Chapter 527: Impending Disaster
Chapter 527: Impending Disaster
"It's time to come out of seclusion." Jiu Shen muttered to himself. He had already recovered his power and by his estimates, he was ten times stronger than he was before! And if he uses his Bale Dragon Sacred Sword, his strength would increase further! He didn't even know the limit of his current power...
"Master, is it time for us to leave?" An aged voice echoed behind.
Jiu Shen turned his head and looked at Atlas who had already risen to his feet. The aura of the old man changed noticeably. He was already a late stage Heavenly God Realm expert, just one realm weaker than Jiu Shen!
Soon, a few more people stepped forward and looked at him with excited faces. They have been cultivating inside this hall for a hundred years and the thought of finally seeing the sun again made them feel a sense of anticipation.
Theia. Late stage Heavenly God Realm.
Ren Shuang. Late stage Heavenly God Realm.
Hestia. Late stage Heavenly God Realm.
Ice. Late stage Heavenly God Realm.
Long Meili. Late stage Heavenly God Realm.
Aren. Mid stage...
Balmond...
Yue Bo...
Jiu Shen inspected their cultivation one by one. Most of his high-ranking subordinates were now at the Heavenly God Realm and the disciples hovered between the True God Realm and some of the stronger ones among them even reached the Supreme God Realm!
With his usual calm and indifferent look, Jiu Shen said. "It's time we go back to the outside world."
Upon hearing his words, the disciples cheered with excitement, while the higher-ups smiled with joy.
Jiu Shen knew that it wasn't good to force them into seclusion as it might hinder their future growth. Their cultivation might still grow, but their power couldn't be compared to those who had reached their cultivation through hardships and countless life and death battles!
"Atlas, Theia, Hestia, Ice, Long Meili, and Aren. The six of you will stay here in the dragon building. Ren Shuang, Yin Long, Ka Wayan, and Gu San. The four of you can use the Teleportation Array Formation to bring the rest back to the sword tower..."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
"Yes..."
Everyone acknowledged his command in unison.
Jiu Shen glanced at the six people behind before he walked towards the door. "It's time to meet you, Jian Wang..." He whispered softly as he pushed the door open.

Asmodeus stared at the broken Sealing Array Formations all over his stone house. The entrance leading to the Primordial God Realm was already half-opened and he could even see the bright and dazzling sky from the other side.
His face was pale and it looks like a large amount of his blood has been drained.
With tired and weary eyes, Asmodeus used his remaining true essence and spiritual power to create a new Sealing Array Formation.
He drew an outline of a magic circle on the ground using a brush and imbued it with spiritual power. As he summoned his last bits of spiritual power, Asmodeus' body trembled. He even almost collapsed during the last phase of inscribing the symbols on the Array Formation, but he gritted his teeth and continued the process through sheer willpower! "N-Not yet!"
After he drew the last symbol, Asmodeus spat several mouthfuls of dark crimson blood.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Asmodeus gasped as he held his chest in pain. He could feel his dantian churning. He had truly over-exerted himself this time.
He then turned towards the partially opened entrance as he wheezed with difficulty. "I m-must warn them!"
Asmodeus activated all the Sealing Array Formation before he jumped towards the entrance!
He could no longer summon his spiritual power and true essence since he had already drained everything. If he wasn't a Celestial God Realm expert, he would have already died from that!
Asmodeus felt the warm rays of sunlight enveloping his body. He looked around and noticed that he was in a vast desert. "So the entrance actually opened to the desert regions, but this is also good. If it had opened in the central parts of the Primordial God Realm, many would lose their lives! I must quickly search for Jian Wang and Lao Gou. Only with their help can we stop the Infernals of Hell!" He propped up his sore body and squinted his eyes. From the distance, he saw a city that was protected by tall walls. He even saw a large number of people going in and out of the city.
When he saw them, his face fell immediately. "These people will die once those Infernals come out of the entrance!"
Asmodeus sped towards the city and ignored his protesting body. He could only hope that the city would have someone of notable power who could help him broadcast the danger that was about to come.
When he reached the city gates, he ignored the stunned guards and leaped through the tall walls.
"Shit! Capture that man!"
"Mobilize the city guards to capture that man immediately!"
Asmodeus had no time to waste on them so he dashed toward the inner parts of the city. When he was confident that he had already shaken off the guards, Asmodeus stopped to take a breather. He could feel that his body was about to collapse from extreme exhaustion.
With a face full of sweat, he slowly raised his head and noticed that a huge crowd was headed in the same direction. "All of them must be going to an important place. I should follow this crowd and see where they are headed to."
At this moment, he could no longer muster his true essence and spiritual power, so he could only rely on his physical body and indomitable will to move forward.
Asmodeus grabbed a piece of cloth from his space ring and covered his face. There was a group of guards stationed ahead, so it was better to be cautious.
After a few minutes of trailing behind the crowd, Asmodeus saw a majestic dragon building surrounded by golden fences. When he saw the building, a light of astonishment flashed in his eyes. "There's actually such a place here in the desert region?"
After a short moment of surprise, he dragged his weary body towards the golden gates and entered. "Hopefully, someone can help me here." He muttered.
