"It seems there are differences even among the Chaos Demon Gods."
Han Xuanji thought silently.
And they certainly cannot be compared to the Demon Ancestor, who might have touched the realm of Limitless Primordial. However, Chaos Demon Gods start at an extremely high level, the lowest being Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and it is not strange for outstanding ones, like the Demon Ancestor and the Nether Lord, to reach Primordial Chaos or even higher.
Although Nine Heavens Demon is an esteemed Demon Ancestor Personal Guard, wielding the Great Dao of Illusion, in terms of true power and status, he is clearly far inferior to ancient Chaos Demon Gods like the Nether Lord, who controls the Origin of Death.
However, given the innate talent of a Chaos Demon God, the minimum level is Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and many achieve Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal.
Hearing this, it sounds like what the Demon Ancestor does is similar to what the Dao Ancestor does.
No wonder he is called the Demon Ancestor.
In the legends of the Immortal Realm, the Dao Ancestor was the one who spread the Dao, teaching Cultivation Methods to countless beings in the Immortal Realm, and it was also the Dao Ancestor who repelled countless Chaos Creatures when the Immortal Realm was weak.
However, Han Xuanji knew that the Dao Ancestor was not the founder of the Immortal Realm.
After teaching and raising the Heavenly Emperor, the Dao Ancestor left the Immortal Realm, his whereabouts unknown, leaving behind only countless legends for future generations to spread.
Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor, as the Dao Ancestor's Personal Disciple, quickly gained recognition from many Powerful Beings, established the Heavenly Court, and became the Orthodox Ruler of the Immortal Realm.
What are the Demon Ancestor's intentions for coming to the Immortal Realm?
Han Xuanji asked directly.
Chaos is boundless; there should be many worlds like the Immortal Realm.
This time, Nine Heavens Demon clearly hesitated.
But seeing the Dao-Devouring Worms crawling onto him, he immediately spoke:
"The Immortal Realm is a Limitless World where a Limitless Existence was born. Even in the Chaos, Limitless Worlds are rare, and many Limitless Worlds are already claimed, but the Immortal Realm is special..."
Does this mean the Heavenly Emperor is not the Lord of the Immortal Realm?
Han Xuanji fell into contemplation.
"The Heavenly Emperor, as the Dao Ancestor's Personal Disciple, inherited his Dao Lineage and obtained the orthodox title of the Immortal Realm. While seemingly glorious, he also bears the Karma and expectations of the entire Immortal Realm. Suppressing the Demon Ancestor and maintaining the Heavenly Dao's Balance is his duty, but perhaps... all of this is also a form of restraint."
Han Xuanji's gaze was profound; he vaguely felt that the Heavenly Emperor's thoughts might not be so simple.
Transcendence is the ultimate pursuit of every Supreme Expert.
No wonder the Nether Lord dared to contend for the Authority of Reincarnation; it seems his background is also extraordinary.
Having learned what he needed to know, Han Xuanji stopped contemplating, and his gaze returned to Nine Heavens Demon inside the yuanshi banner.
With just a thought, the Incarnation resembling Old Ancestor Fuyun was instantly devoured by the Dao-Devouring Worms, leaving not even ash behind.
Feeling the complete death of his Incarnation, Nine Heavens Demon lost his last shred of hope, replacing it with only relief.
As expected, it was the Dao-Devouring Worms.
Han Xuanji pondered slightly but did not let the Dao-Devouring Worms devour Nine Heavens Demon.
But he couldn't think of how to handle the opponent right away.
Killing him directly seemed unnecessary and would alert the Demon Race. Letting him go was even less possible; even controlling the opponent's Origin, Han Xuanji wouldn't feel secure.
Unless one day, he becomes stronger than the Demon Ancestor!
Thinking this, Han Xuanji simply confined the True Body of Nine Heavens Demon in a corner of the banner for the time being.
He then immersed his mind in cultivation and paid no further attention.
He planned to save up his Simulation Chances to simulate either Han You or Lin Feng.
Perhaps through them, he could find an Opportunity to quickly reach the Limitless Primordial Realm.
At the same time.
The Demon Master was still waiting for news from Nine Heavens Demon.
Although Nine Lives Emperor Lord had temporarily given him command over the Demon Ancestor Personal Guards, not many of these Powerful Experts genuinely obeyed his orders.
This left him helpless. After all, these Demon Ancestor Personal Guards were stronger and more Senior than the last. Even Nine Lives Emperor Lord only commanded them by borrowing the Demon Ancestor's prestige, let alone him... This time, it took him a great deal of effort to persuade Nine Heavens Demon to act.
Hopefully, he can bring back good news... Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
This place is closer to the Human Race Heartland than the Lingxu Immortal Domain, and is undoubtedly much more prosperous than the Lingxu Immortal Domain.
Especially in recent years, Powerful Experts have returned one after another, including many Grand Unity Golden Immortal experts and Ancient Existences.
As Lu Fan implemented the Human Emperor Decree within the Myriad Manifestations Divine Dynasty and integrated various forces, it naturally infringed upon the interests of countless Powerful Magnates.
Among them was Old Ancestor Chixin, an extremely Senior figure whose cultivation had reached the Seventh Revolution Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Relying on his profound cultivation and the intricate network of his sect's forces, he was highly dissatisfied that Lu Fan, this "Yellow-Mouthed Brat," intended to command the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain merely based on Luck. He openly questioned the legitimacy of Lu Fan's Human Emperor qualification at the Human Emperor Assembly, with his words full of provocation. His Disciples further incited the crowd, causing the atmosphere in the venue to immediately become tense.
Jiang Hao's expression changed, and the Qi around him surged.
An invisible Sword Intent condensed around Nangong Wenjian; he was clearly angered as well.
Lu Fan's expression remained unchanged; he was about to speak.
Little Red, who had been squatting lazily on his shoulder like a mascot, suddenly opened its crimson Bird Eyes, a look of extreme impatience flashing within them.
"Noisy!"
It Spoke Human Words. The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly suppressed the clamor of the entire assembly.
The next moment, a terrifying aura that caused the sun and moon to dim and the stars to tremble suddenly awoke.
"Screech—!"
A Phoenix Cry that tore through the firmament resounded across the Nine Heavens. Behind Lu Fan was the massive phantom of a Demon Phoenix, blocking out the sky and sun, its wingspan spanning tens of thousands of miles!
The Demon Phoenix was crimson all over, its feathers resembling the burning Nine Nether Divine Fire. Its eyes were like two Blood Moons, emitting a fierce, predatory aura capable of devouring all things.
This was the manifestation of its Nine Nether Devouring Phoenix might!
Even though its strength had declined significantly compared to its Peak, it was still not something a Grand Unity Golden Immortal could resist.
The arrogance on Old Ancestor Chixin's face instantly turned into boundless terror. He felt as minuscule as dust under this aura, and his Dao Cultivation, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, seemed insignificant before this majesty.
"Se... Senior, spare..."
Before his plea for mercy was finished, the massive Demon Phoenix Phantom casually lifted a claw that seemed capable of crushing stars and gently pressed it down toward the location of Old Ancestor Chiyang.
Under the terrified gaze of countless Immortals and Gods, the renowned Old Ancestor Chixin, along with the Protective Immortal Aura condensed around him and the Lifebound Treasure he had summoned, silently... vanished, as if erased by an eraser!
Utterly annihilated!
Not even a trace of residual aura remained.
Deathly silence.
All the forces that had previously held onto hope and were ready to make a move instantly lost their confidence.
They didn't even have the courage to look up at Lu Fan.
Lu Fan's expression was calm, but he gained a more intuitive understanding of Little Red's power.
He surveyed the silent assembly and spoke lightly:
"The Human Emperor Decree will be implemented starting today. Who still has objections?"
Below the stage, there was a moment of silence.
Soon, someone stepped forward,
"The Human Emperor has commanded; the Mu Family dares not disobey."
"The Human Emperor has commanded; the Flying Immortal Sect dares not disobey."
...Numerous forces began to express their loyalty, not daring to harbor any thoughts of resistance.
Even if Lu Fan asked them to contribute their Family Secret Techniques, they probably wouldn't dare to refuse.
After this battle, the news that Human Emperor Lu Fan was accompanied by a Primordial Ferocious Bird spread to all major forces at an astonishing speed, and no one dared to easily challenge the prestige of this Human Emperor Candidate again.
Countless people speculated about which Human Race Powerful Being stood behind Lu Fan.
