Lord of All Realms

Chapter 1541: The Son of Darkness

On the seven dead stars that surrounded the Seven Stars Realm Sea.

The broken teleportation portals left behind by various human sects were repaired by the Devils and Netherspirits.

Through them, powerful experts from the Void World infiltrated the human world with the help of the Demons, Phantasms, Fiends, and Bonebrutes.

Together they had more than a dozen grand monarchs, each of whom would be able to easily dominate any human domain that wasn’t protected by God domain experts.

The Domain of Frigid Depths, the Domain of Nine Twists, the Domain of Dark Marsh, the Domain of Heavenly Illusion...

Human domains fell one after another.

With the Demons, Phantasms, and Bonebrutes leading the way, the Devils, Bonedrudes, and Netherspirits sacked the human domains, and slaughtered all those who dared to rebel against them, only keeping and rearing the weak ones like livestock.

Within a very short time, more than a dozen human domains fell into the hands of the invaders from the Void World.

...

In the Realm of Crystal Snow, wisps of sword light hovered around Ye Wenhan’s sleeves as he received the latest news.

Frowning, he turned to Dong Li and said, “The Domain of Heaven’s Origin was just sacked. The Martial Spirit Sect has been razed to the ground, all of their disciples at the Void domain or higher butchered.”

Dong Li sighed. “The Martial Spirit Sect.”

She had learned from Nie Tian that he had a fairly good relationship with the Martial Spirit Sect, since he had fought alongside Chai Longge and Chai Fengwu, the brother-sister pair, in the Shatter Battlefield.

“Why weren’t the disciples of the Martial Spirit Sect evacuated to a realm protected by a godly grand spell formation?” Dong Li asked.

Ye Wenhan smiled bitterly and said, “How many realms are there that are protected by godly grand spell formations? There are the main realms of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the Void Spirit Society, the Five Elements Sect, and a handful of sects like the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect and Profound Purity Palace. How vast is the human world? How many sects are there in it? How can we evacuate them all to safe areas?”

“That is true,” Ji Yuanquan chimed in.

As the outsiders from the Void World joined up with the outsiders from the Spirit World, humanity’s crushing defeat was almost inevitable.

After a thorough discussion, Dong Li and the other experts agreed that the main realms of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the Void Spirit Society, and the Five Elements Sect were currently the safest places in the human world. Even late tenth grade outsider grand monarchs wouldn’t be able to sack them within a short time.

Therefore, they would arrange for their elite forces that were out there in different domains to go take shelter in realms like the Realm of Fragmentary Star that were protected by godly grand spell formations.

By doing this, they hoped to ensure the survival of some of their sect or clan members.

At this moment, the black tortoise, which had been lying lazily on the ground, suddenly gave a jerk and became alarmed.

It looked up and cried into the heavens.

Dong Li’s expression flickered with astonishment as she immediately established soul communication with the black tortoise. Her gorgeous face gradually grew grim as she said to those around her, “Bad news. The Ripper Behemoth’s sealing magic on the Domain of Endless Snow is failing. The invaders from the Void World have arrived under Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ leadership. They’ve released a kind of outsider insect called Behemoth Crawlers to gnaw at the Ripper Behemoth’s flesh aura.”

Everyone gasped upon hearing these words.

The existence of the Ripper Behemoth was the reason why they were staying in the Domain of Endless Snow instead of other places.

Nie Tian had made it perfectly clear before leaving that the Ripper Behemoth would provide them with strong assistance in the upcoming battles.

In both the Domain of Heaven Span and the Domain of Endless Snow, the Ripper Behemoth had proved its ability to turn the situation around single-handedly.

The Ripper Behemoth joining them had given them great confidence.

But now...

“The Behemoth Crawlers were specially bred to deal with Star Behemoths. Those invaders brought them from the Void World.” Dong Li added with a heavy heart. “The Ripper Behemoth told the black tortoise to tell us that if we don’t take care of those Behemoth Crawlers, it won’t come out and help us fight.”

Ye Wenhan was in a fret as he asked, “Behemoth Crawlers? What the hell are they?”

“I’ve never heard of them either,” Ji Yuanquan said. Then, his eyes glittered as he added, “If the Behemoth Crawlers have undermined the Ripper Behemoth’s sealing and control of the Domain of Endless Snow, this is no longer a safe place for us. I suggest we arrange for our weaker members to go take shelter in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and the Void Spirit Society’s headquarters, while the rest of us stay and figure out a way to exterminate those Behemoth Crawlers.”

Dong Li took a look at him and said, “Those controlling the Behemoth Crawlers are a sub-soul of Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits and Devil and Bonedrude grand monarchs. And they’re joined by Grand Monarch Bloodlust, Grand Monarch Nether Channeler, and Grand Monarch Gray Bones. These are only the ones that we know. We don’t know if more mighty grand monarchs have arrived from the Void World. Do we have the confidence to exterminate the Behemoth Crawlers right under their noses?”

The whole crowd of powerful experts fell silent after hearing this.

WHOOSH!

A beam of dark light suddenly shot across the boundless starry river and arrived outside of the Realm of Crystal Snow.

From within the dark light echoed a resonant voice. “Excuse me, but is Miss Dong here?”

Immediately afterwards, a young male Devil with an extraordinarily handsome appearance emerged from the darkness.

He was dressed in extremely complicated and exquisite garments, with long purple hair cascading down his shoulders. His pitch-black pupils seemed to be the origin of darkness, shimmering with intoxicating devilish charm. “My name is Aztec. In the Void World, people call me the Son of Darkness. I’m hoping you’ll come out to have a meeting with me.”

Every God domain expert in the Realm of Crystal Snow gasped. “A Devil!”

The eyes of Yin Xingtian, Yu Suying, and many other human experts burst forth with dazzling divine light.

Their gazes penetrated the realm barrier and landed on the starry river outside the Realm of Crystal Snow.

However, they couldn’t sense Aztec’s aura at all, as if he was completely sealed in dark power.

Even Grand Monarch Primal Wood and the three Ancientspirit grand monarchs, who released their flesh power and soul power to probe him, sensed nothing but darkness, the most extreme darkness!

Dong Li was the only one who didn’t make any special attempt to examine him, yet his appearance and aura seemed to enter her mind very naturally.

“Dark power!” Dong Li exclaimed softly. Though separated from Aztec by the realm barrier, she managed to sense an aura that she found very familiar from him, the aura of the dark stone.

According to the legends, there were a total of two dark stones, which were the eyes of the deceased Dark King.

One of them was in her possession, and had already merged with her spiritual sea.

The other one...

Dong Li suddenly realized that the other dark stone, the other eye of the Dark King, must be on Aztec, who was waiting outside the Realm of Crystal Snow.

“The Dark King is the strongest leader in my people’s history, and I have his blood running through my veins.” As Aztec’s mighty voice echoed from the starry river, the realm barrier of the Realm of Crystal Snow shook so violently, giving rise to cracking sounds, that it seemed as if it were going to shatter.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Many snow-capped mountains in the Realm of Crystal Snow toppled as deep chasms ripped through the earth.

Thick darkness started seeping from the chasms like pitch-black water.

It was as if endless darkness was going to devour the entire Realm of Crystal Snow within a short time.

Even now, none of the human experts or Ancientspirit grand monarchs could see through Aztec’s bloodline grade.

Only his voice rumbled from high above, as if the heavens were collapsing.

WHOOSH!

Agatha, who was also a Devil, appeared behind Aztec, looking very charming.

Bowing slightly, she said from behind him, “You could have simply gone down there and retaken that lost treasure, my lord. Why waste your time talking to these humans? You have a good chance at transcending the tenth grade in the future as your ancestor did.”

Her tone and manners clearly suggested that she was talking to a superior.

Aztec shook his head and said, “My ancestor’s legacy has already merged with her. It won’t be easy to separate it. There are things you won’t understand even if I explain them to you.”

“So are you...?” A confused look appeared on Agatha’s face.

Aztec smiled. “I have a plan.”

The darkness in the starry river suddenly dissipated.

In the next moment, Aztec’s dark aura seemed to fill every dark area in the Realm of Crystal Snow.

It was as if he were in every dark corner.

“Miss Dong, you and I, we’re a perfect match. Only if we come together can the origin of darkness be reunited.” Aztec’s voice seemed to echo from all directions. “That man named Nie Tian doesn’t deserve you at all.”
