Wizard Immortal

Chapter 753 The Soft Persimmon (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Zang Xinyu)

"It's not just a simple matter of higher-ranking demons suppressing lower-ranking demons; there's also the suppression of the abyss's will..."

Adir looked up at the demon lord slowly descending before him, and this thought flashed through his mind.

When facing this demon lord, in addition to the suppression of his own bloodline, Adir also felt the suppression originating from the true spirit.

The source of this suppression is none other than the abyssal will within this world.

As the demon lord of this vast region, the other party unified this area and merged with the will of the abyss, thus naturally receiving the favor and blessing of the will of the abyss.

This is power in a certain sense.

Demons with authority have a natural advantage when facing ordinary demons, and can exert extremely strong suppression on other demons.

To some extent, this is also the basis for the other side's ability to unify this region.

Only when someone truly possesses the authority to rule can they be recognized as a demon lord; otherwise, they are at most just a demon with slightly greater strength.

To become a demon lord of a region, one must align oneself with the will of the abyss in that region and gain its recognition and favor in order to truly gain control over that region.

This knowledge was etched into his mind, acquired from the will of the abyss the moment Adir was born.

However, despite knowing of the existence of the Abyss Authority, this was the first time he had actually seen a demon lord.

He sensed the immense power of that power emanating from the other party.

Both being demons, if Adir were to advance to level five and reach the same level as his opponent, he would likely be inherently suppressed by the opponent's authority, and his strength would be reduced by at least several levels.

However, the opponent, empowered by authority, can become even stronger than before.

In the back and forth, they formed an extremely powerful advantage, leaving the other demons with no choice but to rely on them.

"To advance further and become a demon lord, one must either find a desolate territory and gain the recognition of the abyss's will, or defeat a demon lord with authority, plunder the power of that authority from him and transfer it to oneself..."

As Adir gazed at the descending demon lord, he pondered deeply.

Both of these methods of gaining authority are generally very difficult.

The former method is basically impossible to achieve.

The abyss is indeed vast, and there are many unclaimed areas within it. If you search carefully, you can find quite a few.

However, finding an uninhabited area does not mean you can inherit the authority and power of that area.

Inheriting power over a region is far from a simple matter.

First, there needs to be a sufficient number of demons in this area.

Only in areas with a sufficient number of demons can the will of the abyss gradually become active, thus laying the foundation for gaining authority.

Otherwise, how can you gain authority in a place where there isn't even a single demon?

On the other hand, places with a sufficient number of demons are often occupied by others, and other demon lords will often be eyeing them before they even take shape, so there is no way you can wait slowly.

In the abyss, the second method is truly feasible.

Go directly to find a ready-made demon lord, defeat him, and plunder his power of control to empower yourself.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is horrific.

For Adir, both methods are options, but the second method is the most effective.

He thought the demon lord in front of him was quite impressive.

The demon lord in front of him was unaware that he had been targeted. He had just arrived and his powerful aura suppressed the surrounding demons, making them tremble and dare not move.

Seeing the great demons around him trembling under his majesty, he nodded with great satisfaction and then waved his hand.

Several priests dressed in black robes and wearing masks stepped forward, emanating divine power.

A picture appeared on the spot.

Adir looked up and found the faces somewhat familiar.

A map of the material world?

He became somewhat interested.

Over the past few decades, Adir's other avatar, Yaso, has been active in the material world. In addition to building his own empire, he has also sent people to explore the surrounding areas and draw up maps of the entire material world.

That map is very similar to the one in front of us.

However, compared to the map drawn by Adir, the map in front of us is much more detailed. Some areas that Adir could not detect at all are marked on it, which shows that the data collection in all aspects is very detailed.

Adir gave the priests a deep look.

Demons dwell in the abyss, spending their days crawling and rolling in it. Naturally, they could not possibly know about the material world, let alone draw such a detailed map.

Such a detailed map was most likely the work of those gods and priests.

As a ritual left behind by the gods, they possessed profound knowledge, so it's not surprising that they had such a map.

I just don't know what they're trying to do.

"This is the map of the material world..."

Ahead, Ankla descended upon the mountain peak, standing at the center of the many great demons, his aura emanating from him without concealment. In a hoarse, icy voice, he spoke: "Now tell me, where should we go?"

Is this a way of soliciting opinions?

Below, the many great demons looked at each other, somewhat confused.

"Since we're participating in a remote event, we should naturally go to places with lots of people..." a great demon said.

The other great demons nodded as well.

A large number of people means a large number of other living beings, which means there are many souls that can be harvested.

For demons, this is the most important point. At that time, it will be relatively easier to collect souls or obtain feedback from the will of the abyss.

Ankla turned around and looked at the other priests beside her.

The priests, dressed in black robes and wearing masks, nodded and then stepped forward.

They stepped forward and fiddled with it for a bit, and then the content displayed on the map changed significantly.

Several dots lit up instantly.

Adir looked up.

Those highlights included several places he knew.

There is a legendary city of mages, as well as various countries in the Central Plains, and the region where the Kingdom of Tamru is located.

Even the location of the Adir Empire was marked with a dot at this moment.

"Each person goes to a different place..."

Looking at the dots in front of him, Anker spoke calmly.

As a lord, his goal is to maximize his profits.

While all the demons gathered together would be incredibly powerful, the total number of deaths they could cause might not be that high.

After all, the time they can enter the material world is limited. Once a certain period of time has passed, the will of the material world will detect it and immediately reject them back.

In such a short period of time, in order to maximize profits, it is natural to spread things out as much as possible.

As for the risks caused by the dispersion of resources.

That's none of his business.

As a demon lord, as long as he himself doesn't get into trouble, he doesn't care about the lives or deaths of the other demons.

"This is the city of mages, a gathering place for mages, where many mages reside..."

The priests stepped forward and began to explain to the many great demons present.

On the map, dots of light rotated in turn. Each time a dot landed, the priests would explain its components to the many great demons present.

Upon hearing the name "City of Mages," none of the great demons present uttered a word.

As great demons, they all have incredibly long lifespans. Apart from Adir, a freak who became a great demon in just a few months, the other great demons all fought their way out of mountains and seas of blood, and each of them has gone through a long period of time to reach this point.

Over such a long period of time, they had naturally heard of the reputation of the Mage Capital and knew what kind of place it was.

At this moment, listening to the words of the priest in front, no one moved at all.

"What kind of place is that?"

Suddenly, Adir spoke up, pointing to a point on the corner of the map.

He looked very interested.

"This is the Adir Empire, the capital founded by a legendary knight, whose strongest ruler was none other than that legendary knight who established the nation..."

Ahead, the priest glanced at Adir, somewhat surprised that he had spoken, but still explained very seriously and responsibly.

"Only one legendary knight?"

At that moment, Adir seemed to see that the eyes of many demons around him lit up.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is one of the inherent traits etched into the nature of demons.

With Adir's guidance, they immediately realized what was happening.

"Your Excellency, please allow me to go to this place!"

A massive, bloated demon with several pairs of wings spoke, its voice echoing eerily: "I will surely wipe out this place for you."

"No, let me go there..."

"You scum, how dare you try to steal from me!"

Chaos immediately erupted on the spot.

These great demons immediately started arguing, clearly not taking the legendary knight of the Adir Empire seriously at all.

To some extent, that's understandable.

Human legends are inherently weaker than legends of other races, let alone compared to the great demons before them.

Legendary knights are generally not as strong as legendary mages.

For the many demons present, this was a perfect easy target; they wouldn't get another chance like this.

The territory occupied by the Adir Empire is not small, and its population is not small after the development of Adir over the years, making it quite special among those points of light.

Moreover, it is located right next to the Kingdom of Tamru and other northern kingdoms.

These conditions were quite attractive to the many demons present.
