Duomu Zhongjin and Blood Image discovered that the remnants of the Dou Tian Divine Domain had integrated with the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld. Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei separated to investigate the Guming Divine Dynasty and the Black Sky Demon Palace respectively, seeking the truth behind the world's integration.

Black Sky Demon Palace.

As one of the two overlords of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, Black Sky Demon Palace did not establish a dynasty like Guming Divine Dynasty.

Nor did it build such a vast and mighty Divine City.

Black Sky Demon Palace is hidden at the lowest depths of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.

There, shrouded in endless darkness, sees no daylight year-round.

Even the people of the Black Sky Clan dislike appearing here.

Within Black Sky Demon Palace, only people of the Black Sky Clan reside.

Moreover, joining Black Sky Demon Palace requires rigorous standards; one must awaken the bloodline of the Black Heaven Demon God to be eligible.

The Black Heaven Demon God bloodline is as powerful as the bloodline of the Imperial Family of Guming.

Yet, among the Black Sky Clan, few possess the Black Heaven Demon God bloodline.

This is why Black Sky Demon Palace has few people.

Fortunately, the Black Sky Clan is naturally versed in the Karma Dao; they can assess Karma and ensure that no Black Heaven Demon God bloodline from their clan is missed.

At this moment.

Within Black Sky Demon Palace.

Silence pervades.

It’s as if the people at Black Sky Demon Palace find no joy in talking.

Yet, at this moment, a voice is heard.

"The intruder is a Holy Daughter from the Emperor Immortal Sect in the East Desolate of Daozhou within the Xuanhuang Great World, named Zhou Youwei. Her identity is unique; the Karma is too vast to calculate."

This voice, ethereal and aged, carries a hint of gravity.

As this voice echoes, the interior of Black Sky Demon Palace hums with whispers; it seems that everyone is employing powerful methods to divine something.

In the darkness, frequent sounds of spattering blood can be heard.

Accompanied by exclamations.

"... Wasn’t it said that it couldn’t be calculated?"

The previous ethereal, aged voice resounds with a touch of helplessness.

The rest of those in Black Sky Demon Palace remain silent.

They obviously heard, but that doesn’t prevent them from wanting to try.

Only they all failed.

"It shouldn’t be. Our clan has no cause or effect with her, why should she come to our Black Sky Demon Palace?"

Someone expresses deep confusion.

They are versed in the Karma Dao and hold Karma in reverence.

Without cause and effect, why come to invade?

This makes no sense.

"Who will face the enemy?" The aged voice rises.

No one opens their mouth to speak.

Someone whose existence cannot be calculated.

Add to that the absence of cause and effect, yet comes seeking Karma.

For such an existence, they hold a sense of awe.

"I’ll go."

At this moment, a lazy voice rises: "Just a Human Clan girl, what’s there to fear?"

"No way!"

But as this voice rings, it is immediately opposed.

"You are one of the few remaining three Daoists of our Black Sky Demon Palace; if you break seclusion, you might become entangled with some Karma. If any mishap occurs, then our Black Sky Demon Palace’s inheritance might face errors."

"Indeed, you absolutely cannot go!"

Upon hearing these opposing voices, the lazy voice rises again: "But since none of you are willing to act, it can only be me, the Daoist, to take action. Besides..."

"If I happen to encounter mishaps, isn’t that a good thing? It would lessen your dilemmas, leaving you to ponder between just those two fellows."

This lazy voice carries a carefree tone, seemingly completely indifferent: "Alright, I’ll go. Having joined Black Sky Demon Palace for so many years, I’ve never taken action once."

The interior of Black Sky Demon Palace remains filled with voices of opposition.

Yet this Daoist is evidently determined, either send someone else or I’ll go.

Ultimately, Black Sky Demon Palace settles on a compromise, letting two elders escort this Daoist to assess the situation.

If the situation appears unfavorable, they would first escort the Daoist back.

The Daoist sneers at this choice.

Since someone is going, what’s my purpose in going?

The others chuckle, saying if you were left to go alone, danger might befall.

The Daoist candidly remarks: "In that case, when the time comes, you two elders just watch as I act."

Upon hearing this, everyone stops wasting words, only secretly instructing the two elders to ensure they watch over this Daoist carefully.

Although Black Sky Demon Palace has three Daoists, each one is a treasure.

Losing one would be a loss Black Sky Demon Palace can hardly bear.

Henceforth.

Three individuals from Black Sky Demon Palace stepped out.

After breaking through the darkness, their figures emerged.

Among them, the Daoist, dressed in a black robe and with white hair, bears an extremely conspicuous Eight Diagrams Seal on his forehead, his pale eyes revealing a chilling intent to kill, yet the whole person shows laziness, yawning incessantly, seeming not fully awake.

He is called Black Sky Eight Diagrams.

The Eight Diagrams Seal is innately formed, present since birth.

This is the fundamental reason why he could become one of the three Daoists.

His bloodline of the Black Heaven Demon God awakens earlier than anyone else in the Black Sky Clan.

However, the days spent cultivating at Black Sky Demon Palace are incredibly tedious; he lacks enthusiasm.

He envies another Daoist companion, who can go to Guming Divine Dynasty to play, even befriending one of Guming Divine Dynasty’s Divine Daughters, oh wait, Goddess.

He’s very envious.

And another Daoist also roams mysteriously.

Only he has always been confined to Black Sky Demon Palace, watched by a bunch of old men.

An annoyance.

Previously, when Black Sky Demon Palace finally received two ’young and beautiful’ females from the Black Sky Clan, they were dispatched through other means.

Then he never saw them again.

This time, he finally found an excuse to come out of seclusion.

With so many beauties in the world, why stay in a place dark and devoid of daylight?

It’s very dull.

They even tried to fool him, saying that women are tigers, can’t be touched.

That’s complete rubbish.

He’s no three-year-old child.

Moreover, even if they were tigers, so what?

He calculated that although the Tiger Clan from the Demons Great World is a powerful clan, compared to the Black Sky Clan, it still falls short.

"Daoist of the Eight Diagrams, should we test the situation first?"

Behind Black Sky Eight Diagrams, two elders from Black Sky Demon Palace suggest.

"Test what? I’ve already said, either I handle it or you do, and I’ll just go back to sleep."

Black Sky Eight Diagrams lazily replies.

The two elders promptly close their mouths.

"Tsk."

Seeing this, Black Sky Eight Diagrams expresses disdain.

These old fools, they’ve mastered the Karma Dao for too long, and instead, they’ve become frightened by Karma.

"Putting the cart before the horse, it’s no surprise your realm can’t continue to improve."

Black Sky Eight Diagrams speaks plainly.

Upon hearing this, the two elders both smile bitterly, but also feel helpless.

Because it’s Black Sky Eight Diagrams talking.

An existence that once joining Black Sky Demon Palace never left, yet managed to cultivate to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Such talent, they can only sigh in admiration.

Bang!

In the next moment, Black Sky Eight Diagrams suddenly accelerates, shooting out from the dark place where no daylight exists.

Seeing daylight again.

Black Sky Eight Diagrams enjoys this greatly.

The two elders quickly follow, fearing they might lose track.

And not far above, they see an Immortal Mountain Turtle traversing the skies.

That Zhou Youwei is on it.
