Chapter 669 : Heaven and Earth in Turmoil, the Great War Begins
Heaven and Earth wailed, all creation lost its color.
Eldrin saw only that the tear in the heavens was being ripped wider—a pair of colossal hands, vast enough to blot out the sun and moon, were straining against the pressure of the entire world to rend the fabric of sky and earth.
From the heavens descended the boundless power of natural law, transforming into immortal chains of order that drowned the void.
These divine chains of order are manifestations of the laws of nature within the mortal realm, embodying the fundamental principles of cosmic operation. Even the most supreme Primordial Spirit Dao Lords are but mere ants when faced with such power.
However, the newcomer was no mortal of the mundane world. That colossal hand, vast enough to blot out the heavens, belonged to an immortal and indestructible Demon God, possessing the power to tear apart immortals and demons alike.
This was the very will of the Violet Realm’s heavens and earth contending against an immortal demon god. None present had the power to intervene.
1 after another, chains of order slammed into the colossal demonic hand spanning tens of thousands of miles, harnessing the power of heaven and earth to firmly bind it, striving to halt the extraterrestrial demon’s attempt to tear open the celestial rift.
Yet those claws that blotted out the heavens tore through celestial scars, bearing the force of divine chains of law as if propping open heaven and earth, unleashing a world-shattering collision.
"Boom—"
Heaven and earth roared as the laws of nature clashed.
Endless demonic energy surged across the heavens, while streaks of immortal and demonic power tore through the void, violently snapping the laws of heaven and earth with metallic resonance.
Many cultivators were utterly stunned. This was a supreme demon god who had forged his fleshly body into a demonic form, possessing the power to cleave heaven and earth—he was actually contending against the very laws of the world itself.
You must understand, the Violet Realm is an entire world of immense power and splendor. Even though it is currently at its weakest point in a 1000 years, this is still utterly astonishing.
"Activate the Cycle of Stars Grand Array to lend a hand to the Will of Heaven and Earth."
Within the Sun and Moon Twin Islands, the human Dao Lords could no longer remain idle. A supreme Dao Lord from the Central Ancestral Domain roared in fury, immediately activating the Cosmic Star Formation.
In an instant, all 3,600 islands were activated, transforming into boundless stellar power that enveloped the area. Hundreds of millions of array inscriptions surged toward the demonic god’s claw, actually suppressing the power of the extraterrestrial demonic god.
Just as it seemed the sky-shielding claw was about to be forced back, many faces lit up with joy.
Once the Outer Realm Demons are driven back, the Sky Scar will mend, and perhaps this battle need not be fought any further.
Yet at that very moment, the stalemate between them froze in place. After a brief, profound silence, a majestic and boundless Heavenly Dao Divine Voice suddenly resonated between heaven and earth.
The heavens and earth were annihilated.
As this divine sound reverberated, the colossal hand of the demonic deity abruptly formed a seal, giving rise to an ethereal blue divine halo between its palms—an astonishing and earth-shattering immortal demonic art.
Within the Violet Realm, all spiritual treasures and divine abilities are categorized into 6 tiers.
Yet in the eyes of the 9 Heavens Immortals and Demons, whether it be first-tier spells or sixth-tier Pure Yang Great Divine Abilities, they are all but trivial mortal arts, collectively referred to as Mortal-tier Spells.
Only divine abilities and treasures at the Ascendant Immortal realm and above could be designated as Immortal Dao Divine Abilities and 9 Heavens Immortal Treasures. There existed no such classifications as seventh-tier treasures or divine abilities.
Immortals are immortals, mortals are mortals—the chasm between them is simply immeasurable.
At this moment, the Outer Realm Demon God gathered the power of the Immortal True Demon, unleashing a supreme demonic divine ability that erupted with endless shockwaves. It violently burst forth with terrifying impacts akin to a black hole's explosion.
Before this overwhelming force, heaven and earth trembled into nothingness, all creation crumbled, and even the incomparably solid space itself was shattered into utter void.
1 after another, divine chains of law crumbled, while the starlight gathered by the Zhou Celestial Star Formation was shattered into a sky full of stellar dust.
Many low-level cultivators who were channeling the grand formation suffered a backlash, instantly bursting into clouds of blood mist—not even their corpses remained intact.
Even more astonishing, that scar in the heavens and earth was finally torn completely open, revealing a celestial rift that blotted out the sky.
"What must come, has come at last."
Eldrin let out a soft sigh. Beyond the heavenly rift, an abyss of absolute darkness stretched endlessly, from which countless demonic warships advanced toward the Violet Realm.
No 1 knew where that demonic abyss truly led, only that its depths reached the lair of extraterrestrial demons—a place of unparalleled and profound terror.
"Repair the formation immediately, and restore the power of the Vermilion Bird Grand Formation as soon as possible."
Eldrin (Person Name) drew a deep breath before addressing the cultivators under his command.
The foreign eldritch god had already torn open the celestial rift, and the will of the Violet Realm was locked in an all-out confrontation with it. It would take at least 10 years to suppress this breach.
The great war was inevitable. All they could do was pour every ounce of their strength into holding back the demonic horde and survive.
The demons of the Abyss were countless. Tens of thousands of demonic treasure ships crossed the abyssal frontier, launching their assault upon the Cosmic Star Formation Grand Array.
At the very heart of the Ha Archipelago—within the Sun and Moon Twin Islands, the 5 Luminaries Star Palaces, and the 3 Enclosures Island Chains—a truly magnificent battle erupted in its entirety.
1 after another, Primordial Spirit Dao Lords clashed fiercely with the demonic fiends. Even across tens of millions of li of void, Eldrin could feel the incomparable forces colliding.
The Outer Realm Demons, backed by the 9 Heavens Devil God, possessed numerous high-grade treasure ships among which were even supreme sixth-rank vessels. The sheer intimidation they brought forth placed immense pressure upon the Sun-Moon Twin Islands.
The onslaught of so many high-grade treasure ships made it clear why the humans of the Violet Realm had to deploy the Cosmic Star Formation to withstand them.
"Brother Haoran, should we send a dozen or so men to assist?"
As the fierce battle in the inner perimeter erupted, the master of the Heavenly Abode Sect couldn't help but speak up.
As the presiding figure on Starfire Island, Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) shook his head and said, "With over a dozen Primordial Spirit Dao Lords (Cultivation Rank) guarding Solaris and Lunaris Islands along with the 3 Enclaves Archipelago, breaching their defenses is no simple feat."
"If they can't hold them off, our going would only be a futile sacrifice. Guarding the formation's core is the greatest aid we can offer."
Eldrin (Person Name) nodded in agreement. Though the 20-8 Lunar Mansions Archipelago could not compare to the inner regions in importance, it still contained 218 fifth-grade spirit islands.
This number corresponds to the 9 Heavens Stars, far exceeding the 1,400 stars of the 3-Ring Primary Constellations.
It could be said that if all 20-8 Astral Archipelagos were breached, the power of the Cosmic Star Formation would diminish by 30 to 40 percent. At that point, the demonic army's chances of breaking through the encirclement would drastically increase.
At that thought, Eldrin spoke up: "As 1 of the 20-8 Constellation Islands, Starfire Island serves as a crucial anchor point for the Cosmic Star Formation. We need only hold our position here."
Before the Demon Abyss at this moment, a colossal vessel that blotted out the sky loomed between heaven and earth.
On the treasure ship, a figure clad in jet-black armor was silently studying the map in hand.
I pay my respects to the 9 Serenities Saint.
Behind that person, a woman with a graceful figure approached and spoke cautiously.
The 9 Serenities Saint Lord was the personal disciple of the Outer Realm Demon God, having cultivated his power to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm. Throughout the entire Violet World, few could rival his might.
Although the woman was also a Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon, she was still no match for the Abyssal Reverence.
