Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, every cultivator's gaze remained fixed on the giant screen as the image of the Abyssal Demon World fully appeared. The moment Xu Shen stepped through the portal, the system automatically connected his simulation to the display inside the café, allowing everyone present to witness the events inside the new Mythic Realm.
Unlike the battlefields of the previous realms, the Abyssal Demon World looked completely different.
The land itself seemed corrupted.
Jagged black mountains stretched endlessly across the horizon, their peaks sharp and twisted like the claws of some ancient beast. Rivers of dark crimson liquid flowed through the valleys between them, glowing faintly as if they carried the blood of the world itself.
Above the land hung a sky filled with swirling red clouds.
Occasionally, flashes of purple lightning tore through the clouds, illuminating the barren world below.
Inside the café, several cultivators whispered nervously.
"This place…"
"…feels like hell."
Nearby, Liu Kang scratched his head as he leaned closer to the screen.
"Hahaha… okay."
He squinted at the dark mountains.
"That definitely looks like a demon world."
Beside him, Chen Yu remained serious.
"The demonic aura in that realm is overwhelming."
Yan Feng nodded slowly.
"The environment itself is hostile."
On the third-floor balcony overlooking the hall, Long Wei observed the battlefield carefully.
"This realm…"
He paused briefly.
"…is much darker than the previous ones."
Beside him, Mo Tian spoke quietly.
"The demonic energy in that world is extremely dense."
Inside the simulation, Xu Shen stood on the edge of a cracked plateau overlooking the abyssal landscape.
The moment he entered the realm, he felt the oppressive pressure surrounding him.
Dark energy filled the air.
Each breath felt heavier.
Xu Shen slowly drew the sword from his back.
The silver blade reflected the crimson sky.
"This world…"
He muttered quietly.
"…really is filled with demons."
Inside the café, several cultivators leaned closer to the screen.
"What's the first enemy?"
"Did the system show anything?"
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian quietly watched the system panel inside his mind.
The interface displayed the information clearly.
FIRST BOSS — ABYSSAL DEMON LORD
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow slightly.
"The demon lord should appear soon."
Inside the simulation, Xu Shen slowly stepped forward across the cracked plateau.
The ground beneath his feet was covered with strange black stone that seemed to absorb the faint light from the sky.
As he walked deeper into the world, the demonic aura grew stronger.
Suddenly—
The ground trembled.
Inside the café, several cultivators gasped.
"It's starting!"
Inside the simulation, a deep rumbling sound echoed across the barren mountains.
The crimson rivers began bubbling violently.
Black mist rose from the cracks in the earth.
Xu Shen stopped moving.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Something is coming."
Then—
A massive explosion erupted from the ground.
A colossal claw burst through the cracked earth in the valley below.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators shouted.
"That thing is huge!"
The ground continued breaking apart as a monstrous figure slowly emerged from beneath the abyssal valley.
Dark scales covered its enormous body.
Two gigantic wings unfolded slowly from its back.
Its head resembled that of a demonic dragon.
And its burning crimson eyes glowed like twin stars in the darkness.
Inside the café, Liu Kang stared at the screen.
"Hahaha…"
He paused.
"…that's definitely a demon lord."
Beside him, Chen Yu frowned.
"That creature is enormous."
Yan Feng nodded slowly.
"It's even larger than the War Sovereign from the Heavenly War Domain."
On the third-floor balcony, Long Wei's expression grew serious.
"The demonic aura around that creature…"
"…is extremely powerful."
Beside him, Mo Tian whispered quietly.
"That must be the Abyssal Demon Lord."
Inside the simulation, the enormous demon slowly lifted its head.
Its wings spread across the sky like a living shadow.
The crimson clouds above the battlefield twisted violently.
Then the creature spoke.
Its voice echoed across the mountains like thunder.
"Another mortal dares to enter my world."
Inside the café, several cultivators shivered.
"That voice…"
"It sounds terrifying."
Inside the simulation, Xu Shen calmly raised his sword.
"I came here to challenge this realm."
The demon lord laughed.
The sound shook the mountains.
"Challenge?"
Its glowing eyes focused on Xu Shen.
"You will become food."
The demon lord suddenly moved.
Its massive wings flapped once.
The enormous creature launched into the sky.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators gasped.
"It can fly!"
Inside the simulation, the demon lord dove downward like a falling meteor.
Its massive claws descended toward Xu Shen.
Xu Shen reacted instantly.
He jumped sideways.
The claws struck the ground.
The entire valley exploded under the impact.
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian watched calmly.
Inside his mind, the system panel updated again.
ABYSSAL DEMON LORD — ACTIVE
COMBAT STARTED
Inside the simulation, Xu Shen raised his sword again.
The silver blade glowed faintly as spiritual energy gathered around it.
Across the battlefield, the massive demon lord slowly lifted its head again.
Crimson flames flickered inside its mouth.
The creature spoke once more.
"Your soul…"
The flames grew brighter.
"…will strengthen my power."
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the cultivators leaned closer to the screen.
Because the first battle of the Abyssal Demon World had begun.
And the challenger facing the Abyssal Demon Lord…
Was completely alone.
