Chapter 693 Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) Revenge

Eldrin listened in silence, a faint glint of murderous intent flickering deep within his pupils.

In the first 2 to 3 100 years following each eruption of the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm, demonic cultivators run rampant throughout the Eastern Wastelands (Location).

For at this time, the human race in the Eastern Wastelands (Location) had been severely devastated by the calamity. Countless high-level cultivators had fallen or been wounded, leaving them at their most vulnerable moment.

In particular, numerous Golden Core Realm cultivators and Nascent Soul Realm sovereigns sustained injuries. To prevent their conditions from worsening, they had to minimize strenuous movements, likely requiring years of secluded cultivation to fully recover.

Fortunately, this time Eldrin and Kael's injuries weren't severe, allowing them to free up their hands to deal with these scoundrels.

At this thought, Eldrin mused thoughtfully, "I had intended to recover from my injuries swiftly and allow the family to recuperate for a few years. Yet these fiends grow too rampant—I suppose I must intervene."

"Mm," Kael nodded, then spoke, "A few newly-advanced Nascent Soul demonic cultivators aren't particularly troublesome. It's just that the demonic tribes likely won't let us succeed."

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions grew solemn. According to the pact established during the Abyssal Cataclysm, demonic beings at or above the Nascent Soul realm were forbidden from attacking humans during the calamity. But now that the Abyssal Cataclysm had passed, they were likely eager to undermine humanity at every turn.

Eldrin’s expression tightened slightly as he turned to Chen Silas and asked, “Has there been any news from the direction of Emerald Wave Lake and Purple Jade Lake?”

Chen Silas’s expression darkened slightly upon hearing this. He could not help but interject, “There is still no news from the direction of the Emerald Wave Lake. However, the Purple Jade Demon Emperor has repeatedly sent Golden Core great demons into The Vast Sea to gather intelligence.”

"By my reckoning, the 3-100-year contract with the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) is nearing its expiration." Eldrin (Person Name) darkened his expression, his gaze turning solemn as he remarked, "It seems the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) is growing restless as well."

Seeing this, Chen Changxuan couldn’t help but speak up, “In this battle, almost every Nascent Soul cultivator in Jizhou was wounded. Lingxu Xianzi (Person Name), Zi Ji Xianzi (Person Name), and even Senior Haoran (Person Name) will need to go into seclusion to recuperate for 1 or 2 100 years.”

"Shall we also take some time to rest and wait until everyone recovers from their injuries before making a move against these Nascent Soul stage demons?"

"We cannot wait any longer." Eldrin shook his head, his expression grave as he spoke. "These demonic cultivators have just broken through, and their current strength is still negligible. But if we allow them to consolidate their cultivation and refine their demonic artifacts, they will become far more troublesome."

"Moreover, keeping them alive would inflict significant losses upon the low-level cultivators of The Vast Sea (Location), ultimately affecting our production of the 5 Elements Essence."

Lyra also nodded, pondering for a moment before saying, "A mere few Nascent Soul, Early Stage demonic cultivators aren't too troublesome. What worries me is if they've joined forces with the Purple Jade Demon Emperor—that would certainly bring us great trouble."

"Then let us act swiftly." Eldrin contemplated for a brief moment before speaking, "Elder Uncle, your injuries are the most severe. You should enter seclusion to recuperate first. The few of us will eradicate the demonic cultivators from The Vast Sea."

The forbidden ground for demonic cultivators in The Vast Sea (Location) is named the Blood Cavern Isle.

Many years ago, this Blood Skull Island was once an extremely powerful forbidden land for demonic cultivators.

But later, when the Chen Clan moved to The Vast Sea (Location), for the then-magnificent Chen Clan, how could they tolerate others sleeping soundly beside their bed? Naturally, they fought a battle and completely wiped them out.

Since then, Blood Abyss Island had languished for thousands of years. It was not until this very day that multiple Nascent Soul demon cultivators reclaimed this domain.

"This is Blood Cavern Island."

At this moment, outside the Blood Cavern Island, Eldrin gazed calmly at the demonic island before him, a flicker of killing intent blooming between his brows.

Beside him stood a full 5 True Monarchs: Lyra (Person Name), Kael (Person Name), Chen Silas (Person Name), Elara (Person Name), and Lila (Person Name).

Although Lyra (Person Name), Elara (Person Name), and the others had not yet fully recovered their cultivation bases, they could still unleash most of their combat prowess. Their confidence in dealing with the 4 Nascent Soul demons of the Blood Cavern Island remained more than sufficient.

But when they arrived outside the Blood Cavern Island, Eldrin sensed something was wrong. In the distant void, a group of figures quietly closed in around them.

“Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast)。”

Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly as he seemed to recognize the newcomer's origins.

Not only had the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) arrived, but he was also accompanied by 2 of his subordinates—the 100 Venoms Scorpion and the Crimson Blood Serpent—both demon emperors in their own right. In addition, there were 4 other demon emperors present whom he had never met before.

Among those 4 Demon Emperors, 2 were newly ascended Demon Emperors cultivated by Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) in recent years, while the other 2 were figures clad in golden and silver scale armor respectively.

The newly ascended Demon Emperor was not yet a grave concern, but Eldrin had likely discerned the origins of the figure clad in golden-silver scale armor.

These 2 demons were known as the Gold and Silver Emperors, said to have attained enlightenment from golden and silver arowanas respectively. Their cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul, 6th Tier (Cultivation Realm).

The Golden Dragon Fish and Silver Dragon Fish were both extraordinary bloodline variants among the demon race, their lineage no less remarkable than that of flood dragons.

Moreover, their magical powers complemented each other perfectly, and when joining forces, their combined strength was sufficient to contend even with a Great Circle Nascent Soul realm expert.

"Hahaha, Daoist of the Returning Abyss, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

The Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) looked at Eldrin (Person Name) and burst into roaring laughter.

It turned out that many years ago, having learned from the lesson of being besieged by Eldrin and his followers, he had adopted the strategy proposed by the 100 Venoms Sky Scorpion. Since then, he had simultaneously nurtured newly ascended demon emperors while diligently winning over the demon tribes to lend him their aid.

Now, 3 100 years later, he had not only cultivated 2 new Eldrin Emperors at the Nascent Soul stage, but also enlisted the aid of the Golden and Dragon Emperors.

At this moment, the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) had brought a full 7 Demon Emperors. Combined with the 4 Nascent Soul demonic cultivators from The Vast Sea (Location), their forces now numbered a full 11 Nascent Soul True Lords—5 more than the Chen Family possessed.

Seeing Eldrin’s grim expression, the Purple Jade Demon Emperor sneered coldly, “Today, I shall let you taste the bitterness of being overwhelmed by numbers.”

"Attack!"

As soon as Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) finished speaking, he led the crowd in launching a coordinated assault.

In the blink of an eye, chaos erupted as a melee broke out, and the Nascent Soul cultivators immediately engaged in combat.

Eldrin faced the Purple Jade Demon Emperor alone. After exchanging a dozen or so moves with his opponent, he began to sense the gravity of the situation.

The Chen Clan found themselves in a precarious position during this battle. He alone stood against the Purple Jade Demon Emperor, while Lyra engaged in combat with the Golden and Silver Emperors. Meanwhile, Kael found himself besieged by the 100 Venoms Scorpion and the Crimsonblood Serpent-Demon.

The remaining 2 newly ascended Demon Sovereigns, along with 4 Nascent Soul demonic cultivators, joined forces to besiege the trio of Chen Silas (Person Name), Elara (Person Name), and Lila (Person Name).

Had they been at their peak, they might have held their ground. However, Lyra’s life-bound magic treasure had not yet fully recovered, Lila’s signature artifact, the Ice Soul Condensed Jade Tower, lay in ruins, and the rest of the group were all severely wounded.

If this battle continues, I fear the Chen Clan members will suffer worsening injuries, and some may even face the peril of an untimely demise.

With this thought, Eldrin no longer cared about concealing his abilities and decisively summoned the Green Abyss Sword.

The Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) was, after all, a pure Yang spirit treasure. Even though Eldrin (Person Name) had insufficient magical power, its unleashed might far surpassed that of ordinary spirit treasures.
