Although Bai Yan is a Demon Lord, at heart he remains a member of the Human Race, and he finds the barbaric practices of hair-eating and blood-drinking extremely repugnant.

When not absolutely necessary, Bai Yan would not engage in distasteful acts such as "devouring living beings" or "being bloodthirsty towards everything."

However, his attention wasn't on the cup of fresh devil's blood; instead, he keenly caught onto a word!

Soron was talking about 'Hell devils'.

Bai Yan had originally thought the Abyss was Hell, but now it seems that they should be two separate planes.

"What is Hell? How is it different from the Abyss?"

Bai Yan asked two questions in a row, his face showing confusion.

Soron wasn't surprised, he knew Bai Yan was merely the Demon Lord of the first layer of the Trial Land and hadn't truly come into contact with the Abyss.

"Hell serves as the nexus between the Abyss and the Divine Kingdom. The Abyss is populated only by Demons and self-degraded gods, but Hell is teeming with species from the Ten Thousand Clans, with all nine layers of Hell controlled by exiled gods."

Soron paused for a moment, then continued, "If the Abyss is an ancient land of evil, then Hell is the land of sin created by the gods! Those exiled to Hell are without exception beings of atrocious and evil crimes!"

"Are the Abyss and Hell allies against the Divine Kingdom, then?"

Bai Yan quickly understood.

"No, no, no, the Abyss and Hell have been in conflict with each other for tens of thousands of years!"

Soron immediately waved his hands to explain.

"The Abyss and Hell both represent evil; how could they be adversaries? They should be joining forces against the Divine Kingdom."

Bai Yan frowned and asked.

"Those exiled gods of Hell have always been fighting the Abyss while under orders from the Supreme God in hopes of returning to the Divine Kingdom, claiming this to be their path to redemption!"

Soron spoke with disdain, his eyes full of scorn.

He had great contempt for the actions of these exiled gods.

Even if exiled to Hell, they still act as lapdogs for the father gods and the Supreme God, a true disgrace to the core!

"Does this mean that in addition to endless slaughter for evolution, the Abyss Demons also have to contend with devils from Hell?"

"Yes, the existence of Demon Lords is precisely to lead Demons in the struggle against the devils from Hell."

Soron was halfway through speaking when he suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Every fifth layer of the Abyss's Land of Blood Battle is the battleground against devils from Hell. Every Demon Lord can be transported by the Abyss Will to the fifth layer. The Abyss Will rewards Demon Lords based on the number of enemies they kill, and moreover, Demons who devour the Hell energy of devils evolve even faster!"

Bai Yan suddenly saw the light; it seems the intelligence he obtained about the Land of Blood Battle was accurate.

Within the Abyss plane, there are indeed designated Lands of Blood Battle, and there are special Abyss Layer and specific locations with entrances to the Land of Blood Battle.

The Land of Blood Battle Bai Yan initially visited, he speculated, must be located on the fifth layer.

...

Demons are greedy by nature, and without corresponding rewards, they would not willingly die for the Abyss.

A Demon is a straightforward creature; with substantial rewards, it would even use its own life as a bargaining chip!

As for something like racial honor or defending one's homeland, to a Demon, that concept is utterly non-existent...

"Why are you telling me all this?"

Bai Yan's natural cunning and wariness as a Demon made him guard against Soron; he didn't believe a Demon could be warm-hearted.

"I want to cooperate with you. In the Land of Blood Battle, Demon Lords are targeted by devils. Within a hundred years, the second layer's Abyss Lord has already changed three times, and each of the former Lords died from devils' assassinations!"

Soron pointed to his head, then continued, "This is what differentiates a Demon Lord from a Demon! Only through cooperation can one survive longer."

Bai Yan smiled noncommittally but ultimately did not agree to cooperate with Soron.

No matter how intelligent and orderly a Demon Lord may seem, at the end of the day, he is still a Demon.

Cooperating with a Demon, there's a good chance of being betrayed to the bones!

Since our paths are different, we do not plan together.

Bai Yan had no intention of becoming too involved with Soron, and after asking a few more questions, he returned to Demon Island through the dimensional portal.

Once back on Demon Island, Bai Yan immediately called for a meeting with all the high-ranking officials of Demon Island, including Fu Chao.

The fifth layer, the Land of Blood Battle, was a must-visit, being the ideal place for training warriors.

Bai Yan ordered the people of Demon Island to gather all resources and devote all efforts to crafting the Demon Armor!

It was not an overnight task for Abnormal individuals to boost their strength; Bai Yan could only temporarily amplify the fighting power of Demon Island with external aids.

In the midst of everyone's puzzled gazes, Bai Yan smiled and said, "A blood battle awaits you in the future, a battle unlike any other!"

Bai Yan could hardly wait to see the terrifying power that the Demon Island Warriors would possess after being tempered in the Land of Blood Battle!

Upon hearing about the upcoming battle, Fu Chao and others' eyes lit up with excitement, and they promptly went to prepare.

Bai Yan wasn't planning to idle around either; he passed through the dimensional portal to the Marvel World Plane.

Since Bai Yan had not yet subdued the will of the Marvel World Plane, the time flow rate between it and the Main Plane was still 720:1, making it the ideal place for cultivation.

Only through constant slaughter within the Abyss Layer could Demon Power advance further. As Bai Yan's own demon rank approached that of a higher Demon, his power hit a bottleneck, and thus he began to focus on the strength of his human self.

Even Demon Lords fall in the Land of Blood Battle, which speaks volumes about its terror. Each increment in strength was another safeguard to life!

...

Time flew by swiftly, and two years later in the Marvel World, a terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from Bai Yan's place of cultivation!

"Two years have passed, and I've finally broken through to the Shattered Soul Realm!"

Bai Yan suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through his profound pupils!

"Crackling..."

Bai Yan stood up, moving his body. With a casual grasp, he wielded tremendous power, as if he could encompass this part of the universe within his grip!

The Shattered Soul Realm was equivalent to the level of a Demigod Abnormal, possessing a preliminary grasp of the power of universal rules. Every movement and technique could change the heavens and the earth.

Bai Yan had no idea how strong he would become after integrating Dragon Vein Power with Demon Power.

However, one thing was certain: even without revealing all his trump cards, the gods with weak Divine Power were no match for Bai Yan. Unlike before, Bai Yan didn't have to play all his cards just to kill a god of minimal strength.

After breaking through to the Shattered Soul Realm, Bai Yan also automatically learned two Secret Techniques from the Martial Arts Nine Realms Secret Method. However, due to the lack of a suitable opponent to practice on, Bai Yan did not execute them.

Bai Yan freshened up and returned to Demon Island through the dimensional portal. Due to the difference in time flow rates, only two days had passed in the Main Plane.

"Brother Yan, your power..."

Detecting the change in Bai Yan, Fu Chao asked in shock.

The current Bai Yan had undergone tremendous changes, with an ethereal aura, and black hair draping over his shoulders. Though plainly standing there, he gave an unfathomable impression, as if he were about to ascend to immortality, adding an archaic charm of a cultivator.

"Yeah, I've made some progress. How has Demon Island developed recently?"

Bai Yan asked indifferently.

"The family planning project has been implemented in the Marvel World, but due to the vastness of its worlds and planets, we've only managed to launch less than thirty percent."

"However, the military factories we established in the Marvel World have already produced a hundred thousand sets of Demon Armor."

Fu Chao reported the recent developments of Demon Island succinctly.

"A hundred thousand sets of Demon Armor?"

Bai Yan was slightly surprised, feeling a pleasant shock in his heart.

A hundred thousand sets of Demon Armor meant a hundred thousand demigod-level warriors, tantamount to a hundred thousand level seven Demons!

"Good, now go and gather a hundred thousand of the strongest Demon Island Warriors for me; I'm going to take you to see some real action!"

Bai Yan laughed heartily.

The sight of a hundred thousand level seven Demons appearing on the Land of Blood Battle...

He was eagerly anticipating the impressive scene of a hundred thousand level seven Demons emerging on the Land of Blood Battle!
