Something Big Has Happened
Unknowingly, the 9th Prince had been in the Taiyi Holy Land for three years.
Everyone could see the 9th Prince’s improvement in cultivation over the past three years. In just three years, he had gone from level two to level four of the Qiyao Realm. This cultivation speed was extremely fast.
One had to know that after reaching the Qiyao Realm, many Kings would need tens to hundreds of years to break through to the next level.
It was absolutely shocking for him to advance two levels in three years.
As such, the Taiyi Holy Land admired and even worshipped the Elder King’s ability.
Even the Taiyi Holy Lord and many elders would occasionally use the excuse of visiting the Elder King to seek advice from him.
Qin Chen wasn’t stingy either. He would grant almost all of their visits. Every time he gave them pointers, they would be enlightened and make a breakthrough.
Of course, the one who had improved the most was still Ling Ran. Although she did not cultivate by Qin Chen’s side all the time, with her advantages of the Zixia Body and the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra, she had reached level three of the Qiyao Realm in these three years.
On this day, the divine bell suddenly rang at the main gates.
Normally, the divine bell wouldn’t be rung unless it was something extremely important. The last time it had rung was when a few of the Great Qin Dynasty’s Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses had come.
What had happened this time?
In the Taiyi Main Hall, the Taiyi Holy Lord, Ling Ran, and the Supreme Elders were gathered with grave expressions.
That was because they had received a piece of bad news.
The Myriad Demon Mountain Range had collapsed!
As one of the Holy Lands of the Southern Desolate Lands, the Taiyi Holy Land still had many ancient countries as subsidiaries no matter how weak it was.
Of course, these ancient countries could not be compared to immortal divine dynasties like the Great Qin Dynasty. They were just secular countries that were attached to the Taiyi Holy Land so as not to be threatened by other cultivation factions.
The Myriad Demon Mountain Range stretched for 100000 miles. It was a natural barrier between the three ancient countries that were attached to the Taiyi Holy Land and the Demon Valley. It blocked the towering mountain range of the Demon Valley.
The Demon Valley was notorious even in the Southern Desolate Lands. It was said that millions of demonic beasts lived there, and terrible demonic disasters would break out from time to time. Almost every year, the demons would rush into the human territory and wreak havoc, causing hundreds of thousands of lives to be lost.
Because the three great ancient nations had the Myriad Demon Mountain Range as a natural barrier, apart from the occasional demonic beasts that crossed the mountain range, they had never suffered any serious losses.
But just today, the Myriad Demon Mountain Range had suddenly collapsed, and a huge gap of dozens of miles long appeared. Countless demonic beasts had crossed the Myriad Demon Mountain Range and rushed into the territory of the three great ancient countries affiliated with the Taiyi Holy Land. In one day, millions of people had been killed, and the losses were heavy.
Although the three great ancient nations had mobilized millions of troops to stop the demons, they had suffered heavy casualties as well. Now, the kings of the three great ancient nations were all requesting the Taiyi Holy Land to help and repel the demon disaster.
“Oh no, why would the Myriad Demon Mountain Range collapse for no reason?”
In the Taiyi Main Hall, the higher-ups looked serious. The Myriad Demon Mountain Range had existed for tens of thousands of years, and it was really strange that it had suddenly collapsed.
“It’s said that the Demon King has reappeared and made a move to collapse the Myriad Demon Mountain Range!” A Supreme Elder said with an ugly expression.
“The Demon King!”
Everyone’s expression changed.
There was an extremely terrifying giant demon residing in the Demon Valley. It was a Demon King that had reached the Qiyao Realm and was extremely terrifying.
It was said that a Holy Lord of an immortal Holy Land had once gone to the Demon Valley to kill a great demon for its demon core to refine pills. However, he encountered the Demon King and a great battle broke out.
In the end, even someone as strong as that Holy Lord couldn’t do anything to the Demon King. One had to know that a Holy Lord of an immortal Holy Land was mo ordinary Qiyao Realm expert. It was someone who could be considered an expert within the Qiyao Realm. Only then could that person suppress the other Kings and become the Holy Lord.
From this, one could see how terrifying the Demon King was.
“Since it’s a Demon King, it can only be me who will go to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range,” The Taiyi Holy Lord said in a deep voice.
Only a Qiyao Realm King could deal with a Demon King.
“Holy Lord, why don’t you let the Holy Daughter go with you too? That’ll be safer,” A Supreme Elder’s expression changed. That Demon King was no ordinary King, and Taiyi Holy Lord had only entered the Qiyao Realm not long ago. He wasn’t a match for the Demon King.
If the Holy Daughter Ling Ran also went, two Qiyao Realm Kings should have more success in facing the Demon King.
“Don’t worry. Even if I’m not a match for the Demon King, I can escape unscathed. Ling Ran will stay in the Holy Land to oversee things, and we can’t trouble the Elder King for everything either. The main purpose of this trip is to negotiate. I believe that the Demon King of the Demon Valley would not be willing to start a war with the Taiyi Holy Land either.”
Soon, Taiyi Holy Lord left the Holy Land with a few Supreme Elders and headed for the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.
A day later, bad news came. The Taiyi Holy Lord and the Demon King of the Demon Valley had failed to reach an agreement, and a great battle had broken out. In the end, the former had been severely injured.
The Demon King was also injured by Taiyi Holy Lord’s desperate counterattack and temporarily retreated.
However, it was said that the Demon King was enraged after being injured and would soon lead an army of demonic beasts to invade the three great ancient nations.
The news caused everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land to panic.
After the Taiyi Holy Lord had gone to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, no one objected to Holy Daughter Ling Ran becoming the substitute Holy Lord.
Now that the Holy Lord was injured, Ling Ran decided that she would go to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range to visit Holy Lord Taiyi and stop the demon disaster from the Demon Valley from invading.
Qin Chen, who was guiding the 9th Prince’s cultivation, also received the news.
Thousands of demons were about to invade the territory of the human race and cause misery and suffering. As a human, he naturally could not sit by and do nothing.
“9th brother,” He said to the 9th Prince, “The Myriad Demon Mountain Range has collapsed and the demons are causing trouble. This is a good opportunity for you to train and kill a Demon King.”
Before the Holy Daughter Ling Ran was ready to leave, the higher-ups of the Holy Land received a message from the Elder King. He was going to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range to kill the Demon King.
This made everyone in the Holy Land excited. If the Elder King made a move, the Demon King was dead for sure.
Qin Chen and the 9th Prince set off, using the void divine altar of the Taiyi Holy Land. This divine altar had been set up with a spatial array that could tear the void and allow its users to teleport over long distances.
After a huge gap leading to the three great ancient countries had been created by the collapse of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, they temporarily changed the name of the nearest ancient city to the gap to Zhenyao City. More than 1.5 million troops of the three great ancient countries were stationed there, waiting for the demon disaster to strike.
Whoosh!
The space trembled, and a divine altar tore through the space to appear.
It was Qin Chen and the 9th Prince.
They arrived directly above Zhenyao City.
At this moment, Zhenyao City was in a solemn state. A large number of troops had come from the three countries and quickly stationed themselves here.
It was said that the three great ancient countries had mobilized a total of 1.5 million troops to Zhenyao City. This mid-sized city was simply unable to accommodate so many soldiers, so many had set up camp outside the city. As far as the eye could see, there were countless military camps.
Outside Zhenyao City was truly rivers of blood. It was due to the demon disaster that had appeared. The three great ancient countries had quickly mobilized the nearby troops to resist, and after several days and nights of fighting, the surrounding area was completely dyed red with blood.
Looking at the Myriad Demon Mountain Range again, there was originally a towering mountain range that was thousands of feet high. It was like a heavenly pass that stretched for 100000 miles, isolating the human race’s three great ancient countries from the Demon Valley.
At this moment, a large part of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range had collapsed, and a huge gap that was dozens of miles long had appeared, creating a passage between the territory of the human race and the Demon Valley.
Seeing the bloody scene outside Zhenyao City, even the usually gentle Qin Chen could not help but have a solemn expression.
