Chapter 669 : The Demon God's Descent

The heavens and the earth wailed, All Things Lose Color.

Eldrin Chen could only watch as that scar upon the world was torn wider. A pair of hands vast enough to blot out the sun and moon were straining against the pressure of the entire world, rending the firmament asunder.

From the Firmament above, infinite strands of the power of Law cascaded down, transforming into countless immortal chains of Order that flooded the void.

These chains of Order were the manifestation of the Dao's Laws within the mortal dust, embodying the fundamental principles of heaven and earth's operation. Even the most supreme Nascent Soul Dao Lord would be but an ant before such power.

However, the one arriving was no denizen of the mortal dust. Those sky-blotting hands belonged to an immortal, deathless Demon God, possessing the strength to tear apart Immortals and Demons with their bare grasp.

This was the Heaven and Earth Will of the entire Purple Realm contending against an immortal Demon God. None among those present had the power to intervene.

One after another, the chains of Order slammed into the Demon God's hands that spanned who knew how many tens of thousands of Li-lengths. Wreathed in the power of heaven and earth, they sought to bind it fast, to halt the Extraterrestrial Demon God's attempt to tear open the celestial scar.

Yet those sky-propping claws continued their rending, bearing the force of the Law-forged chains as if they were holding apart the very heavens and the earth, resulting in a cataclysmic collision.

"BOOM—!"

Heaven and earth thundered; the Laws raged and clashed. For the best reading experience, visit @udio-novel.com.

An endless tide of Demonic Qi [the corrupt and malevolent energy cultivated by demons] roiled across the heavens. Streaks of immortal and demonic power cleaved the void, straining and audibly snapping the very threads of the Heaven and Earth Law [the fundamental natural order and cosmic principles that govern a world].

Countless cultivators watched in stunned disbelief. This was a supreme Demon God [a being of immense demonic power, often born of chaos] who had forged its body into a weapon of pure demonic might, possessing the power to sunder heaven and earth. It was actually wrestling against the entire world's Heaven and Earth Law [the fundamental natural order and cosmic principles that govern a world].

One must remember that the Purple Realm was a vast and glorious world in its own right. Even at its weakest moment in a Millennium [a period of one thousand years], this display of raw power was utterly staggering.

"Activate the Zhou Heavenly Stars Grand Formation! Lend strength to the Heaven and Earth Will [the collective consciousness and defensive instinct of a world]!"

From within the Sun and Moon Twin Islands, the Human Race Dao Lords could wait no longer. A supreme Dao Lord [a title for a cultivator who has comprehended a profound Dao path] hailing from the Central Ancestral Domain roared and was the first to channel power into the Zhou Heavenly Stars Grand Formation.

In that instant, three thousand six hundred islands blazed to life, transforming into boundless stellar energy that descended like a celestial net. Billions of formation patterns surged towards the Demon God's claw, actually managing to press back the power of the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a Demon God originating from beyond this world].

As the sky-obscuring claw began to recede, many faces lit up with hope.

If they could force the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a Demon God originating from beyond this world] to retreat, the rift in the heavens would seal. Perhaps this cataclysmic battle could yet be averted.

Yet, at that very moment, the struggle reached a stalemate. After a brief, tense silence, a supremely majestic and profound divine voice, resonating with the very essence of the Great Dao, echoed between heaven and earth.

"Heaven and Earth Annihilation."

As this divine sound echoed, the Demon God's colossal hand slammed together in a seal, a ghostly blue divine halo materializing between its palms—a truly earth-shattering immortal-grade Demonic Path Divine Ability [a supreme technique of the demonic path, wielding power that defies mortal comprehension].

Within the Purple Realm [a major cultivation realm], whether it be Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts] or Divine Ability [profound supernatural techniques], they are all categorized into Sixth Rank [the six standard tiers of power].

Yet, from the perspective of the Nine Heavens Immortal Demons [demonic beings from the highest celestial realms], whether it is a first-rank spell or a Sixth Rank Pure Yang Great Divine Ability [a supreme technique of pure yang energy], they are all merely mortal trifles, collectively termed mortal-grade arts.

Only Divine Ability and Immortal Treasure [artifacts of immortal power] at the Ascendant Immortal realm and beyond are worthy of being called immortal-path Divine Ability and Nine Heavens Immortal Treasure [treasures from the highest heavens]; there is no such thing as seventh-rank treasures or Divine Ability.

Immortal is immortal, mortal is mortal—the chasm between them is utterly immeasurable.

At this moment, the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a demon god from beyond this world] converged the power of an Immortal True Demon [a true demon of immortal rank] to unleash an Immortal Demonic Great Divine Ability [a supreme demonic technique of immortal grade], erupting with shockwaves of infinite, terrifying force akin to the detonation of a black hole.

Before this onslaught, Heaven and Earth Annihilation [the divine ability named Heaven and Earth Annihilation] faltered, all creation crumbled, and even the incredibly resilient fabric of space was pulverized into nothingness.

Strands of law-formed divine chains shattered, and the starlight condensed by the Zhou Heavenly Stars Grand Formation [the grand formation named Zhou Heavenly Stars] was blasted apart, scattering into a skyful of stellar dust.

Many low-ranking cultivators channeling the grand formation suffered violent backlash, their bodies instantly bursting into crimson mist, not even leaving whole corpses behind.

Even more astonishingly, the scar upon the world was finally torn asunder completely, revealing a sky-obscuring, heaven-rending fissure.

"What was destined to come, has finally arrived."

Eldrin Chen let out a sigh. Beyond the celestial rift, from within an abyss of profound darkness, countless demonic warships were sailing towards the Purple Realm.

No one knew where the Demonic Abyss truly led, only that this End of the Demonic Abyss was the lair of the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a malevolent cosmic entity from beyond the known realms], a place of unparalleled and unspeakable terror.

"Repair the Formation [a complex array of magical energy used for defense or attack] immediately. Restore the power of the Vermilion Bird Formation [a powerful defensive formation patterned after the mythical Vermilion Bird] as swiftly as possible."

Eldrin Chen took a deep breath and issued the command to the cultivators under his authority.

The Extraterrestrial Demon God had already forced open the celestial rift. The Heaven and Earth Will [the collective consciousness and defensive instinct of the world itself] of the Purple Realm was locked in a desperate struggle against it, and for at least the next ten years, it would be unable to force the rift closed again.

War was now inevitable. Their only recourse was to expend every ounce of their strength to hold back the Demonic Monsters [the myriad foul creatures spawned from demonic energy] and survive.

The demons from the Demonic Abyss were numberless. Tens of thousands of demonic Treasure Ship [magically fortified warships] crossed the End of the Demonic Abyss and began their assault on the Zhou Heavenly Stars Grand Formation [a grand celestial defensive array].

At the core, centered on the Sun and Moon Twin Islands, the Five Luminaries Star Palaces, and the Three Enclosures Archipelago, a war of unimaginable scale erupted in its full, terrible glory.

One by one, Nascent Soul Dao Lord [powerful cultivators who have formed a nascent soul, the embryonic form of their immortal spirit] clashed with the Demonic Monsters. Even across millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] of empty void, Eldrin Chen could feel the titanic, world-shaking force of their collisions.

Backed by the Nine Heavens Demon God, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon wielded a vast number of high-grade Treasure Ship [powerful enchanted vessels], among which were even supreme Sixth Rank [the sixth major stage of cultivation] Treasure Ship. The sheer intimidation they brought placed immense pressure upon the Sun and Moon Twin Islands.

Faced with such a multitude of high-grade Treasure Ship surging forth, it was no wonder the Human Race of the Purple Realm had to deploy the Zhou Heavenly Stars Grand Formation [a grand celestial defensive array] to withstand them.

"Brother Magnus, should we dispatch some reinforcements to assist?"

Witnessing the eruption of the great battle in the inner perimeter, Tianlu Sect Master could not help but voice the question.

As the person in charge on Star Sun Island, Magnus the Virtuous shook his head and said, "The Sun and Moon Twin Islands and the Three Enclosures Archipelago are garrisoned by several dozen Nascent Soul Dao Lord [powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage]. They will not be breached so easily."

"If they cannot hold, our going would be a futile sacrifice. As long as we guard this Formation Eye [a critical node of a grand formation], we will be aiding them greatly."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Although the Twenty-Eight Mansions Archipelago was not as crucial as the inner perimeter, it comprised two hundred and eighteen Fifth Rank Spirit Island [islands imbued with Fifth Rank spiritual energy].

This number corresponded to the Nine Heavens Star Fragment [a rare celestial ore], exceeding even the one hundred and forty fragments of the three-ring primary stars.

It could be said that if the Twenty-Eight Mansions Archipelago were to fall, the power of the Zhou Heavenly Stars Grand Formation would diminish by thirty to forty percent. The demonic horde's chances of breaking through the encirclement would then increase dramatically.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke, "As one of the twenty-eight Star Lodges, Star Sun Island is a key Formation Eye of the Zhou Heavenly Stars Grand Formation. Our duty is to hold this ground."

Before the Demonic Abyss at this moment, a colossal ship that blotted out the sky and sun lay anchored between heaven and earth.

Upon that Treasure Ship, a figure clad in pitch-black battle armor stood silently, gazing at a map held in hand.

"I pay my respects to Netherdeep the Sacred Venerable."

From behind the figure, a woman with an alluring figure approached and spoke with cautious reverence.

Netherdeep the Sacred Venerable was the Personal Disciple of an Extraterrestrial Demon God, whose power had been cultivated to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection. Across the entire Purple Realm, he was a force with few peers.

Although the woman was also a Nascent Soul Celestial Demon, she was still far from being a match for Venerable Netherdeep. Continue your cultivation journey at (audio-novel.com).
