Chapter 135: The First Wave

The instant the Primordial Seal shattered, the demonic territory erupted.

A massive crack ran across the ancient barrier before the last fragments collapsed.

For countless years, the seal had kept the demons imprisoned.

Now nothing stood between them and the Mortal World.

Countless demons surged through the opening.

Their roars shook the mountains, and thick waves of demonic qi swept across the land.

Wherever they passed, trees withered, rivers turned dark, and weaker creatures fled in terror.

The first wave had arrived.

Above the advancing armies, six figures hovered in the air.

Hei Ming looked over the vast demonic forces beneath him, then toward the distant horizon.

"Where are the human experts? I expected them to come rushing out the moment we crossed over."

Yuan Sha laughed.

"Perhaps they’re still hiding behind their little formations."

Xue Kuang licked his lips, his eyes gleaming.

"I hope they have a few worthy opponents. It would be disappointing if this world had grown so weak."

"Why bother looking for opponents?" Mo Ying said coldly. "There will be enough humans to feed our armies."

Gui Sha glanced at him.

"Don’t forget Lord Moro Xuan’s decree. We’re here to collect blood essence and bring it back to him, not to get bogged down in petty fights."

Hei Ming snorted.

"Who said I’d forget? But surely we can enjoy ourselves along the way."

"Just make sure you don’t ruin the mission," Yuan Sha replied.

The two traded hostile looks, but neither pushed it further.

Yan Luo had stayed silent through the whole exchange, his gaze fixed on the Mortal World ahead.

After a moment, he spoke.

"Enough. We have our orders. Lead your armies forward."

The six Primordial Demons descended toward their forces.

At their command, the demonic legions spread across the land, advancing in different directions.

There were so many of them that the earth trembled under their march.

The Mortal World had entered an age of calamity.

Inside the Primordial Sealing Ruin, Zhuge Tianyan stood with Duanmu Cang and Gongsun Lie, watching the distant sky.

Even from here, they could feel the demonic qi spreading across the Mortal World.

"So it has begun," Gongsun Lie said.

Duanmu Cang nodded, his eyes on the horizon.

"Let’s hope those old beasts keep their word."

Zhuge Tianyan said nothing for a moment.

His thoughts drifted back to the trial.

He remembered the strange aura he had sensed on those young cultivators, the one that had reminded him of the anomaly.

He had taken a gamble back then.

Now, with the demons flooding into the Mortal World, he could only hope he hadn’t chosen wrong.

"There’s no telling how bad this will get," Gongsun Lie muttered.

"Then we wait and see," Zhuge Tianyan replied.

The news of the shattered seal spread across the Mortal World.

At the central alliance camp, Mo Xuehan, Gu Chenxiao and Feng Jiutian received the reports almost at the same moment.

For a brief moment, the three leaders simply stared at the information in front of them.

The seal was gone.

The demons had crossed over.

Mo Xuehan rose from her seat.

"Send messengers to every Forbidden Family and Holy Land. They must summon their ancestors at once."

Gu Chenxiao nodded.

"Those old seniors have been in seclusion for countless years. Some haven’t appeared in public since the last demonic war."

"Then they must come out now," Feng Jiutian said. "This is no ordinary invasion. We need every powerful cultivator the Mortal World can gather."

Mo Xuehan turned to the waiting attendants.

"Dispatch the messengers immediately. Make it clear that the seal has broken and the demons have already crossed over. No family or holy land is to delay."

The attendants hurried away.

Gu Chenxiao looked at the map spread across the table.

"We should also mobilize the forces already under the alliance. The Azure Cloud and Iron Mountain Legions must be ready before the demons reach the major territories."

"Agreed," Feng Jiutian said. "Send the order to their commanders and have them prepare for immediate deployment."

Mo Xuehan looked at both men.

"We cannot underestimate this enemy. Until our ancestors arrive, every available force must hold its ground."

The three leaders began issuing orders.

Across the alliance, messengers set out for the Forbidden Families and Holy Lands.

After years of hiding from the world, the ancient ancestors would soon be forced out of seclusion.

At the Black Ridge Mountains, a group of human cultivators was on routine patrol when the sky suddenly darkened.

The leader, a peak Tribulation Transcendence expert, stopped in his tracks.

He looked toward the horizon.

A thick mass of demonic qi was approaching.

"Something is coming!"

The forty cultivators behind him gathered their spiritual energy at once.

Most were at the Body Integration Realm, and the rest at the Void Refining Realm.

Before they could retreat, a terrifying roar shook the mountains.

A massive demon emerged from the demonic mist.

Its body was covered in dark scales, and a spiked mace rested in its enormous hand.

Its aura was no weaker than a Tribulation Transcendence expert’s.

The leader’s expression changed.

"A Demonic Emperor!"

He raised his weapon.

"Send word to the alliance! The demons have reached Black Ridge!"

One of the cultivators behind him took out a communication talisman.

But before he could activate it, the Demonic Emperor swung its mace.

A wave of demonic energy swept across the mountain.

"Defend!"

The cultivators released their attacks together.

Sword lights, spiritual flames and powerful techniques collided with the incoming force.

The explosion shook the surrounding peaks.

Several cultivators were thrown backward, crashing against the rocky slopes.

The Demonic Emperor barely paused.

It charged through the remaining attacks and appeared in front of the leader.

The man’s pupils shrank.

He raised his weapon to block, but the mace smashed through his defense.

A second strike followed.

His body was crushed beneath the blow.

The remaining cultivators stared in horror.

"Retreat!"

They scattered in all directions, but the demonic army had already surrounded the mountain.

Countless demons poured out of the mist.

The first clash ended in slaughter.

By the time the news reached the alliance, the patrol was gone.

The demons had made their first move, and the Mortal World had already lost its first lives.

Far away, in the Lin Clan’s territory, Lin Hao sat in his quiet sanctuary with a cup of tea beside him.

The system had already told him the seal had fallen.

He didn’t need to hear it again.

He leaned back in his seat.

The Mortal World was about to face a calamity unlike anything in countless years.

The human forces were already mobilizing.

But the ancient families and holy lands would need time to bring their strongest ancestors out of seclusion.

Time was something the Mortal World might not have.

And there was a mission with a very mysterious reward waiting.

Besides, the Lin Clan had more than enough strength to make a difference.

Its True Immortals and Earth Immortals were inside the Time Tower, mastering the weapons he had given them.

Their strength had improved enormously.

It was time to put it to use.

He set down his teacup.

"Lin Wei."

A moment later, Lin Wei appeared in front of him.

"Ancestor."

"The seal has broken. The demons are in the Mortal World."

Lin Wei’s expression turned serious.

"Then the war has begun."

"Yes. We won’t sit back and watch the world fall into their hands."

Lin Hao rose from his seat.

"Tell the clan elders to mobilize. Summon every True Immortal and Earth Immortal from the Time Tower. It’s time for them to come out."
