Chapter 833. The Abyss of Demons(Location) Catastrophe Rises Again

To return to our story, the outer islands of the Star Palace were relatively tranquil at this moment, while the inner region had descended into utter chaos.

The Demon God commanded countless Outer Realm Demons to fiercely assault the Star Archipelago Array. After a full 10 days of relentless assault, seeing that no Human Semi-Immortals had been lured into action, he simply decided to wait no longer.

But on this day, a thunderous roar erupted from the Demon Abyss Heavenly Rift as an immensely towering figure emerged from within.

The newcomer had disheveled hair and wore a black-and-gold war robe. His towering figure resembled a celestial demon from the highest heavens, radiating an unparalleled majesty that transcended the ages.

"Clang—"

The newcomer gripped a blood-stained war spear, and with a resonant clang, swept it horizontally. The very Cosmos Star Formation, famed for its power to seal even immortals, shuddered violently under the impact.

For a moment, heaven and earth trembled violently. Countless cultivators channeling the formation were struck by backlash, vomiting blood and dying. The sheer force of this strike was so immense that many erupted into gruesome explosions on the spot.

"Do not let Him strike again..."

Witnessing the newcomer unleash the might of immortal and demonic arts with a single move, the crowd instantly paled, their faces shifting dramatically.

In but an instant, 2 dazzlingly brilliant rays of light streaked across the sky—the first was an immortal furnace blazing with overwhelming celestial flames, while the second was a jet-black treasured cauldron.

Refining Immortal Crucible, Suppressing Demon Cauldron!

Someone cried out in astonishment, recognizing the 2 supreme treasures.

Whether it was the Immortal-Refining Furnace or the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron, both were near-immortal treasures forged by ancient immortals, crafted from flawed immortal materials. When fully awakened, they could even pose some threat to true celestials and demons.

Yet the newcomer showed no fear at all. With disheveled black hair obscuring his face, his coiling dragon-like arm brandished a blood-stained war spear in a sweeping strike. In the blink of an eye, he sent the Refining Immortal Furnace flying backward.

Then, raising a hand to the heavens, He actually seized the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron, renowned for its power to subdue both immortals and demons.

"Impossible!"

The Palace Master of Drifting Snow, who was activating the Suppressing Demon Cauldron, wore an expression of disbelief. This Suppressing Demon Cauldron was forged from Eldrin Divine Iron, and its weight surpassed even that of the stars in the heavens.

Such immense force would likely give even an immortal pause, yet the opponent caught it bare-handed—a move far beyond her expectations.

At that very moment, the divine-demon-like figure turned his gaze sideways, revealing the face beneath the raven-black hair.

"It's him!"

In that instant, Riverlord Chang (Person Name) and the other elder Dao Lords all turned pale with terror.

Even the hidden masters of the Dao Palace and several other Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm) concealed within the void showed subtle changes in their expressions.

Eastern Sovereign...

The Palace Master of the Dao Palace couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling his mouth go dry and a chill creeping down his spine.

A man long since dead had appeared here. After the initial shock, the crowd quickly pieced together the cause and effect.

It turned out that back when Emperor Jiang was ascending to immortality, an extraterrestrial demon god paid an immense price and even sacrificed a celestial-grade demonic treasure to stop his path to enlightenment. Yet, the Eastern Emperor intervened with a substitution technique, taking the calamity upon himself.

Thereafter, the incomparably domineering Dong Huang perished at Mount Dong Huang, yet no 1 ever found his remains.

It was initially assumed that the Eldrin’s strength was so overwhelming that it had reduced the Eastern Sovereign to ashes of calamity. Now, however, it appears the Eastern Sovereign was abducted by the Eldrin.

Upon careful reflection, this outcome was to be expected. After all, the Eastern Emperor had already cultivated an Immortal Body in those years. Were it not for the extraterritorial demon gods, he could have undergone his heavenly tribulation and ascended to immortality at any moment.

An immortal who has achieved ascension through physical cultivation possesses a body so robust it could be considered a supreme immortal artifact. How could such an existence possibly be reduced to scattered bones and ashes by a mere 3 strikes?

Although the Outer Realm Demon God had slain the Eastern Emperor’s primordial spirit, it remained nearly impossible to destroy his physical body.

Thus, he seized Donghuang's physical body and spent a full several 1000 years refining it into this Second Primordial Spirit form.

"A second spirit avatar cultivated through the body of the Eastern Emperor."

After deducing the cause and effect, the moment numerous Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm) recognized the remains of the Eastern Emperor, despair washed over their faces.

This was a true Immortal Body, possessing the characteristic of being indestructible through 10 1000 calamities. Even the Outer Realm Demonic Gods could not destroy it, having no choice but to target the primordial spirit directly.

Though they possessed extraordinary strength, attempting to suppress this celestial physique with mortal means was nothing short of a fool's delusion.

Seeing that morale was beginning to waver, the master of the Dao Palace took a deep breath and declared, "Fear not, everyone. Though this relic of the Eastern Emperor is extraordinary, it never underwent the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, and thus remains slightly flawed."

"We have long since laid countless contingencies. Even if we cannot slay it, we are confident we can seal it away!"

"Then let's begin!"

As the words of the Palace Master faded, 1 Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) after another immediately took action.

Facing such a formidable foe with an Immortal Physique, the Demigod Ancestors dared not show the slightest negligence. From the very first move, they unleashed their full arsenal of techniques.

The Tribulation Transcendent Monk summoned the Pagoda of Enlightenment, the Heavenly Vision Daoist invoked the Heavenly Vision Mirror, and the 7 Avians Wanderer unleashed the power of the 7 Avians Fan.

For a moment, every Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) activated their near-immortal treasures, attempting to suppress the sharp aura emanating from the Eastern Emperor's remains.

Yet even so, it could not suppress the power of the Eastern Emperor Immortal Physique.

After a dozen or so exchanges, the group was forced into continuous retreat. The master of the Guan Tian Sect could no longer restrain himself and called out to the leader of the Dao Palace, "Brother Dao, will you not intervene?"

"Now."

The master of the Dao Palace finished speaking and activated the 8 Trigrams Plate in his hand, sending it flying forth.

But the 8 Trigrams Disk swelled with the wind, and in an instant, it blotted out the heavens and shrouded the void.

Upon the treasure plate, 8 precious banners rotated in accordance with the 8 Trigrams, unleashing 8 supreme forces.

These 8 powers were Heaven of Qian, Earth of Kun, Thunder of Zhen, Wind of Xun, Water of Kan, Fire of Li, Mountain of Gen, and Marsh of Dui.

“Treasure Banner of the 8 Trigrams (Magic Treasure), a supreme-grade Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang (Magic Treasure) realm Treasure Banner of the 8 Trigrams (Magic Treasure)!”

Someone in the crowd gasped immediately, recognizing the origins of these 8 precious banners.

The origins of the Treasure Banner of the 8 Trigrams (Magic Treasure) were lost in the mists of time. In ancient days, the Purple Immortal Lord had used the supreme innate spiritual artifact, the 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree, as its foundation to forge this ultimate formation.

The Chen Clan's 8 Trigrams Demon-Refining Banner (Magic Treasure) is merely a simplified version of this set of array flags, its power paling in comparison to the profound mysteries inherent to a Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

The formation flags of the Dao Palace Master were also replicas, yet they represented 1 of the 3 most formidable inherited formations in the Violet Realm.

To forge this grand formation, the several Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm) of the Violet Realm's human race pooled the entire realm's resources, consuming 8 100 years before finally achieving its completion.

When Eldrin (Person Name) journeyed to the Southern Ridge cultivation realm to exchange for the Pure Yang Fire Treasure, his failure was primarily due to the fact that all fire treasures in the Southern Ridge had been gathered to refine the Li Fire Banner among the 8 precious banners.

At this moment, the Dao Palace Master used the near-immortal artifact 8 Trigrams Plate as the formation's core, activating 8 treasure banners that enveloped the void. For a time, his majesty knew no equal as they shrouded the Donghuang Immortal Body.

Exquisite.

Seeing the Sun Emperor Immortal Body trapped, many Human Ancestors breathed sighs of relief, their faces lighting up with ecstatic delight.

But at that moment, the master of the Dao Palace flushed crimson and exclaimed with a slightly changed expression, "My spiritual power is insufficient! All of you, assist me quickly!"

It turned out that the Primordial Solar Immortal Body was far too powerful, being the second spirit avatar cultivated by an eldritch demon god from beyond the celestial realms. Though temporarily restrained by the formation, sustaining the seal single-handedly proved nearly impossible for him alone.

Seeing the situation turning dire, the Lord of the Celestial Path immediately declared, "Trapping an immortal is no simple task. Beyond the primary array master, we require 8 cultivators to enter the formation—preferably all Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm)."
