Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: The Primordial Demon

In Chu Hao's memory.

There were many kinds of creatures in the true abyss.

Among the stronger ones were the hundred-armed giants with brute strength, the eye demons naturally wielding magical energy.

There were even fallen demigods and primordial deities on the verge of collapse and corruption.

These creatures often possessed immense potential.

The strong ones could easily twist the land with their power, shatter mountains and rivers, or even evolve their own followers within the abyss, unifying a plane.

The weaker ones included demonic octopuses, spider demons, and so on.

There were even many beings from other worlds—humans, elves, orcs—brought into the abyss as slaves.

These species were not evenly distributed throughout the Endless Abyss.

But even with so many species, so many powerful and deadly creatures…

To outsiders, the most famous and strongest race in the Endless Abyss remained the demons of the abyss!

These terrifying monsters, breathing fire, shrouded in poisonous mist, and leading others to corruption in myths, were considered…

The true followers of the Endless Abyss by anyone who had come into contact with it.

"Finally appeared, the primordial demon species!"

Chu Hao looked excitedly toward a part of the Endless Abyss.

Even with accelerated time, Chu Hao felt the length of it, his mind growing numb.

But hard work pays off.

Amid this long stretch of time, one larva finally evolved under the extreme stimuli of the Endless Abyss into the oldest demonic form.

The Primordial Demon!

With a thought, Chu Hao disappeared from the bottom of the Endless Abyss.

In the next instant, he appeared beside the creature evolved from the larva, quietly observing it.

This was a newly evolved creature.

Unlike the traditional "demon" imagined by ordinary people, the so-called "primordial demon" was, in fact, a humanoid abyssal creature with black scales and red eyes!

Its current strength was not very high in the Endless Abyss.

Having just left its larval form, it could only be considered mid-tier in the abyss.

But Chu Hao didn't care.

Because beyond sensing the violent rage and bloodlust within the primordial demon, he also noticed a critical trait deep within its soul.

A two-way resonance with the will of the Endless Abyss!

Its soul could establish a faint connection with the will of the Endless Abyss!

No previous abyssal creature had ever had this.

Although all abyssal creatures could obey the will of the Endless Abyss—Chu Hao's command—they were essentially just "pets."

No matter their strength or experiences, their actions could not feedback into the Endless Abyss to improve it.

But demons were different. From birth, every demon existed for the abyss and would die for the abyss!

Their plundering of the outside world fed directly back into the Endless Abyss!

Ordinary abyssal creatures, if they left for other worlds, might remain there and never return.

Their descendants would no longer be creatures of the abyss.

Only the first generation of life originally in the Endless Abyss truly belonged to it.

The primordial demons were different!

Even if they thrived in other worlds, they would never fully detach from the Endless Abyss.

After invading other worlds, they always maintained a connection with the abyss.

This connection was rooted in their soul. Even if their body was destroyed, their soul would report everything they had seen to the will of the Endless Abyss, leaving an indelible coordinate!

Even if a primordial demon became a deity in another world, its soul would remain aligned with the abyss, dragging that world into the Endless Abyss!

Ensuring the world was fully captured.

Demonic armies operating outside acted similarly.

Any demon army, while slaughtering the invaded world, would bring back the most precious spoils to the Endless Abyss, seeking greater power, rather than consuming them in that plane!

Besides valuable materials, slaves, and most importantly, souls, the armies would instinctively corrupt that world's rules, elements, and energy systems.

Such world corruption gave the Endless Abyss extra gains!

For example, if a world's rule was fully corrupted by demons, the Endless Abyss would gain a similar rule.

Though twisted by extreme chaos, this rule would remain usable!

This was the key to the Endless Abyss truly becoming stronger.

The Endless Abyss needed everything from the outside world…

To expand itself!

And demons were the most loyal "hounds" of the Endless Abyss.

Thus, demons were the only true "children" of the abyss.

The genuine…

"Followers!"

---

Suddenly, the newly born primordial demon felt Chu Hao's gaze!

From its perspective, Chu Hao was the embodiment of the will of the Endless Abyss.

Being watched by such an existence…

The primordial demon trembled instinctively!

This was life-form domination, and fear born of lineage.

It instinctively sensed that watching it was the source of the Endless Abyss, the creator of everything.

The pressure nearly suffocated it, leaving no thought of resistance, only to pray and… please!

Seeing this, Chu Hao smiled with satisfaction.

He casually clapped his hands, instantly bringing the primordial demon with him to the area of a slightly weaker abyssal creature.

"Sniff sniff…"

The primordial demon immediately locked onto the other creature's location using its sense of smell, a cave!

Chu Hao released his pressure, letting the other creature move freely.

Soon, the two twisted monsters instinctively fought each other in the small cave, under the encouragement of the Endless Abyss!

After a terrifying battle, the slightly stronger primordial demon brutally killed the abyssal creature, leaving only scattered remains.

After devouring the useful parts, the primordial demon successfully absorbed all of its attributes!

Finally, amid agonized howls…

The primordial demon gained a new trait!

Its back split open, and from the mass of flesh, two wings emerged!

This was one of its strongest traits.

Meanwhile, all other life traits were perfectly retained, unless replaced by stronger or more suitable traits.

Seeing this, Chu Hao finally relaxed.

"All going smoothly! The demon form is finally confirmed! And…"

"I can also consider the third assessment!"
