Chapter 924 : The Demon God's Descent

"Hmmmm—"

As the words of Eldrin Chen fell, the heavens and the earth trembled violently.

In that instant, dazzling streams of light erupted from the various Spirit Island, and endless arrays of formation runes converged Nine Heavens Above. They surged towards the Demon Abyss Heavenly Scar to suppress it, seeking to aid the Heaven and Earth Will [the collective consciousness and defensive instinct of the world itself] in blocking the Extraterrestrial Demon God.

This Cosmic Starry Sky Grand Formation was already incomplete, its power far from its former peak. Yet, it could still be counted among the most supreme Formation [a complex magical array or defensive construct] in the mortal realm.

However, before an ultimate existence like the Extraterrestrial Demon God, it was but a mantis trying to stop a chariot—utterly futile.

They watched as the sky-rending, earth-cleaving Demon God's Hand tore through the void, forcibly ripping the Heavenly Scar [a primordial wound in the fabric of the world] wide open, forming a massive, gaping wound.

"BOOM—"

After a moment of deafening silence, a violent, thunderous roar echoed throughout heaven and earth.

The Human Race Primordial Spirit [Nascent Soul] cultivators gazed upon the Demon Abyss Heavenly Scar, each and every one of their expressions turning incomparably grave.

In their hearts, the warriors felt profoundly uneasy and apprehensive about this battle. On one hand, after nearly a Millennium of war, the Primordial Spirit forces under the command of the Extraterrestrial Demon God had suffered heavy losses and were likely no longer capable of mustering the overwhelming offensive power they once possessed.

On the other hand, the opponent was, after all, an Extraterrestrial Demon God [a powerful demonic entity originating from beyond this world]; perhaps within this Millennium [a grand cycle of one thousand years], they had discovered an even more terrifying contingency plan.

Now that the Demonic Abyss [a vast, bottomless chasm serving as a gateway for demonic forces] had reopened, while the Cosmic Starry Sky Grand Formation [a grand defensive array that harnesses the power of the stars] had lost more than half its potency, it was only natural for unease to settle in their hearts.

"Slay them—!"

It was at this very moment that, from within the Demonic Abyss, one Treasure Ship [a magically-powered vessel used for transportation and warfare] after another came traversing the void.

The Treasure Ship formed a dark, oppressive mass. Within them, countless legions of the Demon Race Army [the organized military forces of the demonic races] crossed the void, followed by an innumerable host of Demon Race Army.

"Thank the heavens."

Witnessing the countless Treasure Ship soaring forth, Eldrin Chen still could not help but heave a deep sigh of relief.

Although the Demon Race [the collective term for various demonic species] Treasure Ship in this battle still formed a dark, seething tide, their numbers paled in comparison to a Millennium ago. The Demon Race Army was likely not what it once was.

As for Nascent Soul Grade [the realm of cultivation where one forms their immortal soul core] Demonic Cultivator [cultivators who follow demonic or unorthodox paths], there were only slightly over sixty, a mere thirty percent of their numbers from a Millennium prior.

Seeing this, the Violet Firmament Daoist stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If the Demon Race forces for this battle are limited to this scale, then they should pose little cause for concern."

The Glazed Palace Master [the master of the Glazed Palace] also nodded, then spoke, "Fellow Daoists, the time has come for us to unite our hearts and strength to resist the Demon Race [a race of malevolent beings born from chaos and negative energies] together."

"Clang—"

At that very moment, a clear sword hum resonated. Lin Tianqi was the first to strike, his brilliant sword radiance tearing through the Boundless Void [the infinite, starless expanse between realms] and cleaving through dozens of Demon Race [a race of malevolent beings born from chaos and negative energies] warships, splitting the swarming Demon Race Army [the military forces of the demon race] in two.

Seeing this, the others immediately joined the fray. They unleashed one Spiritual Treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators] and Divine Ability [a supernatural power derived from profound cultivation] after another, directing their attacks towards the Demon Race [a race of malevolent beings born from chaos and negative energies].

The great battle erupted instantly. Eldrin Chen stood firm upon the Firmament [the vault of heaven], watching as the various Dao Lord [a title for a supreme master of the Dao Path] and Heaven-Demon [a powerful class of demons born from celestial corruption] under his command clashed together. A faint frown creased his brow.

Just as he prepared to intervene, an inexplicable heaviness settled in his heart, a premonition of immense threat washing over him.

"BOOM—"

A deafening roar echoed. From within the infinite Demonic Abyss [a bottomless chasm that is the source of demonic energy], eight terrifying presences emerged one after another, their auras towering like mountains, their power eclipsing the heavens.

The moment these eight figures appeared, they displayed an aura of invincibility capable of shattering the heavens and earth. The leader, an elder holding a horsetail whisk, swung it directly towards Lin Tianqi.

As the second strongest in the Primordial Spirit Realm [the realm of cultivating one's primordial spiritual core], Lin Tianqi's combat prowess was among the pinnacle even within the Ninth Layer Nascent Soul [the ninth and final stage of the Nascent Soul cultivation realm]. Facing the elder's whisk, he offered no words, only a swift and decisive counter-strike with his sword.

He had believed this seemingly inevitable strike would force the newcomer to retreat, yet the outcome defied his expectations entirely.

He watched as the whisk transformed into a calamitous light that lashed out, effortlessly sending Lin Tianqi's Lifebound Immortal Sword [a cultivator's sword bound to their life force and soul] flying backward.

"A Half-Immortal Realm [the penultimate stage of cultivation, one step below true immortality] Ancient Ancestor, wielding a Quasi-Immortal Treasure [a treasure of near-immortal grade, one of the most powerful artifacts in the mortal realm]."

Lin Tianqi drew a sharp, cold breath. He had never imagined this elderly man was an Ancient Ancestor of the Half-Immortal Realm, nor that the unassuming whisk in his hand was a Quasi-Immortal Treasure of such rarity in the world.

In that single instant, he understood he was far from a match for his opponent. Without hesitation, he transformed into a streak of sword light, fleeing desperately to preserve his life.

At that very moment, two more figures from the group of eight made their move.

One was a man, the other a woman. The man summoned a precious bracelet forged from Primordial Treasure Metal [a legendary metal from the dawn of creation, imbued with immense power], while the woman unleashed a Five-Colored Whip [a whip imbued with the spiritual essence of the five elements] that snaked toward him.

"My life ends here."

In the span of a single breath, Lin Tianqi's heart sank. He knew, with absolute certainty, that he stood no chance of escape.

Among these eight figures, only three had made their move, yet each possessed cultivation at the Half-Immortal Realm [a realm just one step below true Immortality] and had unleashed three earth-shattering Quasi-Immortal Treasure [artifacts of power that approach the level of true Immortal treasures].

The Primordial Gold Bracelet was forged from an unfinished Immortal Material [a legendary material capable of bearing Immortal power], making it a peerlessly indestructible supreme treasure. Even a true Immortal [a being who has ascended to the highest realm of cultivation] would likely find it impossible to break free once ensnared by it.

Although he did not recognize the Five-Colored Whip, he understood it was refined from the Five-Colored Immortal Vine. That Five-Colored Immortal Vine was a legendary Acquired Spiritual Root [a spiritual plant of heaven-defying rarity and power born after the creation of the world], a treasure whose value was truly inestimable.

Three Earth Immortal Progenitor [ancient, immensely powerful cultivators who have attained a form of earthly immortality] and three Quasi-Immortal Treasure alone were enough to seal his fate, let alone the presence of five other beings, each a hair's breadth from the Half-Immortal Realm.

"BOOM—"

At that very moment of life and death, a thunderclap suddenly resounded. A bolt of Five-Colored Divine Thunder [a divine thunder technique imbued with the power of the five fundamental elements] shot forth, striking the horsetail whisk and causing its radiant light to flicker wildly.

Immediately following, a colossal hand that blotted out the sky descended, suppressing the Five-Colored Whip beneath its immense pressure.

Then, Eldrin Chen strode through the void. He pulled Lin Tianqi behind him with one hand and, with seemingly effortless grace, delivered a palm strike that sent the Primordial Gold Bracelet flying away.

"My thanks."

Having narrowly escaped death, Lin Tianqi let out a heavy sigh of relief. Standing behind Eldrin Chen, he declared, "I shall fight by your side."

"Slay!"

Before Eldrin Chen could utter a word, the eight figures' pupils blazed with bloody light. With a sharp *shing*, they shot into the air, intent on trapping the two of them firmly within their formation.

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed. He immediately shoved Lin Tianqi away, saying, "These eight seem to be demonic fiends refined by an Extraterrestrial Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this world]. You are no match for them. Fall back for now."

His words had barely faded when the eight figures launched their coordinated assault. Ignoring the pushed-aside Lin Tianqi entirely, they converged their murderous intent solely on Eldrin Chen, their purpose clear: to bring about Eldrin Chen's demise.

"Hmph—"

"So, they truly are here for This Venerable One [a formal and powerful self-referential term used by high-level cultivators]."

As the eight demonic fiends soared toward him, a glacial chill flashed in Eldrin Chen's eyes. He raised his palm and struck out with devastating force.

Although his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique of unparalleled resilience and power, forged from the essence of primordial chaos] was not yet fully perfected, Eldrin Chen had already reached a level of physical supremacy unrivaled within the mortal realm.

Even a supreme existence like Peng the Roc Demon Sage likely paled in comparison to his physical form alone.

It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin Chen felt not a shred of fear, even when facing eight beings of the Demi-Immortal [a realm just half a step away from true immortality] realm.

Yet, he clashed with eight Demi-Immortal [a cultivator who has transcended mortality but not yet attained full immortality] demonic fiends for dozens of exchanges in succession. Though suppressed and at an absolute disadvantage, he still possessed the strength to parry and did not suffer a single wound.

"Are you lot the hidden hand of the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a powerful demonic entity originating from beyond this world]?"

Seeing that the eight demonic fiends could not overcome myself, Eldrin Chen sneered coldly, "If this is all you have, I fear it is still insufficient to vanquish this seat."

"Eight Demons Immortal Refining Formation."

At that very moment, a light that pierced the heavens suddenly erupted from the brows of the eight demonic fiends.

In an instant, one illusory Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles and rules that govern reality and cultivation] after another materialized across the sky. As a set of Formation Plate [a specialized tool used to control and power complex magical formations] within their bodies activated, these illusory laws fused into one, transforming into a single, tangible, and utterly real Laws of the Dao that cleaved downwards, enveloping Eldrin Chen.
