Chapter 1680 - Deep Abyss Becomes God, Myriad Realms Falls

The fall of the Heavenly Court dealt a huge blow to the morale of the entire Heavenly Realm. It felt as though the symbol they had revered most was shattered before their eyes, as if the pillar holding up the heavens had snapped.

Suddenly, the entire Heavenly Realm fell into despair. Countless forces lost their will to resist and were swiftly overwhelmed and erased by the advancing demon armies.

That triggered a domino effect. Across the thirty-three heavenly domains, numerous top-tier forces and even immortal holy lands defected to the demon race, willingly becoming their lackeys.

In the Imperial Supremacy Heavenly Domain, the Apex Mystic Sect immediately surrendered without hesitation, throwing the operations of the Heavenly Palace into chaos.

This betrayal proved fatal. The immortal holy lands, already strained to their limits, saw their strength plummet. Under the demons’ assault, they immediately collapsed.

The relatively weaker immortal holy lands like the Nine Tranquility Pavilion, Limitless Sect, Immortal Aspirant Tower, and Shackled Immortal Valley collapsed outright.

The Sage powerhouses of their sects were slain, and the Immortal Emperor behemoths either died or surrendered. Ancient legacies that had endured for hundreds of thousands of years vanished overnight, erased from history.

The Featherlight Sect’s situation became even more dire.

Without the support of the power of the Heavenly Court, they were barely managing to hold the Demon Realm Passageways with their own strength. Now, they had to face the demon army and even the rebel army. They were pushed to the brink

With no alternative, they abandoned the passageways and withdrew all their forces to defend the sect’s core.

This was not an isolated case.

One immortal holy land after another made the same decision. The passageways between the Heavenly Realm and the Demon Realm were left completely undefended. Demon armies poured through unhindered. Flames rose across the skies, and cries of despair echoed without end.

Some immortal holy lands, including the Featherlight Sect, were still strong enough to endure. So, after consolidating their defenses and activating their sect foundations, they barely managed to withstand the demonic onslaught.

The top forces, major forces, minor forces, and rogue cultivators without Sages to oversee them were helpless. Their resistance crumbled almost instantly. They were either exterminated, humiliated into submission, or devoured outright. The flames of war consumed the Heavenly Realm. No place remained safe.

Faced with the assault of the demon armies, they were completely powerless to resist. They collapsed after mounting a feeble defense, either annihilated by the demons, endured humiliation and defected to the demon race as their lackeys, or even became food for them.

The flames of war spread throughout the Heavenly Realm. There was no longer a safe space.

Rivers of blood flowed. Severed limbs and corpses piled up into mountains.

More than half of the Heavenly Realm had fallen. Only a limited number of immortal holy lands like the Featherlight Sect were still holding on bitterly.

But how long could their resistance last?

Centuries passed under this unrelenting carnage.

The Heavenly Realm teetered on the edge of total collapse. One by one, even those immortal holy lands that had stubbornly endured were breached and slaughtered. Even the myriad realms were on the brink of collapse.

The great realms that stood at the top of the myriad realms, like the Mystical Realm, Dragon Island, and Phoenix Ancient Realm, had deep and robust foundations and had immense strength. So, they showed no immediate signs of collapse.

Refugees from countless fallen realms struggled their way into these sanctuaries, seeking protection.

However, even these top great realms like the Mystical Realm, Dragon Island, and Phoenix Ancient Realm were facing immense pressure. Not from demon armies, but from a single existence: Deep Abyss Demon Lord.

A thousand years had already passed since the Demon Realm invaded the myriad realms. No one knew whether Deep Abyss had already attained the Dao and ascended to godhood. If he had, these great realms would be his first targets. Despite their many Sages and overwhelming strength, none believed they could contend with a God.

After all, he had singlehandedly decimated the Sage army from the myriad realms. Consequently, an invisible pressure shrouded everyone in the myriad realms.

Then, as if summoned by their dread, he appeared.

“Hahahahaha, hahahahaha!” Laughter echoed across the myriad realms as a colossal demonic projection manifested in the heavens. It was the projection of Deep Abyss Demon Lord himself.

“That is... the Deep Abyss Demon Lord!”

“Could it be that he has succeeded in attaining the Dao?”

“It’s over! The myriad realms are done for!”

Despair engulfed all who witnessed the vision. The meaning behind the projection of Deep Abyss Demon Lord manifesting across the myriad realms needed no explanation.

“In three months, I shall descend upon the myriad realms!”

Deep Abyss Demon Lord’s words reverberated throughout the myriad realms, making countless people shudder.

Three months later, the Deep Abyss Demon Lord—no, the Deep Abyss Demon God, would descend upon the myriad realms and proclaim his rule over the world.

Three months passed very quickly.

The first stop of the Deep Abyss Demon God’s descent was the Mystical Realm. The numerous powerhouses of that realm came together to resist him; with just a single palm strike, he annihilated all the Sages and left the entire Mystical Realm speechless with horror.

That palm strike crushed the final shred of confidence lingering in the hearts of the people. Hope collapsed. The Mystical Realm fell.

Afterwards, he descended upon Dragon Island.

At this critical moment, the Dragon Island’s Golden Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Ancient Realm’s Nine-colored Phoenix King underwent fusion. Dragon and phoenix merged into one, birthing the Primordial Dragon Phoenix. Breaking free from the shackles of the Sage King realm, they stepped into the Half-God realm.

“Back off, Deep Abyss. Our Dragon Island and Ancient Phoenix Realm are not lands you can trample at will.”

The dragon-phoenix and Deep Abyss Demon Lord’s divine figures stood atop the heavens, visible across the myriad realms.

“Back off? Just because of your fusion?” Deep Abyss Demon Lord sneered in contempt.

“Deep Abyss, you still haven’t attained the Dao and ascended to true godhood. If you had, the signs would have manifested across the realms. A white rainbow piercing the sun. Celestial flowers falling like rain. Violet qi rising from the east. Golden lotuses surging from the earth. That alone proves you are no God!”

Those words ignited a fragile spark of hope among the countless beings of the myriad realms.

“Hoho, how laughable.” Deep Abyss Demon Lord gave a non-committal reply with a shake of his head. His gaze sharpened as killing intent poured forth, locking onto the dragon-phoenix. “I’ll give you two choices. First, become mounts for my demon race. Second, become nourishment for it. Choose.”

“

Hmph

! Dragons and phoenixes are races born supreme. To serve as mounts for demons? Impossible!”

“In that case... die!”

The Deep Abyss Demon Lord struck in an instant, pointing a finger at the dragon-phoenix.

Terrifying demonic qi surged forth, shattering the space. Endless divine might seemed to coalesce within that strike.

“Fight!” shouted the dragon-phoenix. Overwhelming law power surged out violently as he unleashed a palm strike, shattering everything in its path.

Yet the moment the two forces met, his attack was torn apart, shattered into fragments, and swallowed whole. A vast, annihilating force followed, engulfing him completely.

The fusion of dragon and phoenix, the Primordial Dragon Phoenix of the Half-God realm, could not withstand even one blow. He was slain on the spot.

Across the myriad realms, all who witnessed this scene stood frozen, their minds blank.

“Demon God!”

“Demon God is invincible!”

Unlike the myriad realms that had fallen silent, the countless demons erupted into cheers and roared in excitement.

Soon, numerous realms among the myriad realms surrendered.

“Greetings to His Majesty the Demon God!”

“Our respects to His Majesty the Demon God!”

More and more realms chose to submit.

They had no other choice. Even the Primordial Dragon Phoenix, a Half-God born of dragon and phoenix fusion, had fallen in a single strike. Who could still dare claim that the Deep Abyss Demon Lord had not attained the Dao?

Following the death of the dragon-phoenix, the myriad realms collapsed into submission and ushered in their darkest era.
