Abyss Realm

The Abyss realm was ruled by five demon kings:

* Bechymos
* Cecrops(Dead\*)
* Golander(Dead\*)
* Leviathan(Dead\*)
* Manticole(Dead\*)

They possessed vast, expansive territories with millions of abyssal demons under their control. If the Abyss was a pyramid then these five beings would lay right at the pyramidion.

The demons of the Abyss followed a completely different cultivation system from Han Shuo. The Primary cultivation method of the Abyss is Body cultivation, only Gods develop Soul cultivation.  Basically the opposite of the Profound Continent.

In the Abyss realm where the strong preyed on the weak, it seemed as though every high-level Abyssal creature had to rely on one of the five abyssal demon kings to survive. For countless years, the five great demon kings had been on their ceaseless campaign against each other to rule the whole of the Abyss.

High-level races and existences were different from the ugly, filthy abyssal creatures. They held great power and exceptional intelligence. Outside of combat they possessed the ability to transform into various forms, the human appearance being the most common.

The constant warring between the five great demon kings was like a law unchanged since times immemorial. Everyday low-level abyssal creatures would march to battle and subsequently their deaths under the command of the higher level beings.

There was no day or night in the abyssal world, but every few days the sky would turn pitch black as though the abyssal world had been sheathed under a thick, dark cloak. At such times, it was impossible to see anything without another light source.

The abyssal realm used this sudden nightfall as a measurement of time. The passage of time marked by this abrupt cover of darkness was equivalent to one day on Profound Continent, but for each day that passed in the abyssal realm, half a month would have gone by on Profound Continent.

There were all kinds of abyssal creatures at various levels of strength. Those low-level ones would eternally be treated as cannon fodders and saddle horses, and would never be qualified to enjoy any privileges that high-level creatures received.

Aside from the low-level creatures, average high-level creatures were divided into Abyssal troopers, Destroyers, Rakshas, and Demons, with each class further divided into three levels. Advanced abyssal creatures with rights to live in a city or that were enlisted soldiers for a powerhouse were level one Abyssal troopers or higher.

Every expert gradually advanced through constant massacre. The more enemies they killed, the higher they climbed. Both Hemanna and Sylph were level one Destroyers, while Nambrough was a level three Destroyer.

Higher up the ladder, experts who could possess their own territories within a city or a region were known as Rakshas. They were allowed their own guards. For example, this man before Han Shuo had a Raksha drawn onto the medallion on his chest. The two bloody skulls in the mouth of the Raksha indicated that he was a level-two Raksha!

Above Rakshas were Demons. They were the true influential figures for those powerhouses. For example, Crosius of War Demon Valley and General Yeki of Venomfang Castle, they were level one Demons. Every Demon cultivated elemental energy to fill every cell in their bodies, even in the brain.

Above the Demons were the mightiest of the whole of Abyss realm – the five great demon kings. They were like mountains that could not be scaled. Billions of abyssal creatures had to bow and prostrate themselves before them. They were the true masters of the Abyss realm!
