Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension
Chapter 289 289: Insta-Killing The Demon God

At that moment, Ye Ling's entire body suddenly exploded, splattering black blood all around the altar.

However, the next second, his body suddenly recovered at an inhuman speed, but it could no longer be called a human body by that point.

The cultivators watching all this had their eyes widen in panic and fear.

The Archaic Forbidden Demon God's body began to grow as heavenly thunder rumbled above, his face twisting as several tendrils emerged from his mouth.

Soon, his height exceeded a hundred thousand feet, and with every single one of his movements, the heavenly rules rumbled, yet for some unknown reason, the Heavenly Dao didn't expel him from the Lower Realm.

Terrifying Demonic Energy swirled around him, tearing apart void and shaking the world every second.

At that moment, all living beings within a million mile radius knew.

An Immortal had descended in flesh.

Tian Yun's expression hardened even further, and so did the others' as they stared at the giant silhouette with its back facing them.

He looked exactly the same as those puppets they had previously dealt with.

The difference, of course, was that it wasn't a puppet this time.

It was a real Immortal God, who could destroy them in body and soul with a thought.

They just didn't know what this Immortal was going to do now.

All parties involved held their breaths for a moment, afraid of making even the slightest sound as rain clouds began to gather.

The droplets of rain fell on the cold ground as the Demon God looked around, spreading out his hands.

"After so many years... The Mortal World hasn't changed at all."

He said in his majestic but incomprehensible tone of voice, which was directly translated upon reaching the ears of everyone else.

Cultivators below the Immortal Ascension Realm couldn't help but all feel a chill run down their spine.

"A-ancestor..."

A brave Half Immortal from the Forbidden Demonic Valley stepped forward, bowing respectfully while suppressing the fear in his eyes as he uttered those words.

Hearing his words, the Archaic Forbidden Demon God stood still, slowly turning around as he faced the myriad of cultivators, from righteous path, demonic path, and Demon Race standing below him.

At that moment, seeing Hong Xuanchen and the others, a flicker of something unreadable flashing through his eyes before he looked at the Half Immortal who had just spoken.

"So, you are a descendent of my Forbidden Demonic Valley?"

The Demon God asked, a hint of amusement in his tone.

Hearing his question, the Half Immortal immediately felt acknowledged and confident, sweeping away his fear as he spoke up, "Yes, ancestor. I'm the Grand Elder of this generation's Forbidden Demonic Valley."

The Demon God's expression was unreadable because of his bizarre features, and no one dared to use their Divine Sense to probe it in fear.

However, as an Immortal, he could see through all their thoughts in an instant.

He looked down at the Half Immortal, his gaze slightly hardening.

The next second, the Half Immortal exploded into a blood mist, and his blood, bones, flesh, and soul were all swept over before being consumed by the Demon God.

Everyone's expressions turned to one of pure shock and horror.

"Good, good, good... Alas, that junior wasn't far from breaking through to a higher stage. But it's not a pity, after all, his death served another purpose as well."

The Demond God said casually, making the blood of the people below run cold.

One of the Perfected Half Immortals of the Demon Race below had an ugly expression on his face as he looked up, speaking hastily, "Ancestor... What do you mean by this?"

Just then, the Demon God's gaze landed on him, making him momentarily speechless on fear.

The next second, his body also exploded the same way as his flesh, blood, and soul all flew towards the Demon God before being absorbed by him.

"How dare a mere ant question me? Have the new generations grown so arrogant that they think they can directly question an Immortal?"

The Demon God snorted coldly, like thunder rumbling under a storm, instantly quitening down all the voices that had risen.

No one expected that the Archaic Forbidden Demon God would already be at the level of an Immortal God just after being unsealed.

Even Tian Yun did not have a good expression on his face as he had already sent a message about it to the Sword Venerable.

Just then, the Demon Good looked over at the righteous path cultivators.

"So, this must be the righteous path of this generation... This reminds me of that person who sealed me here.."

He suddenly spoke, causing many righteous path cultivators to be immediately on guard.

Zhu Dong had a strange look in his eyes as the other person said the last sentence. However, his mind remained blank.

He knew that Immortals could read minds, so it was better to not think about anything at all.

"Tell me, why are you all here? I would've come looking for you once I was back to my full strength."

The Demon God laughed sinisterly as he said this, his laughter spreading out to millions of miles.

"However, since you are all here, then there is no need to go back!"

*Whoom!*

A huge Deminic Energy palm covering over ten thousand miles suddenly descended upon the Isle of Heavenly Demons, intending to crush all the righteous path cultivators right there and then.

Just then.

*Swoosh!*

A sword light flashed, vertically splitting the palm into two with supreme Sword Intent until it dissipated into nothingness.

"An Immortal God bullying some Half Immortals and other low level cultivators is truly eye opening. Is this the great Archaic Forbidden Demon God? I had a lot more expectations from you. It's such a shame that I expected too much in the end."

A loud voice suddenly came from the sky, like a ripple in a calm lake as boundless shock appeared among the righteous path cultivators before turning into a source of joy.

They didn't have to die now!

As all eyes turned towards the sky, a figure covered in boundless divine light slowly emerged in the air, holding a divine sword pulsating with terrifying power.

The Demon God's expression shifted slightly, and he instantly became more vigilant upon hearing the voice.

He actually couldn't sense the cultivation base of the person who spoke just now. This was abnormal.

Logically speaking, all beings under the Immortals shouldn't have anything hidden in the eyes of an Immortal, but to be able to cut down his palm strike in half, and now this...

He was sure of it. The other party must be a Vagrant Immortal as well.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng slowly stepped onto the air, sweeping his Divine Sense down, and sensed many presences, some familiar, most unfamiliar.

He had left Dao Marks in various places of the Second Great Mortal World he visited, and there was one near the Eastern Continent's border as well. He used the Enigmatic Godly Stele to quickly rush towards here the moment Tian Yun crushed that jade slip and informed him that the Demon God had appeared.

At this moment, as his Divine Sense spread, he checked the information of multiple people nearby.

There were a lot of people here with unfinished business with him, such as the Great Qin Immortal Family and the Great Tian Immortal Family.

He also caught a glimpse of Tian Zhaojun from the corner of his eyes, and naturally, Qin Ninguang hidden in the flying ship didn't escape his eyes.

However, he had no time for such matters right now. What was the most important was the matter at hand.

Scanning the crowd one last time, he looked over at the Archaic Forbidden Demon God, an indifferent look on his face, as always. The divine light surrounding him dimmed down, allowing others to see his appearance.

"Is that...?"

"The Eternal Lord! It's actually him! I never expected that he would actually be on par with the Archaic Forbidden Demon God!"

"The heavens have not abandoned our righteous path yet, Amitabha."

Tian Yongheng felt countless gazes at him at thus moment, system notifications buzzing in continously about someone developing favorability or hatred towards him. However, his gaze was fixated on the Demon God before him.

"Eternal Lord? So you must be an Immortal as well, just like me. However, this is not my peak strength. Make your choice wisely, for once I recover to my peak, I shall burn this world dow–"

Before the Demon God could even continue, what entered his vision was a massive Sword Qi, continously expanding and rushing towards him without any warning.

Feeling a fatal threat from the Sword Qi, the Demon God hurriedly tried to circulate his Demonic Energy to resist the powerful Sword Qi by using the formation, however, the next instance, the entire formation shattered like glass under the terrifying Sword Qi heading towards him.

Impossible!

Without thinking, the Demon God turned around and ran away, opening a dimensional rift immediately.

However, he was a step too slow.

At that instance, the Sword Qi had already arrived right behind him, and before he could take another step forward, slashed down at him vertically.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment as a thin line of murky black blood appeared on the Demon God's body.

And then...

*Splash!*

His huge body was split in half, falling on either sides, crushing the mountains and hills where it fell.

All cultivators on the Isle of Heavenly Demons at this moment had blank expressions on their face, as if what they'd just witnessed wasn't reality, but a mere dream.

Insta-killed.
