196: The Purpose of Demon King Sono

The Abyss.

The Fifth Floor.

Su Feng was directly teleported here, without even passing through the previous floors.

Baras quietly echoed, "I wonder what the Abyss's sudden purpose is for inviting us here this time?!"

Mainly because the first ten floors are like forbidden grounds to the entire Abyss; they can only gaze upon them but never had a chance to enter.

Before, it wasn't that no demons wanted to enter, but they couldn't even break through the most basic outer barrier.

And so, the matter was dropped.

Su Feng smiled calmly, "No matter!"

"When soldiers come, use generals to block; when water comes, use earth to cover!"

Su Feng had sufficient confidence in his own strength.

As long as a Deity didn't make a move, he was currently invincible!

A Deity... surely wouldn't appear in this Abyss, right?!

Kabi'e kept sizing up Su Feng along the way, wondering what Demon King Cuoye was thinking?!

They weren't unfamiliar with the Human race; they had investigated and understood them.

Their overall upper limit was generally fixed.

Generally speaking, their combat capabilities were inferior even to ordinary Magical Beasts, let alone comparable to demons like them.

Why would they suddenly invite this Human here?!

One must know that in the past thousand years, only a handful of demons have been able to reach the first ten floors of the Abyss.

And that was only because the Abyss actively chose them.

However, the demon following that Human had unusually abundant demonic energy, and even its appearance had changed slightly.

It seems they must have made a certain breakthrough in some area.

"Everyone, Demon King Cuoye is inside. You may enter now."

After Kabi'e entered the Fifth Floor, he reverted to his bloated demon form. He didn't make things difficult for Su Feng and the others along the way.

Gazing at the unusually simple palace ahead, Su Feng sized it up and then stepped inside.

Although the furnishings were simple, the inscriptions carved upon them were extremely intricate.

The items placed inside were even more luxurious and noble.

As Su Feng entered, he saw a completely different scene.

Lush grass was fragrant, and new branches were verdant.

The sound of a spring was pleasant, and a cool breeze gently swept by.

How could this be the Abyss?!

It was clearly a paradise!

In the distance, a tall and slender figure stood up, looking towards Su Feng, a smile plastered across his face.

"Please sit."

Su Feng wasn't astonished, just a little perplexed.

The demon who received him earlier had transformed into a human appearance, which could be said to be accommodating him.

But this person in front of him now, could he also be... Su Feng sat on the stone stool, where a cup of fragrant tea was placed before him.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Demon King Cuoye, ranked fifth among the Demon Abyss. I am not considered an exceptional talent, but I do possess some abilities."

Demon King Cuoye maintained his calm and composed demeanor, treating Su Feng and the others with great courtesy, as if interacting with fellow Humans.

"Su Feng, Human."

The concise introduction caused Demon King Cuoye to pause slightly.

"Get to the point."

Su Feng spoke directly, not wanting to waste time at all.

He didn't think the other party had gone to such lengths to invite him here just to sample a few sips of clear tea.

Demon King Cuoye smiled, not expecting this young man to be so straightforward.

Not bad!

"Mr. Su, I am very fond of certain aspects of Human culture and refinement, which is why the furnishings here and my own appearance are almost entirely modeled after Humans."

Demon King Cuoye changed the subject, then said, "Previously, the Zhuozhuo Altar on Canghuo Star was leveled. I hope Mr. Su can be merciful in the future."

"To be honest, the Zhuozhuo Altars are followers of our Demon Abyss. They can provide extremely pure energy supplies... I hope Mr. Su can accommodate us."

Demon King Cuoye watched Su Feng calmly, seeing that the young man's expression was as steady as ever, completely devoid of panic.

So that's it!

Is this the real reason they invited me here?!

Su Feng pondered internally.

Demon King Cuoye didn't hide anything and immediately spoke the truth.

He had originally planned to clear out all the remaining Zhuozhuo Altars to see if it would help Baras.

"Of course... as compensation, I will grant Mr. Su the right to freely travel to and from the Demon Abyss, including them."

Demon King Cuoye pointed to Baras and the Yin Liao Soul-Devouring Flood Dragon standing behind him.

Su Feng didn't immediately reply, but instead asked, "The Demon Abyss?"

"Mr. Su may not know, but the first ten floors of the Abyss are collectively called the Demon Abyss. Although they share the same entrance, they are two different worlds."

"Those demons on the lower levels do not yet possess intelligence; they are merely machines of senseless slaughter!"

Demon King Cuoye's words were extremely calm; when discussing this, it was as if he were talking about something completely irrelevant.

Anger surged in Baras's eyes.

It was one thing to talk about those low-level demons!

But could it be that even he, a Demon Commander, couldn't earn the other party's affirmation?!

"I'd like to hear more."

The young man remained the same; before fully understanding the information, he wouldn't rashly agree to anything.

Demon King Cuoye appeared very patient, mainly because the Demon Abyss had a deep understanding of Su Feng.

The fact that he could slay a Ninth-Rank Expert from the Kaisi Galaxy was enough to prove his strength.

Their Demon Abyss didn't only have followers in the Yan He System.

"Although we are called the Demon Abyss, we do not engage in senseless slaughter. We have our own thoughts, just like you Humans. Moreover, all demons here are born viviparously, and we have a complete civilization, one that is in no way inferior to yours..."

"As for the demons in the Abyss, they only know slaughter, relying entirely on their primitive nature to control their actions; they are representatives of savagery and ignorance."

Speaking of this, a hint of smugness inevitably appeared on Demon King Cuoye's face.

If not for Su Feng's considerable strength, Humans would, in his eyes, only be one level higher than those low-level demons.

And only one level higher, at that.

Su Feng hadn't expected the demons here to be different from those he had previously encountered.

He had thought they were also bloodthirsty slaughterers, but unexpectedly... Moreover, the ability to transform the surrounding scenery showed a profound mastery in this area.

"Mr. Su, the Demon Abyss has a total of ten floors, but each floor is larger than the entire rest of the Abyss combined."

"We will not plunder the resources on Blue Star, nor will we create any conflict with Humanity."

"If Mr. Su is willing, you can join our Demon Abyss. Here, there are endless resources, and you can enjoy the sacrifices of others, allowing you to walk the path to godhood more swiftly."

Demon King Cuoye took a small sip of fragrant tea and continued, "What do you think, Mr. Su?!"

Su Feng was stunned.

It seemed the other party had two goals in inviting him here.

First, not to destroy the Zhuozhuo Altars.

Second, to invite him to join the Demon Abyss...
