Chapter 1357: Chapter 1357 Demon Abyss

“Where is the extraterrestrial demon?”

asked the four Sect Masters immediately.

They understood that Chu Yuan’s power was the strongest among them, a primordial god, and it was his duty to communicate with the will of Heaven and Earth on the deepest levels.

“Its speed is astonishing. The will of Heaven and Earth is tracking its position–it is heading toward the Demon Abyss.”

The Demon Abyss was precisely the battleground of the ancient war against the extraterrestrial demon.

“The Demon Abyss? What purpose does it have going there?”

“We cannot let it reach the Demon Abyss. That extraterrestrial demon we suppressed there in ancient times was never slain. Even at the cost of unspeakable sacrifices, we only managed to seal it within the abyss. If it breaks free, it would usher in catastrophe!”

“It’s highly likely that this recently arrived extraterrestrial demon has been summoned to open the seal within the Demon Abyss!”

The expressions of the four Sect Masters changed drastically.

The extraterrestrial demon from ancient times was far too formidable, nearly impossible to handle–even now, it remains impossible to vanquish, merely restrained.

Chu Yuan’s countenance grew grave.

In truth, Chu Yuan was not the first Sect Master of the Chu Yuan Sect. Long ago, the founder of the sect–a primordial god–sacrificed his own life to suppress the extraterrestrial demon.

“Changes are inevitable at the Demon Abyss. The five great sects must come together to suppress the extraterrestrial demons, preventing them from colluding internally and externally. All Heavenly Dao gods of our five sects must mobilize and annihilate them!”

As Chu Yuan spoke, his expression suddenly changed.

Boom! The heavens of Chu Yuan’s world trembled violently.

“The extraterrestrial demon is breaking the seal! It has undoubtedly learned that another of its kind has arrived and is preparing to act in concert from the inside. Damn it, truly damnable!”

“We absolutely cannot let them succeed!”

“With our united strength across the five sects, we can weather this calamity!”

The top experts of the five sects began formulating a strategy immediately.

The strongest of the five sects would suppress the upheaval at the Demon Abyss, while the remaining Heavenly Dao gods would move to annihilate the newly arrived extraterrestrial demon.

The five sects demonstrated exceptional unity, acting under Chu Yuan’s centralized command.

In this vast world, the five sects maintained an unprecedented peace between them.

Of course, such unity was driven by the greatest existential threat they had yet to eliminate.

In an instant, all Heavenly Dao gods mobilized.

“I’m closing in on its position, but its speed is too great–I cannot catch up!”

“Do not panic! We have the advantage in numbers. Others are approaching from alternate directions. The fundamental force of Heaven and Earth is the greatest benefit we have!”

“No! I’ve been intercepted. Ah!”

…

The entire heavens of Chu Yuan’s world descended into chaos.

“It’s incredibly difficult to handle. Any Heavenly Dao god of the first or second realms encountering it alone would face certain death. Were it not for the primordial suppression force of Heaven and Earth, we might already have suffered the fall of Heavenly Dao gods.”

Five Sect Masters sat in formation across five directions, unleashing beams of divine radiance that pierced the skies, pooling their Divine Power together.

“Bring even more forces to deal with it!”

suggested the Sect Master of the Radiant Light Sect.

“Although we can track its position, its mastery of the Path of Time-Space is formidable, evading even suppression from the will of Heaven and Earth. When faced with coordinated attacks by numerous strong forces, it simply shifts locations. Smaller, isolated teams struggle to confront it.”

Chu Yuan spoke slowly, “We must alter the strategy. Let the fourth-realm leaders take charge, while weaker Heavenly Dao gods encircle and restrain it from the periphery. Its destination is the Demon Abyss–that much is certain!”

“There’s no other way!”

They all nodded in agreement.

“This calamity requires unity and cooperation to overcome!”

Chu Yuan’s gaze fell upon the other Sect Masters.

“We understand!”

replied the four Sect Masters in unison.

Meanwhile.

Chu Yuan appeared amidst a desolate landscape, his manipulation of time and space extending across the boundless domain, detecting faint and peculiar fluctuations.

Even the will of Heaven and Earth attempted to suppress his perception.

But alas.

With the dual gateways of Time and Space under his control, Chu Yuan could discern any anomaly.

“Who would’ve thought that I, the emperor, would one day be branded an extraterrestrial demon, hunted by so many powerful figures? Amusing, truly amusing.”

Despite the relentless pursuit, Chu Yuan showed not anger but amusement as a smile spread across his face.

He understood clearly: whether one is designated as a god or a demon isn’t determined by one’s cultivation technique. His presence was deemed a threat by the heavens of Chu Yuan’s world, and thus, he became the extraterrestrial demon.

God or demon–only a difference in perspective.

To cultivate demonic arts didn’t necessarily make one cruel. Similarly, those who walked the Divine Path weren’t necessarily righteous.

“The will of Heaven and Earth reports my every movement, offering me no place to hide.”

Chu Yuan sensed these constant signals and remarked lightly, “The Demon Abyss–the site of the extraterrestrial demon’s suppression. That ancient demon still clings to existence? What kind of demon could it be? My curiosity grows.”

True enough, Chu Yuan pressed on toward the Demon Abyss.

He found himself deeply intrigued by the demon’s origins, eager to unveil its secrets.

Meanwhile, amidst Chu Yuan’s heavens, the obstacles to killing Heavenly Dao gods were manifold–even striking down a first-realm god would provoke frenzied intervention from the heavenly will.

Chu Yuan resisted not only the strengths of the five sects but also the overarching heavenly will itself.

However, wielding the Great Devourer Art, he could consume and repurpose any suppressive force, making himself immune to their constraints.

Indeed, for Chu Yuan’s journey into the heavens of this world, it felt less like a siege and more akin to a fantastic expedition.

“Hmm? Adjusting strategies, layering nets upon nets, implementing concentric closure led by stronger enemies.”

Chu Yuan perceived the immense surges of energy converging toward him and laughed casually.

“Extraterrestrial demon, perish!”

The heavens suddenly tore open as beams of light cascaded across the void. From within emerged a man wielding a Divine Artifact resembling steel claws, lunging fiercely toward Chu Yuan to kill.

This man was a fourth-realm Heavenly Dao god–a True Self Realm cultivator!

His offensive strikes were nothing short of ferocious and domineering.

“From the Splitting Heaven Sect. This must be the Sect Master of the Riftsky faction, second only to their supreme leader–the Rift God Sect Master.”

Chu Yuan observed the Riftsky Sect Master’s relentless assault with unwavering composure. He raised his palm, unleashing a luminous burst of Divine Abilities. Their clash spawned explosive shockwaves of unimaginable magnitude.

“So, the extraterrestrial demon proves to be formidable!”

The Riftsky Sect Master stared intently at Chu Yuan.

He had not lived through the ancient war firsthand but had heard of its devastating toll. Although the demon before him was not the one from ancient times, he dared not show any negligence.

The brief exchange allowed him to assess Chu Yuan’s remarkable proficiency–not only in mystic arts but also in brute strength.

Still, he couldn’t comprehend.

How could this extraterrestrial demon wade into such chaos alone yet remain so powerful?

“I, Riftsky, have engaged the extraterrestrial demon. I’ll do all I can to hold it back–you must hurry. We must prevent it from reaching the Demon Abyss. I cannot guarantee how long I can delay it.”

Riftsky Sect Master sent his Heavenly Dao transmission using the will of Heaven and Earth to propagate his call effortlessly.

He only knew that Chu Yuan was a Heavenly Dao god, but he couldn’t determine which realm of power he occupied. Chu Yuan exuded an enigmatic presence that defied classification.

“Understood, Riftsky Sect Master–hold him at all costs. We’ll mobilize at maximum speed!”

“The five sects’ Heavenly Dao gods are encroaching in circular formations. They’ll arrive at your position shortly!”

“We must prevent him from entering the Demon Abyss and releasing the sealed extraterrestrial demon!”

…

Across Chu Yuan’s world, countless Heavenly Dao gods raced forward with unparalleled urgency.
