Chapter 284: An Attack from the Abyss

In the air above Chuyang Peak…

Jiang Ming turned his head as he took in his surroundings. The Tianyuan Realm had become completely different than when they first arrived here. There were divine lights everywhere and the air was pervaded with Immortal Spirit Natural Aura.

He grabbed the air in front of him. When he opened his hand, there was a wisp of Immortal Spirit Natural Aura in the center of his palm.

“The concentration of Immortal Spirit Natural Aura isn’t enough.”

When the thought surfaced in his head, he waved his hand and 49 Heavenly Star Swords appeared out of thin air. They all floated in the air and glowed brightly in divine light.

He had completely refined these Heavenly Star Swords when he was in the Supreme Pagoda.

Using the Saint Province Dao Square to hide their presence, he distributed the Heavenly Star Swords into every corner of the Tianyuan Realm and formed the Heavenly Star Sword Formation.

As the formation was activated, the entire Tianyuan Realm shook and surges of Immortal Spirit Natural Aura were drawn into it.

In the meantime, there were 3,000 spatial rifts around each Heavenly Star Sword. In the blink of an eye, the concentration of Immortal Spirit Natural Aura in the Tianyuan Realm increased by leaps and bounds.

It didn’t take long for clouds of Immortal Spirit Natural Aura to be formed over the Tianyuan Realm and rain of immortal spirit began to fall.

Most of the people in the Tianyuan Realm noticed the changes. However, most of them knew that this must be the doing of that supreme being from the Jiuyang Sect. All of them were excited, and even the experts in the Jiuyang Sect were overwhelmed with joy.

Mountain Master Tian Yuan came out to the courtyard. He looked into the distance and he saw something that other people couldn’t see through his divine eyes .

“Incredible! In another few years, this place will be another Sage Realm Dao Province.”

He took a step forward, and in the next second, he arrived at Jiang Ming’s side. He exclaimed, “Way to go, brother. This is something that not even I can do with my current power.”

“Well, I’m just lucky enough to come across some opportunities!” Jiang Ming laughed.

“Opportunity, huh. For me, this place is my biggest opportunity!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan said as he gazed into the distance.

“Right now, the Abyss is on the rise and they’re attacking our homeland. Although chaos is nigh, this sudden change of events will still attract the attention of many people, especially the Abyss. I’m sure they’ll stop at nothing.”

“I hope they know their own place!” Jiang Ming said, his gaze cold.

The Abyss?

He was not afraid of them at all.

A divine light flowed in his eyes and he saw many portals from the Abyss had emerged in various places of the Infinite Realm Battlefield. Countless demons were coming out of the portals, laying waste to everything that crossed their path.

This was a catastrophe.

The land was dyed red and the sea flowed of blood.

Suddenly, Jiang Ming chuckled.

“Speak of the devil!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan sighed, “I hope it isn’t the doing of the Great Demon Venerate.”

“I doubt so!” Jiang Ming shook his head.

If the Great Demon Venerate wanted to rebel against the Heavenly Court, he had to defeat the Heavenly Emperor first.

The Abyss had just been gravely damaged by the “Heavenly Emperor,” and now was the perfect moment to wage a war against the Heavenly Emperor.

But what was happening right now?

Instead of going straight to the Heavenly Emperor, he dispatched his troops all over the place. What would this lead to? Everyone would unite together to fight against him and his troop. Wasn’t this stupid?

Not only that, but there was also a troop coming toward this direction. Obviously, they were coming for him.

A battle had just happened here and several venerates were dead. There was no way they would go down without putting up a fight.

And now, not only was he going to attack the Heavenly Court, but he was going to attack him as well?

In Jiang Ming’s opinion, this was a really bad call.

On the Tianyuan Sea.

Riyue Changfeng emerged from his palace. He glanced at the Tianyuan Realm and sighed, “He’s truly fast. It has only been such a short time and he has already finished refining all 49 Great Overarching Dao Vessels. Not only that, but he has used them to form a formation as well.”

His figure vanished, and in the next second, he appeared on top of the palace. He looked around and shook his head. “The Great Dao is right before us, yet they still want to have a war. What’s the point? It’s just the game of a few figures that stand on the top.”

“Aren’t they fighting for the Great Dao?” Jiang Ming said as he appeared beside him.

Since he did not have to worry about the Tianyuan Realm anymore, he came to the Tianyuan Sea to prevent this place from getting destroyed.

“Great Dao?” Riyue Changfeng shook his head, “The Heavenly Emperor of this realm is powerful. Even though he rules over the Heavenly Court, and he’s certainly the most powerful being in this universe, he still stops at the Demi-Sage Realm.”

“Is it really that hard to achieve the Sage Realm?” Jiang Ming frowned. “Generally speaking, if one has come across many opportunities, it shouldn’t be a problem at all.”

“Nope. It’s harder than you think,” Riyue Changfeng said as he looked at him, “Ever since ancient times, there have only been a handful of people who managed to achieve the Sage Realm. Besides, there’s a quota in every great chiliocosm to how many people can reach Sage Realm experts. Once the quota has been filled, it would be extremely hard for other people to reach the Sage Realm.”

“I see. I didn’t know about that at all!” Jiang Ming replied.

“This is to keep the balance of a world,” Riyue Changfeng continued, “There is one easy way to achieve the Sage Realm once the quota has been filled. That’s to kill one Saint Lord!”

Jiang Ming did not know what to say. Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind and he pointed upward. “What if we go there? Would it be easier for us to achieve the Sage Realm?”

“Well, you’re right. If the quota in a great chiliocosm has been filled, it’s indeed easier to reach the Sage Realm by going there. If the quota hasn’t been filled, I suggest you stay here as it’s easier to sanctify your Dao in a great chiliocosm,” Riyue Changfeng said, “However, in your situation, you have less restrictions compared to other people. Once the condition is met, you can ascend into the next level.”

“That’s easy for you to say.” Jiang Ming shook his head.

“Haha!” Riyue Changfeng laughed, “Anyway, what are you going to do with them?”

He pointed at the demon army that was coming at them.

“Let’s get rid of them!” Jiang Ming said.

In the distance, a group of demons were heading toward the Tianyuan Realm. Most of them were demon soldiers, and only a few of them were demon generals or demon lords.

It seemed that this group of demons were unaware of the things that happened here. If not, there was no way they would have the guts to come here.

Within a blink of an eye, the demon army had invaded the southern, eastern, western, and northern regions of the Tianyuan Sea.

As soon as they got here, they pulled out a bottle and poured it into the Tianyuan Sea.

“Those are Archeron Water. It’s filled with negative energy and it could erode everything it touches. A small bottle of it is enough to pollute the entire sea and kill all of the living organisms in it,” Riyue Changfeng said, “Brother Jiang, it seems to me that they’re going to turn this area into a demon realm. I guess someone must be supporting them from the back.”

“Do you know who it is?” Jiang Ming asked. As he was talking, he flicked his finger and a ray of light shot into the air. When it reached the sky, the ray of light exploded into a bolt of bright, white light before spreading out, purifying all of the negative and evil energy it touched.

In that moment, the demons that entered the Tianyuan Realm screamed and groaned in pain. They felt as if someone had spray acid on them as they were pulverized by the light.

Just when the white light was about to purify everything, a black figure appeared and stopped the white light from spreading.

“I know who it is, but I can’t tell you. After all, I have to follow the rules,” Riyue Changfeng said with a smile, “Brother Jiang, if you make a move now, I’m afraid there will be a lot of consequences!”

“If I don’t do anything now, the Tianyuan Sea will be gone!” Jiang Ming flew into the air and cast the Killer Civilization Punch Technique. “Our enemies are in our home right now, so of course, I have to fight back!”

The Killer Civilization Punch Technique required the user to be very close to his target, but things became different when it came to Jiang Ming.

In the blink of an eye, he had cast a total of 3,600 punches and killed all of the demons in the Tianyuan Sea.

“How dare you!” An angry voice belted out from the distance. Immediately after, a sword energy that carried a powerful force came straight at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming raised his fist and intercepted the attack. He looked at the incoming person and said in a grim voice, “It seems like you guys from the Abyss never learn. Since you have the guts to show up here, then I’ll kill you first!”

“Kill me? Hah! How arrogant! Very well, then! I shall kill you today and show to other people that we experts from the Abyss are no pushovers!” The incoming person said, grinning coldly.

He was a young man with silver hair. His entire being was exuding a bright light, and he sported a handsome face.

From his look, he did not seem like a demon from the Abyss at all. However, Jiang Ming knew from a single glance that he was a Demon Venerate.

“Chang Yuan?” Jiang Ming looked at the young man as he frowned.

“You’re the kept man of the Great Demon Concubine, right?”

“How dare you insult me! You must have a death wish!” Chang Yuan Demon Venerate hissed. The crescent-shaped sword in his hand glowed brightly.

“I think you yourself know the best if that’s an insult or not,” Jiang Ming laughed, “Now that the Great Demon Venerate has come out of his seclusion, I wonder how he will punish you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the Worldly Projection and enveloped the young man in it.
