"Ding, the host has obtained the Primordial Demon Qi, 'Who is the Demon among Demons' has completed 3/6 stages, stage reward: one exclusive Demon Path lottery."

The mechanical sound of the system echoed in his ear.

"Hmm? Even half of the Primordial Demon Qi counts as completed?" Qing Yu looked thoughtfully at the Demon Qi in his hand.

Due to the Sword God's interception of half, only half of the Primordial Demon Qi was obtained. Qing Yu originally thought it was a wasted effort, but unexpectedly, even half of the Qi counted.

"Perhaps because the nature of the Demon Qi hasn't been damaged," Qing Yu speculated.

In the current world, there is only one true Heavenly Demon, and that is the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sky Demon Sword God. The rest of the Heavenly Demons have left only Demon Qi remaining in the world.

In terms of power, these residual Demon Qi are of little benefit to the Supreme warriors, only the legacy left within the Demon Qi holds the greatest value.

"System, use the exclusive Demon Path lottery," Qing Yu commanded.

"Demon Path exclusive lottery, drawing······"

"Ding, congratulations host, you've obtained the Five and a Half Star Item·Emperor's Hatred."

In the late Shang Dynasty, King Zhou suffered defeat, Chaoge was broken, and thus he self-immolated at Lu Platform.

Before dying, he birthed boundless hatred, cursing the Heavenly Dao's injustice and mankind's indifference, causing the spirits of twenty-nine ancient emperors from the Yin Shang Ancestral Tomb to resonate, transforming into Fire Souls and breaking out from the tomb, flying to Lu Platform to join King Zhou in the flames.

The immense hatred of thirty generations of emperors intertwined with the Heavenly Demon Bead, melting King Zhou's crown armor and sword, using the Demon Bead as the source of evil power, using Zhou's crown scale as the handle, imprinting the thirty emperors' hearts of grievance into thirty sharp blades, ultimately forging the Heavenly Demon Soldier, Emperor's Hatred.

"Emperor's Hatred Demon Sword," Qing Yu drew this Heavenly Demon Soldier, "the right hand of the Primordial Sky Demon······"

The ten Heavenly Demon Beads are all transformed from parts of the Primordial Sky Demon's essence. Qing Yu previously acquired beads formed from the left hand, left foot, right foot, twin horns, and the ear of the Heavenly Demon, now the Emperor's Hatred Demon Sword is a bead transformed from the right hand essence.

"Henceforth, become a part of me."

The Reverse Demon Origin coalesced into a dark vortex enveloping Emperor's Hatred, invisible force making it creak, the crimson blade constantly emitting sounds of unbearable weight.

"I hate!"

"Hate, hate, hate······"

The thirty imperial souls within Emperor's Hatred were agitated, emerging from the blade, spewing hatred and burning the dark vortex.

"Hate!"

One of the Fire Souls clung to the vortex's edge, shouting, "The Heavenly Dao is unjust!"

Clearly, these imperial souls were unwilling to disappear, transformed into Qing Yu's nourishment; they wished to make a final rebellion.

But······

It's useless.

"What does the Heavenly Dao care about the rise and fall of your dynasty," Qing Yu exerted force, the Reverse Demon Origin akin to the beginning of demons, devouring all, grinding Emperor's Hatred Demon Sword into pieces.

If good and evil are rewarded, the Qiankun must be partial. Qing Yu didn't know about Zhou's world, but in his world, the Heavenly Dao is a rigid program.

He was blacklisted by the Heavenly Dao not because of his killings, but because Nine Heavens' group wanted to break through the Heavenly Domain's blockade, defying the heavens.

If not for this, with Qing Yu's Heavenly Person's Heart Realm, he might have contested the position of Heavenly Dao Spokesperson with the Supreme Master.

Thus, the Heavenly Dao has no good or evil, and the rise and fall of dynasties, what's it to It?

"Boom—"

The Demon Sword turned into a blaze, blooming its last brilliance, allowing Qing Yu to admire the final glory of the Yin Shang emperors.

Afterward, they were consumed.

A hot stream surged into his right hand, merging with flesh and blood, further enhancing the strength of the Saint and Demon Embryo, also slightly improving Qing Yu's power.

"The sixth Demon Weapon, the Saint and Demon balance further, just short of the remaining four Heavenly Demon Soldiers," Qing Yu shook his right hand, feeling the situation within, and said.

The Heavenly Crystal is Saintly, the Demon Bead is Demonic, Qing Yu has absorbed the Nine Pillar Heavenly Crystal, the Saint Energy has suppressed the Demon.

Currently, the Saint and Demon balance is forced by Qing Yu using Ten Directions Destruction and Reverse Demon Origin, requiring mental power to maintain. This is why, although knowing the Heavenly Demon Beads are transformed from Primordial Sky Demon Essence, Qing Yu hesitated to absorb them.

Originally, he intended to gather all the Heavenly Demon Soldiers and absorb them together, but due to the cultivation of Reverse Demon Origin and the pressure from the Dao Ancestor, he absorbed them in advance, forcibly balancing.

If not for this, he wouldn't have greatly increased his power, unleashed Divine's Move, and possessed invincible might.

"Next, it's the Heavenly Demon Palace."

Qing Yu inhaled the Primordial Demon Qi into his body, letting it assimilate with the Reverse Demon Origin, staring at Hong Province, where the Heavenly Demon Realm is located.

Since mastering the Reverse Demon Origin, Qing Yu no longer worried about conflicts with Heavenly Demon Energy, as all will assimilate into the Demon Origin, leaving no room for conflict.

Xuanyin Sword Residence and Xiao Qiye flew over from afar, landed behind Qing Yu, and saluted: "Greetings, Daoist Master."

After salutation, Xuanyin Sword Residence stated: "Daoist Master, a great battle occurred in southern Xuanzhou; perhaps a Supreme attacked Hou Qian Capital, clashing with Shengde Emperor."

"Hmm, I sensed the aura of 'Heavenly Scroll' and 'Earth Scroll'; it seems Daqian seized the chance during Northern Zhou's chaos to squeeze the soft persimmon," Qing Yu nodded.

To Daqian currently, Hou Qian is a soft persimmon, only supported by Northern Zhou to avoid losing Hou Qian as a shield.

Now that Northern Zhou is in chaos, unable to spare itself, Daqian would be foolish not to seize this chance to capture Hou Qian, and Mu Cangsheng and other decision-makers would be too dumb if they didn't.

"Daoist Master, what should we do?" Xuanyin Sword Residence asked.

The destruction of the Hou Qian is a foregone conclusion, irrevocable. The territory of the Daqian Force will further expand, also becoming a fact.

But we cannot let the Daqian grow unchecked, because Qing Yu knows, allowing this will accelerate the Human Emperor's recovery.

So...

"Sword Residence, you and Qi Ye return to help Emperor Zhou quell the rebellion."

Qing Yu's figure slowly faded from solid to illusory, "I will suppress the Heavenly Demon Palace, and take Hong Province along the way."

The Lian Family, the head of the families in Hong Province, can be considered one of Qing Yu's subordinate forces. With this local power and Qing Yu as the opportunist, taking Hong Province will not be an issue.

"Yes, Daoist Master."

After the two paid their respects, Qing Yu's figure completely disappeared.

.........

Inside the Heavenly Demon Realm.

The majestic and dignified Heavenly Demon Palace was illuminated by the array's light. Several figures fiercely clashed within the array, and the aftermath of the battle shook the palace-protecting array.

"Lan Cang, the Heavenly Demon Realm is already sealed. You traitors have no escape."

Corpse Qi spun like a whirlpool. The elder with gray hair and blue eyes clasped his palms together, and the handprint transformed into paths of demon shadows, "Heavenly Corpse Shattering Universe."

"Yin Immortal Ji."

Lan Cang similarly raised his palms, and the grayish-white Qi Force transformed and converged into a massive handprint. The realm of neither life nor death flowed on it, meeting the demon shadows' strike.

The confrontation was extremely intense. Demon shadows flew around, appearing both demonic and ghostly, while the handprint was neither living nor dead, exuding a strange atmosphere.

But when the two figures shifted positions, an unplanned shared strike left both sides significantly injured.

"Cough, cough," Lan Cang wiped away the dark-colored blood from the corner of his mouth, "I did not expect, even with you as an Undecomposed Bone, you possess such formidable strength."

The Hall Master of the Respected Demon Hall led people to Northern Zhou to assist the Taoist rebels. At this moment, the strongest person in the Heavenly Demon Palace was this old ghost before him.

He was also from the Shiyin Hall and likewise an Undecomposed Bone, but unlike others like Su Chengyu who achieved the state, this person was transformed from a dying disciple of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Before becoming an Undecomposed Bone, he was the Demon Lord's martial uncle, and also the former Hall Master of the Respected Demon Hall.

"Hand over the Dark Demon Armor and other secret treasures. The old man will allow the Demon Lord to leave you with a complete corpse." The former Hall Master of the Respected Demon Hall, Snow City Old Monster, discreetly hid his injured arm in his sleeve and coldly warned.

Lan Cang has studied the Corpse Refining Technique for many years and has achieved considerable success. Snow City Old Monster is usually ruthless, but at this moment he uncharacteristically showed a bit of good intentions, not sincerely, but because he realized capturing Lan Cang would cost too much.

"The Demon Lord, hmm hmm," Lan Cang chuckled, "Are you still thinking about the Demon Lord now?"

"You in the Heavenly Demon Palace cannot feel it, but we outsiders noticed just now. The rope tied around our necks is gone."

"That's impossible," Snow City Old Monster instinctively refuted, "The Primordial Demon Heart Crystal is in the Demon Lord's personal space. It's impossible for others to extract it unless the Demon Lord wills it. The Demon Lord would never release the restriction."

"Of course the Demon Lord wouldn't lift the restriction himself, but what if his personal space broke? What if the Primordial Demon Heart Crystal was torn apart by the spatial vortex?"

Lan Cang's words darkened Snow City Old Monster's face, filling him with a sense of foreboding.

The Demon Lord would certainly never break the restriction, but if the Primordial Demon Heart Crystal was destroyed, the restriction would release on its own. The collapse of personal space may not harm a Supreme, but it could indeed destroy an item left behind by a Supreme.

In other words...

"The Demon Lord—" Lan Cang shouted, his voice echoing in all directions, "He is dead!"

"The Demon Lord is dead!"

The four remaining Undecomposed Bones also shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the Heavenly Demon Realm, causing many to stop in disbelief.

"Nonsense, kill them!" Snow City Old Monster roared, "Kill these traitors!"

No matter if the Demon Lord was dead or not, there was no time to debate it now. The urgent task was to kill the traitors like Lan Cang, and figure out the rest later.

"What's the point of deceiving yourself?"

Lan Cang, using the Dark Demon Armor for protection against Snow City Old Monster's attacks, moved closer to the other Undecomposed Bones, "Today, not only will the Demon Lord die, but the Heavenly Demon Palace will also become history."

"Because..."

"He has arrived."

As soon as the words were said, a piercing sound came from mid-air, "Gaa—"

The killing intent in Snow City Old Monster's heart surged, as an ominous feeling bubbled up like a spring, immediately turning his head to look at the source of the sound.

Then, he saw the source of the misfortune, saw the cracking of the sky.

The dark red sky of the Heavenly Demon Realm split with black scars, with ugly, web-like cracks spreading across the sky.

"Crack—"

A sound like shattering glass rang out, as a black hole-like deep opening expanded.
