Chapter 245 Demon Race Plan! Tide Of The Abyss!
Chapter 245: Demon Race's Plan! Abyssal Tide!
On the coast of the East Sea.
Runes filled the void, radiating a magnificent and dense light, with divine radiance dancing and reflecting in the void.
A massive city was being constructed in a bustling manner.
Ancient and monstrous creatures flew out from the void, blocking out the sun, dragging behind them enormous celestial gold and precious minerals resembling mountains.
One after another, scorching furnaces were ignited, and a large number of renowned Apex Level artifact refiners and blacksmiths from the South State gathered around the furnaces, focusing intently on the refining process of the materials.
The construction of this divine city had just begun. It had laid its foundation and had a rough outline, suspended in the void, permeated with holy light, already exuding a terrifying aura that made people tremble, as if an ancient demon god about to awaken.
"The temperature of furnace number one is just right, maintain the current state!"
"The attention of puppet number three should be increased, the toughness of Thunderwood cannot withstand such pounding!"
"In the XC area, we need a hundred thousand jin of Nine Radiance Spirit Wood, mobilize it as soon as possible!"
"Formation team, please note that the walls from section thirteen to section thirty-seven in the DC area need to be inscribed with formation patterns, please arrive as soon as possible!"
"... "
It was bustling here, with everyone busy and bustling.
Countless cultivators shuttled through the air above the city, their flowing lights as splendid as fireworks.
Unfortunately, no one had the mood to appreciate such a scene.
Everyone's expressions were serious and anxious, afraid that their actions were not fast enough!
In this newly built Demon Suppression City, there was only one building that had been roughly completed. It was located in the core area of the city, a towering black tower, ancient in shape, pitch black like ink, but with an incredibly magnificent gemstone at the top, like a multi-faceted mirror, emitting a terrifying aura that covered the entire Demon Suppression City.
This was the absolute center of the Demon Suppression City.
According to the blueprint given by the Three Purities Saint Child, all the puppets, formations, devices, and siege weapons in the Demon Suppression City were arranged around this tower.
The black tower had not yet been named.
But everyone knew that the highest point of this tower was currently where the Three Purities Saint Child resided.
...
The Immortal Alliance showed enough attention to Wang Xiu.
In such a shortage of manpower, besides hundreds of young cultivators ready to convey his intentions at any time, there were also six Saints and one Earth Immortal hidden in the surrounding void, protecting him.
It was said to prevent any undercover agents from the Demon Race hidden among the human race from infiltrating and harming him.
This arrangement was not groundless.
During these days, five batches of demon disciples who had been implanted with demonic seeds had already appeared in the Demon Suppression City. They hadn't done anything to Wang Xiu yet, but they were investigating everything in the city, trying to figure out the details of this city.
The construction of the Demon Suppression City was too grand.
It was difficult to hide it from those who were attentive, attracting spies was only natural.
Their concealment technique was extremely clever, even an Astral Projection Almighty would find it difficult to detect any clues.
Even the powerful Saint Manifestation experts, when they casually scanned with their divine senses, would find it difficult to discover their whereabouts.
But fortunately, on the first day Wang Xiu arrived at the Demon Suppression City.
He discussed with the Immortal Alliance and borrowed a [Demon-Scrying Mirror], hanging it at the top of the black tower.
This was the sect-protecting Immortal Weapon of the Profound Secrets Grotto-Heaven, with infinite power.
It could monitor any abnormal conditions inside the Demon Suppression City very well. Although the demonic energy on those demon disciples was extremely weak, it couldn't escape the observation of the Demon-Scrying Mirror.
As soon as those demon disciples entered the Demon Suppression City.
They were immediately captured, and no news was able to be transmitted.
...
At this moment, on the top floor of the black tower.
Wang Xiu sat in the middle of a pile of blank jade talismans, constantly imprinting and drawing runes in the void with his right hand.
Beside his left hand was a basin of fine sand.
As he lightly flicked his fingers, countless grains of sand combined, continuously forming the shape of a city.
If someone observes carefully, they will find that the town demon city, which has been reduced countless times, is actually the complete construction.
However, the model of this "town demon city" is constantly changing, with a different appearance every now and then.
It constantly combines at an astonishing speed, making it difficult for ordinary people to catch with their naked eyes.
"Hiss, what is he doing?" In the void, the strong ones responsible for secretly protecting him whispered to each other.
"He's deducing! He's deducing the development direction of the town demon city!"
"Weren't the blueprints already finalized?"
"That's just the foundation, not detailed enough. Look at the one he just condensed. There are nearly thirty thousand different formations arranged inside the city, with every ten thousand formations converging into a large-scale formation. All the formations gather in one place, forming a huge array that covers the entire city. It's simply ingenious!"
"Why did he give up such an amazing plan?"
"Perhaps he feels it's not good enough..."
In the void, there were sighs from the strong ones, and their thoughts surrounded Wang Xiu, filled with complex meanings.
Suddenly, Wang Xiu's movement paused slightly, and he lightly waved his left hand.
Gravel flew up in the sky, and the models of five town demon cities appeared, simultaneously deducing changes.
Each model's evolution was different.
They even took completely opposite paths.
The changes were so diverse that it made people's eyes dazzled.
"Hiss, this kid's calculation ability is extraordinary!"
"More than extraordinary! Each of his plans is extremely complex and unique. He deduces them simultaneously, and the pressure on his soul is unimaginable!" The strong ones in the void exclaimed, taking a sharp breath.
The town demon city was too vast, and Wang Xiu's plans were too meticulous.
Compared to the previous plan, which was covered by tens of thousands of formations, it was just ordinary. There were many more complex plans than this.
Even if one calmed down and looked at them one by one, it would take a long time.
It's hard to imagine how far Wang Xiu's thinking has reached.
With such madness, can his soul withstand it?
"Brother Su, your Profound Secrets Grotto-Heaven is also famous for puppetry. Why don't you help this kid?" Someone spoke and looked at an old man with white hair beside him.
He was a Saint ancestor of Profound Secrets Grotto-Heaven, who was once a peerless genius and known as the number one puppeteer in the South State.
He had competed with the most famous genius of the Three Purities Immortal Gate Manipulation Lineage for three years without a clear winner.
However, at this moment, the Saint of Profound Secrets Grotto-Heaven had a bitter expression on his face and shook his head, saying, "It's not that I'm deliberately standing by and watching. It's just... I can't intervene!"
When these words came out, everyone was shocked.
He couldn't intervene?
Is it true or false?
The Saint of Profound Secrets Grotto-Heaven smiled bitterly, unable to speak, not knowing where to start.
"I'm ashamed. I have studied the path of puppetry all my life, but only now do I realize that I have gone astray... This kid has embarked on a completely new path, neither the path of the Three Purities Manipulation Lineage nor my path of profound techniques!" He sighed and his words were full of regret.
In other words, he couldn't understand Wang Xiu's path!
The scale was too large, the thinking was too clever, and the skills were too exquisite. He couldn't even keep up with Wang Xiu's thoughts.
"Look!" Suddenly, a Saint exclaimed.
Everyone looked over one after another.
They saw that the model in front of Wang Xiu was constantly changing, directly appearing as ten, then twenty, and even a hundred models.
This virtual space was filled with the "town demon city" constructed by gravel.
Each grain of gravel emitted golden light, extremely mysterious, exuding a grand and ancient aura, constantly changing and ever-changing.
"Is this kid crazy? Simultaneously deducing a hundred different plans?" The Saint of Profound Secrets Grotto-Heaven's eyes were bloodshot, shocked and fearful.
If Wang Xiu were to collapse here, they wouldn't be able to explain it clearly!
"Stop him!"
"Hold on!"
A cold voice rang out.
The saints were all startled, stopping their movements and bowing towards the void.
A graceful figure quietly appeared, with white hair like a waterfall, exquisite features, crystal-clear skin. The temperature around them suddenly dropped, as if frozen.
Snow Ancestor stepped forward slowly, his gaze penetrating through the void and landing on Wang Xiu. "Don't disturb him!"
The saints were speechless, wanting to say something, but seeing Snow Ancestor's expression, they ultimately didn't continue.
The Earth Immortal experts of the Three Purities spoke up, what else could they say?
The next scene.
Shocked everyone even more.
Just when they thought that Wang Xiu had reached his limit while simultaneously deducing a hundred plans for the Demon Suppression City.
Wang Xiu snapped his fingers, and the hundred models instantly turned into a thousand.
Golden gravel covered this void.
Like an ocean.
Then, the thousand models rapidly transformed, evolving into various different plans at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, Wang Xiu's right hand didn't stop, continuously inscribing runes.
"One mind, a thousand uses!"
"Something's not right, this kid's soul strength is astonishing, and his calculation power is even more incredible!" The pupils of the saints contracted, as if they had seen a ghost.
A Nascent Soul stage cultivator, no matter how profound their accumulation, it would be impossible to possess such terrifying soul power and simultaneously perform a hundred complex deductions. Even if he came from the Divination Lineage and was proficient in calculations, it would still be impossible!
...
"Found it!"
Wang Xiu suddenly paused, his eyes shining brightly, as if a magnificent fireworks display had bloomed. Divine radiance burst forth.
Gravel fell from the sky like a meteor shower, surrounding him in a brilliant display.
Only one model of the Demon Suppression City remained suspended, bathed in a misty glow, as if it were a divine city hidden in chaos. Although it was just a model, it made the powerful experts in the void tremble, as if they had seen immortality.
After deducing tens of thousands of plans, this was Wang Xiu's final choice!
And under the current circumstances, it was the limit he could achieve!
Crash!
With a thought from Wang Xiu, countless jade talismans flew up, radiating light as they engraved information.
Then these jade talismans flew out.
They landed outside the Black Tower, caught by the disciples waiting there, and spread out.
The Demon Suppression City suddenly became lively.
Various processes unfolded, bustling with activity.
...
Hmm...
Wang Xiu let out a long breath, his face slightly pale.
Deductions were mentally exhausting.
Especially such a grand deduction, if it weren't for his astonishing soul power and the fact that the Great Principle Supreme Divine Consciousness was naturally adept at multitasking, he would have found it difficult to persist.
To be honest, he was a little anxious.
The construction of the Demon Suppression City was a massive project, and the situation on Sea Demon Island was unclear. It was hard to proceed without being hasty or slow.
That's why he made these seemingly crazy moves.
"Now, all the details of the Demon Suppression City have been planned out, and I have nothing to do!" After resting for a moment and recovering his energy, Wang Xiu slowly opened his eyes, contemplating what to do next.
Suddenly, he thought of something, his mind stirred, and he awakened Gu Ba.
"What do you think about the anomalies on Sea Demon Island?"
Wang Xiu explained the current situation to Gu Ba and asked for his help in analyzing it.
The actions of the demons on Sea Demon Island are extremely strange. Zhuo Canglang and the others have been studying it for many days, but they still can't come up with a reasonable explanation, causing anxiety.
"Now, what day is it?" After listening to Wang Xiu, Gu Ba's expression changed slightly as he asked this question. His remnant soul was trapped by Wang Xiu and without Wang Xiu's permission, he couldn't perceive the outside world.
"The sixth day of September!" Wang Xiu responded.
Gu Ba pondered for a moment, secretly calculating something, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "I know, it's the Abyss Tide!"
"What is that?" Wang Xiu's eyes flickered.
"The celestial timing in the Demon World is different from that of the Ashen Essence World. Every thousand years, when the Greedy Wolf heads north and the Broken Army goes east, there will be an Abyss Tide!" Gu Ba explained in detail.
Wang Xiu learned a lot about the Demon World from Gu Ba, such as how it is divided into eighteen layers of abyss, with the demonic energy becoming denser and the creatures becoming stronger as one goes deeper. The hierarchy of the food chain is distinct.
For cultivators, the ultimate goal is to ascend to the Immortal World and achieve Immortal Transformation.
In the Demon World, however, cultivation is about going downward. The stronger one's power, the deeper they can go.
As long as one can enter the fifteenth layer of the abyss, there is a chance to find a portal leading to the ancestral Demon World.
That is a plane on the same Rank One level as the Immortal World.
Entering the ancestral Demon World is equivalent to the ascension of the human race.
As for the eighteenth layer of the abyss, it is said to have been sealed for countless years and is a forbidden zone.
Even the true demons dare not approach it.
Only when the Demon Emperor is born can one set foot there.
It is said to contain the original power of the abyss in the Demon World, mysterious and unfathomable. Whoever controls it can control the entire Demon World.
The so-called Abyss Tide is a great blessing for the entire Demon World.
Every thousand years, an extremely pure demonic energy emerges from the eighteenth layer of the abyss, permeating the entire abyss of the Demon World.
All creatures touched by this pure demonic energy will have purer bloodlines and even evolve their bloodlines, achieving astonishing breakthroughs.
Pure-blooded demons have the opportunity to become true demons.
And true demons... also have a slim chance of awakening the bloodline of the Heavenly Demon within them.
Even if their bloodline cannot advance.
As long as they refine that strand of demonic energy, their strength will also multiply.
From Gu Ba's narration, it can be seen that every appearance of the Abyss Tide will cause a great upheaval in the Demon World.
Because... the Demon Race can kill other members of their kind and plunder this strand of demonic energy.
"The Abyss Tide can affect Sea Demon Island?" Wang Xiu's pupils contracted as he suddenly realized something.
"If... the City of Origin in Sea Demon Island is still intact, then yes!" Gu Ba said.
When the Demon Race first appeared in the East Sea, they were not as terrifying as they are now.
Because the creatures of the Demon World find it difficult to adapt to a world without demonic energy.
They are suppressed here and their strength is not very strong.
But later, they built the City of Origin, which continuously brings in demonic energy from the abyss of the Demon World, allowing them to exert their full combat power. It is also the core of Sea Demon Island.
During the battle back then, the City of Origin was definitely heavily damaged, which the Three Purities Immortal Gate was well aware of.
But after so many years, it is unknown whether those Demon Race members have repaired the City of Origin.
"It is highly probable that it has been repaired!"
Wang Xiu judged, "Otherwise, the demons on Sea Demon Island would not have recovered so quickly, and there are even Sovereign-level experts who have revived!"
"If that's the case, then it makes sense!" Gu Ba said, "They are waiting for the Abyss Tide, using its power to break through the seal and descend into this world!"
And under the influence of the Abyss Tide!
They may be able to accomplish what they couldn't do back then!
For example—truly taking control of the South State!
