Chapter 710 Endless Abyss
The Abyss plane is roughly composed of two parts. The left side is Purgatory, which is full of demons, and the right side is the Underworld, which is the home of the devil. The left and right sides stand side by side.
There are seven levels of Purgatory.
The underworld is less than six levels.
Below Purgatory and the Underworld is the endless abyss.
According to legend, Purgatory and the Underworld originally had nine layers each, but were devoured bit by bit by the giant beasts in the endless abyss, until they became what they are today.
This giant beast that lives in the endless abyss has a specific name - the devouring beast.
"As expected of a 'subspecies of chaos', it can even ignore the power of rules and crush them to pieces in one go."
Ivan didn't expect that after running all the way and just entering the endless abyss, he ran into a group of devouring beasts, who gave him a direct warning.
At first glance, this group of devouring beasts looked like a number of flying dragons, but upon closer inspection, they turned out to be a nest of ferocious insects.
He condensed the power of all things into the 'World-Slaughtering Palm' and blocked it with one palm. However, the result was beyond his expectation. The World-Slaughtering Palm was decomposed by the swarm of flying insects in an instant and was swallowed up completely.
The swarm of flying insects suffered little damage.
Once upon a time, Ivan himself was also a skilled insect controller, but he had never seen such ferocious insects, which were simply beyond his cognition and common sense.
Considering that this was an endless abyss derived from the Well of Chaos and that the power of chaos had become the norm here, he felt relieved.
Chaos means disorder, and anything can happen.
"This wizard wants to see if you can really devour everything."
As an insect controller, being bullied by a group of insects was intolerable. Ivan took it seriously and immediately transformed into a king. The Ten Thousand Dragons Banner appeared in his hand and his power increased greatly.
Compared with the true king's body during the throne period, his supreme king's body is different.
With black hair and black robe, eyes like stars, his altitude remained at ninety-nine meters, giving people a feeling of returning to nature, but his body was surrounded by colorful mist, and he was not disturbed by the environment of the endless abyss at all, but changed the environment instead.
There was a faint colorful light coming from behind his head, and the soft light enveloped the surrounding area, making people dare not ignore it. This was actually the location of the Great Wisdom Wheel.
"Kakakaka."
"Well done."
The flying insects made low and brutal sounds, and a large group swarmed in, their breath connected as a whole, as if a river was flowing from the sky. Faced with this violent situation, Ivan was not afraid, and bravely stepped forward with the Ten Thousand Dragons Banner in his hand.
In an instant, he was surrounded by a large number of flying insects. Looking around, he saw ferocious-looking insects everywhere.
"Boom."
"Boom."
"Boom."
Any flying insect that comes within a certain range around Ivan will be illuminated by the light of the Great Wheel of Wisdom and will be suppressed in all aspects. Their speed will slow down, their reactions will become dull, their expressions will become confused. Then, they will be swept away by the Ten Thousand Dragons Banner, and each hit will be accurate, and the hit flying insects will be unable to get close.
In this way, although the flying insects seemed to cover the sky, there was actually empty space around him.
Soon, the long hair behind Ivan turned into inexplicable insect tentacles, which were filled with powerful universal power. They entangled the injured black flying insects and the tips of the tentacles penetrated into their bodies.
"What a powerful corrosive force. Fortunately, this wizard is no pushover."
After the insect whiskers pierced into the body of the flying insect, they were immediately invaded by the flying insect's own power. The power with a chaotic nature was very difficult to deal with, but fortunately his insect whiskers were endless.
As long as you grow fast enough, the force of corrosion will not be able to catch up.
Soon, his insect tentacles underwent some transformation and slowly approached these devouring beasts. Not only that, he also used the entangled flying insects as meteor hammers, beating the other flying insects with great pleasure, making it increasingly difficult for them to get close to him.
But the flying insects were extremely brave and fought to the death without retreating, and they did not show any signs of exhaustion. They just surrounded the place in a circle, forming a tight siege.
"Kakakaka."
"Kakakaka."
After half a day, the swarm of flying insects finally flooded the area.
What confused them was that the enemy in front of them suddenly disappeared. They were clearly surrounded tightly, and there were only flying insects on all sides, front and back. There was no other creature there.
The flying insects were tumbling up and down, making a lot of noise. After a while, they finally gave up their search and flew quickly in one direction.
None of them noticed that there was a new fellow in the swarm, blending silently among them. This person was of course Ivan in a different appearance.
'Haha, it really works.'
"This group of flying insects doesn't seem very smart. First, I need to understand their communication methods and behavior habits, and then find a way to fight for the position of leader of the insect group and make them work for me."
'Unfortunately, these guys have a special structure and involve chaotic forces, so they cannot be controlled by any means in a short period of time.'
Ivan dared to come to the notorious Endless Abyss and had already thought of a strategy. The arrival of this group of flying insects was just a coincidence.
He has a top-grade force artifact specifically designed for the devil clan - the Witch Ghost Life Face, which can easily transform the aura of the abyss plane. He also has Vanessa's careful teaching on the power of chaos, so it is no problem for him to simulate the shallow aura of chaos.
Combining various factors together, coupled with his research on this type of flying insects, he performed the "Great Transfiguration" and successfully disguised himself as a member of the insect swarm.
He has even greater ambitions. Once he gets to know the Zerg better, he will immediately rise up and replace the leader of the Zerg.
Once he had done that, he could start his real plan.
"Brother, where are we going?"
"Hunting, looking for food for the queen."
"Queen?"
"The Supreme Queen."
“——”
The flying insects here are all adult flying insects, elite backbones, with body lengths ranging from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters. There are more than 3,000 of them. They gather together in a black mass, but they are not very noticeable in the vast endless abyss.
Ivan was among them.
After a while, he figured out a lot of things. The real name of the flying insects was "Black-winged Fanged Insects". They did have dragon blood, and the blood of the famous Purgatory Black Dragon from the Abyss Plane.
The black-winged fang beetle has a queen, who should be a being similar to the "Queen of Insects" and has an extremely high status.
This wave of flying insects is just a collection team of the Queen Insect. The Queen Insect has other collection teams, as well as guards who closely protect the Queen Insect, and sentinel teams that gather information. The entire population is in good order.
After learning all this, he did not dare to act rashly.
But he did not leave the Zerg either. The Endless Abyss was derived from the Well of Chaos. It was connected to the chaotic world in the dark. Chaotic power was constantly absorbed and converted into other energies.
The chaotic power here has undergone a preliminary transformation, but has not been completely transformed. It still retains many chaotic characteristics, creating a unique and dangerous environment around it.
What chaos lightning, what chaos storm, what chaos sky fire, what chaos frozen river, what chaos poison cloud, and so on.
Such disasters are everywhere.
The black-winged fang beetles were the local tyrants in this area, and they were very familiar with the situation here. They could not hide most of the movements. Ivan followed the swarm of insects and easily avoided one danger after another, which was enough to prove this point. Of course, he would not leave easily.
Not only will he not leave, he will further disguise himself as a black-winged fang bug until they are indistinguishable from each other.
however.
What he didn't know was that two days after the black-winged fangs insect left, a powerful enemy came chasing him and tracked him all the way to the place where he was fighting with the swarm of insects. Electric light was everywhere, pushing out in circles, as if sensing something.
"So it's this way. You can't get away, little bug."
With some kind of obsession, the manic figure turned into a flash of lightning and continued to chase after him. In an instant, he traveled thousands of miles and drew a straight streamline in the air.
……
After searching for a long time, the 16th Black Winged Fangworm Collecting Team finally found new food. Led by the team leader, they swarmed over and surrounded the "Devil Honey Pig" they found.
The battle is about to break out.
"Brothers, come on."
"Ka-ka, for the Queen!"
Ivan, who had just been promoted to the captain of the 19th squad of the 16th Collection Brigade a few hours ago, gave timely orders to the brothers around him and rushed towards the strange-looking devouring beast in front of him.
This is actually a walking beast that can teleport short distances. Its body is like a large galaxy battleship, and its recovery ability is terrifying.
But in the eyes of the black-winged fangworms, this is a meat ball that can be harvested continuously, one of the most popular items in their diet, and the best gift for the Queen of Insects.
There was no need to mobilize. When the black-winged fang insects saw this devouring beast, their eyes lit up and they rushed over one after another.
In the end, the demon honey pig was beaten and poisoned until it passed out and was captured alive on the spot.
Ivan mixed in and made a lot of noise, but in fact he didn't do much and was quite lazy. After the battle, he felt uneasy for no reason, as if something bad was happening.
"Ka-ka, return to the nest! We will present the delicious food to the queen."
"Kaka, the Queen will live forever!"
Before he could think about it, the black-winged fang beetles began to return with their harvest, running in another direction in a black mass.
Ivan was very interested in the nest of the black-winged beetles. He wondered how the creatures here set up camp and whether it was different from other places.
He also had to deal with emergencies that could occur at any time and had to be 200% vigilant.
The black-winged beetles were experienced and knew the way. They followed the winding path, crossed a long distance, and finally cleverly entered a poisonous cloud swamp filled with poisonous smoke.
"Captain Zeyi?"
"Let's go, let's follow."
From a distance, it looks like a gigantic mass of slime; from a closer look, it looks like a poisonous cloud swamp filled with a chaotic aura, vast and boundless, full of tremendous energy.
As can be expected, this is also a natural fortress.
The reason why Ivan hesitated was that he considered it would not be easy to get out once he entered. Once his identity was exposed, he would be trapped in the enemy's nest.
After thinking it over again and again, he decided to continue pretending.
Because he had already figured out that the bad premonition came from behind, which meant that someone was eyeing him and was chasing him at every turn.
He had reason to suspect that he was closely following the ancestor of the wise old man's inheritance.
He could also analyze that if the people chasing them were not so familiar with the road conditions here, they would have caught up with the black-winged fang insect swarm long ago instead of falling behind.
Compared to fighting one or more ancestors, he believes more in his ability of disguise.
After these days of living with the insect swarm day and night, he kept exploring and deepening his transformation, and was already not much different from the black-winged fang insects of the collection team.
As long as he didn't come face to face with the queen of the swarm, he was 99% sure that nothing would go wrong.
Based on this, Ivan continued to follow the 16th Collection Team into the poisonous cloud swamp in front of them. Soon all the black-winged fang beetles disappeared, and even the entrance passage quickly disappeared.
After he went deep into the Poison Cloud Swamp, he found that this was indeed not a good place.
There is no doubt that this poisonous cloud swamp is one of the disasters evolved from the power of chaos, but the experienced Black Winged Fanged Zerg found the rules of its operation, made some adjustments, and turned it into the tribe's nest.
If you take a wrong step in a nest like this, there will be pitfalls everywhere.
Even those who are at the ancestor level have a great chance of ending up in disgrace.
The more Ivan looked at his surroundings, the more satisfied he felt. No matter how the enemies behind him locked onto his position, they were now isolated by this fortress.
This made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ka-ka, come on, two captains, follow me to meet the great queen."
"I'll come, I'll come, I'll come."
"You, and you, and the other brothers, don't worry, there will be many opportunities in the future."
“Ka-ka.”
The nest of the black-winged fang beetle is very delicately and complexly constructed. It winds around and around until it gradually approaches the center of the poisonous cloud swamp. The 16th collecting team returned to their home. It looks like a karst cave with a series of large and small holes, and is very simple.
As soon as he returned to the camp, the captain could not contain his excitement and was eager to pay a visit to the Queen of Insects, which made the black-winged Fang Insects under his command extremely excited.
But not everyone is qualified to see the great queen. Using the excuse of the devil honey pig, the captain named two team leaders. Seeing this, the other team leaders who were not selected became dejected.
"Well, Ze Yi, come here quickly."
"Cough cough cough."
Ivan was a little confused. He was a small team leader who had been slacking off from the beginning to the end, but he was actually favored by the big team leader. This was really rare. However, he did not want to meet the Queen of Insects, lest his identity be discovered.
"Ka?" Seeing that he didn't move, the captain's huge insect eyes were a little confused.
"Kaka, I didn't do anything good before, so I was not ashamed to meet the noble queen. I will definitely do it next time."
In the early years, Ivan was often accompanied by the Swift Wood Silkworm Clan, and later by the Swamp Ants, Fire Scorpions, etc. He knew the Zerg's thinking very well and naturally knew how to answer.
"Good job."
After hearing his words, the captain did not doubt anything. He immediately called the name of another team leader and hurried out of the camp carrying the prey brought back this time.
Ivan watched the three black-winged fang insects leave. After he looked away, he found that his subordinates were looking at him with even more admiration.
He didn't care too much about this, and his mind was more focused on the unknown enemy. He didn't know which ancestor it was, but it was so hateful that he was so relentless!
He just didn't believe that the other party could chase all the way to the depths of the black-winged fang beetle's nest.
On the other side, outside the huge poisonous cloud swamp, a bolt of lightning cut through space and turned into a slightly disheveled figure that fell into the floating poisonous smoke.
This man stared ahead with sinister eyes, his murderous intent undiminished. (End of this chapter)
