Chapter 10

A week later.

At this moment, Er Dongsheng was crouched beside a strange plant, carefully observing something. This was a peculiar abyssal plant, somewhat similar to ferns on Earth, growing lush and unremarkably there. This kind of plant was very common in the abyss, serving as food for many herbivorous abyssal creatures.

What was he observing?

At this moment, Er Dongsheng cautiously looked around, not detecting any danger. He raised his sharp claws and forcefully peeled away the dense weeds in front of him, revealing a hole the size of a bowl.

Er Dongsheng instantly beamed with joy.

This hole was very deep. Since the abyssal rainy season had just passed, the ground was particularly damp and cold, and wisps of cold air could be clearly seen rising from the hole.

This was the den of the Toto Beast.

The abyssal Toto Beast, the lowest existence in the abyssal food chain, fed on plant roots and decaying leaves of abyssal trees. Occasionally, it wouldn't mind trying decaying animal carcasses.

Thus, this abyssal creature could be considered an omnivorous species, with no offensive capabilities and extremely poor defensive abilities. However, it possessed unparalleled speed, making it almost impossible for most abyssal creatures to catch.

The meat of the abyssal Toto Beast was extremely tender and delicious even when eaten raw. In the past three years, Er Dongsheng had only tasted it a few times, and each time it left him with an unforgettable flavor.

How to describe it? He felt that the abyssal Toto Beast was like an enhanced version of the Australian rabbit, with flexible speed and a similar appearance. Except for being a bit larger and having two small horns on its head, it was essentially an enlarged version of an Australian rabbit!

Quietly crouching behind the hole, making no sound, Er Dongsheng decided to wait for the Toto Beast, or rather, to wait for the Toto Beast to come out.

He sniffed hard, and his keen sense of smell told him that there was a large, plump creature hiding in the hole.

"Tsk tsk, it seems the abyssal rainy season, known as the milk of the abyssal will, has done its job. Even this little guy has grown to this size. Hehe, what a lucky break for me, a feast indeed!"

An excellent abyssal hunter must possess good vision, a keen sense of smell, sharp hearing, and patience. Lacking any of these could mean that one day, they might become prey for other hunters.

Er Dongsheng's demon body had only average physical attributes, which were considered quite poor compared to other high-blooded abyssal creatures. However, through the practice of Chinese martial arts, both internal and external cultivation, his body's basic attributes were rapidly improving. The five colors and five flavors were also growing rapidly, and with the assistance of Daoist heart-cultivation techniques, his mind was as firm as a rock. No matter how strong the other, he remained calm, unaffected by the aura of slaughter, brutality, and fear in the abyss. Instead, he used these vast dark energies to cultivate and transcend himself, like a lotus emerging from the mud, untouched by filth.

In the ancient era, why were the Demon Lords able to lead large numbers of demons to invade one sunny plane after another with such formidable strength?

Why? What was the reason?

The strength of the Demon Lords was one reason, and the aura of the abyss was another. The great will of the abyss emitted an aura with extremely strong infective properties, containing various dark consciousnesses such as killing, brutality, and bloodlust. This made it easy for creatures from sunny planes to be infected by the aura of the abyss, even if they were not influenced by the dark consciousness. They would be forcibly transformed into abyssal creatures, thus being rejected by the sunny planes and falling into the abyss.

Er Dongsheng felt that this was similar to the Burning Legion in Earth's legends, conquering, infecting, and destroying planes, then using the ample forces to continue the cycle of conquest, infection, and destruction. As for why the Demon Lords and demons were so fond of conquering sunny planes, it was unknown.

"Is it just for fun?" Er Dongsheng sneered.

"I don't believe it for a second."

In fact, he would secretly tell you that his greatest ambition was to form his own Burning Legion and conquer planes?

... Embarrassing ...
