Chapter 285
One group after another, the Loyal Heart Alliances martial arts masters and the wind spirits defeated Demon God Serpents demonic beasts. They eventually took down Serpent as well, ending his invasion. The other Spirit Kings did the same to their respective regions, leaving no hostiles behind.
They still had to deal with the remaining two caves Demon Gods and demonic beast, which were still running rampant. Hence, the ice and earth spirits immediately hunted down the Demon God and demonic beasts pouring out from the cave in Mount Nankun, Fujian Province, while the wind and fire spirits dealt with the ones that had come out of the cave in Mount Dabie, Henan Province. As they did earlier, the Loyal Heart Alliance collaborated with the wind spirits again.
One elemental group of spirits was already strong enough to stop a Demon God and demonic beasts. With two of their groups combined, eliminating their opponents became a lot easier.
Unfortunately, despite their quick response, the enemy still managed to severely damage the Central Plains in the short duration that they had been left unattended. Dozens of cities were destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people were killed. If not for the spirits, their world would have suffered even more losses.
The sudden appearance of the Demon Gods and demonic beasts frightened the people of the Central Plains. The thought of their world being destroyed instilled even more fear in them.
If the spirits had taken too long in exterminating the Demon Gods and demonic beasts, that fear would have spread throughout the Central Plains, plunging it into great chaos. They had to consider themselves fortunate to have only suffered this much devastation.
The people of the Central Plains began to revere the Loyal Heart Alliances martial arts masters even more, thinking they were the ones who stopped the Demon Gods and demonic beasts, not the spirits. As a result, the reputation of the Loyal Heart Alliance grew further.
While the spirits and the martial artists were stopping the Demon Gods and demonic beasts, Mu-Gun focused on sealing the caves that the spirits had discovered. In response, the Eternal Heavenly Demon Sect attempted to open up several more caves, but Mu-Gun took down the Demon Gods faster than they could progress with their plan.

Inside the Eternal Heavenly Demon Sects grand hall, Jo Geuk-Sang listened to Dong Cheon-Bangs report with a dejected expression.
What? There are only three Demon God Caves left? he questioned.
Yes. Only the caves at Mount Tian of Xinjiang Province, Mount Kunlun of Qinghai Province, and Mount Qilian of Gansu Province remain. They have yet to be discovered because they are located on the outskirts of the Central Plains, but considering the movements of the Thunder Gods incarnation, its only a matter of time before he finds them as well.
How long until the Demon God Cave at Mount Tian opens? Geuk-Sang asked again.
We still have to wait for another month.
A month, huh If we can hold on for that long, Demon God Chaos will be able to descend safely. That would allow us to return the humiliation we have suffered all at once. Unfortunately, Im not sure if we can last that long.
I dont know about the other two caves, but it would be difficult to find the Demon God Cave on Mount Tian even for the Thunder Gods incarnation. Chaos himself has created a barrier to completely conceal the energy coming out of it.
I know, but I still cannot help but be worried. That man has repeatedly exceeded our expectations.
Even so, he cannot possibly see through the barrier of Chaos, one of Hell Realms Great Demon Gods. There is no need for concern. If you are so worried, we can buy some time by unlocking the caves at Mount Kunlun and Mount Qilian, Cheon-Bang suggested.Thi/s chapter is updated by
That plan has already failed, has it not?
Those caves have progressed far more than the ones we opened earlier. Consequently, the Demon Gods they house have also regained the majority of their power. Even if the forced opening restricts their power, they will not be as weak. Moreover, the purpose of those caves demonic beasts is to stall for time. If they scatter as far as they can while wreaking havoc, it will likely take a month for the opposition to eradicate them. By the time they are done, the Demon God Cave at Mount Tian would already be opened in a complete state.
Upon learning about the demonic beasts, the people of the other provinces froze in fear, rendering them unable to do anything. Eventually, the demonic beasts successfully spread terror across the entire Central Plains.
Hearing the news, Mu-Gun, who had been focusing on finding the final cave, realized he had made a mistake. Although there would be some damage, he thought that the four Spirit Kings would be enough to slay all of the demonic beasts. However, the demonic beasts were stronger than he expected.
If he let the damage continue to accumulate, they would find themselves in a predicament. Although finding the last cave was important, he had to focus on the immediate threat for now. Hence, Mu-Gun temporarily stopped his search efforts and began to annihilate the Demon Gods and demonic beasts threatening the Central Plains.
Mu-Guns intervention swiftly turned the tide. Across the east and the west, he eradicated every demonic beast he could find, significantly decreasing their numbers. He also took out the two Demon Gods with ease.
The Demon Gods had become so strong that all the Spirit Kings could do was prevent them from running wild. Being tied down to keeping them in check was one of the reasons the spirits had difficulty in subjugating the demonic beasts. In return, they did manage to reduce the damages the Central Plains would have sustained by stopping them from reaching the people.
Unfortunately, by the time Mu-Gun exterminated most of the demonic beasts and killed the Demon Gods, they had already caused far too much destruction. Most of the regions around the Qinghai and Gansu Provinces now lie in ruins, and a big part of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Provinces had been destroyed.
Above all, more than a million people lost their lives. Mu-Gun couldnt help but blame himself. If he handled the Demon Gods and demonic beasts from the very beginning, their losses would not have been this severe. However, there was no use crying over spilled milk.
With one cave yet to be found, the threat of the Hell Realm was yet to be eliminated. For now, he had to focus on stopping the last Demon God.
Mu-Gun and the spirits spared no effort in finding the final cave. Since the two caves that opened recently were found in the Qinghai and Gansu Provinces, they conducted an extensive search around the Tibet and Xinjiang Provinces.
However, no matter how hard he searched, he did not find anything worthy of note. Hence, he eventually concluded that the last cave was not in the Tibet or Xinjiang Provinces and turned his attention to the Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces, which were less searched compared to the other places. When he failed to find anything there either, he began to feel troubled.
Where on earth is it?
Mu-Gun tried his best to rack his brains, but he came up with nothing. He knew that there was one last cave hidden out there somewhere. Without any clues or guesses, all he could do was randomly search around, but it was better than doing nothing.

At a grand canyon at Mount Tian of Xinjiang Province, one side of the earthen wall suddenly shook, seemingly threatening to collapse. A moment later, a black, oval-shaped portal appeared. A giant with huge horns and the face of an angry monkey jumped out of it, revealing pitch-black energy swirling around him like armor.
Having regained all his strength, Demon God Chaos descended onto the world. Following him, creatures with the face and torso of a monkey and the lower body of a giant came pouring out.
Chaos had four types of demonic beasts under him. The strongest and largest among them were the Golden Demonic Apes, and the weakest and smallest were the Blue Demonic Apes. The other two were the Silver Demonic Apes and the Crimson Demonic Apes.
The strength of his forces befitted his status as one of the Hell Realms Great Demon Gods. The Blue Demonic Apes possessed Absolute-Realm power despite being the weakest, while the Golden Demonic Apes were as strong as other Demon Gods.
Chaos waited until all the demonic beasts under his control had come out of the Demon God Cave and properly assembled behind him. Once everyone was out, the black portal disappeared.
Turning back to his subordinates, Chaos shouted, Finally, our most awaited moment has arrived! I grant you all freedom to destroy and violate this world to your hearts content!
His three thousand demonic beasts roared with joy and jumped down from Mount Tai. Once they were all gone, Chaos himself began to descend as well.
