Chapter 262: Chapter 263: The Holy SSS Class Mission

"This is a genuine, living demon entity, not a projection from another dimension, my lord," Shangguan Xu said as he scanned an ancient book, "During the eruption of the Abyssal Flare, crevices exhale a horrifying surge of demonic aura. This aura is diluted and suppressed by the Array of Heavenly Gate Fortress, but the excess portions may take the shape of demons in the Mortal World. However, these demons are not entities."

"Only in very rare instances will actual demons crawl out of the crevices, they are real, they are the originals."

"Are the originals more formidable than the projections?"

"Of course, projection demons gather and store power in the Mortal World, then relay it back to the originals in the Hell dimension through arcane means. In essence, all demons are incredibly powerful."

"So it’s fair to say that all the demons in the Mortal World are just clones?"

"You could say that! However, this is not an absolute, genuine demons also exist. According to ’The Essence of Abyssal Demons’, the physical demons that come to the Mortal World are usually left with no alternatives and take great risks to arrive at our dimension. They are under real threat in Hell."

"Usually these demons are high-ranking ones, whether they fail challenging a superior demon or simply aren’t content with their status, they discover their own way to survive and become more powerful. Which is why the real demons appear in the Mortal World," Shangguan Xu glanced at the enormous female demon, shaking his head with a puzzled look in his eye, "However, this one might be an exception."

"From what you’ve said, it seems pretty easy for a demon to come to the Mortal World?"

"No, no, no, my lord, for an original demon to come to the Mortal World is a gamble of the highest stakes. There’s a ’dimensional atmosphere’ obstructing each dimension. To be entirely honest, I’m highly astounded by the good fortune of this juvenile Hell Demon from Satan’s Royal Family."

At this point, Chu You cast a glance at the book Shangguan Xu was holding, he asked, "What ancient book are you holding?"

"This is ’The Essence of Abyssal Demons’ written by The Three Ancestors of Taoism, would you like to take a look, my lord?" He handed it over to Chu You after speaking.

With a gleam in his eyes, Chu You received the book and then opened the first page.

Demons are chaotic, part of the Body of Chaos. They revel in conquest and plundering, taking pleasure from death or tormenting life, indulging in self-gratification. They spread madness and chaos. They have a strong penchant for corroding things that appear holy and represent righteousness, regardless of whether they are human hearts or objects...

Any demon that truly matures in Hell will be a frightening existence. If a demon is set loose in the Mortal World, it will cause extensive destruction. If they form a well-trained army, no one would be able to stop them, they would be unstoppable.

Fortunately for the enemies of demons, they are creatures of chaos, anarchists one and all.

Even though they are vicious and brutal from birth to maturity, demons are also very adept at self-preservation, They’ll resort to any means necessary to ensure their survival.

There’s only one rule among demons, that is to follow the force creates rights, the strong rule over the weak, and the weak rule over the weaker...

Just as he was reading this, a system notification sounded.

’Ding’ System: You have initiated the Holy SSS Class Mission ’True Hell Demon ①’

Mission Hint: Make every possible effort to establish contact and communicate with a true demon entity.

Upon seeing the Holy SSS Class mission, Chu You was indeed startled, and a slight sense of panic spread from the bottom of his heart. Because in his previous life, it was said that no one had ever perfectly completed a Holy SSS Class mission, even if they did, it was usually seriously flawed, the cost was higher than the gain.

Moreover, Holy SSS Class missions are inherently unique and remarkably difficult to encounter. In his previous life, some experts estimated that there were perhaps just 20 – 30 Holy SSS Class missions in total in ’Celestial World’. Most of them had permanently disappeared due to being incomplete, leaving many talented players with deep regrets.

Now, in this current life, not long after the game started, he was faced with such a mission. It could be deemed a great fortune or a misfortune.

Luckily, he obtained an Holy SSS Class Mission, he didn’t have this kind of luck in his previous life; Unluckily, he was still in a weak state. Even though he was acclaimed as the world’s number one player, indeed the most powerful player, but it didn’t change the fact that he was in a very weak position facing this mission.

He quickly opened the mission hint and studied it carefully. He found that there was no time limit, which was a bit of a relief and also a little regrettable. Every Holy SSS Class mission all have one thing in common: the mainline mission progress of other players can impact the Holy SSS Class mission itself.

If luck is on his side, the mission difficulty will greatly decrease at certain phases, but sometimes the difficulty can also drastically increase.

What’s a pity is that it’s impossible for players now to access the Hell dimension...

Under the current circumstances, he could only face it alone, yet this mission ’True Hell Demon ①’, He hadn’t heard anything about it in his previous life. He was without any foresight or experience about it.

As for the hint suggesting to initiate a contact with the true demon entity, Chu You looked at the giant naked, female demon, it was quite apparent, she was the only candidate for now!

However, he was at a loss of how to make the contact, because she was already at the brink of death.

Since this mission was triggered by this book, Chu You gave it some thought and continued reading the ancient book, but it was only a few minutes later that he was down to the last page.

In fact, this ancient book only had a few thin pages. The reason why he has been reading so slowly is that Chu You was being very thorough.

On the final page, one of the Three Ancestors of Taoism penned a closing statement that stirred Chu You profoundly.

Seeking Truth Taoist, as your predecessor, it is with heartfelt sorrow and regret that I inform you that Apocalypse is imminent, no one can stop it. Ashes will consume everything, people can only seek shelter in the haven of Abyssal Hell, a place fortified by the prophets of the human race.

Upon reading this, Chu You immediately looked up and focused on Shangguan Xu, he abruptly asked, "Does Hell dimension also have human fortresses?"

Shangguan Xu looked confused, shook his head, "I don’t know." He quickly added with astonishment in his eyes, "What have you seen?" Evidently, Shangguan Xu realized that there were words he couldn’t see.

Chu You didn’t respond, he immediately looked down and resumed his reading.

Seeking Truth Taoist, release your radiance to absorb my final knowledge. It will also be your last reliance. I hope you can find the only pilgrimage path under the ashes.

He didn’t find anything after reading this.

That’s it? How can I absorb your knowledge anyway? Chu You was at his wit’s end, he read it over again and again, all he could do in the end was to reluctantly close the ancient book.

At that very moment, when the ancient book was closed, a curious event happened.

The ancient book radiated a glow that gradually became brighter, by the time Chu You thought it was dazzling, the glow disappeared abruptly and the book transformed into specks of stardust scattered around Chu You. These stardust seemed to have a sense of purpose, they swiftly found their host and entered Chu You’s body.

Just then, Chu You heard a voice that seemed to belong to one of the Three Ancestors of Taoism whispering in his ear.

"Ah," it was a long, drawn-out sigh.

"Seeking Truth Taoist, your journey ahead is bound to be filled with suffering and despair, now, while there’s still the remnants of breath..... the Tao flame shall not perish!"
