Chapter 1497 - 955: Return to the First Layer

Chapter 1497: Chapter 955: Return to the First Layer

Abyss.

The First Layer.

Also the original Blood Battle Battlefield, and the largest Blood Battle Battlefield.

This is nearly the vastest layer of the entire Abyss, where the endless blood battles fill the entire space.

The sky is an eternal murky dark red, like congealed clotted blood, pressing down suffocatingly.

The ground is like charred remains ravaged repeatedly by millions of wars, with bottomless chasms crisscrossing.

Within flows a mixture of searing magma and viscous blood, emitting noxious fumes bearing the stench of sulfur and the scent of decayed innards.

The space itself is unbelievably fragile.

Everywhere are pitch-black cracks, yet to heal after being ripped open by divine power or mighty spells, from which frenzied chaotic energy seeps like wounds.

As far as the eye can see, there is only shattering, burning, and death.

Countless demons of various forms, exuding chaos and evil, surge like a black tide, wave after wave from beyond the horizon, letting out deafening blasphemous roars.

Opposing them is the Order Alliance Army, from countless corners of the Star Realm.

They form lines of steel defenses, like reefs standing within a filthy ocean, erupting with flames of destruction and the light of order under endless impact.

There is no rear, no pure land here.

Every inch of scorched earth is soaked with the blood of various races and the foul bodily fluids of demons, truly the ultimate meat grinder using the entire world as a furnace.

And there is the largest, the most conspicuous symbolic structure of this layer of the Blood Battle Battlefield.

The Blood War Fortress.

The original Blood War Fortress.

All other blood batyle fortresses on different Blood Battle Battlefields were constructed using this Blood War Fortress as a foundation and model.

It stands upon the Abyssal Scorched Earth, its grandeur far surpasses the concept of a "city" for mortals.

More like a mountain of steel cast with pure war intent.

The fortress’s main structure is forged and piled with countless blocks of nearly eternal black metal giant rocks, blessed by divine power and strengthened by runes.

Its surface is filled with deep dents from millennia of war, molten traces, and indelible dark purple bloodstains.

The towering fortress walls reach into the murky firmament, like unending ridgelines, thick enough to accommodate several giant dragons marching side by side.

Atop the walls, not towers, but giant weapon platforms resembling the fangs of war giant beasts stand densely.

Arcane Towers entwined with destructive energy pierce the sky like swords, ever ready to launch.

The cannon barrels of the rune cannons, filled with energy conduits, are deep like black holes, emitting an unsettling fluctuation.

The catapult arrays covered with multilayered magic shields resemble a forest of steel, hurling not stones but alchemical explosives with space-tearing power.

The fortress’s perimeter is a death zone made of deep pits, lava moats, spiked barricades, and countless trigger traps.

Inside the fortress lies everything that serves war.

Towering forges, ceaseless day and night, expel black smoke and firelight, forging an endless supply of weapons and armor; dense barracks like beehives, constantly spewing ready legions.

Enormous teleportation platforms flicker with stable space radiance, linking to constant reinforcements from throughout the Star Realm.

The entire fortress exudes a heavy, oppressive, indestructible solemn blackness.

Steel is its only language, defense and destruction its eternal theme, emanating an overwhelming aura of having withstood billions of years of fire and blood yet remaining immovable, is the most solid rock of order amidst the chaotic tides of the Abyss.

It’s worth mentioning that Kana has never stayed long in this largest blood war fortress before, always passing through swiftly each time.

This time, he rarely stayed for a moment.

During his brief presence, it seemed someone sensed his existence.

Though on the Blood Battle Battlefield, gods’ numbers are not scarce.

After all, if you talked about the Star Realm, the place with the most gathered gods, this place is undisputedly first, without second.

Because this is the first layer of the Blood Battle Battlefield, the largest battlefield in the entire Star Realm.

Almost no one would contend for this top position.

This place is almost synonymous with war.

And all war-related gods are frequent visitors here, for there’s no place more fitting for war in the entire Star Realm than here.

But how many gods are there here?

According to incomplete statistics, the number of gods averages a hundred every day.

If it’s some important battle moment, it can even exceed three hundred at times.

In other places, you might not find a god or even pass by for hundreds or thousands of years.

Yet here gods appear in clusters.

So this is the largest battlefield, where wielders of all levels of power, from ordinary mortal life to legendary beings, to gods, wage war.

Death is but the most insignificant footnote here.

If there were a god of death, he might have to reside here permanently.

But even if there are many gods, the appearance of each one must be taken seriously.

Thus, when Kana appeared, the gods around the Blood War Fortress sensed it.

And Kana didn’t hide his aura, as he wasn’t there to do anything.

So the gods who knew him came over.

The long-unseen Mist of Judgment.

This mist-like lifeform, deified, also introduced Kana to the Abyss.

Perceiving Kana’s arrival, it came to her side.
