BXBX NOVEL Chapter 656: Demon Lord Enters the Game
“That’s right,” agreed the man with red eyes, nodding. “As I said earlier, we can compete once we enter the secret realm. Before that, I hope we can all work together to break through this barrier as quickly as possible.”
With that, the group calmed down.
Despite their undiminished greed, they at least managed to maintain superficial composure.
The group of demonic cultivators, led by the red-eyed man, then began their attempt to break the barrier.
Several days later, with a light cracking sound, the barrier before them finally shattered.
However, at that moment, an overwhelmingly pure, powerful, and authoritative aura burst forth from the now-broken barrier, causing the very skies to change dramatically into an endless darkness.
The faces of the red-eyed man and his companions turned pale.
They had not anticipated such a massive upheaval upon breaking the secret realm’s barrier.
The commotion was so great that it could potentially attract all nearby demonic cultivators and even other cultivators from the Northern Border.
They realized that they had very little time left and, without further hesitation, rushed towards the entrance of the secret realm.
Meanwhile, on a mountain peak within the territory of the demon race, a figure cloaked in a cape stirred, his gaze seemingly piercing through the vast void, fixating on the location of the Ancient River Desert.
Simultaneously, in a valley under the control of the demon race, a drop of blood fell from a cliff, expanding and transforming into a man clad in a blood-red robe.
His gaze, too, was drawn towards the direction of the Ancient River Desert, as if something incredibly enticing was located there.
In fact, the disturbance caused by the secret realm had attracted the attention of more than just the cloaked man and the man in the blood-red robe.
Many cultivators from the Northern Border, including those from the demon race, were now drawn to the Ancient River Desert.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Swiftly, numerous cultivators began converging towards the direction of the desert.
In just a few days, the area around the Ancient River Desert and the nearby secret realm witnessed no less than hundreds of battles.
These conflicts involved cultivators from the Northern Border fighting among themselves, battles between the Northern cultivators and demonic cultivators, and even skirmishes among the demonic cultivators themselves.
In this short period, the number of cultivators who fell due to the secret realm had already reached hundreds, if not thousands, with a majority being demonic cultivators.
And this was just the beginning.
As time slowly passed, more and more cultivators arrived at the location.
Despite sensing the extraordinary nature of the secret realm, their enthusiasm was not dampened.
Eventually, after several more days, Nascent Soul demonic cultivators and Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords began to enter the scene.
Given their opposing stances, confrontations were inevitable upon meeting. However, most of their attention was still focused on the secret realm itself. Half a month later, on one particular day, the seemingly calm secret realm suddenly erupted with a loud explosion.
As it turned out,
Several Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords and Nascent Soul demonic cultivators engaged in a fierce battle, the commotion of which was extraordinary.
The fight spilled from inside the secret realm to outside and then back inside.
It seemed as if both parties were truly enraged.
However, at this moment, an attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator and a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator simultaneously struck a specific spot within the secret realm.
There was a soft click.
An extremely pure, powerful, terrifying, and authoritative aura burst forth from that location.
The aura was so overwhelming that it overshadowed the ongoing battle, placing the entire secret realm under immense pressure.
Everyone was stunned by this fearsome aura.
For no reason, everyone’s bodies became abnormally stiff.
Even if they wanted to move slightly, it became very difficult.
Somewhere in the Nine Heavens Realm.
The cloaked man and the man in the blood-red robe observed the changes occurring in the secret realm below.
The horrifying aura emanating from the realm shocked even these powerful beings.
“That aura is… the aura of a True Demon!” they realized.
Whoosh—
At that moment, a figure made entirely of white bones appeared next to the cloaked man and the man in the blood-red robe.
Crack—
The bone figure emitted a series of crisp sounds.
Soon, two ghastly green flames ignited in his eye sockets, revealing his eerie and formidable presence.
He said in an extremely hoarse voice, “That’s right, that’s the True Demon Qi.”
This individual was none other than the Boneshadow Demon Lord.
Like the man in the cloak and the man in the blood-red robe, he was a Soul Formation demon lord left behind in the world after the Demon Calamity waged by the powerful being from the outer world.
He was one of the evil entities that Jiang Chengxuan had calculated previously.
At this moment, the three of them gazed down at the increasingly intense True Demon Qi below, their eyes uncontrollably revealing a deep longing and eagerness.
If they could obtain the True Demon Qi and the possible inheritances within the secret realm, they would undoubtedly receive unimaginable benefits.
They might even be able to exchange these gains for something critically needed from their supreme master, and possibly even receive his inheritance in the future.
Thinking of this, the three Demon Lords, especially the Boneshadow Demon Lord, could barely contain themselves.
“The two of you have been observing here for a long time.
How is it? Did you notice anything suspicious?”
Despite their eagerness, the Boneshadow Demon Lord did not forget to be cautious and turned to the cloaked man and the man in the blood-red robe and asked.
The cloaked man, known as the Venom Demon Lord, chuckled coldly and shook his head, saying,
“I haven’t noticed anything in particular, but given the current situation, we must be aware that once we show ourselves, we might be detected by those few from the Northern Border.”
The man in the blood-red robe, the Blood Sea Demon Lord, added in a light tone, “That’s true, but I believe more strongly that if we miss this opportunity, the first to bear the consequences when our supreme master learns of this would be us.”
He continued, “Moreover, we have been observing for quite some time and haven’t seen those few from the Northern Border.
So, if we act now, we should be safe for the time being.
As long as we are quick enough, we might get what we need before they arrive.” “That makes sense, so we should act now without delay,” Boneshadow Demon Lord said, his pupils flickering with ghostly flames.
Venom Demon Lord and Blood Sea Demon Lord exchanged glances and didn’t voice any objections.
The three of them swiftly descended toward the secret realm below.
At that moment, every cultivator within and around the secret realm sensed the emergence of three immensely evil, terrifying, and oppressive auras.
This caused a wave of shock in everyone’s heart, especially among the cultivators from the Northern Border, who showed deep despair in their eyes.
They recognized that the three figures who had just appeared were undoubtedly Soul Formation Demon Lords.
With three Demon Lords appearing at once, the cultivators who weren’t demonic cultivators had no chance of a good outcome.
To die a painless death quickly might even be considered fortunate under these circumstances.
With this thought, these Northern Border cultivators began to burn their
Dharmic power and True Essence in a desperate attempt to escape. “Hmph!
Since you’ve encountered us, it’s just your bad luck. Stay here,” Blood Sea Demon Lord suddenly sneered.
The next moment, countless bloodlines shot out from him, targeting all the cultivators in the vicinity.
The might of a Soul Formation Demon Lord was not something these cultivators could withstand.
Just as they were about to be pierced by these bloodlines and become part of Blood Sea Demon Lord’s power, the void suddenly rippled with waves.
Instantly, the bloodlines aiming at the cultivators froze in mid-air and then twisted as if being wrung by a powerful force.
They turned into twisted strands and then shattered into bits of light and dissipated.
“Who’s there?”
This scene caused a drastic change in the expressions of Blood Sea Demon Lord, Boneshadow Demon Lord, and Venom Demon Lord.
They hadn’t expected a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord from the Northern Border to be hidden in this place.
BOOM!
At that moment, three ferocious attacks answered Blood Sea Demon Lord and the other two.
A golden sword light, a huge seal that flickered with blue light, and a sword light that was as blazing as the sun.
“Jiang Chengxuan, Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean, Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang.
It’s you three!”
Blood Sea Demon Lord and his companions shouted in anger.
Rumble!
A huge explosion suddenly rose in the air.
Under this huge explosion, cracks instantly appeared in the space.
The cultivators present were all shocked.
At that moment, they did not dare to stay any longer and fled.
Including those demonic cultivators, they did not dare to stay here any longer. However, right at that moment, a large patch of cyan-colored fog suddenly covered an area of over ten thousand miles.
Other than the ordinary cultivators from the Northern Border who were not enveloped by the fog, all the demonic cultivators who came this time, including the Boneshadow Demon Lord and the other two, were also enveloped.
“Since everyone has already come, why the rush to leave? You might as well all stay..”
