Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the excitement and tension inside the hall returned once again as the battle inside the Abyssal Demon World officially began. The giant screen displayed the dark battlefield where Xu Shen now stood face to face with the massive creature known as the Abyssal Demon Lord.
The demonic dragon-like monster hovered in the air above the cracked valley, its enormous wings stretching across the crimson sky. Dark scales covered its body like ancient armor, and its glowing red eyes burned with terrifying intelligence.
Unlike the mindless monsters of lower realms, this creature clearly possessed awareness.
Inside the café, several cultivators whispered nervously.
"That thing is enormous."
"It's even bigger than the War Sovereign."
Nearby, Liu Kang stared at the screen with wide eyes.
"Hahaha… okay."
He pointed toward the demon lord.
"That one definitely looks like a boss."
Beside him, Chen Yu remained serious.
"The demonic aura around that creature…"
He paused slightly.
"…is extremely dense."
Yan Feng nodded slowly.
"And its intelligence is high."
On the third-floor balcony overlooking the hall, Long Wei watched the battlefield carefully.
"This demon lord is far more dangerous than the enemies from the first Mythic Realm."
Beside him, Mo Tian added quietly.
"But it might not be as powerful as the Ancient War God."
Inside the simulation, Xu Shen stood calmly as he faced the giant demon lord.
His sword glowed faintly with spiritual energy.
The demonic dragon slowly circled above him.
Then the demon lord spoke again.
"You smell…"
Its voice echoed across the valley.
"…like a cultivator who hunts demons."
Xu Shen raised his sword slightly.
"I do."
Inside the café, Liu Kang laughed.
"Hahaha! Straight to the point!"
Inside the simulation, the demon lord grinned, revealing rows of massive fangs.
"Good."
Dark flames began gathering inside its mouth.
"I enjoy killing demon hunters."
Then—
The demon lord attacked.
The massive creature dove from the sky with terrifying speed.
Its claws aimed directly at Xu Shen.
Xu Shen reacted instantly.
He jumped backward.
The claws struck the ground.
The entire valley exploded under the impact.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators gasped.
"That attack was insane!"
Inside the simulation, Xu Shen moved quickly.
His sword flashed.
The blade struck the demon lord's claw.
Sparks scattered across the battlefield.
But the scales barely cracked.
Inside the café, Chen Yu frowned.
"Those scales are extremely durable."
Yan Feng nodded.
"They function like armor."
Inside the simulation, the demon lord swung its enormous tail.
Xu Shen ducked beneath the attack.
The tail smashed through several black stone pillars behind him.
The battlefield shook violently.
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian calmly watched the system panel inside his mind.
ABYSSAL DEMON LORD — COMBAT ACTIVE
REALM EVOLUTION PROGRESS: 88%
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"The new realm is also accelerating the system."
Inside the simulation, Xu Shen jumped forward.
His sword flashed again.
The blade struck the demon lord's wing.
A small crack appeared in the dark scale.
Inside the café, several cultivators shouted.
"He damaged it!"
Nearby, Liu Kang grinned.
"Hahaha! That demon isn't invincible!"
But the demon lord immediately retaliated.
It opened its mouth.
Crimson flames erupted outward.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators shouted.
"Fire breath!"
Inside the simulation, Xu Shen sprinted across the valley.
The flames burned across the ground behind him.
Black stone melted under the intense heat.
Standing near the screen, Chen Yu whispered.
"That attack could melt steel."
Inside the simulation, Xu Shen suddenly jumped onto a rocky cliff.
From that height he launched himself toward the demon lord's head.
His sword flashed.
The blade struck the demon's forehead.
A loud crack echoed across the battlefield.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators erupted.
"He hit the head!"
But the demon lord roared angrily.
Its wings exploded with demonic energy.
A powerful shockwave blasted Xu Shen away.
Xu Shen landed several meters away on the cracked ground.
Standing near the screen, Yan Feng frowned.
"That demon lord is far stronger than normal bosses."
Inside the simulation, the demon lord slowly descended to the ground.
Its massive body crushed the valley floor beneath it.
Dark energy gathered around its claws.
Then the system warning appeared.
BOSS SKILL ACTIVATED
ABYSSAL FLAME STORM
Inside the café, several cultivators shouted nervously.
"That sounds dangerous!"
Inside the simulation, crimson fire erupted across the battlefield.
Flames spread across the valley like a storm.
The sky itself seemed to burn.
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian watched calmly.
"The demon lord is revealing its abilities."
Inside the simulation, Xu Shen tightened his grip on his sword.
He looked toward the massive demon standing before him.
"This realm…"
He muttered quietly.
"…is far more dangerous than the previous ones."
Across the battlefield, the demon lord slowly spread its wings again.
Its burning eyes locked onto Xu Shen.
"You will burn."
The flames around the valley surged higher.
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the cultivators leaned closer to the screen once again.
Because the first challenger of the Abyssal Demon World…
Was about to face the true power of the Abyssal Demon Lord.
