Chapter 257: The Outer Demon Clan
That Heavenly Demon Bead had an unprecedented change, and the black power in it had broken through, but this black power did not appear evil, on the contrary, it seemed to be purer than the mana they had cultivated, and it seemed to be closer to the Heavenly Dao.
And although Li Chongguang's cultivation is not the highest among everyone, his feeling for that black power is the strongest and most obvious, and while Li Chongguang feels that black power, he also has some wonderful changes in his body.
This wonderful change is not only related to the inheritance left by the Heavenly Dao Guardian, but also has a great relationship with the Heavenly Demon Lord.
Although the Tongtian Demon Lord only existed in the illusion created by his inner demon tribulation, he left the real thing in Li Chongguang's body, which was also the most terrifying and terrifying place for Li Chongguang, and it also made Li Chongguang feel the horror of the Tongtian Demon Lord.
Although the Tongtian Demon Lord has disappeared, and no one knows where he is for thousands of years, in the heart of the demon tribulation, the words left by the Tongtian Demon Lord are deeply imprinted in Li Chongguang's heart, and he has been worried about it.
The Heavenly Demon Lord said that after a thousand years, he would return again and continue the battle with the Heavenly Dao Guardian for another thousand years. But if the Dao Guardian has completely disappeared into this world today, how can he continue the thousand-year war? This is what Li Chongguang can't figure out the most, could it be that the complete death of the Heavenly Dao Guardian he saw before is just an illusion?
It is difficult to be completely killed by the Heavenly Demon Lord, and perhaps the Heavenly Dao Guardian is not completely dead.
It's just that the ancient secrets of the level of the Heavenly Dao Demon Lord and the Heavenly Dao Guardian are no longer accessible to Li Chongguang, although he is now considered half of the inheritor of the Heavenly Dao Guardian, but he doesn't particularly know about the Heavenly Dao Guardian.
Even Mr. Zhushan and Dong Guoxian have lived for hundreds of years. They are also very unfamiliar with the things of the ancient period, especially about the ancient god war, they don't know so far that the most fundamental reason for the ancient god war is because of the invasion of the outer demons.
And the reason why Li Chongguang knew the real reason for the Ancient God War was still known in that Heart Demon Tribulation, but that time the Heart Demon Tribulation only appeared in the first half-decay tribulation, but did not appear in the second half-decay tribulation, which has always been what Li Chongguang was puzzled about, and his idea of finding the ancient secrets from the heart demon tribulation was also completely shattered.
In the area in Li Chongguang's body that he couldn't even perceive, the power in his body was surging towards that unknown area, and after entering the unknown area, the power in his body disappeared completely, just like the previous situation.
Although he couldn't perceive the situation in that unknown area, he could feel that there was some kind of incredible change in that unknown area, which seemed to be the decay of some kind of power, but it seemed to be mixed with other things, but this situation he had never encountered before, and it might have a lot to do with the Heavenly Dao Guardian and the Heavenly Demon Lord.
However, this change in Li Chongguang only existed in that unknown area, and Li Chongguang couldn't find out the specific details of it, and his attention gradually shifted from which unknown area to that Heavenly Demon Bead again.
After that Heavenly Demon Bead released its power, the entire heaven and earth were eclipsed, and the sky was covered by a black and vast mist, as if it had returned to the scene when the chaos of heaven and earth first opened.
At the same time, in the depths of the Zhongzhou Continent, a huge tremor also began to occur, as if something wanted to break through the ground, similar to the situation that Li Chongguang had encountered in the East Pole Immortal Island before.
It's just that this time the movement has become more powerful, as if the disaster of the end times has come, and the entire Zhongzhou Continent is shrouded in darkness, no longer the scene of the previous fairyland.
That Heavenly Demon Orb seemed to want to unleash all the power it had accumulated over the millennia to unlock something similar to a seal.
Although Li Chongguang didn't feel the existence of any seals, it didn't mean that there were no powerful seals in this place, maybe it was just because his strength was too low compared to the powers of those immortal realms in ancient times.
The ground of the Zhongzhou Continent began to crack inch by inch, and those cracks became bigger and bigger, crisscrossing one after another, densely covering the entire core area where they were located.
From the depths of those cracks, many powerhouses comparable to the realm of heaven and man flew out, but Li Chongguang could not feel any breath of the realm of heaven and man from their bodies, but the momentum comparable to the powerhouses of the realm of heaven and man made them very jealous.
Although these numbers are not particularly large, they are extremely large compared to them, and what makes them feel even more terrible is that these people are actually alive.
The lifespan of Heavenly and Human Realm cultivators is only a few hundred years at most, and it is impossible for them to live from ancient times to the present, and the only reason that can allow them to survive for thousands of years can only be that they have become a member of the demon race.
Only demons will have a longer lifespan. Although the specific lifespan cannot be determined, compared to the Shenzhou Continent under the control of the Heavenly Dao, the lifespan of the Outer Heaven Demon Clan is obviously much longer. It is not a great thing to live for thousands of years, among the demon clan, any cultivator can have a lifespan of hundreds of years.
Due to the absence of the restrictions of the rules of the Heavenly Dao, the Outer Heaven Demon Clan rarely had birth, old age, sickness and death, and even in terms of cultivation, it was more smooth than the cultivators of the Divine Continent.
It was precisely because of the energy released by the Heavenly Demon Bead that the seal set up in the ancient period was broken, and these Outer Heaven Demons hidden deep in the earth were awakened.
Although these Outer Heaven Demon Clans have been sealed for thousands of years, their strength is not as good as before, but they are all strong in the Heavenly and Human Realms, and there are not many of them.
At the beginning, the side of Tianjing Mountain and the Heavenly Court and the Southern Wilderness Demon Beast Empire were still tense, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong, and it was possible to start a big war again at any time.
But when these Outer Demons broke through the seal and reappeared in the world, they realized that the most dangerous moment had just arrived. Their biggest enemies are not each other, but these Outer Demons who really want to invade the Divine Continent.
These Outer Demons have descended on the Shenzhou Continent in ancient times, but in the ancient times, the Divine War was suppressed in the underground body of the Zhongzhou Continent.
In ancient times, as a part of the Shenzhou Continent, the Zhongzhou Continent can be said to be the core area of the entire Shenzhou Continent, and it is also the most prosperous area of the immortal cultivation civilization.
After all, the Zhongzhou Continent is the region with the most prosperous cultivation civilization, and the vast majority of the immortal realm power in the Shenzhou Continent is concentrated.
It's just that during the period of the Ancient God War, those Outer Heaven Demon Clans overestimated their own strength, and also underestimated the power of those immortal realms in the Zhongzhou Continent, especially the existence of Heavenly Dao Guardians.
As the number one powerhouse in the Divine Prefecture Continent, the Heavenly Dao Guardian's strength has surpassed the power of ordinary immortal realms by a large margin. What's more, the Heavenly Dao Guardian still relies on the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Continent, and the Heavenly Dao Guardian also has a Heavenly Dao artifact in his hand.
But even so, the Heavenly Demon Lord and the Heavenly Dao Guardian were basically tied, although it was still a little insufficient, but it was still not much different.
Even in the ancient period, they only knew that these demons came from outside the sky, but they were not their real specific origins, the reason why they were able to defeat was because these demons came from afar and did not have strong logistical support, if not, even if the cultivators of the entire Shenzhou Continent were united, they might not be able to exhaust the power of those demons.
In particular, the power cultivated by those demons is very different from the mana they have cultivated, it seems to be closer to the origin of this world, and it is not within the constraints of the six rules, making the power cultivated by the demons have greater power.
Perhaps the Shenzhou Continent is more stable due to the existence of the rules of the Heavenly Dao, but at the same time, it also restricts the greater development space of the cultivators in the Shenzhou Continent, and there seems to be a natural contradiction between stability and development, although the two can be compromised, but there is no way to promote each other, at least in ancient times.
And now, perhaps because of the ancient god war, the rules of the Heavenly Dao have become even weaker than in the ancient period, so in order to maintain the stability of the entire Divine Continent, the Heavenly Dao rules limit the possibility of cultivators in the Divine Continent to break through to a higher level.
The tense situation between Heavenly Mirror Mountain and Heavenly Court and the Southern Desolate Demon Beast Empire disappeared in an instant, and the two sides changed from a hostile relationship to a wartime cooperative relationship, unanimously facing the outside world, and jointly resisting these Heavenly and Human Realm powerhouses of the Outer Heavenly Demon Clan.
After all, among these Outer Heaven Demon Clans, there are still a few people who can compete with Mr. Zhushan, Mr. Dongguo, and the Gluttonous Demon Venerable, which are comparable to the top powerhouses of the fourth decline of the Heavenly and Human Realm.
The cultivation system of these Outer Heaven Demon Clans is very different from the cultivation system of the Divine Continent, and it is difficult for them to feel the realm of these Outer Heaven Demon Clans through their own perception, and they can only infer from the momentum on their bodies which level they are at.
And after seeing these Outer Heaven Demon Clan, the Eastern Chong'en Holy Emperor also reaffirmed what Li Chongguang said to him before, it is very likely that the Heavenly Demon Lord will return after a thousand years, and what they will greet at that time will be an even greater disaster.
And now the appearance of these Outer Heavenly Demon Clans has undoubtedly confirmed what Li Chongguang said, perhaps the appearance of these Outer Heavenly Demon Clans is a harbinger of the imminent appearance of the Heavenly Demon Lord.
