287: The ancient seal is broken, and the ancient demons appear!

"Let's go, we're going back."

Xia Fan glanced at the Magic Cat and the Black Dragon King, who were curiously looking at him, then motioned for them to leave together.

This trip to the Thunder Immortal Realm was a huge harvest.

He hadn't expected to encounter the Source of Thunder here, nor had he expected that Immortal Lord Azure Water would have such a good attitude towards him, not competing with him.

As his voice fell, Xia Fan, with the help of the eastern emperor bell, opened up a spatial rift, then had the Black Dragon King take him and the Magic Cat into it, heading straight for Yunxia Mountain in Jiangnan.

After being out for so long, he didn't know how his subordinates in Yunxia Mountain were doing, and it was time to go back and check... The Thunder Immortal Realm attracted many fierce beasts, but most of them returned disappointed.

The lucky ones obtained some immortal techniques or learned a little about ancient times, while the unlucky ones, like the Descendant of the Earth Mother and the Monkey King, were either severely injured, had their clones destroyed, or even lost their lives.

On this day, somewhere in Great Xia.

Crack—

In a silent forest, a crisp sound erupted, followed by a large amount of black aura surging out, accompanied by a rampant voice.

"Hahaha!"

"I'm out, I'm out!"

"Hahaha..."

Instantly, several Demon Soldiers rushed out. They looked back at the remaining traces beside them and couldn't help but curse, "These damned seals are finally broken!"

"Now that our race has reappeared, this world should be under our control!"

They were the ancient demons, and the remaining traces were ancient seals.

In Great Xia and other parts of the world, ancient seals were continuously breaking, some perhaps containing rare fruits of heaven and earth that had been sealed for countless years, now appearing in the current era.

Somewhere on the Tropical Continent, a fifth-rank fierce beast twitched its nose several times, seemingly catching a tempting scent.

It eagerly followed the scent, and soon after found a light green fruit, which it immediately devoured.

Buzz—

Soon after, a powerful aura erupted from its body, and its cultivation realm soared like a rocket, breaking through to the early seventh rank in a short moment, becoming one of the powerhouses of the current era!

Such a huge change made the fierce beast ecstatic.

Afterward, it began to wander continuously across the Tropical Continent, hoping to devour another similar spiritual fruit to increase its strength!

News like this was countless.

Ancient seals hidden all over the world almost erupted in a concentrated manner during this period, revealing themselves one after another.

They either sealed spiritual fruits of heaven and earth, or ancient demons, or even powerful weapons!

The other two types were fine, but when the ancient demons emerged from their seals, they quickly occupied the areas around the seal locations, and wantonly massacred within them, expanding their territory at an extremely fast pace.

For a time, wherever ancient demons appeared, disasters were constant, and many humans were slaughtered by the ancient demons, dying with grievances.

The ancient demons had been dormant for so many years, and now that they were released, their behavior was extremely insane, basically not hiding their murderous cruelty. They would kill any creature that didn't belong to the demon race without hesitation.

In fact, these ancient demons appearing all over the world were not top-tier in strength in the current era; most of them only had sixth or seventh-rank strength.

Currently, there were still many fierce beasts that had reached the sixth rank and were constantly advancing towards the seventh rank.

It's just that... the ancient demons were already a huge threat to later generations; wherever the ancient demons passed, humans basically had no power to resist!

On this day, in the original Pacific Ocean region, on a solitary island.

This island was surrounded by water on all sides, and its area was not large, so no one lived there, but there was a deep cave in the island, the bottom of which connected to the sea.

"Rumble—"

The originally silent island suddenly vibrated violently, and then countless dark demonic auras gushed out from the caves, instantly filling the area, and the demonic auras continued to surge, occupying the entire island!

"My Lord!"

As time passed, several Demon Soldiers walked out from within.

They all stood respectfully in front of an incredibly dense mass of demonic aura, with downcast eyes, "The trash here has all been cleaned up, you may come out."

"Hmm."

When a deep voice sounded, an arm stretched out from the demonic aura.

Then, a figure dozens of feet tall appeared in the cave inside the island. This demon powerhouse merely moved his body slightly, causing the entire island to tremble.

He seemed to find it a bit cramped here, so he waved his hand, pushing aside the soil and rocks above his head, and then spoke with a smile, "This Lord... has returned!"

"Humans, tremble!"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Soldiers exchanged glances, and finally, one of them bravely stepped forward, "My Lord, we... the place we are currently in has no human life."

"Hmm? Humans are extinct?"

"That's not it."

The Demon Soldier shook his head, "When we came out, we found ourselves on an island, surrounded by the sea. We didn't see a second island or any traces of human activity within tens of thousands of miles."

"As for further away, we haven't explored yet."

Hearing this, the demon powerhouse fell silent.

After pondering for a moment, he sighed helplessly, "Never mind, the sealed location is not something This Lord can choose, and besides, with the vast changes over time, it's normal for things from countless years ago to have disappeared after the terrain changed greatly."

"Come, follow This Lord to see the current world."

"Yes!"

A group of Demon Soldiers followed behind the demon powerhouse to the edge of the island.

Behind them, an endless stream of demons continued to emerge from the seal, quickly occupying the entire island, eventually leading to many demons having to stand in the sea.

"This Lord senses that there are also living beings here."

The demon powerhouse narrowed his eyes, and after saying this, he directly took a step, his figure quickly disappearing.

Soon, he arrived in the nearby sea, moving freely underwater, and successfully found a seventh-rank sea beast—a giant crab.

Although the giant crab felt that the newcomer was very strong, its pair of huge pincers were not to be trifled with. It immediately roared furiously, "Dare to trespass into This King's territory? You're courting death!"

"You're the one courting death!"

The demon powerhouse only said this, and with a slight raise of his hand, he instantly obliterated the seventh-rank giant crab.

The giant crab powerhouse was only horrified in the second before its life force was cut off, "Eighth-rank!"

This demon powerhouse was indeed eighth-rank; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill a seventh-rank sea beast so easily!
