"Looks like, in their eyes, you're no different from an ant. They could wipe you out with a flick of the hand."
A faint, ancient voice rang out from the depths of Fang Yu's heart.
With the emergence of that voice, Fang Yu knew help had arrived.
Sure enough, once the voice faded, a mass of black demonic light appeared beside him. The light transformed into an old man dressed in black, his eyes emerald green.
Heart-Demon Elder!
"Senior, you've finally arrived. It seems you've already broken through to the Sacred Demon realm. Congratulations, Senior."
Fang Yu beamed with joy.
A "Sacred Demon" was the equivalent of a Heavenly Immortal among demonic cultivators!
It was equivalent to the Heavenly Immortal realm. Previously, Heart-Demon Elder had still been a step short of it. Only after obtaining the Wish Fruit from the Virtue Great World had he successfully broken through to the Sacred Demon realm.
Yet now, after cultivating alongside Linglong Immortal Venerable in the Hongmeng Secret Treasury, he had evidently broken through ahead of schedule and reached the Sacred Demon, Heavenly Immortal realm. This meant their strength had increased by several degrees.
When the time came to destroy the Great Unity Sect, confront the divine tribulation, and stand against the three thousand great worlds, their chances would be that much greater.
"Besides him, this old man is here as well."
Another aged voice sounded, yet it carried boundless majesty. Its owner was the yellow-robed Daoist on Fang Yu's other side: Crimson Abyss Demon Venerable.
"Greetings, Demon Venerable. Thank you both for coming to assist me this time. This junior is endlessly grateful." Fang Yu cupped his hands slightly toward the two.
"We did not come merely to help you. We have another purpose. Linglong Immortal Venerable sent us here."
Heart-Demon Elder
