Mount Sumeru.
This was the sacred land of the Western World in the Primordial Wilderness, its spiritual energy even richer than the Spirit Mountain where Zhunti and Jieyin were born, radiating the Heavenly Dao Rules.
During the Fierce Beast Calamity and the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, Mount Sumeru had been the dojo of Demon Ancestor Luohu.
In the War of Dao and Demon, most of the earth veins in the Western World were destroyed, leaving only Mount Sumeru and Spirit Mountain intact, where Innate Spiritual Qi permeated, Immortal Beasts galloped, and immortal herbs and spiritual flowers swayed in the wind.
But at this moment, Zhunti and Jieyin were heavy-hearted.
Because beneath Mount Sumeru, an endless tide of demonic qi was constantly seeping out, corroding everything between heaven and earth, and even the two of them could not withstand the rolling waves of demonic energy.
"Senior Brother, let us go to the depths of Mount Sumeru and investigate, or else within a thousand years, the entire Western World will turn into a Demon Realm!"
"This demonic qi must be related to the former Demon Ancestor Luohu!"
Zhunti said slowly, his expression deeply worried.
The Seven Treasures Mystic Art radiated boundless light, wrapping him and Jieyin within it, warding off the vast and infinite demonic qi to prevent the birth of inner demons and the risk of cultivation deviation.
The Western World, after tens of thousands of years of their creation and transformation, had begun to show signs of life, and Zhunti and Jieyin did not want it to return to barren desolation.
If their strength proved insufficient to resist, they would have no choice but to seek help from Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the various great powers of the Primordial Wilderness!
"Great Good!"
"Now that we are both at Quasi-Saint Peak, nothing should go wrong!"
Then!
Zhunti and Jieyin crossed the Demonic Path Forbidden and descended into the deep earth, where the demonic qi was even denser, having already transformed into pitch-black rivers roaring and flowing within the abyss.
Black bones were scattered everywhere, and crimson magma boiled, exuding the aura of Nine Nether Demonic Fire, as if a world-destroying giant beast lurked within.
"The corpses of the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Race, and Kirin Clan—why are they scattered all over this place?"
"Besides these, there are countless strange bodies. This seems to be a Demon Cave—could it be that Demon Ancestor Luohu intended to refine a Demon Race Army from the remains of living beings?"
Looking at the bizarre skeletons, Zhunti's brow furrowed tightly. Even at the Quasi-Saint Peak realm, he could not help but sense a certain chilling aura.
If not for the protection of their Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, they would have already been completely turned into puppets of the Demonic Path.
Soon, Zhunti and Jieyin arrived at the deepest point. Before them appeared a demonic lotus a billion zhang in size, its surface flickering with the light of demonic fire.
And within the demonic lotus, a living being seemed to be cultivating.
"The Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus—it was actually deep within Mount Sumeru all along. But that demonic qi can corrode the Primordial Spirit and True Spirit, and even we cannot withstand the Nine Nether Demonic Fire!"
"What exactly is hidden here?"
Jieyin summoned the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus, and the Azure Sky Divine Sword, staring warily at the center of the demonic lotus. His Quasi-Saint Peak aura burst forth.
At that moment, a killing intent was born invisibly, and a great battle seemed imminent!
Just as Zhunti and Jieyin stood on guard, the demonic lotus bloomed, and a figure appeared before their eyes, radiating boundless Demonic Might.
Black hair, scarlet pupils, a gloomy expression, a cold and stern countenance, and narrow eyes flickering with supreme demonic light, as if they could turn anyone into a puppet in an instant.
A black robe adorned with Demonic Path divine patterns exuded a majestic and domineering aura. In the darkness, those demonic eyes seized the soul, stirring inner demons within!
"Two ants at Quasi-Saint Peak—why do you not kneel before This Lord?"
The overwhelming demonic voice echoed through the empty abyss, demonic qi sweeping in all directions, and the vast aura sent Zhunti and Jieyin flying to the ground.
Demonic Might, immeasurable!
Demon Lord Jidu channeled his magic power, flying directly before the two, then suppressed the heavens with his demonic might, forcing Zhunti and Jieyin's spines to bend as they were pushed to their knees!
"You petty demonic scum, how dare you make us, fellow disciples, kneel to you?"
"Even if we are no match for you, as top-tier Innate Deities and registered disciples of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, a remnant of the Demonic Path like you is not enough to make us submit!"
"Explode!"
Jieyin's forehead veins burst, and the terrifying Gengjin Law, carrying immense energy, exploded in an instant, shaking Mount Sumeru to its core.
Taking advantage of Demon Lord Jidu's momentary lapse, Zhunti and Jieyin burned their origin essence and fled toward the Nine Heavens.
Knowing they were no match for Demon Lord Jidu, they chose to escape!
Seeing this, Demon Lord Jidu's lips curled into a sinister smile, his icy demonic aura freezing all living things.
"Two little ant bugs—you can't escape This Lord's palm!"
"Though you have some backbone, under the Demon Ancestor's Dao Heart Demonic Seed, within a hundred years, inner demons will devour your bodies, and you will become This Lord's puppets!"
Demon Lord Jidu said slowly.
The Dao Heart Demonic Seed was a means left behind by Demon Ancestor Luohu before he transformed into an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, and it was irresistible to anyone below the Heavenly Dao Saint realm.
Demon Lord Jidu was born from Demon Ancestor Luohu; Luohu and Jidu shared the same origin of the Demonic Path, their methods nearly identical, and even their insights into the Demonic Path could be shared.
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching by the author's name—perhaps it was just renamed!
Thus, in less than a thousand years since awakening, Demon Lord Jidu had already reached Quasi-Saint Peak.
A long time later.
Mount Sumeru suddenly split apart, and countless pitch-black skeletons crawled out from the abyss, their eyes burning with Nine Nether Demonic Fire, roaring toward the heavens.
The entire Western World was shrouded in demonic aura, every living being transformed into Demonic Minions.
"Heavenly Dao Above, I am Demon Lord Jidu. Today, I re-establish the Demon Sect in the Primordial World, with the Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus suppressing its fortune. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
Standing atop the mountain peak, Demon Lord Jidu proclaimed the re-establishment of the Demon Sect.
Demonic Might shook the Eight Wastelands, his voice roaring like Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, rumbling through the heavens.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The Demon Race Army howled once more.
In that moment, the River of Life of the Primordial World was stained with endless demonic aura, and all great powers perceived the upheaval in the Western World.
"The Demon Sect is re-established—will the Heavenly Dao acknowledge it?"
Tongtian looked toward his elder brother, Old Master Taiqing, a trace of worry flickering in his eyes.
The Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the War of Dao and Demon!
The Demon Sect had once plagued the Primordial World, causing immeasurable slaughter, plunging the Western World into ruin.
And now, Demon Lord Jidu had emerged with overwhelming momentum, his Quasi-Saint Peak Demonic Path Laws spreading across the four corners of the Primordial World. With Mount Sumeru at the center, countless billions of beings were falling into the demonic path.
"I believe Demon Lord Jidu will gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, with the fortune and merit of the Demon Sect, he may even attain the Dao and become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin!"
"Demon Lord Jidu and Demon Ancestor Luohu are one, sharing their comprehension of laws. As long as the Heavenly Dao lifts its shackles from him, his Demonic Path Laws will transform into Demonic Dao Principles!"
"A new calamity is about to descend!"
Old Master Taiqing sensed the Heavenly Dao, opening his eyes, a hint of weariness revealed in his gaze.
The War of Wu and Demon was already troubling enough, and now a Demon Sect had appeared, plunging the Primordial World into utter unpredictability and chaos.
And indeed!
Above the vast heavens, the Heavenly Dao Eye gazed down upon Mount Sumeru, sweeping over the Demon Race Army and Demon Lord Jidu.
At last, a grand Dao Sound resounded!
"Approved!"
The Heavenly Dao acknowledged Demon Lord Jidu and the Demon Sect.
Dao waxed while demon waned, demon waxed while Dao waned—an endless cycle.
The Mystic Gate and the Demon Sect, the Immortal Path and the Demonic Path, were also rules of the Primordial World. Thus, the Heavenly Dao would not obstruct Demon Lord Jidu.
"The Demon Sect, established!"
"The Demonic Path, broken through!"
Demon Lord Jidu laughed maniacally, like a victor reveling in triumph.
As the Heavenly Dao Eye vanished, the fortune of the Demon Race surged toward the Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus, and the Demonic Path Laws, now perfected, broke through completely.
The Demonic Dao Principles had been initiated!
Demon Lord Jidu attained the Dao and became a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin. Supreme visions unfolded one after another, and in that moment, the entire Western World transformed utterly into a Demon Realm!
Jieyin and Zhunti could only wander now.
Buzhou Mountain.
"The Wu Race disdains the Heavenly Dao, Solely Reverencing Pangu!"
"What care we for demons or monsters? The Primordial World shall be ruled by the Wu Race! I, Dijiang, can also attain the Dao and become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!"
Suddenly!
From within Buzhou Mountain, a heaven-shaking roar erupted. Space power burst forth, transforming into countless blades that hurtled toward Mount Sumeru!
Dijiang stood firm between heaven and earth.
At this moment, the Pangu Primordial Spirit and Pangu's Blood Essence had fully merged. His comprehension of the Space Dao had reached the initiation of Space Dao Principles, and his aura as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin at the early stage was unparalleled.
Subtly, Dijiang's pressure surpassed even that of Demon Lord Jidu.
Time was supreme, space was king!
Before the Space Dao, even the Demonic Path had to step aside.
Meanwhile, within the Chaos Bead.
East King Duke slowly opened his eyes, crossing the endless Void to gaze at Mount Sumeru.
Space Runes pulsed within his Primordial Spirit!
It was clear—Space Law had reached perfection!
