In the Abyss, Bai Yan once again received a plea for help from Soron.
Ever since Bai Yan had reassigned Qin Jiuluo from the Abyss to carry out the plan of sweeping through the Endless Star Sea, the progress on the Abyss side had slowed considerably.
Originally, in the Human World, it would take one or two days to advance a layer, but now, after a full three days, the demon warriors are still lingering on the ninety-ninth layer of the Abyss.
It's not that Soron isn't diligent, but the enemies are simply too strong.
The entire ninety-ninth layer of the Abyss is enormously vast, even comparable to Bai Yan's first layer of the Abyss, and here each demon's prowess is in the Saint Realm; although not at the peak like the demon warriors, they're not weak either.
Moreover, the Demon Lord here possesses a special lord talent; as long as he's present in the battle, his side's soldiers' power imdiately elevates by one level, so whenever he's there, his demons can go toe-to-toe with the demon warriors.
Soron, who is in charge of the Abyss battle line, has no way of dealing with this Demon Lord, because not only is he incredibly skilled as a Demon Lord, his personal martial strength far exceeds all the Abyssal Demon Lords currently present.
Even those Demon Lords who caused Soron extre distress in the past were no match for this Demon Lord.
Hence, Soron pleaded for reinforcents.
Receiving Soron's plea for help, Bai Yan did not imdiately return to the Abyss but instead cald his mind and imrsed his divine thought into the River of Ti.
"Nothing major is happening in the next few days; it's a good opportunity to visit the Abyss and resolve the issues there."
Bai Yan slightly probed the events in the River of Ti regarding the next few days, noticing that nothing significant would occur, thus he leisurely headed to the Abyss, towards the frontline.
Bai Yan's arrival was extrely impactful; for all the demon warriors, Bai Yan was akin to a shot of adrenaline, and the situation that might have resulted in defeat was imdiately reversed with Bai Yan's arrival as they exerted 200% effort to salvage the situation!
They trust Bai Yan because he has never let them down.
Therefore, they too do not wish to disappoint Bai Yan.
"Warriors! Summon your fighting spirit! I am with you all!"
Bai Yan stood in the void, gazing at the demon warriors below, shouting loudly.
However, in the next mont, a foreign voice entered Bai Yan's ears.
"Are you Bai Yan?"
Just as Bai Yan was about to command the demon warriors to comnce the final battle, this voice appeared sowhat abruptly. However, given Bai Yan's strong divine thought, he swiftly identified the whereabouts of the demon posing this question.
Bai Yan looked toward the rear of the battle line; the person speaking was right at the forefront of the opposing camp, seemingly the Demon Lord of the ninety-ninth layer!
"Indeed, I am Bai Yan. I plan to conquer your territory now; do you have any objections?"
Bai Yan coldly observed the rather ordinary and not particularly imposing Demon Lord, who was only a Fla Demon Tyrant, yet appeared distinctly different from a typical Fla Demon Tyrant.
He lacked the towering presence typical of a fla demon tyrant, nor did he have the blazing flas, and he didn't roar with anger like a fla demon tyrant; he seed very calm.
"I have so objections, but I understand I cannot withstand your forces, so I choose to surrender to you, hoping you will regard my existence seriously. My na is Ben Zema."
Bai Yan was sowhat shocked, or rather puzzled; although the scene seed a bit disadvantageous for the Demon Lord nad Ben Zema due to Bai Yan's arrival, it wasn't a situation where resistance was impossible.
To choose surrender at this mont indicates that Ben Zema likely has a plan in mind.
"What do you... know?"
Bai Yan looked at Ben Zema, who remained calm, as a demon contract began to take shape in his hand.
"Lord Bai Yan, you will ultimately beco the master of the Abyss; anyone standing in the way of your forces will be annihilated."
Ben Zema earnestly mused to himself, igniting more thoughts within Bai Yan's mind.
Why is he so certain about this? Although I also believe I will eventually sweep through the entire Abyss and finally beco the true ruler of the Abyss.
Yet this matter is still replete with uncertainties; why does he have such confidence in ?
Bai Yan's thoughts whirled, but he did not omit accepting Ben Zema's surrender.
"Sign this contract, and I will accept your surrender."
Bai Yan tossed the contract, imbued with demonic aura, in front of Ben Zema, letting it hover in the void.
And Ben Zema, as if foreseeing it, straightforwardly signed his True Na onto the demon contract without a word.
"Ben Zema, Demon Lord of the ninety-ninth Abyss layer, leading thirteen million demons, greets the master."
Ben Zema knelt on one knee, and the vast demon army under his command also knelt simultaneously under his control, respectfully saluting Bai Yan.
Fortunately, it was the demon warriors engaging them; obediently halting upon seeing the demon army, once enemies, surrender instantaneously, even dispersing magic mid-flight to prevent any chance injuries.
"Very good, Soron, go and receive surrender."
Bai Yan's mind was bustling with thoughts, eager to find a place to ponder thoroughly, thus delegation of the surrender acceptance went to Soron, who has been waiting by his side.
Of course, Bai Yan didn't criticize Soron; he was acutely aware of Soron's capabilities and his limits. Facing a powerful Demon Lord such as Ben Zema, his ability to stave off defeat and hold his ground was already comndable.
"Yes, master."
Though Soron knew his master was mighty, witnessing the rival who had been locked in intense combat with him surrender outright on Bai Yan's re appearance was sothing he hadn't seen before.
Were it not known that Bai Yan did not possess such an aura of kingship, he almost thought Bai Yan resembled the protagonist of a Dragon Proud Sky-style novel.
Ben Zema's surrender evidently signifies that the closer one gets to the deepest level of the Abyss, the more secrets the Demon Lords here are aware of.
Bai Yan's thoughts gradually cleared, yet a greater uncertainty brewed in his heart.
The Abyss contains a total of one hundred layers; he has verified this many tis, and that final layer is likely where the forr companion, Satan, resides.
Then, among the remaining layers from the ninety-first to ninety-ninth, will all the Demon Lords be like Ben Zema, yielding after showcasing their prowess?
This question began to bother Bai Yan, leaving him wondering whether he should attempt it.
Unable to settle his thoughts, Bai Yan discarded the question, returning to the altar under the first Abyss layer.
