Chapter 1932: Chapter 2029: Stopping the Great Calamity

Within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, a silhouette sat cross-legged amidst boundless golden light, appearing both real and illusory, intermittently visible and invisible.

Suddenly, this golden figure quietly opened its eyes, a hint of surprise flashing within those golden pupils.

"So quickly attempting to break my seal?" the golden voice spoke, seemingly having sensed something.

At the same time, beneath the great sea, the hulking form of the Ancient Demon Tree gradually approached the underwater volcano, as nine pitch-black chains continued to emit a trembling sound, seemingly extremely averse to the Ancient Demon Tree.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

The nine chains simultaneously shook, revealing nine ghostly lights that directly assaulted the approaching Ancient Demon Tree.

The Ancient Demon Tree swung its vines, trying to fend off the nine ghostly lights, yet countless vines were shattered, directly striking the trunk of the Ancient Demon Tree.

Aooo!!!

The Ancient Demon Tree let out a painful howl, its body riddled with craters from the ghostly lights, and so many vines were snapped.

However, the Ancient Demon Tree continued to approach the underwater volcano, and even the immense power of the nine chains couldn’t halt it.

Boom!

When the Ancient Demon Tree stood at the mouth of the volcano, the nine chains fell silent, their glow dimming as though all their energy had been depleted.

From beneath the volcano, faint clear cries could be heard, and bits of firelight flickered.

The Ancient Demon Tree immediately extended nine of its thickest vines, which quickly entwined around the nine pitch-black chains.

As the vines touched the chains, a sizzling sound erupted, as if the vines were being scorched, quickly turning charred and blackened.

Yet the Ancient Demon Tree seemed completely unfazed, suddenly exerting its strength, attempting to yank the nine chains from the volcano.

This exertion caused a tremor across the Nine Countries Seven Seas, even those in the ten thousand mountains could feel the ground under their feet tremble slightly.

The ocean roared, the lands quaked!

Numerous beings were terrified, not knowing what was happening, while some of the powerful experts from the Human Clan and the Demon Clan could clearly sense that the source of the tremor seemed to come from the sea.

"What is going on again?"

"Could it be that chaos is really about to reign across the world?"

"It seems even the Seven Seas are not peaceful."

···

The Sky Tower Sword Master and the other two pursued the Ancient Demon Tree, and though they did not enter the sea, they saw the Ancient Demon Tree in the depths, pulling at the nine chains.

This scene left the three of them shocked. Though they knew of the underwater volcano and the nine chains, they were unaware of their origins and what lay suppressed within the volcano, always maintaining a respectful distance.

But they hadn’t expected the Ancient Demon Tree to come directly here, attempting to pull at the nine chains, seemingly trying to release something from beneath the volcano.

"What exactly does this Ancient Demon Tree intend to do?" the Black White Taoist Sage exclaimed, astonished.

The Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor’s expression changed, hesitated, yet still spoke, "I once suspected these nine chains are related to that ancient catastrophe."

"What did you say?" The Sky Tower Sword Master and the Black White Taoist Sage both turned pale.

The Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor said gravely, "You both are unaware, I once dared to venture into the mouth of that volcano and saw that beneath the nine chains seems to lock something, its aura exactly the same as when that great calamity occurred."

Upon hearing this, the Black White Taoist Sage’s face turned even worse, nearly glaring at the Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor, "You investigated this place secretly without telling us?"

The Sky Tower Sword Master, not in the mood, said, "This is not the time to discuss this. What should we do now?"

The Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor clasped his hands together, "I believe we must stop this Ancient Demon Tree, otherwise, once the nine chains have a mishap, a great calamity might descend once more. Though we escaped once, we may not escape a second time."

"It must be stopped, or the three of us will also be dragged into it," the Sky Tower Sword Master said.

The Black White Taoist Sage frowned deeply, "But the Ancient Demon Tree is related to Mo Martial Master. If we stop it, it may provoke Mo Martial Master’s wrath."

The Sky Tower Sword Master cast a glance at him, "Are you saying we should stand by and watch the great calamity descend once more?"

The Black White Taoist Sage said bitterly, "I naturally do not wish for the calamity, but if we stop the Ancient Demon Tree, Mo Martial Master might not spare us."

"Do you think we can escape again if the calamity occurs?" the Sky Tower Sword Master said coldly, growing impatient.

The Black White Taoist Sage understood their meaning, but his fear of Mo Shouhe left him full of concerns, not daring to easily stop the Ancient Demon Tree’s actions.

Yet, considering from another angle, if the Ancient Demon Tree pulled those nine chains, the past disaster would descend again. Their escape back then was by underhand means and sheer luck, and there would be no escaping a second time.

Rather than fearing Mo Shouhe’s rage, it made more sense to resolve the present issue first and consider other matters later.

"Fine! We’ll act together!" the Black White Taoist Sage gritted his teeth and said.

Once they reached a consensus, they had no further reservations, setting aside all concerns until stopping the Ancient Demon Tree.

Boom!!!

The three plunged into the sea, launching an attack directly at the Ancient Demon Tree, immediately preventing it from pulling the chains once again.

Roar!!

The Ancient Demon Tree was infuriated, immediately sending countless vines sweeping toward the three, each vine akin to a divine weapon, capable of heavily wounding even an Immortal entity if hit once.

The Sky Tower Sword Master and the others were genuine Heavenly Mandate masters, not ordinary ones either, having once been counted among the Unparalleled Eight Emperors, notable Martial Arts masters of the ancient era.

At this moment, the three joined forces against the Ancient Demon Tree without fear, for this tree was not yet as fearsome as in the Ancient Wilderness era, at least it could still be killed.

The Sky Tower Sword Master’s silver Longsword was exceedingly sharp, easily severing any vine that came at her, while the Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor and the Black White Taoist Sage used their skills to destroy all the vines binding the Tree to the chains.

However, they found that the Ancient Demon Tree’s vines seemed endless. No matter how many were cut, they continuously grew back, proving exceedingly cumbersome over time.

While the trio battled the Ancient Demon Tree, the demon beasts from the Nine Countries had already entered the sea, rushing toward the Ancient Demon Tree’s location.
