful Devil Lord firmly to the ground. A halo, resembling the clouds from faraway skies, then emerged from the palm.

It radiated waves that overturned miles of surrounding land. Devils that the waves touched were either blasted away or dissipated under its immense energy.

Then, one by one, the wise and powerful devil species looked at the sky. They were, about to attack another world with great gusto. But, at the moment, they simply laid on the ground, paralyzed with fear. They had never seen anything more frightening!

“The Will of the Abyss!” an Abyss devil said as it bent down low and trembled.

Soon, all of the other devils began whispering among themselves…

“It is the Will of the Abyss!”

“Apart from the Will of the Abyss, there cannot be another presence this powerful!”

Most of the devils did not even have the courage to raise their eyes to look at it. They seemed to be pinned on the ground, paralyzed by this great force.

Then, a massive Divine Shadow appeared in the skies. As it existed beyond this space as it looked down at the entire Abyss Layer, no one could see its appearance very clearly. They could only see a light that seemed to cover the entire horizon, as well as a pair of eyes that were so large that they resembled cracks in the horizon.

The light that radiated from the eyes seemed to shine from a place that was above the skies, shooting downward toward somewhere beneath the clouds. The scene resembled how a giant that was outside a box might observe ants that were inside the box.

The godlike gaze continued to radiate light doward as it scanned the First Abyss Layer. These lower-class devil species, who once indulged in killings and were constantly devouring each other, fell to the ground, trembling. They were all frightened beyond words.

“Let me go! Wretched thing, let me go!” Sidikuya, the King of Devils, struggled and twisted as it cried out.

Its numerous tentacles danced wildly, piercing through the space and overturning the ground. As it struggled, its blood dyed the sky red. However, even though it struggled violently, it just couldn’t break free or escape. Hence, fear and anxiety started to well up within Sidikuya.

It felt like it had reverted to what it was more than a thousand years ago, when it was at its weakest. In this moment, it was helpless, afraid, cautious and wary because everything around it was so fearsome. It realized that a random force from those powerful devil species could actually kill it!

“No. You cannot do this! I will not die here! Please! Have mercy on me!” Sidikuya shouted as the Divine Shadow crushed the Abyss Gate with one hand, then grabbed Sidikuya with the other. Then, like it was grabbing a baby chick, the Divine Shadow plucked Sidikuya out of the First Abyss Layer.

“King of Devils!”

“Sidikuya, my Majesty!”

“Has Sidikuya been taken?”

All the devils could only look on and exclaim in shock as Sidikuya was taken away by an entity that existed beyond the Abyss Layer. They couldn’t believe their eyes, as this was Sidikuya, the great Devil Lord that had ruled the entire Abyss Layer for more than a thousand years, the most powerful devil in the Abyss!

The light pierced through the dimensional folds and cracks that were everywhere in the Abyss. Then, it left quickly and sped toward the core of the Abyss.

With Sidikuya in his hand, Lu Zhiyu raced towards the core of the Abyss. The core was considered forbidden land, and all of the devils that neared it would be dragged into it by the Will of the Abyss, becoming immediately assimilated into it. This was the core of the Abyss Power, the source of all of the devils!

“It has almost taken form!” Lu Zhiyu exclaimed.

In the darkness, a giant Divine Shadow appeared in the core belt of the Abyss. It was an existence that was as big as the Black Hole!

It spinned endlessly, releasing the strong powers of the Abyss that radiated throughout the entire Abyss bitwall. All of the devils were birthed from the power it radiated, and when they died, their wills would eventually return to it.

The Divine Shadow was so big that it seemed like it could fill up the entire horizon. But, as it stood before this gigantic Black Hole, it seemed miniscule, like a large spaceship that hovered before a planet in a dark and quiet universe.

This was the core of the bottomless Abyss, the center and the deepest part of the Abyss World. This was the source energy that Lu Zhiyu had used to create the devils!

When the devils were created more than a thousand years ago in Abyss time, this was but a miniscule entity, and the whole world had not yet been turned into the Abyss. After more than a thousand years of evolution, the Abyss had completely taken shape.

This present Abyss World was the world that Lu Zhiyu had created as an experiment in order to step out of level nine. It would now take its first step toward becoming a real world!

Lu Zhiyu looked towards Sidikuya as it struggled persistently in Lu Zhiyu’s palm. Sidikuya’s body, which was the size of a skyscraper, was evolved continuously as it underwent rounds of destruction and regeneration. Although Sidikuya’s numerous tentacles tore through the sky like chains, releasing great energy, Sidikuya still could not escape.

“Didn’t you want to become stronger and become a divinity? Let me fulfill your wish!” Lu Zhiyu yelled as he clenched Sidikuya in his palm and reached his hand into the Will of the Abyss.

At that moment, the giant Black Hole released an immense energy that crept onto Sidikuya bit by bit. In an instant, Sidikuya’s body grew exponentially and the Flame of the Devil burnt endlessly, with him at its core.

“No! I don’t want it! I don’t want anything! Have mercy on me!” Sidikuya yelled, while struggling persistently. It was so afraid that it no longer resembled a powerful Devil Lord, but resembled a feeble lamb instead.

But, the Will of the Abyss invaded it endlessly, assimilating it into itself. Its power kept growing and expanding, progressing from level six until it gradually crossed the barrier of matter and headed straight toward level seven.

Sidikuya could feel the Will of the Abyss empowering it as large amounts of Rule Power and Rule Will flowed into its brain. What would have typically made Sidikuya ecstatic, was now making it roar hysterically. This was because it could feel itself losing control of its body, bit by bit.

“You scoundrel! Let me go! Please, I beg you! Have mercy on me!” As Sidikuya continued to struggle, it became a giant ball of flesh.

Then, Flame of the Devil kept expanding and leaping, slowly losing its original form. As the Flame of the Devil grew, it finally transformed into a massive ball of fire, which obscured the entire sky and became even larger than the Divine Shadow.

It continued to strengthen as the energy from the Will of the Abyss kept flowing in and empowering it until it was completely assimilated. Finally, it had evolved into a gargantuan monster star that was shooting forth big flames and light. As it revolved around the Will of the Abyss, it morphed into a huge sun.

The sun was blood-red, and it emitted rays that were the color of blood and possessed a special force that belonged to the Abyss. From the center of the Abyss World, a light pierced through the dimensional folds, shooting outward relentlessly.

Then, the seemingly endless darkness dissipated within and between the layers of the Abyss. At that moment, every devil and monster crept out of its lair.

A weak ray of light slowly appeared in the layers of the Abyss. The light intensified as warmth and brilliance were cast on every devil.

Then, a blood-red sun appeared above the skies and shone on the lands of the Abyss. All of the devils were at a loss and could not fathom what it was. They all wondered… What is this red disc in the sky?

As the sunlight blanketed the lands slowly, its rays of light exposed a world that used to be pitch black. The contours of the land gradually became visible to the eye. As the devils were terrified by the existence of light, they shrank back into their lairs.

“The rate of time loss has decreased! The rules are being perfected!” Lu Zhiyu could sense the change in the Abyss World immediately.

Sidikuya had morphed into the Blood Sun of the Abyss, thus introducing a critical rule to the Abyss World. Sidikuya was the first to become the Great King of Devils in the Abyss World.

But, at the moment, Sidikuya was sealed in the sun by Lu Zhiyu, condemned to the core of the Abyss. Sidikuya could no longer move, much less leave. It could only revolve around the Will of the Abyss forever.
