Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3995: The Dungeon Demon God
Previously on Chaotic Sword God...
The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor harbored an incredibly strong determination to seize Jian Chen’s Source of Life. Despite holding an esteemed position as a mighty heavenly emperor, he had descended personally to the Reverent Observance Heaven, dedicating immense effort to scrutinize every individual.
Such an undertaking was exceptionally rare.
In truth, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor was also deeply vexed. This was not his preference, but he found himself with no alternative. Jian Chen's skill in concealing his presence and whereabouts was far too potent. All his divinatory techniques proved futile against him, and he couldn't even detect him with a heavenly emperor's soul sense. The only method he could conceive of to see through the disguise was through direct observation with his own eyes.
Consequently, he was compelled to limit his search area to the Violet Heavens Sword Region. Expanding the range further would render him powerless.
At this precise juncture, a crimson mark suddenly flickered upon the forehead of the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, who remained concealed beneath his cloak.
“Oh no!” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s countenance shifted dramatically, darkening instantly.
In the subsequent moment, an overwhelmingly potent demon Qi manifested beyond the Reverent Observance Heaven, coalescing into roiling black clouds that obscured the entire realm. Instantly, the entirety of the Reverent Observance Heaven was plunged into darkness. The terrifying demon Qi suffocated the sky, extinguishing all light, creating an atmosphere akin to the world's end.
Within the Violet Heavens Sword Region, the red imprint on the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s forehead continued its frantic flashing. His expression grew grim as he fixed his gaze upon a specific point amidst the shadowy expanse.
The various Immortal Exalts ascended into the firmament across the Reverent Observance Heaven, their eyes fixed sternly upon the darkened sky. Deep within the oppressive demon Qi, they sensed a stifling pressure.“Another supreme expert of unparalleled cultivation has arrived. Alas, the Reverent Observance Heaven grows ever more tumultuous with each passing day,” commented Jiang Pingtian from above the city lord’s estate in Observance Heaven City, emitting a heavy sigh.
“The Dungeon Demon God stands as the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s archenemy, their fated nemesis. It will prove exceedingly challenging for the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor to await Jian Chen’s appearance in the Reverent Observance Heaven now,” mused the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, observing through space from within his miniature world in Observance Heaven City.
The vice pavilion master, Liao Chen, materialized, his demeanor exceptionally grave. “Pavilion Master, can the Dungeon Demon God truly occupy the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor? This is, after all, the Immortals’ World, and there exist ancient recluses who have never revealed themselves, holding significant animosity towards the Demons’ World.”
“Rest assured, the Dungeon Demon God has arrived with the express purpose of confronting the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor. A Grand Exalt bore witness to their prior encounter; no one can intervene,” the pavilion master affirmed.
Beyond the confines of the Reverent Observance Heaven, a gigantic figure materialized within the unfathomable demon Qi, standing millions of meters tall, like a colossal planet.
“Hahahaha, old Soaring Immortal, why are you loitering in the Reverent Observance Heaven instead of guarding your home base, the Immortal Feather Sect? You’ve even gone to such lengths to disguise yourself, lurking like a phantom, as though you fear discovery.”
“Such a mighty heavenly emperor, resorting to stealth and disguise. It is highly probable that not a single one of the countless experts within the Reverent Observance Heaven is aware that a heavenly emperor has actually infiltrated the Violet Heavens Sword Region…”
A gruff voice echoed from beyond the Reverent Observance Heaven, its resonance permeating the entire celestial expanse. Furthermore, an unusual power accompanied the voice, influencing the spiritual Qi of the heavens, causing it to collide violently and generate thunderous roars.
This indicated an expert on par with the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor. Before such a formidable being, any utterance or motion could profoundly impact the very order of the cosmos. As the voice resounded, the Reverent Observance Heaven erupted into chaos, the revealed information being far too earth-shattering. How revered was a heavenly emperor? Yet, one had apparently arrived in the Reverent Observance Heaven undetected, astonishing the myriad experts present.
Within the Violet Heavens Sword Region, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, still swathed in his concealing cloak, displayed an exceedingly grim expression. Surging waves of killing intent emanated from his eyes.
A scarlet mark pulsed with amplified brilliance upon his brow. Within the imprint's depths, it faintly appeared as though a sphere of unadulterated demon Qi surged.
In a swift instant, he vanished from the Reverent Observance Heaven, reappearing directly amidst the enveloping demonic miasma.
“Dungeon Demon God, the fated hour for our confrontation has not yet dawned. Your presence in the Immortals’ World is ill-advised; return to your own Demons’ World forthwith,” the robed Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s voice boomed with a deep growl.
“Hahahaha, we were originally one, so why this unnecessary division? If you are permitted to reside in the Immortals’ World, then so am I,” the Dungeon Demon God’s defiant laughter echoed from the sky-obscuring demonic Qi.
“Your very existence is the gravest source of my shame. When our prophesied battle arrives, I vow to eradicate you with my own hands. Every accomplishment you possess shall become mine, solidifying my ascent to the absolute peak,” the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor declared with frigid intent.
“You harbor excessive confidence. I am privy to all your capabilities. When our destined clash occurs, the victor remains uncertain,” the Dungeon Demon God chuckled. “However, I perceive my prospects for triumph as somewhat more favorable. Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, by the time we face each other, it will undoubtedly be you who perishes, for you already lack the resolve to advance fearlessly when confronted by death itself.”
“You have started to harbor dread. You fear the loss of all you currently possess. It is precisely this fear that compels you to pursue every conceivable method to augment your strength, leading you to conceal yourself within the Reverent Observance Heaven. You seek to pilfer the destiny of a junior, despite being a formidable Heavenly Emperor, solely to gain an advantage in our future engagement…”
Holding nothing back, the Dungeon Demon God openly articulated the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s true ambitions. His resonant voice, like crashing thunder, permeated every corner of the Reverent Observance Heaven.
A ripple of unease passed through the visages of numerous experts present on the Reverent Observance Heaven. Particularly, the hearts of many Immortal Exalts, who had also arrived seeking the sovereign god artifact, grew heavy.
The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor was consumed by a trembling rage. Concealing himself within the Sword Region of Violet Heavens, awaiting the arrival of a mere junior Immortal Emperor, was hardly a matter for pride. Should this incident become public knowledge, his reputation would suffer irreparable damage. Now, exposed by the Dungeon Demon God, this deeply embarrassing secret he had desperately tried to conceal left him utterly humiliated.
“Dungeon Demon God, you court death!” The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor could endure no more. With a furious roar, he unleashed the overwhelming might of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, striking directly at his adversary.
Instantly, a cataclysmic force tore through the very fabric of the world. A fissure even manifested within the demonic Qi blanketing the entire Reverent Observance Heaven, and the surrounding space warped and collapsed.
“Hahahaha, you’ve lost your composure so readily? Old man Soaring Immortal, your defeat in our fated battle is irrevocably sealed,” the Dungeon Demon God guffawed. Shortly thereafter, the expansive demonic Qi rapidly condensed, finally resolving into a figure of normal proportions. This entity emanated a terrifying, chilling aura as it plunged into a ferocious engagement with the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor.
