Chapter 579: The True Demons Descend!
Ancestor Demon Realm.
Ma, harnessing the power of the Ancestor Demon Realm through array formations, pierced through the void and, following the coordinates, opened up a Void Passage.
Behind the ashy mist, a clear world emerged, none other than the Great Xuan World.
"Shall we enter?"
True Demon Hui gazed intently at the world behind the Void Passage and spoke in a deep voice.
Currently, it was the peak of the Void Tide's intensity, and during this tide, the will of the heavens and earth in any world would be primarily focused on countering the void's impact, leaving little strength to spare against external lifeforms' invasions.
At this moment, crossing this passage would allow their true bodies to directly reach the Great Xuan World. Even if their strength in that world was not as formidable as when they were in the Ancestor Demon Realm, it would still be sufficient to dominate an entire realm.
However...
The prerequisite was that the world on the other side was an uncivilized world.
During the previous attempt, they had witnessed a lifeform in that world who possessed a divine armament and had reached the lower eighth stage of the divine realm, ready to step into the divine realm at any moment. By now, this lifeform must have truly attained that level!
Once a lifeform from an uncivilized world ascends to the divine realm, they can devour the world's origin and become the sovereign of a realm. In that case, the situation would be different, as even during the Void Tide, this lifeform could still harness the world's power for its own use!
After all,
A divine realm lifeform becoming a world lord is different from the will of heaven and earth, which merely follows the rules. The will of heaven and earth would prioritize maintaining the strength of the realm's boundary and protecting the world itself, while a divine realm lifeform can act on its own accord, even sacrificing half of the world during a crisis, allowing it to be destroyed by the Void Tide, and forcibly harnessing the world's power to fight desperately!
This situation would be very tricky.
Even if they could win, it would be challenging to preserve that world. A divine realm lifeform becoming a world lord could, at the very least, destroy an entire realm and take their enemies down with them, as long as the gap in strength wasn't too vast.
As for the strength of the lifeform on the other side, they had all witnessed it. Once the lower eighth stage is broken through, and with the possession of a divine armament, their strength could easily reach the Second Level Heaven. Even with just one or two world years, it would be sufficient to merge with the world's origin and become a world lord.
A Second Level Heaven world lord.
Outside, it might not be much, but neither Hui nor Wang feared it.
However, within the lifeform's own world, Hui and Wang had no confidence in defeating them. Even if their strengths were at the peak of the Second Level Heaven, the world lord's power within its own world would be too overwhelming.
Even if Ma, with his strength at the peak of the Third Level Heaven, had the confidence to defeat the opponent, it would still be impossible to control them within their own world. If the opponent fought desperately, the situation might not be favorable.
Moreover,
There might be other unknown opponents or unseen forces in the Vanggu Void.
"Let's go."
"But this is the Demon Sovereign's mission."
Ma spoke slowly, "Are you going to disobey the Demon Sovereign's orders?"
Hui shook her head.
Of course, they dared not defy the orders, but the current situation was complex. With just the three of them, conquering the world on the other side would be extremely challenging. If they failed to complete the mission, it wouldn't be a good outcome either.
Wang stared at the Great Xuan World behind the Ashy Cyclone and said, "Perhaps the Demon Sovereign has other plans. In any case, we should not make assumptions. Since the Demon Sovereign has commanded us to act, let's proceed without delay."
After speaking,
She glanced at Ma and asked, "Are you confident you can defeat that world lord?"
Ma fixed his gaze on the Ashy Cyclone, not looking at her, and in his mind, images of Chen Mu appeared. He recalled Chen Mu's attempt to reach across realms from the bottom of the Earth Abyss, injuring the opponent with a single move, but ultimately failing to kill them. He also remembered the scene where the opponent held a divine armament and annihilated his entire army in one strike.
Indeed, the opponent had caught up step by step from being a mere lower divine ant in such a short time. Even with Ma's pride, he had to acknowledge that the opponent's talent and quality were extraordinary, perhaps even surpassing his own.
However.
Talent was still just talent.
Even if the opponent had grasped the essence of the Void Power, and had become a world lord, they were still just a newly ascended divine realm lifeform! In a short one world year, there wouldn't be enough time to cultivate the divine power secret art. The opponent, at most, would be at the Second Level Heaven, and even as a world lord with the world's power, it wouldn't change the fact that they were still a newly ascended divine realm lifeform!
"Hmph."
In response to Wang's words, Ma did not answer but instead let out a cold snort.
If it came to a fight,
of course, he would be the victor!
But he wasn't confident in preserving the world while defeating the opponent.
After all, the opponent was a world lord, and if they were determined to fight to the death, sacrificing their world, it would be challenging to control the situation unless Ma's strength reached the Fourth Level Heaven.
Nevertheless, Wang's words served as a reminder. In such a situation, the Demon Sovereign would surely have anticipated this, and since they were still ordered to carry out the mission, they should follow the original plan and not speculate on the Demon Sovereign's intentions.
"Wang, Hui, you will assist me in defeating the world lord on the other side. You will be responsible for suppressing the world itself and try to prevent its destruction during our confrontation."
Ma spoke in a deep voice.
It was indeed strange that they, as invaders, had to consider preserving the other world.
But that was the reality; when conquering an unclaimed world, one could simply raid and plunder, but with a world that had a World Lord, there were many factors to consider.
"Alright."
Wang and Hui had no objections at this moment.
With a World Lord already present on the opposing side, sending a large demon army below the Divine Realm would be suicidal. Only with their Divine Realm existence could they stabilize the situation and gradually send in more demon forces for occupation.
However, just as the three were about to act, the sky suddenly changed. Dark clouds gathered, and within the murky and deep darkness, a deep blue streak appeared, like a meteor tearing through the heavens. Accompanying this was an overwhelming aura, descending upon them with a mighty boom.
"Why haven't you taken action yet?!"
A chilling voice echoed within the oppressive aura.
From the deep blue light, a demonic shadow emerged, seemingly smaller than the three true demons, Ma, Wang, and Hui. But the aura emanating from its body was far beyond what the three could compare to.
It was Minggui, one of Shangmang Demon Sovereign's generals!
In the demon clan, those who had not yet reached the Divine Realm were mostly nameless. Only those approaching or having entered the Divine Realm would possess a name, often consisting of a single character.
In the Ancestor Demon Realm, only those at the Fourth Heaven Tier and above could have a two-character true name and hold the esteemed position of a general!
"General Minggui."
Wang and Hui immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing the newcomer.
Even the proud Ma lowered his head and offered a respectful bow.
General Minggui wasn't among the top figures among the generals, but as far as Ma knew, his strength had reached the peak of the Fourth Heaven Tier, far beyond Ma's capabilities. Killing him would likely require just a single move; there was a qualitative difference between them!
Although Ma believed he had decent talent and good aptitude, and was confident in reaching the Fourth Heaven Tier, he was currently at the peak of the Third Heaven Tier. But until he crossed that boundary, he couldn't compare. The demon clan had strict hierarchies, and while Ma was arrogant before Wang, Hui, and others, he had to respectfully lower his head before a general.
"We were just about to take action."
Ma spoke in a low voice.
General Minggui glanced at him and then turned his gaze to the nearby ashy cyclone, saying, "Go ahead, but the plan can be slightly adjusted. You only need to lure out the World Lord, and then I'll personally take action to eliminate him!"
At Minggui's words, Ma's eyebrows furrowed slightly, while Wang and Hui's hearts stirred.
Their different reactions had a reason. Wang and Hui weren't the leaders of this invasion; no matter who commanded the army, as long as they conquered the opposing world, their rewards would be the same. Now that General Minggui was taking charge, the mission was almost guaranteed success, and they naturally felt relieved.
But Ma was different. He needed the rewards from this mission to obtain a precious treasure, which he could use to comprehend the Creation Mystery of the Creation Lineage. Once he understood it, he could cultivate a more powerful Divine Power Secret Art, and the path to the Fourth Heaven Tier would be wide open for him.
Ma had hoped that he would be granted a powerful temporary divine armament or additional support to ensure the mission's success, but instead, General Minggui had taken over.
"After completing this task, your rewards will remain unchanged."
General Minggui seemed to see through Ma's thoughts as he turned his gaze towards him and spoke indifferently.
In a 1619 book, there was no mistake!
Upon hearing this, Ma's body relaxed, and he had no further objections.
"Ma, I know you need the Creation Seven-Leaf Flower to comprehend the Creation Mystery. Complete this mission well, and even if your accumulated merits are insufficient, I can help you obtain one. The Demon Sovereign will surely be pleased to have another general under his command."
General Minggui looked at Ma and spoke calmly.
"Yes."
Ma deeply lowered his head in acknowledgment, and when he lifted his head again, his eyes gleamed sharply, surrounded by a surging demonic aura. He looked towards the void channel leading to the Great Xuan World and then took a step forward, charging into it.
"You two, go as well."
General Minggui glanced at Wang and Hui beside him.
"Yes."
Wang and Hui immediately responded and transformed into two demonic shadows, following Ma into the ashy cyclone.
General Minggui remained alone beside the ashy cyclone, his rough hand supporting his angular chin as he stared at it, a contemplative expression on his face.
A world with a World Lord, yet the original invasion plan was still being executed, and this world happened to be on the edge of the Vanggu Void... Perhaps this was a high-stakes game between powerful figures? General Minggui quickly shook his head again.
No matter what, the intentions of the Demon Sovereigns were not for him to speculate; he only needed to focus on his own tasks. As a newly born Divine Realm Lord, his strength was insignificant, and when it was time to act, he must strike with lethal precision, ensuring no unnecessary collateral damage.
...
Great Xuan World.
The back mountains of the Seven Mysteries Sect.
After numerous expansions, the back mountains had become vast, accommodating thousands of Grandmasters to gather and discuss their insights. Deeper within, Blood Exchange Realm cultivators and Heaven-Man experts resided.
Xuantian Dao Lord, Heavenly Lake Island Master, and others had all returned from the Origin Land and were currently gathered in the back mountains of the Seven Mysteries Sect.
As several of the top Heaven-Man experts were in deep discussion, their expressions suddenly changed, and they all looked up at the sky in unison. Following their lead, other Heaven-Man cultivators nearby also sensed the anomaly and abruptly stood up, gazing at the sky.
This action quickly spread, and soon, the Blood Exchange cultivators on the outer edges and the numerous Bone Marrow Grandmasters on the periphery also rose one after another, their faces solemn as they stared intently at the sky.
Crack!
At that moment, everyone heard a sound akin to ice shattering beside their ears.
High up in the distant sky, a visible crack appeared and rapidly expanded, eventually forming a shattered void that collapsed, transforming into a swirling vortex filled with a terrifying aura.
"What is that?"
"There's demon energy! It's the Demon Clan, they're here again!"
A brief silence fell over the back mountains of the Seven Mysteries Sect, but it was soon broken as if a pot had been set to boil. In an instant, numerous figures soared out of the valley and ascended into the sky, with only a few Grandmasters who couldn't fly using their techniques to leap multiple times before reaching a nearby mountain peak, gazing upwards.
Looking at the ashy cyclone in the sky and sensing the immense demon energy behind it, everyone understood that this vortex likely connected directly to the Ancestor Demon Realm! The last time, the Demon Clan's void channel had opened in the far north of the Great Xuan World, but this time, it had opened directly within the Cold Northern Land, right above Yuzhou.
The Demon Calamity had returned!
More and more people became aware of the anomaly, and chaos spread throughout the Seven Mysteries Sect. True Disciples, Inner Disciples, Outer Disciples, and even the lowly clerks all looked up in shock, gazing at the sky with wide eyes.
Not only the disciples of the Seven Mysteries Sect, but also the officials in Yuzhou's prefecture, the various county towns, and even the remote villages—billions of commoners instinctively looked up, their faces filled with astonishment as they witnessed the dramatic changes in the sky.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to fall into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared at the ashy cyclone, feeling as if some mysterious force were obscuring their vision and muffling all sounds. In that instant, they could only hear their own heartbeats.
Thump,
Thump,
Thump,
Countless heartbeats passed, and no one knew how long it had been when the ashy cyclone finally changed!
"It's coming!"
Xuantian Dao Lord's eyes gleamed sharply, standing alongside Donglin Sword Venerable, Heavenly Lake Island Master, Liudao Alliance Lord, and many other top-tier Heaven-Man experts.
All the Heaven-Man experts and Blood Exchange cultivators fixed their gazes on the ashy cyclone, their spiritual armaments at the ready, prepared to face the Demon Clan's army.
But.
In the next moment, the ashy cyclone surged, and from within, a demonic figure emerged! There was no grand army with overwhelming demonic energy, only a single figure clad in black armor, holding a long spear, who stepped out of the vortex and stood tall in the heavens, overlooking the world.
Hum!
With just a glance, the entire world seemed to be filled with infinite weight, causing the floating air to sink. The numerous Grandmasters and Blood Exchange cultivators who had formed arrays in mid-air instantly paled!
They felt a pressure so overwhelming that it was hard to estimate, as if the entire sky were caving in. Their bodies couldn't maintain flight, and they were forced to descend by the sinking air.
Crash! Crash!!
Thousands of Grandmaster-level cultivators and hundreds of Blood Exchange Realm cultivators fell from the sky like dumplings.
Not only them, but even Xuantian Dao Lord, Donglin Sword Venerable, and the others found their bodies sinking, struggling to maintain flight. Their descent was slower, but they too felt a suffocating pressure that left them breathless.
Divine Realm.
At this moment, regardless of who it was, whether Xuantian Dao Lord, Liudao Alliance Lord, or the Grandmasters below, a clear thought emerged in their minds—
The black demonic figure, having crossed the ashy cyclone and descended upon the Great Xuan World, stood tall in the sky, exuding a suffocating pressure and an unmatched might. There was no doubt that he was a—
Divine Realm True Demon!
