Sanyang Demon Venerable and Lei Peng Demon Venerable had been deferring to each other outside the black vortex for a long time, neither willing to be the first to enter.
After all, the unknown always inspired fear.
Finally, each of them selected a Golden Immortal from their respective clans and ordered them to scout ahead.
This was where the advantage of higher cultivation became apparent; at critical moments, one could dictate the fate of others.
The summoned Golden Immortals of the demon race and demon kings could only steel themselves and fly into the unknown black vortex.
The two supreme powerhouses guarded the black vortex. They waited for several months, and there was no reaction from within.
Just as these two supreme powerhouses thought their dispatched subordinates had met their demise and were preparing to devise another plan, the two Golden Immortals flew out of the black vortex.
These two Golden Immortals seemed to have undergone a great shock. As soon as they emerged, they appeared overly excited, their speech somewhat incoherent. It took a considerable amount of time for them to clearly explain what they had seen and heard.
“You’re saying that beyond this black vortex lies another universe?”
As Sanyang Demon Venerable spoke, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, trying his best to appear composed.
Lei Peng Demon Venerable, standing beside him, was even more affected. He was too agitated to speak and could only force himself to remain calm, appearing outwardly unfazed.
Leaving this broken universe had always been their dream. They never expected it to be realized so suddenly today, catching them off guard.
They were so caught up in the moment that they forgot they were here to capture Xiao Fei.
“Absolutely true!”
“We discovered the myriad worlds over there, and an even vaster Immortal Realm.”
“We don’t know its true nature, and we feared alerting them, so we didn’t venture into the Immortal Realm to investigate.”
Sanyang Demon Venerable nodded and patted the demon king’s shoulder.
The demon king immediately fell into a coma. On the other side, Lei Peng Demon Venerable acted almost simultaneously, knocking out his subordinate, the Golden Immortal of the demon race.
The two old schemers exchanged a knowing smile, their expressions conveying mutual understanding.
The news of discovering a new universe was something that definitely could not be leaked for the time being.
They both acted at once, erasing this segment of memory from their subordinates.
Then, they sent the two Golden Immortals back into the Immortal Realm. When these two awoke, they would have forgotten about the black vortex and the discovery of another universe.
After dealing with their subordinates, Sanyang Demon Venerable and Lei Peng Demon Venerable simultaneously flew towards the black vortex…
……………………
Since Xiao Fei had wreaked havoc in the chaotic void, harvesting countless Dao Worms, he had returned to the Guiyi Realm from the black vortex.
He didn’t conceal himself much upon his return, only partially hiding his cultivation. Since he was already being investigated by Guiyi Realm officials, he decided to let things be.
He moved around the Guiyi Realm, occasionally selling rare immortal herbs and elixirs.
A couple of days prior, he had sold a Qian Yuan Immortal Fruit in an immortal city, causing a sensation and fetching an exorbitant price.
This also gave Zhong Li Zhe, who had been troubled recently, a glimmer of hope.
Zhong Li Zhe had scoured the Guiyi Realm but still couldn't find any valuable clues.
Just as he was fretting, he discovered Xiao Fei had revealed himself, much to his delight.
However, according to intelligence, Xiao Fei was backed by a vast organization, with many individuals yet to show themselves.
Therefore, Zhong Li Zhe decided not to alert them for the time being. Instead, he planned to investigate and track them covertly, aiming to expose everyone behind Xiao Fei.
Upon learning of Xiao Fei’s movements, he had been secretly tailing him.
During his pursuit, he also discovered the black vortex in the chaotic void.
This discovery once again filled him with immense surprise and joy.
He now suspected that this black vortex was the lair of Xiao Fei’s group.
Once the lair was successfully located, they could mobilize a large force to eliminate all the enemies hidden within.
Zhong Li Zhe never imagined that such a black vortex could lead to another universe.
After all, such a thing was too bizarre, something even supreme powerhouses hadn't conceived.
He instinctively believed that beyond this black vortex lay the lair of Xiao Fei’s group.
With this discovery, Zhong Li Zhe realized he had made a significant contribution this time.
He immediately dispatched someone to report directly to Emperor Guiyi, while he himself remained outside the black vortex, observing secretly.
Indeed, his efforts paid off. Not long after he began his vigil, he saw a demon king and a Golden Immortal of the demon race fly out of the black vortex.
Good heavens!
The demons and devils harbored an unyielding desire to destroy us!
Three million years ago, Emperor Guiyi led the human race to pacify the demons and devils of this realm, establishing the Guiyi Realm as a human dominion.
Now, simultaneously discovering Golden Immortals of both the demon and devil races emerging from the black vortex allowed Zhong Li Zhe to further deduce the identity of this hidden force.
He had indeed stumbled upon a major catch this time.
Thus, Emperor Guiyi received such intelligence.
The demons and devils, defeated by Emperor Guiyi three million years ago, were unwilling to accept their defeat by the human race. They had been lurking in the shadows, developing in secret, waiting for an opportunity to counter-attack the human race.
The Golden Immortals who had previously attacked Earth Dog City were the death warriors recruited and trained by this demon and devil force.
“Order General Tian Ji to lead the seventy-two Earth Fiend divisions to launch a full-scale assault on the demon and devil lair!”
General Tian Ji was one of the rare supreme powerhouses among the 108 Generals.
Upon receiving Emperor Guiyi’s command, General Tian Ji personally led the army to annihilate the demon and devil lair.
The Guiyi Realm had enjoyed peace for three million years. All the soldiers yearned to earn military merits on the battlefield. Now, hearing that they were to assault the demon and devil lair, they were all excited to the point of shouting!
None of them feared the power of demons and devils; they only worried that there were too few of them, and their strength was too weak to be worthy of their military merits.
General Tian Ji led the army, a vast procession heading towards the location of the black vortex.
Along the way, they frightened many small animals into scurrying and children into ceasing their cries!
As their army approached the black vortex, Zhong Li Zhe, who had been waiting, immediately greeted them and joined forces with the army.
“So it’s General Zhong. What is the situation?”
Zhong Li Zhe briefly recounted the intelligence he had gathered while staking out the area to General Tian Ji.
“Good! General Zhong, you have worked hard!”
“The army will advance with me!”
General Tian Ji immediately led his troops towards the black vortex.
Just as they were about to get close, they saw two powerful auras rise.
From within the black vortex, two imposing figures flew out.
One had three heads and six arms, while the other had wings on his back.
“Good heavens, we’ve found the lair!”
“Everyone, charge with me!”
General Tian Ji roared, leading the charge himself, lunging towards the demons and devils emerging from the black hole.
