Yong Kingdom.
This country is divided into two parts: half is the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect and the other half is the Parting Hate Gate.
As one of the oldest sects in the country, the Parting Hate Gate's heritage is only slightly inferior to that of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect.
Both sects possess Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator's ability to suppress their destiny, and it is also a sect-protecting spiritual Spirit Treasure.
The reason why both cases have remained unresolved is actually due to a tacit understanding between the two parties.
The Parting Hate Gate was wary of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect's strength, and also of the [ Five Dragons Five Luminaries Devil-Suppressing Wheel ], which possessed a suppressive and restraining power against demonic forces that surpassed that of ordinary Spirit Treasure.
The Heavenly Star Mystic Sect sect, on the other hand, focused most of its manpower on confronting its old rival, the Arrayed Mystery Sect.
Under this strange tacit understanding, both sides remained safe and sound.
At this moment, at the location of the Parting Hate Gate Mountain Gate.
A continuous, undulating black mountain range stretches across the sky and earth, with steep and precipitous peaks and occasional mournful cries echoing among the peaks.
Deep within the embrace of mountains, a colossal black palace stands nestled against the mountainside.
In front of the hall stand two enormous black stone pillars, covered with bas-reliefs depicting countless ferocious demons. The carvings are so lifelike that one can vaguely discern horrifying scenes of demons tearing out hearts and livers to devour their prey. They seem as if they might break free at any moment to devour their victims!
Inside the main hall.
Ghostly green flames floated in mid-air, illuminating the dark, unlit throne in the very center of the hall.
The current Supreme Elder of the Parting Hate Gate, the leader of the Holy Origin Alliance, Heaven-Hating Devil Lord sat on this throne.
Outsiders always assume that this Devil Lord is a cunning and scheming man, likely appearing as a sinister old man, but that's not the case at all...
This Heaven-Hating Devil Lord looked extremely young, appearing to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
His face was as handsome as jade, with a pair of narrow phoenix eyes that were slightly upturned and had a few wrinkles at the corners, but this did not affect his overall appearance. On the contrary, it made him even more handsome... a handsomeness with a touch of Evil Qi.
Coupled with that snow-white robe, at first glance, he looked more like a dashing young master from a noble Aristocratic Clan than the peerless villain who ruled the Holy Origin Alliance.
He leaned back on his throne, one hand supporting his chin, the other casually toying with a white bone die about the size of an ordinary pebble, the clattering sound echoing throughout the hall.
Several people stood below him.
Aside from his beloved disciple, the Nascent Soul Early Stage True Lord Xuetu, there were also two other elders from the Parting Hate Gate—
The Third Elder True Lord Kugu, and the Fourth Elder True Lord Yousha.
These two elders, like the Second Elder True Lord Jiluo, are both in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
One Nascent Soul Late Stage, three Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and one Nascent Soul Early Stage... This demonstrates the immense importance of the Parting Hate Gate, this ancient demonic sect.
No matter how fierce and intimidating he is outside, only here...
They still had to submit to the white-robed young man above them.
The True Lord Yousha was a middle-aged woman with white hair and a beautiful appearance. She wore a black robe and took the lead, bowing slowly and saying, "Senior Brother Hentian, Lotus Temple, Lifeless City, and Blood Sea Dao have all agreed."
The person at the head of the table nodded slightly, then looked at the True Lord Kugu.
"Reporting to Senior Brother, all the Nascent Soul stage demons in Crimson Fire Cave, Black Wall Cave, Feiyu Cave, Green Mud Cave, and Wondrous Cloud Cave have agreed."
"Very good!"
The Heaven-Hating Devil Lord nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face, his gaze finally settling on his beloved disciple True Lord Xuetu.
"My dear disciple, what about you?"
True Lord Xuetu prostrated himself on the ground and said deeply, "Reporting to Master, the chess piece buried deep within the Jade Spring Sect has sent back a message, confirming Ling Qingque's current condition—"
"He seems to have used some kind of Secret Method to gain the strength to fight against Devil Lord Yuandu... but if this Secret Method is maintained for a long time, or exceeds its limits, it will greatly backfire on him."
Buzz!
The dark purple energy that filled the hall gradually began to swirl, then entered the human bone die that the Heaven-Hating Devil Lord was playing with in his hand.
He stood up.
All the demonic energy in the hall seeped into the dice, making them bright and clear, illuminating the entire hall.
"In that case... Xuetu, you will stay and guard the mountain gate. Kugu and Yousha, you shall come with me!"
"Yes!"
Not long after.
A void rift appeared inside the hall.
The Heaven-Hating Devil Lord took the lead and entered, followed closely by the Kugu and the Yousha.
at the same time.
On the border of Ning Country near the sea, several enormous demon lords transformed into human form and tore through the void to land here.
Leading the group was the Crimson Flame Demon Lord of the Crimson Fire Cave.
This old crow was extremely old and should have retired long ago, handing over the Crimson Fire Cave to the younger generation. Unfortunately, the two younger generations he valued both died at the hands of Chen Shuangbai.
Chen Shuangbai, being from the Crimson Flame Demon Lord Jade Spring Sect of the Jing Kingdom, readily agreed after being persuaded by someone from the Holy Origin Alliance.
Behind him were Demon Lord Tenggong, Nascent Soul Middle Stage Black Wall Cave; Demon Lord Baiyu, Nascent Soul Early Stage Feiyu Cave; Demon Lord Heichan, Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator from Green Mud Cave; and Demon Lord Yunhe from Wondrous Cloud Cave.
The five demon lords gathered here, each emanating varying degrees of demonic Yao Qi. Although not as domineering as Beigong Xuan, they were enough to silence all the sea creatures within a hundred miles.
" Chiyan," Demon Lord Tenggong spoke slowly, his voice aged and deliberate. His eyes, filled with a sinister light, fell upon Crimson Flame Demon Lord, and he asked in a low voice, "Did Hentian of the Holy Origin Alliance truly promise such benefits?"
The Crimson Flame Demon Lord nodded, his eyes dark and unfathomable, and said in a deep voice, " The Jing Kingdom has been managed by the Jade Spring Sect for many years, and its population and spiritual resources are extremely abundant. Moreover, the Sunken Jade Valley where its sect is located is a treasure trove!"
"Once we destroy the Jade Spring Sect, the Vast Waves Alliance will crumble without a fight, and then they can plot against the Wu Country and even the Qian Kingdom... The entire southeastern region of the Celebrated Splendor Continent will then belong to us Demon Cultivator!"
That sounds incredibly seductive.
These old demons all understood that the story was mostly exaggerated.
But they gradually grew impatient.
Currently, the major sects and factions of cultivators within the country are embroiled in internal strife and fighting amongst themselves. Most of their energy is also tied up in the Ten Thousand Rivers Sea, leaving them with internal deficits!
As long as they can carve out a piece of territory, even if it comes at a price... these Demon Cultivator are willing to take the risk!
So many years have passed, and they've returned to the mainland... but this is all a dream left behind by their ancestors!
Rumble!
As the demons were talking amongst themselves, suddenly the world fell silent.
The demons cast their gazes toward the rolling dark clouds over the distant sea, where they saw black water falling from the sky and flowing into the sea, with swirling, eerie lightning churning within, electrocuting countless sea creatures.
A flat, dragon-headed creature with two short, straight, blue-purple horns emerged from the dark clouds, followed by the hundred-zhang-long dragon body hidden within them.
Buzz!
A streak of blue-purple lightning struck the five demons, transforming into a tall, slender woman with a sinister face, wearing a scale armor robe and a purple-gold crown.
People from the Beigong family?!
The five demons' expressions changed simultaneously, and they subconsciously took a half step back.
