274: Recruiting the Lord of the Abyss

Chapter 274: The Abyssal Demon Lord’s Recruitment

It was his first time seeing a shapeshifting Eerie Domain creature, and Wu Xian didn't know how to interact with it.

He was certainly wary, but the other party didn't seem to intend to attack immediately, after all, it was a shapeshifting Eerie Domain creature with a brain.

The howling Yin wind and ghostly shadows gradually enveloped the two of them.

The eerie man stood suspended in mid-air, curiously observing Wu Xian and Xue Lingling, “You are indeed two good seedlings. Are you willing to follow my Lord?”

“No, who are you?” Xue Lingling was utterly confused, “And who is your Lord?”

“My Lord is the great Lord of the Abyss, the Eerie Domain God of Death,” the eerie man said proudly, “You should have heard of my Lord’s name.”

“That… Abyssal Demon Lord?”

Wu Xian and Xue Lingling exchanged surprised glances, feeling a sense of curiosity.

“This seat has been ordered to patrol various parts of the Abyss to select excellent followers for my Lord,” the eerie man chuckled, “As long as you two sincerely follow my Lord, you will receive the gift of power from my Lord.”

Wu Xian’s expression was strange, “Your Excellency, have you made a mistake? We are not Eerie Domain creatures.”

“This seat is not blind,” the eerie man snorted coldly, “In my Lord’s eyes, there is no difference between the living beings of different realms. As long as you are willing to pursue my Lord, my Lord doesn’t mind bestowing a Law upon your scrolls, allowing you to pursue the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth alongside my Lord.”

Hearing this, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling exchanged shocked glances.

They originally thought that the Abyssal Demon Lord was only searching for and recruiting powerful Eerie Domain creatures in the Mysterious Abyss, but they didn’t expect him to be willing to accept human transcendent scrolls as well.

“Have other humans accepted?” Wu Xian asked curiously.

“Of course,” the eerie man said noncommittally.

“What can we gain by following the Abyssal Demon Lord?”

The eerie man smiled slightly, “My Lord will perform a divine shaping on your Undead System scrolls, injecting the Law imprint of the Eerie Domain God of Death, making your scrolls possess even greater power.”

The more Wu Xian listened, the stranger it became, “Then… what’s the price?”

“Price?” The eerie man was stunned, “This is my Lord’s compassionate grace; there is no price.”

“Oh.”

Wu Xian and Xue Lingling curled their lips dismissively. Who would believe such words?

Even the powerful Eerie Domain creatures in the Mysterious Abyss probably wouldn’t believe it.

“What if we don’t accept?” Xue Lingling asked with a narrowed smile.

The eerie man’s lips curved, “Then this seat will only be able to treat you two as invaders from the human world.”

Wu Xian and the other understood.

In short, it was: those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish.

“A Rank 42 Lord, and with the blessing of that new era God of Death,” Wu Xian made a quick assessment, then looked at Xue Lingling, “How about it, do you have confidence?”

Xue Lingling smiled confidently, clearly ready for battle, “This divine power fragment must be quite substantial.”

Yes, the two had already set their sights on the other party’s divine power fragment.

Seeing this, the eerie man was clearly stunned. The two in front of him seemed to have never taken him seriously from the beginning.

“Ignorant humans, you know nothing of my Lord’s power—!”

As the man coldly snorted, surging Yin Qi churned, and an astonishing Aura spread out, as if the Heaven and Earth power of the entire Mysterious Abyss was pressing down on the two in an instant.

That astonishing Aura was almost comparable to the Divine Might of the scroll [fallen god].

If it were any other human Spirit Master, they would probably have wet themselves on the spot.

“Such strong pressure!”

As Wu Xian clicked his tongue in wonder, the netherworld divine map above his head unfurled.

Beside him, Xue Lingling also unfurled her Ghost Emperor series divine scroll at the same time.

The Aura of the two great divine scrolls surged and intertwined, forming a powerful spiritual Aura that dispelled the eerie man’s “Divine Might.”

On Wu Xian’s side, he directly summoned Zhong Kui and King Qinguang.

After this period of improvement, his bronze scroll King Qinguang had been upgraded to a silver scroll King Qinguang, and his Rank had also been raised to six stars.

As King Qinguang appeared, the Yin Qi of the Mysterious Abyss circulated, and brilliant light shone. Zhong Kui rode a fierce tiger, his already ferocious face appearing even more menacing under King Qinguang’s Aura.

On Xue Lingling’s side, she simultaneously released three gold scroll Ghost Emperors.

The nearby Netherworld Soldiers naturally gathered behind the two of them.

The eerie man, who was showing off a second ago, was now too shocked to speak, “This, this, this… How could humans possess such Undead System scrolls?”

On those several Undead System scrolls, the eerie man actually felt a hint of the Aura and Divine Might that only the Abyssal Demon Lord possessed.

The only difference was that the Abyssal Demon Lord had already attained the Dao, while these several scrolls in front of him had not yet attained the Dao and could not truly control the Laws of Heaven and Earth and the power of the Great Dao.

But even so, it was enough to make his hair stand on end.

Looking at the circulating Law rhymes within the two divine scrolls above the two humans, it made his scalp tingle even more.

Previously, when he was assigned to such a remote place, the eerie man was quite unwilling, as the more remote the place, the less merit there was to gain.

Throughout his investigation, he had hardly encountered any potentially powerful Eerie Domain creatures.

However, the Undead System scrolls of these two humans in front of him utterly dumbfounded him.

If he could bring them under the Abyssal Demon Lord’s command, it would definitely be a great achievement.

It’s just… he seemed to be no match for them.

An opportunity was right in front of him, but he himself was ineffective.

Before he could recover from his shock, the two human Scroll Masters had already launched a fierce assault on him, completely leaving him no chance of survival.

And the Aura of each of those scrolls made him feel an involuntary shiver, a sense of being unable to resist.

“Great Lord of the Abyss, Eerie Domain God of Death, your subordinate has important news to report… Save… me…”

Wu Xian frowned, immediately releasing a surging wealth Qi to seal off the entire area, lest the other party truly summon the Abyssal Demon Lord.

At the same time, Xue Lingling also launched a powerful offensive immediately.

“You two, let’s talk!”

Seeing his communication with the Abyssal Demon Lord blocked and isolated, the eerie man completely panicked.

The next second, he saw dark clouds covering the sky above, and large streaks of lightning poured down.

King Qinguang, within the brilliant light, was awe-inspiring without anger. With a raise of his hand, he transformed into a colossal hand that blotted out the sky and pressed down on the eerie man.

In his urgency, the eerie man quickly transformed into his original form, which was a uniquely shaped, four-unlikes beast-type Undead creature, with a tiger’s head, a lion’s tail, Qilin feet, and scales covering its body.

“Huh?”

Not only was Wu Xian stunned, but even King Qinguang and Zhong Kui showed a hint of hesitation.

Only Xue Lingling’s three Ghost Emperors showed no hesitation, fiercely battling with the beast-type Undead.

“Shifu Jie, I remember you once said that a divine power fragment that matches the scroll’s concept can be directly used as the core material for a jade scroll, right?” Wu Xian asked excitedly.

“That’s right,” Xue Lingling said noncommittally, “What? Do you have an idea for this Eerie Domain creature?”

“Exactly,” Wu Xian nodded excitedly, his eyes shining.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A Rank 42 Lord monster was still very powerful, especially with the power blessing from the Abyssal Demon Lord.

The Netherworld Soldiers on the field were swallowed up in large numbers by the strange Undead beast in a blink of an eye, and it fought back and forth with the three great Ghost Emperors, “Hmm~ the power Veins of these little ghosts?”

After devouring many Netherworld Soldiers, the Undead beast’s Aura greatly increased, becoming more courageous as it fought.

A hint of greed gradually appeared in its originally fearful eyes.

It seemed that the power provided by the Netherworld Soldiers was greatly beneficial to him.

“Hahahaha… This seat truly has some heavenly Luck!”

At this moment, he suddenly had a premonition that if he could devour this group of Undead System scrolls in front of him, his Divine Power core might be able to advance to a higher Rank, perhaps even directly transforming into a King Rank.

From childhood to adulthood, he had always felt a mysterious Luck, growing from an insignificant small Eerie Domain creature to his current form, which could be described as smooth sailing all the way.

Not long ago, he even received enlightenment from a True God of this era, allowing him to shapeshift ahead of time.
