Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 295: Blood Giant Wang Shi

Chapter 295: Blood Giant Wang Shi

Wang Shi, a Level 6 monarch-class Demon King, was ranked 483rd on the Demon King leaderboard. Although his rank might not seem very high, his inclusion on the Demon King leaderboard alone testified to Wang Shi being among the top echelon of powerful figures in the Demon King faction.

One of the key reasons for Wang Shi's prominence and sustained presence on the leaderboard was his longstanding cooperative relationship with Zhang Nu, the top-ranked Demon King. Wang Shi's territory was particularly rich in various types of gems. Zhang Nu had been purchasing most of his gems from Wang Shi, often paying slightly above the market price to secure priority buying rights. While the mark-up was modest, the volume and consistency of these transactions had allowed Wang Shi to amass considerable wealth, providing significant economic support for his territory's development.

At that moment, Wang Shi was in his castle. He stood over two to three hundred meters tall, with fingers as large as train carriages, and his entire body was a vivid red. His eyes blazed with red flames, exuding a powerful aura and a sense of oppression. Although Wang Shi was just a monarch, as a top-tier giant race, his physique rivaled that of dragons, allowing him to contend with Level 6 mythics due to his formidable physical strength.

In the grand hall of his castle stood thousands of giants. The shortest of them measured fifty meters, with most standing well over one to two hundred meters tall, all of them covered in vivid red and exuding a scent of blood. Among them were four monarch units and at least twenty overlord units. This lineup clearly indicated that Wang Shi had substantial resources at his disposal.

At that moment, in the center of the Demon King's Hall, a spatial vortex appeared, stabilizing into a shape after a few seconds. It revealed another Demon King's Hall, with a palpable aura of terrifying dragon fear emanating from it. A figure was released from the vortex. The moment he appeared, everyone in the hall, including the Bloody Giant Wang Shi and all other giants and Demon King units present, felt a strong sense of oppression.

Zhang Nu looked around and realized that the Demon King's Hall he was in now was no less imposing than the Demon Dragon Castle in the Darkness City. Since the Demon King units around him were predominantly giants, he decided to transform into his dragon form for easier communication.

Zhang Nu rarely used his dragon form in daily life, mainly because it was too massive. The size of a dragon was generally proportional to its strength. Upon transforming into his dragon form, Zhang Nu's body stretched to four hundred meters in length. His immense size and majestic presence, coupled with his dominant aura, made him several times more formidable than Bloody Giant Wang Shi seated on his throne. Facing such a fearsome entity, all units under Wang Shi's command felt as if they were facing a great enemy.

Yet, Bloody Giant Wang Shi let out a laugh louder than thunder: "Hahaha, worthy indeed of brother Zhang Nu, the current foremost Demon King! Both your spirit and courage are unmatched!"

Wang Shi was straightforward in nature. He did not flatter or pander even in the presence of the foremost Demon King. In fact, Wang Shi held great admiration for Zhang Nu, especially since Zhang Nu had suggested meeting directly at Wang Shi's castle upon receiving the message. Considering Zhang Nu's current status, he was a figure both coveted and feared by top Heroes. Was he not afraid that Wang Shi might conspire with top-tier Heroes to set a trap and lure him into the Demon King's castle?

There was only one explanation: this foremost Demon King trusted him. Moreover, he was extremely confident in his own strength, convinced that even if he encountered an ambush, he could remain calm and retreat unscathed.

"Are you Wang Shi?" Zhang Nu asked, his enormous claws pressing down on the floor. His majestic wings slowly spread, spanning hundreds of meters like dark clouds that could overshadow the sun, imposing an almost suffocating pressure on any lesser creature, exuding overwhelming authority.

Wang Shi immediately stepped forward and said, "Thank you, brother, for trusting this old Wang. Rest assured, I wouldn't invite someone of your stature here without being certain."

"Where is the Void Seed?" Zhang Nu asked promptly.

Wang Shi explained, "The Void Seed is an extremely rare and elusive divine stone, born at the dawn of creation. It's a material seldom found, unavailable in lands, oceans, or the underworld."

Zhang Nu asked, "Why do you say that?"

Wang Shi explained, "The Void Seed is called so because it takes root in the void, absorbing the energies of chaos and nothingness. Once it reaches a certain stage, it can exit the void to create new spaces, even entire new worlds."

No wonder, Zhang Nu thought as he looked around and said, "So, this place isn't part of any continent, ocean, or the underworld?"

"Correct, this is the outer world. Both the resources and species here are vastly different from those on land," Wang Shi said casually. "Alright, no time to waste, let's set off immediately. I'll help you acquire that Void Seed."

Although it was their first meeting, the two were already quite familiar with each other. Zhang Nu knew his character well; this guy could make friends with anyone, carried no airs about him, didn't put up with others' airs, and was decisive in action.

Zhang Nu flew out of the massive castle and was surprised by the environment outside. It was a bizarre, gigantic floating island in a vast open space. Nearby, he could see numerous energy condensates, like small and large suns scattered across the space, illuminating it.

Zhang Nu knew that this place was not the familiar surface world but an outer world detached from the planet. In this outer world, the air was thin, making it uninhabitable for ordinary people. The area was rife with energy turbulence and various powerful celestial bodies.

Moreover, the outer world was home to many unique creatures, including unheard-of magical beasts and daemons, as well as species never seen on the ground. The darkest and most negative part of this world was known as the Abyss, a place with the harshest environment within this vast space, inhabited by ancient evils and various powerful beings.

Wang Shi briefly explained, "The place we're heading to is a mysterious city known as the City of Void, located in the Land of Nothingness. It's extremely dangerous."

According to the information Wang Shi had, it was highly probable that a Void Seed was located within the City of Void. However, not only was this city very difficult to locate, but also no one had ever successfully entered it. Not to mention approaching the city, even the surrounding environment was unbearable for living beings.

Furthermore, reaching the City of Void would require navigating through a complex web of forces from various extraterrestrial powers. Without a local guide, it was nearly impossible to make it there alone.

Zhang Nu asked, "How do we get there?"

Wang Shi calmly replied, "Don't worry, brother, we don't need a ship, this island itself is a huge airship!"

Just then, Zhang Nu felt it. In the center square of the Demon King's city, there was a tower emitting powerful energy. It was this tower that controlled the movement of the gigantic island, indicating the island's extraordinary origins.

"Let's set off!" Wang Shi commanded, and the Demon King's city began moving at an astonishing speed."
