Demon Domain

Qiongqi Realm, one of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, under the jurisdiction of the Yin-Yang Joy Palace, Dongyue City.

Yang Xuanwu, dressed in a black martial robe and carrying the Four Symbols Sacred Spear, Concealment his aura and strode into the city.

One after another, emaciated Mortals walked past him. In the dark corners of the city, there were all sorts of indescribable sordid things, which made Yang Xuanwu frown.

Compared to the Lu Wu Realm, the Mortals of the Qiongqi Realm live in utter misery.

Along the way, Yang Xuanwu witnessed too many things that made his killing intent boil.

Pregnant women about to give birth were kept in captivity, specifically for cesarean sections to extract their placenta and refine their Innate energy.

They abducted young boys and girls, extracted their heart's blood, and used it to make spirit medicine.

Using the human body as soil, an Evil Elixir is planted in the brain marrow, to be harvested periodically.

What Yang Xuanwu found even more intolerable was that such brutal acts often occurred in broad daylight, without any attempt to hide them.

Moreover, no cultivators would step forward to uphold justice, because in the eyes of the vast majority of the Qiongqi Realm cultivators, although they and Mortals are both human, one is in heaven and the other is on earth.

The latter's life is no different from that of lowly livestock; they are born to be taken and exploited by cultivators.

These ideas are deeply ingrained and cannot be changed overnight. Even the Xuanxin Sect, which is closest to the style of the Immortal Dao path, usually keeps to themselves and doesn't care about things that don't concern them.

Perhaps that's why they've been able to survive in this world teeming with demons.

After the outbreak of the Interface War, the Nine Great Immortal Sects knew that if they wanted to cultivate more cultivators, they needed to protect Mortals.

However, knowing is easier than doing. Decades have passed, and this situation has not improved at all. In fact, with the outbreak of the Interface War, it shows signs of intensifying.

Because the cultivators urgently needed to improve their strength, and unable to invade the Nine Phoenix Realm and the Lu Wu Realm, they had no choice but to attack the beings of their own realm.

This has resulted in the Mortal have died at the hands of native cultivators and Yaomo of the Qiongqi Realm over the past few decades being no less than the number of Mortals who have died at the hands of Nine-Phoenix Realm Experts.

Such short-sighted actions undoubtedly further stifle the war potential of the Qiongqi Realm.

As a result, the Lu Wu Realm grew stronger with each battle, while the Qiongqi Realm grew weaker and weaker, and to this day, it is much weaker than when the war first began.

If it weren't for the Seven Great Fiend Demons leading numerous Fierce Beasts to maintain order, the Qiongqi Realm would probably have fallen long ago.

It's no wonder they were willing to cede territory to request support from the Lu Wu Realm; they were simply powerless to make any progress.

At the same time, during his travels in the Qiongqi Realm, Yang Xuanwu gained a deeper understanding of the word "demon".

This is not a difference in the nature of power, but a difference in ideology.

Those who practice Demon Dao Cultivation Method are not necessarily Demon Dao cultivators.

However, those who possess Demon Dao ideas are definitely Demon Dao cultivators.

In the eyes of most Demon Dao cultivators, the living beings in this world can only be divided into two categories—"I" and other living beings.

Apart from myself, there is nothing that cannot be killed.

Talking about humanity with the Demon Dao is like casting pearls before swine.

Yang Xuanwu was equally decisive in killing, but he never attacked Mortal, and most of the other members of the Yang Household were the same.

They can kill Cultivators without batting an eye, but they will generally show mercy to Mortals and retain a sliver of kindness, because the foundation of the Cultivation World is these fragile Mortals.

"Um?"

Just as anger was rising in his heart, Yang Xuanwu suddenly felt two malicious gazes falling on him.

He subtly released his senses, and the faces of two greedy cultivators on the second floor of a distant pavilion appeared in his mind.

"Senior brother, when are we going to make our move?" the thinner, monkey-faced cultivator asked, his tone somewhat impatient.

"No rush. We should keep a low profile in Dongyue City. Once this guy leaves the city, we'll intercept and kill him. A Martial Dao cultivator at the Aperture Opening stage is a great tonic. After refining him into Blood Elixir, it will be enough to greatly increase our cultivation!" The chubby senior brother stroked his large, shiny bald head, licked his lips, and grinned maliciously.

In order to open up more Apertures in the Aperture Opening Realm, Yang Xuanwu had been suppressing his Martial Dao cultivation and had not made a breakthrough. Therefore, in the eyes of his fellow disciples, he was just an ordinary Qi Aperture Opening Martial Cultivator was not difficult to intercept and kill.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, senior brother!" The thin junior brother nodded.

As Spirit Transformation cultivator have cultivated their Primordial Spirits, Yang Xuanwu could not hide the fact that the two Nascent Soul Cultivators were exchanging words.

A slight smile played on his lips, a hint of mockery flashing deep in his eyes.

After touring Dongyue City, Yang Xuanwu collected some Martial Dao resources unique to the Qiongqi Realm and then left.

They had only flown a hundred miles when a cold, blood-red light shot down from below.

"The two rats have finally shown themselves!" Yang Xuanwu suddenly spoke coldly, his body motionless, standing like a towering mountain in the sky. The blood-red light shot out, but shattered upon impact.

He reached out and grabbed, and although he only used his Martial Dao arts cultivation, when countless Apertures, as numerous as stars in the sky, appeared, the two cultivators who were hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to attack were immediately shocked and their expressions were extremely horrified.

They had never seen any Martial Dao cultivator possess so many Apertures. Was this the reincarnation of the Martial Ancestor?

"Run!!" the fat cultivator screamed in anguish, decisively burning his Essence Blood and activating Blood Escape, transforming into a streak of crimson light as he flew towards Dongyue City.

As a major city under the Yin-Yang Joy Palace, Dongyue City has several Spirit Transformation cultivators stationed there, enough to protect their lives.

However, how could these two possibly escape from Yang Xuanwu?

A large, golden hand slowly reached out and gently scooped up two Devil Cultivators, one fat and one thin, in its palm.

"Spare us, we are..."

Pfft!!

Before they could finish speaking, Yang Xuanwu squeezed them hard with a look of disgust, and blood flowed from between his fingers. The two men died instantly.

Having done all this, Yang Xuanwu took a step forward, his figure flashed, and he appeared a hundred miles away, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

After he left, two Divine Senses simultaneously probed out from Dongyue City, but after searching unsuccessfully, they slowly withdrew.
