The Great Luo Venerable Breaks the Demon Realm

The Chaos Current behind him gradually subsided, returning to silence like the receding tide of a raging sea. Only Chaos Origin remained, swirling in the void, as if savoring the tremor of being awestruck by the might of the Great Luo Dao. Ren Xiaoyao stood suspended at the edge of the boundary, his aura as vast and boundless as the abyss of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. An invisible Dao power radiated outwards from him, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding space—ripples that were not ordinary fluctuations, but rather the manifestation of the resonance of the Great Dao Resonance. Wherever the ripples spread, the Chaos Current automatically diverted and gave way, even the Primordial Chaos Origin trembled slightly, as if welcoming this newly ascended Great Dao powerhouse. A solemn atmosphere of submission filled the air. The golden and azure Dao power around him flickered, sometimes transforming into swirling Immortal Mist, sometimes condensing into chilling demonic flames, and finally merging into a round light shield, completely isolating the Primordial Chaos dust.

He looked down and saw a continent shrouded in inky black Demonic Baleful Energy stretching across the void. The Demon Peak mountains, rugged like the fangs of a ferocious beast, pierced the sky. Their bodies were covered in millennia-old Demonic Ice, its surface reflecting a chilling, eerie light. The remnants of High Antiquity Devil Creature Devil Creature, once world-destroying beings, were now curled up in grotesque postures within the Demonic Ice, their remaining malevolent Sha Qi still churning beneath the surface. A river of blood flowed ceaselessly, carrying the wails of countless vengeful spirits. Its dark red, viscous waters exuded a strong stench of blood and corrosion; every drop contained a potent poison capable of shattering even Golden Immortal's mind. Countless spirits floated on its surface. Countless fragmented souls, ravaged by Demonic Baleful Energy, let out mournful howls. They struggled to break free from the river's grip, but could only writhe in agony within the poisonous water, ultimately being corroded into wisps of black smoke. Layers upon layers of black demonic mist floated between heaven and earth, within which twisted ghostly figures darted about. These were the resentment of beings who had perished in the battles of the Demon Realm realm. Once tainted by the Spiritual Qi, they would frantically devour them, utterly consuming their souls. This was the demon Demon Realm, a place that terrified countless cultivators, a desolate wasteland filled with destruction and slaughter. Even sunlight could not penetrate the Demonic Baleful Energy's seal, and it was shrouded in eternal darkness year after year. Only the demonic fire and the red light of the blood river outlined a hideous silhouette between heaven and earth.

"The score with the Profound Heaven Great Emperor can be settled later." Ren Xiaoyao condensed a wisp of golden-blue Dao power at his fingertips. As the Dao power flowed, the majestic righteousness of the Immortal Dao and the sinister Sha Qi of the Demonic Dao could be faintly seen intertwining, like two dragons entwining each other, eventually merging into one, indistinguishable from one another. "Today, let's settle the karma of the Demon Realm." In the past, when he first entered cultivation, he was just an unknown rogue Rogue Cultivator. However, due to a chance encounter with the inheritances of both the immortal and demonic paths, he was hunted down by the seven Demon General under the Demon Emperor. He fled all the way from the Southern Jambudvipa to the Northern Nether Cold Abyss, and was forced to the brink of life and death several times. At the Soul Severing Cliff, he was almost burned to death by the Demon General's "Bone-Corroding Demonic Fire"; in the Netherworld Swamp, he accidentally ingested poisonous miasma, and his dantian was almost completely corroded by demonic poison. If it weren't for encountering the Primordial Chaos Origin Fragment... The Primordial Chaos Origin Fragment that once sheltered him had long since become a wisp of soul in the Demon Realm. He had never forgotten this grudge; it had taken root and sprouted in his heart like a seed. Now that his cultivation had reached its peak, the time for reckoning had finally come. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and with a slight movement, he moved like a shooting star piercing the void, instantly tearing apart the Boundary Domain Barrier —the boundary barrier, which was strong enough to block the passage of Golden Immortal Ancient Runes, was as thin as paper before the power of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. The energy shockwave that erupted when it shattered was like thousands of thunderbolts exploding simultaneously, causing the Demonic Fiend Qi of the Demon Realm below to surge by three-tenths. Countless low-level Devil Creature were instantly reduced to ashes in this shockwave, not even having time to scream. Only the high-level Devil Creature further away felt this terrifying pressure and prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.

The Demon Emperor Palace sits atop the Peak of Ten Thousand Demons. The entire palace is forged from Nine Netherworlds Profound Iron, its pitch-black walls towering a thousand feet high and a hundred feet thick, utterly indestructible. Engraved upon these Dao Patterns are Ancient Demonic Arts Demonic Runes patterns, each containing the profound mysteries of ancient demonic arts, painstakingly crafted by successive Demon Emperor. A thick, inky Demonic Fiend Qi pervades the palace year-round, flowing almost tangibly, capable of corroding the soul and dissolving immortal Immortal Essence. Even Golden Immortal level cultivators find it difficult to linger within this Demonic Fiend Qi. Nine coiled dragon Demonic Pillar stand around the palace, their shafts entwined with living Netherworld Poison Dragon. Black Flames constantly spew from their mouths, making the palace appear even more sinister and terrifying. The dragons' scales are as smooth as black jade, yet exude deadly poison. They vigilantly scan their surroundings, ready to attack without hesitation should any enemy approach. At this moment, the Demon Emperor sits... On the Nine Dragon Demonic Chair, carved from the skeletons of nine Ancient Demonic Dragon dragons, their Dragon Head were ferocious, their claws sharp, and Black Demonic Flame constantly spewed from their mouths. Countless Demonic Core were inlaid on the back of the chair, radiating dense Demonic Essence. Each Demonic Core originated from a Golden Immortal -level cultivator, a bloody testament to the Demon Emperor's rule over the Demon Realm. The Demon Emperor wore Black Gold Demonic Robe, the hem embroidered with a sky full of Demonic Star Pattern. Black Gold demonic flames burned fiercely around him, like an inextinguishable Netherworld Fire, making his figure appear even more majestic and terrifying. His face was resolute, with a vertical eye on his forehead, its gaze flashing with bloodthirsty red light. He exuded an aura of supreme dominance; he was none other than Mo Tianhao, the overlord who had ruled the Demon Realm for ten thousand years. His fingers lightly tapped the armrests, each tap causing the Demonic Essence of the entire hall to vibrate, revealing his absolute control over the Demon Realm Realm's Dao.

A palm-sized Demon Emperor Seal hovered above his head, its surface inscribed with the words "Demon Suppression." The ancient and powerful characters emanated an unparalleled authority to suppress countless beings in the Demon Realm Demon Realm. It was a supreme treasure passed down through the ages, containing a wisp of the remnant soul power of High Antiquity Devil Ancestor, and a symbol of the Demon Emperor's rule over the Demon Realm. At this moment, the Demon Emperor Seal was slowly rotating, and beams of black light shot out from it, merging into the restrictions of the Demon Emperor Palace, maintaining the majesty of this sacred land of the Demon Realm. Wherever the beams of light passed, the air was corroded with tiny cracks, revealing the terrifying power of this supreme treasure.

Suddenly, a deafening roar shook the universe! The dome of the Demon Emperor Palace shattered, and countless Nine Netherworlds Profound Iron Bricks and Tiles, each weighing a thousand pounds, rained down, carrying Demonic Fiend Qi. They crashed onto the palace floor, scattering Heavenly Fire everywhere. The hard ground was blasted into bottomless craters, and the Demonic Fiend Qi released as the bricks shattered caused the Demon Soldiers inside the hall to tremble uncontrollably. A golden-blue beam of light pierced through the thick clouds of Demonic Baleful Energy, crashing down with the force of World Creation. Wherever the beam passed, the Demonic Fiend Qi melted away like snow meeting the blazing sun, revealing a clear void—this beam of light was not ordinary energy, but rather condensed from Primordial Chaos Dao Power, carrying the power to purify all evil. It caused the Demonic Fiend Qi throughout the Demon Emperor Palace to tremble, and the Netherworld Poison Dragon around the palace roared in terror, shrinking back, not daring to look directly at the beam's sharpness. They felt a suppression from the depths of their souls, as if they were facing the natural enemy of the Demon Realm realm.

"Insolence!" the Demon Emperor roared, his voice like Nine Netherworlds from the depths of hell, shaking the entire Demon Emperor Palace. The Demonic Pillar within the hall hummed, as if they were about to collapse at any moment. The Demonic Essence energy contained in his voice caused the eardrums of the Demon Soldiers below to bleed, yet they dared not utter a sound of complaint. He suddenly raised his hand, Demon Emperor Seal above his head instantly swelled to ten thousand feet, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-tall, ferocious Demonic God Phantom — Demonic God with a blue face and fangs, blood-red eyes, and thick chains wrapped around his body, covered with barbs that exuded a chilling aura. Six pairs of Black Wings sprouted from his back, and with each flap, countless black wind blades howled forth, enough to Sky-Rending Strike. With eyes burning with the fire of destruction, he slammed into the pillar of light. "Boom!" The two forces collided violently in the center of the palace, unleashing a world-destroying Energy Impact that spread in all directions like a tsunami. The pillars of the Demon Emperor Palace shattered in response, and countless Demon Soldiers were thrown into the air by the shockwave before they could even scream. Their bodies shattered inch by inch in the Energy Turbulence, turning into a cloud of blood mist. The thick stench of blood and Demonic Fiend Qi mingled together, making people nauseous. The palace instantly became a living hell. The surviving Demon Soldiers fled frantically, but most of them were swallowed up by the aftershocks of the energy. Only a few Golden Immortal- level Demon General survived by chance, but they were also covered in wounds and in a sorry state.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Ren Xiaoyao emerged, stepping into the light. His golden and azure Primordial Chaos Dao Power flowed around him, forming a faint light screen. Runes flickered on the screen like stars in the night sky; Demonic Fiend Qi that approached was instantly dissolved by the Power of Creation contained within the Dao power, leaving not even a ripple. He looked indifferently at the Demon Emperor, his eyes showing no fear, only an icy calm, as if the Lord of the Demon Realm before him was nothing more than an insignificant ant. "In the past, you sent your seven Demon General to hunt me down, from the Southern Jambudvipa to the Northern Nether Cold Abyss, repeatedly trying to kill me. Today, it is time to repay that debt." His voice was not loud, yet it carried the majesty of the Great Dao, echoing clearly in the chaotic hall, causing every surviving Devil Creature to feel a chill run down their spine.

"Ren Xiaoyao?" The Demon Emperor's pupils constricted, his face filled with disbelief. He stared intently at the aura surrounding Ren Xiaoyao —a terrifying power that transcended both immortals and demons, carrying the majesty of the Great Dao, making him feel apprehensive from the bottom of his heart. "You actually broke through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal!" He had personally sensed Ren Xiaoyao's aura and knew that he possessed two completely different powers, one from the immortal path and one from the demonic path. He had thought that this heaven-defying cultivation method would inevitably backfire, ultimately resulting in his soul being scattered. But he never expected that not only did the other party not... Death, ironically, allowed him to successfully fuse with the Immortal and Demonic Power, achieving the Great Luo Dao Fruit. After the initial shock, the Demon Emperor's eyes blazed with overwhelming battle intent. The Black Gold demonic flames surrounding him intensified, threatening to burn the entire palace to the ground. The temperature in the air rose sharply, the ground began to melt, and black magma slowly flowed along the cracks, evaporating the blood mist within the hall into acrid steam. "Even if you become a Great Luo, the Demon Realm is not a place for you to run rampant! I have ruled the Demon Realm for ten thousand years, commanding hundreds of millions of Demon Soldiers. How dare you, a mere brat, act so presumptuously!"

Before he finished speaking, the Demon Emperor raised his hand and waved it. Endless Demonic Fiend Qi converged from all directions, surging into his palm like a tidal wave, condensing into thousands of pitch-black Demon Blade —each Demon Blade gleaming with a chilling light, about three feet long, its blade covered in corrosive runes. As the runes flowed, they emitted a deadly poisonous aura, Black Flames swirled around the edges of the blades, enough to incinerate even the soul. These Demon Blade rained down on Ren Xiaoyao, densely packed, blotting out the sky and completely blocking out the light. The entire hall was instantly plunged into darkness, leaving only the piercing whistling of the Demon Blade cutting through the air, so ear-piercing it seemed to tear at one's eardrums. As the Demon Blade flew, the runes flickered, the poisonous mist and demonic flames intertwining to form a deathly curtain, enveloping Ren Xiaoyao, attempting to completely devour him.

Ren Xiaoyao neither dodged nor evaded. His Primordial Chaos Dao Power instantly transformed into a semi-transparent protective light screen around him. Fine Primordial Runes flowed across the screen, making it like the most solid armor, emitting a faint golden light. "Clang, clang, clang—" Countless Demon Blade collided with the light screen, instantly shattering into Heavenly Demon. Not even a crack could be left on the screen. The crisp sound of metal clashing against metal was incessant, like a Battle Song. He flashed, appearing before the Demon Emperor as if by Teleport. His speed was so fast that even the Demon Emperor couldn't react— Grand Unity Golden Immortal had already mastered the Law of Space, capable of Teleport. With a mere gesture, his figure left a faint afterimage in the void, as if he had never moved. The World-Breaking Sword in his hand instantly burst forth with boundless radiance. On the Primordial Chaos- level sword blade, Dragon Phoenix Phantom shook the universe, containing boundless majesty, while the phoenix's cry was clear and moving, carrying the vitality of creation. Golden-Azure Dual Color Sword Qi intertwined and transformed into a colossal sword that could cleave through heaven and earth and tear apart the laws of Principle. It fiercely slashed towards the Demon Emperor's head. Wherever the Sword Qi passed, space was torn open with a long rift, revealing the dark Void Turbulence within.

"You're courting death!" The Demon Emperor hurriedly activated the Demon Emperor Seal to block, while his towering Demonic God Phantom simultaneously unleashed a punch, the force of which howled and carried the power to destroy everything, hurtling towards the World-Breaking Sword. "Clang—" A deafening metallic clang rang out as the Sword Qi, imbued with Primordial Chaos Dao Power, collided with the power of the Demon Emperor Seal, unleashing a terrifying energy surge. Like an atomic bomb explosion, the entire Demon Emperor Palace shook violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment. The remaining Demonic Pillar within the hall shattered completely, debris and demonic flames intertwining... Together, they formed a chaotic Purgatory. The Demon Emperor was forced back repeatedly, the Nine Dragon Demonic Chair beneath his feet trembling violently. His tiger's mouth instantly split open, black demonic blood dripping from his fingertips onto the ground, corroding small holes. A mouthful of black demonic blood also spilled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with horror—he hadn't expected that Ren Xiaoyao, who had just broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal, would possess such terrifying power, far exceeding his imagination. The power of this attack was already close to the level of the mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, making him feel unprecedented pressure.

"Your Devil Cultivation Method are useless against me." Ren Xiaoyao pressed forward relentlessly, each step leaving a deep chasm in the palace floor. Primordial Chaos Dao Power spread along the chasms, dissolving all Demonic Fiend Qi and freezing magma into black rock wherever it passed. "The Demonic Essence you rely on for survival is nothing more than nourishment for my Dao power." He swung his sword, the Golden-Azure Dual Color Sword Qi tearing through the Heavenly Demon flames, carving a deep, bone-revealing wound on the Demon Emperor's chest. Black demonic blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly weakening the Demon Emperor's aura by three-tenths, and the demonic flames on his body dimmed considerably— Primordial Chaos Dao Power inherently contains both creation and destruction attributes, naturally restraining Demonic Fiend Qi. The Demonic Essence at the wound not only failed to heal but was also continuously eroded by the Primordial Chaos Dao Power, causing the Demon Emperor excruciating pain.

The Demon Emperor was both shocked and enraged. Feeling the rapid loss of his Demonic Essence, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He knew that if he didn't fight to the death today, he would surely die. His Demonic Essence surged wildly, attempting to detonate the Demon Emperor Seal above his head and perish together with Ren Xiaoyao — the Demon Emperor Seal was a supreme treasure of the Demon Realm. Once detonated, it would be enough to severely injure Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and might even turn the entire Peak of Ten Thousand Demons into scorched earth. The two characters "Demon Suppression" on the Demon Emperor Seal shone even brighter, emitting a dazzling black light. The remnant soul power of the High Antiquity Devil Ancestor was fully activated, and a terrifying Destructive Aura spread out. The entire Demon Emperor Palace trembled under this aura. Countless Demonic Runes flew out from the Demon Emperor Seal, wrapping around the Demon Emperor's body, causing his aura to surge instantly. The vertical eye on his forehead opened, shooting out a jet-black beam of light containing the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Destruction.

"Trying to self-destruct? Too late." Ren Xiaoyao's eyes turned cold. He flicked a wisp of milky-white Chaos Origin Qi from his fingertip. This energy, seemingly weak, contained the power of the beginning of all things, the Origin Power of the Primordial Chaos Great Dao. It instantly invaded the Demon Emperor's body. Wherever the Chaos Origin Qi passed, the Demon Emperor's wildly circulating Demonic Essence was instantly frozen, like a frozen river, unable to flow anymore, completely sealing off the circulation of his Demonic Essence. The primordial Chaos Origin was the source of all things, restraining all forms of energy, and Demonic Essence was no exception. The black light on the Demon Emperor Seal dimmed instantly, and the Destructive Aura dissipated. Immediately afterward, Ren Xiaoyao struck the Demon Emperor's chest with a palm. The Primordial Chaos Dao Power rampaged through the Demon Emperor's meridians, rupturing them inch by inch. The Demonic Core also developed dense cracks, and black demonic blood gushed from the Demon Emperor's seven orifices, making him look extremely miserable. The demonic flames on his body were completely extinguished, and his aura was as weak as a candle in the wind.

The Demon Emperor's aura instantly deflated, like a punctured balloon. He stared at Ren Xiaoyao in disbelief, his eyes filled with resentment and venom. "How dare you! I am the Lord of the Demon Realm, how dare you hurt me!" He had ruled the Demon Realm for ten thousand years, and had never been so humiliated, never been so crushed. Even during the great war with the Immortal Realm, he could hold his own against Grand Unity Golden Immortal, but now he was utterly powerless against a Grand Unity Golden Immortal who had just broken through. This filled him with extreme humiliation and fear.

Ren Xiaoyao, too lazy to waste words, kicked the Demon Emperor away. Like a kite with a broken string, the Demon Emperor crashed heavily onto the Nine Dragon Demonic Chair. The sturdy chair instantly shattered into countless fragments, the flying wood chips carrying a dense Demonic Fiend Qi, but all dissolved upon approaching Ren Xiaoyao. "Get lost!" A cold shout, imbued with the power of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, exploded in the Demon Emperor's ears like thunder. The Demon Emperor, as if struck by a heavy blow, spat out a mouthful of black demonic blood. His body felt as if pierced by thousands of steel needles, the pain so intense it pierced his very soul. Trembling—Da Luo Dao Wei had not only injured his physical body but also his soul. His sea of consciousness was violently shaking, and his Primordial Spirit was on the verge of collapse. He dared not linger for a moment, enduring the excruciating pain within his body, and transformed into a streak of black light, fleeing the Demon Emperor Palace in a sorry state. He didn't even have the courage to look back, leaving only a venomous roar echoing in the air, "Ren Xiaoyao, this Emperor will definitely tear you to pieces!" The black light swept across the sky, and the Devil Creature along the way all gave way, not daring to stop this fleeing Lord of the Demon Realm in his sorry state.

Having dealt with the Demon Emperor, Ren Xiaoyao's gaze turned to the depths of the Demon Emperor Palace. There, a faint, ancient, and pure energy fluctuation emanated, like the breathing of a slumbering beast. Even through the layers of palaces, he could feel the heart-pounding power. He had already sensed it through his Primordial Chaos Dao Power; that was the Demon Realm Demon Ancestor Treasury, left behind by the High Antiquity Devil Ancestor. It contained countless treasures of the Demon Realm and High Antiquity Cultivation Method, the most core secret of the Demon Realm. Successive Demon Emperor regarded it as the foundation of their lineage, heavily guarding it and even setting up countless killing formations and restrictions. The cultivators didn't even have the right to approach. With a swift movement, he flew towards the treasure vault. The numerous restrictions along the way were useless in the face of his Primordial Chaos Dao Power —those killing formations, illusion formations, and defensive formations personally set up by the Demon Emperor, containing rich Demonic Essence energy enough to trap Golden Immortal, were instantly shattered by a gentle touch of his Primordial Chaos Dao Power, unable to form even the slightest obstacle. The Demonic Essence energy that erupted when the formations shattered was instead absorbed by Ren Xiaoyao's <Primordial Chaos Heaven Devouring Art>, turning into nourishment for his Dao Power, making the Primordial Chaos Dao Power around him even purer.

Soon, Ren Xiaoyao arrived at the treasure vault's gate. The gate, crafted from Chaos Demonic Stone, stood a hundred zhang tall and fifty zhang wide, incredibly heavy. High Antiquity Demonic Runes Demonic Runes inscribed upon it, each slowly flowing and radiating terrifying pressure. These were seals laid down by the High Antiquity Devil Ancestor, designed to protect the treasures within, remaining indestructible through countless ages. Even a full-force attack from Grand Unity Golden Immortal would find it difficult to leave a mark. Chaos Demonic Stone was the hardest ore in the Demon Realm, a hundred times stronger than Nine Netherworlds Profound Iron, difficult even for ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal to easily break. The Demonic Runes on it contained the Daoist essence of the High Antiquity Devil Ancestor, capable of... Automatically absorbing the Demonic Essence of heaven and earth to maintain the power of the seal, Ren Xiaoyao raised his hand, and the Primordial Chaos Dao Power condensed into a huge palm print. The palm print was covered with intricate Primordial Runes, exuding the power of World Creation, and slammed it hard against the gate. With a crisp "crack," like a thunderclap, the incomparably sturdy Chaos Demonic Stone gate shattered, and countless fragments flew, carrying a rich High Antiquity aura, crashing into the ground and forming deep pits, revealing the dazzling scene inside. An even purer energy wave surged from the treasure vault, making Ren Xiaoyao feel a surge of excitement.

Within the treasure vault, a dazzling array of jewels assaulted the senses, almost blinding one. Intense energy fluctuations surged like a tidal wave, making one feel as if immersed in an ocean of energy. Countless rare magical materials were piled into small mountains, resembling a continuous mountain range. Among them were rare treasures seldom seen in the outside world, such as Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice, Nine Netherworlds Demonic Iron, and Chaos Demonic Crystal. The Ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Mystic Ice was pure white, radiating a bone-chilling cold, yet containing pure, yin-cold power, enough to allow cultivators to break through bottlenecks in their ice-based Cultivation Method; the Nine Netherworlds Demonic Iron was as black as ink, its surface... Shimmering with a metallic luster, these are top-tier materials for forging Devil Artifact. Devil Artifact forged from them are not only indestructible but also contain terrifying Demonic Baleful Energy power. Chaos Demonic Crystal, on the other hand, are a deep black, containing abundant Chaos Power within, like stars slowly revolving in the night sky. This power is enough to allow Golden Immortal to break through their bottleneck and even touch the threshold of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. These demonic materials exude rich Demonic Essence energy fluctuations, intertwining to form a visible Energy Torrent that flows slowly within the treasure vault, nourishing everything within.

Dozens of Ancient Demonic Artifacts floated in mid-air, orbiting the center of the treasure vault like stars. Some shimmered with a chilling light, some were wreathed in Black Flames, and some exuded an aura that devoured everything. One "Soul Devouring Demonic Sword" was pitch black, its blade covered with barbs, radiating a murderous Sha Qi powerful enough to Shaking the Soul. The sword was engraved with High Antiquity Demonic Runes and was rumored to be able to devour the souls of living beings to strengthen itself. It had once slain countless Golden Immortal level cultivators, and faint traces of blood and fragments of souls remained on its blade. Another artifact, the "Sky Covering Demonic Shield," was circular and forged from the Ten-Thousand-Year Demonic Tortoise Shell, its surface engraved with defensive... The shield is adorned with Demonic Runes, its core inlaid with a massive Demonic Core capable of withstanding a full-force attack from Grand Unity Golden Immortal, even capable of distorting space to neutralize the power of the attack. It also possesses a pair of "Heaven Burning Furnace Netherworld Demonic Claws," their tips gleaming with a ghostly green poisonous light, containing an incurable Netherworld poison that kills instantly upon contact. Even Grand Unity Golden Immortal, once scratched, will be corroded by the poison and find it difficult to heal. Furthermore, there are numerous Ancient Demonic Artifacts such as the "Heaven-Burning Furnace," the "God Slaying Bow," and the "Soul Locking Chain," each radiating world-destroying power. If these fell into the hands of an ordinary cultivator, they would be enough to shake up a region and unleash countless bloody storms.

In the corner, a jet-black "Nine Netherworlds Demonic Lotus" slowly bloomed. Its petals, layered upon layered, resembled black Glazed Ice, crystal clear, radiating pure Power of Life and Demonic Fiend Qi —two completely different forces perfectly fused together, not conflicting but complementing each other, forming a wondrous balance. It was an excellent material for refining top-grade Pills and Law Treasure, its value even far exceeding that of ordinary Ancient Demonic Artifacts. Legend has it that consuming its lotus seeds could instantly repair soul injuries and enhance cultivation by a thousand years. Even the soul damage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal could be healed in a short time, and it could even make a cultivator's Dao Heart more stable, preventing them from going astray. A faint black mist swirled around the demon lotus, the purest Demonic Fiend Qi, yet it was bound by the Power of Life of the demon lotus, forming a wondrous aura. Those who approached were nourished by both forces simultaneously, neither being corroded by the Demonic Fiend Qi nor unable to absorb its essence.

Deeper still, a fist-sized "Demon Ancestor Dao Fruit" floated within a crystal coffin. The coffin, crafted from millennia-old Ice Crystals, was crystal clear and perfectly preserved the Dao Fruit's energy, preventing any loss. The Dao Fruit was deep purple, its surface flowing with the Daoist essence of the High Antiquity Devil Ancestor, as if countless stars were floating within it. It emanated a powerful energy fluctuation that shook the very soul, containing the High Antiquity Devil Ancestor's understanding of the Great Dao, inspiring awe in those who approached. This Dao Fruit was forged by the High Antiquity Devil Ancestor over millions of years of cultivation, containing Devil Ancestor understanding of the Great Dao and boundless Demonic Essence. Refining it would not only instantly boost one's cultivation but also grant insight into the essence of the Demon Realm's Great Dao, potentially even giving one a chance to touch the threshold of Quasi-Saint. Even Grand Unity Golden Immortal would be driven mad by its allure. Surrounding the Dao Fruit were streaks of black light, protective forces left by the High Antiquity Devil Ancestor to prevent it from being easily seized by outsiders.

Ren Xiaoyao showed no hesitation, waving his hand to summon his Storage Ring Storage Ring —a Primordial Chaos treasure with boundless internal space, large enough to contain mountains and rivers, even forming its own Small World, specifically for storing various treasures and resources. A massive suction force erupted, drawing all the treasures from the vault into the Storage Ring: rare demonic materials surged in like a tide, automatically arranging themselves neatly under the pull of the Ancient Demonic Artifacts; the Ancient Demonic Artifacts obediently submitted, no longer emitting a terrifying aura, flying into the Storage Ring like docile pets; the Nine Netherworlds Demonic Lotus was uprooted, along with the surrounding Demonic Fiend Qi, and the black Glassy Light on its petals became even more dazzling; finally, he reached out and grasped the Demon Ancestor Dao Fruit, which felt warm to the touch, without the slightest hint of coldness. Instead, it carried a gentle energy, and a vast amount of information flooded into his sea of consciousness like a burst dam. Among these were the cultivation insights of the High Antiquity Devil Ancestor, recording the secrets of how to cultivate Devil Cultivation Method to their ultimate form, including methods for condensing Demonic Essence, ways to break through bottlenecks in Devil Cultivation Method, and even the Devil Ancestor's High Antiquity "Demon Ancestor Indestructible Body" cultivation method; there were also the supreme secrets of the Demon Realm —including the High Antiquity grudges between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm, the hidden locations of Realm Passage, the truth behind the Ancient God-Demon War and demons, and the Forbidden Land hidden deep within the Demon Realm. A smile curled at the corner of his lips. With these treasures, especially the insights from the Demon Ancestor Dao Fruit, his Primordial Chaos Dao Power would become even purer, his understanding of the Great Dao would reach a higher level, and breaking through to the mid-stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm would be just around the corner.

Just as Ren Xiaoyao was about to leave, a deafening Demonic Roar erupted outside the treasure vault. The roars of countless Demon Soldiers and the furious shouts of the Demon Venerable Lord intertwined, exploding like thunder. The entire Demon Emperor Palace trembled violently, as if it were about to be overturned by the sound waves, and even the Energy Torrent within the treasure vault were disturbed. He flashed and instantly appeared above the Demon Emperor Palace. His gaze swept across the area, and he saw the Demon Emperor, accompanied by ten Demon Venerable and leading a million Demon Soldiers, completely surrounding the Demon Emperor Palace, forming an impenetrable encirclement. The Demon Soldiers were neatly arranged, like a black tide, completely surrounding the Peak of Ten Thousand Demons, making it impossible for even a bird to escape. The Demon Emperor's aura had recovered by more than half, clearly thanks to some treasure or Secret Method. He stood at the front of the formation, his eyes filled with even more intense resentment and killing intent, staring intently at Ren Xiaoyao as if he wanted to devour him alive.

The Ten Demon Venerable are all powerful figures in the Demon Realm, each ruling a vast Demon Realm. Their cultivation is at the Golden Immortal Peak, just a step away from the Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Each possesses formidable strength and enjoys immense prestige in the Demon Realm, commanding countless Demon Soldiers and wielding immense power. The "Mountain-Splitting Demon Venerable," wielding Giant Axe axe, is imposing, standing three zhang tall with bulging muscles, resembling an iron tower. He possesses the strength to lift mountains and can cleave ten-thousand-zhang Demon Peak with a single axe strike. His Giant Axe is forged from Nine Netherworlds Profound Iron mixed with Chaos Demonic Crystal, weighing a staggering 100,000 jin. When he strikes, he can draw upon the power of heaven and earth, making his power boundless. The "Poison Heart Demon Venerable," clad in a black robe with a sinister face, is thin and pale, with eyes flashing with venomous light. He is skilled in using poison and intrigue, and his poison... The first is unparalleled in skill, who concocts the "Netherworld Soul-Corroding Poison," a colorless and odorless poison that, once ingested, corrodes both the soul and body, even Golden Immortal find it difficult to resist, ultimately dying in agony. Then there's the "Soul Devouring Demon Venerable," with a ferocious face and fangs bared at the corners of his mouth, skilled at devouring souls, able to refine the souls of others for his own use, enhancing his own cultivation. The "Heaven Burning Demon Venerable," surrounded by raging demonic flames, leaves nothing but desolation in his wake, able to control the mutated "Southern Bright Li Fire" demonic flames to incinerate everything. The "Ice Sealed Demon Venerable," covered in thick ice armor, can control extreme cold, freezing heaven and earth, imprisoning enemies in eternal ice, never to be reborn. The remaining five Demon Venerable each possess unique strengths, all ruthless killers, renowned throughout the Demon Realm.

At this moment, the Demonic Fiend Qi of the ten Demon Venerable Lords surged skyward. The Mountain-Splitting Demon Venerable's Demonic Baleful Energy transformed into a black dragon, its Dragon Head ferocious and its claws sharp, circling and roaring in the air; the Demon Lord of Poison Heart Demon Venerable Demonic Baleful Energy was surrounded by countless vengeful spirits, whose mournful Demonic Baleful Energy seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell; the Soul Devouring Demon Venerable Devouring's demonic aura condensed into a gigantic ghost mask, its fangs bared and its eyes gleaming with greed; the Heaven Burning Demon Venerable's Demonic Baleful Energy transformed into Heavenly Fire, burning fiercely and turning the sky crimson; the Demon Lord of Ice Sealed Demon Venerable's Demonic Baleful Energy transformed into a vast ice plain, its chilling aura freezing the air itself; the Demonic Baleful Energy of the remaining five Demon Venerable Lords also took on different forms, intertwining to form a massive demonic array—the "Ten Thousand Demons Soul Devouring Array." This array was the supreme demonic array of the Demon Realm. Driven by ten Golden Immortal Peak, this formation can draw upon the resentment of countless beings in the Demon Realm, transforming it into a devastating, god-devouring force. It forms a massive Black Vortex that devours all life and energy. Even Grand Unity Golden Immortal would find it difficult to break through; once drawn into the formation, they would be eroded by the power of countless resentments, their Soul Annihilation. Above the demonic formation, countless Demonic Runes rise into the sky, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-tall Demon Ancestor Phantom. This phantom echoes the remnant soul of the Devil Ancestor on the Demon Emperor Seal, emanating the terrifying aura of High Antiquity Devil Ancestor. The phantom's eyes are crimson, gazing down at Ren Xiaoyao with icy killing intent, as if it wants to devour him alive. Black lightning crackles around the phantom, each bolt containing the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Destruction, enough to Sky-Rending Strike.

A million Demon Soldiers stood in neat rows, wielding various Devil Artifact, exuding an aura of fearlessness—they were all the most elite warriors of the Demon Realm, hardened characters who had survived countless battles and crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Each of them was stained with blood, their eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light, showing no fear whatsoever. At this moment, they simultaneously released their oppressive aura, forming a terrifying momentum, like dark clouds pressing down, almost collapsing the sky and changing the color of the entire world. The Demon Soldiers roared obscure Demonic Incantation, their voices unified, transforming into a sonic attack that swept towards Ren Xiaoyao. The sonic waves contained dense Demonic Essence energy and resentment, attempting to disrupt his Dao Heart, plunging him into chaos and thus revealing an opening.

The Demon Emperor stood at the heart of the formation, his aura still somewhat weak, but nourished by the power of the demonic array, he had recovered most of his strength. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness and resentment as he looked at Ren Xiaoyao, his voice as cold as Nine Netherworlds: "Ren Xiaoyao! Leave behind the treasures of the treasury and the Demon Ancestor Dao Fruit, and I may spare your life! Otherwise, today I will bury you in this Ten Thousand Demons Soul Devouring Array, your Soul Annihilation, never to be reborn!" His voice contained the power of the demonic array, like a demonic cacophony, constantly assaulting Ren Xiaoyao's sea of consciousness.

The ten Demon Venerable also released their oppressive auras. The Mountain-Splitting Demon Venerable stepped forward and roared angrily, "Arrogant brat, how dare you trespass into the Demon Realm and steal the Devil Ancestor's treasure! Today, I will tear you to pieces as a warning to others!" His voice was like thunder, shaking the air. The Giant Axe in his hand trembled slightly, emanating a terrifying aura, as if it would strike a fatal blow at any moment. The Poison Heart Demon Venerable sneered, "So what if you are Grand Unity Golden Immortal? With the combined forces of the ten Demon Venerable and the Ten Thousand Demons Soul Devouring Array, even if you are Grand Unity Golden Immortal, you will not be able to escape! Today is your death day!" His smile was sinister, his eyes flashing with poisonous light, and he quietly condensed a wisp of colorless and odorless poisonous gas in his hand, ready to launch a sneak attack at any moment.

Ren Xiaoyao stood in the void, his primordial Primordial Chaos Dao Power flowing around him. Golden and azure light intertwined around him, forming a dazzling light screen. Sonic attacks that collided with the light screen were instantly neutralized, not even causing a ripple. Facing the encirclement of a million Demon Soldiers and ten Demon Venerable, he showed no fear whatsoever; instead, his fighting spirit intensified. His eyes burned with raging flames, like two erupting volcanoes. The Primordial Chaos Dao Power around him grew increasingly violent, and the golden and azure light intertwined to form a gigantic Dragon Phoenix Phantom, swirling behind him. The roars of the dragon and the cries of the phoenix resounded throughout the universe, carrying an indomitable fighting spirit. He gripped the World-Breaking Sword, its tip pointing directly at the center of the demon array. Primordial Chaos Dao Power continuously poured into the sword, making the Dragon Phoenix Phantom on the blade even clearer. The runes on the sword shimmered with Dazzling Light, radiating an aura of annihilation. "Want to snatch back the treasure? Then take it with your own skill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Xiaoyao swung his sword fiercely. Golden-Azure Dual Color Sword Qi energy soared into the Sword Qi, reaching a length of ten thousand feet. The sword energy contained the destructive and Power of Creation of the Primordial Chaos Great Dao, like Sword of the Heavenly God, carrying the might to cleave heaven and earth and tear apart the laws of Principle, fiercely slashing towards the Demonic Fiend Qi of the demonic array. Wherever the Sword Qi passed, space was torn open with a long rift, and black Void Turbulence surged, but was forcibly suppressed by the power of the Sword Qi energy, unable to spread. "Boom—" A deafening roar resounded as the Sword Qi and Demonic Fiend Qi crushed and devoured each other, the black Demonic Fiend Qi and the golden and azure Dao power... Intertwining and colliding in the air, they unleashed terrifying Energy Impact, like thousands of nuclear bombs detonating simultaneously. The entire world trembled violently, and the Demon Peak below was shaken to the point of collapse, its body cracking and countless rocks tumbling down, smashing into the Demon Soldiers Demon Soldiers below and instantly killing them all. The Blood River roared and surged, whipping up towering waves, and the vengeful spirits in the river let out mournful howls in the shockwaves before their souls were instantly scattered. Most of the demonic mist in the world was blown away, revealing the gloomy sky of the Demon Realm, where dark clouds rolled and lightning flashed, as if cheering on this fierce battle.

The Demon Ancestor Phantom above the demonic array roared, its voice shaking the universe, filled with boundless rage and killing intent. It raised its hand and unleashed a palm strike, the black palm print carrying the power to destroy everything, like a dark cloud blotting out the sun, hurtling towards Ren Xiaoyao. Wherever the palm print passed, the air was completely sucked out, forming a vacuum zone. Countless Demonic Runes flowed across the palm print, enhancing its power. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed, and instead of retreating, he advanced. The Primordial Chaos Dao Power surged wildly within his body, and the Dragon Phoenix Phantom around him let out a roar that shook the universe, merging with the power of the World-Breaking Sword. The World-Breaking Sword once again erupted with a dazzling light, the golden and azure Sword Qi condensing into an even more refined Sword Rainbow, slashing towards the Black Palm Seal. On the Sword Rainbow, the Power of Creation intertwined, forming a wondrous balance, radiating an aura of annihilation.

The Sword Rainbow collided with the Black Palm Seal, and with another earth-shattering roar, the Sword Rainbow instantly tore a huge crack in the Black Palm Seal. The Demonic Runes on the palm print shattered, and the Demon Ancestor Phantom let out a painful roar, its aura instantly weakening by three-tenths. However, the power of the demonic array continuously flowed into the Demon Ancestor Phantom, allowing its aura to quickly recover. The phantom raised its hand again, unleashing several more Black Palm Seal. At the same time, the ten Demon Venerable also made their moves. The Mountain-Splitting Demon Venerable's Giant Axe cleaved out a black axe light, the Poison Heart Demon Venerable's poison gas transformed into a black venomous snake, the Soul Devouring Demon Venerable's ghostly face spewed out a black pillar of light, the Heaven Burning Demon Venerable's demonic flames transformed into a huge fire dragon, and the Ice Sealed Demon Venerable's ice transformed into a huge ice cone. The other five Demon Venerable also unleashed their ultimate moves, and countless attacks swept towards Ren Xiaoyao, forming an impenetrable Attack Net, attempting to completely engulf him.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes remained calm as he wielded the World-Breaking Sword. Golden and azure Sword Qi rained down like a storm, deflecting attack after attack. The collision of Sword Qi and attacks sparked countless sparks, like a shower of stars falling from the sky. He trod through the void, his figure weaving through the attacks like a ghost. With each movement, he evaded countless fatal blows. Simultaneously, he continuously swung his Demonic Essence, unleashing Sword Qi imbued with Primordial Chaos Dao Power, attacking the weak points of the demonic array. The Demonic Runes on the array flickered, repairing the cracks torn by the Sword Qi. The Demon Soldiers also channeled their demonic energy into the array, strengthening its power. The black vortex grew increasingly violent, attempting to suck Ren Xiaoyao into it.

A more brutal battle had already broken out. Ren Xiaoyao was alone, facing the encirclement and suppression by millions of demon soldiers and ten demon kings, as well as the terrifying Ten Thousand Demons Devouring God Formation. He did not flinch at all. The Hongmeng Dao power around him became more and more violent, the fighting spirit in his eyes became more intense, and the boundary-breaking sword in his hand kept cutting out shocking... The sword energy that moved the world and the powerful men of the demon world launched an earth-shattering fight. The energy flow between heaven and earth surged turbulently. The evil energy intertwined with Hongmeng Dao power, forming a chaotic ocean of energy. The outcome of this battle will determine the fate of the demon world and will also affect the pattern of the entire three realms.
