The Situation in the Demon Realm, Di Shitian!
The Outer Demonic Realm was a world that Luohu successfully created in the Hunyuan Fourth Heaven. It is a world that is no weaker than the Heaven Realm and the Earthly Realm.
After hundreds of years of development, the Demon Realm is now incredibly powerful, especially with the three thousand Heavenly Demons left behind by Luohu.
Most of these Heavenly Demons served under Di Shitian, while a small number were recruited by Donghua, Taishang, Nuwa, and others.
Therefore, the situation in the Outer Demonic Realm is currently very complex.
In the center of the Demon Realm, this is the place where Luohu created the world. Its history is even longer than that of the Demon Realm itself. It was once a world of its own, and now it is the heartland of the entire Demon Realm, rich in spiritual energy, with its Daoist teachings flowing endlessly.
Inside a grand hall, Di Shitian sat on a lotus throne, the Twelve-Grade Black Lotus radiating a powerful Daoist aura. His own aura was so strong that it enveloped the hall, sending chills down one's spine.
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, the resistance between our realm and the Primordial Wilderness World is gradually weakening. Before long, we will be able to enter the Primordial World head-on. I wonder if the Demon Lord has any plans?"
The speaker was the Seven Profound Heavenly Demons, the leader of the Three Thousand Heavenly Demons, also known as the Seven Profound Demon Lord.
Di Shitian looked down at the restless crowd, his heart also filled with excitement. Hadn't all these years of waiting been for the purpose of invading the Primordial Wilderness world? He then spoke calmly:
"Hundreds of Yuanhui ago, the Demon Ancestor created countless things and opened the heavens of the Devil Dao, which is why we are here today. At the beginning of the creation, all parties in the prehistoric Primordial Wilderness were eyeing us covetously, so the Demon Ancestor transformed into the heavens and went away, becoming the Heavenly Dao with his body, so that the people of the Primordial World could not enter our Outer Demonic Realm. Only then did we have time to develop steadily."
"But those people from the Primordial Wilderness are still up to no good. They used their three corpses as incarnations to merge into my realm, plundering fortune and merit. Yet many people still chose them. I am heartbroken. Can you understand?"
After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent. No one knew what Di Shitian was going to say. Of the original three thousand Heavenly Demons, after so many years of development, less than two thousand were still willing to be loyal to Di Shitian. And that was only because of Luohu. They were waiting for Luohu's return so that they could kill their way back to the Primordial Wilderness World.
Actually, this isn't entirely Di Shitian's fault. After all, when he was first born, his cultivation was only at the Grand Unity. Later, when Luohu opened the heavens, he gained merit and thus became Quasi-Saint. However, the incarnations of Donghua and others were all Quasi-Saint at that time, with combat power at least at the Mid Quasi-Saint.
Di Shitian is quite capable to maintain his current position; otherwise, the entire Demon Realm would have been devoured by Donghua and his group, leaving him with the central land and over a thousand Heavenly Demons following him.
Just as everyone was deep in thought, Di Shitian suddenly looked down at someone with a sharp gaze, but asked in a natural manner, "Nine Nether Demon Lord, what do you think I should do?"
Seeing Di Shitian's expression, the Nine Nether Demon Lord instantly felt uneasy. He was merely at the peak of the Grand Unity realm; Di Shitian was asking him instead of others, which must mean he had ulterior motives. But at this moment, he could only step forward and bite the bullet to say:
"Your Demon Lord, the boundary between the Demon Realm and the Primordial Wilderness Main Realm is weakening, which means that the Demon Ancestor is about to return. We only need to wait for the Demon Ancestor to return, and then we can launch a counterattack on the Primordial Wilderness Main Realm. This is my humble opinion, and I hope Your Demon Lord will make a wise judgment!"
After speaking, the Nine Nether Demon Lord stood nervously to the side, quietly awaiting Di Shitian's meaning. However, Di Shitian suddenly burst into laughter, then looked at everyone and said, "Have you all heard what the Nine Nether Demon Lord said? What do you think, is this feasible?"
Before anyone could discuss it, the Seven Mysterious Demon Lord immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Demon Lord, this is absolutely impossible. Although the Demon Ancestor's cultivation is extraordinary, beyond our comprehension, he has already ascended to the heavens. If he wishes to return from the Heavenly Dao, he will certainly need our support. Only with sufficient fortune can he return smoothly."
"Therefore, we should now attack all directions, reclaim the continents occupied by others, gather our fortune, Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, and summon our ancestors back."
As soon as Qi Xuan finished speaking, another person stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Demon Lord, I support Demon Lord Qi Xuan. The eastern part of our Demon Realm has now been occupied by the Great Freedom Sky Demon, who has established a Demon Court and proclaimed himself Demon Emperor. He is truly the greatest enemy of our realm. What's even more infuriating is that those people actually betrayed the Demon Ancestor and the Demon Lord and joined the Demon Court. These people deserve to be killed!"
"The western part of my Demon Realm has been occupied by the Slaughter Sky Demon, who established the Seven Killings Demonic Cult, which is founded on killing and seizes the fortune of my Demon Realm. However, many people have followed him."
"The southern part of my Demon Realm has been occupied by the Primordial Sky Demon, who established the Yuanshi Demonic Cult to carry out its mission of education and has absorbed a large number of Demon Realm citizens. Moreover, his own cultivation level is not to be underestimated."
"The northern part of the Demon Realm has been occupied by the Creation Sky Demon King, who established the Creation Demon Kingdom and created countless races. Its strength is no less than that of the Demon Court."
"Therefore, we should take the initiative to reclaim the lost territory, and then gather our fortune to ensure the safe return of our ancestor."
The speaker was Wuxin Laozu, the ancestor of the Inner Demon Clan and the most senior Quasi-Saint among the Demon Clan. He had followed Luohu since the ancient times, and Di Shitian was able to fight against Donghua and others in the early stages entirely with his help.
As the words of the Heartless Ancestor fell, nearly 60% of the people in the hall stood up in support. Di Shitian merely glanced at them calmly, offering no opinion and ignoring the crowd. He simply turned to the Nine Nether Demon Lord and said:
What do you think?
All eyes in the hall were on the Nine Nether Demon Lord. They couldn't understand why His Demon Lord had repeatedly sought advice from this person today.
Jiuyou is merely one of the three thousand Heavenly Demons, and his cultivation level is only that of Grand Unity, not even Quasi-Saint. What's so special about him?
But at this moment, Jiuyou was no longer flustered. Instead, he raised his head and calmly looked at Di Shitian, an invisible aura emanating from him in the hall.
"You are not Jiuyou, who are you?"
The Seven Mysterious Demon Realm instantly sensed something was wrong. Their divine sense locked onto the Nine Netherworld, and their demonic eyes swept across it, but they found nothing, as if the person was shrouded in a thick fog.
Jiuyou ignored Qixuan, instead standing with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at Di Shitian and asking, "I'm certain I haven't revealed any flaws. How did you see through it?"
"A discerning eye!"
The two simple words from Di Shitian instantly startled everyone in the hall. Whether it was Jiuyou or the other Heavenly Demons, they all looked at Di Shitian in disbelief.
The name "Insightful Eye" doesn't sound particularly special, but it also has another name: "Demon Eye"!
This is a divine power created by Luohu, and it is on par with the Dharma Eye created by Hongjun. However, the difference is that since its creation, only Luohu has been able to use this divine power, and no other demons can learn it.
The ability to see clearly is not so much a supernatural power as it is a special path, a way of the mind.
"I see,"
Jiuyou suddenly realized and said jokingly, "It seems that I, the old ancestor, was tactless. It seems that everyone underestimated you. Your cultivation level should be more than just the Late Stage Quasi-Saint. The Demon Ancestor's judgment of people is still so high."
Di Shitian glanced coldly at Jiu You, as if no one could affect his state of mind.
"Although I can tell you are not Jiuyou, I do not know whose incarnation you are. That's why I wanted to see who you really are. I've never seen anyone do such a sneaky thing before!"
Although Di Shitian was born relatively late, he possessed all of Di Jun's memories, a fact known to very few.
However, this was the first time he had ever experienced arranging spies, and neither had Di Jun.
Jiuyou snorted coldly and said, "I have roamed the Primordial Wilderness for so long, and this is the first time I have been accused of petty theft. It is quite rare. I am very curious to know whether you are Di Shitian or Di Jun?"
Does it matter?
"Very important!"
"I am Di Shitian!"
Jiuyou nodded and said, "I also think you are Di Shitian. After all, in that situation, the chances of Di Jun surviving were zero!"
"Isn't this also partly your doing, Minghe Styx!" Di Shitian smiled, as if he wasn't talking about himself.
Jiuyou laughed heartily, "Not at all, not at all. I, your ancestor, merely made a brief appearance. The one who truly caused Di Jun's downfall was Donghua."
"Now that you've discovered me, I have no face to stay here any longer. Farewell!"
As soon as Jiuyou finished speaking, he instantly transformed into a drop of blood, then vanished into the void.
This happened so fast that no one in the hall had time to react, not even the Heartless Ancestor had time to make a move.
"Your Demon Lord, this..."
Before anyone could speak, Di Shitian gave a wicked smile and said softly, "Don't worry, he can't escape. Since he dared to come here, he won't be leaving alive!"
As soon as the words fell, a figure was slammed hard into the center of the hall. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Jiu You, who had just escaped—no, it should be the incarnation of the Minghe.
"Since you're here, why not stay a little longer, fellow Daoist?"
Despite the pain in his body, Jiuyou stood up and looked at the man in black beside him, saying in surprise, "The Three Corpses Technique? No, that's not right, this isn't the Three Corpses Technique."
He then looked at Di Shitian in shock and asked, "You've created a completely new method of attaining enlightenment?"
Di Shitian rose from the black lotus and instantly arrived at the center of the hall, standing beside Jiuyou.
A powerful aura made Jiuyou lose his footing. Looking at Di Shitian in front of him, he seemed to see Di Jun, the former demon lord who suppressed the world.
In the heyday of the demon race, they could be said to have suppressed the Primordial Wilderness. Kunpeng was the Demon Master and the head of all officials. There were also three emperors, Taiyi, Nuwa and Fuxi, as well as a Star God such as Xi He and Chang Xi.
Even the fearless Demon God Race submitted to the Demon race at that time, but unfortunately, the powerful Demon race eventually met its end.
"Di Shitian, this is merely a blood-bodied incarnation. You don't need to kill me to vent your anger, do you?" Jiuyou said unwillingly.
For the Ancestor Minghe, a Blood God Child incarnation is nothing special, but for his incarnation, the Slaughter Sky Demon, a Blood God Child incarnation is quite precious.
The boundary between the Demon Realm and the Primordial Wilderness Main Realm still exists, and the Minghe can no longer send the Blood God Child into the Demon Realm.
So try your best to avoid dying!
Di Shitian chuckled softly and said, "No, how could I bear to kill a fellow Daoist from the past?"
Just as Jiuyou was about to express his gratitude, he heard Di Shitian say, "However, I have recently created a new divine power. I would appreciate your evaluation and feedback, and please point out any shortcomings."
"Soul Search!"
Di Shitian struck Jiuyou on the head with a palm, and the Great Dao Power transformed into a flower that instantly entered Jiuyou's body and then his primordial spirit.
Jiuyou wanted to resist, but he couldn't do anything. He couldn't move his body, his Dao, or his primordial spirit.
However, his Great Dao and primordial spirit were fully revealed before Di Shitian, and all his past memories manifested within the black lotus like a movie.
This scene sent a shiver down everyone's spine in the hall, as if it were themselves, not Jiu You, being subjected to a soul-searching.
Because from ancient times to the present, no one has been able to observe the memories of a Grand Unity unless they forcibly step into the other person's space-time and then traverse space-time to observe this person's past memories.
However, this approach is very dangerous. If one is not careful, one will be swallowed up by the River of Time and Space and eventually become nourishment for the river. After all, the bottom of the River of Time and Space is the primordial world.
Nine Nether's memories unfolded scene by scene, beginning with the real Nine Nether's death, then being possessed by the Slaughter Sky Demon, refined into the Blood God Child, and finally returning to this world in that identity...
Nine Netherworlds' memories were fully revealed, but Di Shitian did not stop. His Soul Searching Divine Power continued, only this time a new Great Dao was added.
The Great Dao of Karma!
Because of the Nine Netherworlds, the Slaughter Sky Demon reversed back to its original form, and at this moment, the memories of the Slaughter Sky Demon began to manifest.
From the time Luohu created the heavens, the Minghe, in the form of Evil Corpse, transformed into the Slaughter Sky Demon and entered the land. It then forcibly converted a group of demons, lured some other Heavenly Demons to join it, established the Seven Killings Demonic Cult, and carved out the Western Region lands...
At this moment, Jiuyou was already extremely weak, as if he would be swept away by the wind at any moment.
However, it's understandable. Using supernatural powers like this to trace cause and effect would come at a price, but Jiuyou bore the brunt of it all.
The memories of the Slaughter Sky Demon were all extracted, but Di Shitian did not stop. Instead, he moved both hands simultaneously, and the Twelve-Grade World-Ending Black Lotus landed on Jiuyou's head.
The Great Path of Time and Space has appeared!
Di Shitian, using the Nine Netherworlds as a guide and cause and effect as a medium, directly invaded the body of the Minghe through the Dao of Time and Space.
Meanwhile, Minghe, who was cultivating in the Primordial Wilderness Blood Sea, suddenly felt a pang of fear, as if something major had happened.
Beneath it, Twelve Grades Karma Red Lotus bloomed, and boundless Great Dao Power transformed into karmic fire that enveloped the Minghe.
"Who dares to possess such profound knowledge, daring to invade the Ancestor's spacetime? They're courting death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Abi Yuantu sword, accompanied by the Slaughter Great Dao, and the oppressive, chilling aura of death brought stillness to the Blood Sea.
Then the two swords stepped into the River of Time and Space and space, colliding with the oncoming black lotus.
"Boom!"
A loud bang echoed throughout the entire River of Time and Space.
"The World-Destroying Black Lotus, Luohu?" Minghe exclaimed in surprise, and immediately wanted to flee. His fear of Luohu came from the depths of his heart.
Whether it was the Immortal-Demon War in the past, or Luohu's cultivation on the Blood Sea later, both made Minghe tremble with fear.
"No, it's not Luohu!"
Minghe instantly regained his senses; if Luohu had made a move, he would be dead by now.
Thinking of this, Minghe stepped directly into the River of Time and Space, and at this moment, Di Shitian also appeared in the river.
Transcending worlds, transcending time and space!
The two stared intently at each other!
