From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 114 - 103: Encounter with the Horned Demon Commander Again_2
Master Gulu's eyes widened in surprise, "That world is very dangerous, and I'm worried that you won't be able to come back if you go in again."
Lu Heng, who was fairly familiar with the Abyss World, thought seriously and then said, "I can give it a try."
After a moment, Master Gulu replied, "There is indeed a spatial marker left in the Quenching Castle that can teleport you into the Abyss World. But once there, you will definitely be subjected to intense Spiritual Pollution, so I do not recommend taking the risk."
"I'll go in and take a look, and if it's dangerous, I'll come right back," Lu Heng suggested.
"All right then. However, you must be quick because I cannot guarantee how long the spatial marker will last. You have to return to the marker's location as quickly as possible for me to be able to bring you back. Otherwise, you might get stuck there," Gulu reminded again.
"Understood."
Lu Heng nodded in agreement, retrieved the Aurora Blade, and then followed Gulu to the Departure Room.
Inside the Departure Room was a strangely shaped machine.
This machine was a product of Abyss technology, a transporter created using the laws of the Abyss.
The transporter was slightly low because it was made for the Black Iron Dwarfs of the Abyss, the tallest of whom were no more than 1.3 meters.
Lu Heng walked into the transporter and barely managed to stand upright.
Then, Gulu activated the transporter, connecting to the spatial marker.
A flash of white light passed, and after a few seconds, his vision slowly returned.
The next second.
Lu Heng saw a data prompt.
[Subjected to Spiritual Pollution from an unknown entity, Spirit -1]
The intensity of the Spiritual Pollution was many times stronger than the first time he entered.
The first time he entered the Abyss Battlefield, Spiritual Pollution decreased his spirit by about one point every hour.
Now, the intensity had increased to one point per minute.
The intensity of the Spiritual Pollution had almost increased sixtyfold.
No wonder Gulu said this world was becoming more dangerous, just the Spiritual Pollution alone was unbearable for anyone.
Moreover, after killing the Horned Demon Commander, there might be a massive outbreak of Spiritual Pollution.
Therefore, he had to hurry.
Having been to this world before, he was very familiar with the terrain.
Lu Heng used the Illusion Pearl to transform into the appearance of a Scary Claw Demon and then ran toward the lair of the Horned Demon Commander.

The lair of the Horned Demon Commander was located in that dilapidated building, his favorite dining spot.
Since he had transformed into the image of a Scary Claw Demon, even if he occasionally encountered demons along the way, it did not cause much of a stir.
Lu Heng didn't have time to deal with these low-rank demons and rushed directly to the Horned Demon Commander's Hunting Ground, then climbed up to the seventh floor from the exterior wall.
After reaching an Agility of 58 points, a single leap measured the height of two floors, so getting up to the seventh floor was just a matter of three leaps.
After reaching the seventh floor, Lu Heng hid behind a pillar and looked inside.
He saw the metal cage that kept "food," everything was the same as the first time he came in except for a new cage.
At that moment, the cage incredibly held "food."
And Lu Heng recognized these "foods."
They were not humans or wild beasts, but a group of small dwarfs from the Bansel Clan.
A group of Bansel people, both men and women, gathered inside the cage, trying to break free from the prison.
Seeing this situation, Lu Heng was not very surprised.
Because even before his rebirth, he knew that not only humans were conscripted by the Abyss Battlefield.
In fact, in all worlds invaded by the Abyss, the intelligent species would appear to be conscripted.
The more numerous the group, the more frequently conscriptions occurred.
Seeing the Bansel people in the cage, Lu Heng immediately knew that the Bansel people had been conscripted by the Abyss Battlefield and transported here.
That is to say, he had broken into an ongoing Abyss Battlefield.
This group of Bansel people was using brute force to pry open the iron cage.
The iron cage was tough, but the Bansel people were small, and they forcefully created an opening large enough to crawl through.
So, the group of Bansel people started to crawl out of the cage.
By the third person.
Heavy footsteps thudded upstairs, and the figure of the Horned Demon Commander appeared on the floor, seemingly amused by the group of "food" trying to escape.
"Ah!"
The Bansel people were startled, and the one responsible for prying open the iron cage bars was so frightened that he let go of his grip.
The iron cage bars snapped back, trapping a Bansel person's head.
This Bansel person cried out in panic, "Ah… help, help!"
The Horned Demon Commander strode forward, grabbed a Bansel person, and was about to stuff him into his mouth.
The size of a Bansel person was just right for one bite.
Just then,
Lu Heng dashed forward with a burst of speed using Gale Step's second stage acceleration, instantly reaching a speed of a hundred meters per second, charging right in front of the Horned Demon Commander and drawing the Aurora Blade at the same time.
The moment he saw the Aurora Blade, the Horned Demon Commander recognized this tall figure as the annoying creature that had once injured him and successfully escaped.
Roar!
The Horned Demon Commander roared in anger, threw away the Bansel person in his hand, and raised his two gigantic claws, "Bang! Bang!" He continuously slammed them down towards Lu Heng.
With time pressing, Lu Heng activated "Bullet Time", dodging left and right, gracefully avoiding the two strikes.
Then, without giving the Horned Demon Commander a chance to strike again, he raised his Aurora Blade and delivered a "Rift Slash".
Rift Sword Radiance descended with an unstoppable force, cutting the Horned Demon Commander in half.
A clean, swift kill without any hesitation.
[Killing the Horned Demon Commander, absorbed 450 points of Demon Energy.]
[Source Energy Level increased to Level 23, All Attributes +3, Agility Attribute bonus +0.9]
[Acquired Source Material, Source Quality Fusion increased to 22.5%]
In addition to the Source Material, the Horned Demon Commander also released a Skill Crystal Core.
While leveling up, along with the notification of killing the Horned Demon Commander, a notification of spiritual power -1 also appeared.
The intensity of Spiritual Pollution began to erupt, rapidly depleting his spiritual power by 1 point per second.
Lu Heng had no time to delay further, immediately cut off the Horned Demon Commander's horn, then turned back to the stunned group of Bansel people.
"Are you from Stone Hammer Castle?" Lu Heng recognized them as Bansel people, but with thousands in Stone Hammer Castle, he couldn't recognize each one.
Moreover, the Bansel people had undergone many migrations, it was possible that other tribe branches were scattered in other worlds.
These few Bansel people hesitated for a moment, then immediately bowed respectfully in gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for rescuing us. Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Heng instantly knew they indeed came from Stone Hammer Castle, if it were other Bansel tribe branches, they wouldn't have been so respectful.
"The intensity of Spiritual Pollution here is increasing; you better go back. I can't linger here anymore. Pass a message to your leader and Mia, I'll try to visit them in the future. Hurry along now," Lu Heng urged again.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lu." The group of Bansel people expressed their gratitude once more, then one by one chose to return, teleporting out of this world.
In the midst of speaking, spiritual power again -1.
Lu Heng wasted no more time, immediately activating Gale Step's second stage acceleration, and dashed toward the direction of the spatial marker.
At the same moment,
The death of the Horned Demon Commander incited the fury of some unknown entity in this world.
The sky began to fill with dark clouds.
The clouds quickly gathered into a Demon God's head, which roared loudly, then opened its mouth to spew out a black cloud, condensing into a sky-piercing long spear, thrusting down towards Lu Heng.
Seeing the dark cloud spear coming down, Lu Heng dared not take it lightly, instantly used Shadow Traversal sinking straight down and burrowed into the ground, pushing his speed to the limit.
Gale Step second stage acceleration at 200%, and Shadow Travel State acceleration at 300%, a total of 500% acceleration, allowed Lu Heng to zip through the underground like lightning.
Through Shadow Vision, he could see the Demon God formed by gathering clouds in the sky, constantly spraying out clouds, attacking the ground.
Each attack was targeted at Lu Heng's position.
This meant that even though Lu Heng was hiding underground, he could not escape the lock-on of this being.
As he ran, Lu Heng continuously dodged left and right, avoiding the attacks of the dark cloud spear.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
With each strike of the real dark cloud spear, the ground shook violently.
In an instant, the sky shattered and the earth quaked, shaking the mountains.
This enraged Demon God seemed determined to completely destroy this world, a scene of apocalypse descending between heaven and earth.
Lu Heng pushed to his highest speed, breaking through to 200 meters per second.
With the spatial marker about 5 kilometers away from the Horned Demon Commander's lair, Lu Heng reached the marker location in just over twenty seconds at maximum speed, then burst out from underground and crashed into the spatial marker.
In a flash,
A buzzing noise rang in his ears, followed by the booming sounds of the sky crumbling and the earth splitting.
