The Heavenly Demon devoured Zhang Mingdong’s soul, smoothly taking over Zhang Mingdong’s body. At this mont, Zhang Mingdong was no longer himself; he had beco the fearso Heavenly Demon Venerable Sage.
The Heavenly Demon Venerable Sage was the first Heavenly Demon to appear in the Demon World after the decline of the Demon Clan. On the day he was born, the heavens and the earth changed colors, and the sun and moon lost their light.
The newborn Heavenly Demon showcased his bloodthirsty demonic nature to its fullest, primarily increasing his demonic power by absorbing the essence of cultivators.
At first, the newly born Heavenly Demon only absorbed the essence of cultivators with lower cultivation levels, as the small scale didn’t attract much attention. Later, as he gradually absorbed the essence of stronger cultivators, people saw the horrific state of the victims and assud it was revenge killing. No one even considered the Heavenly Demon, as everyone who had seen him was already dead.
Thus, the Heavenly Demon grew stronger day by day until one day, when he single-handedly destroyed the largest Cultivation Sect of the Human Clan. Only then did people realize the terror of the Heavenly Demon, causing various Cultivation Sects to begin worrying.
The cultivators of the Human Clan ford the Demon Execution Alliance and launched an attack against the Heavenly Demon, who was defeated. Just as everyone was celebrating, they were unaware that the fully-ford Heavenly Demon had retreated to the Demon World, imdiately summoning the Demon Clan army for a coback.
Wherever the Demon Clan army went, no grass grew, corpses littered the ground, and the landscape beca a scene of human purgatory.
This event caught the attention of the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Emperor dispatched two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to subdue the Heavenly Demon. However, to everyone’s surprise, the Heavenly Demon army won.
After absorbing the Immortal Essence of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Heavenly Demon’s cultivation grew even stronger. Unexpectedly, riding a streak of victories, he led the Demon World masses to attack the Heavenly Court.
Furious, the Heavenly Emperor personally led his army to resist but was still defeated. There was no doubt—the Heavenly Demon ultimately achieved the final victory. Occupying the Heavenly Court, he self-proclaid as ’Heavenly Demon Venerable Sage.’
From then on, the Heavenly Demon had enough confidence to challenge the Hong Jun lineage, though he still remained sowhat wary of them.
To gain absolute control over the Seven Realms of Heaven and Earth, the Heavenly Demon sent the Son of Heavenly Demon to the Human, Demon, and Underworld Realms, attempting to disrupt the order to fulfill his ambitions.
Upon learning this, Master Hong Jun ordered his seven major disciples to stop the Heavenly Demon’s actions.
The Seven Great Saints arrived, and the Heavenly Demon disobeyed, attacking them. Thus, the Seven Saints had to join forces to subdue the Heavenly Demon, sealing him beneath Kunlun Mountain, guarded by the Yuanshi Tianzun of the Yuxu Sect...
However, the Son of Heavenly Demon successfully descended into the Three Realms, completely disrupting the order of Heaven and Earth.
To restore the disturbed order, Master Hong Jun issued a decree to eliminate demonic and improper actions under the na of "Sealing Gods," aiming to restore the order of Heaven and Earth.
In the Human World, after the Son of Heavenly Demon ascended the throne, his demonic nature gradually manifested. He was brutal and tyrannical, ignoring state affairs, harming loyal officials, indulging in hedonism. Finally, during one ancestral worship day in the Wa Emperor Hall, he insulted the Wa Emperor in a poem, initiating the War of Sealing Gods...
...
"Sigh..."
The Heavenly Demon let out a deep sigh, "Who would have thought that after dominating the Three Realms for ten thousand years, I would end up having to resort to deceit to obtain a new body? It truly is a great sorrow for the Demon Clan."
"Sigh..."
The Heavenly Demon sighed again, "Sothing is better than nothing. However, this body is too weak; even a coyote could devour . It seems I should ditate and cultivate to improve my power quickly, so I can reclaim my title as the Heavenly Demon Venerable Sage."
"Heh heh..."
The Heavenly Demon smiled contentedly and began ditating. Before a minute passed, the Heavenly Demon angrily said, "What sort of place is this? Not only is the spiritual energy ridiculously scarce, but there’s also no Demon Essence Qi. What has happened in this world?"
The Heavenly Demon, who had devoured Zhang Mingdong’s soul, finally rembered to investigate Zhang Mingdong’s original mories.
"Ha ha..."
After discovering Zhang Mingdong’s mories, the Heavenly Demon laughed arrogantly, "So, this world has entered a new era. Who would have thought that the once-famous Seven Great Saints no longer exist, and even Hong Jun is nowhere to be found? Truly, heaven is aiding ."
"Oh?"
In Zhang Mingdong’s mories, the Heavenly Demon made another surprising discovery.
"Unexpectedly, there is soone in this world nad Yan Rufeng with a decent cultivation level. If I absorb his essence, I believe I could instantly elevate my power to that of the Demon King..."
"Heh heh."
The Heavenly Demon coldly chuckled with excitent, "Zhang Mingdong, who would’ve thought you’d be of so use? I will take revenge for you. After all, it’s much faster to absorb a cultivator’s essence than to painstakingly cultivate..."
"Roar..."
A large beast suddenly leapt out, roaring ferociously at the Heavenly Demon, seemingly starved to the point of madness.
The Heavenly Demon coldly stared at the beast. In the next mont, a stream of black qi spewed out from his nostrils. The black qi grew upon exposure to the wind, causing the beast to panic and turn to flee. However, the black qi swiftly enveloped the beast.
Then, with a powerful inhale, the black qi flowed back into the Heavenly Demon’s nostrils, leaving the beast as nothing but a skeleton.
The Heavenly Demon knew his current cultivation was still very weak, weaker than when he was first born. At the mont, he dared not seek trouble with Yan Rufeng, as he didn’t want to be killed by Yan Rufeng just after escaping his seal.
The Heavenly Demon planned to absorb Yang Yuan from mortals first to improve his cultivation, then gradually move on to absorbing the essence of cultivators...
There were less than two days left until the qualification trials for the Secret Realm. The global live broadcast had already begun. With a population of over 7 billion worldwide, everyone could watch the live broadcast not only on television but also online.
Most people chose to watch the live broadcast online, where they could not only comnt but also see the floating comnts.
On the Deserted Island, because it was a satellite-positioned live broadcast, there were no staff mbers, only people from the Cultivation Association busily working in an orderly manner. Since all the participants were Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivators, they worked using Sword Flight. So were building the spectator stands, so were constructing the judges’ stands, and so were setting up the combat arenas...
On the Deserted Island, besides the Cultivation Association mbers, the audience on screen had not yet seen anyone from the other three clans.
At this mont, soone posted a comnt online, which imdiately floated across the screen.
The floating comnt read, "Is this a live broadcast? Why does it look so much like a movie, with everyone flying on swords? How co I’ve never seen this before?"
Soone else coldly comnted, "It seems this brother has never watched Yan Sect Leader’s live broadcasts, or he wouldn’t ask such a question."
The comnt floated by, and another person asked, "Who is Yan Sect Leader? How co I’ve never heard of him?"
"Heh heh, if you don’t know Yan Sect Leader, are you even a Huaxia person?"
Several comnts asking if that person was a Huaxia person floated across the screen.
"Sorry, I am an overseas compatriot and haven’t heard of him."
"Heh heh, the trials are the day after tomorrow. You’ll see then."
"I heard this ti it’s being broadcast globally. The day after tomorrow is destined to be a day rembered in history."
"Ha ha, after this, the entire world will know about Yan Sect Leader."
The floating comnts continued in a flurry until the expectations filled the comnts and gradually slowed down.
"Looking forward..."
"Looking forward..."
As dusk approached, the screen beca lively again.
"Look, another group is flying in."
"These people with two pairs of wings and pointed ears look just like the Elf Clan from the legends."
"What do you an ’look like?’ They are the Elf Clan, okay?"
"Why are the Elf Clan coming here? Isn’t it said that they always live peacefully with humans?"
"Sigh, I really don’t understand why the Elf Clan wants to get involved."
The floating comnts discussed the Elf Clan.
Another person comnted, "Living peacefully is how the Elf Clan protects themselves. If there weren’t enormous benefits this ti, would they get involved?"
"This brother speaks sense. Look at the large group they brought, probably several hundred of them. It seems Yan Sect Leader is in danger this ti."
"Who says otherwise? Look, another group is coming."
Everyone stared at the screen, and soone quickly comnted, "Witch Clan, they are from the Witch Clan."
"How can you tell?"
"It’s said that the Witch Clan originated from our Huaxia and is mostly female. Their appearance is no different from ours."
"There are at least a hundred of them this ti. And there’s still a mysterious rmaid Clan that hasn’t shown up. Yan Sect Leader is really in danger this ti."
"No matter how dangerous, Yan Sect Leader has to face it."
"Sigh, I hope a miracle occurs. Praying..."
The floating comnts entered a rolling mode with prayers.
"Praying..."
"Praying for Yan Sect Leader..."
"Praying for my husband to smoothly overco this challenge..."
"I pray for my husband, wishing him triumph in his endeavors..."
