Chapter 332: The Grand Calamity Approaches
Chapter 332: The Grand Calamity Approaches
January 28th, 2025
After Chu Daoxuan was assigned to leave, Gu Yang issued strict orders to monitor the Nine States and prevent demon invasions.
First, there was the chaos caused by evil spirits.
Now, demons are invading.
It's clear to any discerning person that this is truly a chaotic era.
"Heroes are born in times of chaos!"
"The Primeval Ancient World is now in a chaotic era, and it's a perfect opportunity for the Divine Martial Empire!"
Gu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had already planned to dispatch troops to the Eastern Domain, suppress all sides, and expand the territory of the Divine Martial Empire.
In the current situation, the empire's actions will be much more convenient.
Of course, there are also hidden dangers.
If the demon forces are too powerful, they could pose a threat to the Divine Martial Empire as well.
With this thought in mind, Gu Yang, after the court session, immediately headed to the Gu family.
"I've come to see Father!"
"You're here regarding the demon clan's invasion, aren't you?"
Gu Qingfeng lifted his teacup, his expression calm as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yang's expression turned solemn, "Father's words are true. With the large-scale invasion of demons in the Primeval Ancient World, I fear the Nine States will also be affected—”
"The Nine States have already been invaded by demons!"
Gu Qingfeng's sudden words made Gu Yang's face freeze.
Seeing his reaction, Gu Qingfeng continued, "But you don't need to worry. Ever since the demon array was activated, I've destroyed all the arrays and invading demons, preventing a major disaster."
The moment the demon array was activated, Gu Qingfeng sensed it and acted, annihilating all the invading demons and arrays with a wave of his hand.
The Nine States are small.
But there are advantages to being small.
At Gu Qingfeng's current cultivation level, his divine sense can cover the entire Nine States.
Any unusual activity will be detected by him immediately.
This is the strength of a Holy King.
However, the Nine States are ultimately too small to accommodate an empire, and expansion is necessary for true advancement to an empire or even a divine empire.
Meanwhile, Gu Yang, upon hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, finally felt relief.
"With Father's presence in the Nine States, it's as solid as gold!"
"But... with the massive demon invasion in the Primeval Ancient World, there's a possibility of a repeat of what happened ten million years ago. Does Father have any thoughts on this?"
Gu Qingfeng's expression remained calm upon hearing this.
"When the enemy comes, we fight; when the flood comes, we build a dam. The demon calamity has been ongoing for a long time. This time, although we don't know why the demon clan chose to invade during the End of Dharma Era, there must be a reason for their actions.
At this point, we can only take things one step at a time!"
"Although the demon clan's foundation is not to be underestimated, the two clans have long been in an irreconcilable conflict.
This time, with the demon invasion, the Divine Martial Empire, as the human clan, should prioritize suppressing the demons!"
In the end, Gu Qingfeng offered a reminder.
He was concerned that Gu Yang might lose sight of the bigger picture.
In response, Gu Yang nodded, "Father's words align with my thoughts. This time, the Divine Martial Empire will dispatch troops to suppress the demons and, in the process, bring the various states under our control.
With this, I believe no other force will have any complaints."
The demons were invading.
Many territories in the Eastern Domain had already fallen.
As long as the Divine Martial Empire raised the banner of exterminating demons, killing all the demons in these states, and then bringing the states under their control, it would be a perfectly legitimate move.
Even if others were dissatisfied, they wouldn't be able to find any fault.
...
After Gu Yang left, Gu Qingfeng glanced at the information panel.
...
"Your mortal agent 'Gu Wu' has mobilized the entire Celestial Martial School to pacify and kill demons, and the school has won the hearts of the people!"
"Your mortal agent 'Gu Wu' was besieged by demons, and the Blood Sacrifice Holy Weapon, Reversed-Slash Semi-Holy, has bolstered the prestige of the human race!"
"Your mortal agent 'Hong Ye' issued orders to the entire Youming Pavilion, instructing all assassins to secretly hunt down demons, changing the views of many forces towards Youming Pavilion.
"Your mortal agent 'Hong Ye' successfully assassinated a Demon at the Eighth Level of Dao Palace Realm with her cultivation at the Second Level of Dao Palace Realm, shocking all sides!"
"Your mortal agent 'Hong Ye' was attacked by a Half-Holy Demon, severely wounded, but managed to escape by using her trump card at a critical moment!"
"Your mortal agent..."
"Your mortal agent 'Liu Shan's' family was invaded by demons. He fought valiantly but ultimately succumbed to the demon clan, dying a cruel death by disembowelment!"
"Your mortal agent 'Zhang Quan' escorted ten thousand civilians to safety, holding off the demons alone for three hours before perishing from exhaustion!"
"Your mortal agent..."
"Your mortal agent 'Gu Yu', under orders, led the Red Dust Immortal School's powerful cultivators to suppress the demons. With his Fourth Level of Dao Palace Realm cultivation, he defeated a Half-Holy Demon, demonstrating exceptional strength!"
"Your mortal agent 'Wang Junze' led the army in a fierce battle against the demon clan..."
...
The information panel for the Gu family's descendants showed no major issues, but the mortal agents' panel fully reflected the dire situation in the Primeval Ancient World.
Thousands of Mortal Agents.
Spread across the entire Primeval Ancient World.
And each Mortal Agent had their own thoughts, leading to the current situation.
Since the demon invasion, in just a few days, numerous Mortal Agents have fallen.
Among them, the strongest had reached the Dao Palace Realm, and even the weakest were at the Divine Transformation Realm.
After all, every Mortal Agent had considerable talent, and after years of cultivation, breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm was not a problem.
"From the invasions of demons in the past, it seems that the Demon Realm also has a profound foundation, just like the Primordial Ancient Land."
Gu Qingfeng thought to himself.
However.
The probability of that was low.
Whether in the human race or the Demon Clan, the existence of such a powerful being was as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn's horn.
Unless it was a critical moment, such a powerful being would not likely take action.
But the battle ten million years ago had already revealed many things.
A human Great Emperor had ventured into the Demon Realm, only to return empty-handed.
This was enough proof that there were indeed Great Emperors among the demons.
"When the sky falls, there will be someone to hold it up. The foundation of the Primeval Ancient World since ancient times is not so easily shaken. However, this battle is destined to have far-reaching consequences..."
Gu Qingfeng looked up at the sky, and in his eyes, it seemed as if a sky of blood was about to appear.
This blood-red color!
It was Slaughter Qi!
When a certain number of sentient beings in the heavens and earth perished, Slaughter Qi would naturally emerge.
As the Slaughter Qi grew denser, it would give birth to something called Fate Qi.
At that time.
A grand calamity would naturally occur.
Regarding the grand calamity.
Gu Qingfeng now had a different perspective.
The resources of the heavens and earth were limited.
When the number of sentient beings increased, leading to a resource shortage, war would naturally break out.
At this time.
With the abundance of Slaughter Qi.
The grand calamity would arrive.
During the previous era of evil spirits, the Slaughter Qi in the heavens and earth had already increased significantly. Now, with the demon invasion, in just a few days, the Slaughter Qi in the heavens and earth had intensified even further.
Without a doubt.
If this situation continued, a grand calamity would be born in this world.
"A grand calamity!"
"But also a great opportunity!"
"There will undoubtedly be numerous wave riders born, and it remains to be seen who can truly dominate an era and become the highest existence!"
Gu Qingfeng had a premonition that this grand calamity would give birth to a Great Emperor.
Or even.
More than just one Great Emperor.
After all, in Gu Qingfeng's opinion, he was destined to achieve the Great Emperor realm in this lifetime.
Now, it was up to others to see if they could reach this step as well.
Just then.
Gu Qingfeng's expression shifted slightly, and his figure suddenly disappeared from his original spot.
---
Ancient Beast Mountains.
A sea of blood enveloped the area, and an ancient altar appeared, emitting a powerful Demon Qi. Massive Demons emerged from it, and in a short time, over ten thousand demons had gathered.
"I never expected that there would be a Demon Array hidden in the Ancient Beast Mountains, almost deceiving even me!"
Gu Qingfeng slowly stepped out of the void, gazing at the tens of thousands of demons before him with a calm and unperturbed voice.
His words.
Caused the expressions of the countless demons present to change dramatically.
The leader, a middle-aged demon exuding a formidable aura, looked particularly grim.
"A human expert!"
Chi Tianluo's heart grew heavy as he looked at Gu Qingfeng.
He was a Half Saint, just one step away from the Demon Lord realm, on par with the Sage realm.
In this age of declining laws, he was a top-tier expert, whether in the Demon Realm or the Primeval Ancient World.
However.
When facing Gu Qingfeng, Chi Tianluo felt a profound sense of unfathomability.
Gu Qingfeng stood there like an endless abyss, ready to devour everything in its path.
This sudden change.
Left Chi Tianluo even more astonished.
"Who are you? Could you be one of the ancient human saints?"
Chi Tianluo did not rush to attack.
Gu Qingfeng also realized that the demon was trying to buy time, but he did not expose him.
"I am Gu Qingfeng. You may have heard of my name."
"Gu Qingfeng..."
Chi Tianluo's expression flickered, and then he seemed to recall something, his face changing dramatically.
"You're the human expert who appeared in the Demon Realm decades ago!"
Gu Qingfeng!
Chi Tianluo remembered everything.
Decades ago, a powerful human cultivator appeared in the Demon Realm, wielding thunderous might to annihilate the Heaven Demon Sanctuary and slay the Canglong Demon Lord, a powerful figure at the Ninth Heaven of Sagehood. This event sent shockwaves throughout the Demon Realm.
In the Age of Decline, a Ninth Heaven Sage was an invincible existence, and the Canglong Demon Lord was no exception. Renowned in the Primeval Ancient World, his strength was formidable even in ancient times.
But despite his power, the Canglong Demon Lord met his end at the hands of Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng's name spread throughout the Demon Realm, but it wasn't until now that the true extent of his strength was revealed.
As Gu Qingfeng stood in the void, his expression unreadable, Chi Tianluo's face turned ashen. He had just escaped the Demon Realm, only to encounter a peerless cultivator capable of slaying the Canglong Demon Lord.
Gu Qingfeng's ability to defeat a Ninth Heaven Sage meant that he, too, was at least a Ninth Heaven Sage, perhaps even a Great Sage.
Chi Tianluo's soul trembled with fear, and as he opened his mouth to beg for mercy, a terrifying force enveloped him. In an instant, Gu Qingfeng had searched through his memories, uncovering the Demon Realm's intentions.
Chi Tianluo and the other demons were from the Ancient Mountain Sanctuary, a force with a heritage dating back to ancient times. Though no Great Emperor had emerged from their ranks, they had produced more than one Empire Aspirant.
The Ancient Mountain Sanctuary's foundation was solid, and even in the Age of Decline, they boasted over twenty Half-Saints. Chi Tianluo was just one of their Half-Saint elders.
The Ancient Mountain Sanctuary's actions were in response to a decree from the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court, declaring war on the human race.
The Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court was no ordinary force; it was the oldest and most mysterious power in the Demon Realm, rumored to be the ancestral land of the Demon Clan. Countless generations of powerful demons had honed their skills within its confines.
Upon learning of the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court's involvement, Gu Qingfeng's brows furrowed. "As the ancestral land of the Demon Clan, the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court must have a Great Emperor in residence. The question is, how many?"
"No wonder the Demon Realm is invading en masse. They're following the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court's orders." Gu Qingfeng's heart sank.
He understood that with the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court's involvement, the war between the two races would be relentless.
Gazing at the other demons from the Ancient Mountain Sanctuary, Gu Qingfeng's eyes turned cold. With a casual palm strike, over ten thousand demons perished without a sound, their screams silenced in an instant.
To Gu Qingfeng, these Half-Saints were nothing more than ants to be crushed.
As he prepared to destroy the array, a terrifying and ancient force erupted from within, and a horrifying palm emerged.
The space shattered, and the world seemed to dim under the weight of this power.
Unfazed, Gu Qingfeng struck back with his own palm, and in the clash, the array's palm exploded. A pained roar echoed from within.
