Chapter 385 - 386
At this moment, the Snow Maiden continued, her voice heavy:
"According to the ancient memories in my bloodline, the Demon Clan gathering at such a large scale, at all costs, usually only aims for one purpose..."
"Breaking the seal!"
"Combining with the situation in the Demon Domain, they are likely trying to unite the power of their entire race to forcefully break open the final barrier between the Demon Abyss and the Alternate Space!"
Upon hearing this, Aster Grant’s pupils shrank abruptly, his whole body shook!
A Demon Gate opens, and the influx of Demon Clan already exhausts all forces.
If the Ten Great Demonic Sects were to open, and the Demon God descends...
That would be a true cataclysm!
Aster Grant’s palm clenched tightly!
If the Demon God descends...
It would spell disaster for the Alternate Space.
The Demon Clan would devour all worlds, a fate he discovered back in the Angel World.
If it cannot be prevented, the Demon Clan will devour this world completely.
And most importantly...
He hasn’t fully matured yet.
If the Demon God enters the Alternate Space, his first act might be to settle the score with him.
After all, nearly all Divine Patterns in the Alternate Space are in his possession!
And faced with the hunt by beings surpassing Totem Level...
Sure death with no hope of survival!
At this thought, Aster Grant took a deep breath to quickly calm himself.
The only good news now is that the Demon Clan’s complete invasion still has some time.
He can take advantage of this period to prepare with all his might!
However...
From now on, every second is extraordinarily precious.
Aside from enhancing his own Power...
He must unite all races within the Alternate Space to resist the Demon Clan!
His thoughts raced, and a powerful figure suddenly emerged in his mind...
The Dragon Emperor!
The one who once intervened across space amidst his crisis with the Swarm King, greatly injuring the Swarm King!
His strength is unfathomable, absolutely a presence on the same level as the Ten Great Demon Gods.
If he can persuade the Dragon Clan to act, the strength of The Alliance will see a qualitative leap, vastly increasing their chances of victory.
Head to Dragon Island, seek the Dragon Clan’s aid!
Aster Grant swiftly made a decision.
Yet, while idealism is rich, reality is harsh.
The first step already became a hurdle.
Aster Grant asked around.
Whether Lilith or the Snow Maiden, Angels or Ghost Race, none know the location of Dragon Island.
Although all races in the Alternate Space are aware of Dragon Island’s existence, it seems no one knows its exact location.
While everyone was at a loss, Zane Drake contemplated for a moment and suggested:
"Aster, didn’t you previously save the Oceanic Clan?"
"The Oceanic Clan has resided in the ocean for generations, their understanding of the sea far exceeds us land-dwellers."
"Perhaps... they might know some clues about Dragon Island?"
Upon hearing this, Aster Grant’s eyes lit up!
Indeed, since Dragon Island is referred to as an island, it is likely located somewhere in the vast, boundless ocean.
As the indigenous people of the ocean, the Oceanic Clan is indeed the most probable force to know the whereabouts of Dragon Island.
"Immediately return to the Human Race territory and contact the Oceanic Clan!"
Aster Grant decided resolutely.
Meanwhile, his mind still lingered on that special Little Princess of the Oceanic Clan—Alia.
The system indicates she possesses a mystical and rare Talent of "bringing good fortune."
If such a Talent could affect the entire Alternate Space...
Aster Grant’s eyes flashed with a gleam.
In these moments concerning survival, any factor that might enhance their odds of success is worth attention.
Alia must be kept by his side!
...
Just as Aster Grant decided to return to the Human Race.
In the deepest part of the Demon Domain, a fierce and grand sacrifice ritual was already underway.
Ten towering, ancient, and fearsome Demon Gates stood silently like giant beasts on ground filled with the stench of sulfur.
On the Demon Gates, complex seal runes once shone with a faint golden glow, but now the light had become extremely dim, like candles in the wind.
Before the Demon Gates was an endless, terrifying scene.
Countless Demons, from the lowest and distorted forms to the fierce Monarch Level Demon Lords...
gathered densely, like a black tide, from all corners of the Alternate Space to this place.
They were arranged according to some ancient formation, showing no fear of death, only a fervent madness and devotion akin to sacrificial rites.
"For the arrival of the Demon God!"
"Offer everything!"
The fervent shouts converged into a heart-stopping wave, impacting the space.
At the core of the formation, close to the ten Demon Gates, stood all remaining Totem-level powers of the Demon Clan.
Their auras connected into a wave of terror, oppressively suffocating.
The ritual was presided over by a Totem-level Demon of the strongest aura.
"For the Demon God!"
As these words fell...
All Demons present began to tremble uncontrollably, the Demonic Qi around them grew extremely unstable, boiling, burning!
At the same time, this Totem-level Demon slowly opened his hands.
"With my blood, sacrifice to the Demon Gate, welcome the Demon God!"
Saying so, he suddenly knelt down, and fiercely crashed down.
"Boom—!!!"
It was as if a switch was flipped, triggering a terrifying chain reaction instantaneously!
Beginning from the lowest tier of Demons...
Their bodies ignited like black torches, Demonic Qi and flesh fiercely burning in an eerie black flame.
They transformed into the purest Original Demon Energy, frantically rushing towards the ten Demon Gates!
This sight swiftly spread like a plague.
Demons turned to ash in waves, chanting fervently as they left behind pure torrents of Demonic Qi, advancing relentlessly.
The Monarch Level Demon Lords’ bodies began to disintegrate as they provided even more abundant Demonic Qi.
Even those Totem-level Demon giants began to burn themselves without hesitation!
The heart of the Demon Domain seemed to turn into a giant, reverse swirl.
The countless lives and Powers of the Demon Clan, offered as sacrifices, were voraciously consumed by the ten Demon Gates at the center.
The dim seal runes on the Demon Gates began to flicker intensely under such a massive influx of Demonic Qi, fluctuating wildly!
"Crack... crack-crack..."
A fine yet clearly audible cracking sound began to emanate from the surface of the Demon Gates.
Numerous intricate cracks, like spider webs, quickly spread over those ancient stone gates and the golden runes on them!
The golden glow representing seal and order on the Demon Gates, at a visibly fast pace, thinned and dissipated!
Instead, the increasingly pure, ancient, filled with endless Destruction and chaos, the...
Abyss’s aura!
The gaps in the ten Demon Gates widened, the darkness behind them deepened.
A terror inducing sensation, a pressure impacting the entire Alternate Space, seemed to descend slowly through the expanding gaps...
The opening of the Demon Gates was already set in stone.
