"I've arranged for some people to help you. Get ready and set off tomorrow."
Wang Yuanshi waved his hand and said.
Li Ming nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
The next day.
A young man dressed in gleaming black armor arrived as promised. Upon seeing Li Ming, his face was filled with respect, and he cupped his hands in greeting:
"Your Highness, my name is Li Yuanwu."
"Greetings, General Li. No need for formalities."
Li Ming also responded politely.
The other party had an ordinary appearance, but he couldn't hide his murderous aura. He was a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Heaven and Earth Realm, and his strength was not weak.
As a demon-suppressing general, he has quelled numerous demonic calamities within the territory of the Primordial Divine Dynasty. He has also represented the Primordial Divine Dynasty on many occasions to hunt down demons in the Northern Demon Battlefield, and has killed several demons comparable to those at the Heaven and Earth Realm.
He was a hero who made great contributions to the Primordial Divine Dynasty and even the Xuanhuang Realm.
The other party was respectful, not entirely because he wanted to curry favor with him due to his talent, but because he greatly admired the Azure Emperor and naturally extended his affection to Li Ming.
From him, Li Ming also learned a lot about the Northern Region.
In ancient times, an unprecedented demonic calamity broke out in the Northern Region, which then spread and ravaged the world, causing countless deaths and the tragic demise of all races.
Fortunately, the Xuanhuang Emperor turned the tide and set up a demon-sealing formation, splitting the forbidden demon that had caused the calamity into four parts and suppressing them in four different places.
These four places transformed into four demonic abysses.
In the days that followed, many more demonic abysses remained in the Northern Region... These were terrifying demons that were difficult to kill, and even if they were killed, they would be resurrected. In the end, they were simply sealed away, leaving it to future generations to deal with.
Over the long course of history, many great emperors have also reinforced the seal.
Even so, demonic energy often escapes from the Demon Abyss, giving rise to many demons.
Those areas near the Demon Abyss have been transformed into a demonic land, extremely dangerous and teeming with terrifying demons.
Therefore, these places were named the Demon Battlefield.
They frequently send people to clean it up.
A thousand years ago, a great upheaval broke out in a certain demonic abyss, with a large number of demons swarming out. In the end, it was powerfully suppressed by the Human King Palace of the Northern Holy Land.
Unexpectedly, it has erupted again, and the unrest is even greater.
"Logically speaking, the Azure Emperor reinforced the seal many times during his lifetime, so it shouldn't have broken so quickly, right?"
Li Ming suddenly remembered the records about the Green Emperor.
Many ancient texts state that the Green Emperor would bestow additional titles every ten thousand years.
If there were no powerful emperors in the world to oversee this, the forces in the Northern Region could unite and deploy imperial weapons to reinforce the seal.
"The seal of the Demon Abyss may have been deliberately broken by someone."
Li Yuanwu pondered for a moment.
Upon hearing these words, Li Ming frowned; this was the only reasonable explanation.
"I wonder which damned guys dared to break the seal despite the emergence of demons."
Li Yuanwu's eyes were icy cold.
"It's also possible that it wasn't done by people from the Xuanhuang Realm."
Based on what he had just heard and some of his observations, Li Ming made his deductions.
"But the fact that the seal could be loosened suggests there's likely a traitor within the organization."
Li Yuanwu nodded and exclaimed in admiration:
You're right.
Because of this possibility, various forces have joined forces to cleanse the demons of the Northern Region and have sent several top experts to investigate the truth behind the loosening of the Demon Abyss seal.
...
The Northern Region is mostly occupied by humans, while some areas are ancient forbidden zones and dangerous places.
now.
The Sealed Demon Continent, where the Four Great Demon Abysses are located, is a thousand miles outside the capital of the Great Li Dynasty.
There were four terrifying figures standing there.
Although they look no different from humans, their incredibly cold eyes and the dense demonic aura surrounding them reveal their true identities.
This is also why demons are so difficult to eradicate.
Many demons can transform into human form and even conceal their aura, hiding in secular dynasties, making them extremely difficult to detect.
Some cunning demons even forge identities to gather information.
"In the Northern Demon Sealing Continent, there are ninety-eight human kingdoms, gathering countless blood delicacies. Just devouring some of them will be enough for us to advance our strength another step, hahaha..."
One of the demons revealed an evil smile.
Although an ordinary human cannot provide much energy, a few hundred units, even in the millions, are enough to bring them considerable benefits, not to mention that a dynasty would have hundreds of millions.
"The human race has sent many experts. Once they make their move, we won't have such a good opportunity anymore. We need to act quickly."
The demon beside him spoke rather calmly.
The third demon sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? I've investigated thoroughly. These human prodigies generally don't act together in order to compete for fame and fortune. With the four of us joining forces, who are we afraid of?"
"It is said that the number one genius of the human race will also come to the Northern Region. I wonder if I will be able to meet this human. It is said that he has a special physique and is unparalleled throughout the ages. If I can devour him, hehe, I might be able to rise to the top in one step."
A hint of human-like greed flickered in the eyes of the fourth demon.
"Hmph, even if we do run into them, the four of us will enjoy them together."
"Stop talking, let's do it!"
"Um!"
They all nodded, revealing eerie smiles, and then transformed into wisps of black mist, disappearing from the spot like four black shooting stars streaking across the sky.
boom!
The vast capital of the Great Li Dynasty was shrouded in terrifying black mist, which covered the sky and the sun, swallowing all light. The entire city seemed to be covered with a black cloth, and countless people immediately showed panic, not knowing what had happened.
"Demons have invaded! Demons have invaded! Run!"
On the streets, countless people screamed in terror, trying to escape.
However, this black aura not only severed their connection with the outside world, but also left them with no way to ascend to heaven or descend to earth.
Even more despairing is that anyone touched by this black mist will die instantly, turning into a wisp of black smoke.
If someone possesses some martial arts skills, they can resist for a while longer, but after a few seconds, they will lose their humanity and transform into a low-level demon that only knows how to kill, becoming a member of the demon army.
Only a few martial arts experts could sense that terrifying demonic aura, which filled them with despair.
Inside the palace.
Ten Celestial Beings and one Martial God of the Heaven and Earth Realm rushed out, unleashing their powerful blood and energy in an attempt to resist the terrifying invasion of demons.
Unfortunately, this is just a drop in the ocean.
Even the white-haired martial god at the head could only barely protect the people within a ten-mile radius around him.
"Activate the city's protective formation."
One of them shouted.
"Too late..."
The other person clenched his fists and said in frustration.
The demons have entered the city and are preparing to hunt down the billions of living beings within. The reason they haven't been hunted down is simply because they are the last to be eaten.
"Go and inform the Demon Suppression Alliance immediately, even if it costs me my old life... Thirteenth Brother, you come with me."
The white-haired martial god calmed down and decided to force his way out.
The person he called Old Thirteen was the youngest of the ten celestial beings.
"father……"
One of the celestial beings cried out.
It wasn't that he was afraid of death; it was clearly his father who wanted to sacrifice himself so that someone could go out and deliver the message.
This scene also occurred simultaneously in the other three major cities of the Great Li Dynasty, resulting in countless deaths in an instant.
These four demons had long been eyeing this country, knowing that without a sufficiently powerful martial artist to protect it, there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.
