Chapter 2589: Chapter 537: Sword Slays the Demigod, Sauron Easter Egg!
A moment later.
Levi quietly left the Abyss Well.
The situation in Hell is unclear; he dared not act recklessly.
Moreover, hunting demons here yields no war merit.
Currently, the Abyss is at war across all fronts, and Hell is in chaos.
The war storm sweeping across the Multidimensional Plane is still brewing and intensifying.
...
Black King City.
A tense atmosphere lingered in the city.
Troops from the Demon Fox Clan patrolled outside.
Levi quietly arrived within the city.
Council Chamber.
The Demon Fox Mistress, the three sisters, the Ghost Elephant Master, and the second brother were all present.
They wore solemn expressions, clearly discussing important matters.
Seeing Levi arrive, everyone looked relieved.
"Big brother, you’re here; I’ve already heard about your deeds in the Wizard World."
The Purgatory Demon Sword seemed more excited than Levi.
"Our leader, with his level 8 prowess, has slain a level 9 demon; it’s already become a legend." The Demon Fox Mistress smiled.
The Ghost Elephant Master nodded: "Recently, when attending a meeting on the Ninth Layer, the Hell high-ups were also talking about it."
Levi hadn’t expected that slaying a level 9 could cause such a significant ripple effect.
If in the future he were to slay a level 10, wouldn’t the entire Pan-Plane come to know?
He somewhat understood why heroic epics can endure for ages and continue to be passed down.
People always spread the word.
The Purgatory Demon Sword was genuinely delighted.
Who would’ve thought?
The elder brother he met by chance in Hell back then.
Would turn out to be such a legendary figure that shines through the ages.
He suspected he’d used up a lifetime’s worth of luck just meeting this brother.
Levi sat at the round table and asked:
"How is the battle on the eighth level? When I just arrived, I saw an Abyss Well."
"Not too well. Since the full-scale war began, demons have launched over a dozen invasions into Hell. The devils on the first six layers have suffered heavy casualties. Currently, Hell intends to retract its lines and focus on protecting the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers. With a large number of undead as cannon fodder, the Abyss can’t take Hell in a short time," the Purgatory Demon Sword sighed.
"Not long ago, the Bright Prison Dragon King Bah of the second pillar, while dispatching demons on an expedition from the Underworld, led the Emperor of Torture and other confidants to renounce their pillar status and abandon Hell, fleeing beyond the Pan-Plane, whereabouts unknown," the Demon Fox Mistress said.
Levi pondered: "To abandon Hell is tantamount to betraying the Underworld. What is the Bright Prison Dragon King up to?"
The Purgatory Demon Sword said: "I don’t know ... I just fear that after I ascend to the ninth circle, I still won’t be able to find the Emperor of Torture, making it impossible to personally avenge my mother."
This reminded Levi of the Wild Boar Knight.
He consoled: "They will surely return, unless they’ve joined the astral world, Abyss, or Nightmare—those top-level worlds. Otherwise, they’ll be accounted for by the Underworld sooner or later."
Levi estimated that these folks might be opportunists.
They probably believed that under the Abyss’s assault, Hell wouldn’t last long.
Or perhaps they didn’t want to be cannon fodder for the Underworld, so they chose to escape the war.
As the epoch of full-scale warfare begins, more and more monsters and devils emerge.
Even a behemoth world like the Underworld, which has existed since ancient times, is experiencing turmoil.
This millennium is bound to be an era of great reshuffling.
"Second brother, are those body tempering techniques useful to you?" Levi asked.
The Purgatory Demon Sword responded: "Very useful. I didn’t expect the Body Refining Academy in the Wizard World to have developed to such an extent; Gandaph is truly a model for us body-refining wizards!"
He himself practiced the "Ten-Winged Heavenly Dragon Body Tempering Technique."
But the other three major body tempering techniques can also serve as references.
Moreover, his fire element affinity talent is quite good.
So the "Nine-Headed Hell Snake Body Tempering Technique" can also be practiced.
Levi said: "There’s one more thing. I’ve arranged a Demon Slaying Bracelet for you and have registered it with the official congress. If you have time, there’s no need to stay in Hell all the time. You can return to the Wizard World to hunt demons and earn war merit. The Mistress and the others are sufficient for Hell."
Now that the council treasury has so many good things, second brother must also get involved and accelerate his cultivation.
"Thank you, big brother. I’ve been away from the Wizard World for too long. I indeed want to take this opportunity to go back and take a look. Not being able to personally participate in such an exciting war will be something to regret later," the Purgatory Demon Sword said.
His path also primarily involves slaughter and combat.
Staying within the city walls daily accompanied only by women has almost left his limbs degenerating.
In fact, he came to Hell initially to avoid past enemies.
As time went on, those enemies have long turned to historical dust in the blood battle.
There are no longer any concerns about returning to the Wizard World now.
His cultivation is already at Seven Rings Perfection.
Being a mythical dragon descendant, he still has ample lifespan left.
And to date, he has only sporadically refined some low-level oddities provided by Levi.
He’s only refined two Bright Moon Artifacts and none of the Sun Refining Artifacts.
He has much more potential to tap into.
That’s why Levi wants him to hunt demons—to exchange for more oddities.
With second brother’s talent, he’s bound to shine brightly in Nora like a supernova.
Finally, carrying 2 billion Joss Paper and some materials, Levi left.
In times of war, the military expenses of the two major tribes are considerable.
In the short term, they need to tighten their belts to get by.
Of course, war also means opportunity.
The coming times are bound to see old forces being eliminated and divided.
If Black King City seizes the opportunity, there’s hope for it to become a top tribe in Hell.
...
A month later.
Seeing the Nether River and the mast-sail ship arrive as scheduled, Levi breathed a sigh of relief.
He had worried that due to the war, the Netherworld Market might not be held.
This would have caused him to lose a stable source of Rest Soil.
