Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming - Chapter 1096 - 1090: Eternal Slumber, Finding the Core
Gui Ling Ancestor not only refined part of the Origin Fragments that Qin Feng and his group seized from the Wizard Great World, but he also participated in the search for the Light Origin under the protection of other Great Powers back in the Light God Realm.
Though the Lord of Light and several Great Archangels fiercely defended the Light Origin, even though the war power skyrocketed, and even when Grandmaster AncestorTaixuan and other Biluo Creation Powers had already gained the upper hand in the war and chose to retreat temporarily rather than battle to the death, Gui Ling Ancestor, as an Immortal Golden Immortal, certainly did not dare to approach.
However, before the Creation Ancestors competed for the Light Origin, Gui Ling Ancestor had experienced the sensation of the dispersing energy of the Light Origin up close. So, at this moment, with just a sweep of his Divine Sense, he keenly detected something unusual.
He looked again at the magic beast that suddenly appeared ahead and nodded slightly, “So that’s how it is!”
“What is Ancestor Martial Uncle saying?”
Li Miaozhen looked at Gui Ling Ancestor in surprise.
Her attention wasn’t on the colossal magic beast, so she didn’t notice the subtle anomaly.
“Look at that magic beast!”
Gui Ling Ancestor smiled gently, “Not only is it enormous, but its scale armor also has the effect of concealing the aura and isolating energy spillover. It seems that because this magic beast was lying deep underground, it shielded the aura of the Demon Realm Origin from spilling out, preventing us from finding the abnormal spot!”
“Hmm?”
Upon hearing this, Li Miaozhen’s eyes lit up. Although she was fiercely competitive and somewhat unconstrained, it was merely her nature and not due to lack of attention to detail. In fact, she was exceptionally sharp-minded, which allowed her to seize any opportunity to defeat her opponents in battle!
Listening to Gui Ling Ancestor’s words, she immediately understood, “Ancestor Martial Uncle is saying that the Demon Realm Origin is below us, but was previously concealed by the magic beast, which prevented us from detecting it in time!”
“Exactly!”
Gui Ling Ancestor nodded, “Although we don’t know if this magic beast originally lived here and coincidentally built its nest above the Heart of Origin, or if it was summoned by the World Will to cover the aura!
But these details don’t matter to us right now. The immediate priority is to handle this powerful magic beast quickly and find that independent space while the Demon Realm Origin is spilling out!”
“Handling this magic beast is simple; leave it to me!”
Li Miaozhen, upon hearing Gui Ling Ancestor’s words, immediately became spirited. With a swift motion, she drew the White Tiger Saber and slashed at the magic beast with an aggressive strike!
She wouldn’t care whether the magic beast was already under siege by the nine Spiritual Beasts led by Qin Feng, nor whether acting in such a manner was considered a sneak attack.
This wasn’t Biluo, and she wasn’t sparring with fellow cultivators, but was, instead, waging war against the Demon Realm, especially against a magic beast blocking the way!
This time, Biluo laid out a grand plan; if everything proceeded smoothly, not only would Biluo gain significantly, but it might also break the power division of this Star Domain established over billions of years, shifting from the previous opposition of the Dark Camp and the Order Camp to a three-legged rivalry!
However, all of this relies on their success in completing the plan smoothly, as any issue in the process could lead to failure.
Moreover, the possibility of failure was not minor. If they failed to find the Demon Realm Origin in a short time, or if they could not guard against the returning strong Demon Kings and let one escape, everything could be in vain.
More importantly, the existence of the other two Dark Worlds added innumerable variables.
For countless years, the three worlds of the Dark Camp have mutually assisted each other, despite having their own calculations, and they even have some interconnected Qi Fortune.
Even though several Biluo elders worked together to disrupt the Heavenly Mechanism of the Demon Realm, making it difficult for strong individuals from other worlds to focus on the dynamics of the Demon Realm, the variables were still formidable enough to lead to failure if anything unexpected occurred.
This is also why Grandmaster AncestorTaixuan and the others dispatched so many Heavenly Mechanism Mages, instructed to find the Demon Realm Origin in the shortest possible time.
Otherwise, if too much time passed, it would be challenging to ensure that the strong entities from the Abyss and Hell wouldn’t detect the anomalies. Before the absent Great Demon King of the Demon Realm returned, strong individuals from the Abyss and Hell might come to their aid first.
Li Miaozhen, too, knew the urgency of time, so she acted swiftly, drawing her saber to strike!
In the distance, in front of the Demon Palace of the Lord of Sloth!
Although they had already persuaded the Lord of Sloth, neither Lucifer nor the Vermilion Bird had left; they continued to guard here to prevent the Lord of Sloth from pretending to comply and causing trouble when the opportunity arose.
They spoke no further, merely watching in silence as Grandmaster AncestorTaixuan and the others besieged the Great Demon King Satan from afar.
Honestly, whether the few Ancestors of the Biluo Camp or the Demon King Satan, the power they displayed at this moment was astonishing, especially for Lucifer, who longed to reach the Realm and War Power of the strongest experts.
If he wielded the war power that Great Demon King Satan currently wielded, he would have the strength to contend directly against the Lord of Light!
Thus, most of his attention was focused on Satan.
Not just because he coveted the Power of Heavenly Dao Principle that Satan could manipulate, but because Satan was the key figure besides the Demon Realm Origin; any failure here would spell enduring trouble.
At least, that’s how it was for him and for the entire Fallen Angel Clan.
Although Lucifer didn’t directly assault Satan this time, he actually bore the most significant pressure among the three parties!
Because whether Biluo or the Natural Divine Realm, if they truly failed, they could just retreat, and even if they faced the retaliation from the three Dark Worlds later, the conflict would unfold over a long-drawn-out war, but the Fallen Angel Clan could only drift through the Void, and even their survival was uncertain.
Biluo, due to the Ancient Great Tribulation in ancient times, doesn’t readily allow foreigners to enter, so the Fallen Angel Clan couldn’t infiltrate and proliferate in Biluo.
The Natural Divine Realm, while tolerant of everything and not rejecting Dark Powers, nevertheless would not allow the Fallen Angel Clan entry if Lucifer failed to demonstrate his worth; even to maintain the relationships within the Order Camp, the Earth Mother Goddess would not permit it.
These two great worlds would, at most, provide the fallen angel Clan with some protection within their capabilities, but this was not what Lucifer wanted. If things truly unfolded in this manner, the Fallen Angel Clan might decline, and it would be difficult for them to rise in this Star Domain in the future.
Therefore, he was most concerned about the battle situation on Grandmaster AncestorTaixuan’s side!
Fortunately, the few Ancestors were extraordinarily powerful; even though Satan, while under immense pressure and with the assistance of the World Consciousness, could mobilize the World Principle to its maximum, he was still at a distinct disadvantage, and defeat was merely a matter of time.
Compared to Lucifer’s concerns, the Lord of Sloth was filled with shock and helplessness.
He was shocked by the power of Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan and the others, thankful that he hadn’t acted recklessly. Otherwise, he would have barely survived, and the outcome would not have been favorable.
But as the Sovereign of the Demon Realm, one of the Great Demon Kings, during a massive battle with formidable enemies invading, he could only choose to be a bystander. Was there anything more helpless than this?
However, as they were paying attention to the battle among the strongest experts, they suddenly sensed something and turned their gaze to the other side.
Over there, an Eternal Peak aura suddenly shot skyward, unleashing a violent presence.
If it were just an existence at the Eternal Realm, it wouldn’t be enough to draw their attention at this time, let alone cause much commotion in this battle.
After all, the number of powerful experts from the Biluo side entering the Demon Realm this time exceeded two thousand, and there were strong members of the Fallen Angel Clan present. A single Eternal True taking them on would meet a gruesome end.
However, this suddenly appearing Eternal Demon Beast still caught their attention.
It wasn’t due to its formidable might but a sense that seemed to be urging them from the void.
Lucifer, in particular, furrowed his brows slightly!
Because earlier, when he led his forces to sweep the Demon Realm, he had already captured all the Demon Gods above the Immortal Realm. Even those who had fled the Demon Realm earlier were either captured or killed by the Biluo Great Powers waiting outside the realm, with no one escaping to seek help from the other two Dark Worlds.
So why did a powerful expert suddenly emerge now? And not just any, but one at the Eternal Realm Peak, with a robust presence, formidable physique, and incredible war power, making Lucifer, who was arrogant by nature and thought he had cleared all obstacles in the Demon Realm, feel somewhat disgraced.
More importantly, he had no prior impression of such a powerful Eternal Realm Peak Demon Beast!
This made him quite surprised!
Even though he was previously the Seventh Demon King, he was familiar with the strong within the Demon Realm, yet now an unknown Eternal had appeared. Could there be hidden forces in the Demon Realm that he was unaware of?
Lucifer didn’t like such variables!
“It’s that!”
On the opposite side, the Lord of Sloth, who had reverted to a half-asleep state, his entire being oozed with a lazy demeanor but didn’t let any Principle Power escape, lazily looked over there and also showed signs of surprise.
“You recognize it?”
Lucifer looked over at the Lord of Sloth.
“Mmm!”
In his uniquely indolent tone, the Lord of Sloth leisurely said, “That’s the Demon Armor, quite talented. In particular, it excels at concealing its presence to ambush opponents and in ancient times once rampaged, ambushing and killing many Demon God experts.
But later, it disappeared during the battles of various tribes in the ancient Demon Realm. I thought this guy was dead, but unexpectedly, it’s still alive. It seems it must have been severely injured and fell into a deep sleep!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lucifer, “It went into slumber tens of millions of years before you arrived in the Demon Realm, so it’s normal that you don’t know about it!”
“I see!”
Lucifer nodded slightly, seeing that a few cultivators from Biluo were enough to handle it, he didn’t pay any more attention.
Li Miaozhen’s saber strike was sharp and overwhelming. Even though this Demon Beast was massive as a mountain and incredibly powerful, at the Eternal Peak, it was among the strongest, yet facing Li Miaozhen’s blade, it still struggled greatly.
Not to mention, the nine-headed spiritual beasts that had been besieging it didn’t stop because of Li Miaozhen’s participation, constantly unleashing various formidable Daoist Divine Powers, making it difficult for the Demon Armor to withstand.
It was gravely injured in the past and had sought out this place to burrow deep underground into a slumber, for an unknown number of ten thousand years. Under the guidance of the World Will, intentionally or unintentionally, this Demon Armor remained asleep.
The World Will’s reasoning was primarily to use the Demon Armor’s unique scale armor characteristic to hide the aura of the Origin Land and secondly to find a guardian for the Origin Land.
So even though the Demon Armor was, back then, at death’s door due to its severe injuries, it didn’t truly fall into death under the care of the World Will. Instead, by being close to the World Origin, it received the nurturing of Origin Power, and its strength grew from initially entering the Eternal Realm to the Eternal Peak it was at now. Even while sleeping, its strength genuinely increased.
Of course, as its strength didn’t improve, it was subtly being transformed by the World Will, making it more loyal, adopting the guardianship of the Demon Realm as its duty!
This was intentional by the World Will. Otherwise, if its strength were too weak, how could it become the guardian of the Demon Realm Origin?
However, as the Demon Realm hadn’t encountered a major crisis for many years, the World Will lacked crisis awareness. It relied on time to let the Demon Armor grow slowly. Otherwise, if the process were hastened, this Demon Armor could have long since reached the stature of a Creation Demon Lord.
“Let’s go down and take a look!”
Gui Ling Ancestor, seeing Li Miaozhen and the Nine-headed Spiritual Beasts driving the Demon Armor away from the area, called out to Qin Feng and headed down, following the path the Demon Armor broke into underground.
Qin Feng also worried that there might be other powerful demon beasts hidden below. If, aside from this Demon Armor, there were more, Gui Ling Ancestor might not withstand it.
So he descended underground first, leading the way for Gui Ling Ancestor. This way, even if other powerful existences appeared, he could block them, ensuring Gui Ling Ancestor wouldn’t be harmed!
With his current formidable battle power, he could contend with a Creation Sovereign without losing ground for a while, and typical eternals were nothing in his eyes.
The two of them headed downward, tracing the direction the Demon Armor emerged from, descending tens of thousands of feet.
The deeper they went, the stronger their sense of that wisp of aura became!
“It’s here!”
Suddenly, Gui Ling Ancestor’s eyes lit up, joy in his heart, pointing ahead: “Haha… found it, those dissipating Demon Realm Origins are leaking out from here!”
