Chapter 2808 Immortal Dynasty
Who goes there?

Within the forcibly dispersed demonic mist, the Silent Demon "Hui Tong," appearing in the form of a demonic infant, was filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

He was a born demonic infant, destined for a life of annihilation, a stark contrast to the magnificent and noble child, Xiaoyu, who seemed to be carved from a beautiful jade.

This celestial waterfall of Taoist magic descended from the sky, like a sudden downpour washing away the demonic land.

A refreshing scent, which made the monsters uneasy, permeated the air.

Standing atop the Demon Realm, having fought against the human race year after year, Hui Tong possessed extraordinary insight. Even the latest Heaven-Rank Dao Techniques researched by the Hegemony Academy wouldn't have astonished him so much.

However, there were too many kinds of Taoist techniques within the Heavenly Waterfall, and their complexity made it impossible for him to take them all in at a glance. Furthermore, they arrived too quickly, almost as if they were activated with a thought!

What kind of cultivator can master so many Taoist arts and integrate them so effortlessly, making them seem natural and effortless, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing?
Even Huo Shiji, the former "Master of Magic," probably didn't have such expressive power.

This scene reminded him of the Taoist master from ancient times who was famous for his supernatural power called "Cloud Seal"—that Taoist master turned "Cloud Seal" into a synonym for "Talismanic Way," using a supernatural power to represent a system of cultivation!
But the powerful figure who emerged from the Jade Capital Camp today seems to have a different style of magic than the Cloud Seal technique recorded in history... It's not just that her Taoist magic is more complex and fluid, nor is it just that her integration of various techniques is more complete; her use of magic is effortless, as if it were innate!

Humanity is constantly overturning the past and transcending the times... Could it be that there is another revolution in magic and martial arts?

Behind him, a vast army of demons unleashed countless demonic spells, but they crumbled and crumbled under the roaring waterfall of magical arts.

He had never heard of such a powerful figure?

Above the roaring waterfall of Taoist magic, a woman with flowing robes and long hair, dressed in a white dress, appeared like a celestial being. Although she had the same features as Ye Qingyu, she was even more aloof and ethereal.

After the immortal and the divine were separated, the temperament of both bodies became even more extreme.

The God of Commerce holds wealth in the human world, rests in the furnace of mortal life, and shares the joys and sorrows of all beings. He is obviously more lively and more approachable.

The Cloud Dao Immortal Body is "born with the Dao," and as a "descended immortal seed," it has mastered the complete Ruyi Immortal Chapter and has already attained the rank of Celestial Immortal. It is also the master of the Ruyi Immortal Palace, regarding the mortal world as being separated by nine heavens, and its temperament is truly distant.

Amidst the confrontation between the Jade Emperor Bell and the Thirty-Three Heavens of Demons, she arrived in her Ruyi Celestial Palace, looking down upon the Silent Demons without showing any surprise. She simply pointed a finger from afar and said, "Qi gathers to form clouds, and clouds disperse to form qi. Gathering and dispersing are as you wish, and I am always thinking of you... I am [Ruyi Yuanjun]."

She is known in the world as a deity.

In today's world where the worship of the God of Wealth is declining, there are almost no other religious forces that can rival it.

However, her celestial body rarely descends to the mortal realm.

Only a handful of people in this world know about her cultivation of her immortal body. The rest can only speculate based on Ye Lingxiao's Qi Dao immortal body from back then.

The Cloud Seal Divine Power is "to use clouds to create seals and command the heavens and earth."

When one's spiritual practice reaches a certain level, there is nothing in the world that is not to one's liking.

Therefore, she can easily dispel the demonic cloud with a flick of her wrist, and now she can even create a prison with a single finger—countless spells form a complete world, completely engulfing the Annihilation Demon.

In this unprecedented era of humankind, the development of Taoist arts has far surpassed that of previous dynasties.

If we were to say which place was at the forefront of Taoist studies in history, the only correct answers would be the sacred sites of prominent learning and the six great hegemonic states. But today, we must add the Land of Illusion to the list.

The academies of the six great powers are the highest halls of Taoist arts in the present era.

The illusory realm, which "can be entered by ordinary people," records the ingenious ideas of countless travelers, ultimately colliding to create a dazzling brilliance that amazed the era.

Jiang Wang's Yanfu Sword Prison was recommended by all living beings and continues to evolve to this day.

Ye Qingyu has been cultivating by sitting beside the creator of the Chaowen Dao Heavenly Palace for many years. Her Ruyi Magic World is a new chapter in magic written by hundreds of millions of people in this era!
The once-great hero Ye knew his daughter very well. She was pure and calm, and by nature, she was not good at arguing with others, let alone fighting to the death.

He possesses the talent for cultivation but lacks the innate ability to kill. He is a typical example of someone who "possesses the Way but not the Way."

In the major sects of the world, such geniuses in cultivation are carefully protected, kept in seclusion to cultivate, and focused solely on studying scriptures and seeking the Dao. As the saying goes, "With the Dao but no method, one can achieve longevity; with the method but no path, it is difficult to walk."

He had him protecting him as he went forward, Jiang Wang protecting him as he went back, as well as Bai Gexiao and Luqiu Wenyue... Ye Dahaojie left with peace of mind.

However, such a peerless powerhouse who "sweeps across the nations without equal" would certainly not rely entirely on external forces. He also has a well-thought-out plan for Ye Qingyu's path to enlightenment.

That is "to overwhelm the enemy with power".

Whether it's the immense divine power based on the belief in the God of Wealth, or the torrent of Taoist arts based on the supernatural powers of cloud script, both embody this kind of combat strategy.

There's no need for counter-strategies; let's just go for the collapse of mountains and the tsunami of seas.

Why struggle between life and death? One force can overcome ten techniques, and a heavenly waterfall can wash away all dust!

If you can block it, then I'm sorry, you've lost.

If I can't stop them, then I'm sorry... I've lost!
Lou Yue looked up and knew that Hui Tong couldn't withstand it.

It's often said that "immortals are the enemy of the Dao," and that immortal arts, derived from Daoist techniques, are considered "heresy" within the sect, as if they were irreconcilable. However, Lou Yue, a powerful figure who once came within a hair's breadth of leadership in the Daoist sect and also reached the pinnacle of power in the demon realm, deeply understands that immortal arts can be an effective complement to Daoist arts. Immortals and the Dao are not mutually exclusive, but rather mutually beneficial; they could have joined forces to create an even more glorious era—

If only Li Canghu back then were willing to be like Ji Yusu and Zong Dezhen later on!
Only through unwavering truth and the indomitable spirit of the Celestial Emperor could that unprecedented battle take place.

The magnificent world brought about by the Jade Emperor Bell not only briefly resisted the Demon Realm, but also greatly enhanced the power of the Ruyi Immortal Palace... At this moment, auspicious clouds and celestial radiance, precious light and jade luster, transformed the vast demon land into a fairyland.

The perfect combination of the Ruyi Immortal Chapter and the Cloud Script further used the torrent of Taoist arts of the present human race to wash away Huitong's Silent Demon Realm, leaving it teetering on the brink of collapse.

Lou Yue had a sudden realization—

Perhaps this is the ultimate goal of this war against demons?
This massive military surge, the battlefields spreading in all directions, the fantastical and magical weapons, and even the ever-present electric grids... are all just the beginning.

Yu Xi not only wants to defeat all the demon lords and slaughter the heavenly demons, but also wants to transform the demon realm into a fairyland!

That immortal who easily defeated Taiyuan Tower on the way to the summit, and whose name is now unknown, also had the identity of a "contemporary immortal emperor"...

He controls the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace, the Overlord's Palace Immortal Palace, and the Blissful Immortal Palace, which was dismantled from the Blissful World.

In addition, there's the Ruyi Immortal Palace in the hands of Ruyi Yuanjun, and the Wanxian Palace in the hands of King Qin Guang.

If he were willing to speak, he could almost get everything from the nine great immortal palaces of this world with a single word.

Xu Wang, Hong Junyan, and Wu Xun would not refuse to completely transform the Myriad Realms Desolate Tomb, and the armies of their respective countries have all clearly participated in the extermination of demons.

Would the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Dao refuse?

Going back further... who brought the legacy of the Nine Celestial Palaces back to the present world? Who propelled the flourishing of contemporary immortal arts?
All of this was foreshadowing today!
No wonder Ruyi Yuanjun came to the Demon Realm, no wonder Yu Xi worked so hard.

The immortals of yesteryear used the "Ascension Plan" as the final act of their immortal era, sending immortal seeds to "ascend," hoping these true immortals would escape the final calamity and descend upon the most glorious era, once again dominating it. Some immortal seeds, which have never been found, are suspected by the Daoist sect to be hidden deep within the Heavenly Sea.

In this era, who is in charge of Tianhai, and who is sleeping deep within Tianhai?

There is a line that is so clear—

Having won the Divine Firmament War, and now invading the Demon Realm, silencing all the heavens and myriad realms... Isn't this the most glorious era for the human race?

Going back further, the Jing Kingdom once plotted to establish a "Celestial Court." The current Prime Minister of the Central Empire, Lüqiu Wenyue, was the driving force behind this plan. And today's Ruyi Yuanjun is the daughter of that very celestial being from back then.

If we consider the Demon Realm as the Celestial Realm, wouldn't that be a perfect combination of these two plans?
With the Celestial Court established in the Celestial Realm, a true golden age of immortal arts is about to arrive. Celestial Emperor Li Canghu may be able to revive through this opportunity, and the current Celestial Emperor may be able to advance even further... Moreover, it avoids competition with other sects within the Celestial Palace, so there is no need to repeat the story of Yi Zhen and the Celestial Emperor.

In this process, sweeping away the demon realm was just a side effect!
Such a profound and flawless strategy... Did they start making moves so early on?

Demon Lord Lou Yue truly felt the gap between himself and the immortals.

Back then, the Taiyuan Tower alliance regarded that person as a challenger on the path to invincibility, but that person probably never even paid attention to him. That person's focus was on the heavens, his moves were in eternity, whether it was blocking the ancient imperial city or razing the desolate tombs of countless worlds!

He truly deserves the title of "great," being the youngest transcendent being in the world today.

Lou Yue could not stand idly by and watch this arrangement remain intact, for the eternal immortal realm was digging up the roots of the demon race. At this moment, he regarded Ruyi Yuanjun as the greatest enemy of the demon realm, ranking her even above Yu Xi.

With a single clench of the five fingers, a tiger roars in the wind.

A tornado tens of thousands of feet high pushed the celestial light forward, bursting out of the demon realm and roaring towards the heavens.

His fist, however, turned back: "Ruyi Yuanjun! Ascend my Heavenly Gate, enter my Demon Heaven. Let's see if you are worthy of being... an immortal in this world!"

The "Thirty-Three Heavens Overlord Fist" of the past represented Taiyuan Louyue's invincible confidence. Today's "Thirty-Three Heavens Fist Manual" represents Demon Lord Louyue's "unfulfilled desires."

All that his fists failed to protect, all that he lost... transformed the passing scenery into layers of raging demonic flames in the heavenly realm.

Thirty-three small worlds, each imbued with a different kind of demonic intent.

With a single punch, the ever-changing Ruyi Magic World instantly turned pitch black, like a bubble being crushed.

Having been on the verge of defeat, Hui Tong was suddenly freed and soared into the sky with a strange cry. However, he did not continue the battle but instead turned and fled towards the heavens.

Are you kidding me?! If someone I've never even heard of, Ruyi Yuanjun, can be this strong, how can we possibly win this battle?
Those renowned rivals haven't even come to us yet!
The moment Lou Yue turned and threw a punch, Yu Xili's eyes gleamed with golden light. Two golden pillars pierced through the shadows of the demon realm, instantly reaching the ground below and supporting the sky above. In a daze, the golden light seemed to support a magnificent palace.

Legend has it that the celestial court erected this as its pillar!

"How dare you... turn around in front of me?!"

The ultimate victor on Jade Capital Mountain, wielding a golden jade whisk, waved it at the defeated, intending to sweep away the dust from the demon realm.

The illusion of the thirty-three heavens solidified into jade-like layers, followed by the sound of shattering glass!
With a flick of his whisk, he shattered the nine heavens! Yu Xi pursued the attack, and in the ever-changing space-time, he flicked his whisk, and instantly countless golden and jade threads pierced into the layers of demonic heavens that Lou Yue had refined, continuously extending and annihilating demons and changing the world.

These small worlds, wreathed in billowing demonic flames, were either tinged with golden light or formed of jade, becoming magnificent.

To completely change the Demon Realm, he first rewrote Lou Yue's Demon Heaven.

"I won't turn around, what can you do to me?" Lou Yue spread out his long cloak, turning the heavenly realm invaded by gold and jade into a cloak, and threw it behind him.

"Don't forget! It was only after I left that you got your position at Yujing Mountain!"

The Thirty-Three Heavens Boxing Manual was his fundamental boxing method, yet he allowed it to crumble and abandoned most of his practice, while he relentlessly pursued the Ruyi Yuanjun.

One punch shattered the Heavenly Waterfall of Daoist Arts, another punch overturned the Ruyi Immortal Palace.

Another punch!
His eyes held a sigh, regret, and reluctance.

Of the thirty-three heavens, the highest is the "Heaven of Separation and Hatred".

This fist expresses the sorrow of parting!
This is the root cause of Taiyuan Tower's fall into demonic possession.

This was also the strongest punch ever thrown by Demon Lord Lou Yue in his entire life. Only in the Demon Realm, with the support of the Demon Realm, could such a punch be unleashed.

Only by killing Ruyi Yuanjun can the fate of the Demon Realm be rewritten and transformed into the Immortal Realm.

Even though that unspeakable being had far-reaching plans and unparalleled supernatural powers, in such a hurry, it was impossible to find another Celestial Palace Master who could immediately execute the Celestial Court's plan and achieve perfect ascension.

Time will bring back the Demon Lord to the Demon Realm, and time will also bring new changes.

The ever-turning Ruyi Fairy Palace receded further and further from view.

The celestial being, whose robes fluttered in the wind, continued to unleash a torrent of Taoist magic... The sea of ​​clouds surged, like billions of talismans burning!

A thought suddenly occurred to Lou Yue—did the God of Wealth also fight in this way? The only difference was that Yun Zhuan was more economical. But did the God of Wealth need to save money?

The next moment, he crushed this thought, crushed all the boring thoughts aroused by the Ruyi Immortal Technique, and continued his fist that he was determined to help Ruyi Yuanjun bid farewell to all worlds.

But behind the blasted-open Taoist waterfall, there was a river that looked like a white dragon.

There is no living water in the demon realm; this river gurgles and swirls. It nourishes the living, yet corrupts the dead.

Standing atop the waves, leaning on his sword, Fu Yunqin wore ancient aquatic armor, his broad face displaying an unwavering resolve.

"This road...is blocked!"

He gripped his sword and cleaved it vertically; he was once a servant of the Dragon King, now he is a tyrant in this world.

His body is a towering mountain range, his sword is a mighty river... He used this sword to sever the hatred of separation.

Roar!
In the void dwells a winged demonic tiger, which actually contends with the white dragon for supremacy.

Lou Yue suddenly shifted his fist, his feet treading on stars, his eyes shifting like the sun and moon, and in the blink of an eye, he brushed past Fu Yunqin. Fu Yunqin's sword slashed at his demonic body, leaving a terrifying ravine in his chest and abdomen!

Demonic and righteous paths are one, reality and illusion are intertwined. Although the demon race lost the Divine Firmament War, a powerful figure like Lou Yue never stopped striving. In the Desolate Tomb of Myriad Realms, he reached the pinnacle of his ambition, traversing both the righteous and demonic paths.

At this moment, he realized that Ruyi Yuanjun was the bait on the battlefield, luring a demon like him who had no choice but to take the bait. But he still "had no choice".

We would rather be injured than let Fu Yunqin delay us for even a moment.

He might only have one chance to kill a celestial being, so he was wounded and escaped.

Rumble!

Then, 129,600 lightning bolts echoed the thunder, sweeping across the battlefield. The vast majority of the lightning struck Lou Yue's imposing demonic body.

Like a tiger leaping across a ravine, lightning flashes as it leaps. Ju Kui's grasp of the timing was somewhat "predestined."

The dark, chaotic hole that suddenly rose from Lou Yue's body instantly swallowed the lightning, and was then burst apart by the lightning in an instant!

The void has boundless potential, but the tower has its limits. What the quagmire relies on is the countless electric seeds offered by the Void Walker.

For a time, the electric flogging was like torture.

In the dazzling forest of electric light, Lou Yue leaped out like a tiger!

His skin was torn and blood was everywhere, but his eyes were fixed on Ruyi Yuanjun, and his fist did not waver!
This punch is not to be missed by the opponent!

Kill her, kill her... kill her!

He didn't have much of a sense of belonging to the demon race or much attachment to the demon realm.

He simply understood that if the Demon Realm were destroyed today, he too would be brought to his end—fighting was the only option.

It's either win or die.

He possessed all the memories of the Taiyuanlou Agreement, and he would never be that kind of loser.

He had already seen the strands of hair that Ruyi Yuanjun had lifted, and he had also seen those... cold and aloof eyes.

His most powerful fist in his life suddenly stopped in front of Yu Xi.

The journey through the thirty-three heavens felt like a dream. It was as if he had never turned around under the Jade Emperor Bell.

He did save the Silent Demon and shattered the Daoist Waterfall, but why did his fist land here in the end?
Lou Yue looked down and saw that his demonic body had been pierced by thousands of golden and jade threads without him even realizing it!
He was nailed to the celestial puppet at some unknown time, and his fists were guided by the will of Yu Xi—perhaps, back when he swept away the dust of the world?
"Taiyuan is gone, and I only just took control of Yujing Mountain?" Yu Xi calmly raised a hand, blocking Lou Yue's fist. His golden eyes revealed a majesty he never showed before: "Without the Emperor's guarantee, would he have had a chance to compete? Without the Immortal Demonic Art, are you even qualified to stand before me!"

Lou Yue has the support of the Demon Realm, and Yu Xi has the help of the Jade Emperor Bell.

Ultimately, this battle was the first direct confrontation between two high-ranking cultivators vying for the top position at Jade Capital Mountain, and the result was that it didn't even reach a "stalemate".

Admittedly, Lou Yue chose the wrong target, Fu Yunqin blocked his way, and Ju Kui suppressed and interfered... Admittedly, the plan to turn the Demon Realm into the Immortal Realm threw Lou Yue's mind into chaos! But Yu Xi's combat performance far exceeded all previous perceptions of him.

Yu Xi looked at Lou Yue, from Tao to demon, every detail was in his eyes. Lou Yue looked at Yu Xi, and there were only two words in bright light: "Celestial Master". When the plaque was changed, it became "Jade Capital".

It is precisely by overturning the past that this world was divided.

Such a person...

He said he wasn't good at magical combat!

Of the four great celestial masters of our time, perhaps only the Southern Celestial Master, Ying Jianghong, is truly honest. He alone does not conceal his power, openly displaying his strength and acting as a swordsman for the Central Empire. The others, though based in Tianjing and backed by the Daoist sect, are merely going through the motions without putting in the real effort.

No wonder when the central emperor was about to attack [Ksitigarbha], he tricked several celestial masters into the central hall and forcibly bound them before sending them into battle.

Yu Xi's outstretched hand had become a heavy ornamental column, commemorating all that humanity had sacrificed in this war against the demons. He was indeed re-establishing rituals, indeed constructing a celestial court. And he intended to use Lou Yue's demonic body as the base of this column!
The fist of Lihentian stopped here.

Lou Yue, with his long, flowing robes, now possessed a demonic body entirely of jade color.

Thousands of gold and jade threads are cutting through it, forming cracks in this "jade sculpture" that spread throughout its body.

Snapped!
When the jade shattered, it was a fleeting shadow across the sky.

The faces layered upon each other in the void seemed to represent countless lives.

"We are all born of the same root, why are you so eager to harm me!" "Great Master, please stop—" "Yu Xi, how cruel you are!"

Then, one by one, the faces flew away and shattered, the shattered faces forming a sea, a surging tide that swept across the sky.

The ornamental column that Yu Xi pushed out with one palm landed on the iron-black earth of the Demon Realm, with more than ten thousand demon skulls forming its base, but the jade-like demon body was nowhere to be seen.

It was the Illusion Demon Lord who made the move!
He looked up and saw Lou Yue flying backwards in the air. The one holding Lou Yue and flying backwards with him was none other than the Illusionary Demon Lord, who was wearing a flowing robe of light. His face could change constantly, whether he was male, female, young or old.

Lou Yue's jade-like body and the golden jade threads within it rapidly faded as each face exploded.

"They say even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't fall down after it dies. You old devil, you've been repeatedly cut down and fell, yet you still have quite a lot of hidden treasures—"

Yu Xi showed no surprise, as if he had been waiting for a long time. He put away his whisk, which was covered with starlight, as if all the dust had been hidden away. He then approached the two demons again: "What is false becomes true, and what is true becomes false. When will the illusion become real?"

Among the eight demon lords, the Illusion Demon Lord is the most difficult to kill, practically "immortal and indestructible." The immortality of the other demon lords is the immortality of their demonic arts, but for him, truth and falsehood are indistinguishable, and he has never truly died.

At the time of his enlightenment, he possessed only nine core masks, which were the source of his immortality.

One was stripped off by Tu Hu on the grassland, two were lost in the Divine Firmament War, and one was destroyed by Jiang Wang on the face of the Demon Emperor. Now there are only five left.

To eliminate him, the usual approach is to start with the mask.

But Yu Xi has a new plan.

The countless faces that the Illusionary Demon Lord has "accumulated" over the long years are the resources for his path to enlightenment, and the foundation for his ability to blur the lines between reality and illusion, and to reverse truth and falsehood.

Each face represents a cherished chapter of his life. He uses them to experience the falsehoods and to cultivate his true self.

Yu Xi has already seen through the root of the problem. He takes a piece of "dust" from each broken face and condenses it into a bit of "truth". He will kill the fake until the real one dies!

The Demon Lord's ever-changing face naturally displayed no uniform expression. But as he carried Lou Yue backward, he proclaimed to the heavens: "All demons of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, heed my words!"

“I’m not going to talk to you about justice, homeland, or courage; those are not things we should be discussing.”

"We live in the worst environment in the world, and we have no right to talk more."

"Those fine virtues cannot nourish you and me. Sunshine and fine wine are not our sweet rain."

I'll only tell you—

"We have nowhere to go except the Demon Realm."

"Apart from the Demon Realm, we have no means to fight against the human race in the present world."

"Apart from this desolate tomb of countless worlds, which is equivalent to the present world, we have nowhere to rest!"

"If we keep fighting, they might retreat, or they might not. We might win, or we might not."

"But if we give up now... though the universe is vast, there is nowhere left to harbor demons."

"We can't go back!"

Very few demons possess strong emotions, but all intelligent demons can understand this fundamental difference in interests.

Everyone is pessimistic about this war, including the Illusion Demon Lord and the Hate Demon Lord, but why do they still stand up and fight to the death?
Because at this point, fighting with all our might is the only right answer.

"Humans and demons cannot coexist"—this is an ironclad law written in blood over several great eras, and no one can change it.

The mindless demons were constantly attacking the human front, using piles of demonic skulls to cover the battlefields everywhere.

Following the Demon Lord's pronouncement, true demons rose up and celestial demons ascended into the sky. The most devastating counterattack by the demon race since the start of the war had begun.

"Ao Kui!" The last word was a roar from the Demon Lord in his heart: "How long are you going to hide? If the Demon Realm is lost, you too will be doomed. If things fail today, you will never be able to move forward again, you will never see the light of day, and your life will be as good as death!"

In response, from the depths of the Dragon Demon Palace, in the flickering candlelight, came a chilling, eerie voice—

"To live is to live, and to die is to die. I have never heard of living as if one were dead."

"As a fellow demon, I wish you success. The dragon demon army is at your command. Everything in the demon palace is yours to take."

"But Illusion Demon Lord..."

"You'd better not call me by my name again."

"I don't want to affect your morale."

The candlelight flickered and went out, and Ao Kui's voice disappeared.

The hall was empty and silent, as if he had never been there at all.

Even the Demon Lord could not find a trace of demonic power!

Even though the demon lords loathed Ao Kui, that cowardly dog, and swore to fight against him, they had to admit that his methods of training the demon army were indeed unparalleled.

He brought back to the Demon Realm the sea creatures' methods of raising sea beasts and cultivated many new weapons of war.

The survival wisdom of the sea creatures in harsh environments is very similar to that of the demon realm.

In the Divine Firmament War, the Sea Clan surrendered first, followed by the Demon Clan's retreat. The Demon Clan and Asura Clan, who were also major forces on the battlefield, suffered greatly. Several powerful armies were decimated, and even the Illusion Demon Lord himself had a difficult time escaping, let alone protecting his subordinates.

So today, the Dragon Demon Palace, which bravely stayed behind and avoided the sharp edge of Chang Xiangsi, truly possesses the strongest army in the demon realm.

Ao Kui offered it up, so it can't be said that he didn't try his best. He gave everything except for his unwillingness to fight to the death.

As the current supreme leaders of the Demon Realm, both the Illusion Demon Lord and the Hatred Demon Lord have decided to fight to the death, naturally leading to a global war, with demon armies emerging one after another to fight their way out—

The two fully-equipped, powerful armies of the realm, the Disaster Slayer and the Evil Slayer, charged forward without hesitation! A magnificent and awe-inspiring royal formation appeared. A clear light filled the sky, and gold and jade covered the ground. It was truly like golden sunlight falling on dark snow; wherever it passed, billowing black smoke followed.

The real war has begun!

Having already breached the demon race's border defenses and stormed into the demon realm, Zhongshan Yanwen raised his twelve-foot-long God of Slaughter Spear and leaped into the air on his horse! His 100,000-strong Eagle Guard spread their wings across the boundless wasteland. Tens of thousands of feet of Fiendish Feather Blades severed the cries of countless demons.

Zhao Rucheng's four royal troops swept across the land, creating a "white-haired whirlwind" that engulfed the demon realm. The Emperor's Sword subdued the demons, and the grassland cavalry was unstoppable.

In the desolate borderlands, Prince Ruyang, Tang Ju, and Prince Su, Helian Liangguo, are still personally guarding the borderlands, annihilating the remaining demon army positions, and preventing the fleeing demons from emerging into the mortal world.

Grand Tutor Ji Shouyu of Jing Kingdom even met with High Priest Tu Hu of Shenmian on the brink of death to study ways to cleanse the demonic poison and restore the borderlands to an oasis.

Below them are Chongxuan Chuliang's Autumn Killing Army, Zhongli Zhaojia's Valley Offering Veterans, and Meng Yao's Great Wind Army.

In this war against the demons, Qi, Chu, and Qin did not exert their utmost efforts. Qiu Sha and Da Feng were not at full strength, and the old soldiers who offered grain could not even squeeze into the ranks of the six armies of the Great Chu.

But after all, it was the army of the Hegemon Kingdom, and after all, they were all famous generals of the country. After all, the offensive advantage of Chongxuan Chuliang was the best among military strategists of the time!

These three armies, like sharp blades piercing the heart, continuously tore through the demon army's formation.

Erzhuhe was indeed a proud and arrogant man, and the Yong army led by Lang Xiaoshu was even better equipped.

Although the Song army was exhausted, Yan Sheng won people over with his virtue. He wielded a ruler and annihilated an army; a single scroll of his book turned the land into a blank canvas.

The demon realm is engulfed in flames, with only black smoke rising from the flames.

In other words, the demons don't need morale, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago.

The war was almost entirely one-sided!
After the Divine Firmament War, apart from the demon race and the sea race that preserved a certain level of organization, it can be said that no powerful alien army was able to directly confront the powerful human army.

Demons are no exception!

All of this was under the watchful gaze of the Illusionary Demon Lord's countless faces.

He had initially hoped that the changes on the battlefield would somewhat improve his current fighting ability. But now, with defeat after defeat, he himself was barely able to withstand Yu Xi's whisk.

"Damn it, how is this old guy so strong?"

Lou Yue originally wanted to say that with the support of Jade Capital Mountain, even a pig could ascend to immortality by sitting in the position of Grand Master. The Daoist sect has a foundation that runs through the entire history of the human race, which is incomparable to any other sect; it is an accumulation that is unparalleled in all the heavens.

He couldn't help but imagine what a magnificent figure he would be today if he had taken the position of Dao Lord after the Taiyuan Tower agreement.

But in the end, he only said: "It is obvious that during the reign of Zong Dezhen, if Yu Xi was not strong enough and did not have enough means to secure his own position, he could not have sat in the position of the Western Celestial Master. He was not a true master."

He thought that those distracting thoughts were probably the lingering effects of the Ruyi Immortal Technique; this kind of technique was truly difficult to defend against. Ruyi Yuanjun…

Thinking of this, Lou Yue, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed and trying to heal his wounds, suddenly opened them: "There's no other choice anymore, is there?"

The Demon Lord sighed softly, "Yes!"

All faces sighed at the same time!

This represents the highest will of the demon race at present... and has made the final decision.

Before the myriad faces that Yu Xi casually shattered, Lou Yue and Huan Mojun simultaneously spoke: "All demons return to their nest, all ages come to an end... By my decree, the demonic tide descends upon the world!"

Rumble!

It was as if the earth was turning over, and the sky seemed to be cracking.

"Ho... Ah!!"

Strange howls echoed continuously.

A demonic tide has emerged.

From sand pits, from caves, from fissures in the earth... from all the evil places of the desolate tombs of the myriad worlds, countless demonic creatures emerge and surge toward all living beings who invade this world.

Like ants clinging to a tree, they swarmed and devoured everything in their path.

Not even iron or stone was left behind.

This is a true demonic tide, drawing upon the accumulated power of the demon realm over countless years, annihilating the potential of races for many years to come, and wiping out the will of all demons below the level of true demon. They are transformed into the purest form of demons, sweeping across, devouring, and corrupting everything.

This is what the demonic tide that once swept through the world was like.

This is the kind of demonic tide that even made the World Honored One tremble!

This is the final war.

All military strategies, tactics, and tactics become ineffective at this time.

Faced with the surging demonic tide, there are only two outcomes: either block the demonic tide and build a long dike, or become part of the demonic tide.

The demons surged forth like a flood!

But the Demon Lord of Illusion was not allowed to catch his breath, and even Lou Yue had to join the battle despite his injuries.

Yu Xi's offensive showed no signs of slowing down.

Because he has already upheld the pillars of the Celestial Court, erected its magnificent monuments, and used the Jade Emperor Bell to temporarily resist the Demon Realm itself. He has completed his part in the grand plan of elevating the Demon Realm to the Celestial Realm.

Before the demonic music had faded, celestial music began.

The Ruyi Yuanjun, whom the Demon Lord of Hatred was thinking of, was now riding the wind on the Daoist waterfall that was booming again, sitting on the clouds and playing the zither, with the howling of demons from all heavens and the intoxicating sound of immortals.

Lou Yue had previously broken through the defenses and landed a punch... but Ruyi Yuanjun remained calm throughout.

It wasn't that she possessed the talent to fight to the death with Lou Qi; rather, it was all pre-arranged. Everyone has their own way of fighting, everyone has their own war!

Jiang Wang once mastered a technique called "Like a Dream". He would deduce the moves hundreds of times before each battle and review them repeatedly afterward until he was certain that he could not do any better.

The Ruyi Yuanjun, who wields the Ruyi Immortal Chapter, is even more so, "whoever she desires, she will fulfill with all her heart." Every step taken in the Immortal Realm has been repeatedly verified within the Ruyi Chapter—today, the Demon Realm has very few choices.

Lou Yue had just arrived, and she had already opened the Cloud Sea.

As Lou Yuequan fell to his death, a magnificent and awe-inspiring celestial palace rose from the sea of ​​clouds—

This is the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace, the head of the nine immortal palaces and the residence of the Immortal Emperor!

The true core of the immortal dynasty, the magnificent dream of the immortal era.

The ever-receding Ruyi Immortal Palace hangs silently in the distant sky. Amidst the demonic tide, many demons suddenly awaken, only to be immediately assimilated by the tide, struggling repeatedly between celestial awakening and demonic fall.

The rising celestial palace atop the clouds resembles the sunrise over a sea of ​​clouds, casting celestial glow across the vast expanse. Wherever it passes, the demonic shadows dissipate.

A pen descended from the boundless sky, easily suppressing the two celestial demons that had been soaring through the air back into the demonic tide. With careful consideration, the pen wrote the two characters "Paradise" high in the sky.

The radiant light emanated from the text, and the written history recorded the truth. A realm of ultimate bliss appeared in the demon realm, where ordinary people, kings and generals alike gained something and enjoyed their own pleasures.

The billions of faces controlled by the Illusionary Demon Lord, however, were caught up in this realm and instantly fell into bliss.

Then there was Erzhuhe, who had formed a defensive array and was trapped on a reef-like island by the demonic tide. With a single punch, his power spread for a hundred miles. From behind him stood a wrathful, serpentine wrathful king!
"I once studied in the Heavenly Palace, I once sought the Dao at the Yellow River, my ambition to vanquish demons is my ambition, and now I dedicate myself to this world—purifying the winter!"

The raging flames surrounding him spread out into a sea of ​​fire, burning the demons to ashes. With a single punch, a surging tide of ice swept across the sky and earth, instantly catching up with the sea of ​​fire, spreading out a demonic tide, and freezing everything within sight.

The demonic soil was transformed into frozen soil, and deep within this instantly frozen ice plain, there was a celestial palace forged from ice crystals, seemingly embedded in the infinite depths of the demonic realm.

This is the Winter Palace, also known as the Longevity Palace.

Then there was Meng Yao, with a resolute face, who led his troops to charge forward amidst the sudden surge of demonic energy. Wielding a long spear, he parted the demons, and amidst the Qin army's shouts of "Great Wind!", he flipped his palm and unveiled the bizarre and wondrous Palace of Destiny.

He held it firmly, like a seal, and suppressed the demonic tide!
Across a vast area spanning ten thousand miles, all demonic beings were severed from their causal ties, completely stripped of the demonic tide. With all the evil demons dead, those among them who still possessed some intelligence were subdued in the celestial palace, where the laws of fate were altered.

In the long war between the human race in the present world and the desolate tombs of the myriad worlds, there were naturally many methods of using demons as spies, but in the end they all fell back into demonic ways.

Today's war against demons is aimed at changing the world. These demons, whose fates have been resolved, may be able to live on as immortals.

The old soldier who offered grain charged across the battlefield in his chariot, while Zhongli Zhaojia, not to be outdone, raised his whip—

Behind him, within the chariot, the ancient celestial palace expanded with the wind, transforming into a vast camp. At the first roar of tigers and lions, a stampede of beasts could be heard!

Various wild beasts, ferocious beasts, monsters, and even strange creatures from mountains and seas converge to form a beast tide that clashes with the demon tide.

Like two distinct rivers colliding, they stirred up countless turbulent waves.

Then the lotus blossoms.

A crimson lotus, as red as blood, blooms amidst the boundless tide of demons.

The crimson sea of ​​fire that spread from there burned and killed all the demons it encountered.

This is Yan Shaofei's Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which was also the Purification Fire of the Great Yan Dynasty back then!
The perpetually turbid waters of disaster are cleansed by this fire. This stubborn and ancient demonic realm is also purified by this fire.

The Patrol and Security Bureau, led by Yan Shaofei, was granted enormous power by the Wei Emperor. It was responsible for patrolling the country to ensure public order, governing princes and nobles above, and dealing with local ruffians and thugs below.

These eight thousand guards were selected from the best of the best, but they were not actually good at battlefield environments.

However, Yan Shaofei is the absolute main force; they are merely assisting the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which makes the lotus bloom even more beautifully.

At the very center of the towering red lotus, Yan Shaofei, with eyebrows like autumn knives, was still dressed in the same chivalrous attire as before. Although he had served in the Wei court for many years, he still longed for the world of chivalry.

Given the current state of the battlefield, he had no hesitation. His longsword was already drawn; with a single strike, demons would fall, and he would be triumphant!

The entire battlefield of the Demon Realm was in turmoil at this moment.

The ultimate principles of military strategy, which shone brightly even in the old Yang era, are now manifested amidst endless military intrigue.

This palace was austere and imposing, its style cold and hard. The moment it appeared, it boosted the morale of the human army; all the troop formations were intimidated by its presence!

There is also a secret force of "celestial soldiers," which is another trump card of Emperor Wei and Wu Xun besides the elite infantry. They did not originally intend to use it in the war against demons, but seeing that it is currently advancing rapidly, they are already stirring up trouble deep in the celestial palace.

Thunder rumbled across the sky, and deep within the thunder, lightning converged, eventually forming an "Eye of All Calamities."

The "Eye of a Thousand Calamities" that Yin Guan once used to protect the country is nothing more than a seed in comparison to this.

With eyes of thunder, it gazes upon the vast demonic land. Deep within those endless thunderous eyes lies a faceless immortal being.

Inside this immortal body lies the boundless and vast Palace of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Man is the universe, man is the cosmos, man is the immortal among all immortals!

If the evil of the demon realm cannot be cleansed, this immortal will be the final purgator.

Ju Kui continued tirelessly slashing the land of the demon realm with lightning, splitting mountains into ravines, shattering sand and gravel into dust, and scraping away the demonic traces layer by layer.

Based on the ever-spreading micro-electricity, and within the framework established by Yu Xi, and with the protection of the Jade Emperor Bell, the celestial court order is initially constructed...

Seeing that all the celestial palaces were in place, he waited no longer. He raised his hand, lifted the Overlord's Palace, and sent it deep into the Demon Realm.

Whenever a demon palace is about to rise, a tyrannical government will inevitably rise to power. The booming sounds are like the earth itself being beaten with drums.

This celestial palace, outwardly suppressing all heavens and inwardly dominating all other buildings, is unparalleled in its power. It perfectly suits the needs of a chaotic era… a severe punishment for a troubled world!
The Nine Celestial Palaces, which suppress the Demon World, are about to undergo their final ascension.

The Demon Lord of Hatred and the Demon Lord of Illusion could barely defend themselves against Yu Xi, who was at full power. Counting all the Heavenly Demons in the Demon Realm, excluding those who disappeared after the Divine Firmament War and those who fled, there are still about twenty remaining.

But none of them were qualified to save the day from collapse!
Then the dragon's roar was heard, and the phoenix's cry was heard.

But the winged tiger had already been killed, and Lou Yue was too busy to care for himself, while a white dragon soared in the sky.

Fu Yunqin diverted the waters of the Long River to irrigate the land of the Demon Realm, using the immense vitality of the current Ancestral River to refine and kill the omnipresent death intent in the Demon Realm.

A bright yellow phoenix descended from the sky, bringing with it a refreshing rain.

Heaven sends down sweet rain to cleanse the world, and phoenixes fly by to wash away the filth.

The Book of Demon Subduing states:
"The nine celestial palaces gather once more, and a peerless celestial dynasty rises in the demonic land!"

To continue the glory of ancient times today. To further elevate the visions of our ancestors for the future.

If the immortal master were still alive, he would rejoice upon seeing this.

They are truly rewriting this era, and will forever change the demon realm!

……

……

"That's... quite a grand gesture!"

Deep within the solemn and imposing Imperial Demon Palace, a handsome man dressed in black sat on the imperial throne at some unknown time.

He rested his chin on his hand, watching all of this with a deep sense of emotion.

For a long time, Song Wanxi, who occupied the Emperor Demon Palace alone, stood quietly in the main hall.

She neither submits nor can she leave.

Until a certain moment, she, standing in the great hall, and Him, seated on the throne, both simultaneously raised their eyes and looked towards the tall, wide palace gates—

A tall, upright figure approached, backlit.

Behind him lay the demon realm, bathed in celestial light and dazzlingly brilliant, a realm unfamiliar to most; before him stood the dark and imposing demon palace, a place rife with metaphors for power.

The sunlight crept in with his footsteps.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the secluded hall.

He walked in slowly, still wearing his blue robe and carrying his sword at his waist.

He looked at the supreme demon lord on the throne, a gaze just like it had been many years ago in the Wuyandu Mountains.

"Don't move—"

He whispered, "Touch me or I'll kill you."
