Chitian Tower launches a massive counter-attack against the Sky-Split Race after suffering devastating losses. Meanwhile, the Emperor of the Demon Race from Demon Emperor Lake seeks aid from the Sky-Split Race's Demon Ancestor but is brutally killed. The Demon Ancestor then tasks another with observing demons rapidly gaining power.

"Two days to enter the Upper Realm, are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"What kind of demon?"

"Ape Race."

"What bloodline?"

"The Titan Giant Ape bloodline, the strongest of the Ape Race, but it cannot harness the Power of Nature, so it should not be the bloodline of the Titan Emperor."

Upon receiving this answer, Star Night fell into contemplation, and images of the tumultuous world from a thousand years ago involuntarily surfaced in his mind, "This is not a matter of the bloodline. A thousand years ago, after the undefeated Titan Emperor entered the Demon God Realm, he evolved into a top-tier bloodline, capable of sensing and wielding the Power of Nature. However, it took him a whole century to ascend from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm."

"Star Night Demon Ancestor, I will immediately bring him to see you!" Fu Yan immediately responded and turned to leave Howling Abyss for Wuyou Swamp.

Star Night stopped him, advising, "And also their clan’s emperor!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Fu Yan spread his wings and flew out of Howling Abyss.

Although he left, the suspicion he left in Star Night’s mind lingered.

Because ascending from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm in just two days is beyond what even top-tier bloodlines can achieve.

Even the legendary bloodline of the demon race that can manipulate the Power of Heaven and Earth has never achieved this.

This is something impossible.

For the Human Race.

Impossible.

For the Demon Race.

Also impossible.

Earth Unrestricted and Demon God Realm are neither Profound nor Divine Profound.

If Earth Unrestricted and Demon God Realm were so easy to cultivate and breaking realms was so trivial, then the billions of the Sky-Split Race would not have only over ten thousand Demon Gods.

In the human territories, a large region typically has at least tens of billions, sometimes two or three hundred billion people, yet only a few ten thousand achieve Earth Unrestricted.

At this moment, Star Night no longer considered the emergence of a mere few hundred Demon Gods to be an insignificant trifle, as the cold wind swept from the depths of the earth had already carried such dismissive thoughts to the distant skies.

Now, he had only one thought.

What exactly is the origin of the demon race that suddenly invaded Wuyou Swamp?

Now, speaking of Fu Yan.

After leaving Howling Abyss, he immediately descended upon Wuyou Swamp, causing the swamp demons within to be greatly exhilarated.

They thought he had come to assist them.

Huaikong and Shifeng, however, felt a twinge of tension inside.

"Second brother, it is the Sky-Split Race!"

Shifeng’s expression turned grim, and the joy that once filled his face was instantly replaced by vigilance and gravity.

For no other reason.

Simply because if the Sky-Split Race helped the swamp demon race, with the current overall power of the Lake Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake, there would be no suspense.

They would be utterly defeated!

Of course, they would not be annihilated.

The Sect Leader would certainly appear.

But the Sect Leader had already given their demon race an opportunity to soar, and if they failed to seize it themselves, if the Sect Leader was willing to rescue them this time, what about next time?

Moreover, would the Sect Leader think that cultivating the Lake Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake was ultimately meaningless?

After all, there are indeed too many other demon races in this world that are not only superior to the Lake Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake but also stronger.

"No need to worry." Huaikong immediately took action, moving closer to the approaching Fu Yan, while conveying the Demon Emperor’s will that all demons should fight and retreat, first keeping away from the battlefield and guarding against any sudden attack from Fu Yan. Tai Shan, Peach Girl, and other demons remained behind to prevent the swamp demons from taking advantage to counterattack.

However, Fu Yan was not particularly concerned about the changes in the battlefield; his gaze merely swept over the mountain-like Tai Shan before finally settling on the approaching Huaikong.

"You must be the Demon Emperor, right? Star Night Demon Ancestor wants to see you!"

From the very start, his tone was unfriendly.

Huaikong responded cautiously, "See me?"

"Yes, and also that Titan Giant Ape." Fu Yan’s gaze fell upon Tai Shan, who was punching to kill a pursuing Demon God Realm swamp demon.

Despite Fu Yan’s rudeness, Huaikong, though slightly irritated, did not act out because the time was not yet ripe.

At this moment, he needed to tolerate.

The Lake Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake also needed to tolerate.

"After our clan’s war ends, I will bring him to Howling Abyss and personally pay a visit." Huaikong complied.

However, Fu Yan angrily retorted in a low voice, "Now!"

"Now?"

Huaikong was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected the Demon Ancestor of the Sky-Split Race to be so overbearing, giving him no time at all.

"Star Night Demon Ancestor is waiting for you; if you don’t want to end up like the swamp demon race, you’d better come with me now." Fu Yan offered no room for negotiation, and after finishing speaking, he turned and flew towards Howling Abyss.

Shifeng hurriedly stepped forward to block Huaikong, unwilling to let Huaikong meet with the evidently hostile Star Night Demon Race, and he used Spiritual Power to communicate, intending to go to Howling Abyss in Huaikong’s stead.

The Lake Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake can do without Shifeng.

But they must have Huaikong!

Huaikong shook his head, rejecting Shifeng’s request, "With the Sect Leader here, there’s no need to worry."

After speaking, like Fu Yan, he paid no attention to Shifeng’s negotiations, taking Taishan along, he immediately followed behind Fu Yan toward the Howling Abyss, disappearing into the night.

The next day.

Just at dawn.

Pingping returned to the Immortal Sect from the Final Forbidden Area. Although the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent could not enter the Great Success Realm, the overall power had greatly improved.

The third style of the Cyan Lotus Seven Swords — Cyan Lotus Sword Dance.

Successfully mastered!

Pingping now felt that with just this third style, even without using the Soul Stripping special ability of the Vortex Map, he could instantly kill any Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm expert.

As for the Upper Realm.

He would still have to battle to find out.

After leaving seclusion, the first thing Pingping did was check on Celestial String’s situation.

Immediately, he opened the personal summary.

[Elder: Celestial String]

[In cultivation in the Fifth World...]

"Can’t believe it’s already gathered 100 sect task points so quickly, it’s truly Heaven Unrestricted, completing sect tasks really fast," Pingping muttered, casually closing Celestial String’s personal information, then opening the overall information on the Lake Demon Race.

[Lake Demon Race]

[Affiliate power of the Immortal Sect]

[Current Demon Emperor: Huaikong]

[Status: Hundredfold increase, in Black Domain conquest...]

[Overall power: Number of Demon Ancestors: Two; Number of Demon Gods: One thousand thirty; Number of Demon Kings: Three hundred twenty thousand; Below Demon King: Ninety-three million seven hundred twenty thousand.]

"Over a thousand Demon Gods now!"

Pingping was somewhat surprised.

This was only after a few days.

The hundredfold increase was indeed terrifying.

Pingping opened the number of Demon Gods section, looking at the more detailed information.

Although among these one thousand thirty Demon Gods, seven hundred were only Lower Realm beings, there was an existence in the Upper Realm born.

The power of the Lake Demon Race doubled within days.

For such a result, Pingping was quite satisfied.

If everything goes smoothly, in half a year, the Lake Demon Race will certainly soar up and become the strongest demon race in Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

Of course.

The premise is that everything goes smoothly.

After closing the demon race’s information, Pingping took out the Sound Transmission Stone from the Storage Ring, and just when he took out the stone, Chen Xie sent a message.

"Sect Leader, you’re finally out."

Pingping glanced at the tree-planting team on the opposite mountain and the stretch of undead trees, asking, "Did the Sky-Split Race make a move against the Lake Demon Race?"

"Sect Leader, weren’t you in secluded cultivation?" Chen Xie was a bit surprised.

Pingping calmly replied, "I’ve long anticipated this. As long as the Sky-Split Race isn’t foolish, they wouldn’t allow Huaikong to continue developing quietly."

"Sect Leader, due to being unable to contact you, Shifeng kept asking when you’d come out of seclusion. Last night, Demon Emperor Huaikong was ’invited’ to the Howling Abyss by a Demon Ancestor of the Sky-Split Race. It’s been two and a half hours now, and there’s still no news."

Chen Xie wasn’t overly panicked, as previously, even when the entire Sky-Split Race besieged Elder Wood Dragon, the Sect Leader could safely rescue Elder Wood Dragon. Now the Howling Abyss, without a Demon Emperor stationed, only has one Forbidden Demon Ancestor, isn’t it just free for the Sect Leader to come and go?

After hearing this, Pingping immediately opened Huaikong’s information.

[Huaikong]

[Race: Demon Race]

...

The last was Huaikong’s status information.

[In the Underworld war...]

"Go handle your own business," Pingping instructed Chen Xie, then put away the Sound Transmission Stone, but he didn’t have any intention to send Wood Dragon.

Wood Dragon going would be more than enough to kill the Forbidden Demon Ancestor of the Sky-Split Race.

But that would also expose the relationship between the Lake Demon Race and Wood Dragon, the Sky-Split Race would immediately focus all their attacks on Huaikong and others.

If it were before.

So be it.

After all, Pingping also considered the Sky-Split Race as a sparring partner for the Lake Demon Race.

But it’s different now.

The battle between the Sky-Split Race and the Shade Tower not only gave the Lake Demon Race a safer period for growth but also gave the Immortal Sect time to develop.

Pingping asked, "System, what is the bloodline level of the Forbidden Demon Ancestor currently in the Howling Abyss?"

"Ordinary bloodline."

The system responded.

"That poses no threat to Huaikong." Possessing an S-level bloodline Chaos Taotie, no matter what, would not lose to a Middle Realm Demon Ancestor that’s not even A-level.
