In the sky, a large amount of abyssal power converged into a black cloud. The black cloud rotated and formed a counter-rotating vortex. At the center of the vortex, a thick pillar of black smoke fell into the center of the bloody battlefield.
Thick black lightning followed the black smoke and struck the earth. In an instant, the earth split open and a huge volcanic crater appeared on the ground. Following the appearance of that volcanic crater, the boundless abyssal power in the sky transformed into black smoke and poured into the volcanic crater.
The volcano was like a monster drilling out of the ground and rapidly climbed. Within a few minutes, it transformed into a huge volcano with a diameter of several kilometers and a height of two to three kilometers.
A loud rumbling sound echoed as the volcano erupted.
Boundless lava and flames spread out of the volcanic crater. The black clouds formed by the converging abyssal power in the sky also thoroughly condensed there.
Small volcanoes also started appearing in the surroundings of that huge volcano. In less than an hour, the surrounding dozen kilometers turned into a group of volcanoes.
The blazing heat flooded the group of volcanoes.
Seeing this scene, the Demons that came to pledge their loyalty were thoroughly scared. They all knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads.
The huge bloodline pressure emitted by the Fire Demon Monarch made these Demons not dare to have any thoughts. They all cursed and swore eternal loyalty to the great Fire Demon Monarch.
After intimidating these traitorous Demons, Lin Yun felt that he should return.
He built an altar in the Demiplane and then a sacrificial altar in the group of volcanoes. That way, Bajiao, who had already activated his Evil Bone Demon bloodline, could use the sacrificial altar in the group of volcanoes to sacrifice the resources Lin Yun needed and send them to the receiving altar in Lin Yun's Demiplane.
That receiving altar had an abyssal rune carved by Lin Yun using his own blood, so it could be regarded as Lin Yun personally receiving it.
Moreover, with a large amount of Eternal Dark Gold, he could construct a defensive barrier around the Natural Demiplane. He didn't need to worry about someone finding the Demiplane through the sacrificial array.
He told his abyssal subordinates that the Great Overlord was going to enter a slumber to complete the process of adulthood. He told them to properly guard the territory and not to disturb him if there was nothing important. Lin Yun then jumped into the largest volcano.
After rousing that sacrificial power, Lin Yun felt a huge power wrapping around his soul and rushing out of the Abyss.
In that tunnel filled with light, Lin Yun went against the flow and that power was continuously consumed.
After rushing out of the Abyssal Gate, Lin Yun used his soul as a guide and quickly found his body. His soul poured into his body, and wisps of mana started recovering on the surface of Lin Yun's body. His aura of life and soul fluctuations also started slowly appearing.
And in the Abyss, Cross, as a former 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse, advanced the fastest. If not for Lin Yun leaving the Abyss before advancing to the Heaven Rank, Cross might have been the first to return.
The Demon's huge body thoroughly exploded and all its vitality and power were used to send Cross' soul back. A Demon Overlord had fallen in the Abyss.
On the other side, Clombton, who had fallen into the most filthy place, had no choice but to use his demonic body to comprehend the Law of Shadow Power in order to return. Cross left for less than a month before Clombton unhesitantly exploded his demonic body and sent his soul back to the Raging Flame Plane.
As for the others, they all advanced to level 39. Morgan was the luckiest and used the resources of the Underworld to rapidly advance to the Heaven Rank.
Then, Slythrin obtained the territory left behind by Lin Yun and advanced to the Heaven Rank.
In less than a year, the Heaven Rank powerhouses of Humans and Beastmen advanced to the Heaven Rank one after the other with their demonic bodies, whether successful or not.
Then, they exploded their demonic bodies and used their vitality and power to send their souls back to the Raging Flame Plane.
Within the dense Fog of Rebirth, corpse-like bodies started emitting mana fluctuations and life fluctuations one after another.
Apart from the unfortunate guys that fell in the Abyss, everyone slowly awakened.
The river of time seemed to flow differently in the Abyss and in the Raging Flame Plane, or perhaps the power of the river of time had been weakened by the Fog of Rebirth.
In less than three days, everyone within the Fog of Rebirth awakened one after another.
Lin Yun was the first to awaken. After awakening, the Fog of Rebirth's power that blocked sight, perception, and even soul power seemed to have disappeared. It looked like only a thin layer of fog was left in the air.
Within the Fog of Rebirth, the bodies of the Heaven Rank powerhouses sunk into self-protection, their shields were constantly raised. Lin Yun found Slythrin's sand-wrapped body according to the agreement and dragged him out.
After all, the human Heaven Rank powerhouses weren't very friendly with the Beastman Heaven Rank powerhouses. Just like the hatred between the City in the Sky and the Blood Bone Beastmen was deeper than the hatred between the other forces.
They might be cooperating now, but if there was an opportunity, and if it was an undiscovered opportunity, they would unhesitantly get rid of their enemies.
Lin Yun pushed the sand-wrapped Slythrin to the side. After thinking for a bit, he gathered the bodies of the other humans within the Fog of Rebirth. As for the Beastmen, he also kicked the separated bodies together.
After all, this was a crucial time for the Raging Flame Plane. Others might not know, but Lin Yun clearly knew that the Raging Flame Plane's power had been cleanly devoured by the Ancient God, ultimately leading to the Raging Flame Plane's complete destruction.
According to history, there would definitely be Heaven Rank powerhouses arriving here, but there definitely wouldn't be so many Heaven Rank powerhouses.
Those Heaven Rank powerhouses might have already been wiped out before reaching the depths of the Holy Mountain. After all, those Demon Overlords and the Fog of Rebirth weren't something a few Heaven Rank powerhouses could handle. If there had only been ten Heaven Rank powerhouses, they would have already died.
As time passed, the human and Beastman Heaven Rank powerhouses slowly awakened. But after three days, there were still six Heaven Rank powerhouses in the Fog of Rebirth that hadn't woken up.
On the human side, apart from Birbo and Dubois, there was also a newly advanced Heaven Rank powerhouse. On the Beastman side, the Bronze Beastman Steer, the Black Iron Beastman, and the Blood Fang Beastman each had a Heaven Rank powerhouse that hadn't woken up.
The ones who didn't wake up were Dubois and Birbo's auras of life continuously falling, and their mana was already collapsing. Everyone glanced at them and understood that it was because their souls had already been destroyed. Even with the protection of the Fog of Rebirth, the remnants of their bodies wouldn't be able to support themselves.
As for the remaining people, their bodies didn't have the slightest spiritual fluctuation. Their automatic defenses had also dissipated and their aura of life was rapidly fading.
This was because their bodies had already died when they reincarnated in the Abyss and their souls had fallen into the endless Abyss, continuously sinking. Unless they met a kind-hearted Greater Demon Overlord that personally rescued their sinking souls and sent them back.
But everyone knew that if a Beastman or human Heaven Rank's soul fell into the Abyss, those greedy and cruel Demons would be considered the most benevolent Demons in the Abyss if they didn't immediately devour their souls. As for the rest … What a joke.
The power of the six people's bodies kept dissipating. Once their power thoroughly dissipated, their bodies would thoroughly turn to ashes and disappear forever.
"The Abyss is truly dangerous. I hadn't expected so many people to fall in the endless Abyss. Fortunately, my luck was good and I reincarnated in the underground world. There was only a slumbering Black Dragon Overlord there …
"These unlucky guys might have died not long after reincarnating. Their luck was really bad and their souls were destroyed. But having their souls destroyed is a bit better than sinking into the endless Abyss. If their souls met a Demon Overlord, especially a disgusting Abyssal Devil King, they wouldn't be able to die even if they wanted to.
"They would definitely be devoured and suffer a thousand years of pain before dying …"
Morgan sighed with lingering fear, and there was still a trace of lingering fear on his face.
The others also had unsightly expressions. Clombton's expression was the most unsightly. As a holy light mage, falling into the Abyss was no different from a holy light angel falling into the Abyss, even if it was only his soul that fell into the Abyss.
This was also going against the teachings of holy light mages. He had no choice but to cultivate the power of shadows. In the eyes of holy light mages, this was depravity.
"Sir Clombton, there is no need to take it to heart. The radiance of holy light will always shine upon you. Moreover, this is only the plot of that Ancient God.
"Your body in the Abyss has already turned to ashes, but your soul hasn't suffered any contamination, nor has it depraved …"
Butler comforted Clombton on the side. Among the Law of Light, only holy light mages had the strictest and most extreme requirements for themselves.
Many ordinary light mages felt that the power of shadows was only the other side of the light and that it wasn't a big deal.
With Butler's consolation, although Clombton's expression was still bad, it was a lot better than before. He had no choice but to accept this outcome.
"Eh? I feel that my power has become a lot stronger. It might not take long before I advance to the 2nd Rank of the Heaven realm!"
After comforting Clombton, Butler seemed to have suddenly discovered something and exclaimed in amazement.
When the others heard this, they immediately sensed the power of their bodies and discovered that they had become a bit stronger.
"It's indeed like this, I also feel that my power has become a bit stronger. My mana hasn't grown too much, but my comprehension of laws has greatly improved. My strength is a lot stronger than before …"
"Not bad, my law comprehension that had stagnated for a dozen years has also increased a bit. My strength has increased by at least 10% …"
"I have already reached the peak of the 1st Rank of the Heaven realm. I might advance to the 2nd Rank in a few years!"
Lin Yun didn't say anything. He also felt that his comprehension of laws had increased a lot, but it wasn't as much as these people.
Because these people were Heaven Rank powerhouses to begin with and advanced to the Heaven Rank in the Abyss, they had some accumulation in their comprehension of laws.
But Lin Yun didn't come back after advancing to the Heaven Rank. Although he had some accumulation in the Abyss, it wasn't as much as the others.
And Lin Yun had an even bigger benefit that these people didn't have. In the endless Abyss, he kept fighting and slaughtering, but not only did his soul not get polluted, he even used his demonic body to vent the impurities and negative power within his soul through fighting and slaughtering.
The benefits of advancing to the Heaven Rank couldn't be explained in words. Because even during Noscent's peak, the mages didn't use a formula to show this benefit.
But this concept was a fact. When advancing to the Heaven Rank, the purer the soul, the greater the benefits. Moreover, the benefits couldn't be seen. The higher the rank, the greater the influence. It was because it was said that at the peak of the Heaven Rank, when one wanted to take another step forward, the soul was the main factor.
Not to mention that Lin Yun hadn't destroyed the Flame Demon Monarch's body in the Abyss, and he had even built a sacrificial altar.
In the future, the specialties produced in his territory could be sent to the altar in Lin Yun's Demiplane through the sacrificial altar.
The Eternal Dark Gold produced by the Eternal Dark Gold vein was enough to strengthen the entire Natural Demiplane. Moreover, taking advantage of the Natural Demiplane's growth, the Eternal Dark Gold could be thoroughly integrated into the Natural Demiplane as it grew.
At that time, he wouldn't be able to find the Eternal Dark Gold. Instead, the Eternal Dark Gold's defensive abilities would be integrated into the Natural Demiplane.
From then on, the Natural Demiplane wouldn't be affected by Spacetime Storms, Void Storms, Elemental Storms, and other external disturbances.
Moreover, there was a steady flow of precious resources from the Abyss, and many of them were specialties of the Abyss. These things were low-grade materials like Magic Iron in the depths of the Abyss, but they could be exchanged for a large amount of other precious materials in Noscent.
This profit wasn't just a few times or a few dozen times, it was at least a few hundred times. It was even greater than the profits from potioneering.
Lin Yun didn't care about those people and calmly watched from the side.
Their experience in the Abyss had benefited many people. After all, after reaching the Heaven Rank, progress wasn't a problem of mana. Although the accumulation of mana was quite troublesome, as long as they had enough time, they would be able to accumulate enough mana to keep increasing their mana.
But the comprehension of Laws wasn't something that could be comprehended after a long time. The veteran Heaven Rank powerhouses here were all stuck in the comprehension of Laws.
Especially Clombton, who was stuck at the peak of the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm. The comprehension of Laws was even more important. He might advance to the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm at any time, but if he couldn't comprehend Laws, he would never be able to advance to the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm.
The bottleneck between the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm and the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm wasn't that easy to cross.
The increase in power seemed to let everyone struggle free from the painful experience in the Abyss.
But suddenly, the bodies of Birbo and the others seemed to have gone through thousands of years of decay. A cool breeze blew past and all of them turned into ashes and dissipated.
Three human Heaven Rank powerhouses and three Beastman Heaven Rank powerhouses turned to ashes and dissipated.
In an instant, no one said anything. They had previously experienced the Holy Mountain Incarnation and faced twenty Demon Overlords and tens of thousands of abyssal armies.
Not a single Heaven Rank powerhouse had fallen, but now, they had only entered the Fog of Rebirth. That Ancient God hadn't made a move, nor had there been any Demon Overlords, yet six Heaven Rank powerhouses had fallen!
Morgan looked at Birbo's dissipating corpse and sneered.
"This kind of stinky sewer rat only knows how to assassinate. I reckon that after entering the Abyss, he only thought about how to use the smallest amount of power to assassinate his opponent.
"He deserved to die there, stupid and filthy guy, he deserved to be killed by the Demons of the Abyss!"
No one said anything. The Shadow Tower's reputation wasn't good to begin with, it was just that they didn't provoke a powerhouse they couldn't resist. The major forces didn't feel like paying attention to the Shadow Tower.
These guys' ability to survive and escape was very formidable. They were besieged twice, but they weren't completely exterminated. Later on, some people paid attention to them. But the Shadow Tower's mages died. Some people would gloat over their misfortune, but no one would stand up for them.
The Abyss was full of chaos and war. Even the souls of Heaven Rank powerhouses had to start as weak Demons after entering the Abyss.
At that time, it was very normal for them to meet a slightly more powerful Demon and get killed. It was normal for the souls of Heaven Rank powerhouses to die without the power of the Heaven Rank.
No one felt that the deaths of these guys were abnormal, they were just unlucky. Or it could be said that no one was willing to look into what happened in the Abyss.
Everyone knew that some of these guys had definitely been killed by their own people, but who cared? In any case, they were already dead, and in the Abyss.
Morgan sneered and glanced at Slythrin with a strange expression.
'Birbo and that Bronze Beastman Steer, right? They seemed to have tried to plot against Lord Merlin before, but unfortunately failed and they both died in the Abyss.
'It wouldn't be related to Lord Merlin, right?
'And that guy called Dubois, I heard that he almost got rid of Lord Merlin and had his fort occupied by Lord Merlin, losing face. I heard that he said that he would make Lord Merlin pay the price.
'That guy also died in the Abyss … Could it be that Lord Merlin killed him?
'But why didn't that idiot Slythrin die? I heard that he wanted to avenge his nephew and bury all the idiots that offended the Quicksand Tower in the endless desert.
'Just now, Lord Merlin seemed to be the fastest to wake up. Our bodies should have been gathered together by Lord Merlin, and Slythrin's body was among them.
'But he didn't get rid of Slythrin, could it be that I was wrong?
'The death of that stinky sewer rat has nothing to do with Sir Merlin. Also, did that Thunder Mage and that Bronze Beastman accidentally die in the Abyss?
