Chapter 141: Demons Appear! (1/2)
Under the attraction of the Heaven Gate Key, Nie Tian slowly rose into the air.
OWWW! ROAAAR!
World-shaking howls echoed out of the enormous spacial rifts. It seemed that demons from some unknown land outside the realm were madly summoning their kind.
Even denser purple-black mist rolled out from the spacial rifts, and flowed into the Realm of Flame Heaven.
The demons that had been sealed in the Hell sect for countless years had never given up on escaping. Their originally shriveled bodies expanded rapidly after receiving the nourishment from the purple-black mist.
As Nie Tian was pulled into the air towards the Heaven Gate, he saw a demon that was originally only several dozen meters long rapidly expanded to about fifty meters long.
All of a sudden, that demon tore apart the long chains that had bound it, and broke free of the Hell sect’s imprisonment.
At the same time, a large number of enormous swords that were flickering with multicolored light instantly slashed down from midair!
CRACKLE!
The swollen demon was instantly cut into sizable pieces by the broad, long swords.
Nie Tian floated there aghast. “Are they dead?”
However, it was just a second before his eyes widened even more.
Not a single drop of blood spewed out of the demon’s torn body, and the chunks of flesh seemed to remain their vitality.
Each and every piece continued to squirm about, and rise into the sky, and eventually entered the spacial rifts where monstrous roars constantly echoed out.
Nie Tian was dumbstruck. “Even that didn’t kill it?!”
If it were a human Qi warrior like him, it would have died the moment its body was cut apart.
However, the demon maintained a vigorous life force, and even managed to escape after being cut into pieces.
Nie Tian’s expression turned incomparably serious and grim. “These demons…”
He suddenly began to feel a bit fearful towards those indigenous residents of the Realm of Flame Heaven.
As Li Fan’s former comments struck him, a strange expression suddenly appeared in Nie Tian’s eyes.
These strong and terrifying creatures had once dominated the Realm of Flame Heaven.
However, under the attacks of the human Qi warriors, these strong creatures had eventually lost, and been sealed within the Hell sect as prisoners for thousands of years.
What was the deeper meaning?
The truly strong human Qi warriors had never been blithely trampled upon by anyone, even outsider creatures that strong!
When Qiao Yang, master of the Hell sect, saw the demons breaking free from the constraints of the Demon Trapping Purgatory Formation, his face turned as cold as ice as he shouted, “From now on, all sects of the Realm of Flame Heaven shall prepare yourselves for possible counterattacks by the demons!”
The expressions of everyone who was being pulled towards the Heaven Gate turned grim as they all felt a great burden weighing on their mind.
From Qiao Yang’s words, they heard a frightening piece of information: the demons might return and attack the Realm of Flame Heaven in the near future!
According to Li Fan, the truly strong demons that had dominated the Heaven Leaving Domain in the past had long since been killed by the extremely strong Qi warriors.
The ones that had been imprisoned within the Hell sect were only the weak ones, which were nothing to be feared.
Now that thousands of years had passed, many changes had taken place and reshaped the Realm of Flame Heaven, leaving only the seven major sects, with the Hell sect being the strongest.
Most of the strong Qi warriors, who had previously descended to the Realm of Flame Heaven to fight the demons, had already passed away, and the remaining ones seemed to have long since left the realm.
With the current strength of the seven sects in the Realm of Flame Heaven, would they still have what it took to contend with the powerful demons from the other realms?
With these thoughts, Nie Tian looked over at Qiao Yang’s grim face, and couldn’t help but start to worry.
He worried about those who were currently in Black Cloud City, and he worried about Nie Donghai, Nie Qian, and the juniors who he felt connected to, such as Pan Tao and Nie Xian.
He constantly had the feeling that when he tempered himself through bloody battles in the Realm of Flame Heaven, Heaven-shaking, Earth-toppling changes would occur in the Realm of Flame Heaven.
Suddenly, Hua Mu’s words struck him.
Hua Mu had once said that omens would present themselves in the realms where a Heaven Gate would appear, such as the escape of the Earth Flame Beast.
Furthermore, even more huge changes would strike the Realm of Flame Heaven, one after another.
The invasion of the outer-realm demons might be a possible aftereffect that Hua Mu had spoken about…
CRUNCH!
The sound of bones shattering suddenly echoed out from the Heaven Gate entrance.
“What the hell are you doing?” Zheng Bin from the Mystic Mist sect suddenly let out a piercing shout.
Nie Tian snapped back from his reverie and stopped staring at the majestic city of the Hell sect and the demons that were breaking free from their shackles, but rather focused all his attention on the Heaven Gate that he was gradually approaching.
In front of the shining Heaven Gate entrance, a cunning smile appeared on the corner of a Greater Heaven stage outer-realm expert’s mouth.
They had already reached the entrance of the Heaven Gate, but it seemed that they weren’t in a hurry to enter the Heaven Gate. Instead, they suddenly started to attack other participants.
