Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 994: Chapter 498: True Demon of Divine Realm

Desolate, silent, dim.

It’s not entirely accurate to say this is a dead realm, for chaos here includes both life and death, vitality and death intertwine without any conflict, miraculously transforming one into the other.

Life turns to death, death turns to life.

Here, it’s not just life and death; almost everything in the world can be seen in its endless miniature form. Yin and Yang rotate here, Qian Heaven and Kun Earth hang inverted, form and formlessness converge, as if nothing is distinguished from one another.

The limitless heaven and earth, formless and shapeless, creation in myriad phases—a symbol of the Dao of all opposing forces, including the endless universe Origin Dao of Creation, alongside the Void Dao that bears all, and the Time Dao witnessing everything.

Amidst that nebulous shapeless gloom,

A grand formation of pitch-black is gathered here as if etched into the void, opened with rolling demonic Qi as its essence. At the heart of the formation lies a massive vortex, emitting an ancient, desolate, mottled, and weathered aura, starkly different from the heaven and earth of the Da Xuan world, as if connecting to some terrifying boundary!

Just a glance into the vortex could shock and detach one’s mind, plunging them into endless change.

At this moment.

Before this vast formation stretching thousands of feet in the void.

Dozens of pitch-black demon shadows stand tall, numbering over twenty, most emanating a bizarre and changing momentum, conspicuously all reaching Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon!

In the Primordial Era, so many heavenly demons weren’t unusual; demons ran rampant in the world, humans merely survived in the cracks between these living beings, and Ninth Rank heavenly demons were akin to the current Blood Exchange Realm Martial Man, perhaps slightly stronger due to their myriad tactics and insidious cunning, appearing quite dangerous, but not overwhelmingly so.

But now.

In the time when the Ancient Demon Clan has long faded from the world stage, vanished into the river of history, to have more than twenty Ninth Rank Heavenly Demons gather in one place is a truly terrifying situation.

Such numerous heavenly demons, if they all act together, could plunge the entire Cold North Eleven Northern States into ruin, swiftly causing an unprecedented demon calamity in a corner of Da Xuan Dynasty!

But.

Now, these numerous heavenly demons have not left the underground of Sha Prefecture, have not stirred chaos in the world; their semi-illusory dark forms standing here seem to express a respectful sentiment.

In front of these twenty plus Ninth Rank Heavenly Demons, stand three beings with even deeper, more solidifying refinement auras, their surrounding dark Qi nearly solidifying, forming an exterior image resembling human form, yet without visage or shape, appearing like floating black cloaks, deep and ancient.

Even the level of Marrow-Cleansing Grandmasters standing here, a glance at them would shake their soul heart!

Tenth Rank!

These are the Tenth Rank Absolute Heavenly Demons of the ancient history recorded in Da Xuan, known as the most terrifying beings, more frightening than even Tenth Rank demons—shapeless, formless, transforming reality and illusion, appearing and disappearing without a trace, their methods attacking directly one’s soul heart, hardly defended against unless of the same rank, or possessing strong soul heart will, otherwise just a glance could collapse one’s soul heart, succumbing to demonic ways.

"Chi, you cannot let that person near this place, go and hold them off."

One Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon, with demonic Qi rolling around, seems communicating with another Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon.

"This person’s strength is extraordinary, impeccable in physique and soul heart, at least reaching Divine Under Fourth Rank level. Relying on my own strength won’t hold them off for long, Wu, join me in this."

The Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon known as ’Chi’, with demonic Qi stirring all over, doesn’t refuse but after a brief silence speaks to the other demon ’Wu’.

"Alright."

Wu doesn’t say much, a slight ripple moves through its demonic Qi.

Chi’s figure flickers, turbulent demonic Qi encircling, then its body is cast upward, simultaneously throwing a glance toward the Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon who spoke first:

"Cang! Wu and I may not be able to stop that person, you must contact the Ancestral Realm, lest this one kills here, all our long preparations will be in vain, affecting the Ancestral Realm’s plan."

"Go, I understand the weight of this."

The one called ’Cang’, a Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon, replies indifferently.

Then, after his response, Chi and Wu, the two Tenth Rank Heavenly Demons, transform into two pitch-black demon clouds, disappearing into the void towards above, soon vanishing into the Earth’s veins above.

Cang remains poised at the center of the massive eerie formation, surrounded by numerous Ninth Rank Heavenly Demons, its pitch-black essence silently morphing into a ghastly white face, peculiar beyond words, like a thin white mask.

The face gazes toward the direction Chi and Wu departed, seemingly showing a human-like ’frowning’ expression.

How could such a powerful being suddenly emerge in this realm?

Cang is deeply puzzled.

After a great ancient war, it has slept here, unaware of how many years it slumbered, until one day, amidst the void, received a call from the Ancestral Realm, finally waking, immediately attempting to probe this realm.
