Chapter 525: Massive Demon Outbreak, Demon God's Fang, You Still Think You Can Leave?

The battle between Tantai Qing and Helian Wen had drawn the attention of countless people on Immortal Ascension Island.

The main city was packed with people, and at this moment, hardly anyone was paying attention to anything else.

But just as the two were locked in fierce combat, a faint tremor emanated from the distant depths of the Demon Abyss.

Within the endless fissure that seemed to span half of Immortal Ascension Island, astral winds howled and miasma spewed forth. Wisps of deep Demonic Qi converged into a fog, which then began to surge out like a tide.

The Demons that survived in the Demon Abyss, corrupted by the Demonic Qi, began crawling out of the chasm as if they had received a command.

Many humanoid creatures leaped high from within. The moment they landed, the mountains shook and the earth quaked, spreading terrifying fissures across the land. The nearby mountain ranges and Ancient Primeval Forests fell deathly silent.

Upon appearing, these creatures surged toward the outermost edge of the Demon Abyss like a mighty, unstoppable tide.

Before them, the mountains and trees in their path were like paper, torn to shreds in an instant.

The cultivators responsible for patrolling the Demon Abyss were the first to witness this, and in their terror, they hastily sent word of the invasion.

But the Patrol Guard, which was normally a unified force, had long since collapsed due to the schism between the three great Guardian Noble Families, with each contingent now fending for itself.

With such a large-scale Demon attack erupting from the Demon Abyss, they had no idea who to report to.

Furthermore, the scale of this Demon uprising far surpassed any previous one. Not only was their number as terrifying as a tidal wave,

but one could even see that these Demons seemed to possess some intelligence. It was as if this was all premeditated, not just a chaotic rampage.

WHOOOO…

In the cities guarding the borders of the Demon Abyss, horns instantly blared. The many cultivators who rushed to the top of the walls all gasped in unison, nearly forgetting to breathe.

At the far end of the horizon, a cloud of dust billowed. A dark, tide-like mass of Demons was laying waste to mountains and forests as it continuously charged forward.

The earth trembled with a deep RUMBLE. In the sky, one giant Demon after another could be seen. Shaped like golden eagles or perhaps heavenly sparrows, they spread their wings and arrived with a shriek.

Their wings, spanning hundreds of feet, were like clouds hanging from the sky, blotting out the sun and inspiring terror at a single glance.

From the depths of the Demon Abyss, a pillar of black light erupted, seeming to pierce the heavens and enter the cosmos. It rolled like thick smoke from a signal fire, obscuring everything.

Within that surging, ocean-like black light, a blurry but terrifying figure could be faintly seen. It appeared to be a projection, attempting to descend upon this world from a vast distance.

But from within the Demon Abyss, the sound of chanting sutras and the CLANKING of dragging chains echoed between heaven and earth, seeking to bind the figure. It was as if the Three Saints of old were manifesting, using their supreme Holy Might to suppress the strange transformation.

This terrifying sight made the cultivators and all living beings in the border cities tremble with a heartfelt, bone-chilling fear.

“The seal left by the Three Saints has manifested…”

“Something has gone terribly wrong in the Demon Abyss…”

“Of all days, it had to be today, just when everyone is focused on the conflict between the Tantai Family and the Helian Family. The timing is just too perfect.”

Many felt a profound sense of unease and terror. Their blood ran cold as, for the first time, they felt the Demon Calamity breathing down their necks.

If the seal in the depths of the Demon Abyss were broken and the passage reopened, Immortal Ascension Island would be plunged into a living hell—a Fiery Prison on earth.

With Immortal Ascension Island as the foothold, the entire Nine Provinces Land would face a terrifying cataclysm.

“The Helian Family…”

“It must be the Helian Family! They betrayed their ancestors and colluded with the Demon Race to let them in.”

All sorts of rumors spread through the streets and alleys, all pointing the finger at the Helian Family, whose reputation was now in tatters.

In times of peace, anyone who dared say such a thing would have been swiftly dealt with by the Helian Family.

But now, with the Demons on the attack and the terrifying phenomena at the Demon Abyss, the major cities were all gripped by panic and unease.

Once fear took root in people’s hearts, it wasn’t just rumors that spread. Conflicts and chaos of varying degrees began to erupt in some areas. People took advantage of the turmoil to commit violence, to rob and plunder, hoping to escape Immortal Ascension Island before it completely descended into anarchy.

…

“So, Young Master Jiang is truly a man of honor. To think you’d actually show up for two mere followers?”

“But, just to be safe, you’d best not try any tricks.”

Beyond Jiyun Ridge lay a vast Ancient Primeval Forest, overgrown with thorny brambles and dense foliage, teeming with venomous creatures and poisonous miasma.

Jiang Lan’s appearance caught the few powerful members of the Barbarian Race guarding this path by surprise.

They dared not be careless. They revealed themselves and had their kinsmen watch Jiang Lan’s back to ensure he had come alone.

“Relax. I keep my word. Since I’m here, I’ll naturally abide by our agreement.” Jiang Lan’s expression was casual, showing no sign of worry or tension about walking into the lion’s den alone.

His relaxed demeanor, however, made the Barbarian warriors nervous and suspicious, thinking he was up to something.

It wasn’t until one of them took out a Round Mirror made of bone, scanned the surroundings, and confirmed that Jiang Lan had indeed come alone that they finally relaxed a little.

They then used a communication device to inform their leader before leading Jiang Lan deeper into Jiyun Ridge.

“Jiang Lan actually came?”

“I underestimated him. Still, what a foolish move.”
