With ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍every step he took, the entire cavern trembled.

Outside ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the cavern lay barren mountains and wilderness.

Xuan ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Zhenzi stood suspended in midair, dressed in flowing white robes with a longsword strapped across his back, carrying the bearing of an immortal sage.

He ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍looked down upon the cavern entrance overflowing with demon qi below, a faint smile resting on his lips.

“Come ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍out. This seat knows you can hear me.”

Before his words even finished, the cavern entrance exploded apart.

Rocks scattered everywhere as dust filled the air.

A gigantic figure strode out from within the smoke and dust.

The Bull Demon Demon King stood at the entrance, staring at the tiny human figure in the sky.

“You’re the one who killed this king’s patrolling demon underlings?”

Xuan Zhenzi smiled calmly.

“Indeed, it was this seat. You demon fiend occupy the Western Wasteland and bring calamity upon all living beings. Today, this seat shall act on behalf of heaven and slay demons and eliminate ev—”

“Why waste words!”

The Bull Demon Demon King gave him no chance to finish speaking. He stepped forward, causing the ground to crack apart as his enormous fist, wrapped in monstrous demon qi, smashed downward!

Xuan Zhenzi’s expression changed as he hurriedly dodged.

The force of the fist brushed past him and slammed into a small mountain behind him, directly blasting the mountaintop into dust.

Cold sweat broke out across Xuan Zhenzi’s body, followed immediately by furious anger.

“You brute bull! You’re at least a Demon King—don’t you even know how to exchange a few opening words?!”

The Bull Demon Demon King grinned savagely.

“Exchange my ass! I’ll beat you to death first!”

With that, he threw another punch.

Xuan Zhenzi was so enraged smoke nearly rose from all seven orifices, yet he could only focus himself and fight seriously.

He waved a hand, and the longsword behind him flew from its sheath.

It was a snow-white longsword.

One of the supreme-grade magic treasures he obtained within the secret realm—

Frost Sword.

The sword emerged like a dragon as icy qi spread everywhere.

Xuan Zhenzi wielded the sword and charged forward, battling the Bull Demon Demon King head-on.

One was a human heaven’s favored son at the early stage of Tribulation Crossing Realm with exquisite swordsmanship and numerous magic treasures.

The other was a Demon King at the peak of Tribulation Crossing Realm possessing a terrifying body and monstrous demon power.

For a time, flying sand and rolling stones filled the sky as the heavens darkened.

Sword light flashed continuously from Xuan Zhenzi’s blade, every strike aimed directly at the Bull Demon Demon King’s vital points.

Yet the Bull Demon Demon King’s skin was thick and flesh tough. Ordinary sword techniques could not injure him in the slightest.

“That’s it?”

The Bull Demon Demon King sneered as he reached out and grabbed toward the Frost Sword.

Xuan Zhenzi hurriedly withdrew his sword while a bronze ancient mirror flew from within his sleeve.

A supreme-grade magic treasure—

Demon-Reflecting Mirror!

A beam of mirror light shot forth directly at the Bull Demon Demon King’s face.

Upon being struck by the mirror light, the Bull Demon Demon King felt a stabbing pain in his eyes, his movements pausing momentarily.

Xuan Zhenzi was overjoyed.

The Frost Sword thrust forward with the momentum, aiming directly for the throat!

However, when the sword tip struck the Bull Demon Demon King’s throat, it produced the sound of metal clashing against iron.

Only a faint white mark remained.

The Bull Demon Demon King grabbed the Frost Sword’s blade and twisted violently.

Crack!

The Frost Sword shattered on the spot!

Xuan Zhenzi’s expression drastically changed as he immediately released the sword and retreated.

But how could the Bull Demon Demon King give him the chance?

His other fist had already smashed forward.

Unable to dodge in time, Xuan Zhenzi could only bring out a small azure shield.

Another supreme-grade magic treasure—

Greenwood Shield!

The shield light had only just appeared when the fist had already arrived.

Bang.

The Greenwood Shield’s light dimmed instantly as it flew backward and slammed heavily into Xuan Zhenzi’s chest.

Xuan Zhenzi spat out a mouthful of blood as his entire body was blasted hundreds of meters away before crashing heavily into the ground.

The Bull Demon Demon King strode forward and planted one foot directly upon his chest.

“From the Central Lands?”

Xuan Zhenzi coughed blood while glaring viciously at him.

“From the Xuantian Sect, right?”

The Bull Demon Demon King bent down, mockery filling his bull-like face.

“Very good. After this old bull conquers the Eastern Continent, I’ll immediately turn around and attack the Central Lands. The first target will be your Xuantian Sect!”

“When the time comes, I’ll capture all your senior and junior sisters and make them this king’s concubines!”

“Hahaha!”

Xuan Zhenzi’s eyes nearly split apart in fury.

“You dare?!”

The Bull Demon Demon King’s smile vanished as he pressed down harder with his foot.

The sound of ribs snapping rang out clearly.

Xuan Zhenzi spat out another mouthful of blood, his aura rapidly weakening.

The Bull Demon Demon King lifted his foot, preparing to crush Xuan Zhenzi’s head and bring it back to his cave dwelling as food.

Yet at that moment—

Xuan Zhenzi’s eyes suddenly changed.

The terror, fury, and unwillingness within them vanished completely.

In their place appeared an indescribable indifference.

As though he had become an entirely different person.

The Bull Demon Demon King froze, his raised foot failing to stomp down immediately.

In the next instant, Xuan Zhenzi swiftly rose and retreated far away.

The calmness of his movements.

The elegance of his posture.

He was completely different from the battered and miserable Xuan Zhenzi from moments ago.

“What a troublesome situation.”

He spoke.

His voice was exactly the same as before, yet the tone was entirely different.

The Bull Demon Demon King frowned.

“Kid, what kind of trick are you playing?”

“Kid?”

The man raised his head and looked at the Bull Demon Demon King with a half-smile.

“This seat has lived for millions upon millions of years. This is the first time someone has called me a kid.”

The Bull Demon Demon King’s pupils shrank.

Millions upon millions of years?

Xuan Zhenzi—

No, rather, the existence occupying Xuan Zhenzi’s body casually moved his limbs around.

“This body still hasn’t fully matured. Forcefully possessing it is somewhat uncomfortable.”

“But there’s no helping it. Who told this foolish brat to be so useless? This seat merely dozed off for a moment, and he nearly got beaten to death.”

He lifted his eyes toward the Bull Demon Demon King, his gaze calm.

“This body possesses the best spiritual root aptitude this old man has seen in ten thousand years. Originally, I intended to nurture it for a few more years and wait until the soul and body completely fused before acting.”

“But you ruined everything.”

The Bull Demon Demon King’s expression grew grave as demon power surged wildly.

He could sense it.

The person before him and the one from earlier were completely different existences.

“Who exactly are you?!”

The man smiled faintly.

“This old man’s Daoist title is Tianming. As for my origins, even if I told you, you still wouldn’t know.”

“You little calf actually possess fairly decent cultivation. Unfortunately, this old man doesn’t have time to play with you today.”

With that, he flicked his sleeve.

A vast pressure erupted outward.

The Bull Demon Demon King’s expression drastically changed as he instinctively took a step backward.

Yet in the next instant, the pressure disappeared completely.

Ancestor Tianming had already transformed into a streak of light and vanished beyond the distant horizon.

His speed was unbelievably fast.

The Bull Demon Demon King stood frozen in place for a long while before finally recovering his senses.

Looking toward the direction where the streak of light vanished, he cursed loudly:

“Old bastard! Why are you running?! If you’ve got guts, come down here and fight this king!”

“And you call yourself some ancient monster millions of years old? You run faster than a rabbit!”

“Aren’t you ashamed?!”

Although he cursed nonstop, he did not pursue.

Not being able to catch up was one matter.

More importantly, the pressure from earlier caused him to feel faint apprehension.

If that old thing truly fought him, victory and defeat would be hard to predict.

He simply did not understand why the man ran away.

The Bull Demon Demon King spat fiercely.

“What rotten luck!”

......

Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven, Longevity Hall.

Since Gu Yan obtained 《Foundation of the Great Dao · Red》, three years had passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, he stopped cultivating. After a slight shudder, his cultivation had already reached Heavenly Immortal Realm Eighth Layer.

As expected of a red Entry.

The boost to cultivation speed was truly powerful.

After sighing emotionally for a moment, Gu Yan rose and walked outside the hall.

Outside the Longevity Hall, spiritual mist drifted everywhere.

Gu Yan stood upon the stone steps before the hall with his hands behind his back as he looked toward the Eternal World Tree of the Myriad Heavens.

There was still only a single leaf upon it.

However, after three years, that leaf appeared far fuller than before.

Gu Yan extended his Divine Sense into it and casually glanced around.

Mm.

The entire world had completely achieved universal unity.

Branches of the Great Love Alliance had spread across every corner of the world, and stone steles stood everywhere.

The hatred and barriers that once existed between nations had already mostly disappeared under Fang Yuan’s simple and brutal governance.

After all, everyone who refused had committed suicide. Naturally, those remaining lived harmoniously together.

As for the humans who reverted back from Pure Titans, they were now living normal lives as well.

Though they occasionally still had nightmares of themselves wandering around devouring humans, once they woke and saw the Great Love Alliance stone steles beside them, they immediately felt reassured again.

Gu Yan withdrew his Divine Sense and stopped paying further attention.

With a flip of his hand, he took out the Haotian Mirror and decided to check on the situation within the Spirit Realm.

Spiritual light flickered as the image of a world gradually appeared within the mirror.

After only a single glance, Gu Yan could not help raising his eyebrows.

Good heavens.

The image displayed the Western Wasteland of the Spirit Realm.

That region which was once divided among countless demons had now completely changed banners.

A gigantic demon flag stood atop the most eye-catching mountain peak, embroidered with a pair of savage bull horns.

Looking farther north, even the Northern Plains had changed rulers.

The territories that once belonged to the Nine Nether Ice Phoenix now also flew the same bull horn banners.

Gu Yan slightly narrowed his eyes, and with a thought, the scene within the mirror changed once more.

At the border between the Northern Plains and the Western Wasteland, squads of demon soldiers were constantly mobilizing, clearly guarding against something.

And the target they guarded against came from the Southern Region.

The mirror image shifted toward the Southern Region, where another massive banner had also been erected.

Embroidered upon it was a pitch-black demonic figure surrounded by blood-colored lightning.

Myriad Tribulations Demon Lord.

This was an old acquaintance.

Gu Yan remembered that after this old fellow unified the Southern Region, although he continuously engaged in small schemes, overall he had maintained peaceful coexistence with the various factions.

But now things were different.

The Bull Demon Demon King had swallowed the Western Wasteland and annexed the Northern Plains, causing his power to expand enormously and finally alerting this old demon.

The mirror scene shifted again and froze upon a plain at the border between the Southern Region and the Northern Plains.

There, two armies stood facing one another.

On one side was the demon army under the Bull Demon Demon King, demon qi soaring into the heavens as endless black masses stretched across the land.

On the other side were demonic cultivators under the Myriad Tribulations Demon Lord, demonic flames surging skyward while baleful qi filled the air.

Between the two armies were the remains left behind after great battles.

The ground was cracked apart and mountains shattered. No one knew how many had died.

Looking at the scene within the mirror, Gu Yan could not help sighing emotionally.

“This Spirit Realm truly deserves to be called a grand stage.”

It was truly fucking chaotic.
