The rules of the Mortal World were primitive, resulting in its native cultivators being weaker than even the ancient beings, and far inferior to the demons born in the Abyss.
“Hu.”
A native cultivator with blue skin was sprinting forward in huge steps, each covering three to four miles. He ran faster than flying.
He was currently in a state of panic and terror.
“What’s going on? Why are there so many demons? Aren’t they supposed to be fighting the Xia Clan? How did they get here to our Mortal World? Yuya was killed instantly! Damn it, damn it!” Tears were visible in the blue-skinned cultivator’s eyes. He had lived in this Mortal World with Yuya for many years, and their bond was very deep.
Swish.
A figure appeared out of thin air beside the cultivator, stepping onto him. The foot was covered in scales and sharp claws, hideous to behold. The surging demonic energy radiating from the foot completely entangled the native cultivator.
“You’re quite fast, huh? You can even use the Earth-Compressing technique?” the demon in black clothes grinned. “You’re lucky. I’ll spare your life.”
Whoosh.
At that moment, a group of other demons appeared nearby.
“Wulang, I want this native. He can use Earth-Compressing sprinting. He might be useful for my evolution of the Vibration Domain.” The demon in black said.
“Fine.” The red-horned demon coldly replied. “You can keep him, just don’t cause me any trouble.”
“Don’t worry.” The black-clothed demon said.
“You’ve been working on your Vibration Intent for so many years, yet you still haven’t managed to evolve it.” The red-horned demon sneered. “I suggest you give up. You’ll never surpass me.”
The demon in black merely snorted but said nothing.
Both were fifth-stage demons, but the red-horned demon was stronger, possessing a third-tier Intent. The demon in black only had the fourth-tier “Vibration Domain Intent.” Even while in the Abyss, he had been trying to evolve his Intent, studying other profound truths, attempting to combine and evolve his “Vibration Domain Intent” into the third-tier “Vibration Intent.”
Intent evolution was very common in the Abyss, and many demons pursued this path.
They had very long lifespans.
For survival, they usually mastered an Intent early on, and then sought ways to evolve it into a higher tier.
However, such evolutions were always done cautiously, never recklessly. For example, one of Emperor Yunhai’s friends had followed his guidance but ended up going mad, his divine heart shattered, leading to his death.
…
Within an hour, all the native cultivators of this Mortal World were wiped out, except for three who were captured alive.
The demons immediately began constructing a palace as their residence.
After two hours, a luxurious palace covering over a hundred miles was completed. The demons lived in different areas of the palace according to their ranks.
“Contact the general.”
Inside the main hall of the palace, a group of demons gathered, with the red-horned demon giving orders.
“Yes.” A weaker demon respectfully responded. The demonic energy within him flew out, forming an image in front of him. The image was of General Yanzhe.
“Wulang.” The purple-armored, thin demon, General Yanzhe, spoke.
“General, we are ready and await your orders.” The red-horned demon respectfully replied, with all the other demons equally respectful.
Communication across the world barrier was impossible with transmission treasures.
However, in the endless wars of the Abyss, countermeasures had long been developed. Among the countless weak demons, the Demon Gods used cruel secret techniques to cultivate “linked-heart demons,” allowing two demons to sense each other’s souls, enabling communication even across one or two worlds, unless the distance was truly too far, spanning too many spaces. In the Abyss, with so many weak demons, the Demon Gods were indifferent to the brutal cultivation methods.
Each demon army was equipped with several of these “linked-heart demons.”
…
Year 9666, Month 6.
“A Xia Clan cultivator has been detected!” A weak demon reported.
“Finally, a Xia Clan cultivator! Let me go!”
“I’ll go!”
The demons were excited and eager.
“None of you! I’m going this time!” The red-horned demon grinned, his long, crimson tongue extending.
“Wulang, it’s my turn this time.”
“Wulang, you’ll have plenty of chances later. Let me go.” Two other fifth-stage demons also wanted to go. The demons were inherently cruel and craved slaughter. Moreover, killing a Xia Clan cultivator meant a chance to seize a cultivator’s soul, far more valuable than thousands of ordinary souls!
The red-horned demon sneered, “You two? Can you tear space on your own?”
“We have subordinates.” The other two fifth-stage demons were somewhat reluctant.
Among the fourth-stage and third-stage demons, some had spatial talents. Many of the third-stage demons brought along this time had spatial talents.
“This is our first operation. It needs to be perfect. So I’ll go. You two can go next time.” The red-horned demon grinned. “That’s decided.”
Whoosh.
Instantly, a large amount of demonic energy flew out, condensing into a demonic energy clone beside him.
Rip—
With a wave of his hand, the red-horned demon tore open a spatial rift in the Mortal World, and the demonic energy clone immediately entered.
…
The demonic energy clone was entirely composed of demonic energy. It could not draw power from the outside, and its very existence and every action consumed energy. Once the energy was exhausted, it would die, and the tiny soul within the clone would also be destroyed. Therefore, under normal circumstances, “battle energy clones” or “demonic energy clones” would try their best to return to the original body before the energy was depleted.
Swish.
The demonic energy clone of the red-horned demon tore open the inner barrier of the Xia World, arriving in the Xia World once again!
“Swish!” The demonic energy clone already knew the location of the Xia Clan cultivator and his appearance, so it immediately traversed space to head directly toward him.
…
Cheng Lingshu was standing inside a mansion, her face filled with anger.
The mansion was drenched in blood.
However, many children, dressed in tattered clothes, their faces gaunt from hunger, were trembling as they stood there.
“These heartless scoundrels are not even worthy of being called human!” Cheng Lingshu was furious. Although she had become a cultivator, her personality remained cheerful and straightforward. She hated witnessing extreme darkness and would always intervene when she encountered it.
“Children, wait a little longer. Someone will come to take you away soon.” Cheng Lingshu comforted the children. She had already sensed through the power of the world that a group from Longshan Pavilion had arrived at the mansion’s entrance.
She immediately left in haste.
Swish, swish.
Although she was a cultivator mage, she was dressed as an adventurer to hide her identity, and she fought with a sword. With her immortal body and high cultivation level, she was far stronger in battle than ordinary named experts.
She easily exited the courtyard of the mansion, walking on the outer terrace, shaking her head lightly.
She had lived for many years, experienced much, and her emotions had gradually calmed.
Suddenly—
A terrifying and sinister aura appeared in the sky several miles away.
“This is—” Cheng Lingshu turned her head and saw the red-horned demon hovering in the sky above the city. The demon’s entire body radiated a wild and unrestrained demonic aura, without the slightest attempt at concealment. The Formless pressure made Cheng Lingshu feel fear. She understood that the gap between them was too vast; they were not even in the same league. “Why would this demon openly release his aura without any restraint?”
Cheng Lingshu instinctively reported to the Xihuo Palace immediately.
“A Xia Clan cultivator!” The red-horned demon moved, teleporting instantly and appearing beside Cheng Lingshu. At the same time, he extended his hideous demonic hand to grab her head. “You are the first cultivator I’ve killed in the Xia World. You should feel honored to die by my hand.”
“Exposed!” Cheng Lingshu was greatly alarmed.
