Three days later, at Black Jade City.
Looking at the enormous buildings over a hundred meters tall, bustling crowds of people, and all kinds of abyssal creatures of all shapes and sizes, Han Shuo had to admit that War Demon Valley was indeed just a small valley compared to Black Jade City where Manticole resided.
At a glance, tall buildings that pierced through the clouds were everywhere. Among them, buildings that were over five or six hundred meters tall could be seen everywhere. Han Shuo had seen dozens of abyssal creatures that were even larger than the Primordius Dragons along the way.
In this place, anyone would feel a sense of insignificance and powerlessness. Hemanna and Sylph didn't need to say much. Even Jasper, who had a rather high status in War Demon Valley, appeared somewhat reserved upon arriving at Black Jade City. Her expression was filled with reverence.
Compared to Black Jade City, War Demon Valley could only be considered a small mountain village. When Jasper arrived at Black Jade City, she behaved like a country bumpkin on Earth. She was obviously restrained and uncomfortable, deeply afraid that her actions would negatively affect Han Shuo. However, amidst the reverence, the three girls also had faint traces of excitement on their faces.
Black Jade City, one of the five capital cities of the Abyss realm, was home to Demon King Manticole, an overlord of the Abyss realm. In the Abyss realm, Black Jade City was definitely an extremely flourishing city. For Jasper, Hemanna, and Hemanna, to arrive at such a place filled their hearts with reverence and anticipation.
"So this is Black Jade City. Hehe, Mister Han Shuo, what do you think of Black Jade City?" Bord had been extremely cordial with Han Shuo along the way. After bringing Han Shuo into Black Jade City, he immediately asked Han Shuo with a smile.
"Big, everything is big!" That was the feeling that all the buildings gave Han Shuo when he looked around. Perhaps it was because some of the abyssal creatures in the Abyss realm were relatively large in size, but the buildings here were all taller and rougher than the last. If it weren't for the abyssal creatures walking around, Han Shuo would have thought that he was in the middle of a rolling mountain range. The buildings weren't much shorter than some hills.
"Black Jade City is just that magnificent. Look, that Demon King's Palace over a thousand meters tall is where Lord Manticole resides. Hehe, we of the Abyss realm prefer crude and simple buildings. Therefore, the taller and more spacious a building is, the more it can highlight the identity of the owner, "Bord explained with a smile.
Raising his head and gazing ahead, he discovered that the Demon King's Palace was indeed the tallest building in Black Jade Demon King City. The majestic and majestic Demon King's Palace was built like a malevolent demon god that stood proudly in the world. From afar, the aura it exuded was extremely sharp, causing people to feel an indescribable sense of reverence and pressure.
"Oh!" Han Shuo let out a soft cry. His brows were deeply creased. This magnificent Demon King's Palace naturally had a kind of fierce and imposing manner. Clouds of incomparably dense black smoke lingered around the Demon King's Palace that pierced straight into the clouds. Those black smoke were condensed from the element of darkness and contained defensive power.
With just a single glance, Han Shuo was certain that this Demon King's Palace wasn't as simple as it seemed. The energy it contained must have defensive and offensive capabilities. Those clouds of smoke, as black as ink, were all condensed from the element of darkness. Just from the appearance of the Demon King's Palace, Han Shuo was certain that Demon King Manticole cultivated in the element of darkness, one of the eight elements.
"Every time I look at the Demon King's Palace, I feel reverence in my heart. That kind of pressure is natural. Truly miraculous!" Zinia muttered in a low voice as she raised her head to look at the Demon King's Palace.
The corners of Han Shuo's mouth curled into an almost imperceptible smirk. He thought to himself, This Demon King's Palace has been tampered with with by Demon King Manticole's divine energy. Anyone whose strength had not reached a certain realm would not be able to sense the effects of that mysterious energy surrounding the Demon King's Palace. As the spiritual leader they believed in, Manticole must have used this method to make them willingly hand over the power of faith.
"Han Shuo, this place is truly magnificent!" Hemanna exclaimed in admiration.
"Not bad, we have finally been to the Demon King City. Hehe, it truly lives up to its reputation!" Sylph agreed.
In the Abyss realm, the citizens of a certain region were not allowed to easily leave their area and reside in another city without special reasons. Especially, moving from a low-level city to a major city was something that could not be permitted. Therefore, for Hemanna, Sylph, and Jasper, the young lady of War Demon Valley, this was their first time visiting Black Jade City. It was only natural for them to be pleasantly surprised and excited.
"Alright, Mister Han Shuo, the two of us will first go to the Demon King's Palace to have an audience with His Lordship. You can take a stroll in the vicinity for the time being. Once His Lordship has any instructions, we will immediately come and bring you to him! "Bord explained to Han Shuo smilingly.
"Alright, you two go ahead." Bord and Zinia tried their best to curry favor with Han Shuo along the way. Han Shuo had quite a favorable impression of the two. In addition, this Black Jade City was indeed very majestic. Han Shuo was also rather interested in exploring this place. Therefore, he immediately agreed to the two's proposal.
Just as the two were about to leave, Hemanna suddenly recalled something and hastily said, "Black Jade City is so vast. What if you can't find us?"
Hearing these words, Zinia giggled and said confidently, "Don't worry, little sister. It's too easy for us Black Jade Guards to find anyone in Black Jade Devil King City. What's more, all of you are new faces! "
The Black Jade Guards under Manticole's command were similar to Golander's trump card, the Shadow Warriors. They were all Demons who answered directly to Manticole and wielded enormous power. Although the Black Jade Guards weren't large in number, every single one of them had many subordinates under their command. In Black Jade City, the Black Jade Guards were responsible for the safety of the entire city. Nothing could escape their eyes and ears.
"So that's how it is," Hemanna did not say anything after hearing Zinia's explanation. Her expression was tinged with fear. They had long heard of the Black Jade Guards. Just like the Shadow Warriors, they were an extremely frightening organization. In the hearts of some citizens of Black Jade Guards, the cruelty of the Black Jade Guards wasn't inferior to that of the Shadow Warriors.
"Alright, Mister Han Shuo, you two should familiarize yourselves with Black Jade City. We must have an audience with His Lordship as soon as possible." Bord bade farewell to Han Shuo and left with Zinia. They headed straight for the Demon King's Palace that was shrouded in divine energy.
"Come on, let's take a stroll around this Black Jade City." After Bord and Zinia left, Han Shuo brought the three ladies and began to stroll around the incomparably spacious streets.
Black Jade City was enormous, much larger than Han Shuo had imagined! Han Shuo unfolded his consciousness and discovered that this Black Jade City was at least ten times larger than Lancelot Empire's Ossen City on the Profound Continent. There were all kinds of rare and exotic objects that Han Shuo had never seen before scattered all over the city. Many otherworldly creatures were walking around Black Jade City. Some had bodies that resembled rocks, while others had bodies that resembled trees. It was extremely bizarre.
Jasper and the other two ladies were also very curious and chattered incessantly along the way. Hemanna and Sylph had positioned themselves as slaves from the very beginning. Therefore, after Jasper became Han Shuo's woman, they didn't find it strange at all. On the contrary, they got along very well with Jasper.
Of the four, Han Shuo knew nothing about Black Jade City. It was also the first time the three ladies had come to Black Jade City. Therefore, they appeared very curious and would stay behind to investigate any strange creatures they saw. Exclamations of astonishment could be heard coming from their mouths.
"Bastard, how dare you roam the streets instead of staying in your cave? You're courting death!" Suddenly, a gloomy voice sounded beside Han Shuo's ears.
Han Shuo turned to the source of the voice and discovered that five or six alien youths had cornered a skinny and small youth, approximately fifteen or sixteen years old, into a corner. They were wantonly hurling verbal insults at the youth while beating him up with punches and kicks.
The youth had a stupefied look on his face. He curled up his body and covered his head, silently allowing the youths to beat him. The heavy sounds of the kicks pounded on his body, but he calmly endured them. Only, the hatred in his eyes was bone-chilling.
It could be seen that this young man had an unforgettable hatred for those young men from the foreign races. However, because he didn't have much strength, he could only allow them to attack him without putting up any resistance, firmly protecting his head to prevent himself from being crippled.
In any material plane, such scenes of the strong bullying the weak were unavoidable. Han Shuo wasn't the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business. Moreover, this was the Abyss realm, where only the fittest survived. Everyone should adapt.
Gradually, the youth with resentful and stubborn eyes seemed to be unable to withstand the repeated blows. He could no longer protect his head with his hands. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before the youth was beaten to death.
Just as Han Shuo was about to leave with the three ladies, he suddenly noticed that the youngster's body had suddenly turned as red as blood. It was as though the blood in his body was about to seep out from his pores. Han Shuo couldn't help but reveal a rather astonished expression. Suddenly, Han Shuo seemed to have recalled something. His consciousness moved and circled around the youngster's body. Han Shuo's brows suddenly twitched as he blurted out, "Body of Sanguis!"
"What?" Jasper stared blankly at Han Shuo, puzzled.
Without answering, Han Shuo's body flashed, instantly piercing through layers of human silhouettes, and abruptly landed beside the curled up youth. He reached out with his big hand and lifted the skinny youth up. Looking at the dying youth whose eyes were brimming with stubbornness and resentment, Han Shuo asked in a deep voice, "Child, do you want power?"
