Chapter 836: The Demons’ Origin

Translator: jinzeffect

On a vast ocean, there was a figure traveling alone.

Saints were very lonely. They would spend most of their time searching for resources to increase their cultivation.

Not everyone was a prodigy like Li Fuchen who comprehended an apex cultivation technique and apex sword arts. For a regular saint to increase strength and lifespan, the only thing to do was to increase cultivation. However, there weren’t many treasures that could rapidly increase a saint’s cultivation.

“What is that?”

From far, this long-bearded saint saw a patch of darkness appearing on the horizon.

“Demons?” The long-bearded saint was rather astonished.

The Deep Blue Plane didn’t have many demons. At least in comparison with humans and demonic beasts, the number of demons was pitifully low. Therefore, it was rare to see a big group of demons.

“These demons are all of the other race, killing them will grant qi fate too.” The long-bearded saint viewed qi fate with importance.

Having good qi fate would mean better fated opportunities. The better the fated opportunities, the higher chances of obtaining cultivation resources.

“Die!”

The number of demons were massive, but the long-bearded saint didn’t care. As long as there weren’t demon overlords, any number of demons would still be the same as ants.

With a wave of the hand, a horrific qi force swept towards the horizon like a storm.

Rumble!

The qi force dissipated in the midst of its path.

“Who did that!?” The long-bearded saint was wary.

Only a saint-level existence could disperse the qi force of a saint.

“A human saint should be very delicious.” At the front, a large and stalwart figure appeared in the vision of the long-bearded saint.

“It is a demon overlord! Run!”

The large man might look the same as a human, but the demon qi presence couldn’t be concealed and had a huge difference as compared to a human.

When facing a demon overlord, the long-bearded saint didn’t have any impractical thoughts. There was only one word in his mind and that was to ‘run’.

After all, the weakest demon overlord had the strength to contest with a high-level saint. The long-bearded saint was just a regular mid-level saint.

“Can you escape?” Behind the long-bearded saint, another demon overlord appeared.

“Thunderbolt Palm!” With a flash on the right hand, the long-bearded saint executed a palm strike on this demon overlord.

It was unknown if the demon overlord was careless as the palm landed right on the chest.

But at the next moment, the long-bearded saint had an awful expression.

His palm strike couldn’t even break the skin of the demon overlord. The faint electric currents seemed to be giving the demon overlord a tickle.

Blaze!

A dark red flame flashed and struck the long-bearded saint.

The long-bearded saint let out a scream and his essence blood was quickly devoured. His corpse was burned by the flames and turned into ashes.

The large man rushed over and said to the flames, “Philie, you snatch my prey.”

The flames turned into a demon overlord who grinned and said, “Gura, there are plenty of saints in this plane. How care about this one?”

The demon overlord might be talking like that, but he would never agree to give up the long-bearded saint.

A saint’s essence blood was a huge nourishment for demon overlords.

…

There wasn’t just one Gate of Flesh. Many Gates of Flesh gradually rose up on the abandoned continents on the Deep Blue Plane.

Countless demons surged out from the Gates of Flesh.

The first to detect the demon invasion were the demonic beasts, after all, the ocean was the demonic beasts’ territory.

With mutual understanding, the demonic beasts and demons didn’t kill each other.

Demons were just like humans and were suited to live on land. Since that was the case, then it was best for the humans to be on the frontline. Once the humans couldn’t resist anymore, then the demonic beasts would step in.

Since the demonic beasts didn’t have any intention to fight, the demons naturally didn’t do so either. Having a battle with the demonic beasts in the ocean was the same as to look for trouble. It wouldn’t be late to fight the demonic beasts after wiping out the humans.

Like locusts, continents started to fall when facing the demon army.

There was no choice. The demons were too powerful and were considered invincible among the same levels. With the complement of numbers, they were simply unstoppable. Even when the humans and land demonic beasts worked together, they still couldn’t stop the demons.

Massive numbers of humans and land demonic beasts were delivered to abandoned continents to create new Gates of Flesh.

…

“Elder Li, report to the headquarters immediately.”

On this day, the Mystic Deep Sword Saint’s voice was emitted from the elder token.

Hearing the Mystic Deep Sword Saint’s worried voice, Li Fuchen immediately rushed over.

In the headquarters, apart from the Mystic Deep Sword Saint, the Phenomenon Sword Saint, Tiger Fang Sword Saint, and Hundred Flower Sword Saint were here too.

“Greetings to all the elders, what happened?” Li Fuchen felt strange.

The Tiger Fang Sword Saint said with a heavy tone, “The demons are invading the Deep Blue Plane.”

“Demons?” Li Fuchen didn’t understand.

The demons might be powerful, but their numbers were too little and they couldn’t achieve much.

“No, the Tiger Fang Sword Saint said it was an invasion.” Li Fuchen thought in his mind.

With a surprised expression, Li Fuchen said, “The demons came from other planes?”

The Mystic Deep Sword Saint nodded, “Demons are a top-class race in the entire universe. They occupied many planes. In history, our Deep Blue Plane has been invaded numerous times. The demons leftover are the remnants of the previous invasions. But it has been a few hundred thousand years since the last demon invasion. Many don’t even know that the demons are lifeforms of other planes. They thought that demons are native lifeforms. Therefore, it is hard for the demons to be completely eliminated.”

The Deep Blue Plane had too many continents. There were nine high-class continents, hundreds of mid-class continents, and innumerable low-class continents. It wasn’t easy to wipe out the demons. With the elapse of time, many things would be slowly forgotten and hundreds of thousands of years was truly a very long time.

“Doesn’t the plane have willpower? Why doesn’t it interfere?”

L Fuchen felt that if the plane willpower didn’t allow the lifeforms of other planes to enter, the demons would never be able to enter no matter how powerful they were.

The Phenomenon Sword Saint sighed and said, “The plane willpower doesn’t have a consciousness. It would be useless even if it had one. Above the plane willpower is the universe willpower and the universe willpower uses natural selection. It is the survival of the fittest. If humans are too weak, it is normal for us to be extinguished.”

“So that is the case.” Li Fuchen was enlightened.

The universe willpower was the dictator of every existence. The killing among races and the war among planes suited the hideous law of the universe.

When thinking about this point, Li Fuchen was rather worried. The East Unicorn Continent, Seven Color Continent, and Emperor Sky Continent would never be able to resist the demon army. He had to make a trip to those places.

“No need to hurry.” The Phenomenon Sword Saint said, “Once the demons invaded, the battle towers should have activated. By using the battle towers, one can teleport to any battle region in Deep Blue Plane’s 100 biggest battle regions.”

The Phenomenon Sword Saint handed a jade scroll to Li Fuchen.

After receiving the jade scroll, Li Fuchen looked inside with his spiritual awareness.

The entire Deep Blue Plane was represented in an oval shape. In the center were the nine high-class continents. Each high-class continent and the surrounding sea regions were represented as a battle region. In the middle circle of the oval shape, there were numerous mid-class continents, forming 27 battle regions. At the outer circle, the low-class continents formed 64 battle regions. Li Fuchen took a glance and saw that the Emperor Sky Continent was at the No.19 battle region, the Seven Color Continent was at the No.30 battle region, while the East Unicorn Continent was at the No.80 battle region.
