Chapter 1779: Elise! Abyssal Rules!

"Of course it's the second kind!"

The little loli Vela's soul body immediately straightened her nonexistent chest and said huffily:

"I'll have you know I'm a genius succubus who cultivated to the Undying Overlord stage in just a million years.

Although there's no comparing with a freak like you, my standards are very high, okay?

Ordinary demon males simply can't catch my eye!"

"Is that so?" Xu Jingming didn't quite believe it.

Just then, waves of suppressed gasps and obsessed whispers rose from the surroundings.

"It's Lord Elise!"

"One of the most outstanding prodigies of this generation of the Blood Demon Palace — truly lives up to her reputation!"

"So beautiful, this figure, this temperament......"

"Careful, don't get mesmerized! Heard Lord Elise hates it most when people look at her with that kind of gaze!"

"......"

One saw that wherever the succubus named Elise passed.

Many Immortal-stage demons, and even some Masters with weak wills.

Their eyes all showed a momentary daze, influenced by the ultimate charm she unconsciously exuded.

She didn't seem to be deliberately using charm.

But that natural attraction stemming from her bloodline and peerless looks and figure.

Combined with her cold and proud temperament, formed a peculiar charm that made one want to conquer her even more.

Xu Jingming also felt that invisible wave of temptation.

Like a spring breeze brushing the face, plucking at the heartstrings.

However, he had long resisted the side effects of the Purple Nightmare Demon Body.

His mind and spirit were incomparably tough — how could he be tempted by a mere woman?

His purplish-red eyes, though fierce and violent, showed not a trace of obsession.

"Hm?"

The calmly advancing Elise suddenly frowned slightly.

Her purple pupils turned toward Xu Jingming's direction, flashing a hint of surprise.

"Elise, what is it?"

A male demon with bat wings on his back beside her asked in a low voice.

"Nothing." Elise withdrew her gaze, her tone cold.

But her heart stirred with waves.

Her charm talent was innate.

Even without deliberately using it, the attraction she unconsciously emitted was enough to make the vast majority of Immortal-stage minds sway.

Even those who could resist often needed to focus their minds to counter it, their eyes inevitably fluctuating.

Yet just now that four-meter-six, black-scaled demon's gaze actually didn't change at all.

Calm as if she weren't some mesmerizing peerless beauty, but just an utterly ordinary stone by the roadside.

"One of the eight Ancient Demons, a Void Demon?

Never heard they have any special resistance to mental charm?"

Though curious in her heart, Elise's peerlessly beautiful face still remained a sheet of frost.

She merely silently committed Xu Jingming's appearance and aura to memory.

"Worthy of a prodigy from the Blood Demon Palace."

The Illusion Demon Master watched the retreating backs of Elise and the others, sighing:

"Even casual natural charm is this astonishing.

If she fully unleashed her charm talent, I'm afraid even some Undying Overlord-stage ones would lose their grip on their minds."

"Indeed."

The Black Wind Master grinned, "In recent years the Blood Demon Palace has produced more and more monsters.

But that's good too — the stronger they are, the more advantage we have on the external battlefields."

Blood Demon Palace?

Xu Jingming's thoughts stirred slightly.

This is a colossus within the demon race's territory comparable to the human race's peak powers, its foundations unfathomably deep.

Those who come out of the Blood Demon Palace are without exception top experts of their same stage.

"Wonder if killing her would yield more quality particles."

He secretly anticipated it in his heart.

Several more days passed, and the demons on the entire continent grew more and more numerous.

When Xu Jingming was even starting to get a bit bored waiting.

A towering figure like a mountain peak suddenly slowly rose from the center of the continent.

Terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the whole venue, making all clamor come to an abrupt halt.

It was a demon race powerhouse over ten meters tall, with spiraling giant horns on his head, clad in ferocious bone armor.

His aura was unfathomably deep — clearly a Supreme Master!

"First, welcome the arrival of ten thousand Immortal-stage experts from our demon race's three thousand great star domains!"

His voice was loud as thunder, resounding across the entire continent, carrying a rousing battle intent.

Many demons' eyes burned with fighting spirit as they let out low growls in response.

"Next."

The Horned Sovereign's voice deepened, carrying supreme authority:

"I will now announce the rules for this Abyssal Demon Tide!

This demon tide concerns the peace of our clan's territory, and it is also your supreme opportunity!"

He waved his hand, and clear rule texts and patterns appeared in the void.

"The rules are very simple!"

The Horned Demon Sovereign's voice shook the starry sky: "Enter the Abyssal range and slay Abyssal demons.

For each demon you slay, you will earn corresponding points based on its strength.

We will rank you according to your points!"

His crimson eyes swept over those below as he continued:

"When the demon tide ends, several Exalted Lords will arrive in person!

The higher your point ranking, the more likely you are to catch the eye of the Exalted Lords!

Glory, strength, and future—all lie in your hands!

The chance to soar to the heavens is right before you!"

As his words faded, he flicked his finger.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Ten thousand streams of light in various colors.

Like a meteor shower, they precisely shot toward each Immortal-stage demon.

Xu Jingming raised his hand, and a stream of dark purple light fell into his palm.

It transformed into an ancient-looking, icy-cold black metal bracelet.

Its surface bore intricate demonic patterns, with a tiny blood-red crystal set at its center.

"This is the points bracelet. It will automatically record the Abyssal demons you slay and convert them into points."

The Horned Sovereign explained, "But remember:

The environment inside the Abyss is special, completely cutting off all long-range communication and divine sense probing.

Therefore, the bracelet points will only sync

when you leave the Abyss and return to this resting area, updating to the total leaderboard."

He paused, his tone turning grave:

"Also, in the initial stage, Immortal-stage teams from the same minor star field

must jointly destroy at least one elementary demon nest before they can move freely, hunt alone, or team up."

"Finally, and most importantly!"

The Horned Sovereign's voice suddenly rose, carrying a warning:

"The Abyssal aura contains a will of madness and chaos that will continuously erode the mind!

Remember, you must not remain continuously active inside the Abyss for more than fifteen stellar days!

You must return here to rest for at least three days to cleanse your mind, otherwise......"

His crimson eyes swept over the entire crowd:

"Your mind will be completely corrupted.

You will become demons who know only slaughter, forever sinking into the Abyss!"

After the warning, his tone shifted:

"Of course, our clan will not shortchange the warriors.

I have already prepared the grandest resting area for you!"

A world ring on his finger blazed with light!

Boom—!

Buildings of various styles, extravagantly luxurious, appeared out of thin air and steadily landed on the edge of the floating land.

Palaces floated with decadent music, light and shadow swaying, enchanting figures flickering, full of allure.

Restaurants exhaled fragrant aromas, merely smelling them making one's index finger twitch.

Arenas echoed with roars and cheers......

All kinds of facilities, dazzling to the eyes.

"During the demon tide, all consumption in the resting areas is free!

Fine wine, delicacies, beauties, male companions, gambling fights......

Everything you could want! Enjoy yourselves to the fullest!"

The Horned Sovereign spoke loudly, drawing a wave of cheers.

After long-term suppression in the Abyssal battles, these relaxation spots are crucial.

Next, he pointed to one of the most magnificent buildings, resembling a giant tower:

"The purposes of the other facilities are self-evident; I need not elaborate.

But the most important among them is this Resource Tower!"

He waved his hand again, and a massive holographic projection screen unfolded before the building.

It displayed a dazzling list of items and the corresponding Abyssal demon stones required for exchange.
