Golden Sea, Deep Sea Forest Battle Zone.

Located over six thousand meters beneath the sea, a vast forest of vampiric demon trees rooted in the seabed stretches endlessly.

In the past, for most underwater creatures, the Deep Sea Forest was a perilous forbidden zone.

Now, due to the presence of a large abyssal rift, the Deep Sea Forest has become a battlefield between dragons and abyssal prisoners, making it even more dangerous and unapproachable.

The demon trees scattered across the seabed have absorbed the blood of numerous dragons and various abyssal prisoners, becoming exceptionally powerful and frenzied. They affect both dragons and prisoners, and because their primary targets are each other, they have continued to exist without being eradicated. Some individuals have even mutated, growing stronger over time.

At this moment.

The flames of war are fiercely burning in the Deep Sea Forest Battle Zone.

Legendary dragons and numerous abyssal prisoners of varying levels are locked in brutal combat amidst the thrashing vines of the vampiric demon trees, turning the cold, deep sea into a chaotic, murky battlefield filled with terrifying undercurrents and whirlpools.

There are six high-ranking legendary dragons in the Deep Sea Forest Battle Zone, all from the Metal Dragon Kind.

Two high-ranking Golden Dragons, two high-ranking Silver Dragons, one high-ranking Brass Dragon, and one high-ranking Copper Dragon.

Their main opponents, similar to those in the Sky Battle Zone, are nine high-ranking legendary abyssal prisoners.

However, the situation in the Deep Sea Forest Battle Zone is not better than the Sky Battle Zone despite the dragons having one more member. The war with the abyssal prisoners remains at a stalemate, with no advantage gained, and there is even a faint trend of being counterattacked by the abyssal prisoners.

This is because.

There is an exceptionally powerful high-ranking legendary prisoner in the Deep Sea Forest Battle Zone.

Boom!

A trident engulfed in demonic flames struck heavily against the dragon arm of a high-ranking pureblood Golden Dragon, shattering dragon scales and splattering dragon blood as the pureblood Golden Dragon was sent flying.

The owner of the flaming trident spread its wings, its sixteen-meter-tall, muscular body suspended quietly in the water, surrounded by countless bubbles rising from the high temperature.

Its ferocious and sinister form appeared faintly, like a demon from hell.

Its massive bat-like wings flapped slowly, and its tough, rough, crimson skin was covered in lava-like patterns, beneath which lay thick, robust muscles. Key areas were protected by natural armor as hard as steel and as sharp as blades.

It took a step forward, its rugged, winding horns piercing through the murky, high-temperature currents. Its humanoid face bore dagger-like fangs and a fierce expression, but its calm and contemplative gaze revealed its considerable intelligence.

No, not like a demon from hell.

This was indeed a demon from hell.

A Deep Abyss Fiend.

An outstanding creation of the Lord of the Nine Hells, the governor of hellish territories, the commander of the Nine Hells army, and an advisor to the Demon Dukes. Deep Abyss Fiends are the true elites of the demon race, occupying the upper echelons of the demonic hierarchy.

Horns, bat wings, and a spiked tail are the standard features of a demon, and they are the defining characteristics of a Deep Abyss Fiend.

The Demon Duke devoured and sealed by the Red Dragoness was one of the most powerful Deep Abyss Fiends.

Even in hell, Deep Abyss Fiends are rare and powerful. In terms of status, ordinary dragons, even Golden or Red Dragons, cannot compare to a Deep Abyss Fiend.

“I was once praised by Duke Mephistopheles himself.”

Duke Mephistopheles, full name Mephistopheles, is the devil lord who rules the Eighth Layer of Hell. He has attempted to overthrow the Lord of the Nine Hells multiple times. Although he has failed repeatedly, his value has prevented him from being eliminated, and he remains an unshakable hellish overlord.

“I have killed countless demons in the endless Blood War.”

The Blood War, a brutal conflict between demons and devils that has lasted for countless years, is one of the most infamous and terrifying battles in the multiverse. It continues to this day, never ceasing.

“I have witnessed demon lords stronger than deities fall on the burning ground.”

The Deep Abyss Fiend, despite its fierce appearance, spoke with an elegant demeanor. It glanced around at its surroundings and then swept its gaze over the high-ranking dragons, whispering:

“And you, dragons living in this narrow material plane, like frogs at the bottom of a well, dare to dream of stopping me from returning to hell, from returning to the Blood War.”

“Your courage is commendable, but you overestimate yourselves.”

As it spoke, hellfire erupted from the Deep Abyss Fiend’s body, evaporating countless bubbles around it. Its overwhelming presence surged as it charged at the dragons.

The high-ranking Golden Dragon that had been sent flying, along with another high-ranking Golden Dragon, intercepted the Deep Abyss Fiend, engaging it in a fierce battle.

In the Sky Battle Zone.

The high-ranking dragons, known for their formidable combat prowess, often fought two abyssal prisoners at once.

But here, it took two of the strongest high-ranking Golden Dragons to barely hold their ground against the Deep Abyss Fiend, and they were even at a disadvantage. This Deep Abyss Fiend was at least equivalent to four ordinary high-ranking legendary beings.

Fighting against such a powerful opponent was rare.

However, this Blood War warrior, praised by the hellish overlord, was one of the few capable of such feats. Among the powerful Deep Abyss Fiends, it was an exceptional individual.

If it hadn’t been ambushed by a demigod-level demon in the Blood War, this Deep Abyss Fiend wouldn’t have fallen into the Casserly Abyss.

The Deep Abyss Fiend single-handedly suppressed two high-ranking Golden Dragons and occasionally attacked other high-ranking ancient dragons. Because of this powerful demon warrior, the dragons had no advantage in this high-ranking legendary battlefield.

The two high-ranking Golden Dragons facing the Deep Abyss Fiend were under immense pressure.

They were constantly on high alert, needing to be vigilant at all times.

If they were injured by the Deep Abyss Fiend, the hellfire it wielded would continuously erode their bodies, causing difficult-to-heal wounds.

Despite the dire situation.

The high-ranking dragons did not lose heart.

News of victory from the Sky Battle Zone had already reached them.

Moreover, the two rising stars of the Dragon Kind who led the victory in the Sky Battle Zone, the Dragon Empress and the Golden Heart, had finished their rest and were on their way to the Deep Sea Forest Battle Zone.

“You, who dwell in the material plane, cannot comprehend the power of the outer planes.”

“To think you can resist the prisoners and seal the Casserly Abyss rift on your own is pure folly.”

“You are merely engaging in futile efforts. No matter the process, you will ultimately fail.”

During the battle, the Deep Abyss Fiend continued to use words to attack the dragons’ confidence. Despite its fierce appearance, it had a cunning and insidious mind, capable of more than just fighting and killing.

At the same time,

The high-ranking dragons sensed two powerful Dragon Mights approaching the Deep Sea Forest Battle Zone.

“Arrogant demon, you seem to think victory is within your grasp.”

“Heh, even dragons living in the material plane are still dragons. In the era when we ruled the multiverse, would you demons dare show even a hint of arrogance?”

“Even though the Dragon Kind is now weakened, we are not to be underestimated.”

The high-ranking Golden Dragon’s spirit was invigorated, blocking a strike from the Deep Abyss Fiend, and let out a rolling dragon chant.

“Oh? You think—”

The Deep Abyss Fiend pursued, still speaking words meant to affect the enemy’s morale, but its words were abruptly cut off.

It seemed to sense something, and its body froze.

An invisible, destructive wave of energy spread instantly, sweeping through the entire Deep Sea Forest Battle Zone, passing through every prisoner, every dragon, and every living creature.

In that instant.

Time seemed to stand still, as if the hand of death had swept through, taking countless lives. The once chaotic and noisy Deep Sea Forest became deathly silent.

The largest number of prisoners below the legendary level, along with native creatures from the Casserly Abyss, instantly perished, turning into corpses that either floated to the surface or sank to the seabed.

Having experienced the Sky Battle Zone, Saga did not hesitate this time.

He unleashed a neutron annihilation attack that spared no one, clearing out all the lesser enemies.

Since there were no dragons below the legendary level in this dangerous battle zone, he didn’t have to worry about using neutron annihilation.

Immediately after, Saga and Yekaterina charged into the Deep Sea Forest Battle Zone, like a sharp blade piercing the heart of the battlefield.

Some legendary prisoners came to their senses and tried to intercept the two dragons, whose life levels were not high and were relatively low among the many legendary dragons.

They were met with the unstoppable, deadly strikes of the black and gold dragon.

And the nuclear explosive dragon claws of the Plutonium Dragon, carrying destructive power.

Legendary creatures that could dominate in the outside world were now no match, as fragile as roadside flowers, trampled by Saga and Yekaterina.

Even sixth-level legendary abyssal prisoners couldn’t halt the advance of the two dragons.

The black and gold and red and gold figures swept through the turbulent waters, annihilating any prisoners in their path, penetrating deep into the Deep Sea Forest Battle Zone.

“Such overwhelming power deserves the title of warrior in the Blood War.”

On the other side, the Deep Abyss Fiend repelled a combined attack from the two high-ranking Golden Dragons and gazed at Saga and Yekaterina, its eyes burning with intense battle lust.

At the same time, sensing the Deep Abyss Fiend’s attention, Saga and Yekaterina also looked at it.

The Deep Abyss Fiend grinned, revealing an excited smile and sharp, dangerous fangs.

“You are not like ordinary dragons; you deserve to know my name before you die.”

“Blood War Warrior—Deep Abyss Fiend Abaddon!”

Boom!

Abandoning the two high-ranking Golden Dragons, the Deep Abyss Fiend gripped its flaming trident tightly, its bat wings flapping as its towering, muscular body tore through the water, charging at the two dragons that excited it.

The high-ranking Golden Dragons, previously suppressed by the Deep Abyss Fiend, did not pursue but chose to attack other high-ranking prisoners.

They believed that the dragon twins who had secured victory in the Sky Battle Zone could handle the Deep Abyss Fiend.

The Deep Abyss Fiend loomed in Saga’s vision.

It gave Saga a sense of danger no less than the berserk Destruction Insects in the Sky Battle Zone.

Yekaterina felt it too.

Having only recently entered the legendary realm, her rank was not high. Facing such a powerful high-ranking legendary being required caution.

“Let’s take down this Deep Abyss Fiend together.”

Saga and Yekaterina exchanged a glance, seeing the eagerness in each other’s eyes. The two fierce dragons flapped their wings, charging side by side, one on the left and one on the right, towards the Deep Abyss Fiend.

Due to their mutual charge, in the blink of an eye, dragon and demon collided.

Clang!

The trident met the superheavy dragon claw, bending under the immense pressure, unable to withstand the black and gold dragon’s terrifying strength.

This was a supreme weapon personally forged and bestowed by the Demon Duke!

The Deep Abyss Fiend’s eyes narrowed, its muscles bulging like steel, unleashing even greater strength to deflect the black and gold dragon’s claw. But to its surprise, the more strength it exerted, the stronger the opponent’s force became, making it difficult to counter.

“It reflected my power.”

As a seasoned Blood War warrior, the Deep Abyss Fiend quickly realized Saga’s Force Field.

At the same time, Yekaterina roared, her dragon claw, shimmering with golden threads, struck with destructive force towards the Deep Abyss Fiend’s waist.

Caught in a pincer attack, the Deep Abyss Fiend initially wanted to retreat.

But the black and gold dragon’s gaze intensified, as if an invisible mountain pressed down, binding the Deep Abyss Fiend with immense gravity, hindering its movements.

Realizing it couldn’t evade, the Deep Abyss Fiend made a swift decision to defend.

Summoning a shield of hellfire, it raised its other hand to block Yekaterina’s dragon claw.

Boom!

As the blood-red dragon claw, laced with golden light, collided with the hellfire shield, a blinding flash erupted, followed by a fierce explosion, shattering the shield.

The Deep Abyss Fiend’s expression changed as it was sent flying by the powerful strike.

Stabilizing itself, it looked down at the wound inflicted by Yekaterina’s high-pressure nuclear explosive dragon claw, taking a deep breath and summoning hellfire to scorch the injured area.

However, the hellfire failed to heal the wound.

The Deep Abyss Fiend’s heart sank, realizing that the wound contained a corrosive radioactive energy that inhibited its body’s regeneration, severely slowing its recovery.

If it were a one-on-one fight.

Saga or Yekaterina might not be a match for the Deep Abyss Fiend, given its intelligence and strength.

But it faced both Saga and Yekaterina simultaneously, not just one dragon.

In their first encounter, it was injured by their coordinated attack.

Despite being their first time fighting together, Saga and Yekaterina didn’t need to communicate, instinctively knowing each other’s intentions, achieving a synergy greater than the sum of their parts.

Without giving the Deep Abyss Fiend time to recover, the two dragons, brimming with Dragon Might, charged at it again.

The domain of shifting gravity and the radiation field centered on Yekaterina.

The two dragons unleashed their domain skills, making the Deep Abyss Fiend uncomfortable. Even the hellfire barrier couldn’t negate the effects of the two domains.

Whoosh!

Just as it dodged Yekaterina’s attack, the black and gold dragon’s superheavy claw, with its immense weight and terrifying power, came crashing down.

The Deep Abyss Fiend turned its head, locking eyes with the black and gold dragon.

Its fierce face took on a solemn expression as it uttered the ancient, powerful devil’s language.

Blasphemous Word: “Death!”

The Deep Abyss Fiend’s Blasphemous Word was a rare, powerful skill that could only be used after a long cooldown, almost guaranteeing death for those below its rank.

Legend has it that the Lord of the Nine Hells’ Blasphemous Word could kill even mid-tier deities.

At the moment the Blasphemous Word was spoken, the Force Field failed to defend against this unique attack.

It felt like a giant hammer struck its head, and the black and gold dragon seemed to be struck by lightning. Its golden eyes turned black, deathly energy enveloping its body as if it had lost its life. The heavy claw, though still moving due to inertia, became stiff and easy to dodge.

“To force me to use the Blasphemous Word, your death is an honor.”

The Deep Abyss Fiend flapped its bat wings, rising to avoid the superheavy claw, thinking silently.

But in the next moment, the black and gold dragon’s tail, covered in fine scales, struck like lightning, hitting the Deep Abyss Fiend’s waist and sending it flying like a comet.

Caught off guard, the Deep Abyss Fiend couldn’t dodge and was hit by the dragon tail, bending its body and sending it flying.

Dragons naturally have strong vitality and high resistance to various curses.

Saga’s vitality and resistance were even greater than his kin, and the deathly energy from the Blasphemous Word couldn’t extinguish his immense life force.

However, the Deep Abyss Fiend’s trump card skill was indeed powerful.

If there were a health bar, the Blasphemous Word would have reduced Saga’s health by about one-fifth, significantly weakening him.

If five high-ranking legendary Deep Abyss Fiends used the Blasphemous Word simultaneously on Saga, who had recently become a legend, they might succeed in killing him.

Meanwhile.

The Deep Abyss Fiend, slammed into the seabed, felt its body nearly break. Its face twisted in pain as it struggled to stand.

But as it rose, a violent aura descended upon it.

Looking up, it saw the red and gold dragon blocking its view.

Yekaterina, filled with wrath, stomped down heavily.

Boom! A shockwave erupted from the seabed, causing the endless seabed to collapse and sink, and murky seawater spread in all directions.
