Chapter 1 Jiang Xuan's Plan

In Blood Demon City, Jiang Xuan settled down temporarily. He had scoured his way from the first level, so he naturally had a lot of resources on him, especially the demon crystals, the hard currency in the abyss, which he had piled up like a mountain.

However, he spent more time inquiring about information. In the abyss, there were also many opportunities, some of which may have been left by the powerful experts of the ancient primordial races. However, most of these opportunities were occupied by the abyss demons.

In addition, Jiang Xuan was also studying the *Shenxiao Tiangong* (Divine Firmament Celestial Art). This was a cultivation art that pointed directly to the Great Dao of True God, and it happened to be a qi-gathering system, which was of great help to Jiang Xuan. However, he used it more for reference, so as to improve his own *Taixuan Jing* (Grand Profound Scripture).

"Demon crystals can be used for cultivation, and they can also make my own demon bloodline purer. I still have too few of them. I have to find a chance to wipe out a few Heavenly Venerate-level demon cities."

The Heavenly Venerate-level demon cities in the abyss were like the Heavenly Palaces of the Heavenly Venerates in the God Realm. They were incredibly ancient, but in the demon cities before the tenth level, the possibility of high-level Heavenly Venerates appearing was not high. For example, Xue Ying (Blood Shadow) and Xue Lu (Blood Slaughter) in Blood Demon City, one was a Lower Heavenly Venerate and the other was a Middle Heavenly Venerate, posed no threat to Jiang Xuan.

However, he did not act directly. He still wanted to use the power of Xue Ying and the others to learn more about the abyss. Anyway, their foundation was here, and they couldn't run away. It wouldn't hurt to act later.

A few days later, Jiang Xuan knew more about the abyss. At the same time, he also received some news, which was revealed to him by Xue Ying and Xue Lu.

The center of the ninth level, known as the Demon Realm, was said to be one of the ancient battlefields where the Thirty-Three Heavens fought hundreds of billions of years ago. There were many relics of powerful demons in it.

This was one of the greatest opportunities in the first nine levels, but it was shrouded in chaotic spacetime. There were only two ways to enter it: one was a stable passage that appeared only once every tens of millions of years, and the other was to use a True God-level treasure to break through the void.

Recently, a demon from the fourteenth level of the abyss was going to enter it. According to Xue Ying, the abyss demon was backed by the ruler of the fourteenth level of the abyss. This time, he was also holding a True God demonic weapon to come to the ninth level to enter the Demon Realm battlefield.

Now, that abyss demon was in another Heavenly Venerate-level demon city, which was a branch force of the Demon Lord of the fourteenth level. There were three Heavenly Venerate-level demons sitting there, which was also a top power in the ninth level of the abyss.

Of course, the abyss demon who came this time also released news that as long as one reached the Heavenly Venerate level, as long as one paid some price, one could enter it with him.

During this period, Xue Ying and Xue Lu were also making preparations. After all, there were countless opportunities in the Demon Realm, and the price to pay was not high, so they naturally wanted to go.

However, Blood Demon City was, after all, the foundation of both of them, so one of them had to stay behind to guard it. In the end, they decided that Xue Lu would go.

Xue Lu was a Middle Heavenly Venerate, and his strength was stronger. He had a greater possibility of obtaining opportunities in the Demon Realm. Moreover, if Xue Lu could break through to the top Heavenly Venerate, Blood Demon City would also become one of the overlord-level forces in the ninth level.

After they were fully prepared, Jiang Xuan also set off with him. He cared very much about the saying "ancient battlefield" of the Demon Realm. Since it was an ancient battlefield, there must be enemies.

The enemies of hundreds of billions of years ago, needless to say, were the ancient primordial races. It was a great opportunity for the demons, and it was the same for him.

"Lord Youxuan, the front is Demon Dragon City, which is also a branch force under the command of the 'Demon Dragon' ruler of the fourteenth level."

Xue Lu introduced Jiang Xuan. In front of them, there was an ancient city. The city wall was refined from black dragon scales, which were indestructible. Even after a long period of time, it still stood tall.

In Jiang Xuan's perception, there were more than twenty Heavenly Venerate-level auras in this city at this time!

"It's really a grand occasion!"

Xue Lu also said, they actually understood that the reason why the Demon Dragon Race's Heavenly Venerate was willing to help them enter the Demon Realm at a very low price this time was actually to win over the Heavenly Venerate-level demons of the ninth level. The purpose was also obvious: the Demon Dragon of the fourteenth level wanted to dominate the ninth level of the abyss!

They could all see this, but they couldn't resist. The Demon Dragon was a Middle True God. Even in the deeper abyss, he was a strong one. Even in the totem-level forces, he was an elder-level existence. If he wanted to plot against the ninth level, the consequences of disobeying him would be imaginable.

Therefore, the Heavenly Venerate-level demon forces of the ninth level would send people, which was considered a default. Anyway, the abyss was originally a place where the strong were respected. Whoever was stronger could dominate the abyss. This was not surprising at all.

Jiang Xuan and Xue Lu entered Demon Dragon City and received much attention. During this period, many Heavenly Venerate-level demons came to Demon Dragon City. Even those low-level demons knew that something big was about to happen.

They soon met the protagonist of this time, the Demon Dragon Race demon from the fourteenth level, Long Shi (Dragon Devourer), an Upper Heavenly Venerate-level demon!

"The one next to Xue Lu is a royal family Heavenly Venerate?"

"Indeed, it is a Heavenly Venerate from the 'You' lineage."

"Xue Lu's luck is really good. He was able to climb onto a royal family Heavenly Venerate."

When Jiang Xuan and Xue Lu arrived, they also attracted the attention of the gathered demon Heavenly Venerates, especially Jiang Xuan. The aura of the royal family bloodline was extremely pure, and he was definitely a strong one among the Heavenly Venerates.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect a strong one from the royal family to arrive. This demon feast of mine is really worth it!"

Walking towards them was a creature covered in black dragon scales, with a pair of curved horns on its head and a pair of demonic wings on its back.

This was Long Shi, a strong one from the Demon Dragon Race, who was holding a demon feast at this moment to entertain the demon Heavenly Venerates from all sides.

Jiang Xuan talked to him with a cold face, but the other party was not impatient at all. Although "You" had already died, it did not mean that this lineage was weak. In the Nine Nether Palace on the seventeenth level, there were nine True God-level elders, and the Great Elder was even an Upper True God. In the current world where totem-level demons basically did not appear, he was definitely the overlord of the entire abyss.

What's more, Jiang Xuan was still a royal family Heavenly Venerate in his eyes. The combat power of a royal family who could reach the Heavenly Venerate level was not comparable to that of demons of the same level. Naturally, he would not offend him.

"Since Your Excellency Youxuan also wants to enter the Demon Realm with us, I naturally welcome you, but the rules cannot be abandoned. I hope Your Excellency will forgive me." Long Shi was not surprised at all when he heard that Jiang Xuan wanted to enter the Demon Realm, but he was not willing to change the rules for Jiang Xuan alone.

"Naturally." Jiang Xuan nodded, and then took out a treasure of the Great World Realm King level. He had plundered a lot of treasures in the first eight levels of the abyss. Although there were no Heavenly Venerate-level demonic weapons, there were quite a few of the Great World Realm King level.

"Your Excellency Youxuan is straightforward. The number of people gathered here is almost the same. We will set off in a few days."

Long Shi accepted the treasure. They didn't care about a treasure of the Great World Realm King level. The reason why they were unwilling to change the rules was to convince other Heavenly Venerates and prepare for dominating the ninth level of the abyss in the future.

After all, it was impossible for the Demon Dragon to come to the ninth level of the abyss in person. In the future, the ninth level of the abyss would most likely be ruled by him. He naturally wanted to subdue these Heavenly Venerates and would not disrupt the plan because of Jiang Xuan.

A few days later, Jiang Xuan and the others finally set off and headed to the location of the Demon Realm. The spacetime there was chaotic, and Jiang Xuan's eyes flashed with a faint light, but it was still difficult to see through it and could not see the scene inside.

However, Long Shi took out a treasure, like a fortress, and let Jiang Xuan and the others enter it. Then, he directly broke through the void and broke into that chaotic spacetime.

When they came out of the fortress again, the scene in front of them had changed greatly. Irrepressible killing intent overflowed in the void, and streaks of blood-colored light划过the space. On the vast black earth, there were remnants of stars.

Standing here, even across a long period of time, one could still feel the cruelty of the great battle hundreds of billions of years ago. The slaughter swept across the endless void. Even the strong ones standing at the peak of the heavens and earth could only perish in the end under that battle.

Even the master of the Shura Road and the Immortal Monarch, such peerless figures, could only end up miserably.

The Thirty-Three Heavens won, but the price paid was also great. Too many strong ones died, and the martial arts inheritance of the ancient primordial races was almost cut off. After hundreds of billions of years, they had not yet recovered to their peak.

"Here are the relics of peerless Demon Kings, as well as the remains of the invincible God Kings of the Thirty-Three Heavens. There are many crises, but also countless creations. Everyone must act according to your abilities."

Long Shi said that the Demon Realm on the ninth level was only one of the battlefields of the past. In the deeper levels, there were similar ancient lands, and even more terrifying creatures were buried in them, which they could not touch.

Of course, the greatest opportunity under the abyss was always the Tomb of the Demon God, but unfortunately, only the demons of the six totem-level forces could enter it. They definitely had no chance to enter.

Thinking of this, he also glanced at Jiang Xuan. In his opinion, Jiang Xuan probably had no hope of entering the Tomb of the Demon God. The day when the Tomb of the Demon God would be opened next time was not far away, but the other party was only a Heavenly Venerate. It was impossible to enter it at all.

As for the next time, even if Jiang Xuan became a True God, it would definitely not be his turn. He would be too old by then, and his potential would not be as good as that of the younger True Gods. How could he give him a chance?

Of course, it was impossible for him to say these words clearly. He did not want to offend a royal family Heavenly Venerate for no reason.

There were more than twenty Heavenly Venerates in their group, but in this ancient battlefield, they still had to be careful. This was different from the Primordial World. The Primordial World was a place of creation and opportunity left by the strong ones of the past. Although there were dangers, most of them were mainly for training. At the level of Heavenly Venerates, the possibility of dying in it was not high.

But this Demon Realm battlefield was different. This was originally a place of war in the past. The killing was overflowing, and there were killing intents everywhere. The relics left by those strong ones were mostly evolved on their own after their deaths, with the killing intents and hatreds of their lives, and it was not surprising that they evolved into forbidden lands.

Therefore, they had to be careful, otherwise this place was likely to be their burial place.
