Chapter 1083: The Battle of 1062 Begins_1
"Don't panic, this letter does not specify when the Lord of Blood Demon Sha will descend. Once I have assimilated the Tenth Seal, we shall have nothing to fear from him." Chu Qin seemed calm on the surface, but was slightly panicked deep down.
He might be facing the greatest challenge in history.
However, seeing Chu Qin's composed expression, the women all breathed a sigh of relief.
They believed that with Chu Qin present, everything would be resolved easily.
"This letter must remain confidential," Chu Qin said, glancing at the people from the Sanctum of Heaven and Earth and the Mountain and Sea Sanctuary.
If they knew that the Lord of Blood Demon Sha was about to descend, it would likely cause panic.
"My lord, what do you plan to do?" The Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable and Jiucail Xuan Nu saw through Chu Qin's thoughts and asked softly in unison.
"The only solution now is to accelerate the pace of breaking the seal," Chu Qin said, shaking his head slightly.
"Trouble!" Just then, an aged voice rang out.
All eyes turned to the source and saw an old man in a purple robe, leading a large group of people, tearing through the sky to arrive.
"Domain Lord of the Four Seas Holy Realm, Zixuan Tian Zun!" The Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable and Jiucail Xuan Nu exclaimed in surprise.
"Kirin Venerate, Xuan Nu, you're all here. Which one of you is the Dragon Venerate's Heir, Lord Chu Qin?" Zixuan Tian Zun asked, looking at the crowd.
"I am," replied Chu Qin. "What has happened?"
"Lord Chu, it's bad news. In our Four Seas Holy Realm, as we passed by No Return Mountain, we detected an evil aura soaring to the skies. The Blood Demon Fiends have collectively resurrected!" Zixuan Tian Zun replied.
"How many have revived?" Chu Qin pressed.
Zixuan Tian Zun's expression hardened. "No fewer than a million, and within them, one aura is terrifyingly powerful. Even I am no match for him."
"Zixuan Tian Zun, you're a Second-Rate Heavenly Venerate. That means this Blood Demon Fiend is at least a First-Rank Heavenly Venerate!" Jiucail Xuan Nu said, her expression turning grave.
"Lord Chu, that's right—where is Dragon Venerable?" Zixuan Tian Zun inquired.
"He should have gone to persuade others and hasn't returned yet," Chu Qin responded.
"The Heavenly Buddha (South Pole) Holy Realm, Demon Monster Holy Realm, Seven Stars (North Pole) Holy Realm, Qiankun Holy Realm, and Immeasurable Holy Realm have come to join the Dragon Venerate's Heir!"
At that moment, a chorus of resounding voices rose.
The onlookers turned to see tens of millions of people flying in unison from outside the Heavenly Tomb, all converging toward this place.
The sight was like cascading clouds, with an incredibly impressive momentum.
"These Four Great Holy Domains, usually so secluded, have all been persuaded by Dragon Venerable!" the Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable exclaimed in shock.
"When the safety of the entire Sanctuary and world is at stake, shutting themselves away would be tantamount to suicide," Zixuan Tian Zun said with a smile.
"With so many people, we should have no fear of the Lord of Blood Demon Sha!" Wang Qiu'er exclaimed.
"Another great battle," Bai Xiuxiu said with a smile. "How exciting."
They had all witnessed the battles between the Inner Universe and the Outer Universe, so they weren't too flustered at present.
Yet in his heart, Chu Qin still felt some unease; true strength was not something that could simply be measured in numbers.
Even so, with so many people present, his confidence was greatly bolstered.
"Heavenly Buddha Monk."
"Demon Monster Emperor."
"Seven Stars Lord"
"Qiankun Saint"
"We pay our respects to the Dragon Venerate's Heir!"
The Domain Lords of the Four Great Holy Domains bowed to Chu Qin in unison.
"Please rise," Chu Qin responded calmly.
"Zixuan Tian Zun, Xuan Nu, you're both here!" The Demon Monster Emperor turned to Zixuan Tian Zun and Jiucail Xuan Nu, a slight smile on his face.
"Yes, now all that's missing is the Unbounded Female Venerate, and the Eight Great Holy Domains will be united," Zixuan Tian Zun nodded in confirmation.
An Elder from the Immeasurable Holy Realm heard this and looked timidly towards Chu Qin.
"I've been here for a while." A pleasant-sounding female voice rang out, and everyone saw a stunningly beautiful woman floating over from the depths of the Heavenly Tomb, namely the direction of the Immortal King Tomb.
This person was none other than Chu Qin's firekeeper, the Unbounded Female Venerate, Xu Zhenyi.
Now that the great holy domains were gathered to face the enemy, Xu Zhenyi naturally had to come out to command the forces of the Immeasurable Holy Realm.
Xu Zhenyi was also someone with clear cut views on right and wrong. Having heard everything about the situation from Chu Qin's true form, she immediately set aside her prejudices to join the others in facing the enemy.
"The Unbounded Female Venerate has also come. Now, for the first time in history, all eight great holy domains are gathered together!" the Seven Stars Heavenly Honored said with a smile.
"Yes, who would have thought that the Blood Demon Fiend suddenly disappeared because he sealed himself away, waiting to bring the battle of the Primordial Era to the present!" The Qiankun Holy Realm Domain Lord spoke with a tense expression.
"If the predecessors couldn't defeat them, then let us be the ones to defeat them!" the Seven Stars Heavenly Honored followed.
"The key to this battle, I believe the Dragon Venerable has already made it very clear, is to buy time for Lord Chu Domain, because only Lord Chu Domain can kill the Lord of Blood Demon Sha," the Heavenly Buddha Monk said next.
"Actually, it might not be necessary to kill the Lord of Blood Demon Sha," Chu Qin interjected.
"Oh? Lord Chu Domain, what do you mean by that?" everyone asked, all surprised.
"The Lord of Blood Demon Sha is too powerful, and it's impossible to seal his time and power. That's why he wasn't reborn from the Blood Coffin but used the Gate of Time and Space to escape the constraints of time and return to the present," Chu Qin explained. "That is to say, as long as we destroy the Gate of Time and Space, we can stop the Lord of Blood Demon Sha from returning to the present. Although I would still need to go back to the Primordial Era to kill it, at least there will be more time."
"That's great!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had all seen firsthand or knew from records just how powerful the Lord of Blood Demon Sha was.
If the Lord of Blood Demon Sha wouldn't come, the battle would be much easier.
"Lord Chu Domain, we are willing to follow your command!" The people looked at each other and bowed together in unison.
"Let's not say anything more, we must win this battle!" Chu Qin said with a firm gaze.
"We must win this battle!" Following that, the domain lords of the seven great holy domains and the tens of millions of people present also cried out in unison.
Their voices echoed throughout the entire universe, with a momentum that shook the Nine Heavens.
"They're here!" Just then, Chu Qin's gaze turned to the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb, and the domain lords of the various great holy domains also hurriedly focused their attention there.
"So many Blood Demon Fiends have come!" the Heavenly Buddha Monk said, somewhat shocked.
"Go, defend the entrance, we must not let them through!" Chu Qin ordered.
"Yes!"
With that, Chu Qin led all the people of the holy domains towards the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb.
Outside the Heavenly Tomb was originally a Void.
But now, opposite them, was a vast "blood cloud."
Looking out, there were Blood Demon Fiends everywhere, their numbers probably exceeding a million.
Among these creatures were Blood Demon Fiends and also some monsters from Jiuyou Netherworld.
Some were worms millions of meters long, some were octopi with countless heads... In short, the monsters from Jiuyou Netherworld were each more hideous than the last.
"Ah, so many Blood Demon Fiends?"
"Where did they come from?"
"How come we never noticed them?"
Although they had long known that Blood Demon Fiends would invade the holy domains, they had not expected so many to come.
"Could it be there!" Chu Qin's pupils contracted slightly. The first thing he thought of was the mysterious substance beneath that ancient road.
At the time, Chu Qin was in a hurry when he came to the Holy Realm, but now thinking about it, that substance was probably no ordinary thing.
Thinking about it now was of no use, though.
"Lord Chu Qin, what should we do?" All the domain lords turned to Chu Qin, who without a doubt was now the pivotal leader.
"Charge before the Blood Demon Fiends assemble!" Chu Qin's eyes sharpened as he commanded.
"Alright!" The domain lords nodded in agreement.
