Chapter 863: Chapter 409: Gazing into the Abyss, Star Destruction Magic Array

[You have possessed the Shell of the ’Son of the Initial Fire of Desire’!]

[You carry the ’Sword of the Bloody King’ on your shoulder and control the disc beneath your feet as it slowly approaches the prison.]

[The ’Abyss Hell Demon’ continues to roar loudly, launching furious attacks against the inner walls of the cage, yet it can never break through the ’Starlight Prison’.]

[Finally, you actively enter the cage, causing it to let out a roar and charge straight toward you, its mountainous bulk utterly terrifying compared to your diminutive size.]

Given the quality and level of the ’Star Favored’ shell, it drains your mana completely to inflict ’minor damage’ on the monster.

This is proof enough that the demon before you is a BOSS-level monster.

Lin Xun decides to go all out, aiming for a quick battle.

[You raise the ’Sword of the Bloody King’ with your hand, and its blade points at the ’Abyss Hell Demon’ charging at you, casting a vast shadow that covers your entire body...]

[Weapon Special Effect—’Abyssal Shackles’ activated!]

[Your majestic voice echoes throughout the Starlight Prison...]

[Judgment is upon you!]

[The ’Abyss Destroyer Demon’ is a heretic to the True God for its betrayal of evil!]

[The massive form lunging at you suddenly feels weighed down, its previously ferocious and swift movements now incredibly ponderous, as if burdened by invisible shackles, considerably weakening its assault.]

[You have successfully inflicted the negative status of ’Intense Weakness’ on your enemy!]

[The ’Abyss Destroyer Demon’ feels as if mountains press down upon its back and limbs, this strange power it had never encountered before causes it to halt its attack, and its dark red giant pupils gaze at its own fierce claws, feeling the heaviness upon them...]

"Well, well, still have the nerve to space out?"

Lin Xun decisively unleashes his strongest skill to date.

[Weapon Special Skill—’Bloody Judgment’ activated!]

[You hold the great sword by its hilt in front of your chest, eyes fixated on the blade...]

[An endless current of blood surges from the sword, boiling and spreading through your entire body.]

[At this moment, boundless thoughts of slaughter occupy your mind, filling your consciousness, as a rich-blood red light illuminates the entire prison...]

[The ’Abyss Destroyer Demon’ suddenly speaks in human tongue, its voice deafeningly loud...]

[Human, your power does not come from the ’Stars’ or ’Omniscience’; you are not its enemy!]

[Stop what you’re doing! Halt your hand!]

[Cease! It can lead you to gaze upon the greatness of the ’Abyss’!]

[You transform into a blood-red comet, piercing through the enemy’s body with unstoppable force in an instant!]

[Blood sprays and spurts, and the cage echoes with sounds loud enough to shatter eardrums, while a gaping, bloody hole appears in the chest of the ’Abyss Destroyer Demon’.]

[Its massive body crashes to the ground, the dark red giant pupils still filled with intense indignation, now silent forever...]

[You have defeated the ’Abyss Destroyer Demon’, and your experience has significantly increased!]

[You have obtained ’Unfathomable Shard of Spirituality’*1]

[You have obtained ’Destruction Claws’ (Material)]

[You have obtained the ’Abyssal Horn’ (Special Item)]

[You gaze at the mountain-like massive and ferocious corpse...]

[Shell of the ’Abyss Destroyer Demon’: An upper-class demon from the Abyss Underground, possessing immense strength and the terror of controlling destructive flames. When the Abyss Destroyer Demon grows into its final form, it can even attain a power level that rivals the Gods. Compatibility: 76% (+65%)]

The current compatibility with the shell is insufficient for possession.

However, Lin Xun’s attention wasn’t on the shell but rather on recalling the words the destroyer demon had spoken before.

[Human, your power does not come from the ’Stars’ or ’Omniscience’; you are not its enemy!]

[...It can lead you to gaze upon the greatness of the ’Abyss’!]

"The Abyss?"

Lin Xun frowns involuntarily.

He had been using Star Magic Skills to bombard the BOSS from afar to avoid injury.

But when he switched to the ’Son of Evil’, utilizing the power of the Blood Sun with the great sword, the destroyer demon sensed that this power didn’t originate from the ’Bright Stars’ or ’Almighty True Knowledge’, prompting it to speak those words to him.

"The Abyss, from its tone, doesn’t sound like just a place... it seems to be an entity on par with the Stars and Omniscience?"

"Could the Abyss be a hidden Main God, part of a concealed covenant?"

Lin Xun cannot possess the shell to read its memories directly, but there’s another way to uncover memories.

Lin Xun immediately attempts to use the extra skill ’Ghost Domination’.

[Your skill ’Ghost Domination’ is of too low a tier to dominate the residual Soul of the target!]

"Damn it!"

Lin Xun ponders the situation; if there’s indeed a hidden Main God, the names of its follower monsters will most likely begin with prefixes such as ’Adoration’, ’Quest for Knowledge,’ and the like.

But he has encountered many abyssal monsters, and not one carried such a prefix.

"If this ’Abyss’ really isn’t just a place name but refers to some sort of entity... there must be some hidden narrative here!"

He opens his inventory to examine the items dropped by the BOSS just now.

The Abyss Destroyer Demon was quite stingy, only dropping three rewards.

The first two weren’t noteworthy, being Spirituality and Material, but it was the last dropped item that caught his attention.

[’Abyssal Horn’ (Special Item): A robust horn made from a huge horn, bearing a strong sense of primitive style. It seems not to have been made by humans.]

[Blow this horn at a specific location, and something beyond your expectations will occur.]

"Tsk, what kind of riddle item is this?"

The item’s description is full of riddles, and had the ’Abyss Destroyer Demon’ not perished, it might have offered some clue.
