Lin Yun had just regained consciousness and controlled the Abyssal Magic Bug to raise its head. At a glance, he saw an Abyssal Blood Crow a dozen times bigger than him crazily rushing towards him.
Lin Yun shook his head and looked at the Abyssal Blood Crow with some annoyance. He slightly separated a wisp of his spirit power, which had already reached the limit of what the Abyssal Magic Bug could bear.
In an instant, a dark red fireball the size of an ordinary human fist appeared in front of the Abyssal Blood Crow. The fireball struck the Abyssal Blood Crow and quickly turned into a wave of fire that drowned the Abyssal Blood Crow.
The raging flames instantly burned the Abyssal Blood Crow to ashes.
After releasing a weakened Fireball, Lin Yun felt a burst of exhaustion and a strong sense of hunger. His body was already dehydrated. If he didn't replenish his water, he would die of thirst before starving to death.
Seeing the surrounding barren scene, Lin Yun more or less understood what had happened here.
The crimson sun hung in the center of the sky, there was no moisture in the air, and breathing the air was filled with a burning smell. Every breath was like swallowing scalding sand.
Most of the corpses of the Abyssal Magic Bugs in the surroundings were born less than half a day ago. Clearly, these Abyssal Magic Bugs were born near dawn.
As the sun rose, the scalding heat rapidly raised the temperature of the air. None of the Abyssal Magic Bugs here survived, and more than half of them had all the water in their bodies evaporated by the terrifying heat, turning them into dried corpses.
Only the Abyssal Magic Bug that Lin Yun had reincarnated survived. Of the ten thousand Abyssal Magic Bugs, only Lin Yun, the reincarnator, survived, but his body was already on the verge of collapse.
If not for Lin Yun, none of the ten thousand Abyssal Magic Bugs here would have survived for more than half a day.
Even in normal times, these tens of thousands of Abyssal Magic Insects wouldn't be scorched to death by the scorching sun, and they wouldn't be able to survive for more than ten days. And these ten might be devoured the next day.
Because whether it was the scavenging Abyssal Blood Crows or Demons, they would all treat Abyssal Magic Insects as food. In most places in the Abyss, the environment was so vile that even Demons couldn't bear it. Something as tender and juicy as Abyssal Magic Insects was simply a delicacy that could be devoured directly.
Any lifeform in the Abyss could treat Abyssal Magic Insects as food. If it wasn't for the Abyssal Magic Insects' terrifying reproduction ability, they would have gone extinct long ago.
This was why when the other Heaven Rank powerhouses saw that Lin Yun had reincarnated as an Abyssal Magic Bug that could feed on the lowest level of Abyssal lifeforms, they all thought that Lin Yun had already died.
No one would think that Lin Yun had taken the initiative to reincarnate into the Abyssal Magic Bug's body, because that was courting death. If he was lucky, he wouldn't be sunburned to death. When he opened his eyes, he would have to face an Abyssal Blood Crow that was dozens of times stronger than the Abyssal Magic Bug.
Unfortunately, no one knew that the Abyssal Magic Insect was the most terrifying lifeform in the Abyss. It was because the Abyssal Magic Insect was the only lifeform in the Abyss that wasn't restricted by bloodlines.
Currently, none of the Demons in the Abyss would take an Abyssal Magic Insect seriously. Up until eight millennia later, an Abyssal Magic Insect that was favored by fate would be lucky enough to live for a year.
An ordinary Abyssal Magic Bug that could live for more than three months was already a rare occurrence in a thousand years. However, there was an Abyssal Magic Bug that had lived for a year without being killed.
And a terrifying change occurred. During that year, that Abyssal Magic Insect relied on its instincts to devour and accumulated enough mana. It then broke out of its cocoon and transformed into a butterfly. It shed its Abyssal Magic Insect's body and turned into an Underground Crawler, an ordinary Abyssal lifeform.
From then on, that seemingly ordinary Underground Crawler kept accumulating mana, and when it reached Level 10, it once again transformed into a Blade Demon, a kind of Abyssal lifeform with a Demonic Bloodline.
When it reached Level 20, it transformed into a Strength Demon, and when it reached Level 30, it transformed into a Bronze Demonic Bloodline.
When it reached Level 35, it transformed into a Silver Demonic Bloodline, and when it reached Level 40 and broke through to become an Extraordinary lifeform, it once again became a member of the ten Gold Demonic Bloodlines.
And this was not the end. As time passed, this former Abyssal Demon Insect continued to transform, transforming from the last of the ten great Golden Demon Bloodlines to the top three of the ten great Golden Demon Bloodlines.
When it surpassed Demon Overlord and became a Greater Demon Overlord, the most important change in the history of the Abyss appeared. A kind of lifeform that surpassed the ten Gold Demonic Bloodlines appeared!
After Noscent entered the Planar Colonization Era and developed to its peak, the only time Noscent suffered a large-scale Demon Invasion was under the leadership of this Demon Monarch!
It wasn't until Noscent's peak powerhouses returned and got rid of this Demon Monarch that they obtained this biggest secret. That Demon Monarch was actually a bottom-most Abyssal Magic Insect at the start!
After countless years of research, they came to the conclusion that the Abyssal Magic Insect was the only lifeform in the Abyss that didn't have bloodline restrictions. In other words, as long as there was a suitable opportunity, the Abyssal Magic Insect could evolve limitlessly!
And all the lifeforms in the Abyss had already been restricted by their bloodlines. Apart from the seventy-two bloodlines and some powerful abyssal lifeforms, the other abyssal lifeforms simply couldn't advance to the Heaven Rank. As for the Greater Demon Overlord, he was bound to be a peak powerhouse among the ten Gold Demonic Bloodlines and Silver Demonic Bloodlines.
This had never happened in the countless years of the Abyss' history. Bloodline and race determined the limit, it was impossible to break through that limit.
Only the bottom-most Abyssal Magic Insects weren't affected by this restriction. Abyssal Magic Insects had the ability to evolve limitlessly. Even all the mages of Noscent concluded that the first lifeform to be born in the endless Abyss might have been the Abyssal Magic Insects, and all the other lifeforms in the Abyss had evolved from Abyssal Magic Insects.
After Noscent developed to the Magic Explosion, the only time it was invaded on a large scale was naturally recorded in detail. And the number of books left behind from the research of Abyssal Magic Insects was even more numerous than the works of some mages that ignited their Godfires.
Even if a bottom-tier Demon reincarnated, its magic power would be completely crippled.
There was still an Abyssal Magic Insect, so Lin Yun naturally chose it.
After resting for a while, Lin Yun cautiously roused a bit of his mind power and summoned a wisp of water elemental power to condense a fist-sized ball of water. He then opened his mouth and swallowed that ball of water.
After drinking that ball of water, Lin Yun felt alive. His dehydrated body rapidly recovered to its peak state, and his body even became a bit stronger.
'Damn, it's really a lifeform with formidable vitality. It didn't die even after being dehydrated by a third. After replenishing its water, it can recover to its peak state in less than three seconds.
'As long as I keep devouring mana, I'll be able to get rid of the Abyssal Magic Insect's form after reaching Level 5. That form is really too hateful. Anything can treat the Abyssal Magic Insect as food.
Lin Yun opened his mouth and devoured the scalding abyssal power in the air. A simple rune appeared in his body, and after that scalding abyssal power passed through the rune, it immediately became a lot gentler. At least, it was within the range that the Abyssal Magic Insect could accept.
As it devoured more and more mana, runes kept appearing, and soon, a formula formed from runes appeared.
That formula collapsed and transformed into a simple and crude furnace shadow. Lin Yun devoured mana once again and threw it into that crude furnace shadow. The scalding feeling disappeared, and the berserk aura within the abyssal power also disappeared, leaving behind only the purest mana.
Sure enough, the Void Forge could be used. It was known as the Void Forge that could devour any kind of mana. Not only could humans use it, but other lifeforms could also use it as long as they adapted a bit.
At the end of the Magic Era, some mages had speculated about this. Unfortunately, the earth had become barren at that time, and apart from humans, only sandworms remained, those pure slaughterers without a bit of intelligence.
It was impossible to find other magic beasts, and the Void Forge couldn't be used to experiment with other lifeforms.
After the Void Forge's first Meditation Formula appeared, Lin Yun's Abyssal Magic Insect incarnation became a 1st Rank Magic Beast. At the very least, he could use a lot more mind power, and the Abyssal Magic Insect's body wouldn't explode because of using too much mind power.
Compared to other lifeforms of the Abyss, the Abyssal Magic Insect's body was indeed as weak as a dish, let alone a Demon.
Lin Yun wriggled his body and hid in a small cave, continuously devouring mana.
At this stage, he could only devour the abyssal mana in the air to increase his rank, he couldn't even open a Demiplane. The mana needed to open a Demiplane was completely negligible before.
But to an Abyssal Magic Insect, he would need to reach the 3rd Rank before he could open a Demiplane once.
And this was because the Natural Demiplane had once again increased in rank, and Lin Yun's control over the Natural Demiplane had greatly increased.
To put it simply, the Natural Demiplane was now bound to Lin Yun's soul and no longer to Lin Yun's body.
The other Heaven Mages' Demiplanes were connected to their bodies, not their souls. At least at this stage, no Heaven Mage could do this.
After reincarnating into the Endless Abyss, they had nothing else. Apart from their own souls, they did not bring anything else with them.
Hiding in the depths of the small cave, Lin Yun's rank rapidly increased with the appearance of the Void Forge. By the time that huge crimson sun disappeared over the horizon, Lin Yun had already advanced to the 3rd Rank.
This was because as long as the Abyssal Magic Insect had mana, it could keep advancing. After reaching the 3rd Rank, it could use all its mana to open a crack in the Demiplane, a crack big enough to take out a potion.
Lin Yun controlled the Abyssal Magic Insect's ugly body and gathered all the mana into its sinister mouthpart. The mana converged into three runes that fiercely collided.
In an instant, a spatial crack the size of an adult human's palm opened up, and a glass bottle filled with potions the color of the night sky fell out of the spatial crack.
As the potion swayed, the potion within the potion bottle looked like a flickering starry sky, flickering with endless light.
The potion bottle fell to the ground and the spatial crack disappeared.
After opening the potion bottle, rich and pure mana came out of the potion bottle. With just one breath, the mana he had just consumed was completely replenished.
After lightly touching a drop of the potion, Lin Yun felt a huge amount of mana explode in his body. After three minutes, the mana was completely digested and Lin Yun swallowed another drop.
Suddenly, the level of the Abyssal Magic Insect Lin Yun's incarnation could be seen growing at a visible speed. Its body also grew from the size of a palm to half a meter long.
That potion was nothing else, it was pure Mana Water. It was the water of the Natural Demiplane's mana pond. Every drop was condensed from pure mana purified by Mana Vines.
As for the Abyssal Magic Insect, it only needed mana to grow. As long as it had enough mana, it could reach Level 30 without stopping. Even Level 40 wasn't impossible.
But the higher the level of the Abyssal Magic Insect, the bigger its body would be. At Level 40, it would be bigger than a Demon Overlord, bigger than an Abyssal Black Dragon.
The air slowly cooled down and the world that had been like a furnace during the day rapidly dropped. Pitch-black clouds pressed down and a torrential rain poured down from the sky like a flood.
In an instant, the entire world seemed to have turned into a world of water. Everywhere was being invaded by the rain. Under the ground, those withered plants greedily devoured the water. Every second was like a day of growth. It only took a few minutes for the earth to be covered in dark green plants.
And the Abyssal lifeforms that had disappeared during the day were now coming out of nowhere. All kinds of Abyssal lifeforms were emerging.
A rabbit with red eyes and spikes all over its body opened its mouth and continuously drank water. Then, its mouth was like an alchemy weed puppet, harvesting the spiky plants that grew crazily on the ground. The spikes of those plants seemed to have no effect on the rabbit, and they were easily devoured.
And at this time, a pitch-black python with two heads bit the Spiky Rabbit. The spikes on the Spiky Rabbit's body also lost their effect and were devoured by the two-headed python.
After the two-headed python slithered for less than ten meters, the plants that grew crazily from the ground seemed to have come to life. The dark green vines suddenly sprouted barbed thorns, which instantly pierced the body of the black python.
Then, those barbed spikes were like a dozen pairs of sharp claws that firmly grabbed the python's body. The dark green vines seemed to have come to life and kept expanding and contracting. It only took three or four seconds for the python's blood to be cleanly devoured.
And this was only a corner of a dozen meters.
A murderous, ice-cold, and tyrannical aura instantly filled the entire world.
Lin Yun, who had poked his head out of the cave to observe, was stunned.
'Damn, this isn't a desolate Abyssal Plane, it's a named Abyssal Plane. Hell, it's a plane similar to Noscent …'
During the day, Lin Yun had thought that this world was an Abyssal Plane rich in fire elements. This kind of Abyssal Plane came from the upper layers of the Abyss and was the most numerous in the Abyss.
It was a dried-up world with a pitiful amount of water and the smell of lava and sulfur was everywhere. The fire elements were rich, followed by earth elements, wind elements, and water elements.
The Demons that could be seen in Noscent all carried a thick sulfuric smell because almost all the Demons that could appear in the upper half of the Abyss came from this layer.
Powerful Demons could only appear in these planes. And the lower the Abyss, the lower the probability of appearing in the upper layers, the lower the probability of appearing in Noscent or other planes.
And this plane was like a desert during the day, filled with high temperature and heat. It didn't seem to have any vitality, but at night, it would start raining and plants would rapidly grow. All lifeforms would appear, and killing and hunting would become the main theme of the night.
During the day, the water on the earth would be evaporated by the terrifying scorching sun. When the sun disappeared over the horizon, the water in the sky would condense due to the frantic drop in temperature and fall back to the earth.
Here, the day was the time for all lifeforms to rest, while the night was the time when all lifeforms were active.
Apart from the vile environment, this place was more like Noscent, and this kind of world couldn't appear in the upper layers of the Abyss. Only in the middle layers of the Abyss could this kind of environment appear.
And this kind of environment, without exception, was definitely controlled by a Greater Demon Overlord!
After seeing this situation, Lin Yun decisively gave up on maintaining his Abyssal Magic Bug form.
Even if the Abyssal Magic Bug could devour mana until level 40 …
But in this kind of dangerous place, the huge Abyssal Magic Bug without any fighting strength was the food of the powerful abyssal lifeforms.
As long as it advanced to level 10, the Abyssal Magic Bug's body would expand to four to five meters long. At that time, it would definitely attract some Demons to hunt it.
His body would be destroyed, and a human soul would appear in the middle layers of the Abyss. This was a huge joke.
The Greater Abyssal Overlord controlling this layer would definitely be happy to capture a human soul. At that time, he wouldn't be able to die even if he wanted to.
And the biggest possibility was that his soul would be torn apart when his body was destroyed.
Lin Yun softly sighed. After continuously devouring mana, the Abyssal Magic Bug had already reached level 15. In fact, it could have gone through its first transformation.
The higher the level, the more powerful the abyssal lifeform's bloodline would be. But now, it had no choice but to transform. It was only nightfall, but the air was already filled with the aura of chaos and slaughter. In another hour or two, it would definitely become even more chaotic. At that time, hiding in this cave would be impossible to avoid the pursuit of the predators.
After all, the Abyssal Magic Bug was a piece of fat meat that could be eaten as soon as they opened their mouths.
