Chapter 1159 - War (1/2)

He had previously gotten the news that there was a rising Evil Bone Demon named Steer a few hundred kilometers away. He rose up at a terrifying speed, and the territory he controlled in less than a year spread over a few hundred kilometers.

With such a high profile and such a rapid rise, Lin Yun couldn’t think of anything else except that Bronze Beastman.

Before even going to get rid of that idiot, he delivered himself to his door to easily be killed…

The new territory was waiting to be taken over, and after visiting his new territory, Lin Yun discovered a large amount of natural resources. It was a pity that Steer simply didn’t pay attention to these resources which were extremely precious in Noscent.

It was because he simply had no way to take away these resources.

When they left the Abyss, all they could take with them was their own souls, so they couldn’t take anything from here.

But Lin Yun could. These precious resources were thrown into his Demiplane in large piles.

As his level slowly increased, Lin Yun’s path to conquest hadn’t stopped there. As long as he didn’t die, he would keep on seizing resources.

A Level 35 pureblood Flame Demon controlled a territory spanning close to a thousand kilometers. After the news of Lin Yun killing Steer spread, the Lords of a few smaller territories in the surroundings decisively chose to acknowledge allegiance.

After discovering that the new lord was a pureblood Flame Demon who loved to collect various materials and resources, a large amount of valuable natural resources were delivered to Lin Yun as gifts.

Lin Yun picked up an Abyssal Vampiric Tree’s core but it turned into charcoal and broke down into ashes. He then looked at his lava covered hands and sighed.

‘No wonder pureblood Flame Demon’s territories are volcanoes full of lava or flaming areas rich in fire elements.

‘So many treasured materials can’t even be touched, alchemy tools would be burnt to ashes, and even solid metal would become molten in a couple seconds.

‘It’s no wonder that the Abyss’ alchemy wasn’t very developed. Most Demons can’t even touch alchemy tools. Aside from those magic books made from the hide of powerful monsters, anything coming in contact with their bodies would be ruined by their magic power.

‘Thinking about it, this truly seems to be the case. The magic books in the Abyss are a kind of powerful Magic Tool that can record knowledge, they are very rare and each one would be treated as a Magic Tool.’

Walking out of that warehouse storing all kinds of materials, Lin Yun turned to glance at the burnt door and helplessly sighed.

“Bajiao, why has the conquest slowed down?”

Lin Yun kicked Bajiao who was waiting outside the door and the burning lava scalded him into letting a miserable scream.

Bajiao, who had already become a low level Demon, hurriedly rushed over and explained with some hesitation, “Great Master, your territory has already reached two thousand kilometers, and seven of the eight Lords of small adjacent territories have already acknowledged allegiance. As for the last one, he has already been eliminated.

“But if your territory expands a little bit more, we would be invading the territory of steel forts. The rulers in the four directions are very powerful Demons, three of them are Demon Overlords while the last one is a Level 39 Peak Lesser Demon Overlords.

Their armies are very powerful and they have a huge number of Demons. The northern side’s ruler already dispatched an envoy requesting Master to serve them…”

As Bajiao spoke, he cautiously looked at Lin Yun’s expression. Seeing his expression becoming bad, he immediately added, “Master is a powerful pureblood Flame Demon, how could Master serve a Bone Demon? That dogsh*t envoy has already been killed and fed to the Crawlers.

“And that idiot Bone Demon is just waiting to be turned to ashes by Master’s great flames…”

‘Damn, fortunately I was clever and had that arrogant and violent envoy captured. I knew that Master would definitely look down on the Bone Demon. It’s only a Bone Demon, yet he dares to request a pureblood Flame Demon like Master to serve him? That’s just courting death.

‘His soul is destined to be thrown into a bottomless abyss of torture. Right, after leaving I have to personally get rid of that stupid envoy. The taste of a Goat-horned Demon is pretty good but the smell is a bit heavy… Forget it, I’ll just throw it to the Crawlers, they aren’t picky about food. The great Bajiao is already a Demon, how could I casually eat this kind of filthy food…’

The war resumed and the large abyssal armies were thrown into a long and drawn-out war. The number of lifeforms within these two thousand kilometers was enough to support this lasting war.

These abyssal lifeforms were like weed growing after the rain. As long as they had something to eat, then even if a lot died, they would just keep reproducing, and the battlefield was the best location to harvest food.

This war was bound to last a very long time. During that time, Lin Yun kept absorbing Mana Water to level up.

On the other end, Demons that suddenly emerged at a rapid speed kept appearing in this layer. A dozen Demons of various races were constantly fighting.

After more than a year, the humans and Beastmen powerhouses were over Level 30. With the experience of advancing to the Heaven Rank, even if they had reincarnated as Demons, they would still level up rapidly.

Plundering resources was the only way to accelerate this rate.

And to have enough resources, they had to expand their own territory, and in order to expand their own territory, they had to go to war.

Not everyone was as unlucky as Lin Yun to be surrounded by three Demon Overlords and a Peak Lesser Demon Overlord.

Morgan was among the lucky ones, he had reincarnated underground. That place was chaotic and without a single wisp of light. Moreover, Darkness Demons had the most supreme bloodline there.

In the well-connected underground, he killed another Darkness Demon and occupied his underground city. Large amount of natural resources kept being delivered to Morgan. He kept all the resources that could help him rapidly level up and divided the rest between his subordinate Demons.

In the selfish and greedy Demon world, a generous ruler would easily attract a lot of loyal subordinates. And more importantly, a Black Dragon Overlord was slumbering in the deepest part of the underground, next to the entrance to the next layer. There was simply no Demon Overlord existing there.

Morgan rapidly grew stronger and stronger and the entire underground world’s resources rapidly converged towards him, naturally increasing his leveling speed by a lot.

…

Cross was among the unlucky ones. This Peak 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse had reincarnated in a relatively desolate area, an impoverished zone without too much resources. As he wanted to expand towards an area rich in resources, he ended up facing a Demon Overlord.

One had to be cautious if they wanted to plunder resources. Even if he had been a Peak 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse, he was now a Level 33 Demon. A Demon Overlord’s slap could kill him a few times.

Clombton was also miserable. A holy light mage in the Abyss was a heresy. Any low level holy light spell would be felt by a Demon Overlord over a hundred kilometers. Thus, Clombton could only discard all his holy light spells and switch to suitable demonic magic. This was the biggest torture to a pious follower of the holy light.

Killing those abyssal lifeforms didn’t pose any pressure on Clombton, but the sinister abyssal power was the most twisted thing to Clombton.

After such a long time, the Peak 3rd Rank powerhouse should have grasped everything as if it was his own body, but he barely reached Level 30.

But they weren’t the worst off, Dubois was the most sullen. The others all reincarnated as Demons, only Dubois reincarnated as an abyssal magic beast.

Because this was the only abyssal lifeform he found with lightning power. But if one wasn’t a Demon, wanting to capture a territory in the Abyss would be a joke.

Unless a magic beast was a Magic Beast Overlord, they wouldn’t be able to get the subordinates to develop a territory, as all abyssal lifeforms would look for a Demon as a patron.

The Abyss was the territory of Demons after all. Dubois wanted to occupy a territory and ended up starting a war to plunder resources, but quickly paid the price for his recklessness.

The territory he invaded belonged to a Purple-Eyed Lesser Demon Overlord. After finding out that the invader was a Lightning Eagle, that Level 39 Purple-Eyed Demon personally made a move.

Dubois then earned a new identity, mount of a Purple-Eyed Lesser Demon Overlord…
