Chapter 16: The Abyss Plain

The bottomless abyss.

Here Stephen saw what the real chaos and disorder looked like, every level of the bottomless abyss was filled with pervasive killing, and even the newborn soul worms were devouring each other's own kind in order to transform into low-level demons as quickly as possible. However, the advanced low-level demons are only the beginning of their careers as cannon fodder, and although the intensity of the abyssal bloody battle has been reduced due to the intervention of the gods, there are still millions of demon armies in the bottomless abyss's upper plane. Stephen spent some time in the Forgotten Lands in the upper reaches of the Abyss, where he saw a magnificent arena, the Grumba Arena is the largest arena in the multiverse, where there are a large number of gladiators every day, demons, demons, demons, undead, humans, angels, zergs, eye demons, etc., and even summon elemental bodies and monster bosses from other planes for the existence of the Demon Casino.

The demon lord here is Sauron, the king of the Ballow Flame Demons.

But it's a pity that Stephen didn't meet this powerful demon lord, on the contrary, he only felt the breath of an abyss demon dragon here.

The Bottomless Abyss differs from the Dark Abyss in that it contains the Mother of Worms, a special demigod with a strength close to that of an ancient dragon, who can even sense Stephen's presence and repel anyone from approaching the pool of blood that hatches soul worms. Their existence is similar to that of the Demon Lords, and the range of the blood pool is their territory, so there is still a certain order in the chaotic and bottomless abyss, that is, it is difficult for the demons to attack the lowest-level soul worms, and the difficulty of stealing them is similar to stealing soul power from the River Styx. With the blessing of the Abyssal Blood Pool, the Mother of Worms could easily crush a high-ranking Barlow Flame Demon, and Stephen felt a trace of godlike power in them.

Absolute law of the jungle.

This is the bottomless abyss.

The first layer of the bottomless abyss, the Abyss Plains, is the most mixed place, where there are humans, elves, orcs from the main material plane, as well as demons, demons, undead, and dragons from other planes, and even if you are lucky, you can also meet the Astral Merchant, of course, their goods are very expensive, and the currency here is souls, and gold, silver and jewelry can only be regarded as a kind of goods.

In the bottomless abyss, small transactions are mainly made of gold and jewelry, but large transactions are all settled with souls.

So.

Killing people and ingesting souls here is a serious money-making job.

All the demons operating in the Abyss Plains are merchants, but they also often act as bandits, and only within the confines of the town are the rules of law, and these rules are established by the demon lords with violence.

Stephen's stop is the Broken Domain, where the demon lord is Red Shroud, a powerful succubus.

Succubi is a relatively valuable commodity in the bottomless abyss, and it is not easy for succubi who can generally climb to the level of demon lord. Outside of Broken Domain is a crumbling tower, the blood-red walls are the traces of the bloody battle of the Abyss, the remains of high-ranking demons are still embedded in the walls, and the largest structure here is the catacombs, which contain a large number of undead creatures.

Assassination is a perfectly legal act in the Abyss, only if it is not discovered by the guards who maintain order, then the assassination here does not exist, and many adventurers who rush into the Abyss have their bones buried in the catacombs**.

There are also shadow lichs hiding here, lurking in the deepest parts of the catacombs.

Only the Demon Lord who rules the Fracture can command them, and the Shadow Lich manages the huge swarm of ghouls underground, keeping them from entering the surface to attack others, and of course there are still some unlucky ones who occasionally disappear near the entrance to the catacombs when night comes.

Plague Horn is the largest tavern here.

As soon as Stephen entered, he saw a large field of succubi, dressed in revealing clothing, barely covering three points. The guests in the tavern were quite polite, whether they were demons, devils, demons, or humans, orcs, gray dwarves, etc., from the main material plane, they all maintained a certain degree of respect for these succubi, because the corpses of the guys who dared to touch the abalone in troubled waters were still hanging outside and not completely dried.

"A cup of lava rage. Stephen sat down at the bar.

His arrival attracted the attention of many demons, and the demon of Yugroth secretly looked at him with a cunning and evil gaze, judging the strength of the spellcaster and whether he could eat the stranger in the wilderness.

In the corner of the bar is a night witch shrouded in a gray cloak.

They are herders, collecting the soul worms that roam the wilderness and selling them to demons or devils, who can even sell themselves if the price is right. The hideous, ugly ghost women looked at Stephen with cloudy eyes, they played with the bone beads in their hands, and their eyes fell on Stephen's staff with uncontrollable greed, and the caster's soul was always high in the bottomless abyss.

There are malicious eyes on all sides.

Even those sturdy human mercenaries secretly communicate something, these people are powerful and evil villains in the main material plane, and many of them are murderers who are wanted by the church before venturing into the bottomless abyss. They have been assimilated and polluted by the Abyss, transformed into a kind of half-demonic human, only revealing demonic physical characteristics when out of control, these people are no longer able to leave the Abyss, and when they die, they will automatically transform into the Bottomless Abyss's Invokers.

"Your lava rage. The succubus maiden placed a glass of burning liquor in front of Stephen and blatantly rubbed his arm with the murder weapon.

Her gaze is passionate, hot, and full of lust, full of provocative meaning.

Of course.

There is also malice hidden in the depths of her pupils, she is a high-level ***, banshee, who will absorb the life force of the other party when mating, until she completely sucks the target into a human dry.

Stephen didn't feel any kindness here.

Because a good soul doesn't go into the abyss, if he casts a detection spell here, there will be a blood-red aura everywhere. The high-ranking succubus sitting at the bar looked at Stephen until he drank the burning lava-like liquor in his hand that burned enough to burn ordinary people through their lungs, and then looked away slightly.

The others silently withdrew their gazes as well.

In the bottomless abyss, the weak are not worthy of drinking, wine is a luxury in the bottomless abyss, even the middle and lower level demons do not have the ability to taste fine wine, the wine that demons can drink is mortal deadly poison, in the bottomless abyss, you can sit down and drink a glass of wine is already a manifestation of strength. Stephen's hand was not wine at all, it was the power of liquefied lava elementals, which could make an ordinary person burn into charcoal in an instant.
