Chapter 781: Chapter 390 Preparing for Ascension
After leaving Demon Control Spirit City, Lin Yi used the power of space to arrive near the Dark Abyss, where the heavens and earth were already blanketed by the thick Demonic Qi. The plants that had returned to normal after the Demonic Qi had receded were now all withered, their life force completely drained by the onslaught of the Demonic Qi.
Perhaps after a while, all that would grow here would be various plants nourished by the Demonic Qi.
The reason Lin Yi returned was that he wanted to see if there was a way to delay the progress of the transfer from the Dark Abyss because there was no way to control these Demon Beasts apart from annihilating them.
If they were from the Demon Tribe or another race, he could use purification methods to make them harbor good intentions, but such methods had no effect on Demon Beasts.
Otherwise, he could have purified a batch of Demon Beasts to fight against other Demon Beasts within the Demon Domain.
Although in this newly formed Demon Domain, the flesh and blood of Human Cultivators failed to attract a great number of Demon Beasts, still, a large number were drawn by some command, moving swiftly towards the edge to use their explosive Demonic Qi to rapidly expand the territory engulfed by the Demonic Qi.
With his current strength, he could continually exterminate Demon Beasts, blocking their spread for an extended period, but such actions were meaningless.
It would tie him down from comprehending his own paths, and as the rules of the Demon Domain changed, one day, those terrifying Humanoid Demons would surely descend upon this place.
Now, all that could be done was to delay the time as much as possible.
Lin Yi’s figure flashed, bringing him to the front of the Dark Abyss, watching as powerful Demon Beasts surged from the abyss one after another before gradually enlarging.
He used the Eye of Emptiness to look inside and saw those black Humanoid Demons pumping rich Demonic Qi into the Dark Abyss, causing the spread of the Demonic Qi in this world to accelerate.
He had been paying attention to the movements behind the Dark Abyss, and these black Humanoid Demons had been replaced several times; many had already perished when they were dispersing the Creation Seal.
After all, the suppression of the world’s rules was no laughing matter. Without reaching the realm of complete control and the ability to change the rules, one had to be restricted by those rules, which is why those Humanoid Demons had to alter the world’s rules slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years.
Now, with the seal undone, it seemed that the black Humanoid Demon, through cracks in the Dark Abyss, had noticed his presence. It raised its head, spitting black blood while wiping its throat in his direction, and then grabbed a nearby colossal Demon Beast, tore it apart, and stuffed it into its mouth.
Lin Yi regarded it calmly. These Humanoid Demons were likely the rulers within the Demon Domain, while the other bizarrely shaped Demon Beasts were simply bio-weapons they had crafted.
He tried injecting the Dark Abyss with Primordial Chaos Energy and Golden Qi of Creation. Although he couldn’t re-seal it, he could slow down the rate of transfer for any object within the Demon Domain considerably.
After that, he didn’t linger, returning to the Holy Church Cave Mansion to begin new enlightenment.
As time passed, a hundred years went by. Thanks to his delaying efforts, although the Demonic Qi territory continued to spread, there was still time before it would reach Demon Control Spirit City.
Even so, the Human Clan of the Spirit Profound Realm didn’t dare to let their guard down, preparing for battle on one hand while opening Tai Xuan Dao Palace on the other, summoning capable Cultivators to enter for learning and instruction.
As time went on, the Realms of the Demon Beasts emerging from the Dark Abyss kept increasing, almost approaching that of the Mahayana Realm. In a few hundred to a thousand years more, it was likely that Demon Beasts at the level of True Immortal strength would emerge.
One day, Lin Yi suddenly sensed something, stepping out from his Cave Mansion and looking up at the sky, where he saw the radiance continuously shining. He felt that the rules of this world were starting to undergo mysterious changes.
It seemed that the Immortal Realm was finally about to extend assistance, not willing to let the Demon Domain overrun this Spirit Profound Cultivation World.
He had already heard from Tai Xuan Dao Palace earlier; the Immortal Realm had responded, stating that a rescue plan had been launched. Slowly changing the rules was just the first step, and surely there would follow a dispatch of Immortals to the Lower Realm.
As the light appeared and persisted, Tai Xuan Dao Palace also noticed and inquired Lin Yi, “Elder Long Ao, lights have appeared in the sky, has something changed?”
They feared this could be changes from the Demon Domain behind the Dark Abyss, which would put them in a life-and-death crisis.
Lin Yi replied, indicating that the Immortal Realm was changing the rules and Immortals would surely descend to the Lower Realm in the future, so they need not worry.
Reassured by his response, the Great Tribulation Experts of the Dao Palace promptly relayed this news to the entire Human race.
Knowing that the Immortal Realm has started their rescue and would soon confront the Demon race head-on, the human Cultivators, including the Demon Tribe, were all invigorated. With the Immortal Realm as their support, they had no more concerns.
However, Lin Yi sighed and shook his head. Not all Immortals were like Sun Daoyuan, possessing kind intentions. Even with the Immortals’ arrival, it was unlikely that the Cultivators of the Spirit Profound Realm would be free from worry, as there was a great chance they would be sent directly to the front lines of the battlefield—in other words, cannon fodder.
