Chapter 795 - 716: Reaching the Peak 115
The attitude of everyone, especially Tan Shuangshuang, finally calmed Yun Mantian’s always anxious heart. He was inwardly relieved that this Tribulation Crossing Powerhouse had a very good disposition, without any eccentricities and a sense of justice, which alleviated his heavy mood slightly.
However, thinking of the impending crisis, this slight good mood quickly disappeared. Yun Mantian couldn’t help but sigh, looking a bit worried, he said to Tan Shuangshuang, "If it weren’t for the seriousness of this matter, we wouldn’t dare to disturb you, senior. Truly, this crisis is too significant, and relying solely on the strength of Phoenix Feather Country, we cannot withstand it!"
Prince Ming, Yun Mantian’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed, sighing repeatedly, appearing very anxious, "Our Transcendance Tribulation Stage forefather of Phoenix Feather Country discovered a demon passage in the Black Stone Plain of the southeastern region!"
"What!"
Even though she was mentally prepared, Tan Shuangshuang couldn’t help being greatly shocked! Not only Tan Shuangshuang, but everyone who heard the news was shocked. Even Bai Sheng, who was always cold and indifferent, showed a look of shock.
The appearance of a demon passage, this major crisis is incomparable to the previous demon invasion of Baiyue Country that brought crisis to humanity!
The demon invasion was merely the Demon Clan projecting from the Abyss into the human world, creating a small opening between the two worlds, allowing demons from one part of the Abyss to invade the human world.
But the Demon Clan is an enormous race. The abysses of the Demon Clan are not just one but countless, with the number of demons in each abyss varying greatly.
Faced with demons from one or a few abysses, humanity can still cope, but a demon passage is different. Historically, demon passages have always appeared unexpectedly, and no one knows the reason for their appearance. Each time a demon passage appears, it connects at least a hundred demon abysses!
This means that at least a hundred abysses of demons will invade the human world together, which is truly a disaster for the entire continent!
The only thing that can be considered lucky at this moment is that although the demon passage has hundreds of entrances facing the abyss, it always has only one exit facing humanity!
This allows humanity to focus its efforts on combating the demons because a single exit limits the number of demons that can emerge at once, giving humans a small respite. If there were two more exits, given the massive numbers of demons, humanity would truly be in danger.
Regarding this matter, Tan Shuangshuang couldn’t remain uninvolved. So she frankly nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll agree to this. I wonder what plans your country has? How would you like us to help?"
Upon hearing Tan Shuangshuang’s clear commitment to helping, Yun Mantian’s heart, which had been anxious all along, was completely at ease. A Tribulation Crossing Powerhouse is indeed crucial to the battle.
"The Emperor has already sent people to notify all countries on the continent about the demon passage. However, apart from the countries surrounding Phoenix Feather Country, it will take some time for those further away to arrive.
Currently, we can only barely prevent the demon passage from fully opening, but the demons on the other side are constantly attacking the passage, hoping to enter our world as soon as possible. Their offensive is strong, and it won’t be long before we can no longer hold back the demons from entering the human world.
We lack enough experts in Phoenix Feather Country. I hope you, senior, can help us guard the demon passage, at least prevent the demons from rampaging after the defense fails, until reinforcements from other countries arrive."
Tan Shuangshuang did not make a unilateral decision. Although she was sure to help, she looked around at the few people nearby. Tan Feiyu, Lu Tianyi, Fei Hu, and Bai Sheng’s gazes all expressed that their thoughts aligned with Tan Shuangshuang’s.
Only then did Tan Shuangshuang nod and say, "That’s no problem, we’ll head there immediately, but it will trouble Prince Ming to send someone to guide us."
"That’s to be expected, thank you, senior, for your willingness to help, we are truly grateful." Yun Mantian’s humble attitude made Tan Shuangshuang feel a bit embarrassed. After all, this is actually an issue concerning all of humanity and all living beings. As a member of all beings, it is only right to take responsibility.
The person guiding Tan Shuangshuang and the others was a young man who was by Yun Mantian’s side. As the Emperor’s uterine brother deeply trusted and busy beyond means, Yun Mantian could not spare the time to guide Tan Shuangshuang and her group all by himself.
The Black Stone Plain is just as its name suggests, a vast expanse of nothing but black stone. This place has been the battlefield between Phoenix Feather Country and the Demon Clan numerous times. With so many battles, the area became deeply tainted by Demonic Qi, gradually transforming from lush green grass to today’s barren land, devoid of any life.
Also, because the Black Stone Plain has no scenery to offer, Tan Shuangshuang and the others never thought of coming to see it, which is why they were completely unaware of the demon passage’s appearance.
Due to the urgency of the journey, Tan Shuangshuang and the others rode the Flying Artifact used exclusively by the Phoenix Feather Country’s Imperial Family, which was several times faster than Tan Shuangshuang’s Flying Heaven Palace. Traveling at full speed, it was faster than the wind, and the scenery around them blurred into streaks of light, making it impossible to see clearly.
Riding such a fast Flying Artifact, they quickly reached their destination—the Black Stone Plain. The Black Stone Plain is enormous, extending beyond the horizon. Such a vast expanse of land hints at how fierce the past battles between Phoenix Feather Country and the Demon Clan were.
The location of the demon passage was in the center of the Black Stone Plain. Even before getting close, the oppressive and destructive aura only felt during a demon invasion, filled with darkness and suppression, wafted over, weighing heavily on everyone’s hearts. Surely, it was the Demon Clan.
Continuing forward for a bit, even before approaching the center, they already saw the shadow of the demon passage. They soon arrived at the front of the demon passage, which appeared as an enormous vortex hanging in the air, with a diameter not less than five hundred meters by visual estimation!
At this moment, countless arrays and barriers were blocking it from fully opening at the front of this vortex. Behind the vortex, the dense aura of high-level demons was intimidating, revealing that many advanced demons were undoubtedly waiting behind this passage.
The current state of this demon passage was not fully open. If it were to fully open, the diameter of the vortex would expand at least twice more, causing a massive influx of demons.
Currently, everyone was busy delaying the complete opening of the demon passage, waiting for the experts from various countries to arrive quickly. No one knew how many abysses the passage linked to or the levels of demons that would rush through once the passage fully opened.
