Chapter 870 859: Advancing into the Abyss
The flow of time is different between the Abyss and the real world, which means Bai Yan can spare some time to deal with situations arising in the Abyss while Fu Chao and others study the power and influence of the Snow Wolf Clan.
Bai Yan's strength was recognized by all the Demon Lords who were imprisoned. When such a powerful figure appeared before them, they chose to surrender without hesitation.
In the Abyss, a world where the strong are revered, choosing to surrender when you cannot defeat an enemy is not a shameful act.
Betrayal, deceit... behaviors like these are what most demons despise.
However, Soron managed to deceive other Demon Lords through trickery and outnumbering them, which caused these Demon Lords to hate Soron intensely.
Bai Yan's appearance made these Demon Lords instantly realize that Bai Yan's power was something they could not resist.
Facing such a powerful individual, the only thing they could do was pray for his forgiveness and wait for his offer of surrender.
They could do nothing else.
Bai Yan did not reject the surrender of these Demon Lords and granted each of them a demon contract, transforming them into his own.
Meanwhile, the Demon Lords of the tenth and fifteenth layers, a Demon Spirit Knight and an Abyss Giant Snake Spirit, were sent back to their territories by Bai Yan to rally those demon subordinates who were still skirmishing with his forces.
As for the remaining Demon Lords, they, under Bai Yan's leadership, advanced to a deeper layer of the Abyss.
The sixteenth layer of the Abyss had a total of three Demon Lords, each governing a part of the entire sixteenth layer.
The Enchanting Demon Lord controlled the northeast, the Flame Demon Lord controlled the northwest, and the Void Demon Spirit controlled the entire southern region, being the strongest of the three.
However, when Bai Yan arrived here, even before the Demon Warriors could emerge from the Transmission Array, Bai Yan had already incorporated the Enchanting Demon and the Flame Demon into his ranks.
"Master, this Void Demon Spirit is powerful and possesses special Corrosive Magic."
"This Corrosive Magic can corrode not only our equipment but even our power."
"That's why, for millennia, we could only maintain a two-against-one stance, barely avoiding elimination."
The Enchanting Demon swayed her seductive tail, acting pitifully in front of Bai Yan.
For her, Bai Yan was a powerful being. If she could rely on this strong figure, she could soar and become a true golden Phoenix.
However, no matter how much effort she put in, she could not conquer Bai Yan.
In fact, Bai Yan was not interested in her physical allure at all, focused only on conquering the territory of the Void Demon Spirit and capturing him.
"Is there anything else about this Void Demon Spirit that needs attention?"
Bai Yan's question made the Enchanting Demon Lord angry. It was the first time she had failed to seduce someone.
Even the Void Demon Spirit once submitted to her charm, almost becoming her admirer.
Even now, the slogan of the Void Demon Spirit was to win back the Enchanting Demon, allowing every demon brother to enjoy.
"Nothing else!"
The Enchanting Demon responded to Bai Yan in a huff, noticing his lack of strictness in her demeanor, thus becoming more bold and provocative.
However, such actions directly angered Bai Yan.
"Enough, I need warriors, not tools for pleasure! Take your people to the front line, or I have no use for you!"
The anger laced in Bai Yan's words scared the Enchanting Demon so much she almost didn't dare to move, quickly kneeling and tearfully begging Bai Yan to give her another chance to redeem herself.
Though Bai Yan felt a little reluctant, since the Enchanting Demon Lord had asked for mercy, he did not overly criticize her and just had her lead troops to the front line.
Countless demons clashed here, with demon corpses and remains everywhere, the Abyss' sun gradually setting, casting a hazy golden hue over such a brutal battlefield.
"Kill! The master orders: Those who kill the Demon Lord shall be richly rewarded!"
Bai Yan could eliminate that Demon Lord himself but after searching the sixteenth layer, he could not find the Void Demon Spirit, so he resorted to this strategy.
Furthermore, his Divine Thought continuously enveloped the Abyss.
The size of the sixteenth layer of the Abyss was no longer enough to occupy all of his Divine Thought; he covered the entire sixteenth layer with just over half of his Divine Thought.
Under Bai Yan's command, the war gradually reached an intense phase, demon corpses covered the central part of the sixteenth layer of the Abyss.
Luckily, the demons under Bai Yan's command, with a sheer overwhelming offensive, crushed the Void Demon Spirit's demons, causing heavy losses.
After sustaining over thirty percent casualties, the Void Demon Spirit could no longer endure.
It turned out he had been hiding within the sixteenth layer of the Abyss all along, using his Talent to remain concealed in the Void, which is why Bai Yan had not detected him.
"Honored one! Please stop! I am willing to surrender, please cease your attacks!"
The Void Demon Spirit knew he could not defeat Bai Yan, or he would not have hidden in the Void.
Furthermore, he was not so heartbroken over the losses of his subordinates, but the fear of Bai Yan, and apprehension of Bai Yan's expanding Divine Thought, finally led him to decide to surrender after much deliberation.
Running away was impossible, not in this lifetime.
After weighing the pros and cons, surrender was the only choice.
The Void Demon Spirit was also observing the battlefield from within the Void, watching Bai Yan.
In his mental calculations, if Bai Yan's demon soldiers did not cease the slaughter, his subordinates would be wiped out within a day, and he would ultimately have to emerge from the Void, becoming Bai Yan's prisoner.
Rather than letting it happen, it was better to surrender early. After witnessing Bai Yan's strength, he understood very clearly.
"Void Demon Spirit, do you recognize your crimes!?" Sol snarled with a fierce expression.
Bai Yan didn't speak, but Soron beside him immediately pointed at the Void Demon Spirit's nose and cursed, using his exquisite technique to verbally abuse the Void Demon Spirit until he was in agony.
"I recognize, I recognize, Taklar admits his crimes!"
The Void Lord was so frightened by the killing intent emanating from Bai Yan that he knelt down, crawling towards Bai Yan, trembling, hoping for Bai Yan's mercy.
"Submit to me, and I will grant you a future you have never seen!"
Bai Yan looked at the Void Demon Spirit, his gaze becoming sharper as if he would slice the Void Demon Spirit into pieces with just his eyes.
A demon contract drifted down in front of the Void Demon Spirit, who instantly signed his True Name, becoming Bai Yan's subordinate.
Upon seeing the Starlight on Bai Yan, he instantly felt that he had not chosen wrongly.
"Void Demon Spirit Taklar, at your service, Master!"
Sixteenth layer of the Abyss, conquered!
