Chapter 537 The Order of the 7th Layer Abyss

The seventh layer of the abyss is not only a symbol of desolation and destruction, it is also the habitat of countless powerful demons. The demons here are not as chaotic and disorderly as the creatures in other layers of the abyss. On the contrary, they have their own hierarchy and territory division.

In the central area of ​​the Eternal Wasteland, there is a huge black fortress. This is the residence of the ruler of the seventh layer of the Abyss, the Lord of Disaster. The Lord of Disaster is one of the most powerful beings in the Abyss, controlling the power of destruction and disaster. According to legend, he was once a servant of a fallen god, and after his fall, he established his own kingdom in the Abyss.

The fortress of the Lord of Disaster is built of pure black rocks, full of the breath of death and darkness. The fortress is surrounded by countless abyss demons, who are responsible for guarding the lord's territory. Most of these demons have powerful magic and combat abilities, exuding endless murderous intent. Any creature that dares to approach the territory will be torn to pieces by them.

The Lord of Disaster has a huge army of demons under his command. These demons are the elite troops in the abyss. Their bodies are strengthened by dark magic, and they are huge and extremely powerful. Whether it is the demon knight holding a giant sword or the demon wizard who can control fire and shadow, they are all loyal servants of the Lord of Disaster, ready to wage war for him at any time.

On the edge of the Eternal Wasteland, there is a group of demons called "Abyss Claws". These demons have no fixed territory, they wander around the wasteland, plundering resources and hunting other creatures. Most of the Abyss Claws demons are creatures with powerful melee capabilities. Their bodies are as hard as black steel, and their claws are extremely sharp, which can easily tear through the enemy's defenses.

The Abyss Claws have no unified leader, but they have a strong sense of tribe. Whenever resources are scarce, these demons will gather together to form temporary tribes, cooperating with each other to resist attacks from other demons or hunt outsiders. These demons often appear in every corner of the wasteland, and their whereabouts are uncertain, posing a huge threat to human adventurers and other creatures who enter the abyss.

In addition to demons, the Eternal Wasteland is also inhabited by a mysterious and terrifying existence - the Abyss Evil Spirits. They are not physical creatures, but a kind of spirit condensed from dark energy. The evil spirits wander silently in every corner of the wasteland, their figures are looming and almost undetectable.

The most terrifying thing about the evil spirits of the abyss is that they can absorb the souls of living things and transform them into their own power. They often lurk in the shadows, waiting for their prey to approach. Any creature that is unfortunate enough to be targeted by the evil spirits will be drained of its vitality invisibly, and only an empty shell will be left. The existence of evil spirits makes the Eternal Wasteland full of endless dangers. Even powerful demons are unwilling to be enemies with these evil spirits.

Although the Eternal Wasteland is full of destruction and danger, there is still a city built by demons on this barren land - the Obsidian City.

The Obsidian City is the largest city on the seventh layer of the Abyss. It is a huge city located on the edge of the wasteland. The city's buildings are completely built of obsidian and abyssal rocks. From a distance, the entire city is like a huge black gem, flashing a cold light. The city is surrounded by thick walls, which are covered with magic runes, exuding a strong protective magic aura. Any outsiders who attempt to invade the city will be resisted by the powerful power of these runes.

Inside the Obsidian City, the demons live a completely different lifestyle from humans. The demon society here strictly follows the principle of power supremacy, and the law of the jungle is the basic law of the Obsidian City. Those demons with powerful strength often rule the upper echelons of the city, controlling the power and resources of the city, while those weak demons are at the bottom of society and live a humble life.

The upper class of the city is composed of powerful high-level demons, who are the real rulers of the Obsidian City. Most of these demons have extremely high wisdom and powerful magic power. They rule various areas of the city and make strict laws. High-level demons often live in the Obsidian Palace in the center of the city. These palaces are towering into the sky and are full of luxury and darkness.

In addition to competing for power, high-level demons are constantly planning how to expand their territory and power. Through enslavement and conquest, they control a large number of low-level demons and other abyssal creatures to serve their own interests.

The bottom layer of the Obsidian City is low-level demons and enslaved creatures. Low-level demons serve as various laborers in the city. They are the city's craftsmen, vendors, warriors and serfs, responsible for maintaining the basic operation of the city. Although these demons are not as powerful as high-level demons, they still follow the principle of power first and rely on fighting and fighting each other to gain a higher status.

Fights between low-level demons are very common, and demons clash almost every day for resources or status. In such a social environment, the weak can only survive by cruelty and conspiracy. Those demons who fail often become slaves and become tools of high-level demons, either forced to serve them or sent to the arena to fight life and death for the entertainment of high-level demons. The slaves of the Obsidian City are not limited to low-level demons, but also include creatures plundered from other levels of the abyss, and even humans and aliens captured from other worlds. These slaves have extremely difficult lives, struggling for survival every day, and they are at the bottom and have almost no ability to resist.

Slaves were forced to do the most dangerous and arduous work, such as digging obsidian and abyssal crystals in the obsidian mines. These crystals are extremely important magical resources in the abyss. Slaves often face attacks from abyssal creatures in the mines, and the mortality rate is extremely high. Those slaves who survived in the mines were exhausted physically and mentally, but they could not escape the city because the city was surrounded by surveillance and protective magic, and any fugitives would be quickly hunted down and executed.

The Obsidian City has an extremely active market, which is the only place in the city where demons and other Abyssal residents are allowed to trade. The market is full of stalls filled with all kinds of strange goods, selling everything from magic weapons to evil spell scrolls, from Abyssal plants to captured creatures. The currency used by demons to trade here is Abyssal Crystals, which not only contain powerful magic power, but are also important materials for high-level magic rituals.
