In the Demon God Mountain, within a grand hall, numerous oil lamps, both bright and dim, were enshrined. However, one lamp, bearing the inscription "Dark Night," suddenly extinguished.
In the hall, a gaunt demon god, dozing on a chair, was startled awake.
He looked up and discovered that an oil lamp in the hall had gone out. The lampstand beneath it bore the characters "Dark Night."
The gaunt demon god, jolted from his chair, immediately rushed out.
Moments later, the entire Demon God Mountain was in chaos, a scene of utter pandemonium.
The seed, cultivated with vast resources as the next supreme being, had perished just like that.
The entire demon race was plunged into fury. Even their ancestor, the Three Suns Demon Venerable, had issued a decree.
The human race must be annihilated, not a single soul left!
With this, the entire Nether Sky Realm was mobilized, and all idle individuals were called to arms.
Six out of the seven Demon Kings on Demon God Mountain were deployed at once, leaving only one to guard the Nether Sky Realm.
The previously sealed Nether Sky Realm now flung its gates wide open, and a massive demon army surged forth.
Some merchant caravans, trapped by the closure of the Nether Sky Realm, seized this opportunity to follow the demon army out.
Zhang Yi, guarding the Jade Void Palace, quickly learned of the demon race's massive invasion through his intelligence network.
However, his two avatars and the immortal artifact of the small world, which he had hidden within the Nether Sky Realm, did not return during this opportunity.
Since the danger had now passed and the demon race had mobilized its entire force, the threat level within the Nether Sky Realm had significantly decreased.
He could remain in the Nether Sky Realm temporarily as a hidden pawn, potentially playing a crucial role at a critical moment.
With the demon race's full mobilization, the allied demon and other races naturally would not be outdone. They unleashed their ultimate strength, vowing to annihilate the entire human race in this battle.
As the armies advanced, the human forces stationed outside the钧天界 (Jun Tian Realm) were forced to retreat repeatedly.
In combat tiers below Immortal Lord, the human race had long held an advantage.
However, above Immortal Lord, especially at the Golden Immortal level, humanity's strength was far inferior to the combined might of all other races.
In the spatial realm, Huang Feifei and Xiao Fei's attire was slightly disheveled.
With the demon army now attacking, the two could only temporarily postpone their further plans.
Xiao Fei was somewhat dejected. They were so close, only to have their progress interrupted by the demons.
"Young Master, how do you plan for me to act? Should I join the battle directly?"
Huang Feifei tidied her slightly messy hair, her cheeks flushed a tender red, perhaps from excitement.
She was now a Golden Immortal realm powerhouse, yet she still preferred to follow Xiao Fei's arrangements.
"No! You and Ji Wudi do not need to engage in the frontal assault. We will raid the homes of the demon-alliance."
Huang Feifei, now a Golden Immortal, would indeed alleviate some pressure for the human Golden Immortals if she joined the battlefield.
However, the number of Golden Immortals in the demon-alliance was more than three times that of the human race.
Even if Huang Feifei and Ji Wudi, both Golden Immortals, were immediately deployed, it would only offer minor relief and could not fundamentally alter the course of the battle.
Xiao Fei had already made his plans for this.
He had previously intended to cultivate Ning to the fourth rank, enabling Ning to assist him in raiding the demon-alliance's territory.
He needed immortal stones, to collect all the immortal stones in the immortal realm, to smoothly break through to the Golden Immortal realm.
Now that the demon-alliance had mobilized its entire force to attack the human race's 钧天界 (Jun Tian Realm), their rear bases must be empty, with little force left to guard them.
Although the demon-alliance had now completely surrounded the 钧天界 (Jun Tian Realm), for Golden Immortal realm powerhouses, it was not difficult to slip out of their encirclement unnoticed.
Three days later, Xiao Fei, Huang Feifei, and Ji Wudi found themselves beside a lake.
Here resided a race known as the Yi people, a minor race in the immortal realm, whose strongest member was only a Golden Immortal.
The Yi people actually had some blood relation to the human race. They resembled humans in appearance, but with some scales on their bodies and an extra tail, making them a close relative of humanity.
However, seeing the human race's weakness, the Yi people had long ago pledged allegiance to the demon-alliance, becoming pawns in their attack on humanity.
With the demon-alliance's massive invasion this time, the Yi people had also mobilized their entire race. Now, very few Yi experts remained in this lake.
"Ji Wudi, take it easy. Don't kill them all at once."
Xiao Fei stood before the two Golden Immortals, hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of mastery.
"Understood, just watch me. I'll scare them to death!"
Upon receiving Xiao Fei's instructions, Ji Wudi immediately drew a gleaming, forty-zhang long saber.
He raised the saber high with both hands and cleaved it directly towards the lake.
With a deafening roar, the lake water rapidly evaporated. Many fish at the bottom of the now dry lake were stunned by the impact, lying belly-up on the mud.
In the center of the lakebed lay a crystal palace, its outer perimeter protected by a shimmering barrier.
A group of Yi people, startled by the blow, shouted from behind the barrier but dared not emerge.
"Quick! Quick! Send word to the Ancestor!"
"The humans have reached our doorstep!"
"Hurry! Or we will all die!"
Facing a Golden Immortal level powerhouse, the Yi people were already terrified and in disarray.
At this moment, Ji Wudi, carrying his golden saber, flew directly above the crystal palace and struck the barrier below with another powerful blow.
The protective formation composed of crystal light, though quite sturdy, did not shatter after this strike.
Ji Wudi's wild laughter, coupled with the relentless strikes of his golden saber, was enough to terrify the Yi people within the barrier into utter panic.
He seemed to have a penchant for sadism, not rushing to break the formation, but rather savoring the Yi people's fear.
The moment Ji Wudi swung his first saber, the Yi people's Golden Immortal ancestor on the front lines sensed it.
He immediately flew back with great urgency.
Upon his return to the lake, he saw Ji Wudi still hacking away with his great saber and slowly relaxed.
"Halt, old villain, and put down your butcher's knife!"
The Yi people's Golden Immortal ancestor roared. The Yi people, trembling behind the barrier, finally saw their savior return and were overjoyed.
"Hahaha... Ancestor has finally returned!"
"We are saved!"
"Ancestor will surely slay this arrogant wretch!"
However, before they could rejoice, the next moment they saw black and white light ascend, engulfing their ancestor.
Following this, they witnessed a cultivator summon a yellow gourd and aim it towards the direction of the black and white light.
The yellow light, along with their Golden Immortal ancestor, vanished into the gourd.
