Grace, followed by a fifth-level Demon, pounced on these fragments and began devouring them voraciously, for these fragments contained Abyss Energy that could evolve them.

"No! Grace, the Demon Lord will not let you go!"

Fred looked fearfully at Grace and then subtly moved behind Bai Yan.

Bai Yan's power had deeply imprinted in his heart, and at this moment, his only hope was that Bai Yan could defeat Grace.

How could Bai Yan not see through Fred's little schemes, but he had no intention of exposing him.

A seventh-level Demon is equivalent to a Demigod-level Abnormal, and Bai Yan could exterminate it with a single sword.

"Interesting, a Demon Army actually contains two sixth-level Demons at the same time."

Grace curiously examined Bai Yan and then waved to the ten sixth-level Demons behind her, commanding, "Go, devour them!"

With Grace's command, ten sixth-level Demons instantly surrounded Bai Yan and Fred.

"Just a mere seventh-level Demon, and yet so arrogant!"

Bai Yan sneered.

Not to mention a seventh-level Enchanting Demon, even the ninth-level Abyss Queen is currently helping him make dragon babies!

This is an Enchanting Demon unaware of its own doom.

"Buzz~!"

Just as Bai Yan was about to slay it, an overwhelming pressure came from the red sky!

Bai Yan looked up and saw five eighth-level Fallen Knights flying towards where he was.

After merging a Nightmare Horse and a Demon Warrior, they would become a Nightmare Knight!

Fallen Knights are evolved from Nightmare Knights and are considered the strongest among eighth-level Demons!

"Damn! It's the Guardians!"

Grace's face went pale, and her enticing red eyes filled with fear.

"It's the Guardians! We are saved!"

Fred said excitedly.

"Guardians? What organization is that?"

Bai Yan asked curiously.

Eighth-level Demons are equivalent to gods with faint Divine Power, so an organization that could have eighth-level Demons join must not be underestimated!

"Great Demon Lord, the Guardians are a Demon Army directly led by the Demon Lord, and the Guardians' ranks start at eighth-level Demon. Their duty is to roam in the Abyss, upholding the Demon Lord's authority!"

Fred explained in detail, then took malicious pleasure in looking at Grace, saying, "Grace, as a seventh-level Demon, striking against us sixth-level Demons has already violated the order set by the Demon Lord and will definitely face the Guardians' punishment!"

As the five Fallen Knight Guardians approached, the pressure also became stronger!

When the Guardians arrived in front of everyone, the terrifying pressure had forced all Demons, including Grace, to prostrate on the ground!

"Great Demon Lord, kneel down quickly!"

Fred, seeing that Bai Yan was still daring to stand, hurriedly tugged at his clothes and urged.

Not to mention sixth-level Big Winged Demons, even some ninth-level Demons wouldn't dare to provoke these Guardians!

The Guardians represent the will of this planar layer's Demon Lord, and provoking the Guardians is akin to challenging the Demon Lord!

However, Bai Yan did not heed Fred's advice; in this myriad of worlds, except for his parents, Bai Yan didn't think anyone else was worthy to make him kneel, and that holds true even in the Abyss!

Bai Yan, who even dares to defy the Father God, would not fear these eighth-level Demons.

"You! State your name!"

To everyone's surprise, the Guardians didn't accuse Bai Yan but instead raised the black Knight's Spear in their hands, pointing the spearhead directly at the seventh-level Enchanting Demon, Grace.

"Replying to the Guardians Lord, I am Grace, a subordinate of the eighth-level Demon Tyrant Lord Andrew."

Grace replied respectfully, as humble as a Small Inferior Demon.

"Grace, you dare defy the Lord's will; I sentence you to death by my hand as a Guardian!"

The leading Fallen Knight's icy words had just fallen when he suddenly spurred his warhorse into charge at Grace!

"Guardian Lord, please..."

Grace's complexion turned pale; she wanted to explain further, but she didn't get to finish her words.

"Pfft!" A sound.

She was pierced through by the Knight Spear, dead beyond any doubt.

Seeing this, the rest of the demons trembled all over, their legs went weak, and they knelt on the ground, wishing they could bury their heads into the red earth.

The strength of the Guardians was simply too formidable; even a Level 7 Demon had no power to retaliate against them!

After killing Grace, the five Guardians then turned their gaze to Bai Yan, who was the only one standing nearby within a hundred meters.

"My Lord, you must kneel quickly! If you anger the Guardians, we will all be put to death!"

Fred was originally kneeling towards the Guardians, but now he turned around and pleaded with Bai Yan.

Once Bai Yan was punished, as his accomplice, Fred's fate wouldn't be much better...

"I dare to kneel, but they wouldn't accept it!"

Bai Yan sneered, a glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at the Guardians.

If these Guardians dared to trouble him, Bai Yan wouldn't mind spending some time turning them into demon energy!

"Clank clank clank clank..."

The Fallen Knight slowly walked towards Bai Yan, the iron hooves of the Nightmare Horse felt like they were stepping on the hearts of the demons, causing them all to shiver with fear!

"It's all over now, even Lord Jill coming in person couldn't save me."

Fred's face turned ashen; a demon targeted by the Guardians never met a good end!

"Guest from afar, the Lord has sent us to welcome you."

The five Guardians approached Bai Yan and simultaneously performed a Knightly salute.

"What the heck?"

Fred was instantly stunned.

Was he not just a Level 6 Great Demon?

How had he become a guest of the Demon Lord?

As Fred recalled his earlier intentions to deal with Bai Yan, the flames on his body began to flicker uncertainly.

"Your Lord is looking for me?"

Bai Yan was also full of doubt.

He really couldn't think of anything about himself that would catch the Demon Lord's attention.

However, from the attitudes of these Guardians, it seemed the Lord of the Second Layer of the Abyss bore him no hostility.

"Yes, the Lord is already waiting for you."

The leading Fallen Knight spoke respectfully.

Ignoring the shocked demons, Bai Yan flapped his wings and followed the Guardians to a gloomy castle on the second layer, surrounded by many Guardians wandering about.

Compared to the barren Abyss, this rather crude construction on the second layer could be considered quite luxurious!

Led by the Guardians, Bai Yan entered the castle and came before a Level 9 Dark Blood Knight.

...

"Firstly, let me introduce myself, I am Soron, the Demon Lord of the Second Layer of the Abyss, cheers for our first meeting."

The Dark Blood Knight introduced himself with a pale face that wore an elegant smile, then handed Bai Yan a cup filled with dark red liquid.

"What is this?"

Bai Yan looked curiously at the red liquid in the cup, very puzzled, not believing there was wine in the Abyss.

"This is the fresh blood of a Hell Devil, it tastes very delicious!"

Soron sniffed the devil's fresh blood, answering very entranced.

Hearing that it was blood, Bai Yan put the cup back on the table, explaining rather awkwardly:

"Perhaps, there's a bit of a gap in the food culture between the first and second layers of the Abyss..."
