With Xihe's abilities, she could hide anywhere in the night-shrouded void, merging with nothingness. Through a resonant entanglement with Di Jun akin to quantum entanglement, she should have been more than capable of escaping the Central Continent unscathed after launching her attack.
There was no way some peerless powerhouse could have slain her without a sound!
Still less could she have suddenly perished between heaven and earth.
Beyond plunging Di Jun into unbearable grief, Xihe's death had another consequence.
It made Di Jun unmistakably aware of the capabilities and supreme combat power on the Central Continent.
They surpassed his side by far more than a single cultivation realm.
If Di Jun stubbornly charged ahead, leading the tens of billions of demons under his command across the Great Wilderness Pass into the Central Continent...
There was no doubt about their ultimate fate.
Every demon, Di Jun included, would become cannon fodder.
That was as plain as day.
While Di Jun had been unaware of how events were unfolding, ignorant of just how grave the situation was...
The Vine Dao Venerable had still been willing to take the form of that system notification voice and warn him of the danger ahead.
If Di Jun was willing to make his choice and enter the Spirit Vine Dao Lineage, then he and the Demon Race would still have a thread of hope for survival in the Primordial World.
At that moment.
The glossy black Golden Crow wings Di Jun had spread continued to radiate blazing sunlight in countless brilliant rays.
His thoughts, however, were no longer as anxious and fearful as before.
That was because he had finally understood:
The main reason the Vine Dao Venerable had given him these warnings was that Di Jun's fate was not meant to end here.
And so.
