Chapter 701 Why Take the Lead?
The void passage between the Blood River Realm and this world must have been dealt with by the Xuandu Palace before.

Su Che himself had escaped from there, and he knew even better about the ecology of the Blood River Realm before, which was mostly inhabited by Heavenly Demons who could not survive under the Nine Heavens.

The extraterrestrial demon race can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first category is the Heavenly Demon, which is formless and without appearance. It is the true root of the Heavenly Demons from beyond the realm. Because the Heavenly Demon has no "spiritual essence" of its own, it exists by relying on the thoughts and desires of others. Therefore, it is also known as "Heavenly Demon of Other Transformation" or "Heavenly Demon of Desire Realm".

The second category is the retinue, the so-called Heavenly Demon Retinue, which refers to cultivators who have been corrupted by the Heavenly Demon and become its servants and avatars. Among them are many highly skilled individuals who have attained immortality, or even reached the levels of Tribulation Law or Earth Immortal. This category is the most troublesome opponent for cultivators traveling in the outer void.

The third category is the slave race, which consists of people enslaved and modified by the Heavenly Demon. They have completely lost their sense of self, reproduce continuously, and wage endless wars under the Heavenly Demon's command.

To some extent, the slave race is the main force of the extraterrestrial demon army, while the dependents are the generals and commanders. The two are interdependent and constitute the hegemony of the demon race in the extraterrestrial void.

However, there is a strict distinction between these three categories. Apart from their relatives, neither the Heavenly Demons nor the Slave Clan can break through the nine layers of the Heavenly Gang in a normal world and cannot survive below the Heavenly Gang.

If it weren't for this restriction, countless worlds would have been conquered by the Heavenly Demons long ago.

As for why it is impossible to survive under the Nine Heavens, this involves certain profound principles within the Heavenly Demon System, specifically the fundamental concept of "transformation into freedom".

Of course, there are always exceptions.

For example, right now, a group of genuine extraterrestrial demons have broken through the blockade and entered this world.

A monstrous demon slave, its flesh twisted and mangled, seemed to have its sights set on the location of Jade Sun Mountain. With a roar, it charged rapidly downwards.

It's such a mess.

Without waiting for anyone else, Su Che drew the ink sword that Li Shouchang and Jiang Shoucheng had jointly forged. With a flick of his wrist, the sword's edge shattered, transforming into a torrent of stardust.

With the support of the Yin-Yang primordial magnetic force, the torrent transformed into a dazzling rainbow, surging towards the horizon.

The sword light flashed and instantly shattered a group of Heavenly Demon Slaves who were diving down. Streams of demonic fire exploded in the air, like dazzling fireworks.

wrong.

Su Che sensed the sword light in the sky.

His own sword intent, like a cold blade, sliced ​​these slaves down from the air, but the exploding demonic fire also seeped in wisps of cold demonic thought.

This filth is following some kind of law, trying to subtly influence one's mind.

It truly is a celestial magic technique, unpredictable and mysterious.

However, Young Master Su closed his eyes and focused his mind, carefully maintaining his inner clarity, and slowly guided the demonic thoughts away with the sword intent of creation.

The Sword Palace has a secret method to slay inner demons with a sword, which is probably similar to this.

Since Su Che had made his move, Ming Rui also unleashed a scorching sword light. However, he had just annihilated a group of Heavenly Demon Slaves when he sensed something was amiss. He immediately sheathed his sword and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Be careful, everyone. There are hidden mysteries within that demonic fire. Do not let the Heavenly Demon take advantage of you."

Su San Gongzi handled the matter with ease, shattering the demonic thoughts with the sword intent of creation. This was because he was already a hero who roamed freely in the turbid currents of the five desires. Ming Rui, on the other hand, did not have such ability. Before he knew it, he had to expel the demonic thoughts from his heart.

Li Shouchang and Jiang Shoucheng deliberately held back, after all, the Demonic Sect was still lurking around. In this situation, there were hidden dangers, so they had to be extra careful.

"The Celestial Master's decree, the righteous energy of the Nine Heavens, suppresses evil spirits."

A single command resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Flames leaped on the star rafts of the Celestial Masters Sect, forming a continuous line that positioned the ships horizontally before the void passageway.

The rising flames erupted like the corona of the sun, turning countless demon slaves into charred remains.

With the Celestial Masters' Sect unleashing their power, the Heavenly Demon Slave Clan rushing through the tunnel was immediately reduced by 30%. On the other side, the Divine Firmament Sect continuously unleashed thunder, further stabilizing the situation in the sky. "Hmph."

Li Shouchang snorted coldly, his face not looking good.

Jiang Shoucheng also frowned deeply.

"Senior Brother Li?"

While wielding his sword light to slash through the air, Su Che asked Li Shouchang a question.

Senior Brother Li didn't look good.

"These guys from the Celestial Masters sect are really still the same as before, their hearts remain unchanged..."

Li Shouchang was making sarcastic remarks.

Su Che, however, was puzzled.

However, just a moment later, the giant star raft of the Celestial Masters Sect slowly moved, heading towards the direction of the void passage.

Just as the Heavenly Demon Slave Clan was surging out and ravaging the land, the Celestial Masters Sect, right under the nose of the Xuandu Palace, ignored the situation and decided to be the first to enter the Blood River Realm and take the lead.

"This……"

Even though Young Master Su has seen a lot in recent years, he never expected that the Celestial Masters would be so shameless.

"Their incursion into the Blood River Realm can be seen as a way to alleviate the pressure here."

Li Shouchang scoffed, "Then they can boast that they withstood the pressure of countless demons, were the first to break through the enemy's defenses, and were the first to sound the horn of counterattack..."

"hold head high."

As they were speaking, several dragon shadows rose from the city. Although they were different colors, they all carried a majestic dragon aura and faced the endless slave race head-on.

"The Qiantang Dragon Clan has made a move."

Su Che looked up at the dragons in the sky.

The flowing light continued, and the dragon's might was interconnected. These dragons were clearly following some kind of formation, constantly tearing apart and recombining the primordial energy of heaven and earth to form a solid barrier, thus plugging the gap left by the relocation of the Celestial Masters Sect.

A moment later, more sword lights rose up; it was Bu Xu from the East Sea Sword Palace making his move.

"Really..."

The number of Heavenly Demon Slaves pouring in from the passageway gradually decreased, and it was unclear whether this was due to the Heavenly Masters Sect's efforts in attacking them.

Overall, however, this group of slaves who rushed into this world were gradually brought under control and did not cause much damage.

However, Su Che also felt a strange sense of powerlessness.

Faced with such a situation, even if an ordinary cultivator has reached the Golden Core stage, it would be difficult for them to accomplish anything. At most, they could only deal with ordinary cultivators who had been affected by demonic thoughts on the ground.

As for those with lower cultivation levels, coming here will only cause more trouble and cause them to suffer hidden injuries under the baptism of demonic thoughts, which may even affect their future cultivation prospects.

What's the point of all this suffering?

Su Che couldn't help but look up at the sky.

What are those immortals in Xuandu Palace busy with now?
However, at this moment, Master Puxiang was also suffering in silence.
