Demon Court.

For many years, the Abyssal Ocean had been calm, but recently, it began to stir frequently, all because of a junior known as ’Xuan Guangqiao’.

On this day, the Abyssal Ocean once again churned with terrifying waves beneath heavy, dark clouds.

The old immortals of the Demon Clan had their hearts stirred once more by Xuan Guangqiao, and their arrangements were disrupted.

Silence. Serene silence. Everyone remained mute as the storms surged and thunder roared.

They were remnants from different eras, all once protagonists within the Demon Clan, but ultimately, they were all defeated by the true Demonic Destiny.

For the continuation of the Demon Clan, they willingly bore the immense pressure of heaven and earth, clinging to life only to point the way for the Demon Clan.

If they had been willing to seal themselves in the Divine Origin during their youth, then once the era of the Great Dream Emperor of the Human Race had passed, each of them would have been qualified to contend for the imperial throne!

But the Human Race was powerful. The Dragon Sun Emperor founded Temporal Tao, an astonishing feat that reversed the tides of heaven and earth.

They had no choice but to emerge.

"’Xuan Guangqiao... Great Moon Saint...’"

"’HAHAHA, Heaven has not doomed our Demon Clan yet!’"

"’For this journey, let me go. It will also serve as repayment for the grace the Great Moon Saint bestowed upon me.’"

In the silence, an exceedingly carefree voice suddenly resonated.

It was as elusive as the wind, yet as ethereal as a cloud drifting above the mundane world.

The speaker was Gu Jingshou, the Worm Roc, a peerless hero who had burst onto the scene in the era after the Great Moon Saint!

The Demon Court, a divine object from ancient times, possesses various unfathomable abilities, such as delaying the depletion of the old immortals’ Life Span.

Once Gu Jingshou left the Demon Court, it would be a one-way trip.

Gu Jingshou was deciding to burn his remaining brilliance, paving the way for Demonic Body Hong Yuan, to help Demonic Body Hong Yuan overcome the tribulation of becoming a Saint.

"’Worm Roc...’"

"’HAHAHA, no need to worry about me. I want to see for myself just how similar this Xuan Guangqiao is to the Great Moon Saint.’"

Gu Jingshou laughed heartily, his handsome face filled with carefree abandon.

His smiling eyes turned towards a mirror beside him.

It was a Bronze Mirror engraved with the Flying Bird and Swimming Fish Picture. Upon it, he recalled the imposing and heroic figure of that man.

「...」

Scenes from his memories:

Blue skies and white clouds, emerald seas and surging waves.

"’Am I defeated just like this!?’"

Gu Jingshou’s hair was disheveled as he half-knelt on the sea surface, a bewildered expression on his face.

His Original Body was that of a Worm Roc, bird-like yet not entirely a bird, a legendary Variant Seed beloved by heaven and earth from birth.

Most importantly, he knew full well that Han Jiuming lacked sufficient strength and had only obtained the position of Demonic Destiny by wearing down Tianli.

Yet, with just one move, merely one move, he was defeated by Han Jiuming!

"’Your will is not yet firm enough. Go back.’"

Han Jiuming spoke to him with his back turned.

「Three hundred years later.」

The same scene, the same outcome.

The only thing that had changed was Han Jiuming’s increasingly intense aura of lofty, cold detachment.

"’The number of your Tao Marks is too few. Go back and accumulate more.’"

「Eight hundred years later.」

"’Jingshou, do not proceed further. Seal yourself with them in the Divine Origin. For this era, I alone am sufficient...’"

Han Jiuming looked up at the sky, his hands clasped behind his back, and spoke softly.

At this moment, Han Jiuming had taken on the responsibility of Demonic Destiny, single-handedly shouldering the colossal onslaught of the Human Race and forging all sorts of unbelievable legends.

But Gu Jingshou could clearly sense the desolate loneliness emanating from Han Jiuming.

The entire vast Demon Clan rested upon one Demon’s shoulders.

This immense pressure was enough to crush any heroic Demon.

Even if a Demon Emperor were to be reborn, he might not be able to withstand the fierce onslaught of the current Human Race.

Yet Han Jiuming, leading the Demon Clan, had stubbornly weathered it all.

SNAP—

The memories shattered. Gu Jingshou’s gaze gradually regained clarity, his will firm.

This world speaks of reincarnation, of similar flowers blooming again.

Perhaps, Great Moon, you truly have broken through reincarnation and returned to this world.

This time, let it be my turn to help you transcend...

Beside Gu Jingshou, the divine Flying Bird and Swimming Fish Bronze Mirror, which had self-concealed its radiance for a long time, began to glow faintly.

「...」

「Xuanwu Battle Zone, Golden Tortoise Island.」

「Night.」

The cold moon hung high, surrounded by sparse stars, its chilling moonlight cascading down upon the Demonic Body of Hong Yuan.

He raised his head to gaze at the sky, looking far into the cold moon.

Moonlight served as his garment, stars as his robe.

Standing under the silvery glow at that moment, he bore a semblance to the Great Moon Star Lord’s elegance, an indescribable nobility.

By now, the Zero Desolate Army had finished sweeping through the major sea areas of the Xuanwu Battle Zone.

Hong Yuan himself had not only become the token to open the Xuanwu Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm but had also pushed the Fortune True Dragon to six-ninths of its completion.

Even the Black Coffin Fate showed a large gap, yet Hong Yuan sensed an even more terrifying aura of deathly stillness from it.

This was sheer horror!

The might of the Human Race was far more dreadful than Hong Yuan had imagined.

How wonderful it would be if the Human Race and the Demon Clan were one, without division.

Hong Yuan felt somewhat helpless.

If there were no division, I surely would have lived a much more delightful and carefree life.

After a while, Hong Yuan collected his thoughts. He manifested the Immortal Cave Phenomenon of his ten Immortal Caves, then summoned over thirty thousand Tao Marks of Food Tao.

As the Fortune True Dragon transformed, the number of his Food Tao Tao Marks also increased.

But looking at the current accumulation of Tao Marks, even if he also cleared out the White Tiger Battle Zone, it would still be very difficult to reach 100,000 Food Tao Tao Marks.

However, Hong Yuan was not worried because he still had three Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realms to explore and a great deal of resources to absorb and convert.

"’Go!’"

With a turn of Hong Yuan’s thought, over thirty thousand Food Tao Tao Marks entwined around the blue Immortal Cave formed by the ’Myriad Silence Realm’ Divine Power.

Then, the Immortal Cave formed by the ’Myriad Silence Realm’ Divine Power swallowed the Immortal Caves formed by the ’Frost Armor’ and ’Frost Lightning Speed’ Divine Powers.

It was like a large fish devouring smaller fish; the three began to merge, or rather, the blue Immortal Cave began to grow.

HUMMM—

The sky suddenly filled with raging snowstorms and thunder that filled the heavens.

After two hours, over thirty thousand Tao Marks detached from the blue Immortal Cave and returned to Hong Yuan’s body.

Eight Immortal Cave Phenomena remained manifest.

Among them, the Immortal Cave formed by the ’Myriad Silence Realm’ Divine Power was nearly identical in size to the Immortal Cave formed by the ’Cold Moon Seal’ Divine Power.

The ’Cold Moon Seal’ Divine Power was a terrestrial-grade Divine Power. This meant that the ’Myriad Silence Realm’ Divine Power had also reached the terrestrial grade!

The ’Frost Armor’ and ’Frost Lightning Speed’ Divine Powers still exist.

And the grade of ’Myriad Silence Realm’ has been elevated from Human-grade to terrestrial-grade. Excellent, excellent.

Let me see just how much this has improved.

Hong Yuan lightly closed his crimson eyes, activated over thirty thousand Food Tao Tao Marks, and initiated the ’Myriad Silence Realm’ Divine Power.

Something miraculous occurred.

The blue Immortal Cave, manifested by ’Myriad Silence Realm’, transformed into a ball of subtle white light. It spread out in all directions and then vanished without a trace.

And with this nearly invisible white light, Hong Yuan’s perception expanded.

This white light stretched across the entire Golden Tortoise Sea Area and even touched the defense lines of the surrounding sea areas, which were centered on the Golden Tortoise Sea Area. Its reach was terrifying.

Within this subtle white light, I feel as if I’ve become an omnipotent divine being.

Activating the ’Myriad Silence Realm’ Divine Power is like forcibly turning the external world into my own Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

In one’s own Cave Heaven Blessed Land, a Saint is nearly omnipotent. For this Divine Power to achieve something similar is truly formidable.

With a sweep of his thoughts, Hong Yuan instantly perceived the actions of all beings in the Golden Tortoise Sea Area at that moment.

Within the Snow Moon Brigade, Ji Qingxue was communicating with her sister, the Snow Moon Demon Saint, asking for advice on romance to conquer the Demonic Body of Hong Yuan.

After all, anyone could see the bright future awaiting the Demonic Body of Hong Yuan, let alone a special Variant Seed like the Yin Snow Rabbit!

Even if you, Ji Qingxue, are indeed quite beautiful, I am not the kind of man who only cares about pleasure.

Lusting after my body and trying to get something for nothing, expecting me to help you with your cultivation? Pah!

Hong Yuan’s sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly.

His gaze quickly shifted to Li Jianqiu, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

In the Red Luck Troops, Li Jianqiu was diligently researching the ’Tai Chi Divine Map’ Divine Power, striving to establish a Supreme Demon Dynasty.

Excellent, truly excellent. This is a true progressive individual, one of my kind.

Hard work was good; Hong Yuan liked ambitious Demons the most.

As they used to say in my past life: Li Jianqiu, keep up the good work. Strive to get your Brother Yuan a new Demon Dynasty!
