A newly promoted King of the Abyss would usually face a lot of challenges.
As the power of the King of the Abyss gradually became known and recognized, the number of challengers decreased. In the end, when the King of the Abyss displayed absolute power befitting of his status, it was normal that no one dared to challenge him for hundreds of years.
Thus, when another King of the Abyss faced the same problem, it was possible for a Lord of the Sorcerers World to be born through the rules of the abyss!
Grimm's so-called "King of the Abyss" was only the King of the Abyss of this small Pangu Abyss. Compared to the One Star, Two Star, Three Star, Four Star, and Five Star Abysses, it was almost negligible. However, the rules of the King of the Abyss reflected in it were the same.
Of course, this King of the Abyss was not recognized by the laws of the Sorcerers World at all.
It was unknown how many hundreds of years it would be before Agermond, who had displayed unparalleled power during the Violent Melee of Holm, would again be challenged by another King of the Abyss or a powerful being that the Will of the World paid attention to.
Compared to the pain and suffering Agermond faced, Grimm was undoubtedly in the same situation as Agermond in the first few decades when he ascended the throne of the King of the Abyss. A large number of challengers came one after another!
Over the past 30 years, Grimm had experienced seventy-nine battles, of which sixty-one challengers were killed on the spot by Grimm. Fourteen challengers left after handing over a large amount of wealth, and only four challengers successfully escaped after failing their challenges.
"The eightieth."
Grimm's body naturally elongated. Activating the first level of Wild Instinct was almost as easy as breathing. It no longer brought any burden to Grimm's body.
As long as Grimm wanted to, he could even maintain the first level of Wild Instinct without any problems.
Wielding the Cruel Blood Sword, Grimm turned into a shadow and took the initiative to charge at the Abyss Giant Centipede. Another fierce battle began.
Over the years, Grimm had gradually adapted to the life-and-death battles of the abyssal creatures, struggling to break through the rules of evolution, and benefiting a lot from the frequent battles. Under the triple enhancement of the life-and-death struggle, the circulation of the magnetic field, and the Male Poison Refinement Body, Grimm's basic physique was growing at an alarming rate.
Half an hourglass later.
Activating the second layer of Wild Instinct Ivory Armor, Grimm transformed into a three-meter-tall Bone Spike Giant and stood on top of the Abyssal Centipede's corpse. The Abyssal Centipede's poisonous gas attack was of limited threat to Grimm. Therefore, in its ivory form, this powerful Abyssal creature was easily killed by Grimm.
"Ga ga ga! Young Master, use it as nourishment for the Ardent Rainbow Fruit Tree. The abyssal plants over there have long been eutrophicated. "
As the spell symbols on the Cruel Blood Sword moved, a small crack suddenly appeared on the tip of the sword. A large amount of blood and flesh of the Abyss Giant Centipede, which was sealed by the Cruel Blood Sword, fell out. A large amount of white smoke rose from the flagstones on the ground, along with a sizzling sound of corrosion.
"Yes."
Grimm nodded, then suddenly asked, "By the way, how's the rainbow rooster doing? Has it recovered? Will the Mirage Lotus ripen on time?"
Little Eight smiled cunningly, "Young Master, I think it deliberately delayed the ripening date of the Mirage Lotus by a few years. Hmph, in my opinion, the Mirage Lotus will mature in two years at most. This guy was just preparing to run away after taking the lotus seed. Don't worry, Xiaowan and the Thousand-eyed Carcinus are watching over there. "
"Two years?"
Grimm touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "In this Pangu Abyss, the one who is most capable of taking over the position of the Abyss King should be that guy. Let's see what price he can offer. There are a lot of living supplies here."
… …
In the Pangu Abyss, Grimm tacitly agreed that the strongest resident should be the Abyss Old Locust Tree.
Every time Grimm's position as the Abyss King was challenged, his wild sixth sense always faintly felt that there were other spying lights, which made him very uncomfortable. It was not until one time when Grimm used the Mask of Truth that he finally found the traces of the spying. It turned out to be the roots of the Abyss Old Locust Tree.
This guy had actually extended its roots into this underground space.
Even Grimm could not help but think that this guy could be a native creature of this small abyss.
After that, the other party obviously realized that Grimm was aware of it, and no longer spied on it.
Swoosh!
After flying in the abyss for a day and a half, Grimm arrived at the nest of the Abyss Old Locust Tree, or rather, the cave that its trunk disguised as. The cave door behind him automatically closed the moment Grimm entered. Grimm was not surprised by this and kept walking along the passage.
At this time, Grimm was walking in the tree hole of the Abyss Old Locust Tree.
After a while, the light of fireflies appeared in the tree hole, floating in the air, extremely beautiful, and illuminating the small space at the end of the passage.
At the end of the tree hole, where the intertwined roots and branches converged, the face of an old woman vaguely formed. She looked at the golden-haired sorcerer who was walking towards her step by step, as well as the bright red and green myna on his shoulder.
"Caw caw caw caw, Old Locust Tree, my young master is here to sell the throne of the Abyss King at a low price. Are you interested?"
Before he even arrived, Little Eighth had already started yelling.
Grimm had been here twice, and naturally sat on a tree chair made of large vines in the tree hole. He took the cup of juice essence handed over by the Abyss Old Locust Tree with one hand, exuding a strong and stimulating smell that belonged to the abyss, or rather, the unique natural scent of the abyss.
Looking straight at the face reflected by the fireflies at the end of the passage, Grimm picked up the cup of juice essence, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "Just as my partner the Eight Rainbow Nevishy said, I am about to leave the Pangu Abyss, and in my observation, the one who is most qualified to be the next Abyss King in this abyss should be you."
After saying that, Grimm drank the juice essence in the cup in one gulp. An indescribable comfort spread, as if it was nourishing the exhaustion of the cells in his body.
"Hehehehehe …"
The huge old witch's face made of branches laughed slowly.
"Shadow of Despair, do you know why the name of this abyss, Pangu La, fell 2,300 years ago?"
Grimm shook his head, not knowing what the Abyss Old Locust Tree was trying to express.
The Abyss Old Locust Tree said with a mocking expression, "At that time, Pangu La was a famous powerhouse of the Three Star Abyss Holy Tower, but the Abyss King of the Three Star Abyss Holy Tower was too powerful. With that Abyss King around, Pangu La had no chance at all. And in order to satisfy her vanity with the title of Abyss King, Pangu La came here, defeated the former ruler of this place, and proclaimed herself as the Abyss King. She renamed this abyss after herself. "
"And then?"
Grimm asked casually, as if he didn't take it to heart.
The Old Locust Tree said in a low voice, "Later, when the Abyss King of the Two Star Abyss Holy Tower came to challenge the Three Star Abyss Holy Tower, he passed by here. After hearing about Pangu La, he made a special trip here to kill Pangu La, and thus evaluated the strength of the Three Star Abyss King of the Two Star Abyss Holy Tower at that time."
"Damn it, you're really cautious, old man. Hehehe, if you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. Young Master, the seven-colored rooster's rival, that old fox, is definitely interested in the Abyss King."
Little Eight snorted. Grimm got up with a smile and said goodbye to the Abyss Old Locust Tree.
Two days later.
Grimm, who came to another hidden cave, was warmly received by the owner of this cave, Gale Fox. This cunning fellow was said to be a foreign slave who escaped from the same colosseum as the seven-colored rooster.
"The throne of the Abyss King? No, no, no, that kind of thing is useless if you don't have the corresponding strength to sell it. Also, the target is too obvious. Once the bounty hunters find this abyss, they will definitely look for the place with the densest abyssal aura. "
The old fox rolled his eyes and smiled. "Your Excellency, Shadow of Despair, since you're going to leave anyway, I'm interested in trading the living resources in the abyss."
After thinking for a while, Grimm nodded. He realized that the Abyss King could not be sold as an item like he had imagined.
In that case, Grimm gave up on the idea of selling the throne of the Abyss King. He signaled for Little Eight to slowly discuss the price of the hoarded living resources with the old fox.
"Hehehe, what price are you going to offer?"
… …
After a full day and night, Little Myna and the old fox finally finished haggling over all the living necessities in Grimm's underground cavern, and confirmed it in the form of a contract.
Both sides had obtained conditions that were acceptable.
When Grimm was about to leave, the old fox suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Your Excellency, Shadow of Despair must have made some kind of contract with that rooster. Hehehe, but let me kindly remind you that the most precious part of the Phantom Lotus is not the lotus seed, but the lotus that has the power to communicate with the mysterious dark shadow."
