Swallowing the Stars: Becoming Invincible Starting from Refining the Three Thousand Great Daos

Chapter 114 Purgatory Features

With his feet firmly on the ground, Zhou Tong knew he had reached the first level of the Purgatory Abyss.

Before he could fully see his surroundings, Zhou Tong frowned, irritated by the pungent smell of blood.

Shut down your sense of smell, then use your mental powers to scan your surroundings and investigate the environment.

Everywhere you look, there are rows of white bones, even the soil is stained with blood. Plants are scarce, and the few trees that do appear are twisted and grotesque, covered with barbs and full of aggression.

Looking at the wisps of blood mist drifting in the air, Zhou Tong looked somewhat puzzled.

"Looks like a deserted area?"

There were no demons found within tens of thousands of miles, not even a trace of any living creature.

Zhou Tong immediately took off and flew into the sky to explore other places.

After flying nearly 100 kilometers, Zhou Tong heard a series of intense, high-pitched battle cries.

"That's... an abyssal blood sacrifice ritual?"

A blood-red cloud covered an area of ​​tens of thousands of kilometers in the distance, and one could clearly feel a vast and majestic supreme will.

Zhou Tong seemed to be looking at the entire world.

Demons of all sizes and shapes fought each other frantically on the ground, like tireless robots.

The demons used every part of their bodies that could attack to strike anything that could move within their reach.

When hungry, they would tear off the flesh of their enemies and swallow it raw; when thirsty, they would bite the neck of their enemies or lie on the ground and drink the accumulated blood.

Bloody, primitive, savage, insanely cruel—Zhou Tong racked his brains for adjectives, but still couldn't fully describe the scene he saw.

"Um?"

Zhou Tong suddenly sensed with his mental power that demons were constantly rushing towards him from all around him.

He reached out and grabbed it.

The demon that was running in the lead and closest to him was caught and brought in front of him.

Comparing the information in his mind, Zhou Tong recognized that this was a servant-level Voldemort, named for his fondness for digging holes to hide and ambushing from the shadows, and skilled in the laws of earth.

With a glare, Zhou Tong's mental power instantly invaded Voldemort's mind and soul.

A moment later, Zhou Tong learned why the demons had discovered him so quickly.

"An unfamiliar presence—an outsider—"

Zhou Tong snapped Voldemort's neck and casually tossed the corpse into the air.

The information I just obtained from Voldemort's mind was mostly meaningless fighting, with only two points being slightly useful.

The closed environment of the Purgatory Abyss made him, an outsider, feel out of place, and even very conspicuous.

Demons born from the very beginning of their lives are constantly fighting and being killed, their bodies filled with bloodshed, slaughter, and madness.

Compared to him, Zhou Tong, who came from elsewhere, was far too clean-cut, like a ray of light in the darkness, his difference immediately apparent.

This is one of the reasons why the mortality rate in the Abyss of Purgatory is as high as 99%.

The moment the trial participants arrived at the Abyss of Purgatory, their identities as outsiders were exposed.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they were surrounded by a large number of demons and engaged in a fierce battle until they were piled up and killed.

"Demons or celestial demons—as long as you are demons, I am your natural enemy! I am your born master!"

Amazing magic trick!

Instantly, the demons that were still howling at Zhou Tong turned their attention to the demons around them and launched an attack.

These demons are inherently unrestrained, and are constantly dominated by their own desires.

Having just been drawn in by Zhou Tong, they are temporarily united against a common enemy.

But once the magic trick of the Great Heart is triggered and amplified, they instantly revert to their true selves and begin to instinctively fight each other.

Demons kill from birth, and their first taste of milk is the blood of their own kind.

The demons gathered in ever greater numbers, and the slaughter became increasingly fierce.

The blood clouds formed by the distant abyss blood sacrifice ritual actually began to spread towards Zhou Tong.

"I#--"

Zhou Tong immediately used a teleportation technique to get away from the abyss blood sacrifice ritual.

He doesn't care about killing, but meaningless killing is truly meaningless.

He had already witnessed the unique features of the Purgatory Abyss.

The first level was mostly filled with servants, far from Zhou Tong's expectations.

He must continue to delve deeper into the abyss of purgatory to find higher-level demons and a suitable territory.

This would make it easier for Irina to set up the Zerg hive, release the Zerg warriors, and begin the King Zerg Warrior Training Program.

At the same time, he can also select demon races that suit his taste during the process, making it easier to collect them later.

Virtual Universe Company has fairly complete information about the Abyss of Purgatory, but some minor details are missing.

For example, what demon races are on each level, who rules them, and where is the entrance to the next level? These are all things that the trial participants need to find out for themselves.

If every little detail is considered, then the trial becomes meaningless.

Zhou Tong randomly searched for demon souls, but he didn't get the information he wanted about the entrance to the lower abyss of purgatory.

Fortunately, Zhou Tong found a clue.

The lord demon who commands these slave-level demons knows the location of the entrance.

Although he did not know the direction or the distance, he possessed the three thousand great paths.

Grand Deduction Technique!

In an instant, a piece of information from the unseen world appeared in Zhou Tong's mind.

"3000 billion kilometers?"

Zhou Tong estimated that even if he used the Great Teleportation Technique to deplete his energy, he still wouldn't be able to reach him.

Fortunately, he had Irina.

He didn't release Irina before because he wanted to keep her in top condition so that when the time was right, she could immediately begin the process of breaking through to immortality.

But given the current situation, we can only take a long-term approach.

Irina emerged from the World Ring, scanned her surroundings, and looked around in confusion.

"My lord! Shall I begin my journey to immortality here?"

Zhou Tong shook his head: "The breakthrough is temporarily delayed, and we don't know how long it will take to find a suitable place and time."

Then Zhou Tong used his mental power to transmit the coordinates and direction of the Demon Lord to Irina.

"Let's get going first. Once we find the demon lord who rules this area, we'll figure out the specific details before making any further arrangements."

Irina nodded, lifted Zhou Tong into her majestic arms, and then used the Great Teleportation Technique.

After walking and resting intermittently, it took Irina more than ten days to reach the location designated by Zhou Tong.

"Castlevania? Interesting."

In the distance, on the plains, stands a simple city with a wild and dark appearance.

Landing in a corner, Zhou Tong and Irina used a great transformation spell to transform into two demon races they had seen along the way that they found pleasing to the eye: a succubus and a blood demon.

These two are demons whose appearance is very similar to that of humans. If this were not the Abyss of Purgatory, Zhou Tong might have mistaken them for a branch of the human race.

"That blood demon pretty boy is really lucky; he actually caught the eye of the succubus lady—"

"Hehehe—I wonder how long that blood demon can hold out?"

"I bet I'll be sucked dry tonight and thrown to the ghouls for a meal."

Walking through the Devil Castle, Zhou Tong roughly figured out the general situation here.

The city is ruled by a succubus demon lord, hence the city is also known as the Succubus City.

On the streets, you can see succubi everywhere, only covering their private parts. Some succubi don't even have any covering at all, and some even engage in primal activities right there on the street.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many demons in the Succubus City, and that using a powerful magic spell would likely trigger an abyssal blood sacrifice ritual, delaying Zhou Tong's journey, he would have really wanted to try it.
