Chapter 778: Chapter 388 Impending Storm_2
“Fellow Daoists, you have worked hard. The matter here is concluded, I will take my leave,” Lin Yi said calmly, indicating that if the Immortal Realm does nothing about it, then these immortals are all a bunch of cold-blooded individuals who concern themselves only with their own matters.
In that case, once he achieves great success in his path, he would not help anyone from the Immortal Realm.
“Thank you, Brother Long, for the reminder. Otherwise, if those high-realm Demon Beasts had attacked, the Spirit Profound Realm would no longer exist,” Yang Tianhong and others thanked him with clasped hands.
It seems that this Brother Long Ao wouldn’t lie, the Spirit Profound Realm really is about to face a great crisis.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, his figure flashed, and he left the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, returning to the location of the Dark Abyss to continue his closed-door cultivation and comprehension.
Before he knew it, decades passed. During this time, he sensed that the Demon Tribe had brought down a powerful Heavenly Tribulation, and through the investigation of his Primordial Spirit, it was the Serpent Demon Ancestor undergoing the Tribulation.
Unfortunately, the last desperate struggle was not successful, and in the end, the Serpent Demon Ancestor perished under the Heavenly Tribulation, its body and Dao both annihilated.
After the Serpent Demon Ancestor died during the Tribulation, a disciple of the Jiao Dragon who had joined the Holy Sect succeeded in breaking through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, becoming the new Serpent Demon Ancestor.
These events did not concern Lin Yi; what mattered to him was the increasingly rapid disintegration of the seal over the Dark Abyss during this time.
Through the observation of the Eye of Emptiness, he discovered a black humanoid demon on the other side of the Dark Abyss relentlessly dissolving the seal, accelerating the process.
The Realm of this black humanoid demon was above that of a Golden Immortal, at the Tai Yi level, and the prior Blood-colored Fiend was at the Golden Immortal level. According to the progression of the Demon Realm World rules, beings of this realm were not yet able to linger in the Demon Domain freely.
Thus, Lin Yi also saw that while the black fiend was dismantling the seal, it was also battling against the world rules, with black blood continuously flowing out of its seven orifices.
At this rate, it would take only two or three decades for the seal crafted from the Golden Qi of Creation to completely crumble.
He checked on the state of that Immortal, who was in a critical period of healing, his entire being sunk deep into his spiritual core, without much guard up.
This Immortal had set up several Formations around him, making it so that even someone at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm could not detect any traces if they stood nearby.
Looking at the Dark Abyss nearby, Lin Yi felt it was time to act. Opening the seal sooner could enable the people of the Spirit Profound Realm’s Human race and Demon Tribe to start preparing for war, raising a sense of crisis.
After all, it had been six to seven hundred years since he sealed the Dark Abyss, and with the Human race and Demon Tribe in a truce, the entire Spirit Profound Realm had been in a relaxed atmosphere, no longer as tense as before.
If the seal continues, in the future, the Realm of the Demon Beasts that can pass through the Dark Abyss into the Spirit Profound Realm would get increasingly higher, so it would be better to open the seal earlier and train the troops.
Once the plan was set, Lin Yi first entered the Cave Mansion where that Immortal was in seclusion and made some slight modifications to the Formation. By keeping a close watch, he learned that the name of the man from the Immortal Realm was Sun Daoyuan.
The name certainly had a Daoist charm to it, it’s just a pity he had joined an organization hostile to the Creation Method.
As for the purpose of this organization’s existence, Lin Yi had some speculations during this period, but he didn’t know if they were accurate; perhaps he would understand it all once he was in the Immortal Realm.
The place where Sun Daoyuan descended was not far from the Dark Abyss, as it once belonged to the Demon Clan region. The space was destabilized when the Dark Abyss broke through, naturally making it the optimal place for descent.
After modifying the Formation, Lin Yi returned to the location of the Dark Abyss and began preparing to move this spacetime artifact connected to the Demon Domain.
After numerous experiments, he could completely move the artifact, of course, only while the seal still existed; if the seal were opened, he would no longer be able to move it easily.
And so, he enveloped the Dark Abyss with Primordial Chaos Energy and the Golden Qi of Creation, causing it to float in midair. Then, he quietly submerged into Sun Daoyuan’s Cave Mansion, which was in a state of retreat, and placed it within the heart of the mountain.
Using the Formation that Sun Daoyuan himself had laid out, combined with the concealment provided by the Primordial Chaos Energy and the Golden Qi of Creation, he ensured that this Immortal who was healing would not detect the slightest anomaly.
By the time he would notice, it would already be too late. The first wave of Demon Beasts tasked with the responsibility of expanding the frontier were sure to possess extremely formidable strength and Realm.
At the same time, Lin Yi informed the Human race and the Demon Tribe that the seal within the Dark Abyss would dissolve in a few years, urging them to make early preparations and establish a defense line.
Upon receiving Lin Yi’s news, the Human race and the Demon Tribe became instantly tense. After several hundred years of peace, the end was nigh. They harbored no doubts about the accuracy of the message, considering that the Dark Abyss had been sealed by Long Ao himself.
The Great Tribulation Experts within the Tai Xuan Dao Palace and the Tribulation Demon Patriarchs from the Demon Tribe engaged in discussions and decided to continue the truce between the two races to jointly resist the Demon race.
Therefore, the Guards previously stationed in the Demon Tribe Spirit City were all transferred to the Demon Clan region. Meanwhile, some Formation Masters, at the request of the Demon Tribe, entered the Demon Tribe’s defense positions to safeguard the Formations laid out by the venerable Long Ao.
In these few hundred years, Lin Yi also fortified the defense positions of the Human race’s Spirit City and the Demon Tribe with powerful city protection Formations, capable of withstanding attacks from Tribulation Fiends.
The Sea Tribe, which had promised to join the resistance against the Demon race, also delivered on their commitment, joining the alliance of Humans and Demons. Together, they constructed a protective moat in front of the major Spirit Cities.
Apart from the Insect Race, the rest of the three races within the Spirit Profound Realm established a unified defense line, for they all realized the gravity of the situation.
If what Long Ao had said was true, and the world rules of the Demon Realm were changing, then the Spirit Profound Realm would face a tremendous crisis. Therefore, it was imperative that the two races joined forces to possibly await reinforcements from the Immortal Realm.
Otherwise, should they fight individually, they would fail together. If the Demon Tribe were to be breached, the Human race would certainly follow suit, and vice versa.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi also ordered the Holy Sect to join the defense line of the Demon Tribe and implement a rotation system. The Holy Sect harbored kind intentions and was loath to kill innocents; this did not extend to the Demon Beasts void of emotion.
Over the years, through insights gained from the Golden Qi of Creation, Lin Yi had conceived Cultivation Techniques suitable for the Holy Sect, which he had imparted. As a result, the Spiritual Power of all Holy Sect Disciples had been transformed into Pure Yang Qi.
This Qi of light possessed a very strong restraining effect against the demons filled with dark and evil energy. At the same time, it could also provide healing effects to others, capable of both offensive and supportive roles.
Zhi Ling, White Painting, and others also expressed their desire to head to the Demon Tribe’s defense positions to contribute their efforts against the Demon race because they, too, were Disciples of the Holy Sect.
Lin Yi naturally did not refuse and refined some powerful Spiritual Artifacts for them, which contained some Golden Qi of Creation, to save their lives when necessary.
The Disciples from various races who had previously received his teachings were the first to sign up for the defense positions of their respective races. However, the leaders of each race politely declined, instructing these individuals to further comprehend the teachings he had passed on and reach higher Realms before considering battle.
He could understand their perspective; after all, those who had received his teachings were destined to possess tremendous strength in the future. If they prematurely entered the battlefield and met an untimely end, what then?
Finally, as time passed, the seal performed by the Golden Qi of Creation gradually disintegrated and eventually ceased to exist. The Dark Abyss that had been sealed for hundreds of years slowly began to stir, the closed eyes slowly opening, revealing that terrifying fissure.
The disappearance of the seal over the Dark Abyss caused countless Demon Beasts to frantically try to cross over.
In the end, these weaker Demon Beasts were devoured by the peculiarly shaped, powerful demons that followed, filling their mouths. And the first wave of Demon Beasts to emerge all possessed Tribulation Transcendence Realm strength.
The revival of the Dark Abyss allowed Demonic Qi to overflow continuously. The bit of Primordial Chaos Energy and Golden Qi of Creation that Lin Yi had used to cover it up could no longer resist the pervasive invasion of the rich demonic energy. Sun Daoyuan, who was in the midst of healing, naturally also perceived the emergence of Demonic Qi.
