Chapter 68 Shadows of the abyss

The eyes looking at Void slowly receded. The two giant green eyes that had surveyed this world were gone, and the dark sky was replaced by its normal self."Demons... Primordial demons..." the being with the giant green eyes muttered in fear. The SEIDES had encountered a primordial demon in a universe before, which left them with many bad memories.

In fact, he was not the only Rank 3 SEIDES. There were many others, including a Rank 4 being. This primordial demon had been weak, but it did something—something that instilled fear of demons in them to this day. It opened a portal to the Abyss, releasing multiple demons as strong as they were, with a few even stronger.

They were killed mercilessly until a Rank 4 SEIDES realized they could not survive like this. He protected him and took some lower-ranked SEIDES with him, sending them across the fifth layer of space. He would never forget what he witnessed in the fifth layer. Unlike the third and fourth layers, which were inhabited by creatures from the Void race, this space was quiet at first.

But a few minutes in, it became unsettling, with forces invading his mind. If not for the law power of the Rank 4 being protecting him, he would have gone insane.

Not to mention the danger of touching it; he knew he would be killed if exposed to the fifth layer of space.

He encountered no creatures until the end, where he saw something terrifying: an eye so large that even a high-level multiverse seemed small in comparison.

But size wasn't the scariest aspect; it certainly wasn't the aura, either. This being must have been dead for a long time, as it radiated no presence.

Had it been alive, he would have died then and there. The most frightening realization came after passing this place: for billions of years, he glimpsed the rough outline of the body and understood something horrifying.

This being, with just one of its eyes larger than a multiverse, was dead—no breath of life...

"I... I created a planet?" Void exclaimed in shock. Upon closer inspection, this planet was different from any other; it was crafted from one half-law. It was a world of immense heat, with magma everywhere.

The planet was about 15 meters in size, and of course, there were no creatures. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Void discovered new things the more he observed. Finally, he closed his palm, destroying the planet he had just created.

He turned to the side and called out, "Both of you, come out!"

Earlier...

Linkir and the Sword Demon looked back in shock. They could sense a terrifying aura nearby, one that felt like a higher-level being—a presence not of this world. They felt their world, as vast as a universe, trembling.

In shock and fear, the Sword Demon's gourd fell, and the small dragon lay on the ground with a terrified expression.

"Is... is that ...., Linkir...Can you sense this too?" the Sword Demon asked, his body trembling.

"Yeah... I can... This... this is our master," Linkir said, swallowing hard.

Then, just as suddenly as it appeared, the aura vanished, leaving them scared. Their first thought was that their master was coming, but he didn't.

"So, what happened?" the Sword Demon struggled to ask, carrying his small dragon in his palm.

Linkir, already 80 meters tall, stood alongside the Sword Demon, who stood at 120 meters.

They were both giant monsters.

"I don't know... But I think we should find him before he finds us," Linkir said, sensing a connection with her master as she began to fly rapidly toward it.

"Wait... what? Why?" the Sword Demon asked, catching up in an instant.

"Remember the last slave? Do you want to end up like her?" Linkir replied, turning around. She felt her master in another location and hurried toward it, with the Sword Demon by her side.

As servants to Void, they could roughly feel his location if he allowed them. It was a two-way connection; Void could sense them, but he could also turn it off, leaving them unable to find him.

"I will meet him again... Even with this strength, I still feel weak," the Sword Demon thought, recalling his battle with Void.

Now, with the aura he sensed, he clearly knew that even at his quasi-peak level Rank 2 state, he was nothing but an ant compared to his master.

Thousands of kilometers away, Linkir and the Sword Demon stopped as they saw Void's massive form.

His infinite sign, horns, four wings, and tail—all were larger and more chaotic, yet there was a strange sense of beauty to them.

Slowly, they saw Void stretching out his palm, fire swirling around it. In shock, they watched as he created a planet.

"Wait... wait... did he just... What is that?" the Sword Demon asked, astonished. After all, he had been in a high-level world as vast as a universe, and it had been a cohesive world, not made up of middle-level worlds the size of galaxies or low-level worlds the size of planets.

But Linkir had heard it before. "That... that is a planet," she recalled Void saying it previously.

Just as they were about to continue talking, a voice echoed in their minds.

"Come out, servants."

At Rank 1, one could speak, and it would be heard directly in the ear of the person being addressed, regardless of distance. This was especially useful in space, where distances could be light-years apart.

But the voice felt like a direct command in their heads. They gulped nervously as they flew toward him.

Void looked at them with a smile.

Both had grown stronger, with the Sword Demon back at his previous quasi-peak level and Linkir now at high-level Rank 2. It was quite interesting.

"You guys have grown stronger," Void said with a chuckle as both the Sword Demon and Linkir looked down, avoiding his gaze. Void ignored the dragon; after all, he wasn't against his slaves having pets.

"Well, let me guess: when you broke through, both of you thought you were strong enough to defeat me together?" Void asked, his smile widening as they exchanged nervous glances.

"How naive," he said, stretching out his hand. Both Linkir and the Sword Demon suddenly appeared in his palm, his giant hand enveloping their heads and lifting them up.

Looking at their small forms compared to his 700-meter tall body made Void grin.

"The reason I left you both is simple. As my slaves, you might not realize it, but no matter how hard you work, you can never be stronger than me," Void said, pausing with a smile.

"As my slaves transformed into Aeron, you will never be stronger than the demon who transformed you. If I'm at high-level Rank 2, you won't surpass middle-level Rank 2, no matter how many souls you consume. A portion of the souls you devour comes to me," Void laughed out loud.

"And when I'm stuck, all those souls you consume will be mine as well.

"And as for that... boy, Shen Ye, is it?" Void turned his head slightly as Linkir and the Sword Demon looked on in shock.

"He is a toy and can never be stronger than me," Void said, still smiling.
