Chapter 923 Calamity Demon God
After hundreds of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, his cultivation base remained trapped at the Demon God Realm. His strength couldn't even be considered top-tier among immortals, and he was ultimately forced by descending immortals to refrain from acting against the Great 1000 Worlds.
He had originally resigned himself to never reaching the Earth Immortal realm in this lifetime. Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of years ago, a rift was torn open in the endless void, and the Violet Realm emerged within this expanse of emptiness.
The Calamity Demon God instantly realized the opportunity had arrived, and immediately activated the Calamity Abyss to trap the Violet Realm.
That Calamity Abyss was the companion artifact of the Calamity Demon God. By all reasoning, once fully formed, it would become a supreme treasure of the lowest-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Such a supreme treasure would send even a Heavenly Immortal into ecstatic frenzy, allowing them to wield it as their ultimate trump card.
Unfortunately, as it had been tainted by demonic blood, the artifact's gestation process was contaminated with acquired impurities, causing its grade to fall to the level of an Acquired Spirit Treasure.
Yet even so, the Cataclysmic Abyss remained an utterly terrifying Acquired Demonic Treasure. By employing this abyss to ensnare the Violet Realm, the Cataclysmic Demon God succeeded in severing the realm's connection between heaven and earth. So absolute was this severance that even those who had attained the pinnacle of ascension could no longer summon the Transcendent Radiance to guide them.
It turned out that the Calamity Demon God’s true intention was to use the Abyss of Calamity to trap the Violet Realm, gradually refining it into part of the abyss itself.
In this process, not only could the secrets of the Violet Realm be safeguarded from exposure, but 1 could also exclusively claim the legacy left by the Violet Immortal Lord.
You must understand, the Violet Immortal Lord was an existence at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. If he could obtain the legacy treasures left behind by the former Violet Immortal Lord, perhaps he could mend the flaws in his own foundation and break through to the Earth Immortal realm, or even advance to the Celestial Immortal realm.
Yet he had underestimated the power of the Violet Realm. As 1 of the most supreme Great 1000 Worlds, the Violet Realm had produced over a 100 immortals throughout its history—even disregarding the Violet Immortal Sovereign entirely.
These immortals had mostly laid out backup plans, causing the Calamity Demon God to fight for tens of thousands of years. He nearly exhausted all the territories under his control, yet astonishingly, he still couldn’t conquer them.
First came a peerless prodigy with the bearing of a Celestial Immortal, followed by a Son of Destiny founded upon the Primordial Chaos.
"The providence of the Violet Realm is truly so flourishing—as expected of a premier Greater World that has produced a Great Luo Golden Immortal."
The Calamity Demon God murmured under his breath, his brow furrowed with solemnity.
A moment later, a resolute gleam flashed in his eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, 9 terrifying figures surged forth from the blood pool.
"You broke our pact by striking against Liuxu Realm and refining 8 half-immortals in succession."
"It seems you are truly frightened."
At that very moment, within the Endless Demon Abyss, waves of sword hymns arose as a tranquil voice echoed forth.
The Calamity Demon God lifted his gaze and saw that deep within the Abyss of Cataclysm, a blazing white sword radiance was enveloped by the boundless demonic abyss. It shimmered with scorching runes of law, as though resisting the abyss’s corrosive grasp.
Jiang Xudao (Person Name).
The Calamity Demon God whispered, his expression turning as cold as ice as he said, "You are but a wisp of primordial spirit stubbornly clinging to this sword. Were it not for my desire to fully refine the immortal sword, I would have annihilated you long ago."
"Now that the Zhou Tian Star Formation you left behind has been shattered, the Purple Realm no longer possesses any means to stop me. What right do you have to speak so boldly before me?"
"Is that so?"
The incandescent sword radiance shone with unparalleled brilliance, like an eternal lamp that never extinguishes, illuminating the boundless darkness of the demonic abyss.
But then, the peerless immortal sword radiated overwhelming might and spoke, “By breaking the pact and striking against the Liuxu Realm, you have invoked divine retribution. In 3 1000 years, an immortal shall descend to the mortal world.”
"By that time, do you think this Purple Realm can still remain concealed?"
"There is no need to wait 3 1000 years."
The Calamity Demon God sneered coldly before declaring, "With the bodies of 8 Half-Immortals from the Liuxu Realm, I have forged the 8 Demons Immortal-Refining Array. When our powers combine, it is sufficient to wield the laws of heaven and earth to vanquish our foes."
"Under this great calamity, that Eldrin is surely doomed to a grave-less death."
"When the time comes to break the 8 Trigrams Immortal Refining Formation and unleash this venerable's second primordial spirit, who in the Violet Realm could possibly stand against me?"
At this point, the Calamity Demon God sneered coldly, "From what this venerable 1 knows, the Primordial Emperor Bell requires at least 3 1000 more years to manifest, and the Primordial Ice Silkworm in the far northern lands still lacks 1 final nirvana."
"In this day and age, who dares stand in my way?"
"Hymn—"
Within the depths of the demonic abyss, a sword radiance blossomed. The immortal sword nearly resorted to a desperate, mutually destructive strike, yet it remained firmly trapped by the abyss, powerless to pose any threat to the Calamity Demon God.
Seeing this, the Calamity Demon God rose to his feet, his expression utterly frosty as he declared, "This is the most desolate corner within the endless expanse of the starry sky. Since ancient times, only 3 immortals have ever ascended to immortality. Among them, only 1 still maintains a mortal realm legacy to this day."
"Let’s set aside whether he would descend to the mortal realm for a few half-immortals—even if he did, what of it?"
"As long as I obtain the Purple Legacy Treasure, I can mend part of my foundation. What can a mere Immortal of the Ascension Realm possibly do to me?"
As the Calamity Demon God's words faded, he clearly had no desire to speak further. Rising to his feet, he strode beyond the Abyssal Chasm.
Before parting, he gazed at the Violet Realm, his pupils filled with boundless indifference as he declared, "Jiang Xudao (Person Name), I grant you 1 final chance."
"If you are willing to submit to this venerable 1 and let the immortal sword serve me, then I pledge that after refining the Purple Realm, I shall release this wisp of your primordial spirit to return whence it came."
"You have arduously cultivated for 8 1000 years to attain immortality and achieve the Dao. With this wisp of primordial spirit still intact, you can rebuild your immortal Dao fruit. It would be truly regrettable to face complete soul dispersion here—why not consider your own path forward?"
"Clang—"
In the void, the overwhelming roar of swords echoed incessantly.
That blazing white sword radiance was incomparably resplendent, like an immortal beacon illuminating the boundless darkness, while a peerless killing intent targeted the Calamity Demon God directly.
"You wish to make this venerable 1 submit? A fool's delusion!"
"This Sovereign shall watch you perish in this Demon Abyss, witness the karmic retribution of tens of thousands of years descend upon you—until all you are turns to dust and nothingness."
"Hahaha…"
The Calamity Demon Lord let out a furious laugh, his rage twisting into a maniacal roar as he transformed into a colossal demonic deity that blotted out the heavens. "This sovereign shall now slay that Eldrin brat," he sneered with unbridled arrogance, "and extinguish every last shred of your hope."
Boom—
3 decades passed in the blink of an eye.
Eldrin stood atop the Zhou Tian Star Archipelago, his expression serene as he gazed upon the Demonic Abyss Heavenly Scar before him, a look of profound gravity settling upon his features.
Now, after a full millennium, the Outer Realm Demons have finally torn open the Celestial Rift once more, poised to strike at the Violet Realm.
Heaven and earth roared, all things quaked.
Peerless Demon Emperor Shaking Heaven and Earth.
After 2,800 years of arduous cultivation, Eldrin witnessed the Celestial Rift of the Demonic Abyss being torn open for the third time, yet he perceived a subtly different essence in this occurrence.
When the Abyssal Rift first opened, Eldrin had merely reached the Nascent Soul realm and could only linger at the periphery of the Zhou Tian Star Archipelago.
At that moment, witnessing the colossal hand that blotted out the sky, I felt like an ant gazing at the heavens, utterly awestruck and unable to regain my composure for what felt like an eternity.
The second time around, he was already a Demigod powerhouse, having forged a Primordial Chaos foundation to jointly broadcast. With various Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) experts bearing the pressure at the forefront, he cut down countless formidable foes along his path.
Though this battle was arduous, it was also the most exhilarating fight he had ever experienced, for he could finally unleash his full power without restraint.
Now on this third visit, as he beheld the demon god's colossal hand descending from the heavens, Eldrin still acknowledged his own profound inadequacy, yet understood this power was not beyond reach.
"If my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body were perfected, I might also be capable of such methods."
Eldrin murmured under his breath, yet felt an overwhelming pressure descending upon him.
In this battle, the human race had no Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) to guard them. As the foremost figure among humanity and the 1 who must bear the brunt when the heavens fall, he now had to face the Outer Realm Demonic God directly.
As his thoughts wavered, Eldrin immediately spoke. His voice resonated like divine scripture, echoing across tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
"All members, activate the formation!"
