Chapter 723: 723
Dawn City .
Lu Sheng slowly put the information sheet down . He rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache .
“The seven-colored dragons have gone missing completely . I can’t find any clues . Sardine has vanished completely as well . This is going to be difficult…”
The information he received stated that the Light God system and the Shadow God system were at it again .
The Holy Light Army and the Dark Knights were having an all-out war in Olan Nation, several countries away .
Olan Nation was now reduced to a land of cinders and ruins . Civilians in the hundreds of millions had lost their homes, and many had lost their lives .
“The dozen god nations in the starry skies are also fighting against each other now . There are also higher gods with formidable god powers in the fray . ”
Lu Sheng had never fought against a real god nation before . He did not know how he would measure up against a god nation with a real god .
If it were an incarnation or clone of the gods in the form of saints, he was confident in holding his own . However, the combat strength of a true god inside and outside of his god nation was as different as the skies were from the earth .
An apt analogy would be to use a great general who led a great army . Dueling an opponent as a general and leading a charge against another army were on two different levels .
“Looks like I’ll have to test the limits of my combat strength as quickly as possible . I should determine which rank my power belongs to in this world,” Lu Sheng muttered to himself . He stood up . The words on the information sheets on the table faded, and the sheets were now a stack of meaningless blank paper .
He exited his study and listened carefully for any sounds outside his daughter Hongye’s door . When he was sure that she was doing her homework, he went down into his secret underground chamber, feeling at ease .
The underground space under the mansion was huge . It was almost twice the size of the mansion . There were still many vacant spots .
Lu Sheng soon reached a special cave lines with countless runes as he walked along the tunnel .
He closed the door to the cave behind him, and activated a formation to lock it .
‘I’ve been devouring abyssal feudal lords of the layers 30 and above . Their strength was at most at the level of demigods . They’re not difficult to deal with . The powerful ones are those dwelling below the 30th layer…’
From the information he obtained, Lu Sheng learned that the abyss was described as bottomless . Nobody knew how many layers it actually had .
Even the so-called abyssal consciousness was the collective body of will born from the first 100 layers . The layers below that were still shrouded in mystery .
It was like an extremely huge cavern which kept extending downward .
Lu Sheng took out the materials he had prepared beforehand . He added more high-quality ingredients to the materials he’d used to summon the feudal lords before this .
The red dragon crystal was still useful . A powerful adult red dragon crystal was a nice treat even for the more powerful abyssal feudal lords .
Lu Sheng had used this dragon crystal and the other materials many times before . After all, the abyssal feudal lords did not have to return to the abyss after being summoned . Hence, his resources were not expended . Sometimes, he could even obtain some treasures from the abyssal feudal lords he summoned before and add them to the pool .
After a preparation of 30 minutes . Lu Sheng started to activate the Abyssal Summoning Formation with familiar movements .
The irregular polygonal formation started to glow with dark red runes . Blood-red mist rose from the lines of the formation .
‘This time, let’s go deeper than the 30th layer… I hope that I can contact a feudal lord . ’ Lu Sheng was looking forward to it in his heart .
The feudal lords did not exist in every single layer . Some of the abyssal layers could not even accommodate any form of life . Even abyssal creatures could not stay for long in those places .
The formation shook slightly . The blood mist rising from it started forming unintelligible symbols .
The symbols gathered around the center of the formation . A blood-red Transport Door the height of a person was soon formed .
Scorching air laced with poison which was not of the main plane slowly seeped through the Transport Door .
“I… the great Mystoca, the abyss’s Cheater, the Burner, the Dragon of Scorched Lands, the Spreader of Fear, answer your call!”
A majestic roar with a prolonged ending came from the Transport Door .
At the same time, a dark red circle started spreading in all directions with the Transport Door as the center .
In the cave where Lu Sheng stood, the formation runes around him started shining brightly . They started working to resist the invasion of the formidable abyssal feudal lord’s power light ring .
‘This power wave is even stronger than the previous feudal lords combined… It’s almost half of my main body’s strength…’ Lu Sheng licked his lips .
“Who’s summoning me? Offer up your soul . I shall grant you your wish in the name of the just balance!” Mystoca shouted again .
Lu Sheng organized his thoughts . He quickly put on an act and spoke loudly in fear and trepidation, “Oh great feudal lord, Mystoca! It is I, the humblest seven-colored dragon, Omis, from the main plane, who summoned you here . ”
He spoke using the language of the abyss . However, there was an obvious accent of the dragons in his speech .
“A seven-colored dragon?”
Mystoca was clearly befuddled . The seven-colored dragons were almost extinct in all the other planes . Although the soul of a seven-colored dragon was not special to him, some feudal lords loved to collect the souls of these rare dragon breeds . He should be able to sell it for a good price .

“Tell me your wish . Enter into a contract with me . With your soul as the price, I will fulfill your desires!” Mystoca was quite satisfied with this summoning .
“I, Omis, willingly offer up my soul as the price . I ask for the great abyssal feudal lord, master Mystoca, to come into this world, destroy my enemies and burn them to cinders!” Lu Sheng replied to Mystoca’s requirements of entering a contract in a voice laced with indignation and rage .
Level 51! According to the records, this was already equivalent to a being with middle-ranked god power . In the abyssal level which he ruled over, this abyssal feudal lord could easily mimic the combat strength of a true god with middle-ranked god powers in his own god nation .
Lu Sheng made a rough estimation of his own strength . His main body should belong to the level of a slightly powerful middle god . The difference between a higher god and a middle god was great . It was not just a magnitude of two . Hence, he did not think that he was ready to fight it out with a higher god in his own turf .
He was the equivalent of a middle god in his own god nation .
With this conclusion, many of Lu Sheng’s thoughts were now clarified .
“Well then, who are your enemies? I’m about to transmigrate there, lead me to your enemies!” Mystoca ordered him loudly .
“My enemies will be here shortly . Esteemed feudal lord Mystoca, they are capable of high-ranked teleportation arts . My tribesmen and I are powerless to stop them,” Lu Sheng complained loudly .
51st abyssal layer . Land Devoid of Light .
Mystoca beat his huge pair of wings formed with molten rocks . He looked at the red Transport Door before him, and was just about to shrink himself and head toward the main plane .
“This can’t be right… Why am I not sensing any killing intent or ill will from the other side? Also, I can’t even smell the despair of the summoner…” He began to hesitate .
He heard that the feudal lords of the other layers had been strangely summoned by summoners, and they vanished mysteriously…
‘This won’t do… I must be careful . ’
Mystoca had almost plunged into the Transport Door . He immediately slowed down .
“Since your enemies aren’t here yet, we shall wait until they’ve arrived . Regardless of your foe, I’ll instantly wipe them away . I’ll burn them down and char them with the ground they’re standing on!” He put his might on full display . However, he did not budge his colossal body .
“Oh great Mystoca! It’s taking a great toll on me just to maintain this formation…”
“There’s no need for haste . The merciful Mystoca will aid you in stabilizing the Transport Formation . ” Mystoca waved his arm magnanimously .
“Thank you, feudal lord . Then I shall—”

“Bam!”
Suddenly, there was a loud sound from the Transport Formation .
“They’re here!” A shrill shout came .
Mystoca was also called the Cheater . He had thousands of years of experience in cheating . When he saw this scene, the doubt in his heart grew .
He snorted internally . However, he patronized Lu Sheng’s act with his words . “It’s alright . Mystoca is keeping an eye on you . With my power, nobody can escape the fate from being burnt to a crisp!”
‘How can there be such a coincidence . I’ve just told you that we’ll wait, and your enemies have suddenly appeared out of thin air . ’
“Oh great Mystoca… sacrifice… sacrifice… I’ll offer you my all as sacrifice! Please, come into this world!”
Faint pulses of a familiar and formidable wave came from the formation .
Divinity!
Mystoca’s eyes snapped open . He immediately recognized the source of this wave . This summoner was ready to pay a Divinity point as the price .
He greedily licked his lips . He was feeling slightly impatient now . However, the doubt in his heart quickly suppressed his greed .
“Hmm, you’re even using Divinity to lure me out now? I was unsure if you were a conman before, but when you produced this Divinity, I’m 100 percent sure that this summoning is a hoax!”
He flapped his wings . Vast abyssal power started carrying his colossal dragon body . He was ready to leave .
“Alright, you carry on with your little game . This feudal lord is leaving . You’re thinking of duping the great Mystoca with this crude hoax? How preposterous!”
He listened to the wails and screams coming from the Transport Door with a smirk . There were even the despair and pain from the souls of seven-colored dragons .
“What a lifelike performance . ” Although he had decided to leave, he was still having second thoughts .
This lifelike flow of events did not seem to be a hoax .
After hesitating, and with his greed over the sacrifices, Mystoca eventually decided to give it a try .
He paused slightly and slowly moved closer to the Transport Door . He shrunk his body and inserted an index finger through the Transport Door .

‘I’ll just take a look . Even if there’s a problem, I can just move quickly, snatch the sacrifices away, and return . There won’t be a problem!’ He made the decision . After all, as long as he did not travel over to the other plane, there would not be an issue .
His sharp, black finger inched toward the red light emanating from the Transport Door .
Just when he was about to touch the red light, Mystoca hesitated again .
‘Forget it . It’s just some sacrifice . If there’s really trouble on the other side, my gains might not even make up for my loss . ’ He shook his head slightly . He decided to give up .
There were many sacrificial offerings . Even if the sacrifice this time was equivalent to several hundred offerings, it would still be a loss for him if anything were to go awry .
He retracted his index finger .
However, he suddenly noticed that he could not pull his finger back!
Mystoca looked down . Without him noticing, the Transport Door had grown a row of human legs . It moved toward him of its own accord!
“No way…” Mystoca had a bad feeling about this .
‘Could this really be happening?!’
He could not believe that having survived for tens of thousands of years, he would still fall prey to this simple trick .
“I—”
He did not even manage to utter the next word when numerous black arms reached out from the Transport Door toward him .
Some of the hands were clasped over his mouth . The others grabbed hold of his body like it was a race . An unimaginably terrifying force pulled on him with a tearing sound .
He instantly plunged into the Transport Door .
