The Dark Bible was a supreme treasure crafted by the Lord of Destruction. Whoever held this book could command all demons and become their supreme ruler.
Abyssal demons had been one of the peak races of the Dark Abyss since ancient times, and also one of the greatest threats to humanity.
Among the demons, there was no shortage of sixth-tier demons, to say nothing of fifth-tier ones.
The Dark Bible could summon demons from the Dark Abyss through the power of space-time.
However, the Dark Bible was already damaged and could not unleash its true power. Its current maximum limit was summoning fifth-tier Great Demon Lords.
"Your Majesty the Lightning Emperor, I wonder if this item might be of help?" Shi Feng pulled the heavy Dark Bible from his backpack. The dense dark power emanating from the book was enough to make one's heart tremble just by looking at it.
NPCs without a specific quest could not seize anything a player possessed, so Shi Feng wasn't afraid of the Dark Bible being taken from him. There would be no consequences for bringing it out. Though NPCs couldn't seize it, they could still use it.
However, Shi Feng wasn't certain whether Lightning Emperor Caesar could use the Dark Bible in his current state.
"The Dark Bible!" Lightning Emperor Caesar recognized it at first glance, his expression filled with astonishment. "I never imagined a little fellow like you could obtain such a treasure. What a pity the Dark Bible is damaged and cannot unleash its true power. Otherwise, with its original power alone, it could easily seal and open the passage to the Dark Abyss."
Shi Feng was shocked to hear this.
The passage to the Dark Abyss was not so easily opened or closed. Otherwise, the War God Temple wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to seek the Seven Supreme Treasures to suppress the inter-realm passage.
Yet from Lightning Emperor Caesar's words, the Dark Bible could casually open and close the passage to the Dark Abyss.
This meant that the Dark Bible in its complete state was an item no lesser than the Seven Supreme Treasures.
"Although this Dark Bible is damaged, it can indeed be of help." Lightning Emperor Caesar waved his hand, and the Dark Bible flew toward the chasm. "Little one, get away from here first."
Shi Feng naturally didn't dare linger. He immediately retreated from the Thunder Beast Courtyard.
A half-god's oppressive aura was no joke. Before, Lightning Emperor Caesar had only locked him down with his aura, rendering him unable to move. If a half-god made even the slightest move, he would likely be annihilated in an instant.
After Shi Feng left the Thunder Beast Courtyard, the density of magical elements in the entire courtyard surged several times over. Above the Thunder Beast Courtyard, a massive gate of white bones appeared — far grander and more imposing than the Demon Gate Shi Feng had summoned when calling a third-tier demon. The entire Demon Gate loomed like a mountain, its oppressive pressure so immense that the very space of the Thunder Beast Courtyard seemed to freeze solid.
"So this is the Demon Gate that a half-god can summon?" Shi Feng gazed upon the towering Demon Gate and finally understood the terror of the Dark Bible. No wonder so many NPCs in the Divine Realm were so fervently obsessed with it. The power it had displayed now was merely the tip of the iceberg.
If during battle one could summon a demon legion, who could possibly be a match?
Whether a fifth-tier player could even defeat a single fifth-tier Great Demon Lord was questionable, let alone an entire group — while also facing a fifth-tier summoner at the same time.
That alone was enough to dominate all fifth-tier classes.
If the Dark Bible were in its complete state, even a mere fifth-tier class could stand against sixth-tier divine-grade players and sixth-tier gods.
