Chapter 547 - 544 Neither God Nor Demon

Chapter 547: Chapter 544 Neither God Nor Demon

Dark clouds churned, and thunder rumbled incessantly as the vast ocean rose in angry waves, and heavy rain scattered with the wind. Amid those alarming surges, one could vaguely make out the shocking sight of corpses.

Looking into the distance, one could see a fierce battle unfolding between the Celestial Sea. Countless cultivators besieged a demon tens of thousands of feet tall. The demon, human in form, was covered in black fur, dressed in black armor, and wore a horned iron helmet, resembling a War God from the Demon Realm. Wielding a terrifying greatsword, it could cleave the sea and slash the heavens with absolute, tyrannical might.

Cultivators’ bodies continuously fell, crashing into the gloomy sea and quickly being dispersed by the churning water.

Miles away at the edge of the Nine Spirit Continent, Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai stood on a cliff, watching the battle from afar. Waves splashed against the shore, wetting their dresses, but they paid it no mind.

“How terrifying, this demon. Are such demons rampant all over the world?” Tang Cai couldn’t help but look at Li Xuanyu, exclaiming in awe.

Several days ago, numerous meteors from Outer Heaven had descended, shaking the earth, and not long after, the Human World faced a catastrophe. Only a few days had passed, and demons from Outer Heaven threatened Nine Spirit Continent.

…

Li Xuanyu replied, “The demonic Qi from outside is indeed heavy, no wonder An Xin wanted us to stay.”

Tang Cai couldn’t help but ask, “Sister, you don’t think Li Ya will get into trouble, do you? With his temperament, he’s sure to dive right into the thick of it. I’m really afraid he might get seriously injured again.”

“Don’t worry, he has his own fortune. His life is much harder than either of ours.”

Li Xuanyu shook her head slightly and, saying so, she turned to leave.

Tang Cai took one more look at the distant battle at the edge of the sea, then followed Li Xuanyu’s steps. She was curious about the demon’s cultivation level, but unfortunately, Li Xuanyu couldn’t see through it either.

Their experiences were but a microcosm of the world.

Every continent and sea was plagued by demons from the Supreme Demon Realm, with countless beings meeting tragic deaths every day.

The skies of the Human World darkened, signaling a tribulation sweeping across the entire Great Heaven and Earth. The Supreme Demon Realm came only to slaughter.

…

In the Sacred Domain, within a palace.

Seven figures gathered, staring at the throne of the Silent Destruction God Emperor in silence for a long time.

One of the women broke the silence, “The Master hasn’t come back yet. Could something have happened?”

At these words, the faces of the other six turned grim. The Silent Destruction God Emperor had been missing for many years. They had not been worried at first, but now with the attack of the Supreme Demon Realm and the God Emperor’s absence, they couldn’t help but be concerned.

“The Supreme Demon Realm has always hidden in the shadows. Now that they have launched a large-scale invasion of the Celestial Spirit Great World, I fear someone has been guiding them from behind, and that person is likely that one…” A middle-aged man inhaled deeply and spoke gravely.

He didn’t specify who ‘that one’ was, but everyone understood.

The Celestial Spirit God!

The supreme existence of this Great Thousand World!

Once again, the hall fell into silence. Even with the lowest among them being Profound Yuan Free Immortals, the mere thought of the Celestial Spirit God sent chills down their spines, quelling any thoughts of rebellion or scheming.

Just then, the palace began to tremble, and the candles flickered violently, threatening to go out at any moment.

All seven turned to look towards the doorway.

“Without the Holy Court, the Celestial Court appears stronger, yet it seems to have lost its former keen edge.”

A cold voice came from outside the hall, like a muffled thunder that echoed throughout the Sacred Domain, audible to all beings within the Holy Court.

The seven in the hall looked at one another again, none volunteering to speak first.

More than the safety of the Holy Court, they wanted to know where the Silent Destruction God Emperor had gone.

They didn’t even consider the possibility of the Emperor being dead. In their minds, the Silent Destruction God Emperor was an immortal being.

If a power such as the Holy Court could come under attack from the Supreme Demon Realm, what about other Sects?

The Major Sects of the Tai Cang Continent also faced tribulations. The Supreme Sect, having lost the protection of the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable for over nine thousand years, was once again drawn into the defense battle.

…

Spring gave way to autumn, and three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

The Human World entered a bizarre state where demons roamed freely, and it was difficult to distinguish between human and ghost; all living beings were living in constant fear.

On the Tai Cang Continent, within the North Sea Mountain Ridge.

Profound Mystery sat in front of the pill furnace in the courtyard, looking up at the overcast clouds, his face full of worry.

He turned his head to look at the Mountain God on the eaves and asked, “Mountain God, is there no one in this world who can drive out the Supreme Demon Realm?”

Three hundred years had passed, and the name of the Supreme Demon Realm had spread far and wide; everyone knew that the evil demons ravaging the Human World came from the Supreme Demon Realm.

The Immortal Dynasty had fallen, the Holy Court had been slaughtered by the Supreme Demon Realm, and the entire world was shrouded in their darkness, with clouds so dense that hope was obscured.

Although Profound Mystery lived in seclusion in the North Sea Mountain Ridge, occasionally Cultivators and demons would pass by, which allowed him to stay informed of major events in the world.

Now, even the Tai Cang Continent was plagued by minions of the Supreme Demon Realm.

The powerful demons of the Supreme Demon Realm, once they descended into the Human World, recruited many minions; they were also able to nurture more demons, swiftly expanding the influence of the Supreme Demon Realm to cover the entire world.

“Of course there is,” Gu An casually replied while sitting on the eaves, whittling a bamboo stick. “Otherwise, there would be no living creatures left in the Human World by now.”

With the invasion of the Supreme Demon Realm, although the Human World suffered greatly, it also gave birth to numerous heroes. Now, many Great Cultivators were preparing to besiege the main city established by the Supreme Demon Realm in the Human World, forcing the Supreme Demon Realm on the defensive.

Gu An was but a pawn to the Supreme Demon Realm; the Celestial Spirit God sought to use the power of the Supreme Demon Realm to force out the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit.

It seemed that the Celestial Spirit God could not personally annihilate all living beings.

It was as though some force in the unseen depths was restraining the Celestial Spirit God, which made Gu An even more curious about the Celestial Court that lurked behind the Celestial Spirit God.

What sort of order did the Celestial Court have, and how were its classes of strength and weakness divided?

After hearing this, the worry in Profound Mystery’s eyes faded.

Having secluded himself in the mountains for over nine thousand years, he too had his own insights.

He had felt compassion for the suffering of passersby, but as time went on, he realized that he couldn’t change anything. Moreover, suffering would not vanish; people would always suffer, and the difference lay in whether or not he could see it.

Hum—

A high-pitched dragon’s roar echoed between heaven and earth; Profound Mystery looked up and saw a dragon tail appearing in the cloudy sky, twisting like a mountain range, a magnificent sight to behold.

This dragon had green scales yet radiated golden light.

Filled with curiosity, Profound Mystery asked, “Is this being a god or a demon?”

Since the descent of the Supreme Demon Realm, he had occasionally seen Celestial Beasts appearing, including dragons, but this particular dragon tail gave him a feeling there was an indescribable divinity present.

Gu An, wearing a mask, looked up and said, “Neither god nor demon, merely a lost soul.”

That was not a True Dragon but someone’s Dharma Aspect.

Gu An was somewhat curious as well.

Could there truly be such a prodigy within the Long Clan?

This individual was neither Long Xin nor Long Mie.

Gu An’s gaze stretched out toward the Third Medicine Valley of the Supreme Sect.

In Long Qing’s practice of the Celestial Dragon Technique, there had been progress; within Long Jun’s domain, he had condensed twelve Dharma Aspects, one of which was wrapped by a Golden Dragon, its aura towering.

“A lost soul?” Profound Mystery’s curiosity grew, and he stared intently at that dragon tail.

At that moment, not only he but creatures across the continent were looking up at that dragon tail. Mortal Spirits even thought a True Dragon had descended to exterminate demons for them. More and more Mortal Spirits knelt down, kowtowing towards the dragon tail, crying out and praying.

Inside Long Jun’s domain, it appeared no different from the surrounding cliffs of the Third Medicine Valley, but in reality, they were in an entirely separate space.

Long Qing opened his eyes and turned his head to look, and he was suddenly taken aback.
