Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 286 The Origin of the Demon God
Liu Sijun integrated the runes into the Key of Time and Space, and the battle scene between the Creator God and the Demon God appeared on the key.

"It seems our adventure has only just begun."

Liu Sijun gripped Gu Changzhou's hand tightly.

Gu Changzhou nodded: "No matter how many dangers lie ahead, I will be with you."

The group exchanged smiles and, carrying a new mission, embarked on a journey to find the next spacetime hub.

Unseen by them, the true form of the demon god was watching all this through a rift in spacetime, a cold smile playing on his lips.

The group embarked on a journey to the depths of the East China Sea in search of the next spacetime hub.

Along the way, Liu Sijun pondered the unfinished words of the Time Guardian and the scene of the battle between the Creator God and the Demon God, his heart filled with doubt and unease.

When they arrived at the East China Sea, they found that the seawater was an eerie purple, and a thin layer of mist was permeating the surface, giving off a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

Liu Sijun activated the Eye of the Void, attempting to locate the exact position of the spacetime hub, only to find his vision blocked by a powerful force.

"The situation here is more complicated than we imagined."

Liu Sijun frowned and said.

Just then, huge waves suddenly surged on the sea, and a giant sea beast burst out of the water. Its body was like a small mountain, covered with strange scales, and its eyes gleamed with a ghostly green light.

"careful!"

Gu Changzhou shouted and charged forward, brandishing his Molin Sword.

Everyone joined in and engaged in a fierce battle with the sea monster.

Li Qing activated the Netherworld Purifying Fire, which transformed into fiery serpents that coiled around the sea beast; Tong Lei's Golden Roc phantom soared into the sky, constantly swooping down to attack the sea beast's eyes; Palace Master Ji He, Palace Master Teng Lihui, and Palace Master Gong Linghan joined forces to cast powerful spells in an attempt to suppress the sea beast's movements.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the sea monster gradually could not hold on and finally collapsed on the sea surface, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating.

However, before they could even catch their breath, the seawater began to churn violently, and a huge whirlpool appeared before them.

"This is?"

Liu Sijun stared in surprise at the vortex, feeling a powerful suction pulling them inward.

Gu Changzhou quickly grabbed Liu Sijun and shouted, "Everyone be careful, keep your balance!"

Just then, a figure slowly rose from the vortex.

This is an old man dressed in a black robe. His face is etched with the marks of time, and his eyes reveal a sense of vicissitude and majesty.

Why did you trespass into this sea area?

The old man asked in a deep voice.

Liu Sijun took a deep breath and said, "Senior, we are here to find the spacetime nexus. There seems to be the aura of the remnants of the demon god here."

Upon hearing the words "Demon God," the old man's eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "So you've come for the Demon God. Very well, since you're here, I'll tell you some stories from the past."

The old man slowly began to recount that in ancient times, a powerful civilization once existed on the continent, a civilization that possessed the power to manipulate time and space.

The Demon God was originally a member of this civilization. He was ambitious and attempted to control the spacetime order of the entire universe.

To achieve his goals, he betrayed civilization, stole the core of the spacetime nexus, and used its power to conduct a series of horrific experiments, causing spacetime distortions and widespread destruction. The Creator God, in an effort to stop the demon god's evil deeds, waged an earth-shattering war against him.

In the end, the Creator God exhausted his power, sealing the Demon God in a rift in spacetime, and scattering the spacetime hubs in various corners of the continent to prevent the Demon God from using his power to do evil again.

The old man said, "Now the demon god's avatar is beginning to revive. His goal is to gather all the spacetime nexus points, break his seal, and then reshape the spacetime order of the universe so that everything develops according to his will."

Liu Sijun, Gu Changzhou, and the others were all extremely shocked upon hearing this.

They finally understood the origin of the demon god and his ambition, which strengthened their resolve to stop him.

Gu Changzhou: "Senior, do you know the exact location of the spacetime nexus? We must find it as soon as possible to stop the demon god's conspiracy."

The old man nodded slightly and said, "The spacetime nexus is deep within this vortex, but it is fraught with danger. You must be very careful."

After speaking, the old man raised his hand and waved it, sending a beam of light towards the vortex, instantly weakening the suction force within it.

The old man said, "Go in. I hope you succeed."

After thanking the old man, Liu Sijun and the others carefully walked into the depths of the whirlpool.

As the group ventured deeper into the whirlpool, they felt as if the surrounding seawater had transformed into a viscous barrier, making each step forward incredibly difficult.

Liu Sijun activated the power of the Taixu Spirit Crystal, forming a golden shield in front of him to resist the erosion of the powerful water pressure and mysterious forces around him.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding light grew dimmer, with only the faint glow emanating from Liu Sijun's Taixu Spirit Crystal and Gu Changzhou's Molin Sword illuminating the path ahead.

Suddenly, a school of fish, their bodies shimmering and radiating a ghostly blue light, shot towards them like arrows.

These fish are extremely fast and highly corrosive.

Tong Lei immediately manipulated the phantom of the Golden Roc to spread its wings and attack. The Golden Roc's wings stirred up a strong airflow, attempting to disperse the school of fish.

However, these fish are very cunning; they skillfully evade the golden eagle's attacks and flank it from the side.

Seeing this, Li Qing quickly activated the Netherworld Purifying Flame, which formed a wall of fire in the air, blocking the fish's attack. The scorching flames instantly turned the approaching fish into ashes, emitting a pungent odor.

Just as everyone was fighting fiercely with the fish, a low roar suddenly came from the darkness ahead, filled with violence and anger.

Immediately afterwards, a giant octopus-like monster emerged from the darkness with its tentacles. Its tentacles were thick and powerful, covered with sharp suckers, and each tentacle was tens of feet long.

Palace Master Ji He, Palace Master Teng Lihui, and Palace Master Gong Linghan exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously.

Palace Master Jihe's Taixu Spirit Vein Sword erupted with dazzling starlight, and he formed the Taixu Nine Transformations Seal with both hands, unleashing a massive surge of spiritual power like a galaxy pouring down.

Twelve star altars instantly appeared on the seabed, each projecting different fragments of spacetime.

"Nine Transformations of the Void: Star River Reversal!"

The underwater space suddenly distorted, and the tentacles of the octopus monster grew backwards in the galaxy.

Palace Master Teng Lihui's Yaohua Mirror reflected the monster's weakness, revealing the location of its life soul core.

"Lord Gong, stab its third vertebra!"

Gong Linghan's ethereal sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, and the sword energy of the Tribulation Transcending stage transformed into twelve golden lightning bolts, which accurately struck the demon god mark on the monster's third vertebra.

The shockwave from the explosion shattered the surrounding coral reefs, and the seawater boiled, creating towering waves thousands of meters high.
