Chapter 323: The Demon Ravine, Tigers Among The Sheep

“Someone broke the seal?”

Ol’ Amos broke into a slight frown.

“Yes, noble Great God Kroc. The sealing magic circle showed clear signs of tampering, so someone must have broken the seal on their own,” answered the Red-Cloaked Archbishop respectfully.

Ol’ Amos barked coldly, “Have you found the culprit yet?”

Light Continent was his turf. Anyone that dared to create trouble in Light Continent would be going against him.

“At the moment, we haven’t found out who the culprit that broke the seal is yet, noble Great God Kroc.”

Then, the Red-Cloaked Archbishop added fearfully, “But we’re guessing that it’s likely the seven true gods that had previously fled. They are the most suspicious candidates.”

“Those seven fellows?”

Ol’ Amos’ eyes narrowed slightly. He turned to Meng Lei and asked, “Meng Lei, are you able to locate them?”

“Let me try!”

Meng Lei nodded slightly. His divine cognition spread into the surroundings and enveloped the whole Light Continent in no time. The forms of various people flitted by in his mind...

A brief moment later, Meng Lei said, “There are only three true gods in Light Continent at the moment. The other four’s whereabouts are unknown. I can’t find traces of them even in the whole existential plane. They must have already left.”

“Could it really be the four of them?”

Ol’ Amos had an awful look on his countenance.

“It’s actually not important whether or not they are really the culprits.”

A smiling Meng Lei said, “The most pressing issue now is to seal the space-time rift, or alternatively, you might as well eradicate the demons on the other end of the space-time rift. Everything else isn’t that important.”

Eradicate the demons on the other end of the space-time rift?

All the Kroc Holy Sect higher management officers shuddered all over upon hearing his suggestion. After all, no one knew exactly what the demon existential plane was like on the other end of the space-time rift.

However, one could already catch a glimpse or two about the big picture from the demons that had come out of the rift. Judging from those demons, the demon existential plane on the other end must be an extremely fearsome demonic world—because even the weakest of the demons that had emerged from the rift was a Demon Overlord!

Demon Overlords were comparable to Heaven’s Vault Continent’s half-deities. How strong and powerful must a world whose basic lifeforms were Demon Overlords be?

It was unimaginable!

In short, the world on the other end of the space-time rift must be an extremely strong and fearsome one. Eradicating all the demons on the existential plane there?

They dared not even entertain the thought!

Ol’ Amos, however, was extremely in favor of the suggestion. He said, “You’re right. The most pressing issue now is indeed to reseal that space-time rift.”

“Let’s go, then!”

Meng Lei brought along with him everyone present and vanished from where he was. By the time they’d reappeared, they had already arrived in front of a bottomless ravine.

“This is... The Demon Ravine?”

At the sight of the pitch-dark ravine that one couldn’t even see to the bottom of in front of them, blood drained from all the Kroc Holy Sect higher management officers’ faces. Deep reverence filled their eyes as they gazed at Meng Lei.

They had been on the Holy Kroc Mountain just a moment ago, yet they were actually at the Demon Ravine now!

One was right in the center of Light Continent while the other was in the west of Light Continent. A distance of more than a million kilometers laid between the two.

Yet he had crossed a million kilometers with them in tow with just a single teleport? How impressive were his means?

“So, is this where that space-time rift is?”

Ol’ Amos overlooked the pitch-dark Demon Ravine and asked gravely. To be honest, he didn’t actually need to ask because he could also sense a strong demonic aura coming from the ravine’s depths.

“This is the Demon Ravine, Great God Kroc. That space-time rift is located in the depths of the ravine. This is exactly where the demons came out of.”

The same Red-Cloaked Archbishop said respectfully, “To prevent a large-scale surge of demons from the rift, we’ve deployed a great amount of manpower within the Demon Ravine’s vicinity. There they are!”

Ol’ Amos looked over upon hearing his words. True enough, he spotted large numbers of Knights of Light in the ravine’s vicinity. Among them were even a fair number of half-deities and Saint Domain experts. All of them were stationed within the vicinity of Demon Ravine.

“Greetings, noble Great God Kroc!”

A Red-Cloaked Archbishop stationed here flew over and bowed in greeting.

“How’s the state of the space-time rift, Esmond? How many demons have come out of it in total?” asked Ol’ Amos.

“As of last evening, a total of three Demon Overlords have come out of it. They’ve all been slain by us,” answered Esmond, the Red-Cloaked Archbishop hastily.

“Three Demon Overlords!”

Ol’ Amos had a grave look on his countenance. “Looks like the demon existential plane on the other en—”

Whoosh!

A series of shrill whizzes rang out from the deep Demon Ravine at this point.

At the same time, a surging, torrential wave of demonic aura also erupted at the bottom of the ravine.

To deities, demonic aura was just like the stench of cesspits. They instinctively disliked and rejected it. In this instant, upon sensing the demonic aura that had suddenly erupted, everyone broke into frowns in tandem.

“Demons are coming out of the rift!”

Esmond let out a low exclamation. Upon his exclamation, everyone immediately saw several hundred black streaks of light shooting out of the ravine and into the sky above the Demon Ravine!

Boom!

A vast, mighty demonic aura instantly weighed down on everyone’s hearts. Unable to put up any resistance, the Knights of Lights stationed at the Demon Ravine fell onto their knees.

Even the expressions of half-deity experts like Esmond and Amolin also changed greatly, and they watched the sight above them with looks of fear and alarm.

“Great Demon Lords!”

“There are definitely Great Demon Lords among them!”

“Great Demon Lords?”

Meng Lei shook his head lightly. It didn’t stop at just Great Demon Lords; there were even Demon Gods among them. On top of that, one of them had even reached the pinnacle of Demon God-level!

Demon Gods were the equivalent of intermediate deities!

Several hundred demons floated in the sky, overlooking everyone from a high and lofty position.

There were Fire Demons bathed in flames, Ice Demons that emanated bitter and chilly air, Trolls that stood 1,000-feet-tall, as well as a chaotic mix of Bloodseekers, Wind Demons, Sloth Demons, Longhorned Demons...

The demon species mix was very messy and random, but they all had one thing in common—the aura around every single one of them was extremely powerful. Even the weakest among them was a Demon Overlord. However, the vast majority of them were Demon Lords and Great Demon Lords instead, and they boasted fairly fearsome strength!

“So, is this the world on the other end of the space-time rift?”

A big and fat youth dressed in black armor swept his gaze across the surroundings. A hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes as he remarked, “So, it’s just a low-end mortal existential plane. All that joy had been for nothing.”

A Fire Demon beside him licked its lips, bowed, and said, “Lord Demon God, your lowly subordinate would like to request to flatten this low-end mortal existential plane!”

“How can such a heavy responsibility be left to you alone? Lord Demon God, your lowly subordinate here would like to request for that, too!”

“Lord Demon God...”

The other demons clambered to be the first and fought against one another, lest all the good things went to someone else if they were even a step too slow.

“What are all of you clamoring about? You good-for-nothings!”

The fat youth snorted and said, “The same old rules apply. Leave all the creatures that are Demon Lord-level and above for me. Don’t any of you dare think of taking them! As for the others, all of you can do whatever you want with them!”

“Yes, Lord Demon God!”

“We’ll kill those guys first!”

“Kakaka! Delicious blood and souls sure make one salivate! Here I come!”

The bunch of demons let out a cheer, and then they lunged toward Meng Lei and the rest straight away.

Drool dripped from every one of their mouths, and all their eyes were gleaming, making them look just like hungry wolves that had been starving for a few years.

“T-they’re here!!”

“Fight them! Hurry and fight them!”

Everyone was so frightened by the sight of the several hundred demons lunging toward them that they became panic-stricken. They could only fight back in a flustered manner, but the demons simply moved too fast.

Without waiting for the Knights of Light and the half-deity experts to get into formation, they had already flown into the masses of humans like tigers rushing into a herd of sheep. They were all prepared to launch a large-scale massacre.

“Hmph!”
