Chapter 1212: The Demon Calamity Erupts!

To reach the Divine Realm, the infusion of mystic energy is an indispensable step!

But now, in the Divine Domain, mystic energy has long since vanished.

Even if Ye Yuan's Reverse Dao Pill truly had heaven-defying effects, without mystic energy infusion, it would ultimately be futile.

Thus, Fang Tian and the other were not optimistic about Ye Yuan.

In their view, it was the right path for Ye Yuan to use this precious time for cultivation and to comprehend the divine laws.

However, Ye Yuan clearly saw it differently.

"Two seniors, Kano won't give us that much time! Moreover, to kill Kano, I must at least comprehend the Guixu Divine Realm! But even if I comprehend the Guixu Divine Realm, I'm not sure I can kill Kano. So the Divine Fall Mountain Range is my only choice!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

He had made up his mind, and no matter how Fang Tian and the other tried to persuade him, he would not change it.

And Ye Yuan felt that his judgment was not wrong.

He had nearly shaken Yue Ji to death, entirely because she was very weak.

But Kano was not far from returning to his peak!

Even though he would face many restrictions, he was still the strongest existence in the Divine Domain.

Even if Ye Yuan comprehended the divine laws of the Guixu Divine Realm, it would be difficult to kill him.

To deal with Kano, there was only one path.

That was... to break through to the Divine Realm!

Just then, someone from the Dragon Clan reported that Divine King Lingzhe had come to visit.

Teng Yun brought them an expected piece of news: the demon calamity had finally erupted!

However, the strength of the demon race surprised everyone.

Apart from the Medicine King Hall, four of the other seven super holy lands had fallen!

These four super holy lands had become demon territory within a few days.

The Heavenly Sword Sect had long been a shadow of its former self, and the Holy City had shown no movement so far. Only one super holy land remained.

This one super holy land was clearly on the verge of collapse; how could it withstand the demon race's iron hooves?

Thus, nearly a third of the Divine Domain had fallen under demon occupation.

Hearing this news, everyone was deeply shaken.

Kano had planted many chess pieces for today.

Now that it erupted all at once, it caught everyone by surprise.

These eight super holy lands had all heard something about the demon race.

But they probably never took it seriously!

Until today, when the demon calamity erupted, it swept through most of the Divine Domain with lightning speed.

Although there were many latent forces in the Divine Domain, the core was still the eight holy lands.

But now, almost all eight holy lands had fallen, instantly stunning all the martial artists in the Divine Domain.

Fang Tian sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that in this millennia-long confrontation, I have been utterly defeated! I never expected Kano to have secretly developed his power to such an extent."

Ye Yuan comforted him, "Senior's merit does not lie here. If not for Senior's millennia of deterrence, Kano would not have needed to be so covert; the demon calamity would likely have erupted thousands of years ago. Some things cannot be helped. The plan now is how to resist the demon race's advance, not to blame yourself."

Fang Tian was already at the end of his strength; there were many things he simply lacked the power to do.

Relying solely on Divine King Lingzhe, it was difficult to hold the line.

"Ye Yuan is right! Brother Fang, talking about this now is useless. Let's discuss how to counter the demon race's attack." said Long Teng.

Fang Tian sighed, "It is no longer convenient for me to show myself now. I believe Kano will not show himself easily either. He and I probably have an unspoken understanding; without absolute certainty, we should wait and see. Ye Yuan, I am now exhausted in mind and body. I will pass the position of Mystic Gate Master to you!"

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Senior, you..."

Ye Yuan was helpless at Fang Tian's act of dumping responsibility.

Given Fang Tian's current state, it was indeed unsuitable for him to appear.

To have him lead this war was also beyond his ability.

Fang Tian laughed, "I know your plans, but under these circumstances, someone must step up to lead the human and demon races! Otherwise, the two races will collapse, and before long, the entire Divine Domain will be completely lost. If there were a second person in the Mystic Gate to take over, I wouldn't come to you."

Ye Yuan sighed, "Alright, then I will not decline. But... Brother Teng, I hope you don't take it to heart."

He knew that Teng Yun had followed Fang Tian for a long time, yet Fang Tian had passed the position of Mystic Gate Master to himself.

In all fairness, he had to apologize to Teng Yun.

Teng Yun smiled, "Teng is dull-witted and knows I am not capable of such a great responsibility. This position of Gate Master is yours by right!"

...

Ye Yuan did not know much about the Mystic Gate organization.

Of course, it wasn't just Ye Yuan.

The vast majority of people in the Divine Domain had never heard of the Mystic Gate organization.

Ye Yuan only knew that those with a Mystic-level token seemed to hold a very high status.

But when Ye Yuan saw the five people before him, he was instantly dumbfounded.

Divine King Lingzhe, Divine King Hunwu, Divine King Tianshu, Divine King Wuju, Divine King Xuanfeng!

These five were actually the five Mystic Masters of the Mystic Gate!

Among the ten divine kings, half were Fang Tian's people!

This strength could be said to occupy half of the Divine Domain.

Ye Yuan himself never expected that these five divine kings would one day become his subordinates.

Apart from the five divine kings, the Mystic Gate's power was far greater than Ye Yuan had imagined.

Fang Tian had trained dozens of peak Void Profound experts.

As for early Void Profound and Divine King realm experts, they were too numerous to count.

Although this number was far from matching the demon race, it already greatly surprised Ye Yuan.

It seemed that Fang Tian had indeed made many preparations for today.

But so many experts had been cultivated by Fang Tian over thousands of years.

He didn't even blink before handing the Mystic Gate to Ye Yuan.

Such magnanimity was truly admirable.

"You fellows have kept me in the dark for so long!" Ye Yuan shook his head with a wry smile.

"Heh, telling you earlier would have been useless. It's not too late for you to know now! But now, we have to call you Gate Master. Zhong never imagined that your rise would be so fast!" said Divine King Hunwu, Zhong Zizhen, with a smile.

Ye Yuan naturally knew these five, and the ones he had the best relationship with were Divine King Lingzhe and Divine King Hunwu.

Ye Yuan smiled, "I still need to thank Brother Zhong for the last matter."

Ye Yuan was referring to the matter of the Chixia Holy Land.

"It was just a small favor." Zhong Zizhen said lightly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Yuan's expression turned serious, "Brothers, now that the demon calamity is upon us, since I have inherited the position of Gate Master, I will rely on you all in the future. At present, the demon calamity has erupted, and the demon race is unstoppable. Our Mystic Gate's first battle must be a brilliant one!"
