504: Enter the Abyss

Qin Shilei once again gazed deeply at the empty Hope City below, then turned and flew towards the Space Rift to the Abyss World.

After some deliberation, he still chose the second layer of the Abyss, where Arons was located, as his destination.

After clearing out the Great Demons near the Space Rift, he took out the Mountain and Rivers Map and handed it to Mu Ziping, who was standing by.

Mu Ziping opened the space of the Mountain and Rivers Map, took Qin Shilei inside, and then flew into the Space Rift.

"Insolent human, how dare you enter our Abyss World!"

As soon as Mu Ziping passed through the Space Rift, he heard a furious roar by his ear.

Immediately following, a bone blade, radiating cold light, slashed down towards his head.

The bone blade was extremely fast, and Mu Ziping instantly realized he couldn't dodge the attack.

Mu Ziping, however, calmly took out the Mountain and Rivers Map, preparing to release Qin Shilei from within.

Clang!

A metallic sound rang out as a sharp bone blade was blocked by a shield that suddenly appeared around Mu Ziping.

Under the impact of the bone blade, several clear cracks appeared on the shield.

But by then, the Mountain and Rivers Map had been fully activated, and Qin Shilei's figure appeared beside Mu Ziping.

"There's another one! Both of you, die!"

The Diamond Realm Flame Demon's aura surged, and the bone blade in his hand once again slashed towards Mu Ziping.

He intended to shatter the opponent's shield with one strike, then cleave the opponent in two with another.

The Flame Demon suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, then realized his incredibly sharp bone blade had been firmly gripped by the blade by the human who had appeared behind him.

He tried to pull it, but the bone blade didn't budge.

Knowing he had encountered an expert, he was about to unleash flames to force the opponent to let go, when he heard a 'crack,' and the bone blade in his hand was instantly broken by the opponent.

"Attack!"

The Flame Demon's expression changed drastically. He released the bone blade and retreated rapidly, shouting loudly, hoping his subordinates could help him block the opponent.

But the opponent merely waved his hand, and the tip of the bone blade transformed into a streak of light, flying towards him.

Before the Flame Demon could react, he felt a sharp pain in his thigh; the bone in his right leg had been severed by the bone blade.

Then, a dazzling flash of lightning appeared, and his surrounding subordinates were instantly incinerated into charcoal, falling to the ground with a thud, then dissipating into dust in the air.

"Your Excellency, spare my life!"

The Flame Demon finally realized he had run into a tough opponent and shamelessly knelt to beg for mercy.

Qin Shilei instantly appeared before him, "Is this the territory of Great Lord Arons?"

The Flame Demon quickly responded, "An area of over a million kilometers is all Great Demon Arons's territory."

Qin Shilei asked again, "Where is Arons now?"

"He should be in his palace," the Flame Demon pointed to the right. "His palace is five to six hundred thousand kilometers from here."

"Within an area of over a million kilometers, are there any other Great Demons besides Arons?" Qin Shilei asked indifferently.

"Each Great Demon rarely enters another Great Demon's territory, so generally, there should only be Arons, one Great Demon, here," the Flame Demon answered every question.

Qin Shilei took out the Faceless Mask, lightly touched the Flame Demon, then casually waved his hand, cleaving the opponent in two with a single sword strike.

Then he unleashed several thunderbolts, completely blasting the opponent into ash.

"Ziping, you should return to the Blessed Land to cultivate."

After taking Mu Ziping into his space, Qin Shilei put on the Faceless Mask, instantly transforming into the appearance of a Flame Demon.

This Flame Demon was two meters tall, with bulging muscles, numerous flame-like tattoos on his body, and a tail emitting orange flames behind him.

Qin Shilei pondered for a moment, then put away the Giant Que Sword in his hand and replaced it with an ordinary purple longsword.

He then flew off in the direction the Flame Demon had just indicated.

As he flew, he observed the Abyss World.

Above, a blood-red sun hung like a dim oil lamp, faint and eerie.

The Abyss World also had many plants, but their leaves were yellowish, giving a sense of autumn desolation.

The entire Abyss World gave Qin Shilei a feeling of suppression and brutality, lacking the vibrant energy of Blue Star and the Insect World.

After flying several hundred kilometers, he suddenly discovered a massive city appearing before his eyes.

The rough city walls were over a hundred meters high, constructed from unknown giant stones.

Qin Shilei had two main objectives for coming to the Abyss World this time.

First, to see if he could find an opportunity to kill Arons.

Second, to see if the Abyss World had any treasures that could accelerate cultivation speed.

Qin Shilei was still unfamiliar with the combat style of the Master Realm and didn't know much about Arons, a Great Demon.

It was not a good idea to rush directly to the opponent and start hacking away with his sword.

Now that there was a city, Qin Shilei decided to enter it to gain a better understanding of the Abyss World.

With a plan in mind, Qin Shilei flew directly towards the city ahead.

Soon, he flew over the city wall and into the city.

The guards on the city wall looked at Qin Shilei with awe but dared not stop him.

After all, a Great Demon who could fly without wings was not someone a small city guard could offend.

Qin Shilei looked down at the streets below and found that the Great Demons in the city were diverse and varied.

There were beast-shaped ones, humanoid ones, those carrying weapons, and those using their own claws and fangs as weapons.

Qin Shilei swooped down and landed on the street below.

As soon as he landed, the various Great Demons around him scattered to a distance.

"This Lord Flame Demon is at least a Platinum Expert; we must not offend him."

"I heard our City Lord particularly dislikes the Flame Demon tribe and once massacred an entire Flame Demon city. I'm afraid there's going to be a good show soon."

"Be careful what you say. It's best not to comment too much on the affairs of important figures like the City Lord."

The surrounding Great Demons secretly eyed Qin Shilei, whispering among themselves.

With great skill comes great courage. Qin Shilei paid no attention to the City Lord who disliked Flame Demons and leisurely walked down the street.

However, he hadn't walked a hundred meters when several figures suddenly flew towards him from the front.

Leading them was a humanoid Great Demon with a dog's head.

The opponent was clearly coming for Qin Shilei, making a turn and flying to within a few meters of Qin Shilei.

"Flame Demon, you are not welcome here. Get out!" the dog-headed Great Demon said coldly.

Qin Shilei's mind raced, and he understood that the opponent might have a grudge against the Flame Demon tribe.

He curled his lips into a faint smile, "I, Andrei, go wherever I please. You can't control me."

The dog-headed Great Demon gritted his teeth and said, "This is Truman's territory, not somewhere a Flame Demon can enter. If I hadn't guessed you were sent by Great Demon Arons to guard the Space Rift, your head would probably be twisted off and kicked around like a ball right now."

Qin Shilei looked at the dog-headed Great Demon and suddenly had an idea, "Why not temporarily take over as City Lord?"
