Chapter 1166 - Waking Up (1/2)

in the sky, a large number of abyssal spells converged into black clouds, which revolved to form a vortex. a thick pillar of black smoke fell in that vortex, in the center of the bloody battlefield.

thick black lightning followed the black smoke and fell onto the ground. the earth split open and a huge volcanic crater appeared. following the appearance of that huge volcanic crater, the boundless abyssal power in the sky transformed into black smoke that poured into this volcanic crater.

the volcano was like a monster coming from underground. it rapidly emerged, and within a few minutes, it turned into a several-kilometer-wide and three-kilometer-tall huge volcano.

loud rumbling sounds echoed as the volcano erupted.

endless lava and flames spread out of the volcano, and the black clouds condensed from the abyssal power also converged there.

small volcanoes also started to appear in the surroundings of that huge volcano. it took less than an hour, for that ten-kilometer-wide area to be filled with volcanoes.

scorching heat filled the volcanoes

seeing this scene, the demons who came to pledge allegiance were thoroughly terrified. they all knelt on the ground and didn’t dare to raise their heads.

the bloodline pressure emitted by the flame demon monarch made these demons afraid of having any other thoughts. they all pledged their eternal loyalty to the flame demon monarch.

after shocking these demons, who were kowtowing so sincerely that their spine could be seen, lin yun felt that he should return.

an altar was built in the demiplane, and then a sacrificial altar was built into the volcanic range. that way, bajiao, who had already awakened his evil bone demon bloodline, could offer the resources lin yun needed as an offering through the sacrificial altar, and the resources would end up being receptioned in lin yun’s demiplane.

that receiving sacrificial altar had an abyssal rune made out of lin yun’s own blood, which could be treated as lin yun personally receptioning the offerings.

moreover, with the large amount of eternal dark gold, defenses were building around the demiplane, and there was no need to worry that someone would find the demiplane because of the sacrificial altar’s array.

he let his subordinates know that their great overlord was going into slumber and that they had to carefully guard his territory and not disturb him regardless of what happens. then, lin yun jumped into that biggest volcano.

he roused that sacrificial power and felt a huge power wrapping around his soul as it rushed out of the abyss.

in that radiant tunnel, lin yun sailed against the flow while that power was continuously being consumed.

after rushing out of that abyssal gate, lin yun’s soul guided him back to his own body. as he entered his body, wisps of mana slowly flickered on the surface of his body. life aura and soul fluctuations also slowly appeared.

in the abyss, cross was the fastest to break through to the heaven rank as a former peak 3rd rank heaven powerhouse. if not for lin yun leaving the abyss before advancing, the first person to return should have been cross.

his huge demonic body thoroughly burst and all of his life and power were used to deliver his soul back. a demon overlord had fallen.

on another side, clombton, who seemed to have fallen in the nastiest place, had no choice but to start using his demonic body to comprehend the law of shadow. cross had left for less than a month when clombton unhesitantly exploded his own body to send his soul back to the raging flame plane.

as for the others, they almost all advanced to level 39. morgan was the luckiest one and used the underground’s resources to quickly advance to the heaven rank.

he was followed by slythrin, who had obtained lin yun’s territory.

in less than a year, regardless of how smooth it had been, almost all the humans and beastmen heaven rank powerhouses advanced their demonic body to the heaven rank.

but they had exploded their demonic bodies, using the life and power of their bodies to deliver their souls back to the raging flame plane.

within that thick fog of rebirth, the corpse-like bodies began emitting mana fluctuations and life fluctuations one after another.

aside from the pitiful souls that fell in the abyss, everyone slowly regained consciousness.

the flow of time in the abyss and the raging flame plane was apparently different, or it might have been because the fog of rebirth weakened the river of time.

within three days, the people who had fallen asleep within the fog of rebirth awakened one after another.

lin yun was the first to regain consciousness. after awakening, the power of the fog of rebirth that seemed to cover his perception and soul power seemed to have disappeared. it looked like only a thin layer of fog remained in the air.

within the fog of rebirth, the bodies of the heaven rank powerhouses seemed to have sunk into a self-protection state and shields had been raised. lin yun found slythrin’s body, as per their agreement and dragged him a fair distance away.

after all, humans and beastmen weren’t especially friendly towards one another, just like how the hatred between sky city and the blood bone beastmen was deeper than their hatred of other forces.

it didn’t matter if they were cooperating now, if there was an opportunity, they would unhesitantly get rid of others unnoticed.

lin yun pushed the sandball containing slythrin to one side, and after thinking for a bit, he gathered the bodies of the other human beings within the fog of rebirth. as for the beastmen, the separated ones were also kicked together.

after all, this was a critical time in the raging flame plane. others might not know, but lin yun was clearly aware of the course of history. the raging flame plane’s power would be thoroughly devoured by the ancient god and the raging flame plane would be thoroughly destroyed.

if history repeated itself, then heaven rank powerhouses would have definitely come here, but there definitely wouldn’t have been that many.

they might have already been annihilated before reaching the depths of the holy mountain. after all, the previous demon overlords and the fog of rebirth wasn’t something a few heaven rank powerhouses would be able to deal with. if there had only been ten heaven rank powerhouses, then they would have already been annihilated.

as time passed, the humans and beastmen’s heaven rank powerhouses slowly regained consciousness, but after three days, there were still six heaven rank powerhouses that had yet to regain consciousness within the fog of rebirth.

on the human side, aside from birbo and dubois, there was also one of the new heaven rank powerhouses. as for the beastmen, there was bronze beastman steer, as well as a black iron beastman, and a blood fang beastman.

from those that didn’t wake up, dubois and birbo’s life aura were continuously dropping and their mana was slowly dissipating. everyone could see with a single glance that it was because their souls had already been destroyed. even if their bodies had the protection of the fog of rebirth, it couldn’t continue supporting them.

as for the remaining people, their bodies no longer had any mind fluctuation and their autonomous defenses were already dissipating. their life aura was fading away.

this meant that their reincarnation in the abyss had already died and their souls had fallen in the abyss, passing into oblivion, unless they met a kind greater demon overlord that personally saved them from their fate and sent them back.

but, everyone knew that if the soul of a heaven rank beastman or human fell in the abyss, the kindest demon would at most not devour their souls right away.

the power of the six bodies was clearly dissipating. once their power thoroughly dissipated, they would transform into ashes, disappearing forever.

“the abyss is indeed dangerous. i hadn’t expected so many people to have fallen. thankfully i was lucky and reincarnated underground. there was only a slumbering black dragon overlord there…

“these unlucky guys might have died soon after reincarnating, so pitiful. their souls were destroyed, but it’s always better than falling into the abyss. it’s always better than encountering a disgusting abyssal devil king.

“wanting to die would be impossible, and they would have to suffer millennia of painful torture before they could die.”

morgan sighed with apprehension, fear still visible on his face.

as for the others, their expressions weren’t so good either. clombton’s complexion was the most unsightly. as a holy light mage, falling into the abyss was no different than a holy light angel falling into the abyss, even if it had only been his soul.

he had to go against his principles as a holy light mage and practice shadow power, that degenerated power in the eyes of holy light mages.

“sir clombton, there is no need to brood over it. the holy light’s radiance would forever shine onto you. this was part of the ancient god’s plot after all.

“the body in the abyss has already turned to ashes and your soul hasn’t been contaminated or corrupted…”
