Chapter 487: The Great Acheron Formation Breaks, Catastrophe On Firmament Star

Outside Purgatory Forest, a black figure was das.h.i.+ng towards the direction of it.

This person was currently ranked second on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard, Zhan Hongying.

At the same time, she was the Maiden Sage of the Ashura Tribe.

“Recently, demonic qi spikes have been observed in various locations across Firmament Star, and these locations are all seal nodes of those Demonic Realm Sages and even Sage Rulers. It seems that someone is trying to release these guys back to this world. This is an urgent matter, so I must quickly inform the Tribe Leader and the others about this.”

Zhan Hongying thought to herself.

However, just then, an intense energy fluctuation began to emanate from the Purgatory Forest in front of her.

That originally crimson sky slowly reverted to its normal color, and the Purgatory Forest’s h.e.l.lish scene had also started to change.

The dangerous ground that it used to be was slowly turning ordinary.

“It’s gone. The eighteen prohibitory seals are gone.” Zhan Hongying’s expressions changed, feeling incredibly shocked.

Her subconscious told her that the Ashura Tribe would soon be facing grave danger.

Hence, she sped up her traveling speed and rushed towards the inner depths of Purgatory Forest.

At this moment, the Ashura Tribe was currently facing an invasion from Touba and his group of Demonic Realm elites. As the Boundary Emperors were all occupied with maintaining the operation of the formation, they could not join in the battle. Hence the Ashura Tribe Leader was left to fend their enemies off along with a group of elders.

The Ashura Tribe were adept at combat, but this time, there was just way too many Demonic Realm elites to deal with. The Ashura Tribe was barely holding on against them.

Boom!

Ashura Tribe Leader struck out a punch, unleas.h.i.+ng a surge of tremendous Ashuran strength qi, and managed to knock a demonic Sage Ruler off his feet.

That demonic Sage Ruler had a horn on his head and was holding a black pike. Demonic qi circulated around his body, forming the shadow of a demonic dragon behind him.

“D*mn it, Single-Horned Dragon Demon Sage Ruler. Weren’t you sealed off forty thousand years ago?”

The Ashura Tribe Leader’s facial expression changed.

Over the countless years, the Demonic Realm had been eyeing the Firmament Star. As soon as there was an opportunity, the Demonic Realm’s elites would seep through and invade the lands here. Some of these elites were killed, but some of them were just too strong. Those of them who could not be killed would be sealed off.

It was just like how the White Lotus Sage Ruler sealed off the underworld’s three-headed hound.

This Single-Horned Dragon Demon Sage Ruler before Ashura Tribe Leader now was one of those demons that were sealed off. However, his combat strength was way stronger than that of the three-headed hound.

“Haha, of course, somebody has helped me remove the seal. Ashura Tribe, you guys have safeguarded the Great Acheron Formation for so many years. I reckon you must be really tired. Why don’t I do all of you a favor today and help relieve you of this responsibility!” Single-Horned Dragon Demon Sage Ruler laughed out loud. With the pike in his hands, the demonic qi on his body was threatening to tear the realm apart.

“Hmph. Back when the Great Acheron Emperor set up this formation to seal off the Demonic Realm Portal, he entrusted us the duty to safeguard it. We will never allow you guys to do whatever you want here!”

“I’d like to see how you can keep this mega formation intact by the end of today.”

A huge turmoil stirred within the Ashura Tribe as the terrifying energy swept through the entire Purgatory Forest.

When Zhan Hongying arrived and saw the countless dead and wounded Ashura Tribe members, an ice-cold glint flashed from her eyes. “I’ll f*cking kill all of you sc*mbags here today!”

Along with that shout, crimson flowers started emerging around Zhang Hongying’s body, and a surge of incredibly terrifying Daoist Rhyme burst out with her as the center.

“Ashuran Bloom… She’s the Maiden Sage of the Ashura Tribe.”

“Pfft, Maiden Sage, you say? We’ll start with her, then.”

A demonic elite smirked as he charged toward Zhan Hongying. He had incredible combat strength and was only one step away from being a Sage Ruler.

However, when he got close to Zhan Hongying, those alluring crimson flowers unleashed their long vines at him. In the blink of an eye, he was firmly strangled and incapacitated in place. On top of that, the crimson flowers also had numerous thorns on them, which poked into his body and frenziedly sucked out his blood.

In just a short period, this demonic elite was reduced to a dried corpse.

“Lil Pip.”

Zhan Hongying called out, and the black mist behind her started to tumble around. A wolf-like hound echoed across the land, and the vicious underworld demonic wolf swooped out at its target in a flash of black light. Wherever it pa.s.sed, a black maelstrom swirled up, and its two sharp claws shredded any of the demonic elites in its way.

“How powerful!”

“It’s an underworld demonic wolf. Also, don’t look down on this Maiden Sage’s capabilities. Her combat strength can almost rival a Sage Ruler.”

The demonic elites were all alarmed at this point.

Just then, a black gust of air towered up into the sky at a distance away. That was a ma.s.sive amount of demonic qi.

All the Ashura Tribe members panicked when they saw that.

There was only one place in the entire Ashura Tribe that had demonic qi, and that was the Great Acheron Formation.

However, those demonic qis were all sealed off in the Demonic Realm Portal.

Yet now, demonic qi was rising skyward!

There was only one possibility to this.

“The great formation has been broken!” The Ashura Tribe Leader’s expression looked awful.

Meanwhile, the group of demonic elites was overjoyed.

“Haha, you’ve done it, Young Master.”

“The Demonic Realm is back! Firmament Star shall belong to our territory now. I don’t think there’s a second Great Acheron Emperor here to stop us this time.”

“The renaissance of the Demonic Realm shall begin from this moment.”

Boom, boom, boom…

Surges after surges of demonic qi shot into the clouds, sending shockwaves down the entire realm.

This dreadful demonic qi spread rapidly throughout the entire Firmament Star, with the Purgatory Forest as its source point. All the elites were able to sense this phenomenon.

“This energy… It’s demonic qi!!”

“Oh dear, such a scale of demonic qi has only existed during the demonic onslaught in the past ancient times. But hasn’t the Demonic Realm Portal been blocked off with the Great Acheron Emperor’s great formation back then? Unless the Demonic Realm has breached the seal?!”

“This won’t be any good. That Demonic Realm Portal is the largest known Demonic Well, and it can even allow Emperors to pa.s.s through. If Emperors from the other side were to get here, there was no way Firmament Star would be able to hold off, based on our current capacity. Could this spell the end for the human world?”

At this moment, all the cultivators of Firmament Star, even those ancient beings in the Forbidden Areas turned their attention toward the Purgatory Forest.

Compared to the power struggles between the various great forces on Firmament Star, the Demonic Realm was their one true common enemy!

Following the rise of demonic qi from Purgatory Forest to the skies, which then spread to all corners of Firmament Star, the original spiritual qi of the realm was contaminated as well. Some of the cultivators had never experienced living within demonic qi. Hence, when demonic qi infiltrated their bodies and clashed with the spiritual energy inside them, their bodies self-destructed to a certain death!!

If cultivators were met with such fate, then let alone the normal humans. They had totally no means of withstanding the demonic qi from infiltrating their bodies.

Once in contact with demonic qi, the common folks descended into insanity and proceeded to wreak havoc everywhere like demonic beast-like beings.

Pandemonium broke loose within a hundred kilometers radius of Purgatory Forest, turning it into the so-called h.e.l.l-on-earth!

Meanwhile, demonic qi from Purgatory Forest kept on spreading. If it was not stopped, it would soon envelop the entire Firmament Star. By then, the demonic onslaught of the past ancient times would occur again, and Firmament Star would be turned into a part of the Underworld Demonic Realm.

This was the most unwanted outcome that all cultivators on Firmament Star would like to see.

In a short time, the various great Forbidden Areas’ Boundary Emperors all revealed themselves to the world, rus.h.i.+ng toward the direction of Purgatory Forest.

Aside from the effects that the demonic qi had brought thus far, those demonic beings that were sealed off on Firmament Star had also sensed the incoming demonic qi. They were all broken free of their respective seals, wringing wanton destruction on various parts of the world.

The whole Firmament Star plunged into a state of chaos.

As every second or minute pa.s.sed, thousands to millions of people would die.

This was a great catastrophe!

A catastrophe that could wipe out an entire realm!
