In Qingyu Immortal Mansion’s backyard.

Red maple leaves drifted down as Qin Yu, alone, reclined lazily on the grass against a big tree, his gaze slightly mesmerized while his mind wandered into the unknown. After parting ways with Zong Jue in Qingxu Mountain, Qin Yu and his brothers quickly entered the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and Xuanbing Lion Beast Shi Xin were chatting, while Qin Yu was deep in contemplation.

"From the current situation, both Fang Tian and Zong Jue have formed a sect in their minds, which includes masters like Sword Immortal Lan Feng and the mysterious Uncle Lan, with the younger generation consisting of me, Feifei, and others. Coupled with the shock Sword Immortal Lan Feng gave to that Immortal Realm Envoy, I believe the following events will definitely be perfect."

A smile involuntarily appeared on the corners of Qin Yu’s mouth.

To gain benefits, one naturally had to invest.

Having consumed nearly twenty percent of the energy of a top-grade Primordial Spirit Stone, this was Qin Yu’s investment.

Of course... the benefits would soon follow, and Qin Yu’s target was... top-grade Primordial Spirit Stones.

A gleam flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes, "An Immortal Realm Envoy already had so many treasures, presumably, there must also be top-grade Primordial Spirit Stones. But can just one Immortal Realm Envoy’s top-grade Primordial Spirit Stones satisfy me? Demon World Envoys, Demon World Envoys, Dragon Clan Envoys... all these envoys have plenty of treasures, perhaps some have even more top-grade Primordial Spirit Stones than the Immortal Realm Envoy."

Hou Fei was running over at top speed, and from a distance, seeing Qin Yu, he exclaimed with a face full of surprise,

"Big Brother, how did you end up here, come on, Shi Xin and those three Xuanbing Lion Beasts joined forces and are having a big battle with Mixed Feathered Bird at the West Garden training ground. Haha... Shi Xin, Shi Bing, and their trio think they are so powerful, but although Mixed Feathered Bird is slightly weaker than me, its strength is also very strong." Hou Fei, grabbing Qin Yu’s hand, began to pull him along.

Qin Yu chuckled, "Oh? Shi Xin and the trio battling Little Black, interesting, interesting, let’s go."

Sometimes when everyone in Qingyu Immortal Mansion got bored, they would also fight each other. In fact, this sparring idea came from Hou Fei, a combat enthusiast who couldn’t stand loneliness.

Yet, Qin Yu’s mind wandered outside, "The Immortal Realm Envoy has already descended to the Mortal World; presumably, the other major envoys will also descend one after another."

Immortal Realm Envoy Hua Yan and True Master Ming Liang flew side by side, followed by dozens of Independent Immortal experts.

Having just descended to the Mortal World, Hua Yan decided to head to the Independent Demon’s side to snatch the Demon Path’s Sky-breaking Map.

"As per the information from Ming Liang, apart from the mysterious Sword Immortal Lan Feng, it seems I am the first to descend among all the envoys," expressed Hua Yan with a faint smile on his face, "then I should take this opportunity to seize it first. Although I defeated Fang Tian from the Dragon Clan, it was probably because he did not use the Inheritance Dragon Ball."

From the subsequent interactions with True Master Ming Liang, Hua Yan learned about the Dragon Clan’s Inheritance Dragon Ball.

The already powerful Fang Tian not using the Inheritance Dragon Ball was one thing, but once it was used, it would be exceedingly difficult for Hua Yan to win.

On the contrary, another Sky-breaking Map holder, the Independent Demon side, was much weaker—of course, ’weaker’ as compared to Hua Yan.

"Who could the Demon World Envoy be? Someone from the Blood Demon Emperor, the Black Demon Emperor, or the Asura Demon Emperor?" Hua Yan thought inwardly, knowing that any of these three Demon Emperors, daring to name themselves after the strongest of the three Demon Paths, implied formidable strength.

Although it was a headache, Hua Yan was not afraid.

After all, the might of a Sword Immortal was not to be underestimated.

"Hmph, Demon World Envoy, before you descend, I will have already seized the Sky-breaking Map. Once the Sky-breaking Map is in my hands, I’d like to see how you try to take it from me," Hua Yan smiled calmly.

"Senior Hua Yan, we are approaching the Yinyue Mountain Range," True Master Ming Liang said respectfully.

"Hmm," Hua Yan nodded, his Immortal Consciousness simultaneously enveloping the entire region of the Yinyue Mountain Range.

Yinyue Mountain Range.

Wu Kongxue led tens of thousands of Independent Demon experts and moved the land and vegetation, restoring the Yinyue Mountain Range to its former appearance. The Yin Yue Palace was also swiftly constructed with the joint efforts of these experts.

The reason for such fervent effort was that the Demon World Envoy was also about to descend to the Mortal World.

Following the descent of the Immortal Realm Envoy, envoys from all realms would continuously descend as well.

In these days, Lady Lian Yue had been very troubled, facing successive defeats that left her more exhausted than she had ever been before.

The disciples of Yin Yue Palace suffered countless deaths and injuries, and the Yinyue Mountain Range was destroyed; even the Independent Demons were attacked by a mysterious group of four powerful experts, even Wu Kongxue was suppressed and beaten by a mysterious master. The arrogant momentum of the Independent Demons had been thoroughly retracted.

Atop a small peak within the Yinyue Mountain Range, Wu Kongxue stood at the summit, his blood-red robe billowing in the strong wind.

"Wu Kongxue, the Demon World Envoy will soon descend," Lady Lian Yue approached him and said. "I have just learned that the Demon World Envoy will be one of the three greatest Demon Emperors of the Demon World, a person of the Blood Demon Emperor."

Wu Kongxue’s eyes lit up: "Blood Demon Emperor?"

Although Wu Kongxue did not know much about the powers of the Demon World, Lady Lian Yue had learned some information through her interactions with the beings of the Upper Realm and had relayed some basic knowledge of the Demon World to Wu Kongxue in these days. Naturally, Wu Kongxue knew of the Blood Demon Emperor.

The three strongest Demon Emperors of the Demon World comprised the Blood Demon Emperor, Black Demon Emperor, and Asura Demon Emperor. The Blood Demon Emperor was the most powerful practitioner of the "Blood Demon Demon Path". And Wu Kongxue’s cultivation was also of the "Blood Demon Demon Path". If entering the Demon World, it would be best for Wu Kongxue to join the side of the Blood Demon Emperor.

"Lian Yue, this..."

Wu Kongxue suddenly furrowed his brow because right then, an immense Immortal Presence had completely enveloped the Yinyue Mountain Range, itsrichness reaching alarming levels.

"I am the Immortal Realm Envoy—Sword Immortal Hua Yan. You must quickly hand over the Sky-breaking Map. If I do not receive the Sky-breaking Map within a time span of a cup of tea, I will not spare a single Independent Demon above the Tenth Tribulation within the Yinyue Mountain Range, I will kill them all."

The voice of Sword Immortal Hua Yan was cold and indifferent.

No trace of mercy.

To kill all Independent Demons above the Tenth Tribulation meant effectively killing all the powerful warriors on the side of the Independent Demons. If these top-level experts died, the Independent Demons would indeed become the weakest faction.

A flash of blood-red light, Wu Kongxue levitated mid-air, looking towards the distant Sword Immortal Hua Yan.

"Immortal Realm Envoy?" Wu Kongxue’s eyelid twitched.

He personally saw True Master Ming Liang standing respectfully behind Hua Yan. A being who could command such respect from Ming Liang was naturally an envoy from the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, the aura that Hua Yan deliberately spread also put a great pressure on Wu Kongxue.

"Half the time has already passed, and I still have not seen the Sky-breaking Map. There’s only half a cup of tea left. If I do not see the Sky-breaking Map after this time, the highest masters will be like the highest peak."

Hua Yan said coldly.

At the same time, Hua Yan’s right hand slowly moved to touch the hilt of the sword behind her—

Draw sword!

Instantly, a beam of sword light soared into the sky, dazzlingly bright.

As if cutting tofu, the dazzling sword light easily sliced the tallest peak of the Yinyue Mountain Range in half. With a thunderous rumble, the huge peak rolled down, causing chaos amongst countless Independent Demons.

Cold sweat slid down from his temples as Wu Kongxue, Lady Lian Yue, Wu Hei, Fire Demon, and others’ complexions changed drastically.

Too strong.

Even Wu Kongxue felt that he couldn’t withstand that strike at all.

"The Sixth Movement of the Seven Stars Sword Technique, how could its power be small?" Hua Yan had launched a severe attack right from the start, merely to intimidate the opponent.

Because Hua Yan knew, if the opponent was really unwilling to hand over the Sky-breaking Map, even if he killed those experts, he might not be able to find it. His purpose here was not to kill people, but to get the Sky-breaking Map. That’s why he had expended such great energy to unleash such a formidable move.

Wu Kongxue, Lady Lian Yue, and others looked at each other.

"Lady Lian Yue, the envoy from the Immortal Realm is really too strong—we simply cannot resist. What should we do now?" The Fire Demon appeared slightly anxious.

Lady Lian Yue, however, turned to Wu Kongxue, "Wu Kongxue, what do you think we should do?"

Wu Kongxue was silent too.

He didn’t want to hand over the Sky-breaking Map at all, but the opponent was just too powerful.

At that moment—

"Boom~" The whole heaven and earth shook. The intense spatial fluctuation caused the air to ripple outwards like waves in all directions, trees shattered, and boulders turned to dust. Just one spatial fluctuation had damaged a good third to a quarter of the Yinyue Mountain Range.

The vortex above the Yinyue Mountain Range continuously emitted dazzling, colorful lights.

Ultimately—

"Haha~~ Finally arrived, haha~~" As the mad laughter sounded, a massive, bloody Blood Cloud instantly covered the entire sky, far vaster and more blood-scented than Wu Kongxue’s Blood Cloud.

Clad in purple Battle Armor, the surface of which was also flowing with blood-red color, and long blood-red hair, the person appeared like a crazed lion, wild and ferocious.

"Du Zhongjun!" Sword Immortal Hua Yan, seeing the newcomer from a distance, murmured, "The Blood Demon Emperor actually sent this madman over; it seems a bit troublesome now."

Wu Kongxue, Lady Lian Yue, the Fire Demon, Wu Hei, and other great experts, however, were overjoyed.

They knew that the person who had come must be a Demon World Envoy, and at the most critical moment, a Demon World Envoy had descended to the Mortal World. How exhilarating this was.

Wu Kongxue, Lady Lian Yue, and the four others rose into the air, with the Independent Demons lining up in two rows to bow and receive them.

"Lady Yue of the Yin Yue Palace greets the Demon World Envoy. This here is Wu Kongxue," Lady Lian Yue said as she stepped forward.

Wu Kongxue also bowed, "Junior Wu Kongxue, I’ve seen Senior before."

Upon seeing Wu Kongxue, the Demon World Envoy’s eyes lit up, "Good, good. You’re cultivating the Blood Demon Path, right? Not bad, our Blood Demon Demon Path is indeed the strongest Demon Path. You should feel fortunate to cultivate it," the Demon World Envoy said with a gaping mouth filled with praise.

"Lady Lian Yue, Wu Kongxue, you have made great contributions. Lord Blood Demon Emperor has bestowed each of you a Top-Grade Demon Artifact. Accept them."

In the hands of the Demon World Envoy appeared a slim blood-red longsword and a blood-red disc. He immediately dissolved the Blood Contract as well.

"Lady Lian Yue, you haven’t cultivated the Blood Demon Demon Path. The ’Blood Moon’ cannot be used by you; you can simply refine this Demon Sword. As for Wu Kongxue, you are cultivating the Blood Demon Demon Path. Once you refine this ’Blood Moon,’ your strength will be enough to increase by several times," the Demon World Envoy said, laughing loudly.

Lady Lian Yue and Wu Kongxue’s eyes gleamed.

Top-Grade Demon Artifact!

"Thank you, Lord Blood Demon Emperor, and thank you, envoy," Lady Lian Yue and Wu Kongxue both said respectfully.

"Envoy? Oh, there’s no need to call me so anymore from now on, call me... oh, call me Lord Blood Demon. Haha, Blood Demon!" The Demon World Envoy seemed very excited.

"Hmph, Du Zhongjun, your skin is really thick."

A cold voice sounded.

"Oh?" The Blood Demon snorted coldly and looked into the distance, then laughed, "Oh, it’s Hua Yan. Hua Yan, weren’t you a commanding officer under Emperor Yu? We met last time, I didn’t expect the envoy from the Immortal Realm to be you this time."

Hua Yan smiled faintly: "I really didn’t expect someone to have the audacity to proclaim themselves as the Blood Demon."

In the Demon World, masters who practiced the Blood Demon Demon Path always considered the title ’Blood Demon’ the greatest honor.

Among the masters at the Demon King Realm, only one was called ’Blood Demon King,’ and among those in the Demon Emperor Realm, only one was called ’Blood Demon Emperor.’

This Du Zhongjun, although a genius, was merely at the Demon King Level (Heavenly Demon, Demon King, Demon Emperor, corresponding to Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Profound Immortal). Naturally, he could not possess the title of ’Blood Demon King.’

"Haha... In this Mortal World, when it comes to cultivation of the Blood Demon Demon Path, who can match me? You pretty boy, what’s wrong with me calling myself Blood Demon in the Mortal World, none of your damn business," Blood Demon ’Du Zhongjun’ spoke brashly.

This Demon World Envoy, Du Zhongjun, was only self-proclaiming as ’Blood Demon’ to satisfy his own thrill.

"Juniors pay respect to Senior Blood Demon." Wu Kongxue, Lady Lian Yue, and others very wisely said respectfully.

Instantly, countless Independent Demons respectfully said, "We pay respect to Senior Blood Demon."

"Haha..." Blood Demon Du Zhongjun immediately burst into proud laughter.

"Hua Yan, you are an envoy from the Immortal Realm, why did you come here?" Blood Demon Du Zhongjun’s expression turned cold, and Wu Kongxue immediately said, "Senior Blood Demon, that Hua Yan has come to forcefully seize the Sky-breaking Map, saying he will kill all Independent Demons above the Tenth Tribulation unless it is handed over."

Blood Demon Du Zhongjun’s expression changed dramatically.

"Damn it, Hua Yan, I haven’t slaughtered your Independent Immortals, yet you dare come here." The face of Blood Demon Du Zhongjun became fierce and murderous.

Sword Immortal Hua Yan frowned.

Hua Yan was also familiar with Du Zhongjun and knew he was troublesome to deal with.

"Let’s go," Hua Yan told the Independent Immortals, then turned and left.

"Hold on, Hua Yan, don’t rush off," Blood Demon Du Zhongjun called out loudly and transmitted through his devil’s consciousness, "Wu Kongxue, what about the Sky-breaking Map?" If the Sky-breaking Map had been taken by Hua Yan, he naturally needed to retrieve it.

Wu Kongxue immediately transmitted back, "Senior, rest assured, the Sky-breaking Map is still with us."

"Blood Demon, why do you want me to stay?" Hua Yan looked coldly at Blood Demon Du Zhongjun.

The Blood Demon grinned, "Oh, nothing much, just a reminder, those who cultivate the Blood Demon Demon Path love to kill the most. And I am a genius of the Blood Demon Demon Path, I... might start a big slaughter soon, so you better be careful and look after your subordinates well," he said, his greedy eyes sweeping over those Independent Immortals.

"Hmph, come at me if you dare," Sword Immortal Hua Yan snorted coldly, and immediately left with his people.
