Background / History

The Six Great Demonic Sects of Rakshasa Country discovered a fallen immortal's cave dwelling and offered the immortal's corpse to the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect. Its Sacred Son refined the corpse into an immortal puppet, rewarded the six sects with Rakshasa Country, and accepted them as branch sects. The branches intended to annihilate Great Xia, refine its billions of souls into demonic artifacts, and eradicate Rakshasa Country's Buddhist sects. 177

The sect had already been a threat to the Central Divine Dynasty for countless years. In an Immortal-Demon War more than ten thousand years earlier, nine Demon Lords, dozens of Demon Generals, and thousands of demonic beings devastated the Central Divine Realm and killed tens of thousands of Earth Immortals. A later expedition by Great Accomplishment Yuzhen Bodhisattva and other Buddhist powerhouses failed to permanently destroy even one Demon Lord. 300 466

After Lin Xuankong annihilated the Six Great Demonic Sects, the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect dispatched four Early Earth Demon experts to investigate in the region of Great Xia and the Lingtai Buddhist Sect. Their arrival demonstrated that the branch sects' destruction had drawn the attention of their parent sect. 184 189 190

Organization and Forces

• Demon Son Gang Gu — The sect's Holy Son. After merging with a trace of Heavenly Demon Power, he surpassed the former First Demon Lord in strength and became the sect's central authority. 373 517
• First Demon Lord Fanyu — Commanded twenty Demon Lords during the attack on the Wine Immortal Sect and directed the use of captured cultivators as hostages. 465 466
• Demon Lords — Accounts describe the sect as having either thirty-six or seventy-two Demon Lords; both figures emphasize that even its lesser-known Demon Lords were catastrophic threats to ordinary Earth Immortals. 279 382
• Demon Generals — Only demonic beings at Eighth Grade or above were recognized as Demon Generals. Feng Huolin alone commanded eight newly promoted Eighth-Grade Demon Generals. 279
• Demonic armies — Its invading forces included hundreds of thousands of First- to Third-Grade demonic beings, with other deployments numbering in the millions and led by twenty Demon Lords. 464 465
• Demon Artifact Grade Demon Generals — These enhanced generals were infamous for their strength; their Absolute Defense Demonic Armor was said to require Supreme Immortal Lord-level power to break. 372 382

Demonic Arts and Methods

Blood Sacrifice and Demonic Artifact Refinement

Most of the sect's Demonic Arts demand slaughter, sacrifice, torture, or the harvesting of Spirit Souls, resentment, flesh, blood, and bones. These practices were used both for cultivation and for refining or strengthening demonic artifacts. 536

• The sect's invasion targeted Profound Truth Jade Stone veins, accumulated resources, and large populations of cultivators and Earth Immortals. 408
• Captured cultivators were used as hostages during the Wine Immortal Sect campaign. 465 466
• Gang Gu's Curse of Time required immense blood sacrifices; increasing a Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Grade Demon General's cultivation by 100,000 years reportedly required at least 100,000 mortal-realm beings of Seventh Grade or higher. 449

Heavenly Demon Power

The sect received a trace of Heavenly Demon Power from the Upper Realm through the Xuan Yin Altar, but initially lacked a compatible Demonic Seed to control it. 372

• Gang Gu became the compatible Demonic Seed and fused with the power. 372 373
• The power was attributed to Thousand Illusions Sacred Monarch, an ancient Heavenly Demon of the Upper Realm. 430 468
• It strengthened the sect's Holy Lords and Sacred Generals, empowered mental arts at extreme distance, and enabled the Curse of Time. 318 430 449

Supreme Demonic Body

The Supreme Demonic Body, also called the Supreme Sacred Body or Hundred Thousand Demonic Bodies, was regarded as the sect's strongest art in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. 516 537 541

• Huanmo Demon Lord and Yellow Springs Demon Lord achieved it through the Integration Demonic Art. 515 516
• Gang Gu formed a greater version by absorbing more than 100,000 elite demonic beings and Demon Generals. 516 517
• A perfected Supreme Demonic Body was believed to guarantee survival through the Heavenly Demon Tribulation and eventual ascension to the Heavenly Demon realm. 516
• Lin Xuankong destroyed Huanmo and Yellow Springs' merged body, then later defeated and disintegrated Gang Gu's body. 516 523

Other Recorded Arts

• Nine Gates Heavenly Eye — A high-level investigative Demonic Art requiring the Twin Pupils Bloodline for ordinary practitioners to cultivate directly. 537 540
• Myriad Forms Demonic Art — Used by the sect's practitioners to condense multiple true-body avatars at immense energy cost. 578
• He Who Transforms Freely Heavenly Demonic Art — One of the sect's three great Heavenly Demonic Arts; even its incomplete disseminated portion could force a Layer Nine cultivator to Half-step Earth Immortal. 183
• Shocking Body Demonic Art — A powerful stunning technique whose activation consumed one million units of demonic energy. 541
• Heavenly Demon Array — Summoned a colossal Demonic Buddha whose voice could influence and demonize cultivators within the Crane Immortal Sect. 393

Major Campaigns

Invasion of the Immortal Realm

The Xuan Yin Demonic Sect initiated a large-scale Immortal-Demon War across the Central Divine Dynasty and the Lingtai Buddhist Domain. Early battles in the Eastern Region inflicted heavy losses on the human alliance before the sect fully deployed its Heavenly Demon Power. 365 369

Its strategic objectives included seizing resources, harvesting cultivators for blood sacrifice, and destroying the four outer regions of the Central Divine Dynasty. The Lingding Immortal Sect secretly communicated with the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect and sought to assist this plan from within the human side. 278 408

Heavenly Demon Pacification Order

The sect issued the Heavenly Demon Pacification Order throughout the Immortal Realm, demanding surrender and worship within three days. The simultaneous proclamation caused widespread panic, flight, and defection among cultivators. 372 373 376

Western Region Offensive

The sect deployed multiple armies toward the Western Region, including forces led by Heavenly Banner Demon Lord, Earth Fiend Demon Lord, and Feng Huolin Demon Lord. The Five Elements Immortal Sect's Grand Elder and accompanying Earth Immortals fled the region rather than face the advance. 377

At the Crane Immortal Sect, Thirty-Six Tribulations Demon Lord Pro Luo led an assault supported by eighty Demon Artifact Grade Demon Generals and the Heavenly Demon Array. 393

Battle of the Wine Immortal Sect

Fanyu led twenty Demon Lords and a vast demonic army against the Wine Immortal Sect. Unable to immediately breach Lin Xuankong's Hundred-Layer Luoshui Great Array, the invaders drove captured cultivators before their army to force the defenders into battle. 465 466

• Sky Eye Demon Lord used the Blissful Demonic Eyes to control more than 100,000 cultivators, including Earth Immortals and younger disciples. 468
• The army's confidence rested on the Heavenly Demon Power-enhanced Curse of Time and the belief that its Demon Lords were nearly impossible to kill. 468 486
• Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha's Heavenly Sword annihilated millions of demonic beings and Demon Generals, as well as all nineteen fleeing Demon Lords—including Fanyu—in a single strike. 492

Defeat and Aftermath

Despite the destruction of Fanyu's force, the sect's remaining armies did not immediately retreat. Three armies halted their advance toward the Crane Immortal Sect before redirecting toward the Wine Immortal Sect. 495

Lin Xuankong later led a coalition of Supreme Immortal Lord-level cultivators against the sect. The expedition followed his defeats of Huanmo and Yellow Springs, whose Supreme Demonic Body had been considered invincible. 515 516

Gang Gu attempted to reinforce himself by absorbing over 100,000 demonic beings and Demon Generals, but Lin Xuankong broke through his defenses, destroyed his body, and recovered a black talisman marked with blood-red patterns from the remains. 517 523

The sect's remaining veteran Demon Lords fled after Gang Gu's death. The Xuan Yin Demonic Sect was subsequently described as annihilated, while captured powerhouses were confined in the Demon Suppressing Grand Hall and its Demonic Arts were preserved in the Demonic Artifact Hall. 523 536 571
