Chapter 93
“Be cautious, this is not the Nine Heavens Realm! The Ancient Desolate Demon Realm has developed here for over a million years, and it’s unpredictable to what extent these heavenly demons have evolved!”
“Moreover, this time we are venturing deep inside, making it extremely likely for us to encounter attacks from heavenly demons!” the Second Elder reminded.
Although the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm was sealed, it allowed the heavenly demons to develop over time. The million years of undisturbed growth also provided the heavenly demons ample time to evolve.
“The final seal in the deepest part hasn’t loosened yet, so the oldest heavenly demons can’t come out for the time being!” the Great Elder said indifferently. “The outer heavenly demons, although fairly strong, are not worth mentioning.”
In the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm, there are two distinct areas: the outer region and the deeper parts.
The seal in the deeper parts has remained intact for a million years, with no one venturing there, so the situation inside is unknown. However, a few years ago, this seal suddenly loosened, allowing some heavenly demons to almost break free.
This incident prompted various forces to send people to reseal it. Now, it has been completely resealed, allowing Jiang Chen and others to venture there.
As for the outer heavenly demons, despite their numbers, their growth is frequently hampered by the various forces of the Nine Heavens Realm who regularly launch cleansing operations, preventing them from cultivating strong warriors.
However, some heavenly demons have managed to grow to the Great Saint Realm, but they are few and far between.
“We’ve arrived!” Jiang Chen’s voice suddenly rang out, pulling everyone’s attention to the front.
In the dark mist, a faint light emerged.
It was a plant not even half a meter tall, with its branches coiling like white jade, and a fist-sized fruit hanging from its delicate branches – the Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
This unique heavenly material can only grow in the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm under extremely harsh conditions. The rareness of this fruit means that it may not appear even in tens of thousands of years.
“Here we go! As long as we consume this Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Snow Moon Immortal’s root problem can be completely eradicated!” the Eighth Elder said with a smile, congratulating Snow Moon Immortal.
Mu Jianxue just responded lightly, without much emotion.
“Be careful!” the Great Elder warned, sensing something amiss.
The message of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit’s appearance seemed too convenient, raising their suspicion. This was why they gathered so many powerful individuals for this trip.
After a long wait, a dazzling white light burst forth, dispersing the surrounding mist.
As Jiang Chen reached out to collect the fruit, ancient texts surged out like insects, activating an ancient array that sealed off the space around them, trapping everyone inside.
Boom.
The Eighth and Ninth Elders instantly made their move, launching their attacks towards the Primordial Holy Son.
Among this group, the most powerful was the Primordial Holy Son, followed by the First Elder, Second Elder, and Snow Moon Immortal. However, there were those who ranked even higher.
As soon as the two elders initiated their attack, the First and Second Elders, in perfect sync, unleashed immense sword Qi and blade light that fiercely slashed towards them.
With a loud explosion, the bodies of the Eighth and Ninth Elders completely disintegrated.
“How is this possible!” The Eighth and Ninth Elders were utterly shocked in their hearts.
Even their fragmented souls went wild. This was not what they had expected. Weren’t they supposed to severely wound the Primordial Holy Son?
Instead, they were the ones who ended up severely injured by the counterattack.
“We’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” said the Second Elder coldly, his icy aura enveloping the souls of the two elders, effectively restraining them. The two elders who were Saint Kings were like mere ants to them.
Of course, this was because they had been aware of the situation all along. Had they not known, it would have been easy to fall into the trap. These two could also have escaped quickly.
“You all, come out now! Why bother hiding!” called out the Primordial Holy Son, stepping out of the flying boat and standing in the sky, surveying his surroundings with a detached voice.
The next moment, the void exploded, and a giant claw wreathed in black mist reached towards the Primordial Holy Son. However, before it could even get close, the entire claw was obliterated.
“A First-Layer quasi-Emperor, it seems the rumors are not true,” a voice rang out as the void was torn apart, and two figures appeared before everyone.
Unlike humans, these figures looked somewhat bizarre. Their skin resembled stone, rough and rugged, with faces that were a mix of bovine and octopus features, and lower bodies that were even more peculiar, with various numbers of legs and arms.
These were the Heavenly Demons, known for their strange and grotesque appearances.
“Did you really think you could escape our notice, Primordial Holy Son? Your vigilance is quite strong,” one of them said mockingly. “But have you ever considered our existence?”
The mist dispersed, and three people in white robes slowly approached. They were humans, with cultivation levels of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Layer Great Saint Realm.
“Ha ha ha, as if they would know!” laughed another voice, as two huge soaring snakes loomed in the sky. They were from the Soaring Snake Clan, both at the Eighth Layer Great Saint Realm.
“It’s been a long time, Primordial Holy Son!” Two more figures appeared, both at the Ninth Great Saint Realm – Du Guxiong and Wuji Old Demon. Forces from all directions emerged, their oppressive might trembling the void and exerting immense pressure on everyone from the Primordial Holy Land.
Seeing the Primordial Holy Son as if trying to contact the outside world, Du Guxiong sneered, “Don’t waste your effort, Primordial Holy Son. This place has been completely sealed off. You cannot contact the outside world. You are trapped like turtles in a jar, with no chance of turning the situation around.”
Hearing this, the Primordial Holy Son revealed a sly smile: “Did you ever consider that I was also waiting for you? Everyone, come out now!”
With these words, everyone was taken aback.
