Free Web NovelChapter 1841: Chapter 872: The Demon God’s Descent!
Southern Border, Futu Mountain.
Chen Yuan stepped out of the void, his figure slowly condensing. A wisp of invisible power rapidly rippled out, shrouding the surroundings; within a hundred miles, there was not the slightest trace of life.
The Emperor Slaughter Saber... having broken through to Immortal Weapon, Chen Yuan did not tarry long before leaving the starry sky, rushing to the place indicated by this opportunity—Futu Mountain.
The opportunity lay ahead; that was now the most important matter.
Of course, he had still tested the power of the "Human Emperor Saber". It did not disappoint him—after devouring a powerhouse of the Demon Emperor Realm, the Human Emperor Saber could absolutely be called a peerless Immortal Weapon.
It was on par with the God Slaying Spear. In comparison, the price he had paid was well worth it.
Because the Human Emperor Saber was something that could accompany him for a very long road, nurtured from his weakness onward, mind and blade in Unity. This was something the God Slaying Spear could not do. In the future, as Chen Yuan’s cultivation rose higher and higher...
It was foreseeable that the Human Emperor Saber might even reach a height where none before and none after could compare.
And during his return, Chen Yuan had more or less learned of the current movements of the Demon Race. Although the Demons’ lair had yet to be found, Moluo had already discovered the existence of a Demon God.
And had suppressed it, merely waiting for Chen Yuan to return and decide how to deal with it.
With that, the remaining matters would be far easier to handle. As long as they found Demon Emperor Mo Ying and the current hiding place of the Demon Race, the first stage of this southern campaign to exterminate demons would be complete.
However, this matter still had to be handed over to Moluo and the old Heavenly Master and the others. He... needed to first step into late Earth Immortal Realm!
Divine Thought covered heaven and earth, shrouding Futu Mountain.
"Rumble..."
Accompanied by the sound of ground rending and sky collapsing, everything within a hundred miles trembled as though an Earth Dragon was turning over. That towering, hundred-zhang Futu Mountain actually began to crack open bit by bit.
With a single thought... split the mountain!
About half a quarter of an hour later, the commotion between heaven and earth subsided, and a huge fissure opened from the middle of Futu Mountain, like a road, opening everything toward Chen Yuan.
Then, he quickly turned into a streak of flowing light and dove in.
Beneath Futu Mountain, there was indeed another Grotto Heaven. On the surface it appeared to be a mountain, but in truth it was an enormous volcano, merely located several thousand zhang deep underground.
Thus, it was impossible to see from the surface.
And as Chen Yuan approached, he clearly sensed a dense aura of Gold Element Rules; compared to the outside world, it could be said to have manifested incomparably completely.
When Chen Yuan went down ten thousand zhang deep, the Heavenly Eye he had kept open finally saw a cyan glow of Qi Fortune!
"This is... rules spilling from a treasure..." Chen Yuan’s gaze slightly tightened, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes, for this time’s rules-opportunity was completely different from before.
Previously, it had all been rules manifested through heaven and earth.
But this time, it was rules power diffusing from an object.
In front of Chen Yuan hung a broken, golden great seal, slowly rotating, ceaselessly spilling out dense Five Elements Gold Rules, extremely thick.
"The South Emperor Seal..."
Chen Yuan pondered for a moment. In his memory, it seemed only in Shan Fu’s memories had there been a treasure similar to this, belonging to the Martial Emperor, together with the East Emperor Stele and two other treasures.
Together they were called the Martial Emperor’s Four Treasures!
This was one of them. Only, judging from its appearance, it seemed already shattered, unable to suppress the leakage of its own rules, and its inherent Spirit had already perished.
"Could it be that several thousand years ago, the Martial Emperor did not ascend to the True Immortal Domain, but instead... encountered some terrifying enemy? If so, did he win, or did he lose?"
Chen Yuan’s thoughts flowed unceasingly as he speculated, but unfortunately what he currently knew was far too little. Shan Fu’s memories, after being suppressed for thousands of years, had already developed a severed gap.
Even if he wished to dig deeper, there was no way.
After a long while, he let out a long breath. Then, he sat down cross-legged beneath the broken South Emperor Seal and began comprehending the Five Elements Gold Rules. Thinking too much was useless.
The urgent task at hand was Enlightenment!
...
Time flowed on. In the blink of an eye, a full two months had passed since the previous battle in the starry sky. In these two months, under the leadership of Cheng Tian and the Demon God Qing Ming, the Demon Race had suffered defeat after defeat.
They were fundamentally no match for the Human Race’s Earth Immortal Moluo. Among them, both Qing Ming and Cheng Tian had been suppressed one after another, losing their freedom. The one leading everything now was that Demon strategist, the White Mountain Demon God.
He was buying time for Mo Ying, desperately entangling himself with Moluo, trading casualties for time. As for Mo Ying, though hatred churned ceaselessly in his heart, he maintained his shock throughout.
He knew very clearly that he was the true hope of the Demon Race.
As long as the Luo Tian Demon God could descend into this world, he would still have a chance!
"At last... it’s done."
Looking at the hundred-zhang sacrificial altar before him, Mo Ying’s heart was filled with excitement and trepidation. Excited because the Demon Race had expended countless resources, laboring for two months, and had finally completed everything the Luo Tian Demon God had instructed.
Carved upon it were Divine Marks even he could not understand. Every single line seemed naturally formed, containing an incomparably vast and mysterious power.
The Demon Race was finally saved!
What frightened him was his fear that the Luo Tian Demon God would go back on his word. He very much did not want to die; otherwise, he would never have submitted to the Luo Tian Demon God, thereby securing a path to survival.
Now, it was only because he was forced by Chen Yuan’s overwhelming might that he had no choice but to beseech the Luo Tian Demon God to descend.
But in the end, excitement outweighed fear. He took a deep breath and stepped up the high platform step by step. Soon, he reached the top of the altar and sat down cross-legged.
