Chapter 508: Chapter 483 Extra-Terrestrial Demon Nest_1

"The sun and the moon appear together, Li Wang!"

"Li Wang has appeared in the Demon Abyss, we are saved!"

"Only the Great Tao comprehended by Li Wang could genuinely restore a section of the Star River from beyond the heavens. It must be him who has reached the Demon Abyss!"

Throughout the various places in the Demon Abyss Continent, where crowds of people gathered, some Cultivators who had regained consciousness stared at the magnificent and colorful spectacle of the Star River above and immediately realized that Li Wang had come.

Because both the sun and stars were present at the same time.

In the normal skies of Purgatory, the fierce sun and bright moon would not appear together; there would be a distinction between day and night.

However, Li Wang, who sought Divine Enthronement through the Tao of the Star River, was capable of altering celestial phenomena, displaying both the sun and the moon together, creating a wonder where both shone brilliantly at the same time.

"So Li Wang’s foundation in the Great Tao originates from a Star River beyond Purgatory, encompassing both sun and moon!"

Pang Jian was also greatly shaken.

He soon realized that the seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars standing in the Fifth Realm of Purgatory, which were releasing a bluish divine radiance, showed the sun, moon, and stars floating and roaming within them; these must have been created by Li Wang’s hand.

Having battled with Zhou Yi on the Demon Spirit Continent, he knew that this young talent from the Jiuli Sect was well-versed in the "Void Mirror Skill."

He had thought Li Wang also ascended to True God following this path.

But to his utter surprise, Li Wang’s true path to Divine Enthronement turned out to be a dazzling Star River.

At this moment, the Demon Subduing Stone Niche, possessed by Li Wang’s Spiritual Soul, became incredibly bright under the illumination of the sun and moon’s brilliance.

It hung brazenly above the Demon Sect.

"Whoosh!"

The Demon Subduing Stone Niche suddenly brightened, casting a light that revealed every nook and cranny of the Demon Sect’s headquarters, formed from dark pits and holes.

"He Motian."

"Ti Wei."

"Qing Ji."

Li Wang’s grand divine voice boomed from the colossal Demon Subduing Stone Niche, spreading across the entire Demon Abyss Continent.

"You’ve all gone to great lengths to set up this arrangement, using the inner evil of the Human Race beings in the Demon Abyss Continent to nourish that Demon Stone. What exactly are you plotting? You have carefully induced the three Immortal Realm members of the Demon Sect to turn into demons; your schemes must be grand, right?"

"Boom!"

The Demon Subduing Stone Niche plummeted, causing tremors and shaking in the central region of the Demon Abyss Continent.

"All three Immortal Realm beings have turned into demons?"

"Who is it? Who has been beguiled by the Demon God of the Outer Realm, becoming the vessel for the Demon God’s will?"

Upon hearing these words, the crowd was horrified.

"Three Outer Realm Demon Gods, plus two Great Demon Gods?"

Pang Jian’s complexion turned grave as he descended from midair.

He approached Li Jie, Duan Yun, and Huang Xi, seeing that they were looking at Dazzling Shadow and Ying Yue with predatory eyes.

Dazzling Shadow was a prodigy of the Devil Scale Tribe.

Ying Yue, on the other hand, was a puppet body inhabited by the Moon Goddess.

At this moment, their souls were not within their bodies.

Seeing the Star River suspended in the sky and the Demon Subduing Stone Niche sweeping past, Li Jie and the others, while exhilarated, naturally intended to take advantage of the situation to destroy the bodies of Dazzling Shadow and Ying Yue.

Yet, in the densest and deepest sea of Demon Element Power, each time they attempted to act, they suddenly began to lose control of their minds.

The murderous intent in their hearts toward Dazzling Shadow and Ying Yue would vanish cleanly in an instant.

They could not gather their power, nor could they concentrate their attention.

They could speak and scream, but they just couldn’t control their Dantian, unable to exert the powers they were once adept at.

"Pang Jian, we’re too close to the Demon Stone, all of us are affected!"

"You come! You strike down Dazzling Shadow, and the puppet body of the Moon Goddess!"

Li Jie, covered in talisman papers that subdued his Spiritual Soul, looked reverently at the huge Demon Stone and said, "I’m always worried that its third tremor is about to happen."

"Li Wang has come, and I was planning to leave this place, but now I can’t even escape!"

"I can’t move anything but my mouth!"

The invasion by Demon Element Power and its influence on their flesh and will were happening slowly.

By the time they realized something was wrong, they were already deeply mired, with both flesh and soul ensnared by the sea of black and blue made from Demon Element Power.

Pang Jian was unaffected because beneath the Fragment Land of his Dantian, there lay a sea of black and blue Demon Sea too.

This was because he practiced the "Original Demon Fusion Spell."

"I’ve met your father; he is very worried about you. Li Jie, I’ll send you out first. You shouldn’t be here at this time."

Pang Jian grabbed the Kirin Bell and yanked it upward forcefully.

"Whoosh!"

The Kirin Bell, with Li Jie inside, was flung out of the Demon Abyss by Pang Jian. Li Jie regained his composure a hundred feet off the ground.

"My old man is outside the Demon Abyss too? He’s come?" Li Jie yelled, "The old guy still worries about me, afraid I’d die in the Demon Abyss without anyone to carry on. Pang Jian, those fellows... seem useless, might as well throw them all out too!"

Immortal Realm Great Cultivators like Duan Yun and Huang Xi performed poorly under the Demon Stone, resembling frozen locusts in mud.

"Alright!"

Pang Jian tossed each of them out one by one.

Li Jie then shouted from above, "Pang Jian, since you’re not restricted, why not hurry up and dispose of Dazzling Shadow and the others?"

At that moment.

"Boom!"

The third tremor of the Demon Stone occurred without warning.

Above the sky, beneath the earth.

More intense negative consequences brewed, along with all kinds of ghosts and lingering souls, rushing towards the purple Demon Stone in an instant.

Li Jie, Duan Yun, Huang Xi, and others, none were spared the calamity—their Spiritual Souls flew out of their bodies in a flash, hurtling towards the Demon Stone.

All the Talisman Paper Arrays that Li Jie had used to suppress his Spiritual Soul turned into a joke under the third wave of tremors from the Demon Stone.

"Pang Jian, save me!"

Li Jie’s uncontrollable Spiritual Soul, as it flew towards the Demon Stone, cried out for help in agony.

After a muffled groan, Pang Jian, with blood flowing from his seven orifices, looked even more bloody and terrifying.

However, having experienced one tremor from the Demon Stone and armed with the painful lesson, he managed to withstand the stone’s pull with relative ease this time.

Quickly recovering his ability to act, he saw Li Jie’s Spiritual Soul about to fall into the Demon Stone, and in a panic, he grabbed the sword sheath Li Jie had refined.

Pressing the gem that activated the array, he aimed the mouth of the sword sheath at Li Jie’s Spiritual Soul and shouted, "Get in!"

Unable to resist the pull of the Demon Stone and only able to slightly control his direction, Li Jie frantically streamed towards the mouth of the sword sheath.

With Pang Jian’s assistance, Li Jie’s Spiritual Soul "whooshed" into the sword sheath.

Twelve arrays designed to seal the Origin Demon and isolate it from external perception firmly suppressed Li Jie’s Spiritual Soul within.

They turned out to be more effective than the Talisman Paper and the Kirin Bell.

It was also during the third tremor of the Demon Stone that several other strange events unfolded; the Origin Demon suddenly reappeared inside the black-gold Divine Sword stuck in the ground.

Dazzling Shadow of the Devil Scale Tribe, along with the body belonging to the Moon Goddess Ying Yue, both had their souls return.

Dazzling Shadow’s cold and frosty eyes flickered with a captivating brilliance, and she hastily grasped the Saw-toothed Demon Knife.

Above the Demon Knife, strange demonic patterns surged wildly as she abruptly stood up with the knife in hand.

She looked towards the Sky Dome and then at the array on the Demon Knife, before finally looking at the Demon Stone with eyes filled with horror.

She hesitated.

Ying Yue’s eyes also suddenly transformed into the shapes of a crescent and a full moon, She glanced at the resplendent Star River above her head, then gave Pang Jian a look, and said eerily, "Pang Jian, the Demon Fetus has already taken shape. All beings of the Demon Abyss Continent are doomed. Even the True God Li Wang may not be able to stop the Demon Fetus from growing."

"The Demon Fetus, its true name is Origin."

"This so-called Demon Stone from the Outer Realm is actually the demon nest that nurtures the Demon Fetus, named Origin, which strives for the position of Sovereign."

"There are many Demon Gods and Great Demon Gods in the Outer Realm, but unfortunately, their leader, the Sovereign, has long since perished. The demon named Origin is regarded as the new leader in the eyes of the Outer Realm Demons."

"If He takes root and sprouts in Purgatory, endures the trials of the many True Gods there, and ultimately breaks through the confines of Purgatory..."

"Then, He has the potential to become the fifth Sovereign in the vast starry sky."

Ying Yue, the Moon Goddess, deliberately revealed this truth.

Her voice grew from soft to loud, traveling from where Pang Jian was in the Demon Abyss to the headquarters of the Demon Sect.

She meant for Li Wang, who controlled the Demon Subduing Stone Niche, to hear it.

Apparently, She had no desire to see a dominion-level demon born within the greatly endowed Heaven Demon Clan.

"Moon..."

Ying Yue smirked coldly.

In the next moment, using this body of the Human Race, She instantly landed on the crooked moon above.

"Whoosh!"

After a flash, She reappeared on the full moon above.

A crescent and a full moon, initially within Li Wang’s Star River, seemed to have changed hands in an instant, forcefully seized by Her.

"My true body was unable to descend, and Li Wang’s true body also couldn’t enter from outside. He dared to reveal the essence of the moon under my watch; it’s a gift!"

Ying Yue stood on the full moon, drawing in the crescent moon with her breath.

That clear and bight crescent moon was actually swallowed whole by Her.

In an instant, the essence of the moon that Her special body, Her Divine Soul, lacked was filled.

Ying Yue’s realm and combat power also climbed steadily.

And the full moon where She now resided was transformed into Her small Divine Realm, completely within Her grasp.

"Pang Jian!"

Ying Yue, the Moon Goddess, standing on the full moon, looked down coldly at the blue-clothed youth beside the Demon Stone, and said, "This Li Wang of Purgatory is truly providing timely help. Whatever He offers, I’ll take. Once I have refined my Divine Soul, cleansed this body, I will make you, this little thief, cry for life yet yearn for death!"

"Clang!"

"Boom! Boom boom!"

Only then did the Kirin Bell of Li Jie, and the bodies of Duan Yun, Huang Xi, and others who had lost their Divine Souls, begin to fall leisurely from the sky, landing on the ground near the Demon Stone.

"Origin Demon!"

Pang Jian appeared instantly by the black-gold Longsword, grasping it and communicating with the Demon Soul within using his Divine Sense, intending to deal with Ying Yue as soon as possible—before She finished refining all of the Moon Energy.

Inside the little world of the sword.

Above the burning flames of the secret domain, the Origin Demon Soul became incredibly clear and refined, continuously emitting Demon Light to the outside.

Besides the Origin Demon, there now was a naked infant with a wholly purple-blue body.

Curling up, he floated above the surging lava, seeming utterly at ease and comfortable.

And the Origin Demon just quietly watched him.
