Chapter 1053B – Shadowless Demon

This was three Demon Commander level demon beasts with intelligence. If there wasn’t a special reason, why would they just happen to appear in the beast tide outside Great Deer City?

The destruction of Sable Abyss City in the past had shaken the entire abyss. Every abyssal demon knew about it so it was easy to make the connection.

As he thought about what Old Fox and Black Astral spoke of before, his heartbeat started to quicken. Perhaps they already knew where this thing was located.

The reason they wanted to find a third Demon Commander was to obtain this thing. Then with it as the price, they would ask an Abyssal King to help them resolve the crisis.

This act would not only extinguish the problem of the beast tide, but they would even obtain a favor from an Abyssal King.

It was no wonder that the two of them would compete so intensely for this opportunity, even dragging in Demon Commanders that they were close to.

The ranks within the abyss were strictly segregated. The strength gap between each rank was astonishing.

And the disparity between a Demon Commander and Demon King was one of the greatest gaps. There was simply no comparing the two sides.

If any Demon Commander could obtain a favor from an Abyssal Demon King, that represented a lifesaving card.

If they encountered some difficulty they couldn’t come, as long as they were able to summon an Abyssal Demon King then they could melt away the disaster.

But Shadowless Demon didn’t think this was it…

If this matter involved a formidable Demon King that even he didn’t dare to provoke, then he would agree with Old Fox and Black Astral.

But what if this Demon King’s strength wasn’t that terrifying? If so, he could find a chance to take away this treasure.

As for the matter of what consequences that would lead to, and whether this Lord Demon King and Thousand Eye Temple would chase him down, he didn’t feel any dread at all.

This was because he had landed on far too many similar killing lists before. It was said that if a person had too many louses then they no longer felt the itches. What did he care if he was on a few more killing lists?

Of course, this was all based on the premise that this treasure was sufficiently precious…but even an idiot could guess that if there was a treasure that could quicken changes within a beast tide and even cause an Abyssal King to move without hesitation, then it had to be valuable.

But Old Fox’s next words were like a cold bucket of water poured on Shadowless Demon’s fiery heart. They directly extinguished it.

“That’s true and also not true.” Old Fox lowered his voice, his face even more dignified as he said, “To be exact, what caused the beast tide to change is not a treasure, but a person.”

Shadowless Demon’s eyes widened. “A person?”

Black Astral coldly sneered, “Don’t be in a hurry to be disappointed, because we will only introduce you to His Excellency as a bargaining chip. And for this reason, you will have to agree to help us resolve the beast tide crisis outside the city!”

Shadowless Demon paled. He coldly said, “Are you two using me as a joke? Are you really unafraid that I won’t spread news of this matter!?”

Black Astral’s sneer deepened. “So? Are you feeling dissatisfied? Let me tell you something, even if it is an Abyssal King, they will do everything in their power to know this person!” A look of veneration rose from deep in his heart and started shining in his eyes, “Because this person stands at the peak of all demonic refining masters. He is a formidable and incomparably honored Abyss Walker!”

Bang –

Shadowless Demon staggered and almost knocked over a nearby vase. He managed to grab something and stabilize himself, blurting out, “Abyss Walker? Are you speaking the truth?”

Old Fox nodded. “Of course it’s the truth. If not for this, why would we be willing to take the risk to end the beast tide! As long as we can do this then we will be able to leave a favorable impression on His Excellency. You should understand what this means. I won’t be spelling it out for you.”

An Abyssal Demon King was indeed terrifying. What they represented was a nearly irresistible destructive force. If so, then an Abyss Walker represented nearly unimaginable good fortune.

Even an Abyssal Demon King would hope that they could be on good terms with an Abyss Walker. This represented a possibility that they could continue to grow stronger.

As for hatred or enmity…even the Demon Dragon Clan would never allow an Abyss Walker to stand on the opposite side of their clan.

Because no one knew what sort of terrifying consequences this would result in.

So at this time, even though Shadowless Demon obtained Old Fox’s confirmation, his mind still rumbled and he couldn’t believe half of it.

The abyss was infinite. In addition to some other hidden spaces, even now no one knew how many layers there were. Tens of thousands of tribes were born, and while there were the weak and the strong, there were still thousands of Abyssal Demon Kings.

Each Demon King was the greatest existence of their tribe and they also obtained a partial approval from the abyss’ will. Comparatively speaking, even if the number of Abyss Walkers was increased by a hundredfold, they still might not be able to match the numbers of Abyssal Demon Kings.

Why would an existence that stepped on the peak of the abyss appear in the little Great Deer City?

Alright, even if he did appear here, why was there no news about it? If it was true, then he feared the entirety of Great Deer City would be flooded with guests by now, swarming in from all sides to greet this person.

The master of this abyss layer, the Hellhound King, would personally come to greet the Abyss Walker.

But at present, all Shadowless Demon saw was a city that was in imminent danger of collapsing to the beast tide. Nothing described above was happening.

You want to lie to me? Okay, even if you are spinning a story, there is no need to talk about something so ridiculous!

Shadowless Demon drew in a deep breath, “Old Fox, you and I can still be considered all acquaintances. After I received your message I hurried all the way here to deliver that thing you wanted. I acknowledge that I secretly listened in on your conversation and that was wrong of me, but since we are going to cooperate, you should honestly tell me everything from start to finish.”

A cold light flashed in his eyes and his expression became increasingly sour. “You should know that I go where I wish and I always keep my promises. If you lie to me, then I vow to you that I will have you pay a heavy price no matter the cost!”

“Of course, I can be responsible for everything I say. It is true that there is an Abyss Walker hiding in Great Deer City right now. Before today, only I and Black Astral knew of this matter. Including you, no more than three know of this.” Old Fox paused for a moment as if organizing his thoughts. “The story is like this…”

He slightly changed some points and then reiterated what happened with Thousand Eye Temple and the Merry Forest that led to him discovering Qin Yu’s status. This was because all of these things were facts and there were naturally no flaws to them.

Shadowless Demon’s eyes became increasingly bright. His intuition told him that Old Fox wasn’t lying.

And his formidable intuition was a great ability that his demon bloodline granted him.

As he wandered through the abyss and collected numerous treasures throughout the years, he had fallen into dangerous situations numerous times.

The reason that Shadowless Demon was able to overcome obstacle after obstacle was mostly due to his formidable Demon Commander level strength.

But his intuition played a role of at least 30%.

So when it came to his intuition, Shadowless Demon was much more confident than others.

“Where is the super mighty invincibility pill?” Right now, all he needed was evidence to calm his surging heart.

Cow Sledgehammer and Big Mountain were no secrets in Great Deer City. He could inquire into this news at any moment after he left Thousand Eye Temple.

To continuously help two low level demons stimulate the formidable demon bloodline hiding within their own, this was a level of strength only Abyss Walkers had.

As long as the super mighty invincibility pill had the same energy and prestige that Old Fox spoke of, he could easily determine the truth.

Old Fox had a dignified expression. He took out a black box formed from black demon crystals. It was so dark that even its surface seemed to swallow light.

He put it down and said, “The demon medicine is inside. But let me warn you of something Brother Shadowless Demon. His Excellency Liu Huo is likely in a process of self-exile and doesn’t hope that his process is disturbed. Thus, if you reveal any information about Liu Huo, it might lead to your own destruction. When that happens it won’t be just you – the two of us will also be implicated.”

Only when he saw Shadowless Demon nod in agreement did he let go of the box.

Shadowless Demon took out a super mighty invincibility pill. With just one glance, his heart skipped a beat.

That’s right, this was the feeling. Although he hadn’t tested this demon medicine for himself yet, he was a veteran who had come into contact with countless treasures before. During the long span of his profession, he had cultivated a strong ability to discriminate.

He could tell if something was a truly precious treasure with just one look.

It was because of this that his countless victims itched to root him out. No matter how well they had hidden something, no matter how well it was disguised, as long as Shadowless Demon patronized them then their treasure would be stolen away.

He placed the pill beneath his nose and took a sniff. His entire body was given a shock. He subconsciously closed his eyes, his body shivering.

This scent…this scent…

It wasn’t wrong, he absolutely wouldn’t get this wrong!

Many years ago, when he was at the peak of the Demon General realm, he once stole a demon medicine sealed in a jade box during a theft.

Of course, it wasn’t entirely easy. Because when he was about to leave, he felt that this demon medicine wasn’t ordinary.

Afterwards he welcomed down the most terrifying chase of his memory. The Demon Commander he patronized seemed to have gone crazy, issuing out sky-high rewards to hunt him down.

It was during this time as he was being chased down that he broke through his limits. His demon bloodline evolved and he ascended to the Demon Commander boundary.

And that demon medicine was the key that helped Shadowless Demon step beyond the precipice of death and take that one final step to becoming a Demon Commander.

After that, the Demon Commander who couldn’t hunt him down finally gave up, drowning in despair and sorrow.

A long time later, Shadowless Demon unintentionally discovered the truth. It seemed that the demon medicine he stole had come from an Abyss Walker.

This matter was forever branded in his mind. He naturally couldn’t forget the unusual characteristics of that demon medicine.

This was the reason why Shadowless Demon was confident he could resolve his suspicions through the super mighty invincibility pill.

And now he had found his answer.

Yes, Old Fox and Black Astral weren’t lying to him. This was a demon medicine that came from an Abyss Walker.

In other words, all of this was real!

After determining this, only then did the true psychological impact of this revelation strike him. This was because he understood the significance of an Abyss Walker.

Abyssal Demon King…

It had been many years since he broke into the Demon Commander boundary and he had given up on this hopelessly faraway dream. Because even if he stole more treasures, even if he grew stronger, he would still be a long, long distance away from obtaining the will of the abyss. So long that it left him wallowing in despair.

But now, that dream he had given up on had begun to emit light once again.

If one didn’t want to become an Abyssal Demon King then they weren’t a true demon. This was something that was marked in the hearts of every single abyssal demon.

Shadowless Demon was no exception!

He had to grasp this chance no matter what. Even if he had to take an enormous risk for it, it would be worth it. He carefully put the demon medicine back in the jar and turned around. He walked away, vanishing into thin air.

“Once you are all prepared, I will naturally appear and leave the city with you to kill the demon beasts controlling the beast tide!”
