In the far north of the Immortal Realm, at the very edge of heaven and earth, lies a region shrouded in eternal demonic energy—the depths of a forbidden zone known as the " Death-Life Devil Abyss."
The dense demonic energy permeated the surroundings. Deep within the forbidden zone, a figure suddenly rose slowly from the coffin.
He was clad in black armor, covered in ancient battle marks, and his face was shrouded in swirling demonic energy.
This person is one of the Devil Race Emperors, and he is an Emperor at the Hunyuan Taiji Realm, named the Nine Lives Imperial Lord.
His demonic aura was not ostentatious, yet it caused the entire forbidden zone to be enveloped in demonic energy.
Countless powerful beings lurking in various places were trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.
The Nine Lives Imperial Lord slowly raised his palm, palm facing upward, and a faint yet supremely Devil Ancestor will manifested in his palm.
A majestic voice resounded directly from the depths of his soul, transcending the barriers of endless time and space.
"A new variable has emerged... An unusual ripple has appeared in the River of Fate... Find him, and before he truly matures... nip him in the bud!"
The Devil Ancestor's will carried an unquestionable command and a chilling killing intent.
The Nine Lives Imperial Lord's dark purple eyes twitched violently as he bowed to receive the order:
"I will obey the Devil Ancestor's decree!"
He stood up, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of Devil Abyss and Endless Void, looking towards the direction of the Immortal Domain.
"To elicit a personal warning from the Devil Ancestor... the Immortal Realm has produced quite a figure."
The Nine Lives Imperial Lord's voice was hoarse, and he was also very puzzled.
Who exactly is it?
It could arouse the Devil Ancestor's apprehension.
The Devil Ancestor didn't tell him the specifics, which couldn't be because the other party wanted to be the riddle teller; rather, it was because even the Devil Ancestor had only foreseen some unfavorable future events, and he couldn't see the specifics clearly.
The Nine Lives Imperial Lord pondered for a moment, then took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the depths of the Devil Abyss.
The next moment, he appeared in the Myriad Devils Hall. Several Daluo Golden Immortal Devil Race of the Demon Clan who were left behind sensed his aura and hurriedly came to pay their respects.
"Lord Nine Lives, you have awakened!"
Who is in power among the Devil Race now?
The Nine Lives Imperial Lord said calmly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Devil Race is currently ruled by seven Emperors, namely the Heaven-Swallowing Imperial Lord, the Death Imperial Lord..."
"Um."
The Nine Lives Imperial Lord pondered for a moment and asked:
Who is most familiar with the creatures of the Immortal Realm?
"That is naturally the Devil Master."
"Let him see me."
"Yes."
The Devil Race under his command dared not delay and immediately went to inform them.
Before long, a tall and imposing figure appeared silently outside the Myriad Devils Hall and slowly walked in.
The newcomer was none other than a high-ranking Devil Master among the Devil Race.
"I have met the Nine Lives Imperial Lord."
The Devil Master's voice was deep, and he bowed slightly in a respectful manner, but an unfathomable light flickered in his lowered eyes.
He knew that this Nine Lives Imperial Lord was no ordinary being, not only because he was Hunyuan Taiji Realm expert, but also because he was a confidant of the Devil Ancestor and held an extremely high position. Only the Devil Ancestor could command him to act.
The other party's appearance may indicate that things are about to change.
I just don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
The Nine Lives Imperial Lord's dark purple eyes scrutinized the Devil Master, and he went straight to the point:
" The Devil Ancestor has issued a decree, and a change has occurred in the Immortal Realm. It must be nipped in the bud before it grows up."
You've been paying close attention to events in the Immortal Realm for many years. What are your thoughts on this?
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at a peculiar space where no one could see them.
The Devil Master remained calm, raised his head, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Your Majesty, in recent years, many individuals of great fortune have emerged in the Immortal Realm, possessing extraordinary talent. There are indeed a few unusual aspects that warrant attention."
He held up his somewhat pale fingers, listing them off as if they were his most treasured possessions:
"Firstly, a peerless genius has emerged in the Immortal Domain. This person has risen exceptionally rapidly in the past thousand years, achieving the Daluo in a short time. Given time, he may very well grow to the Hunyuan level, and may even influence our grand plans. This person is named Yun Wuji, and his whereabouts are shrouded in secrecy, suggesting that he may be concealing the secrets of heaven with a supreme treasure."
"Secondly, the Human Race is currently selecting Human Emperor, and among the many Human Emperor Candid ate, a remarkable individual has emerged, condensing nine Human Dao Fortune Mark. He is hailed as the strongest Human Emperor Candidate in history, and the Human Race has many powerful figures protecting him. He has essentially secured the position of Human Emperor, and it is very difficult for us to gather complete information."
"Thirdly, it seems that an ancient being broke free from its seal in the Nether Sea. Again, the secrets of heaven were not revealed, and it is unknown who or what deity was responsible. I speculate that it is possible that an ancient being intends to participate in this Calamity Tribulation, and this being may interfere with the grand plan of my Devil Race race."
The Devil Master paused for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes:
"Finally... there's one more thing that's been bothering me. It seems there's an unknown, powerful figure guarding the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace; they're quite mysterious."
The Devil Master initially wanted to reveal Han Xuanji's name directly, but then felt it was inappropriate.
After all, Han Xuanji seemed to be just a young prodigy, Golden Immortal, so saying it would make him seem incompetent.
"Oh?"
The news came one after another, and the Nine Lives Imperial Lord frowned, clearly not expecting so many things to happen.
" Spirit Void Heavenly Palace? Could it be the power left behind by Spirit Void Dao Venerable?"
The Nine Lives Imperial Lord was somewhat unfamiliar with this name.
The Devil Master shook his head and explained:
"The successor of Spirit Void Dao Venerable left the Immortal Realm many years ago without leaving behind any lineage. Spirit Void Heavenly Palace is merely a power founded by a Nine-Transformation Daluo Golden Immortal, with a shallow foundation. It's just that its subordinates have repeatedly encountered setbacks, which makes them somewhat concerned."
The Nine Lives Imperial Lord remained silent for a moment. The information given by the Devil Ancestor was too little, making it difficult for him to take action for the time being.
" Yun Wuji, the Human Emperor Candidate, the anomalies in the Nether Sea... and this Spirit Void Heavenly Palace."
The Nine Lives Imperial Lord snorted coldly.
"It seems the Immortal Realm has been quite lively these past few years. The 'variables' may be hidden among these people, or perhaps in places you haven't even noticed."
"But no matter what, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."
"I will awaken the Nine Devil Guards. I hope to see results before the Devil Ancestor returns."
"Of course, if you perform a great service, I will personally petition the Devil Ancestor to award you credit."
Upon hearing this, the Devil Master lowered his head and quickly agreed.
However, a hint of helplessness flashed deep in his eyes.
The birth of the Nine Lives Imperial Lord naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Throughout the myriad races of the Immortal Domain, many powerful figures took notice of this scene.
This could very well be a signal that the Devil Race are about to make some big move.
The Spirit Void Heavenly Palace was on high alert, after all, the Spirit Void Immortal Domain was very close to the Devil Domain, and if a full-scale war broke out, they would be the first to be hit.
In fact, the Spirit Void Immortal Domain is frequently reshuffled because of this, making it difficult for ancient lineages with long-standing traditions to emerge.
Myriad Phenomena Garden.
Han Xuanji also noticed this, and he saw it more clearly than many others.
This is the awakening of a powerful Devil Race expert at the Hunyuan Taiji Realm!
"This is something that wasn't mentioned in the simulation... Is it because they were unaware of it, or is it related to the butterfly effect?"
Han Xuanji pondered silently, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
After all, the future is unpredictable. Perhaps it is because of him that the Devil Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor appear ahead of schedule, and the war between immortals and demons begins ahead of schedule.
This is not impossible!
