The Dragon God of Destruction
The Crisis of the Saint Continent
The Otherworldly Gate Seal Gap
Lin Ming's face was extremely grim when he heard what Bai Yi said. He did not expect that this time the Demon Prince would unite just to take down one Mortal world.
“Seeing the look on your face, you must not have expected that the Seven Demon Princes would join forces just to invade your world right?” Bai Yi asked with a warm smile on his face.
To Huan Caiyi, he stared at the smile on Bai Yi's face with disdain. Bai Yi's soft and jovial personality was certainly just camouflage even though he didn't prove it by making Bai Yi show his real face.
“Your Majesty Lin Ming, since I have given you this news, I hope you are ready when we meet again. I'm very sure that you won't be able to go anywhere because the world you live in is very unique, anyone is forbidden to go out but anyone can enter. Only we demons are different because from the beginning the Otherworldly Gate was the same as the Qi Gate and Spirit Gate!” After saying that, Bai Yi slowly disappeared as if fusing with air.
Lin Ming who was at that, made up his mind first and directly swung the sword he was holding towards where Bai Yi was.
The sraing!
Jrezh!
The abyss that was extremely deep and almost stretched for tens of km was visible in an instant with just a single wave of sword intent carried out by Lin Ming.
Huan Caiyi raised his hand to stop the dust and strong wind blowing towards his face. He was very surprised because he had never seen what his grandfather's strength was like when fighting.
“She escaped.” Mumbled Lin Ming with a slightly grim face.
“Caiyi, let's go back. We need to hurry out of this place! If the seven Demon Princes joined forces, then it was unlikely that the Saint Continent would win against them!” said Lin Ming. He immediately held onto Huan Caiyi's shoulder without waiting for him to reply and the two instantly disappeared in an instant.
In almost half a day later, Lin Ming took Huan Caiyi to their residence which was a small bamboo hut on the outskirts of a barren black forest.
“You two are back?” The figure of the old woman slightly bent with all-black clothes was none other than Lin Xi who spoke when she came out of the simple bamboo hut.
“There's something important I need to talk about. Come in.” Lin Ming with his extremely serious face spoke and slowly walked into the bamboo hut.
Lin Xi's eyes narrowed slightly. He understood very well what Lin Ming was like when he was joking, being serious or something. And this time, through Lin Ming's solemn expression, he realized that something bad was about to happen. He immediately turned around and walked into the hut followed by Huan Caiyi.
In the simple-looking living room, Lin Ming who had been sitting opposite Lin Xi and Huan Caiyi, spoke slowly, “Bai Yi appeared at the place where Caiyi was fighting the demons.”
“Hm? Bai Yi's? Why did he show up? Usually the Demon Prince will no longer want to come to this place because we are both the ones guarding here.” Lin Xi was a little astonished and knew that the appearance of the Demon Prince was not something simple.
Lin Ming nodded then told what Bai Yi had said.
“How is it possible? It was never a history of the Demon Prince going to cooperate with each other. We have fought all the Demon Princes, their individual strength is terrifying! To fight one of them, we have to work hard. And Bai Yi was only the middle tier of all Demon Princes!” said Lin Xi grimly.
“Yes, every time I fight the Demon Prince, I have determined their level of strength. Although I won't lose a hand against them all, there's only one that can suppress me! Because of their all-power, the Demon Princes were extremely arrogant. Unexpectedly, they even agreed to cooperate just to attack the Saint Continent! If there are two Demon Princes working at all for a long time, it is certain that we will die in this place!” said Lin Ming with a cold face.
“Yes, you're right. If it is like this, we should ask for the help of the other Ancient Clans!” Lin Xi spoke again and directly said she wanted to bring all the Ancient Clans against the Devils. Both of them were well aware that the Ancient Clans would definitely fight the Devils because it was also their duty.
“Kakek.. grandma..there's something I want to ask.” Huan Caiyi who was listening from the beginning spoke.
“What's Caiyi?” Lin Ming who was originally grim, relaxed his seriousness as he looked at the adopted grandson.
“I heard from the Demon General that there are two types of Demon Princes, both living in two Different Worlds, namely the Mortal Demon World and the Eternal Demon World. What does it mean?” Huan Caiyi asked as he was very curious at this moment.
Lin Ming and Lin Xi were silent for a while.
After a moment of silence, Lin Ming let out a long sigh then spoke, “Yes, that is indeed true. The two Realms are very different, the human world also equally has the Mortal Realm and the Eternal Realm.”
“Every cultivator will have the chance to break through the shackles and reach the Eternal level. It could be said, an early-stage Immortal-level power could annihilate a hundred ninth-stage Sage Realm-level cultivators by itself!” said Lin Ming.
Huan Caiyi was extremely shocked when he heard that. But he did not speak and just waited for his grandfather to continue.
“All beings do have a chance to achieve it, but not for cultivators in the Saint Continent! In the main records of every Ancient Clan, it was said that the Saint Continent was sealed and no one could reach the Immortal level if living in the Saint Continent. This was also the reason why so many ninth stage Sage Realm level cultivators were extremely skilled. As I know, every time someone breaks through mortal shackles, they will be instantly banished from the mortal world by force and ascend to the immortal realm!”
“But in the Saint Continent no one has ever been able to do so and this is due to a special Seal. It was also related to all the dangerous places that the Ancient Clans guarded. There are many worlds out there, but only our place is made into a special place. This is because there are so many relics of legendary figures in this world, especially those of the Human Emperor!”
“Just like for the demon world, the world of mortal Devils is very much, it reaches thousands. So many worlds, the entirety of which is ruled by the Seven Demon Princes. They have their own territory. Also, whenever the Devils are crowned as the Mortal Demon Prince, they will lose the chance of ascending to the Eternal Demon Realm.”
“These seven can be said to be immortal because they can live forever even though they can no longer reach a higher cultivation level! Which demon doesn't want that? Immortal Demons would not be able to descend into the Mortal Demon Realm so the Demon Princes would almost never be replaced. The seven of them must be very satisfied with their lives like an emperor who ruled over many Demon Worlds! They attacked many of the Mortal World, expanding their own territory.”
“Among the seven of them, a competition also took place to become the leader of the Seven Demon Princes. This was evident from their assault on all of the Mortal worlds, expanding their respective powers and clashing with the other Demon Princes. This is also the reason why your grandparents dared to guard this place with just the two of us.”
“But now the Seven Demon Princes are cooperating just to attack one mortal world! For just one Demon Prince, his army would reach the combined of the four Ancient Clans. If all seven Demon Prince troops enter the Saint Continent.” Lin Ming stopped his words and his face was extremely grim. This was what he feared from the beginning, namely the cooperation between the Seven Demon Princes. If it was only one of them, Lin Ming was confident that his strength could hold them back from entering the Saint Continent. But for the seven who joined, there was no chance of winning.
This was also the reason why Bai Yi seemed confident in releasing Lin Ming as if seeing him was like a toy that would dance in the Saint Continent to fight the Seven Demon Princes.
Hearing all of his Grandfather's stories, Huan Caiyi sweated a little and knew that the Saint Continent would now experience a disaster that might not be prevented.
