The Demon Emperor, a Losing Battle

Since leaving the Land of Exile and entering the Mysterious Firmament Realm, the Nether Devil Lord has remained hidden, in seclusion to heal his injuries.

Once its injuries had healed somewhat, it ceased its seclusion to recuperate and instead set out to search for the Devil Race's hidden stronghold in the Mysterious Firmament Realm.

They prepared to inform the Devil Race of the earth-shattering events in the Land of Exile and send a message back to the Myriad Devils Realm.

It examined the vast void before it once more, its hands rapidly forming hand Method Formula, and streaks of demonic light shot out, all disappearing into the void before it.

The next instant, the void trembled, and a spatial gate slowly materialized.

"Indeed, this is it. It seems I didn't come to the wrong place!"

The Nether Devil Lord's face lit up with joy. He flashed into the spatial portal and instantly stepped into a vast world.

A powerful surge of demonic energy rushed towards it, and the roars of Devil Beast echoed in all directions, the familiar aura making it feel a deep sense of warmth and comfort.

Its Divine Sense spread out and instantly locked onto the Black Abyss Devil Lord, the supreme commander of the Myriad Devils Realm who was stationed in the Mysterious Firmament Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Black Abyss, how have you been?"

The Black Abyss Devil Lord's expression suddenly changed, his gaze instantly falling on the Nether Devil Lord, his face full of astonishment:

"Fellow Daoist of the Nether? What brings you here?"

Judging by the timeline, you shouldn't have entered the Mysterious Firmament Realm this early!

The Nether Devil Lord shattered the void with a single step and appeared before the Black Abyss Devil Lord in an instant.

Its face was pale and bitter as it said, "The Devil Race of the Land of Exile are finished."

A peerless genius emerged from the Mysterious Firmament Realm. I fought him and suffered severe injuries, forcing me to unleash my Devil Lord power, which resulted in me being forcibly expelled by the Heavenly Dao of the Land of Exile.

Seeing its weak aura and pale face, clearly indicating that its injuries had not yet healed, the Black Abyss Devil Lord's eyes instantly darkened.

"Once we lose our Land of Exile, we will be isolated and have no support from the rear."

"If their whereabouts are exposed, it will be dangerous."

"I rushed here before my injuries had fully healed, just to let you know in advance so you could take precautions."

The Nether Devil Lord sighed, "Also, immediately contact the Realm of the Myriad Devils Realm and report the events in the Land of Exile truthfully."

The Black Abyss Devil Lord nodded in agreement. "I will send a message to inform you immediately. With the great war approaching, the Land of Exile has limited use, so losing it is no big deal."

I just received a message from the Myriad Devils Realm.

The Blood God has not perished; he has merely been sealed away. We must find a way to rescue him.

"Really?"

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Nether Devil Lord: "The Blood God is the Demon Emperor."

If we can rescue it, we will have a powerful Demon Emperor in charge, which will make our plan much smoother to carry out.

Do you know where it is now?

"It's in the Azure Billows Realm!"

The Black Abyss Devil Lord frowned deeply. "I have never heard of this realm before, and even when I try to deduce its Tianji, I cannot find a trace of it."

"It seems a powerful being has obscured the Tianji. Deduction won't work; we can only send people to investigate." The Nether Devil Lord said thoughtfully.

The Black Abyss Devil Lord said solemnly, "Go into seclusion to heal your injuries. I will handle the investigation of the Azure Billows Realm."

"Alright, I'll go heal my wounds now," the Nether Devil Lord replied.

Azure Billows Realm, the High Antiquity era.

Since his arrival in High Antiquity, Liu Yi's Past Self had secluded himself in a mountain cave for arduous cultivation, never venturing out even a single step.

After thousands of years of dedicated cultivation, he not only successfully broke through to the Peak Martial Lord Realm, but also took a step further, entering the Quasi-Martial Emperor, or rather, the Half-Step Martial Emperor.

"Boom!"

The cave abode where Liu Yi was in seclusion suddenly trembled violently, causing the ground to shake.

He immediately opened his eyes, his face showing anger.

He was deeply engrossed in comprehending the Great Dao when he was disturbed for no reason.

His Divine Sense instantly extended, and he saw three Devil King joining forces to besiege the Grand Yin King, Yue Ji, not far away. Their fierce and violent attacks forced her to retreat step by step, and her Immortal King Physique was repeatedly shattered.

Given this situation, if no one supports Yue Ji, her demise is inevitable.

"The Devil Race has launched a full-scale invasion; the final battle of the High Antiquity war has begun."

Liu Yi's vast Divine Sense swept out, revealing that the flames of war had already spread to every corner of the Azure Billows Realm.

The Devil Race army has already invaded the realm, and the cultivators of the Azure Billows Realm are suffering repeated defeats and are powerless to resist.

All the Immortal King were held back by the Devil King, and many Immortal King had already died tragically under the Devil King's siege.

Ordinary cultivators perished in droves, and A Mortal lay dead everywhere, rivers of blood flowing. Countless Devil Beast ravaged the land, devouring all living beings.

Many High Antiquity races had their ancestral lands breached and were wiped out.

The sacred mountain collapsed and fractured, the earth was torn apart, rivers stopped flowing, and the entire Azure Billows Realm was devastated and its inhabitants were slaughtered.

He probed the Netherworld with his Divine Sense and saw that the Netherworld was also engulfed in war, the order of reincarnation had completely collapsed, and countless evil spirits took the opportunity to escape and cause chaos, plunging the entire Netherworld into chaos.

Countless souls had just entered the Netherworld when they were swept away by the aftershocks of the battlefield and their souls were instantly scattered.

He looked up at the place where the battle was most intense, his gaze piercing through layers of void, and saw Cang Hong being besieged and killed by three Devil Lord.

Although Cang Hong possessed exceptional combat prowess, the Devil Lord's numerical superiority and the distraction he suffered prevented him from concentrating on the battle, leading to a series of defeats that were inevitable.

He looked up at the Devil Race affecting Cang Hong.

A blood-red figure stood atop a raging Blood Sea, his aura overwhelming and his ferocity terrifying. He gripped a blood-red blade tightly in his hand and confronted the Eye of the Heavenly Dao from afar.

It's the Blood God!

The mastermind behind the Blood Devil Cultivation Method was actually a Demon Emperor.

Oh no, the Azure Billows Realm is in grave danger!

Without reinforcements, this realm will eventually be completely conquered by the Devil Race.

Even if I intervene, I'm afraid I won't be able to turn the tide.

Although I am now Quasi-Martial Emperor and my combat power far surpasses that of the Devil Lord, there is an insurmountable gap between Quasi-Martial Emperor and Martial Emperor. I may not be a match for the Blood God.

If we rashly intervene, I fear we ourselves will perish here.

As this thought crossed his mind, his expression changed several times.

If he stands idly by, the Azure Billows Realm will surely be destroyed, its future trajectory will be completely derailed, and even his own survival will be uncertain.

However, once you take action, although you may be able to barely hold off the situation and wait for a turning point, you will also be tainted by endless karma, and your Past Self self may be killed by the backlash of karma.

He looked out over the Canglan Continent, where corpses lay strewn across the land, piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers.

Countless lives were devoured, and their cries of agony echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

He sighed deeply, and made up his mind. "I have no way out."

If we don't take action, the Azure Billows Realm will surely be destroyed, and we won't be able to wait for reinforcements, or even for them to arrive at all.

Seeing countless lives slaughtered and devoured by Devil Race and Devil Beast, I, as a resident of the Azure Billows Realm, simply could not stand idly by.

If I were to stand by and watch indifferently, my resolve would waver and my thoughts would become unclear.

Things have come to this point, there is no other way but to fight!

Today I will abandon this Past Self and slaughter everyone until rivers of blood flow.

"I also want to test my skills against Demon Emperor and see just how big the gap really is!"

Once he made up his mind, Liu Yi's expression hardened, and his gaze became incredibly resolute.

But before he can make a move, he must first improve his strength.

With his current strength, dealing with the Devil Lord is naturally a piece of cake.

However, he was not entirely confident in facing the Blood God, the Demon Emperor.

He immediately extended his Divine Sense, attempting to communicate with the Heavenly Dao the Azure Billows Realm based on his understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

They wanted to borrow the power of Heavenly Dao to temporarily enhance their strength.
