Chapter 1674 - The Dawn of War

Rumble!

The entire world trembled violently. Across the ten realms hosting the Immortals Assembly, the barriers trembled violently before cracking apart. A suffocating pressure surged outward from the Heavenly Court, carrying with it demonic roars that shook the soul.

It felt as though an ancient demon king was clawing his way into existence.

“

Gagaga

, so, this is the Heavenly Realm? What fresh air.”

“

Gege, gegege

, once we slaughter our way in, I’ll drain the primordial Yin of billions of young girls. Hahahaha...”

Overwhelming demonic qi shrouded the Heavenly Court. Numerous colossal demonic silhouettes appeared, emanating terrifying demonic might. It was a legion of nightmares, a demonic tide poised to drown the heavens.

“This is...”

“Demons! The demon race is attacking the Heavenly Court’s passageway!”

“What is happening? Are they insane? Why would they dare launch an open assault now?!”

Panic rippled through the ten realms. Not only the younger generation attending the Immortals Assembly, but even the seasoned powerhouses of the Heavenly Court turned pale, shock and disbelief written across their faces.

Three hundred thousand years ago, the Demon Realm launched a large-scale invasion on the Heavenly Realm. Though repelled, the scars of that war still lingered. Since then, clashes had been limited to minor skirmishes, little more than controlled bloodletting.

However, this was different. The pressure erupting from the Heavenly Court’s Demon Realm Passageway was unmistakable. This was no probing attack—it was a full-scale invasion. At least twenty to thirty Demon Emperor-level monstrosities were involved.

The demons that had lain dormant for hundreds of thousands of years had finally bared their fangs.

“Quick, to the Demon Realm Passageway! Do not let a single demon step into the Heavenly Realm!”

In an instant, experts from the Heavenly Court and the visiting powerhouses rushed toward the Demon Realm Passageway.

Defending against the invasion of the Demon Realm was the duty of everyone in the Heavenly Realm. Defending the Heavenly Realm was not a choice but an obligation shared by all who lived under its skies.

Moreover, if the Demon Realm Passageway guarded by the Heavenly Court were breached, it would be a disaster for the entire Heavenly Realm.

The court no longer held its former glory, but it was still the symbol of the Heavenly Realm. The court was far stronger than the immortal holy lands of the Heavenly Realm. If the demon race broke through, the entire Heavenly Realm would be dragged into an abyss.

“Sinful demons, how dare you attack the Heavenly Realm during the Immortals Assembly?! You’re courting death!”

“Kill them! Slaughter every last demonic scum!”

Immortal might erupted across the Heavenly Court as terrifying figures descended upon the passageway. The Heavenly Court’s army was mobilized in full, charging head-on into the demonic tide.

However, the demon race’s invasion was ferocious beyond expectations. The defending forces were driven back almost immediately, their formations thrown into chaos. The demonic pressure surged past the passageway itself, shrouding the court and shaking the Immortals Assembly.

As the court experts arrived to provide support, the Heavenly Court’s army, which had been pushed back, finally stabilized.

Suddenly, a maniacal laughter echoed through the sky. Then, an incomparably terrifying sage might swept out, causing the entire Demon Realm Passageway to destabilize.

“Hahahaha! After lying dormant for hundreds of thousands of years, today we can finally unleash a massacre!”

A terrifyingly large hand condensed from demonic qi reached out from the demon race’s army and arrived at the Heavenly Court’s army in the blink of an eye. Several Immortal Emperor behemoths screamed and exploded into blood mists.

These were existences standing at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm. Yet before a Demon Sage, they were no different from ants. The difference in strength was like the gap between an Immortal King and an Immortal Emperor.

“

Roar

! Black Corpse, you’re courting death!” A terrifying Sage’s roar echoed from the depths of the Heavenly Court, turning into sonic waves and sweeping into the Demon Realm Passageway. Countless demons were obliterated instantly, including demonic Immortal Emperors.

A figure clad in sacred light descended above the passageway. His aura was vast and unfathomable, deep as the abyss and heavy as the heavens themselves.

This person was none other than the Green-Robed Sword Sage, one of the nine Sages of the Heavenly Court.

“Hahaha, Green Robes. Tens of thousands of years, and you’ve stagnated completely. How disappointing.”

From the depths of the Demon Realm Passageway, demonic qi rolled violently before peeling apart layer by layer. A throne of white bones appeared, piled atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Seated upon it was a pale demonic figure, death qi radiating endlessly from his body.

He was a Demon Sage of the Demon Realm: the Black Corpse Demon Sage.

“Black Corpse,” the Green-Robed Sword Sage said coldly, eyes blazing. “What madness drives the Demon Realm to assault the Heavenly Court on this scale? Have you forgotten the defeat you suffered three hundred thousand years ago?”

Two streaks of sword light with unparalleled sharpness shot out from the Green-Robed Sword Sage’s eyes, so sharp they seemed tangible.

“Painful lesson? Hahahaha, how ridiculous! Cut the crap, Green Robes! We will breach the Heavenly Realm and turn you all into our slaves.” The Black Corpse Demon Sage laughed.

The crowd was astonished.

So it was true. The Demon Realm intended to reenact the calamity of three hundred thousand years past.

“Hmph. We repelled you once, and we will do so again,” the Green-Robed Sword Sage declared. “Your head will serve as the proclamation of the Heavenly Realm’s might!”

As his voice fell, a terrifying storm of swords swept out from the Green-Robed Sword Sage, so powerful that even an Immortal Emperor behemoth would be torn to shreds if caught in it.

The holy sword in his hand let out a cry. Then, he turned into a stream of green robe and charged forward like a living blade.

“Green Robes, you’re still a Three Lotus Sage after so many years, making zero progress. You truly think you can kill me? Delusional! I’ll tear off your head and sound the horn for our conquest!”

An overwhelming might erupted from the Black Corpse Demon Sage. He suddenly stood up from his throne of white bones, which creaked and transformed into a white bone spear with countless wronged souls on it, and he thrust forth with it.

Rumble!

Their attacks exploded in the air, shaking heaven and earth, crumbling the stars. A terrifying storm swept out wildly. The entire world seemed like it would completely collapse under the collision of the two Sages.
