Chapter 1519: Demanding A Battle! (1/2)

Chu Rui had been defeated and returned severely injured.

As soon as the news came out, all of the human sects entered a constant state of anxiety, as if they had shadows hanging over them.

After the Demons’ arrival, Phantasms, Fiends, and Bonebrutes also gathered in large numbers in the Domain of Endless Snow.

Apparently, the portal split open by the Demons had become a gateway through which the outsider races poured into the human world.

A new round of outsider invasions soon spread into the areas surrounding the Domain of Endless Snow.

Realms that were close to the Domain of Endless Snow fell one after another.

Outsider starships charged around in nearby domains, claiming realms that suited their needs and transforming the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in them with grand spell formations.

The spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was either turned into Demon Qi, Phantasm Qi, or corrosive Toxic Qi.

The entire human world seemed to suddenly fall silent as letters were constantly put in the hands of the elders of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the Heaven Span Pavilion, the Five Elements Sect, and the Void Spirit Society, begging for help.

However, Chu Rui’s defeat had greatly shaken the four great sects.

Since no one could handle Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory, the God domain experts from the four great sects didn’t dare to make any rash moves.

Soon, vicious curses targeting the four great sects started to rise among the Qi warriors whose realms had fallen.

These powerful ancient sects that had stood unwavering, had been worshiped by cultivators from across the human world, and had occupied the richest lands, quickly became the target of public condemnation.

Since they occupied the most cultivation resources, they should take the greatest responsibility.

However, after Chu Rui’s defeat, they hadn’t organized any effective resistance.

Therefore, it was understandable that they were cursed and condemned.

At the Seven Stars Realm Sea.

Wei Lai from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace came to see Dong Li, with a crystal emanating bright starlight in his palm.

Chu Rui’s aura could be sensed from the crystal.

Chu Rui’s image slowly emerged in the crystal.

Dong Li seemed to feel deep veneration as she exclaimed, “Vice Sectmaster!”

Looking at the crystal and sensing the godly aura it emanated, she asked, “Is this your...?”

“This is a fragment from my shattered god domain.” Chu Rui’s weak voice echoed from within the crystal. “Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory turned out to be much more powerful than I had thought. He could even draw power from the Blood Purgatory Sea in the Second Demon Realm at will. Besides that, he’s rapidly recovering his power by killing human experts in the Domain of Endless Snow and nearby domains, and casting their bodies into the Blood Purgatory Sea.

“That way, the Blood Purgatory Sea can provide him with endless power to help him recover to his peak state.

“The more humans die at his hands, the thicker the Blood Purgatory Sea will become, and the quicker he’ll be able to recover.”

Chu Rui’s soul shadow looked somewhat sad and helpless within the crystal. “Instead of marching on the Seven Stars Realm Sea right away, he’s waiting for the Blood Purgatory Sea to grow thicker. His strength is being restored with every passing day. And his speedy recovery is based on the heavy casualties of the humans in that area.”

All of the God domain experts present, including Yin Xingtian and Yu Suying, had grim expressions as they listened.

“Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory...” Mo Qianfan from the Heavenly Thunder Sect let out a sigh and said bitterly, “Even you lost your battle against him within such a short time. What can we do, even if we know that the reason why he hasn’t marched on the Seven Stars Realm Sea yet is because he’s rapidly recovering his strength?”

“I’m here because I hope you’ll find Nie Tian,” Chu Rui said. “He can communicate with that Ripper Behemoth and has a friendly relationship with the Ancientspirits. We can’t defeat Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory with our current strength. Perhaps if Grand Monarch Primal Wood of the Floragrims and the Ripper Behemoth join us, we’ll be able to put an end to the Demons’ atrocities.”

With all honesty, Dong Li said, “We’re looking for him as well. For some reason, he vanished completely after leaving the Realm of Looming Shadow.”

“Oh...” Chu Rui’s soul shadow instantly grew faint within the star crystal. “Even he disappeared. First, it was the sectmaster. Then it was the grand elder. Now, even he’s missing...”

With these words, Chu Rui’s soul shadow faded completely from the crystal.

Wei Lai grabbed the crystal and said, “He’s so badly injured that even inter-domain communication through his soul shadow in a fragment of his god domain has become difficult. We can only do everything within our power to help him recover. Even so, it may take more than six months to just reforge his god domain.”

“We’ll do everything we can to find Nie Tian,” Dong Li said.

Wei Lai nodded. “We will too. Also, Ye Wenhan has used a secret magic to communicate with Fan Tianze, who’s in secluded cultivation for his breakthrough to the late God domain. We hope that he’ll be able to break through his cultivation barrier before Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory returns to his peak state.”

Everyone’s hearts grew heavier after hearing this.

They all doubted that Fan Tianze would be able to match Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory in battle if he came out of his secluded cultivation before entering the late God domain.

It would be unwise to place all of their hopes on him.
