Chapter 531: Descending into the Ruins, Tai Chu Immortal Emperor

It was the Nine Demon Venerables of the Eternal Night Demon Palace!

They had originally been rushing toward the Savage Battlefield with murderous intent to avenge Night Without Trace.

However, upon sensing the aura of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor's awakening, they immediately stopped, knelt in the void, and let out fanatical and respectful roars.

"We welcome Your Majesty the Demon Emperor back to the world!"

Nine Devil Heads at the Great Perfection of the tenth level of the Immortal Emperor realm bowed in unison!

This scene was clearly presented to all the high-level officials through the Water Mirror Secret Techniques of the major Holy Lands.

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Taixu Palace was suppressed to the extreme.

"We cannot just wait here for death!"

Old Man Ku Mu of the Xuantian Sect suddenly stood up, a trace of decisive ruthlessness erupting on his withered face.

"The Eternal Night Demon Emperor has just awakened; his power has not yet returned to its Peak! This is our only chance!"

His gaze swept across everyone present, his voice hoarse yet firm.

"Pass down my decree!"

"In the name of the Spirit Realm Righteous Path Alliance, issue the highest Rank… Devil-Slaying Order to the entire Spirit Realm!"

"Summon all Cultivators of the Immortal King Realm and above in the Spirit Realm, regardless of race or Sect, to assemble at the Chaos Battlefield in the Central Celestial Domain within three days!"

"This battle is not about morality or grudges; it is only for… survival!"

"Those who refuse the summons shall be killed without mercy!"

"Those who desert the front shall have their nine generations executed!"

Old Man Ku Mu's voice, through the Sound-Transmission Immortal Array, transformed into streaks of golden decrees that tore through the void, instantly spreading to every corner of the Spirit Realm.

…

Primordial Immortal Clan, Gu Family.

Within the only remaining ancestral land, an old man with white hair and beard watched as another batch of soul tablets shattered in the ancestral temple, tears streaming down his old face.

When the summoning order arrived, he suddenly wiped away his tears, a monstrous hatred erupting in his eyes.

"Eternal Night Demon Palace… blood debts must be paid in blood!"

"Pass down the order! All sons of the Gu Family, move out in full force! Follow me… to the Chaos Battlefield!"

At the same time, the Gu Family, the Ximen Family, the Ji Family… the few remaining families of the Eight Great Emperor Clans that participated in the Seal of the Demon Emperor back then responded one after another.

Countless Sects that had been hidden for ten thousand years and old monsters sealed away for countless ages also walked out of their respective Immortal Caves.

They all understood that if the nest is overturned, no eggs will remain intact.

If they lose this battle, the entire Spirit Realm will be transformed into demon land, and all living beings will become blood food.

For a time, the entire Spirit Realm was in an uproar.

Countless streaks of light, countless Void Flying Boats, and countless teleportation arrays converged from all directions toward the same destination.

Central Celestial Domain.

There lay a ruin left behind after the ancient war between gods and demons; the Laws were broken, the earth was scorched black, and for hundreds of millions of miles, not a single blade of grass grew.

However, within a mere three days.

This deathly silent ruin was filled with endless figures.

Densely packed Cultivators, like an ocean with no end in sight, gathered here.

Immortal Kings were as common as dogs, and Immortal Emperors walked everywhere.

Millions, even tens of millions of Cultivators, stood on this ancient battlefield with determination and tragedy.

Above their heads was a sky tainted by Devilish Qi, turned dark red.

Ahead of them was the army of the Eternal Night Demon Palace, assembling and emitting a monstrous demonic might.

The largest and most tragic decisive battle in the history of the Spirit Realm was about to begin.

And at the center of this storm, within the abyss of the Savage Battlefield.

Zhou Chen gazed toward the Central Celestial Domain from afar; within his Divine Sense, the monstrous Battle Intent and tragic aura formed by tens of millions of Cultivators were clearly discernible.

"Truly… spectacular."

"Lamentable, sigh-worthy, and respectable."

He sighed softly, but his face remained calm.

Go to the Chaos Battlefield?

Go head-to-head with the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?

He wasn't that stupid.

That kind of place was now a giant meat grinder.

Even an Immortal Emperor might fall if they went in.

Although he was already at the tenth level of the Immortal Emperor realm at Great Perfection and held the Dao Artifact chaos bell, he still had no absolute certainty of victory against a genuine Immortal Emperor.

Moreover, the prophecy on the System panel about the world-destroying giant hand ten thousand years from now was the sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

The Eternal Night Demon Emperor might just be an appetizer.

His gaze swept across the System panel and finally fixed on a piece of information he had ignored for a long time.

[Heavenly Dao Major Event: Five thousand years from now, in the depths of the Chaotic Demon Sea, the ruins of an Ancient Immortal Emperor will appear, containing an Immortal Emperor Legacy and an Immortal Emperor Weapon.]

"Five thousand years…"

The corner of Zhou Chen's mouth curled into a playful arc.

"I can't wait that long."

With a thought, the upgraded [Opportunity Map] function was instantly activated!

In Zhou Chen's Sea of Consciousness, a vast star map encompassing the entire Spirit Realm slowly unfolded.

He poured his majestic Divine Sense of the tenth level Immortal Emperor Great Perfection into it without reservation.

On the star map, countless points of light representing Opportunities flickered like the stars in the sky.

The vast majority were gold or colored points of light, which Zhou Chen ignored directly.

His Divine Sense, like an invincible sharp sword, directly locked onto one of the four major sea regions of the Spirit Realm, the "Chaotic Demon Sea."

The map zoomed in rapidly, and every inch of the Chaotic Demon Sea became crystal clear in his eyes.

Finally, his gaze stopped at a restricted area shrouded by endless spatial storms and Chaos lightning.

That was the deepest part of the Chaotic Demon Sea, the "Return to Ruins Land," where even Immortal Emperors dared not easily set foot.

And at the core of the Return to Ruins Land, a point of light was emitting an unprecedentedly brilliant radiance.

The point of light surpassed nine colors, as if it were the source of ten thousand Daos and the gate to all mysteries.

The label of the light point clearly displayed several ancient characters.

[Tai Chu Immortal Emperor Ruins]

"Found it."

Zhou Chen's heart was calm.

He took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared into the abyss of the Savage Battlefield.

The next moment.

Chaotic Demon Sea, Return to Ruins Land.

Zhou Chen's figure quietly emerged.

As soon as he appeared, the spatial storms strong enough to tear apart an Immortal Emperor's body and the Chaos divine lightning containing world-destroying power surged toward him like sharks smelling blood.

Zhou Chen didn't even lift an eyelid.

Dong!

A melodious bell chime rang out.

The chaos bell hovered above his head, shedding billions of strands of black yellow qi, forming a light screen of absolute defense.

All spatial storms and Chaos divine lightning, upon touching the light screen, were like mud entering the sea, instantly absorbed and refined without even raising a ripple.

"Not bad."

Zhou Chen was very satisfied with the power of the chaos bell after its promotion to a Dao Artifact.

With the chaos bell over him, he strolled through the various perils as if taking a walk in a garden, soon arriving at the core location marked on the map.

Here, it was a void.

No space, no time, only an eternal dead silence.

But in Zhou Chen's eyes, behind this void lay an ancient dimension independent of the Spirit Realm.

"Open."

Zhou Chen's words were Law.

He activated the chaos bell and lightly struck the void ahead.

Crack!
