319: Rifts are shifting, demonic tide is surging

Shen Yuanmo slowly withdrew his Divine Sense from the vast star map, forcibly calming his mind that was violently agitated by overwhelming joy.

He lowered his eyelids, his gaze falling upon his palm.

That Void Returning Ancient Demon core had already lost all its luster, ice-cold to the touch, and was no different from an ordinary grey stone.

His fingertips moved slightly, and he placed it into his Storage Ring.

Although the Origin energy within it had been exhausted, its material itself was still a Void Returning-level treasure, and it might have other uses in the future.

After finishing all this, he finally settled his mind and turned his gaze inward to inspect his own body.

The chaos myriad dao nascent soul was sitting cross-legged in his Dantian, and the chaotic airflow surrounding it was surging into his limbs and bones at any cost.

His Physical Body, which had been on the verge of collapse with shattered bones and destroyed Meridians, had now been reconstructed by thirty to forty percent.

Although he was still in a severely injured state, at least he was no longer in danger of losing his life, and he had recovered basic mobility.

"It is time to leave."

Shen Yuanmo said to himself.

The gains from this trip far exceeded his expectations.

Not only did he kill a Soul Transformation Great Perfection and a dying Void Returning Ancient Demon, obtaining two incredibly precious demon cores.

Furthermore, by a stroke of Opportunity, he obtained a star map leading to the Spirit Realm, pointing the way for his future Dao.

However, just as his mana shifted slightly and he was about to set off.

Suddenly! Rumble—!!!

A dull, thunderous roar originating from the deepest part of space caused the entire Demon Abyss Fissure to tremble violently!

A spatial fluctuation, more violent and chaotic than at any previous moment, swept over from the depths of the fissure, as if an invisible giant beast were awakening!

"What is happening?"

Shen Yuanmo's expression changed drastically.

He could clearly perceive that this already fragile space was heading toward total collapse at an irreversible speed!

Pitch-black Void Realm rifts were crazily spawning and spreading within his Divine Sense, like a spiderweb crawling over glass.

He dared not show the slightest negligence, and his immense Divine Sense, comparable to the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, swept out with a boom, probing against the source of the Chaos.

In an instant, he discerned the root of the mutation.

"So that's how it is..."

A wry smile that could not be described appeared on Shen Yuanmo's face.

The reason this Demon Abyss Fissure had been able to remain stable here for ten thousand years was not because its own structure was solid.

The real reason was that sleeping Void Returning Ancient Demon.

Its Void Return Domain, which it radiated at all times, acted invisibly as a "suppressor" for this scar on the world, forcibly anchoring the spatial coordinates here.

Now, he had killed this Ancient Demon with his own hands.

This fissure had lost its final suppressing force.

The chaotic Law and spatial pressure that had accumulated within it for ten thousand years had finally completely lost balance!

It was about to... erupt completely!

A strong sense of foreboding gripped Shen Yuanmo's heart.

He could no longer care about the injuries on his body; his figure flickered, turning into a dim stream of light, pushing his speed to the limit as he rushed crazily toward the exit of the Demon Abyss Fissure!

However, his speed was ultimately one step too slow!

Just as his figure was about to rush out of the fissure.

Boom—!!!

A loud noise that seemed to make the whole world wail came booming from the deepest part of the fissure!

That scar on the world that had existed for ten thousand years was, at this moment, completely torn apart by an irresistible force!

Endless, thick, ink-like chaotic Devilish Qi, mixed with countless violent spatial turbulences, was like a breached heavenly river, or an erupting super volcano.

With a world-destroying posture, it poured crazily toward the Northern Plains outside the fissure!

The Demon Tide!

The centennial Demon Tide that was supposed to arrive slowly in a few months.

Because Shen Yuanmo killed that Void Returning Ancient Demon, it had actually arrived early, and on a terrifying scale far exceeding any previous time!

"Damn it!"

Shen Yuanmo's figure was forcibly pushed out of the fissure exit by that terrifying torrent of Devilish Qi!

He forcibly steadied his figure in mid-air and turned around abruptly.

He saw that the pitch-black fissure spanning the firmament was expanding crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye!

A thousand miles! Five thousand miles! Ten thousand miles!

In just a few breaths, the sky of the Northern Plains was completely torn open and occupied by a hideous wound tens of thousands of miles long!

Endless Devilish Qi, like a black waterfall, poured down from the Nine Heavens, wanting to dye the entire Northern Plains into a despairing pitch-black!

And within that torrent of Devilish Qi, countless Ancient Demons of various hideous and terrifying forms let out silent roars, spreading crazily in all directions like a locust plague sweeping across the world!

Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense swept across.

His gaze pierced through the layers of Devilish Qi and landed at the very forefront of the Demon Tide's impact.

Demon Suppressing City.

That majestic city standing alone on the ice plains; at this moment, the City Protection Grand Array in the city, which had been passed down for ten thousand years, had its light pushed to the limit!

A black Black Tortoise phantom, condensed from iron-blooded Evil Qi, was letting out a silent roar, using its turtle shell to tenaciously resist the Demon Tide that was crashing down like a tsunami!

On the city wall, Meng Tian's burly figure stood like a needle calming the sea.

On his face, there was no fear, only a dead silence of determination and tragedy!

"Demon Suppressing Army! Fight to the death!"

Accompanying his roar that resounded through the sky.

On the city wall, thousands of soldiers wearing black armor simultaneously drew their bows and nocked their arrows!

"Release!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Thousands of arrows shimmering with demon-breaking runes converged into a dense rain of arrows, whistling as they plunged into that black Demon Tide!

However, such an attack appeared so pale and weak in front of that endless Demon Tide.

The rain of arrows plunged into it, unable to stir up even the slightest insignificant ripple, and was completely corroded and swallowed by the violent Devilish Qi!

"It's over..."

Looking at the terrifying Demon Tide before him that far exceeded his imagination, a trace of despair finally appeared in Meng Tian's eyes.

He knew that Demon Suppressing City was finished.

With their strength alone, it was absolutely impossible to resist a natural disaster of this scale!

The city would fall, the people would die; it was only a matter of time!

Just at this desperate moment.

A calm voice, yet containing supreme majesty, sounded clearly in the ears of everyone on the city wall without any warning.

"General Meng, guard this city well."

Meng Tian looked up abruptly, looking in the direction from which the voice came.

He saw that before the Demon Tide that blotted out the sky and sun.

A figure drenched in blood was already quietly floating in mid-air, he knew not when.

He stood with his back to Demon Suppressing City, alone, facing the terrifying Demon Tide capable of swallowing everything!

"Lord Divine General!"

Meng Tian exclaimed, and in his dead eyes, an unbelievable wild joy and hope erupted instantly!

He was actually... still alive!

However, the next moment, the wild joy on his face solidified into endless horror!

Because he saw that the figure, instead of retreating, was slowly raising a tattered, ancient-looking longsword in his hand.

A terrifying Sword Intent, resolute to the extreme, as if it wanted to poke a hole in this sky, rose into the sky from his body!

What did he want to do?

Could it be that he wanted to confront this world-destroying Demon Tide with his own strength alone?!

Just under Meng Tian's horrified gaze.

Shen Yuanmo moved.

He did not rush toward the endless Demon Tide, but turned around, turned into a stream of light, and rushed again toward the source of the Demon Abyss Fissure that was expanding crazily!

A thought even crazier and bolder than confronting the Demon Tide suddenly formed in his mind!

Blocking it, it could not be blocked!

Since that was the case, then he would not block it!

He would use Chaos as a furnace, and the myriad Laws as fire, to take this Demon Abyss Fissure that was destroying the world, along with the endless Devilish Qi and Ancient Demons within it.

Refine them... all!
