Chapter 708 - Demon Territory

Chapter 708: Demon Territory

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Monger World was constructed of many layers. The core was the Main Plane, while the God World and Netherworld were two large pillars.

Currently, in the center of the Main Plane, the originally most important country of human civilization.

Boundless... desolation.....

This originally bustling territory had already completely transformed into a wasteland after being endlessly damaged by the Evil Demons and natural disasters.

The ground was split wide open and the original city had become ruins. Bluish yellow weeds were growing everywhere.

Occasionally, there were Evil Demons roaming about, hunting and killing everything around them.

This was originally the territory of the Celtic Empire, a huge nation that was regarded as one the top five among the human powers.

However, it was now instead filled with a deathly stillness.

Furthermore, if someone dug up the soil beside the roads, they could even find bones of the dead, sufficient to cause anyone to shudder in fear.

“The sky... has become a little darker!”

Among the ruins, a shadowy figure seemed to have died, staying motionless, even occasionally deceiving some of the Evil Demons that passed by.

At this time, he finally exposed a pair of bright eyes.

Sean raised his head and looked toward the sky, realizing that the white clouds of the blue sky had disappeared sometime ago, leaving behind only dense, dark, stormy clouds.

“Ever since those damned Evil Demons came, even the sky’s changed,” Sean mumbled, his gaze having some recollection.

The blue sky, those pure white clouds, and that golden yellow cornfield carrying a bountiful harvest...

Not long ago, this place was the huge city of an empire, innumerable businessmen and adventurers arriving from all over daily to pursue fortunes and dreams.

However, everything then had already dispersed with the winds and flames of the Evil Demons.

Only suffering and death continued to surround this land.

“It seems that... these dark clouds are getting darker and darker. If this continues, we won’t be able to distinguish between day and night... But now, my most important task is to bring back food!”

He looked at the stiff hair mouse in his hands and swallowed his saliva.

Although this mouse’s meat was smelly, hard, and tasted terrible, it was food that was difficult to come by.

On this land, getting food was already becoming harder and harder.

However, as long as it did not reach complete desolation, humans could still struggle and seek livelihood in all kinds of environments.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Sean was seized with terror.

In his eyes, the dark clouds suddenly started burning, becoming a blazing inferno!

Not only that, even the ground started becoming slightly hot, as if he was on a volcano.

Crack! Kaboom!

Flames danced vigorously, and while the ground was shaking, cracks resembling spiderwebs appeared as reddish orange magma surged forth from within and transformed into a current.

The environment was starting to change slowly but steadily into a scorching hot hell.

A Netherworld stream appeared and absorbed the surrounding dead spirits, transforming them into many grotesque and disgusting worms.

The worms swallowed each other, and not long later, a small Evil Demon appeared.

“This place is starting to give birth to Evil Demons?”

Sean’s limbs became weak. He could subtly sense that a horrifying change was beginning here.

He suddenly stood up and turned to run. “No choice... no matter how difficult it is, I have to tell Gore and the others that we have to relocate! This hell... has already become a paradise of the Evil Demons and no longer suitable for humans to live in!”

The Purgatory was currently affecting the Main World!

This was a very horrifying change. Through transforming the environment, the Main Plane was turning into a huge Purgatory!

Only the special nature of origin power could do something like this!

The longer this dragged on, the greater the change. Furthermore, it could not be reversed!

Previously, under Fang Yuan’s will, the Master of the Nine Tier Purgatory, it had always been influenced subtly.

However, with his decision this time, real horror was about to descend into the world!

“Ah!” Sean screamed and looked at his feet. A large clump of white fumes was emitting there.

The ground had already become as scorching hot as a red-hot iron plate and not at all suitable for ordinary people to survive in..

He gritted his teeth, made great effort to support himself, prevented himself from falling, and walked a few steps. A burned barbecue smell came from the bottom of his feet.

“There’s someone here!”

But this abnormality further caused him to be exposed.

An Evil Demon with its entire body wrapped in flames descended from the sky with a euphoric look. It quickly raised its giant hands and pulled Sean upward, throwing him into a small cluster of Evil Demons.

“Eat! The more you eat, the faster you grow! Us Evil Demons are eventually going to become the masters of this world!”

Seeing the scene resembling ferocious beasts tearing apart a helpless lamb, the flaming Evil Demon laughed out loud.

This scene could be seen nearly everywhere on the central plains in this mutating environment.

Even though the surviving humans possessed various concealment methods, they were eventually forced to appear by this massive upheaval in the heavens and the earth, and encountered the violent treachery of the Evil Demons.

At the same time, all the Gods receiving this news became even more terrified.

“The Nine Tier Purgatory... has surfaced?”

“No, this is a transformation of the world and involves the secrets of the world’s natural source!”

“According to the intelligence of the Son of Purgatory on my side, Apophis can no longer wait. The ultimate battle is near!”

“This indicates that our tactics were very effective and have to be resolutely implemented further!”

...

Winds and clouds immediately surged on all the Main World’s continents.

By Apophis’ will, divinity was propelled to start swallowing each other and was not something that could be easily avoided.

Even if a Son of Purgatory escaped to the ends of the world, they would still face the backlash of divinity.

The only route of survival was to immerse in cultivating this poison, actively enter the central region, mutually swallow and kill each other to enhance their abilities, and finally defeat Apophis. This was the fundamental solution to everything.

Immediately, the Sons of Purgatory gritted their teeth and began their journey toward the central region.

The powers of the former human kingdoms, as well as churches, similarly injected even more manpower.

At the Purgatory’s borders, large human armies stood to form a compact encirclement that was engaged in a stalemate with the Evil Demon army.

Of course, it might perhaps be more appropriate to call it ‘guarding’.

And under the support of many human kingdoms, the Adventurer Society also issued high-value missions and invited famous adventurer teams to enter the depths of the Demon Territory to spy and provide intelligence or assist the Sons of Purgatory that had defected to the churches and kingdoms.

In an instant, clouds and winds surged in this territory. Every moment had countless killings and deaths.

“The true body of the Sun God is actually inside the Demon Territory?”

In these circumstances, Fang Yuan rode a horse and reached the edges of the Demon Territory.

Because of the relation between the huge armies and many adventurers, a massive bazaar that permeated a sense of chaos was naturally formed here. There were many exotic items here, and at any time, there would be adventurers taking out silver and bronze coins, or even Evil Demon materials, to start bartering with stall owners.

“Ever since this land was infected and started undergoing purgatory, it was known as the Demon Territory. It encompasses one empire and three kingdoms, and it’s still constantly expanding,” Fang Yuan muttered to himself. “Through experiments, it shows that killing Evil Demons can slow this process. Thus, various nations not only dispatched large armies, they even paid huge monetary sums to employ the Adventurer Society to issue long-term missions!”

Of course, his only goal was Sun God Ramon!

As the supreme being among the Nine Pillar Gods, there was a huge possibility that he had fallen into deep sleep after his heavy injury and even be coveted by the Sons of Purgatory.

Especially Jay!

He had already obtained the Godhood of the Death God. If he further obtained the Sun God’s, it was entirely possible that he could break the seal that Fang Yuan had left and actually refine the divinity, bringing some variables to the ultimate battle.

Thus, Fang Yuan had to come over personally to control everything.

“Actually, this is also a turning point! How the future of the world turns out is entirely dependent on this!”

Undoubtedly, if the Sun God died this time and the other Sons of Purgatory did not obtain any benefits, then the possibility that this world would end in the future increased greatly by a few times.

And if the Sun God recovered or was swallowed up the Sons of Purgatory, the future of the world would become much more nebulous.

“Adventurer Society!”

Fang Yuan led his horse and walked into the bazaar, arriving in front of a recently constructed, temporary hall.

It was hung full of missions, most of them related to the Evil Demons:

“Long-term Mission: Kill small Evil Demons and use the horns as proof. Each one can reward you with fifty pennies!”

“Exploration Mission: Draw a map of the Demon Territory. Rewards will be based on its completion level!”

“Escort Mission...”

“Extermination Mission...”

The dense missions were arranged in columns going downward like a waterfall. Below, there were streams of adventurers bustling with activity.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan turned contemplative.

With Jay’s ability, he can only detect that the Sun God is in deep sleep somewhere in the Demon Territory. As for where he actually is, he has no clue...

Instead, this Adventurer Society has huge ambitions and is actually making a map of the Demon Territory. Perhaps it can be put to good use.

Also, this bazaar is the largest gathering area nearby. There are many Sons of Purgatory here...

He looked toward an adventurer team.

This team consisted of five people. There were two warriors, one archer, one thief, and a caster, a very standard team arrangement of five.

Their equipment was sophisticated, and they were considered decent even among the adventurers.

Of course, what attracted Fang Yuan’s gaze was person in the middle. That archer was actually a Son of Purgatory!

“Amanda, what’re you thinking about?”

The sorcerer beside pushed his companion slightly.

Just now, this female archer was clearly absentminded.

“Oh, no, nothing...”

Amanda hurriedly shook her head, but the worry on her brow could not be concealed.

The closer we get, the stronger I feel the pull of the Purgatory. It seems that all of the Sons of Purgatory will ultimately plummet into the Purgatory. This is their fate!

The team are good people and have helped me a lot. Unfortunately, I can’t say anything about this...

After entering the depths of the Demon Territory this time, I’ll find an opportunity to part with them!

Amanda gritted her teeth and was immediately determined.
