Chapter 665: The Seven Demon Emperors Appear Once Again, Demon Realm Domain, It’s You
“What’s going on? This demonic qi… Is it the Demonic Realm entrance?”
“D*mn it. What happened? How could the Demonic Realm entrance appear so suddenly? Didn’t Chu Kuangren seal it back then?!”
“Is there anyone nearby? We’ll need them to assess the situation…”
“There’s no Emperor watching over that area.”
The Emperors were immediately alarmed.
One by one, their Emperor Thoughts started rushing towards the Purgatory Forest.
As a place where the Demonic Realm’s seal was, the Purgatory Forest’s location was an incredibly sensitive one. Besides, the land there had been corroded by demonic qi in the past, making the spiritual qi presence there scarce. Hence, Purgatory Forest was excluded outside the boundaries of the three hundred prefectures.
In other words, no Emperors were in charge of that area.
That was why none of the Emperors rushed there immediately when the Demonic Realm entrance’s seal was broken. However, most of them were still watching from the sidelines.
They were observing the number of forces that arrived, how many Emperors were among them…
“We must not act hastily. Let’s start by preventing the spread of the demonic qi. As for the Demonic Realm’s Emperors, we’ll have to see how powerful they are first.”
“That’s right. Huh? It looks like there’s a surviving Ashura Tribe member over there. Should we save her?”
“She’s only a Boundary Emperor. Just leave her be.”
Black Heaven Sect, inside the Towering Heaven Palace.
Chu Kuangren suddenly opened his eyes, which flashed with a horrifying glint. “The Sealing Sword Formation inside the Purgatory Forest has been broken?”
After storing the remaining Sycamore Divine Fruit energy that his Universal Cauldron Physique had yet refined, his figure disappeared.
Inside the Purgatory Forest.
Terrifying surges of energy were emitting from the Demonic Realm entrance.
Several figures soon rushed out, one by one. This included various beings from the Demonic Realm, such as hellhounds, demonic wolves, demonic dragons…
They were led by the Seven Demon Emperors.
Zhan Hongying recognized all seven of them since their clones had come to the Firmament Star during the previous Demonic Realm invasion.
However, all seven of them were here for real!
With the Seven Demon Emperors’ arrival on the Firmament Star, their horrifying Emperor’s Aura hit the void violently like a crashing tide. The whole firmament was shocked by their presence.
Zhan Hongying was so overwhelmed by their aura that she found it hard to move.
“That’s the might of a real Emperor!”
“And judging by their strength, all of them are no ordinary Emperors too!”
Zhan Hongying had experienced an Emperor’s Aura before at the Emperor Mountain. However, even the Emperor’s Aura of Zi Wuji, Wang Quan, and the other new Emperors combined was nothing compared to any of the Seven Great Demon Emperors.
“It’s good to finally be here in my true form. What great timing for the Heavenly Dao to be restored! Now, we can exert our full power without any considerations.” Demon Emperor Pride let out a sinister laugh.
The other Demon Emperors beside him were delighted as well.
After that, the hulking Demon Emperor Wrath noticed something. He looked towards the countless Ashura corpses scattered on the ground and grinned. “Looks like someone has destroyed the sword formation for us. That’s how the entrance could open.”
“I wonder who’s the kind soul.”
“Oh, seeing that no one was here when the Demonic Realm entrance opened, it seems like whoever did this had other plans in mind.”
“Whatever. Now that we’re here, the Firmament Star will forever be under our rule. I don’t care what they do as long as it doesn’t threaten us.”
The Demon Emperors were engaged in a discussion.
Meanwhile, the onlooking Emperors were astounded when they swept their Emperor Thoughts across the seven of them. The Seven Demon Emperors were too powerful.
Even the weakest among them was at least a Perfected Initial Emperor.
Upon further comparison, the Firmament Star Emperors may have gained the upper hand in numbers, but they still lacked top-notched Emperors.
“I can’t believe the Seven Demon Emperors have gotten so powerful.”
“Looks like it’ll be a tough fight for us.”
Just as the Emperors were deliberating on which action to take, the Seven Demon Emperors made their move.
“Activate the Demonic Realm Domain!”
Demon Emperor Pride commanded.
He then took out a black iron insignia that had the word “Pride” engraved on it. The other Demon Emperors nodded and took out their iron insignias respectively.
“Greed”, “Envy”, “Rage”, “Lust”, “Gluttony”, “Sloth”, and “Pride” — those seven words were engraved on each iron insignia.
The seven black iron insignias that had the Demon Emperors’ names engraved onto them collided in the air, creating an unimaginable and mysterious energy wave that spread to a ten-thousand-kilometer radius. They had formed a frightening force field around Purgatory Forest!
In other words, it was a domain!
This was the Demonic Realm Domain!
The Emperors’ expressions changed upon sensing that domain, and all of them could feel a looming threat coming from it!
“That’s the Demon Realm Domain!”
Great Emperor Hua Xing frowned. “Legend has it that the Seven Demon Emperors can cast a domain by joining forces. Any beings inside the domain that are not of the Demonic Realm will be overwhelmed by a terrifying force, and they won’t be able to use their full strength.”
“I’m afraid this is the true reason as to why those Seven Emperors dares to invade the human world!”
The onlooking Emperors were a little hesitant to fight.
Since the Seven Demon Emperors were Perfected Initial Emperors and the Demon Realm Domain activated, even if all three hundred of them were to attack at once, the chances of victory would be slim.
“This Demon Realm Domain is just too overpowered.”
“It’s said that this technique is related to the Gods in the Underworld.”
“Notify the Heavenly Imperial Council and request backup from them. This matter is beyond the capabilities of ordinary Emperors like us.”
Several Emperor Thoughts communicated in the void.
The Emperors were here at the Firmament Star mainly to stand guard over the sealed Gods, besides collecting a few treasures and items on the side.
They would never risk their lives for this.
Otherwise, they would have gone to the Extraterritorial Battlefield long ago instead of coming to the Firmament Star to live a peaceful life here.
Inside the Purgatory Forest.
After activating the Demonic Realm Domain, the demonic qi in the realm suddenly increased rapidly. As such, countless demonic beings roared in delight.
“Huh? There are survivors of the Ashura Tribe.”
Demon Emperor Wrath suddenly noticed Zhan Hongying and Lil Pip on the ground.
He grinned and slowly descended to the ground.
The moment his feet touched the ground, the ground beneath him burst into pieces. The shockwaves and demonic energy from that impact sent both Zhan Hongying and Lil Pip flying.
“How terrifying…”
Having been thrown to the ground, Zhan Hongying spat out mouthfuls of blood.
Her opponent did not even need to attack. His demonic aura was already enough to critically injure her, which made Zhan Hongying feel that she was like an ant— no. She was even smaller than an ant before the likes of Demon Emperor Wrath.
“Woman, if you kneel and kowtow to me a few times, I might consider sparing your life. What do you think?”
“I’ll never beg for mercy from a demon!”
“Oh, how bold of you.”
Demon Emperor Wrath chuckled. He then formed a huge black hand with his demonic qi and grabbed Zhan Hongying into the air.
Multiple cracking sounds were heard consecutively.
Zhan Hongying’s flesh and bones were slowly being crushed.
“Is it painful? As long as you beg for mercy, I shall let you live.”
Demon Emperor Wrath laughed. Although Zhan Hongying screamed in agony from being crushed, not a plea of mercy came out from her lips.
The onlooking Emperors shook their heads and sighed.
“Dying seems to be a better choice for her now. This Ashura Tribe member is either too stubborn for her own good or too ignorant to judge the current situation.”
“Well, whatever. She’s just a Boundary Emperor anyway. Although she’s quite talented and will likely be an Emperor in the future, I’m afraid this is as far as she’ll go.”
Just when Zhan Hongying was on the brink of death.
A flash of sword ray containing an extremely dense Daoist pattern and Emperor qi suddenly appeared from a distance and locked onto Demon Emperor Wrath.
Demon Emperor Wrath’s gaze narrowed before he unleashed a punch in return.
An explosion occurred the moment the fist and sword ray collided. Under the clash of demonic qi and Emperor qi, a gorgeous white sword flew out from the blast, returning to the hands of a young man.
“It’s you!”
