A higher-level five-fold Cultivation Realm nearby has been destroyed.
The destroyed five-fold Cultivation Realm is filled with Netherworld's Qi, with creatures from the Netherworld, and these Netherworld presences will seep outward.
When they seep here, this world's environment will start to gradually deteriorate.
The era of True Spirit extinction means that the cultivators in this world can no longer cultivate more powerful Profound Arts.
Now, with the seeping of Netherworld's Qi, the era of Heavenly Disaster is about to erupt.
The era of Heavenly Disaster is the world's backlash against the Netherworld's Qi, also the hell for ordinary people, the nightmare for cultivators...
As for the Celestial Demon, because it is soul-less, merely a result of Cause and Evil Thought, can it flow from one Cultivation Realm to another through the Sea of Suffering?
If so, the Sea of Suffering... doesn't exist only in one world.
The Celestial Demon's purpose is to possess and descend, transforming into a higher-tier Celestial Demon through Sacrifice and Devouring, and then move to the next world?
Many thoughts flashed, and in Song Yan's eyes appeared a look of contemplation.
Whether it is the era of Dark Heavenly Disaster is easy to verify, because if it indeed is... he will soon witness it.
But now, he has more important matters to attend to.
The Celestial Demon youth saw him deep in thought and seized the moment to continue devouring the life force within the Sacrificial Array. He had laid this ambush here for a long time with the sole purpose of devouring this wave of living beings, thereby enhancing his power, and then, after several decades, striking the Divine Infant Realm at the Void Edge.
Using Evil Thought to ensnare the host, allowing the host to grow stronger, the Divine Soul to become formidable, then hunt creatures to nourish the Evil Thought. If the world is destroyed, abandon the host and drift along the Sea of Suffering, gambling on reaching the next world.
This is the Celestial Demon.
Song Yan glanced at the direction of the Yin Mansion Sacrificial Array.
The Loose Cultivators were all but gone, but they were mere appetizers; the real main course was the Late Stage of Purple Mansion Long Yinghai, Ye Congfeng, and the Middle Stage Divine Tiger King...
The Celestial Demon youth accelerated his devouring pace.
Only by absorbing these three people would this venture be truly successful; the previous ones were inconsequential.
Meanwhile, Long Yinghai, Ye Congfeng, and the Divine Tiger King had to resist the Sacrifice while also fending off the Celestial Demon youth's devouring, their body's power rapidly depleted, growing even weaker with time. Even if at this moment the Celestial Demon youth ceased controlling the array, they were already like frogs not struggling in boiling water, powerless to escape.
Song Yan retracted his gaze, eyes twinkling with a gleam.
The opportunity he awaited... had arrived.
At this moment, the Celestial Demon youth suddenly spoke: "You must be the Demon Monk who obtained the True Meaning of Deception in this world, right?"
His lips were very red, his eyes... very bright.
True Meaning of Deception?
Could it be that there are many kinds of Demon Monks?
The thought flashed and disappeared, Song Yan nodded with a look of confusion, and said: "I indeed have only recently been born, what about you?"
The Celestial Demon youth's eyes turned, smiling, and said: "I am the same, only I did not obtain the True Meaning of Deception, unable to beguile people's hearts. What I obtained was the True Meaning of Theft, which made me sensitive to treasures, enabling me to find this Ancient Tomb site early and lay an ambush here...
Ah, since we two are so destined, why don't you wait a little, after I finish eating, how about we stroll together and discuss the Dao?
Among Celestial Demons, the same kind is closest and should most help each other. We two as Demon Monks ought to be close to each other."
Song Yan glanced again in the direction of the Sacrificial Array, suddenly said: "Forget it, this time I have obtained a True Spirit Fragment and am already satisfied. Let's meet again if fate allows."
With that, he directly walked towards the True Spirit Jade Statue to the side, intending to put the jade statue into his Storage Space and leave.
The Celestial Demon youth's eyes showed a hint of urgency, proactively spoke again, laughing: "Why leave in such haste? How about this, among the three left in the Sacrificial Array, I give you one, how about that?"
Song Yan exclaimed in surprise: "How can that be?"
The Celestial Demon youth laughed: "It's all among family, eating from the same plate, just don't be choosy."
Song Yan said: "Etiquette is less important than obedience."
The Celestial Demon youth retracted his huge bloody mouth, making some space.
With a thought, a gigantic face appeared in front of Song Yan, opening its mouth to devour fiercely, directing it straight towards the Celestial Demon youth. As the giant lips slightly parted to ingest, they reversed and spat out a Flying Sword light, the sword light sharp and incredibly sudden like a long rainbow shooting towards the Celestial Demon youth.
But the Celestial Demon youth seemed to have anticipated it, his hand had already raised unknowingly, and with just two fingers, he caught Song Yan's sneak attack Flying Sword.
Time seemed to freeze for an instant.
The friendliness from before vanished in an instant.
Yet it felt perfectly natural, without any sense of incongruity.
The Celestial Demon youth eerily said: "I thought if I shared a bite with you, you would slowly make a move."
Song Yan laughed: "Wasn't this just a test of your power? If the power is insufficient, I would just devour by myself. Why would I need you to share a bite then?"
The Celestial Demon youth's eyes lit up, laughed: "Indeed. And now?"
Song Yan nodded: "You are very good, so you eat the bigger portion, I'll eat the smaller one. This time, if I hadn't acted, you might not have succeeded. So, it's reasonable for me to take a bite."
Saying this, he retracted his giant mouth, slowly turned towards the Sacrificial Array direction.
The Celestial Demon youth kept watching him, only withdrawing his gaze when Song Yan truly aimed at the Sacrificial Array direction.
And at this moment, Song Yan suddenly turned his head again at lightning speed, taking a bite towards the Celestial Demon youth, with a flick of his tongue, shooting out the Flying Sword once more.
The Celestial Demon youth almost simultaneously made a move, his five fingers pounced, grabbing the Flying Sword.
The air instantly solidified once more, just like before.
Though both had stilled their hands, in an instant, they once again made a move, and once more reached a balance.
