Chapter 2109: Will the Era of Human Demons Return?!
"The cross-realm teleportation formations in the ’Upper Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land can’t send people to the ’Lower Domain’ anymore?"
Upon hearing this news, Wyatt Barnes’s face changed dramatically.
The ’excitement’ in his heart due to his breakthrough in cultivation vanished in an instant!
Perhaps, for most people in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, this news isn’t much of a concern. After all, hardly anyone in the Upper Domain would bother going to the Lower Domain through cross-realm teleportations for no reason.
But, for Wyatt Barnes, the news was like a ’bolt from the blue’!
Simply because his family, his friends, and all his loved ones are in the Lower Domain!
"Could it be that only those few cross-realm teleportation formations in the Upper Domain have issues?"
Wyatt Barnes forced himself to calm down, feeling that this matter was somewhat ’exaggerated.’ Could the teleportation formations connecting the ’Upper Domain’ and the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land just fail like this?
He didn’t believe it.
Only thought that this matter was likely just a rumor.
However, as he wandered through Sin City, the consistent news reaching his ears constantly shook his originally firm belief.
"Could it really be that the cross-realm teleportation formations in the Upper Domain have all malfunctioned?"
At this thought, Wyatt Barnes’s face turned extremely grim.
If he truly couldn’t return from the ’Upper Domain’ to the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, it would mean he would never see his family or his friends ever again.
Just the thought of this made Wyatt Barnes’s heart anxious once more.
"I’ve heard that it’s the ’cross-realm teleportation formations’ in the Lower Domain that are faulty... Our Upper Domain’s cross-realm teleportation formations are all intact. It’s only because the cross-realm teleportation formation in the Lower Domain cannot receive any longer, so our cross-realm teleportations in the Upper Domain cannot be initiated."
"I’ve also heard... from our Upper Domain to the Lower Domain, we rely on the Lower Domain’s teleportation formations for guidance. But from the Lower Domain to the Upper Domain, there’s no need to rely on the Upper Domain’s teleportation formations, and it’s a one-way, random teleportation."
"Now, since the teleportation formations in the Lower Domain have problems... it also means people from the Lower Domain can’t come to the Upper Domain, and people from the Upper Domain can’t go to the Lower Domain."
"In any case, I’ve never thought of going to that backwater place in the Lower Domain, so it doesn’t matter to me whether the Lower Domain teleportation formations have issues or not."
...
Everywhere in Sin City, one could hear similar discussions.
More people adopted a ’not my problem, so why bother’ attitude, as whether they could go from the Upper Domain to the Lower Domain didn’t have much impact on them at all.
However, such discussions were soon crushed by a cruel ’reality’!
"Do you really think that this matter is just as simple as us not being able to go from the Upper Domain to the Lower Domain?"
Soon, an even more shocking rumor spread through ’Sin City’ without any warning, sweeping across the whole city like a hurricane or locusts.
And this shocking rumor spread as a result of discussions among a group of loose cultivators within Sin City:
"If it’s true that the teleportation formations in the Lower Domain have problems, it also means the ’Sealing Formation’ left by our ancestors of the Martial Dao Sacred Land tens of thousands of years ago is also having issues!"
"You ask what that ’Sealing Formation’ from tens of thousands of years ago is?"
"The Sealing Formation is a formation that seals the ’Exile Lands’... To be precise, its existence is to mend the gap on the space barrier between our ’Martial Dao Sacred Land’ and the ’Exile Lands’!"
"What are the Exile Lands? Well, this dates back to the ’Era of Human Demons’ tens of thousands of years ago."
...
The Era of Human Demons.
The Exile Lands.
The Demon Race.
Things that many people didn’t know in the past were now spreading throughout Sin City through the words of some insiders, causing immense panic in the city.
At this time, many then realized:
It turns out that tens of thousands of years ago, the Martial Dao Sacred Land fell into an extremely dark era, which was known as the ’Era of Human Demons.’
In that era, a swarm of Demons from the ’Exile Lands’ rushed into the ’Martial Dao Sacred Land’ through a gap in the space barrier, launching large-scale massacres in which nearly all victims were reduced to dry corpses by the Demons.
Ninety percent of the methods the Demons used to increase their strength involved swallowing other forms of life through the ’Essence Blood Energy,’ thus empowering themselves!
"The Era of Human Demons?"
"The Exile Lands?"
"The Demon Race?"
Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes also learned about the Era of Human Demons, the Exile Lands, and the Demon Race. "Among the Demon Race exist powerful beings, including ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation powerhouses’?"
"And the ’cross-realm teleportation formation’ in the Lower Domain shares the ’defense formation’ built into the Sealing Formation? If the teleportation formation in the Lower Domain is damaged, it also indicates the Sealing Formation has been ruined and can no longer seal the gap on the space barrier between ’Martial Dao Sacred Land’ and the ’Exile Lands’!"
After learning all of this, Wyatt Barnes’s face looked even more unpleasant.
Earlier, upon learning he couldn’t return from the Upper Domain to the Lower Domain, his first thought was that he could never see his family or his friends ever again.
But he wasn’t worried about their safety.
With his father there, with the Mansion of Azure Clouds present, he believed his friends and family would be safe.
But, all this is under the ’premise’ of no demon invasion.
"If that’s really the case... the Demon Race will invade the Martial Dao Sacred Land once again! To be precise, they’ll invade the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!"
"The Martial Dao Sacred Land tens of thousands of years ago had not been divided into two. It was home to many powerhouses, including those at the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’... Yet now, even those at the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’ are as rare as phoenix feathers in the ’Lower Domain’ of the Sacred Land, let alone those above the ’Saint Immortal Realm’!"
"If the Demon Race really invades the ’Lower Domain’... humanity, I’m afraid, won’t leave a single survivor!"
Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes was almost driven to madness!!
His family, his friends, they’re all still in the Lower Domain...
If the demons invade, with their strength, they simply cannot resist!!
"Demon Race, invading our Martial Dao Sacred Land again? The invasion... seems like it’s the ’Lower Domain’? Our ’Upper Domain’, although situated within the Lower Domain and enveloped by it, is actually an independent ’space’, an independent ’plane’!"
"In that case, it seems the Demon Race’s rampage wouldn’t affect us in the Upper Domain?"
"So it seems... I was worried for nothing before. It turns out to be needless worrying."
"If demons invade, the Lower Domain is done for... However, if they really invade, it could mean the teleportation formation to the Lower Domain is destroyed, so demons in the Lower Domain can’t reach us in the Upper Domain."
"I was even planning to visit the Lower Domain recently... Good thing I didn’t, otherwise, it would have been a one-way trip!"
...
At that moment, in various parts of Sin City, voices of wishful thinking started to emerge.
However, it wasn’t long before these voices were drowned out by a harsh piece of news:
"Doesn’t affect us in the Upper Domain? Can’t reach us here? You’re just dreaming!"
"Exactly! Among the Demon Race, there are many at the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’, many formation experts. They can easily repair or set up a new cross-domain teleportation formation in the Lower Domain... When that happens, they can easily invade our Upper Domain!"
"Do you really think there are no personnel among the Demon Race? Naive!"
...
As this harsh news spread, everyone in Sin City felt a pervasive sense of danger, realizing that even staying in the ’Upper Domain’ wasn’t safe.
The Demon Race would sooner or later invade the ’Upper Domain’!
"For now, let’s just hope it’s for some other reason that people in the Upper Domain can’t use the ’cross-domain teleportation formation’ to reach the Lower Domain, and not that the Lower Domain’s formations are destroyed... Otherwise, the Lower Domain will be doomed, and our Upper Domain won’t escape the calamity!"
"The Era of Human Demons... Just thinking about it is terrifying... Let’s hope that era never returns!"
"Those demons are just horrifying to hear about... I don’t want to confront them! If possible, I hope I never see them my entire life."
...
The atmosphere in Sin City gradually became oppressive.
And this oppressive atmosphere quickly spread, sweeping across the land.
As time passed, this matter spread throughout most of the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, leaving everyone in the Upper Domain feeling insecure.
Many people went to various ’cross-domain teleportation formations’, testing if they truly couldn’t return to the ’Lower Domain’.
Among them was ’Wyatt Barnes’.
For a whole month, Wyatt traveled as fast as he could to various ’cross-domain teleportation formations’ around Sin City, even going farther, but he only got the same answer:
The cross-domain teleportation formation indeed couldn’t send people to the ’Lower Domain’ anymore!
"Could it be... Is it really the Lower Domain’s formation that’s malfunctioning?"
"Have the demons really invaded the Lower Domain from the Exile Land again?"
"Will the ’Era of Human Demons’ of tens of thousands of years ago truly reappear?"
In his thoughts, Wyatt’s heart grew heavier, ever more concerned about the safety of his family and friends.
Yet, no matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do!
At this moment, Wyatt felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Elder Fire... Is there really no other way?"
Wyatt asked Elder Fire with a bitter tone.
A few days ago, he had asked Elder Fire if there was a way to return to the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land without using the ’cross-domain teleportation formation’.
And Elder Fire had given him an answer:
Only when he breaks through to the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’, successfully overcoming the tribulation, could he tear through the space barrier between the ’Upper Domain’ and ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land with great power, traversing space to enter the Lower Domain!
However, this was not realistic for him at present.
Not to mention that his current talent root is merely a ’blue root’, even if it were a ’purple root’, it would still require a long time to break through to the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’!
Distant water cannot quench a present thirst!
By that time, there might not be a single living soul left in the Lower Domain!
