Chapter 1105 Demonic Calamity
Under the threat of the demonic calamity, all living beings in the spirit world felt uneasy. Every intelligent being understood that a cataclysmic disaster would occur in twenty years, affecting the entire spirit world.

Some anxious and fearful creatures even began to dive into the sea and build caves to hide in, trying to escape this catastrophic disaster.

Some powerful individuals who originally intended to flee to the Tianyuan Continent for refuge abandoned their plans after realizing that the Tianyuan Continent might also be affected by the demonic calamity.

However, many people from the outer seas still traveled to the Tianyuan Continent, choosing to join the human race in order to receive the protection of the Great Ascension stage Celestial Venerable.

The Dao Palace naturally did not refuse this offer, and even allocated many vacant territories for these overseas cultivators to use as dwellings or cities.

With the impending calamity of demons, having more manpower is always a good thing, since no one knows what will happen in twenty years.

The native human cultivators of Tianyuan Continent naturally felt quite repulsed by these newly joined members of their race, and even looked down on this behavior.

Dao Palace, however, did little in this regard. After all, once they went through a great calamity together and faced a common enemy, this xenophobic attitude would ease in the shortest amount of time.

Because of their worries about the demonic calamity, the past twenty years have passed extremely slowly; clearly, for a high-level cultivator, it would only be a fleeting moment.

But what's coming will come eventually, and it won't change because of anyone's fear.

As the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Spirit Realm trembled violently, the spiritual energy in the air was suppressed to an extremely high degree, and the demonic calamity finally descended.

This will be the greatest disaster the spirit world has ever experienced. Later generations will call this extremely brutal war the Chaos War!

boom!
The sky above the spirit realm suddenly darkened, signifying its beginning of merging with the demon realm. One stable spatial channel after another connected, eventually expanding outwards, and billowing demonic energy raged across the heavens and earth.

However, the spiritual realm is at an extremely high level, and it repels and purifies the surging demonic energy that naturally seeps in.

This is the merging of the two realms, where a large number of stable connection channels will appear between the two interfaces, and some of these channels will merge, thus forming a battlefield between the two realms!
In the past, wars between the two realms would at most break out on one or two continents of the Spirit Realm, but this time it's different. Passages connecting to the Demon Realm have appeared in the skies above every continent of the Spirit Realm, and even many seas have been torn open by rifts to the Demon Realm!
The demon realm's massive offensive has officially begun!

On the Tianyuan Continent, spatial nodes scattered throughout the continent were connected one after another, quickly forming stable channels.

There are seventeen such spatial passages, and there is only one in the vast territory of the human race! This is extremely bad news. All the human cultivators are almost suffocating. The hideous and dazzling passage between the two worlds is constantly spewing out thick, cloud-like primordial demonic energy, polluting the surrounding world into a demonic land.

Immediately afterwards, one ferocious magical beast after another was released from the spatial passage.

"Ow!"

A deafening roar resounded as each of these demonic beasts that had crossed over from another realm possessed at least the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, with many powerful demonic beasts even reaching the Void Refinement stage.

But even such a terrifyingly powerful monster was used as cannon fodder and was directly sent over.

Rumble!
In a short time, tens of thousands of powerful magical beasts descended, each one shrouded in dense demonic energy. As soon as they landed, these beasts surged in all directions.

The Dao Palace reacted quite quickly. Upon learning that a passage between the two worlds had opened within the human territory, they immediately mobilized a large number of human cultivators to defend against it. The first to set off were the array masters, who planned to set up an unparalleled array near the passage between the two worlds to resist the attack from the Demon Realm.

"Kill! Don't let any of these magical beasts escape!"

"Clear the area as soon as possible to give the array masters room to set up their arrays!"

"Don't be afraid, they are just some mindless magical beasts and pose no threat."

Under the command of the Dao Palace cultivators, team after team of cultivators began to seal off the area, intending to surround and kill these tens of thousands of demonic beasts.

Among them were many powerful cultivators at the Integration Stage leading the team, and the initial defense work went very smoothly, preventing any magical beast from escaping.

But with a deafening explosion, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse!

These mindless monsters have started to self-destruct!

Boom! Boom!
The self-destruction of the first monster was like lighting a fuse, triggering a chain reaction that caused the tens of thousands of monsters that had been released to explode all at once.

"No, run away!"

The self-destruction of tens of thousands of magical beasts at the Nascent Soul stage and above directly created a devastating storm of demonic energy that swept across the land.

At this critical moment, an old, withered hand descended from the sky, and the extremely pure spiritual power within its palm instantly dispersed, dispelling the terrifying storm of demonic energy.

Taiyuan Tianzun intervened in time, managing to save all the human cultivators present.

As these human cultivators who had survived the calamity were preparing to express their gratitude to the Heavenly Venerable, they soon discovered that the spatial passage had suddenly expanded several times in size, and an even denser concentration of primordial demonic energy was seeping in from the other side.

That's not the most important thing. At the other end of the passage, footsteps slowly sounded, indicating that an unknown forbidden being was about to cross over. This was at least a Saint Ancestor level expert, otherwise the sound of footsteps alone would not have been able to affect this world.

boom!
Taiyuan Tianzun appeared, his aged face gazing solemnly at the other end of the passage.

"You all should evacuate first."

"As ordered!"

The human cultivators commanded by these Dao Palaces were all very efficient and evacuated the scene immediately, because they could not stand by and watch the great battle that was about to begin.

Before long, a figure draped in a dark purple cloak stepped out from the other end of the passage. Its face was obscured, with only two purple pupils emanating from them. This unknown being extended a hand from the cloak, holding a white bone scepter.

Taiyuan Tianzun said in a deep voice, "A demonic sorcerer? A demonic sorcerer who has cultivated to the Mahayana stage is truly rare."

The demonic sorcerer in the Mahayana stage didn't say much. He raised his white bone scepter high, and a purplish-black light burst forth from within his cloak.

The next moment, the monster corpses that had exploded on the ground disappeared into the earth, and then black demon flame trees grew out of them!

"You're courting death!" Taiyuan Tianzun's eyes turned cold instantly. He threw a punch at the Mahayana stage demon sorcerer, and the domineering fist shadow covered the sky and destroyed all the demon flame trees growing along the way.

However, this demonic sorcerer had no intention of fighting Taiyuan Tianzun. Instead, he retreated back into the spatial passage, avoiding Taiyuan Tianzun's terrifying punch.

"Hahahaha, Human Celestial Venerable, your opponent is me."

Immediately afterwards, a wildly arrogant laugh echoed from within the spatial passage, and a huge hunchbacked figure stepped out of the passage.

Another powerful figure at the Mahayana stage, this was a genuine Demon Realm Saint Ancestor, known in the Demon Realm as the Demon Hand Saint Ancestor. "The Demon Hand Clan?" Taiyuan Heavenly Venerable looked at the figure with a crimson and unusually large arm with some apprehension. He knew a little about this Demon Realm race; this clan was born with a cursed arm, sealing within it the power of a powerful demon god, which, once released, could unleash extremely formidable power.

After the Holy Ancestor of the Demon Hand Clan descended upon this world, the sky suddenly darkened. His presence directly affected the celestial phenomena, and endless gales began to blow.

A great battle broke out immediately. Taiyuan Tianzun could not allow a demonic ancestor to run rampant in the human territory and had to stop him.

Both sides used their full strength, and an area of ​​over 100,000 square miles was almost destroyed. Such a scene was caused in just the initial exchange, and it is unimaginable what would happen if it continued.

The Demon Hand Clan seemed unwilling to let the newly grown Demon Flame Tree be destroyed, so they took the initiative to fly towards the outer void. Their figure stirred up endless demonic energy, and they were as mighty as a demon lord going to war.

Taiyuan Tianzun quickly understood the other party's intention. He looked down at the earth and saw that these Demon Flame Trees had extremely strong vitality. Although the aftershocks of the battle had destroyed most of the Demon Trees, the Demon Flames burning on their crowns spread across the earth and actually caused more Demon Flame Trees to grow back!

Given time, this place will surely become a demonic land, a paradise for ancient demons.

Even though he saw through the clues, Taiyuan Tianzun had no choice but to enter the void to fight. The aftershocks of the battle between the two Mahayana stage experts could, in the long run, destroy the territory on which the human race depended for survival, which was not the result he wanted to see.

Soon, as Taiyuan Tianzun disappeared into the void, the commotion in the world subsided once again.

However, such peace is destined not to last long. As long as the demon realm passage remains, ancient demons will continue to descend.

Sure enough, not long after, groups of powerful members of the Demon Hand Clan emerged from the spatial passage once again. They rode ferocious and savage demonic beasts and wielded sinister magical artifacts, rampaging across the human territory.

The Dao Palace once again mobilized cultivators from all over the world to wipe out the attacking ancient demons. At this critical time, the entire human race no longer had any factional or sectarian distinctions and had to obey the Dao Palace's orders, even the True Spirit Families were no exception.

Such events are not limited to the human race; sixteen other such spatial passages have opened on the Tianyuan Continent, plunging every powerful race into endless battles.

Li Qing, who was in the Refining Heaven Pavilion, looked up at the sky. His gaze swept across the endless distance and focused on the spatial passage that opened in the human race's territory. He remained silent for a long time.

Not long after, a transfer order came from within the Dao Palace.

"Several ancient demons at the Integration stage have fled into the void, seemingly heading towards the eastern border of the human race."

Li Qing did not expect that the Dao Palace would be short of manpower so early in the war. Even the weapon refiners of the Refining Heaven Pavilion were conscripted to deal with the attacking ancient demons.

Star River City and Refining Heaven Pavilion are located in the eastern territory of the human race, and Li Qing, who is stationed in the pavilion, has no reason not to take action.

"I am going to exterminate the demon. You all stay in the hall and remember not to go out easily."

After saying that, Li Qing's figure transformed into a silver streak of light and vanished into the void.

Inside the Wuji Hall, his disciples all clasped their hands and said, "Take care, Master!"

As soon as he flew out of the Refining Heaven Pavilion, Li Qing kept his divine sense outward. Since he had cultivated his physical body to the peak of the Integration Stage, Li Qing had been nourishing and refining his divine soul over the years, constantly comprehending and cultivating the "Soul Refining Scripture".

Now his soul is extremely powerful, even surpassing the level of the perfected Integration Stage, but it is still far from that supreme realm.

A strong spiritual sense is very important for a cultivator like him who possesses many heaven-reaching spiritual treasures. This means that he can not only have a spiritual sense far exceeding that of cultivators of the same level, but also use multiple heaven-reaching spiritual treasures at the same time without running out of energy.

Soon, Li Qing sensed an unusual fluctuation in the world, where the spiritual energy was suppressed, as if it were being repelled in some way.

call out!
In almost an instant, Li Qing arrived at the place where the anomaly was.

This is a spirit gold mining area with extremely rich mineral deposits. Every year, a huge amount of spirit gold ore can be mined from it, which is extremely important to the Refining Heaven Pavilion.

Li Qing's divine sense swept over it, and his face quickly darkened.

"We arrived too late; the spirit miners here have already been robbed."

Numerous mines are intertwined and continuous. In the depths of those dark and secluded mines, almost all the spirit miners died violently in the dark and sunless mines. The culprit was none other than the seven-headed ancient demon in the Integration Stage.

These seven ancient demons planted a large number of demonic flame trees in this mining area, intending to completely pollute the spirit gold veins here and turn them into their own.

"The human forces have already provided support so quickly. Their divine sense is very powerful, but there's only one of them."

"Kill them quickly. The rich mineral resources here cannot be lost. It would be a waste to leave them to these humans."

boom!
Soon, two members of the Demon Hand Clan appeared out of nowhere and attacked Li Qing simultaneously.

Li Qing showed no mercy and unleashed his killing sword. Two golden sword lights flashed by, and the two ancient demons of the Demon Hand Clan who were at the Fusion Stage perished!
Having so swiftly and decisively dealt with his two kin, the remaining five ancient demons immediately realized that this human was no ordinary being, but rather a menacing figure.

"Let's do it together!"

But it was too late. With Li Qing's current strength, killing a few ancient demons of the same level wouldn't be too difficult. He summoned the Azure Bell and unleashed endless bell waves to suppress the five ancient demons at the same time.

However, he did not immediately take the lives of the five ancient demons. Instead, he pointed a finger, and the sea of ​​consciousness of the five ancient demons was broken open in an instant, and the primordial spirits of the five ancient demons were thus extracted by him.

"Tell me, why is the Demon Realm launching a large-scale invasion of the Spirit Realm this time?" Li Qing asked coldly.

"Don't even think about it."

Before one of the ancient demons could finish speaking, Li Qing crushed its primordial spirit and then extracted the remaining memory fragments from its sea of ​​consciousness.

This process was repeated until all five ancient demons perished at his hands, ending up utterly destroyed, body and soul.

He extracted many memory fragments from the consciousness of these ancient demons, including some of the current basic situation of the demon realm, as well as the demonic arts and secret techniques they practiced.

Li Qing also learned about the origins of these Demon Flame Trees. These Demon Flame Trees had extremely vigorous vitality and could even devour spiritual energy to produce primordial demonic energy. These powerful figures from the Demon Realm planted Demon Flame Trees everywhere in order to create a more advantageous battlefield in the future.

As for the reason for the invasion of the Demon Realm that Li Qing most wanted to know, he did not know. He only knew that it was a joint decision made by several Demon Realm ancestors.
