775 Lower Realm (1/2)
Whoosh whoosh!
Fang Yuan flew away in strong gusts of wind without looking back, even when the channel was sealed again and the Demon Gods launched a destructive attack.
”Dream Demon…” He suddenly heard a soft voice. ”What is your real identity?”
”Erag, what do you think?”
Fang Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he flew onward at lightning speed.
”We kept an eye on all the Demon Spirits and Demon Generals on the Mental Demon Battlefield who had a chance to advance to Demon Master… but none of them looked like you… Therefore, you must be a traitor from the Gods!”
Erag was sure of her deduction.
”Hehe…”
As a Demon Master, it was obviously peculiar of Fang Yuan to head for the Spiritual Realm when he could have gone to the Mental Demon Realm, so he remained silent.
”All of this doesn't matter. What matters is… whether you can give us what we want!” The voices of Nine Heads and the Life-and-Death Crow were also heard in the wind.
”Freedom?” Fang Yuan let out a sigh.
Demon Masters had definitely hated being confined to the Mental Demon Battlefield, and the freedom they desired was to roam in the Mental Demon Realm.
At the very least, they had to leave this secluded Mental Demon Battlefield and enjoy the freedom of going anywhere in the Spiritual Realm.
”If you want to break free, seize the only chance now!” Fang Yuan laughed out loud. ”The Emperors are busy suppressing the Demon Gods, leaving behind loopholes in the Massive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array… When will we have a better chance than now to break through the barrier?”
From the beginning, he had been rushing toward the Realm Gates.
”Break through the barrier? All right!” Erag gazed at Fang Yuan. ”Your realm is infinitely close to 10-Essence, isn't it? It's said that Demon Masters at 10-Essence can see their Dao clearly and make up for their deficiencies to progress to the Demon God realm! And the 11-Essence and 12-Essence realms afterward are no longer predictable by us common Demon Masters…”
”That's nothing more than a problem about the foundation's perfection!” Fang Yuan curled his lips.
The advancement to Demon God was only related to the completeness of their Dao path and did not have much to do with a Demon Master's strength.
That was analogous to the difference in foundation between advancing to a Sage from Seventh Tier Illusionary Divine as opposed to Ninth Tier Illusionary Divine.
Zap! Zap!
The Demon Masters arrived at the Realm Gates, disregarding the place's horrible aura.
They would have encountered the defenses from the Heaven Palace on any other day.
However, the most powerful Gods of each military division who were supposed to be guarding the gates were now fighting on the Myriad Thunder Plain. A few of them had been badly injured by Fang Yuan, and it was hard for them even to catch up with the Demon Masters.
”The Mental Demon channel has been suppressed by the Emperors, so there's no hope for us to escape. The only chance for us to survive is to hide in the Spiritual Realm!”
If they did not run away while the Emperors were busy with the battle, they would probably never escape.
All the Demon Masters reached an agreement within a moment.
Fang Yuan immediately punched the giant Realm Gates with his Chaos Divine Fist.
Thump!
The gates shook; numerous cracks emerged on the gates and began to spread.
”Indeed… Not only is the Celestial Thearch absent from the heart of the array, but many Ancient Gods were deployed to assist the Emperors in the battle as well. How much power could be left in this Massive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array?”
The Life-and-Death Crow laughed, sending two powerful waves hitting the gates. At the same time, Nine Heads and Erag each launched an attack as well.
Rumble!
The Realm Gates entirely opened up in the deafening noise.
At this moment, many cultivators in the Spiritual Realm looked up at the sky.
All of them saw that a purple star, for unknown reasons, suddenly shone so brightly that the green star beside it became almost invisible, stirring up ominous feelings in every cultivator.
The Heavenly Court.
Palaces had collapsed and scared spiritual cranes flew off into the sky.
”What happened?”
Heavenly Consort Yun Xiang went outside her palace. A suspicious glow flashed in her eyes as she gazed at the continuously changing stellar array.
”Some Demon Masters forcibly broke through the Realm Gates… They escaped from the battlefield and seem to be heading toward the lower realm!”
The few Ancient Gods left behind in the Heavenly Court were startled by the scene and frozen in fear.
”Where's the Emperor? How could this happen?”
The Heavenly Consort was secretly pleased, but acted as though she was filled with anger and astonishment.
”The Emperor is collaborating with other Ancient Gods to seal the Demon Gods… A Mental Demon channel has somehow been opened on the Mental Demon Battlefield… What the…”
The expression of the Heavenly Consort changed constantly when she received the large amount of information.
The chaos on the Mental Demon Battlefield could help Ancient Netherworld escape, but what about the arrival of beings from the Mental Demon Realm?
That was not necessarily good news to a sealed Demon God.
Rumble!
The Heavenly Court shook again, and the ground cracked.
The purple silhouettes of a few beings emerged from the sky and immediately turned into giant purple meteors that shot down toward the lower realm.
All the Heavenly Gods witnessing this scene turned pale. ”Demon stars are arriving in the lower realm. Isn't this the sign of an imminent apocalypse?”
But there was no time for them to lament.
Aw! Aw!
