Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon - Chapter 335: The Abyss

“Teacher, I have failed,” Dolores reported upon returning to the Holy City.

Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Darkness City doesn’t have just one top-tier Demon King. If I’m not mistaken, the one you fought is also a supreme Demon King ranked in the top ten!”

“Why do you say that, teacher?” Dolores asked.

Lucas explained, “A being with strength comparable to yours, perhaps even greater, couldn’t have appeared out of nowhere. Their growth must have a traceable trajectory. I am aware of the most powerful entities on the continent, in the oceans, within the underworld, and even in outer realms. I’ve never heard of a succubus becoming such a strong entity, and the fact that she left no trace throughout her growth suggests she emerged suddenly in an extraordinarily short period.”

“There’s only one explanation for this scenario,” Lucas continued, “She’s a Demon King!”

Now it made sense to Dolores. She immediately asked, “What should we do next?”

Lucas replied, “This Demon King may be strong, but she is likely just a subordinate of the No. 1 Demon King, Zhang Nu. She doesn’t pose a significant threat to us. The real concern is Zhang Nu himself.”

After a brief pause, he continued, “But I have already contacted two allies. Their strength is on par with mine. With their assistance and the power of the Heart of Holy Light, eliminating this troublesome Demon King will be a simple task.”

Dolores was extremely surprised. She had never heard of anyone in this world comparable to the legendary pope in front of her, let alone two such individuals appearing at once. Lucas’s strength was already immense. If he could summon two allies of the same caliber, the three of them, combined with the power of the Radiant Church, would be unstoppable by any force in this world.

Lucas continued, “The Demon King Zhang Nu is currently not in Darkness City, otherwise, you wouldn’t have retreated so easily. Given this, we must seize the opportunity…”

Lucas was indeed very cautious because the opponent’s strength was evident. No matter how arrogant one might be, facing a contender capable of holding the top spot among the Demon Kings warranted utmost caution. The church quickly mobilized. A grand and far-reaching war to eradicate the Great Demon King was swiftly brewing.

…… Meanwhile, Zhang Nu also began to take action. Before leaving Darkness City, Zhang Nu had already glimpsed the future through the power of time. Although he could only see the future of this region, Zhang Nu knew that within a few days, Darkness City and even the Chaos Federation would face invasion from external enemies.

The invaders were none other than forces led by the Radiant Church. Zhang Nu was acutely aware of the gravity of this situation. The number of powerhouses and prodigies within the Radiant Church surpassed that of an empire-level force. According to the Hero leaderboard, one of the top ten heroes, the former Pope of the Radiant Church, was a Level 7 legendary being.

Although Zhang Nu’s current strength and the power of the Evil God made it not too difficult for him to contend with a Level 7 legendary demigod, he couldn’t afford to be complacent. Zhang Nu believed that the news of him killing the Primeval Behemoth Amit could not be kept hidden. Hero Lucas, targeting him, would undoubtedly make thorough preparations.

This battle was extremely important, crucial to whether the Chaos Federation could firmly establish its position within the continent. Therefore, Zhang Nu decided to hasten his search for the last Evil God fragment. Only by activating the Chaos Dragon God talent and successfully breaking through to Level 7’s strength could he confidently face all challenges. If his guess was correct, the last Evil God Eye was the “Eye of Space.” This Evil God Eye had already escaped its seal and had been wandering in the outside world for a long time. Due to its unique attributes, it was difficult for ordinary people to capture it. But at this moment, based on Zhang Nu’s senses, the Eye of Space was located in the Abyssal Space. This world was composed of four parts: the surface, the underworld, the ocean, and the outer world.

The so-called Abyss was actually the deepest part of the outer world, a special region filled with evil aura, dark creatures, and various dangerous entities. For others, this place was extremely dangerous. However, as an Abyssal Dragon, Zhang Nu’s return to the Abyss was like a king returning to his own land.

The journey from Darkness City to the Abyssal Space was extremely far, so Zhang Nu needed to use a Demon King’s territory as a transit checkpoint. Fortunately, he knew someone in the outer world. Zhang Nu used a teleportation stone to arrive at the territory of Blood Giant King Wang Shi. Naturally, Wang Shi personally came to greet him.

“Brother! It’s been a while! You’ve been making quite a stir lately! Just recently at Behemoth Highlands… you actually went to the home base of a top-ranked supreme Hero and killed him. That event was earth-shattering news!”

Wang Shi was quite the chatterbox, but Zhang Nu wasn’t interested in small talk.

“Let’s move on from that. I need a favor. I want to enter the Abyss to take care of some business. Can you make it easier for me?”

Wang Shi laughed heartily, “No problem at all! Leave it to me!”

……

Half a day later, Wang Shi led Zhang Nu to a teleportation array.

“The outer space is much larger than the surface world, the underworld, and the ocean combined. Relying solely on physical movement would be exhausting, so the best way to enter the Abyss is through an Abyssal Teleportation Array,” Wang Shi explained. “This Abyssal Teleportation Array has been passed down through the ages, likely crafted by ancient outer world inhabitants millions of years ago. As long as you can afford the price, you can use it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nu was quite satisfied. This made things much easier. Although Wang Shi was a Demon King, he seemed to get along well with the local powers. Through his mediation, they quickly secured permission to use the teleportation array.

After paying the necessary fees, the teleportation array activated. Zhang Nu was transported to a place that resembled the depths of the cosmos. This place was almost devoid of light, with extremely thin air, and was filled with a vast amount of chaotic matter.

[……]

It seemed to be the correct destination. Zhang Nu nodded in satisfaction. This was indeed the Abyssal Space. Now, he just needed to find the Eye of Space.
