Without the interference of Tai Shang, who had already become a Supreme, along the timeline, Jiang Yang gradually gained the upper hand in his subsequent battles with Tai Shang.
In the eyes of the Immortal Clan and the Demon Race, this symbolized the demons' triumph and the immortals' weakness.
Neither emperor, however, had truly entered the fray.
Leaving aside the battles between Tai Shang and Taiyi for the moment.
After Baize died.
Nine-Headed Serpent led half the Southern Wilderness, rallying countless races into an alliance with the Immortal Clan, while the Demon Race allied with the Sea Dragon Clan.
Comparing the two sides, the Sea Dragon Clan and the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan were evenly matched. With numerous sea tribes following them, the Sea Dragon Clan could just hold off the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan's attacks.
Thus, the balance tipped back toward the Demon Race.
Over the long years that followed.
The Demon Court won victory after victory in its war against the Immortal Court!
Time slowly passed.
Thirty thousand years later.
Under the combined assault of several great Demon Race armies and the Sea Dragon allied forces, the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan of the Southern Wilderness was destroyed. Its patriarch, the nine-headed Xiangliu, died in battle. To save their lives, some members of the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan severed one of their own heads and surrendered to the Demon Race, renaming themselves the Eight-Headed Serpent Clan.
The countless races of the Southern Wilderness surrendered one after another. The Demon Race's territory approached Mountains Fire Purgatory in the Southern Wilderness, drawing close to the Phoenix Clan's home.
The Phoenix Clan remained neutral, but members of the clan began to question their patriarch's decision to remain so. Some joined Little Phoenix under the Demon Race.
As a result, Kong Xuan's army grew greatly in strength!
