The Nether Demon Realm, amid the dark-red ruins of the station.
Less than half a day after Li Yuan left, word spread.
A human cultivator disguised as a demonic cultivator had infiltrated the Nether Demon Realm, killed several Nascent Soul demonic cultivators, and withdrawn through a spatial rift. The surviving devils at the station reported the incident, and outposts everywhere went on alert.
Li Yuan had not returned to the Upper Realm.
His two bodies were still traveling through the Lower Realm's dark vein network. Carrying the Spirit Transformation Core, his original body slipped back into the Nether Demon Realm through a dark vein branch beside the Nether Abyss Valley and advanced northeast. His second fleshly body entered through a rift near the Liang Province Dark Marsh and headed southwest.

His second fleshly body was killing as well. The purple spatial domain battlelord trait, purple Purple True Demon Essence Core trait, and blue Exorcism Rifting Array trait were still present. Ordinary Nascent Soul devils could not withstand them.
Within two days, the two bodies had killed more than twenty Nascent Soul devils and seven Nascent Soul demonic cultivators between them.

Fragments of ancient arrays littered
