Chapter 575: Ambition to Conquer the Abyss, Will of the Abyss (575K Chapter)

The 589th layer of the abyss is called the "Scorching Earth" by other abyss residents.

The order of the 666 layers of the abyss is arranged by scholars from the main material world, and the ranking is also arranged in the order of discovery.

The abyss is not a pyramid-type world. It is not the kind that has the first, second, and third layers arranged in order from top to bottom.

Lifeforms born in the abyss generally use simple and direct names to describe the level they are in, such as the Howling Abyss, the Burning Earth, the Misty Plains, etc.

Only high-level demons and demon lords, powerful demons who have dealt with the main material world many times, will remember numbers like house numbers for the convenience of communication.

The abyss is like an apple with a surface full of wormholes. One of the holes is an abyss layer, and below it there is one or more passages connecting to another wormhole.

The 123rd layer of the Abyss may be adjacent to the 555th layer of the Abyss, and above it may be the 321st layer of the Abyss.

In the abyss, new levels are born every moment, and some levels are destroyed at the same time. Nothing here is fixed.

In other words, the abyss represents chaos, the unknown and change.

The more fixed level in the abyss is the 666 level recorded by scholars in the main material world.

There wasn't much for Mo Hao to worry about during the coronation ceremony.

In addition to declaring himself the Demon Lord of the 589th floor, Mo Hao believed that this ceremony was more about conferring titles on his demons.

Let your own demon dynasty take the first step.

To be honest, even Mo Hao himself had no confidence in how long he could maintain the Demon Dynasty, and this idea might even fail halfway.

But it doesn’t matter, he persuaded himself in his heart, if he failed, it would only be the devil who died.

Demons are all chaotic evil beings, but there are also many who are smart. Mo Hao has no psychological pressure at all when commanding them.

At the same time, the palace in Markas was expanded several times, and the city of Markas was also expanded several times.

The palace was originally built according to the human body shape, but after the expansion, people can't help but suspect that it was a palace for giants, and it was a palace where Titans lived.

During this period, demons from other levels of the abyss continued to arrive. Some were plane merchants, some were demons trying to join Mo Hao, and some came as messengers of the demon lord to watch the ceremony.

The appearance of the Demon Lord is a big deal even in the abyss. The demon lords in the surrounding levels have to send out their trusted subordinates to take a good look at what kind of guy this new Demon Lord is.

Moreover, even the demon lords have different attitudes towards Mo Hao.

Some wanted to form an alliance with Mo Hao, some wanted Mo Hao to submit to them, and some gave Mo Hao a batch of gifts as a meeting gift.

However, Mo Hao noticed that the treasures that were sent to him were smeared with an imperceptible mixture of toxins. When they were mixed together, the toxins would even merge into a curse.

The abyss has never been a peaceful place, and attacks between demon lords are common.

The front hall was already filled with many demons. There were so many demons and their types were so diverse that even the empty and huge palace seemed crowded.

When Mo Hao's figure appeared in front of the demons, the demons shouted loudly, shouting Mo Hao's name.

The chaotic voices gradually became unified, and finally the sound echoing in the palace became a title.

"Black Sun Tyrant!"

"Black Sun Tyrant!!"

"Black Sun Tyrant!!!"

Black Sun Tyrant, that is the respectful name given to Mo Hao by the demons. Even though they know Mo Hao's name, the demons still dare not call him by his name directly, and can only use some metaphors or titles to refer to Mo Hao.

The Black Sun Tyrant was the name given to Mo Hao by his subordinates and opponents when he conquered the scorching earth.

The tyrant naturally slaughtered demons wantonly, killing almost all of them, whether they were his subordinates or enemies.

Even the number of demons who died at his hands because of rebellion far exceeded those who died on the battlefield.

And Mo Hao's practice of building Jingguan after the massacre made the demons say things like "The wailing sounds of souls during the tyrant's massacre were so loud that even the three suns on the scorching earth were swallowed up by the darkness."

The slaughter was so extensive that it obscured the three suns in the sky. The ruler of the scorching earth in the 589th layer of the abyss, the Black Sun Tyrant.

In the context of the devil, the title "tyrant" does not have any derogatory meaning at all, just like when the devil says you should go to heaven it is definitely not a compliment.

Sitting on the throne, Mo Hao stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the demons immediately stopped all sounds. The entire palace suddenly went from being filled with roaring sounds to being completely silent.

"let's start."

Following Mo Hao's words, the demon ceremonial officer at the side first stood up and bowed respectfully to Mo Hao, then took out a roll of parchment facing the demons, "Iron Knight Croft... step forward!"

When hearing the call, a demon walked forward respectfully and first knelt down and kowtowed towards Mo Hao's position.

Mo Hao nodded in approval, and then the waiter beside him slowly stepped forward and handed the Iron Cavalry Demon a document. The specific content of this magic document was to grant a certain place in the Scorching Plains to the Iron Cavalry Demon as a territory.

Mo Hao ejected a force, forming his signature and personal mark on the document, "Sign it, from today on you are the master of Blackstone Castle, Baron Blackstone."

The Iron Knight Demon did not sign his name with a pen. Instead, a drop of blood seeped from his fingertips and dripped onto the document, naturally forming a unique mark.

Kneeling again, the Iron Knight Demon retreated respectfully and returned to his seat.

With a good start, the following things went much more smoothly. Perhaps it was because this ceremony was related to the territories of many demons, or perhaps it was simply because of Mo Hao's monstrous killing record that none of the demons dared to cause trouble at this time.

One after another, the demons who had made contributions in the war were canonized, just like the nobles in human countries were canonized.

Mo Hao's standard for enfeoffment is very simple. In fact, he directly brought over the Qin State's system of conferring titles based on military merit. This is the only suitable system that can adapt to the devil's system.

Other systems have basically no chance of working for a demon with a chaotic nature.

Demons were given titles one after another. Those who were given a city or a place were called barons, while those who controlled a large territory were called viscounts, but the highest title given so far was viscount.

This made the demons a little confused. According to their guess, there should be several dukes present at this enthronement ceremony.

The demons in the audience started whispering to each other at some point. They were guessing and then told the guys next to them about their guesses.

"You guys seem weird."

Mo Hao, sitting high on the throne, looked down at the demons and said, "What's so strange about that? The territory you occupy is only worthy of being a baron or viscount, not even worthy of being an earl."

Ignoring the demons below, Mo Hao directly stated his own standards, "In my dynasty, only those who rule one layer of the abyss and possess a hundred demons can be considered an earl." "Ruling ten layers of the abyss and possessing a thousand demons can be conferred the title of marquis."

"Only those who rule over a hundred layers of the abyss and control all the demons can be called a duke!"

"The Scorching Earth is just a starting point, a tiny starting point. Soon, I will conquer more abysses, one after another, and the entire abyss will be under my rule."

"At that time, the so-called Demon Lords will also pledge allegiance to me, kneel down, and become my dogs!"

"And if you perform great deeds, you will also be able to control a layer of the abyss."

As he said this, Mo Hao stretched out his hand as if he was grasping something in the void.

This time, Mo Hao's voice resounded throughout the scorching earth, "The entire abyss will kneel down and be my dog!"

The extremely straightforward words revealed Mo Hao's ambition. He wanted to conquer, he wanted to rule, and all the demons and lords in the entire abyss had to kneel before him and serve him like a dog.

Although the demon lords all have similar ambitions, they will never speak them out in public, because there is only one outcome for doing so.

That is to become the public enemy of the entire abyss. All demon lords will not allow an emperor who is superior to them to appear above their heads.

At this moment, a huge and powerful will descended, and when it appeared, all the demons could sense it.

Just like a fish's natural instinct to swim, when this huge will appeared, the devil immediately recognized it as the will of the abyss.

That huge will exuded a mood that was almost joyful. When Mo Hao appeared in the abyss, this outsider attracted the attention of the will of the abyss.

Because at that time, he carried the aura of another world, similar to the abyss.

But later, the will of the abyss was purely attracted by Mo Hao.

His massacre made the Abyss Will happy, his efficient expansion made the Abyss Will approve, and Mo Hao's power made the Abyss Will extremely satisfied.

And when Mo Hao declared that he would conquer the abyss and rule all demons, the will of the abyss could no longer hold back, and descended upon this scorching earth to bless Mo Hao.

At the moment when the immense power of the Will of the Abyss descended, the whole world seemed to have stopped. Be it the demons or other creatures, all actions were stopped at this moment, and all colors were lost.

The grayish-white chaotic color became the absolute color at this moment.

Everything in the world stopped.

"Okay, great!"

A burst of applause suddenly exploded in Mo Hao's ears, like the fanatical shouts of the audience in the Colosseum, or like a war cry during a war.

"Conquer them, and I will crown you myself."

The Will of the Abyss only left two sentences, and then they came and went quickly, and the world began to move.

At the same time, a ray of light descended from the sky. It was not the pure white holy light, nor was it the light of any other color, but a chaotic light that was mixed together and it was impossible to tell what color it was.

This ray of light fell from the sky, trying to land on Mo Hao and merge into his body.

But soon the light discovered that Mo Hao's body was like a solid wall, blocking it outside and preventing it from advancing an inch.

After time started to move, many demons stared at the light with their eyes wide open and were speechless.

They clearly sensed that the chaotic light was a blessing from the abyss, a crown bestowed upon the demon lord who emerged from the scorching earth.

Any life, no matter whether it is a demon or not, once it receives that ray of chaotic light, it will immediately become a demon lord.

The blessing of the abyss is an all-round improvement. Even the weakest coward can become a real demon lord with this blessing.

But Mo Hao not only did not accept the blessing that was desired by countless demons, he even crumpled it into a ball in his hand.

Naturally, he would not accept the blessing of the abyss, especially during the contact just now, when he discovered that the abyss had a certain self-awareness.

If you accept this blessing, you will be completely bound to the abyss.

There are many advantages to being bound to the abyss, but there are also many disadvantages, and Mo Hao himself does not want to be deeply bound to the abyss.

That's not the best path for you.

Under the guidance of Monk Putao, although I cannot become a cadre of the Heavenly or Buddha level like my senior brother, at least I should not fall to the point of hanging out in a cesspool and signing a contract to sell myself.

Mo Hao is very motivated to conquer the abyss and make all the demons kneel down before him.

But if he had to have an unclear relationship with the will of the abyss, or even have to sign a contract to sell himself, he would not be interested at all.

Crushing the Blessing of the Abyss into a ball, Mo Hao casually glanced at the demons below, and saw greed and desire in their eyes.

He smiled and raised the Blessing of the Abyss in his hand, "You want this?"

Before the demons could answer, the chaotic light ball was directly inserted into the ground by a sword and fixed in front of Mo Hao's throne.

"In three days, we will set out to attack another layer of the abyss. The one who performs best will receive the blessing of the abyss!"

He doesn't want the Blessing of the Abyss, but he can use it to motivate his subordinates.

This blessing from the abyss is trash to him, and the life of a demon is not a precious thing to him either. It just so happens that the two pieces of trash complement each other.

After hearing what Mo Hao said, the demons could no longer contain their excitement and roared towards the sky.

That is the blessing of the abyss, and also the position of the demon lord.

It can be said that these two things alone are the ultimate pursuit of more than 90% of demons in their lifetime.

……

Within an hour, the will of the Abyss appeared at the coronation ceremony of the Black Sun Tyrant. The Black Sun Tyrant revealed his ambition to conquer the Abyss, and all the things at the coronation ceremony were sent to the various Abyss forces.

Two hours later, Heaven Mountain and other Order camps received the news simultaneously.

Three hours later, neutral forces such as the Elemental Plane and the Mechanical Realm also received relevant news.

In an instant, the whole world was like a turbulent undercurrent on the seabed.
