Supreme Astonishment: The Demon King Breaks the Seal and an Emperor Crisis
In the Southern Wasteland, the winds and clouds shifted dramatically.
As news spread that Dongfang Yueming had single-handedly crushed six second-grade sects and forcibly plundered their cultivation techniques, the entire Southern Wasteland of the Crimson Profound World was in an uproar!
"Have you heard? That mysterious young man, wanted by the entire Taibai Sword Sect, actually single-handedly defeated six second-grade sects!"
"He did more than just defeat him! I heard that even the Saint King Realm Valley Master of Raging Sand Valley was instantly killed by him in one move! This kind of terrifying combat power is definitely that of a super powerhouse at the Late-Stage Saint King, or even the Saint King Perfection stage!"
"The Taibai Sword Sect has really bitten off more than they can chew this time, actually provoking such a killing god! I'm quite curious how the Taibai Sword Sect will handle this next."
Teahouses, taverns, sects, and marketplaces—everyone was frantically discussing this prodigy who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, their voices filled with extreme shock and awe.
Taibai Sword Sect, Main Peak Hall.
"Bang!"
The Variants sect leader crushed a jade slip in his hand into powder. His human eyes, which had been disguised so well, now flickered with eerie green demonic fire, filled with horror and unease.
"He crushed six second-tier sects in a row?! Just what kind of monster is this kid?!"
The Variants sect leader felt a chill run down his spine. Although he had possessed the strength of Early-Stage Saint King through possession and transformation, he still felt a deep sense of powerlessness after hearing about such a formidable record.
"This is definitely a huge variable! If he manages to free himself up and actually returns to the Taibai Sword Sect, with my current strength, plus those Nirvana Elders in the sect who are unaware of the situation, we simply won't be able to stop him!"
"We must report this to the master immediately!"
The Variants sect leader hurriedly activated an extremely secretive communication array.
at the same time.
Millions of miles away from the Taibai Sword Sect, in the far west of the Crimson Profound World, lies an abyss shrouded in endless deathly energy and despair.
This is the location of the "Demon Cave No. 1," the highest-level location in the Crimson Profound World!
Back then, the sages who first established these Boundary laid down an unparalleled seal here, powerful enough to slay even emperors.
However, at this moment...
Before that colossal, ten-thousand-foot-tall, sealed gate covered in golden runes.
A tall and imposing man dressed in a purple-gold robe stood silently suspended in mid-air. He did not emanate any magical power, yet the space around him seemed unable to withstand his presence, constantly collapsing and reforming!
He is none other than the terrifying Variants king who infiltrated the upper echelons of the Shangyin Academy and stirred up chaos in the Demon Capital City!
"After thousands of years of planning, today, we can finally reap the rewards."
From the king of the Variants ' pupil-less, eerie green eyes, a frenzied demonic light burst forth.
He slowly raised his right hand.
"Buzz--!"
A terrifying magical power, indescribable in its purity and so powerful that even the entire Abyss Heavenly Dao retreated in fear, burst forth from his palm!
[Emperor Realm]!
This Variants king, which had been lurking for thousands of years, finally broke free from the shackles of the Saint King and stepped into the pinnacle of this world's power system— the Emperor Realm!
"Open it!!!"
It was accompanied by a deafening roar.
That imperial magic, powerful enough to tear stars apart, slammed fiercely into the sealing gate of the Demon Cave No. 1!
"Snap! Snap!"
The golden runes, weathered by countless years, began to flicker and dim wildly under the crushing force, finally letting out a mournful cry of unbearable strain before shattering with a deafening roar!
"BOOM!!!"
The colossal gate, towering ten thousand feet high, slowly opened to both sides.
A jet-black demonic aura, a hundred times more concentrated and evil than that of the Boundary of Demon Capital, surged out from behind the door like a tsunami bursting its banks!
"Roar--!!!"
"Finally free!"
Behind the door, countless enormous ancient alien Variants, exuding terrifying pressure, roared excitedly and ferociously as they surged towards the outside world.
At the forefront of the beast tide, a terrifying demonic figure, the size of a small continent and covered in tentacles, charged out, carrying a weak yet extremely powerful aura of Half-Step Emperor.
This is one of the Variants leaders who was sealed away in the Demon Cave No. 1 back then!
"Hehehe... You broke the seal? Well done, wait until I regain my strength..."
The leader, looking at the Variants king hovering in mid-air, intended to adopt the posture of a superior.
But the next second, its voice stopped abruptly, and extreme terror erupted in those countless eyes!
"Emperor... Emperor Realm?! You actually broke through?!"
"Your mission is over."
The King of the Variants stared at it coldly, without uttering a word, and instantly opened his Royal Domain!
"No!!!"
Amidst the leader's desperate screams, the king of the Variants ' terrifying claws pierced directly through its massive body. But instead of draining it dry as it would other prey, it skillfully and cruelly extracted and compressed the most essential primal magic within its body!
"Ah--!"
The leader's massive body convulsed violently, and was ultimately forcibly refined into a terrifying [Emperor-Grade Heart of the Alien Species] that could even corrupt Emperor Realm!
The king of the Variants clutched the beating heart, his eyes filled with fanaticism and greed.
"With this king-level seed... all those high and mighty old fogies in the Crimson Profound World will become my most loyal servants!"
This is his true, ultimate goal!
He intends to implant the Heart of the Alien Species into the bodies of the emperors and patriarchs of those top-tier super sects! As long as he controls these elite combat forces, the entire Crimson Profound World will surrender without a fight!
Just as the king of the Variants was immersed in ecstasy...
"Buzz."
The communication jade slip in his arms lit up.
After listening to the report from the puppet sect leader of the Taibai Sword Sect, he raised an eyebrow slightly.
"A mysterious young man who has wiped out six second-grade sects in a row? He's suspected to Saint King Perfection level?"
The King of the Variants sneered, his tone revealing a condescending disdain.
Before, he might have been somewhat wary. But now, he is a true emperor!
Below the level of an emperor, all are but ants! Let alone Saint King Perfection, even Half-Step Emperor is nothing more than a slightly larger insect in his eyes.
"Ignore that clown. Even if he attacks the Taibai Sword Sect, he won't cause any trouble."
A cold light gleamed in the eyes of the King of the Variants.
"Go and prepare immediately."
"Today, I will personally visit the forbidden area of the Taibai Sword Sect to meet your Sword Sect's reclusive... [Emperor Ancestor]!"
