Guiqiu Tianqi said, "First, we should seek the protection of the three great powers. With their combined strength, we will have no fear of the Imperial Evil Realm! However, this move is risky and could easily cause us to lose control of the Thundercloud Black Qilin Race!"
The subordinate asked, "What about the second option?"
Guiqiu Tianqi sighed and shrugged, "The second option... if we can't beat them, we join them!"
The subordinate was startled. "Young Master, what do you mean?"
Guiqiu Tianqi said, "I'm also weighing the options. There's no rush; I have time to think it over..."
"It's over! It's really all over!"
"All the young prodigies from the Imperial Evil Realm are on the list!"
I feel very heavy-hearted right now.
"Who isn't!"
"Can I change my race? Damn it, I'm really scared!"
"Copy! You spineless coward! You're so scared of this little thing that you want to change your race!"
"You're not afraid, why don't you go do it yourself?!"
What does my cursing you have to do with me going to fight?
"..."
The rankings on the Heavenly Ranking shocked and instilled fear in all directions.
The names above don't seem to be individual names, but rather death knells!
Central part of the Origin Realm.
On a vast, boundless sea, the moon shines on the ocean, and the tides ebb and flow.
The Ashless Sea!
A huge shadow blocked out the moonlight.
That's an island!
An island, as large as ten Demon Spirit Domain, appeared out of thin air!
Cangming Island!
It floats on the sea, dark and eerie, like the giant that chased the sun in the past. Its imposing presence makes all living things in the vast ocean tremble in fear!
On the island ahead, the mountains wind and twist, and on the highest peak, a dense array of black-armored soldiers stand in battle!
Cold, hard armor; deep, unfathomable eyes; chilling silence!
Devil Race army!
At the front of the army stood seven people, each with a different posture, exuding Sha Qi aura!
The Seven Eminences of the Devil Race!
Before the group stood a refined and elegant young man in white and black robes. He stood calmly, looking up at the Heavenly Ranking, a surge of passion rushing to his lungs!
Realm Lord, Lu Yinjian!
He stretched out his hand, pointing to the edge of the Ashless Sea, and chuckled softly, "The shores of the Ashless Sea will be our territory in the future, because..."
A moment later...
Lu Yinjian's gaze suddenly sharpened, his heart filled with grand ambitions, and he uttered icy words. " The Imperial Evil Realm has returned!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a beam of blue magical light shot out from the Ashless Sea and flew towards the end of the Azure Sky!
Much later.
A blue magical light silently descended upon Eastern Dawn Valley!
It fell upon Gu Yuan!
boom!!
A dense aura of demonic energy emanated from Gu Yuan's body!
Demonic energy permeated the entire sky above Eastern Dawn Valley, forming a black wolf illusion that blotted out the sun!
His eyes gleamed with excitement, "This blue light... it's the power of return! The Imperial Evil Realm is back! My cultivation will not only reach its peak, but it's also skyrocketing!! Hahaha!"
He laughed heartily; nothing made him happier than returning to the Imperial Evil Realm.
His cultivation level skyrocketed!
First, let's get back to our peak!
Afterwards, with the help of the powerful force of return, he broke through the Indestructible Realm in one fell swoop and reached the level of the Indestructible Saint First Stage!
" The Evil Lord of the Gu Yuan, Shuangyan, requests an audience!"
Just then, a clear, cold female voice drifted down from the sky.
From outside Eastern Dawn Valley!
Gu Yuan was shaken to his core, and in a flash, he teleported outside the valley.
A figure appeared on the opposite side.
A woman dressed in a dark blue outfit with large gold flame patterns and a high ponytail stepped forward.
Her expression was cold and composed as she bowed to Gu Yuan, saying, " Shuangyan greets the Evil Lord!"
Shuangyan, Seven Eminences of the Devil Race!
Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow. "It's been three years, why are you being so polite? It's cold outside, why don't you come in and find me?"
Shuangyan looked up at the Spiritual Qi shrouded Eastern Dawn Valley and said with a wry smile, "This place was originally a forbidden area. Now, I can also sense a powerful force from the earth's veins, and there's a Golden Armor guarding the mountaintop. As an outsider, if I were to trespass, I'm afraid I would be attacked."
Gu Yuan laughed, " Xuanji Sect is heavily guarded and filled with powerful experts; I had almost forgotten about that. Why are you the only one here? Where's Chi Ling? Where's Old Lu? I knew you were back as soon as the power of return appeared!"
Shuangyan lowered his head and said, "The Evil Lord of Chi Ling is handling many matters on Cangming Island, as for the Realm Lord..."
Before she could finish speaking, a man dressed in white and black robes strolled over leisurely. He smiled, his eyes narrowed, and said, "It's a wonder you still thought of me!"
Behind him followed two young men, Ziyun and Huo Xiaoyan, two of the Seven Heroes.
Gu Yuan patted Lu Yinjian on the shoulder, then his expression changed and he began to complain bitterly, "Luckily you got out, kid. Do you know how I've lived these past three years? It's all because of you, you bastard!"
"Because of your plan, I'm now hated by everyone in the Origin Realm. I have to steal silkworm cocoons from the Golden Devil Emperor Silkworm Race just to replenish my energy! I'm even being chased all the way to the First Universe! Damn it, I've never suffered that kind of humiliation before!"
After hearing Lu Yinjian calmly smiled and said, "It's not the first time. You need to get used to it."
Gu Yuan's forehead vein throbbed. "Use your mother's habits!"
Lu Yinjian said, "If you swear again, I'm leaving."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan immediately smiled apologetically, " Old Lu, Brother Lu, I was just joking! You've all come to pick me up, how could I possibly stay at the Xuanji Sect any longer!"
" Xuanji Sect? Haven't I heard of it somewhere before?"
"Nonsense! It's His Majesty the Devil Emperor's sect!"
" The Origin Realm exists too? Aren't they just fakes?"
"Fake my ass, the Devil Emperor is here too!"
" Devil Emperor?!"
Lu Yinjian's pupils dilated slightly, and the expression on his face immediately changed from doubt to awe.
The three of them, Shuangyan, also looked shocked.
Since establishing the Imperial Evil Realm, the Devil Emperor has only appeared a handful of times in the past two hundred years!
Apart from Lu Yinjian, Gu Yuan, and others, those of slightly lower status, such as Shuangyan, had never even seen a shadow of them.
Lu Yinjian gazed at the distant, dimly lit mountain gate. " The Devil Emperor... is he really here? Why can't I sense that powerful demonic energy?"
He's injured!
"What kind of serious injury did he suffer that even his demonic energy has disappeared?!"
"Okay, to be honest, he was mentally impaired by a mysterious figure in space and now has the mental capacity of a three-year-old child."
"..."
Lu Yinjian fell silent.
Gu Yuan lowered his head and sighed softly.
Lu Yinjian frowned and said, " Gu Yuan, lead us in to meet His Majesty the Devil Emperor!"
At this moment, Shuangyan hesitated. "I've always heard of the Devil Emperor's fearsome woman, I..."
Lu Yinjian said calmly, "It's the Devil Emperor who's afraid of women, not Lu Yinjian. Besides, with his current intelligence, he probably won't do that again."
Gu Yuan nodded in agreement. "Although he's hundreds of years old, his mind is still that of a child, he hasn't quite matured yet, haha, you should be more tolerant of him. Besides, right now, his mind really is only that of a few years old!"
Lu Yinjian said, "Shh, don't criticize the Devil Emperor, give our boss some face. By the way, where is he? I can't wait to see this unruly demon turn into a complete idiot!"
Everyone: "..."
