Chapter 688
Chapter Title: Dark Heaven Village
Dark clouds were gathering.
The predawn sky, just as night was ending, had been torn apart by the screams of the night, gradually transforming into a massive mass echoing with streams of light. The eastern sky was already roiling ceaselessly due to the terrifying magic power, and the sorcerers reacted sensitively to its fluctuations. One of the sorcerers from the Myriad Crane Spirit Sect maintaining the barrier at the giant altar let out a groan.
"This wailing is terrifying..."
"I've never heard anything like it, even against great yokai."
All of them maintaining the Xin-si barrier were sorcerers versed in advanced spells, yet they all expressed intense fear as they thought of the source of that wail. And rightly so—for no matter how much yin energy and demonic power a great yokai spewed, there were limits, and they had tacitly gauged the boundaries between humans and yokai during their exorcisms. But the being now descending ignored such limits entirely; they instinctively realized it was something absolute.
Atop the altar, the Twelve Rites Sect Master, Lord of the Eastern Sea's Mystic Heavens, calmed the agitated sorcerers and said,
"Calm down. We all knew multiple Demon King-level beings would appear."
"But if this is a Demon King... there's no way humans can oppose it. It's dozens of times more powerful than a great yokai."
