Chapter 309: New Home, The Demon God Descends

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Howl!
Howling chilly winds wreaked havoc in the ice fields.
A world of ice completely covered in frost and snow, these were the Far Northern Icelands of Heaven’s Vault Continent.
Whoosh!
A huge shadowy mass suddenly traveled swiftly across the ice fields—it was actually an astonishingly large group of humans that numbered tens of thousands flying in the sky.
Upon closer look, they turned out to be tens of thousands of shabbily-dressed Beast People. At the moment, however, they all sported fearful and horror-stricken looks on their faces and looked as if they were full of despair.
Above them was a Multi-Armed Behemoth—it was Meng Lei’s Magical Beast pet, Sacas.
“Listen up now!”
Sacas tried to comfort the Beast People as they flew. It said, “The new home that I’m bringing all of you to is an all-new continent. There, the lands are vast, and the resources rich and abundant. It’s a perfect habitat to live in!
“There, no one will compete with you for resources or fight with you for food. Neither are there savage Magical Beasts that will attack you! You can reproduce freely and make the place your home.”
The Beast People were dubious about his claims. Vast lands? Rich and abundant resources? No natural enemies?
Did a place as wonderful as that really exist?
Amid their doubts, everyone arrived at the teleportation magic circle in the Far Northern Icelands in no time. Sacas led the Beast People through the teleportation magic circle and arrived at Demonic Dragon Continent.
“Look, this is your new home!”
Sacas pointed at the vast and boundless Demonic Dragon Continent and said passionately, “Here, there are lush grasslands, dense and luxuriant forests, clear rivers, and fertile soil!”
The Beast People’s eyes widened big and round as they gazed at the all-new world. True enough, what entered their sights was green grasslands that stretched as far as the eye could see, a sea of lush forests, and great rivers that meandered through the lands like silver snakes...
And yet...
They didn’t spot even a single Magical Beast!
They didn’t spot even a single human!
They didn’t spot even a single Colossal Dragon!
“Here, you can freely till the fields, herd or let the livestock graze as much as you want, and fish as you wish. You can also pick fruits and enjoy life as much as you want!”
Sacas said loudly, “Now, I’ll bring you to your new home!”
Shortly after, they arrived at the intersection of an expanse of grasslands and a forest. Sacas let the Beast People down. At the same time, he also brought out a huge pile of food, seeds, etc.
“Welcome to your new home, my people!”
...
Similar incidents were also taking place in all the other existential planes.
Thaniel the Black Dragon, Bubbles the Fallen Titan, Mervyn the squid Magician, Pursuer the alchemy creature, Nadja the Black Panther Goddess, Seisia the Thunderbolt Queen, Galen the Swirling Snow Sword Saint, Rose the Spider Goddess, Nagaros the Dark Fairy Empress, Anton the Dark Snapping Turtle King, etc.—all of them were also busy migrating people over.
Every one of them took the trouble to personally migrate them over.
All of them were full of smiles and brimming with anticipation.
In the past, many of them could only hide underground and painstakingly build up what they could because they didn’t have fiefs of their own.
But now that they had such wonderful resources sitting in front of them, how would they possibly let it pass them by?
They couldn’t wait to see the day where their worshipers filled the 48 existential planes and provided vast amounts of power of faith for them!
With power of faith, they would be able to convert it into power of divinity!
With power of faith, they would be able to enhance their divine spirit!
Even the mere thought of it seemed wonderful!
They had only one word for it—beautiful!
After settling the group of Beast People, Sacas went through the teleportation magic circle and returned to the Far Northern Icelands. However, something shocking entered its sight at this moment:
A massive black pit suddenly appeared in the sky, spanning across it like a black hole. It was hard to say just how big it was, but it measured at least 100-meters-wide even when looking at it from the faraway Far Northern Icelands.
Given that it measured 100-meters-wide even when looking at it from such a great distance away, one could easily imagine just how massive the black hole must be!
Boom!
A black-light beam suddenly shot out of the black hole and shone vertically downward on the ground, forming a black pillar of light that connected the heavens and earth.
Vast, majestic might spread everywhere into the surroundings from the black pillar of light, spreading throughout Heaven’s Vault Continent like a tsunami.
Thud!
Everywhere the mighty aura passed through, be it normal humans or Saint Domain experts, everyone fell onto their knees uncontrollably. They felt as if a huge rock was weighing down on their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.
“O Great God Meng Lei! W-what exactly is going on?”
“Have extraterrestrial demons descended upon us?”
“Please watch over us, Great God Meng Lei! Please watch over us...”
The people were terrified out of their wits. Filled with fear and unease, they hastily started to pray piously.
“Something terrible has happened!”
Sacas’ expression changed drastically. It transformed into a beam of light that shot toward the Meng Lei Empire. Thaniel, Nadja, and the others also did the same.
Roar!
A loud and sonorous dragon roar rang out. The people looked up and turned their gazes to the direction from which the roar came. At once, they saw a terrifying, savage-looking dragon head emerge from within the black hole.
It was then followed by its body, wings, tail...
It was a Dark Demonic Dragon that measured more than 1,000,000-feet-long. Pitch-black all over and incredibly savage-looking, it gave off a demonic aura that reached all the way into the heavens.
“A Colossal Dragon! It’s a Colossal Dragon!”
“Oh my god! The Colossal Dragons are back!”
“The Colossal Dragons have made a comeback...”
The Dragon God Empire had only just been overthrown not too long ago, so the people’s faith in the Dragon God hadn’t yet completely dispersed. How could they possibly have forgotten about the nefarious Colossal Dragons?
For a moment, hate, fury, fear, and various other negative emotions swept through Heaven’s Vault Continent, and the people sank into great fear and panic.
Roar!
“What fearsome demonic might! That’s a Dark Demonic Dragon! Boss was right on the mark after all!”
Sacas moved at high speed while keeping his gaze fixed on the Dark Demonic Dragon that had emerged from the black hole. It scoffed, “Do they think they can make trouble here with just one intermediate deity-level Dark Demonic Dragon, though? They are practically just courting deat—”
Roar!
Just as Sacas was sneering, another huge and savage-looking head that also gave off great demonic might popped out of the black hole.
Its body... measured 1,000,000-feet-long, too!
“Another Dark Demonic Dragon?!” Sacas’ heart sank a little. “It’s alright. Boss is the master of the existential plane. So what even if there are two intermediate deities?”
Roar!
It was just a shame that following the second Dark Demonic Dragon, more of them also started to emerge one after another. As though they had opened Pandora’s box, there was no end to them at all.
In under a minute, 50 Dark Demonic Dragons had emerged from the black hole. Every one of them was 1,000,000-feet-long and emanated overwhelming demonic might.
Sacas was completely unnerved this time. A hint of shock and horror surfaced in its eyes as it exclaimed, “Damn it! Why are there so many Dark Demonic Dragons? Where did they come from?”
No one answered Sacas, however.
No one answered Thaniel and the others, too.
No one answered the masses, either!
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
50 Dark Demonic Dragons circled about high up in the sky as they roared furiously into the sky. Their earth-shattering roars were as though thousands upon thousands of horses neighing simultaneously or thousands upon thousands of cannons exploding.
Boom!!
Roiling sound waves haphazardly mixed together and formed an earth-shattering energy wave that exploded with a deafening boom. The dimension broke and splintered into numerous viscous masses.
In a split second, the azure-blue skies turned into pitch-black hell as several horrifying space-time rifts flickered and appeared. It was as though doomsday had come.
