Inside the immortal boat.
A young man draped in crimson-gold downy feathers sat upright on a chair, accompanied by several immortals.
However, the expressions on these people's faces were not pleasant, especially the young man in the middle, whose face carried a hint of anger.
As the master of the Demon God Mountain, commanding countless demon races across a million demon domains, and the supreme Demon Emperor who grasped the origin of the demonic Dao, for someone to dare slaughter demons across thousands of domains right under his nose was no longer just a simple slap in his face; it was throwing his dignity on the ground and trampling on it.
Logically speaking, supreme Immortal Emperors in the Nine Heavens should be aloof and look down upon the mortal realm. After all, when the evil spirit plane invaded the Nine Heavens, those supreme Immortal Emperors all chose to sit back and do nothing.
But with thousands of his demon domains and billions upon billions of demon creatures slaughtered, he had to come and demand an explanation!
Are you certain? That woman entered Jiang Che's place here? the Demon God asked the attendant beside him once again.
Lord Demon God, it is absolutely true! With a single hand acting as a grinding stone, she crushed heaven and earth, cutting off eternity... One of our Demon Venerables and two Demon Lords were no match for her. After slaughtering all those creatures, she swaggered right into this immortal boat. I suspect... she might be an unknown Immortal Emperor, perhaps Jiang Che's Dao Protector!
After receiving confirmation from his subordinate, the young Demon God nodded slightly.
Although he had long stopped concerning himself with mortal affairs, he knew of Jiang Che, the young genius whose name shook the Nine Heavens and myriad realms, rumored to be Chen Taiqing's disciple.
After the incident occurred, he initially planned to go directly to the Taiqing Sword Immortal, but upon visiting the Taiqing Palace, he could not find a trace of Chen Taiqing anywhere.
He had no choice but to come directly to Jiang Che.
However, the Demon God still felt a bit apprehensive in his heart. He had visited the annihilated demon domains and surprisingly had not sensed a single trace of Dao law aura. Unless the other party was also a Dao Harmonization expert, perhaps it was that Taiqing Sword Immortal wiping his disciple's slate clean.
It matters not. With me holding the fort, even if the other party is the ruler of heaven himself... this Emperor will make them realize the immensity of heaven and earth!
The young man snorted coldly. Being bullied right to the doorstep of his Demon God Mountain, would he not be a total coward if he just swallowed it?
And right at this moment, a voice drifted in. Your Excellency keeps claiming to come to hold someone accountable? I wonder how I, Jiang Che, have offended your Demon God Mountain!
Jiang Che strolled in leisurely and glanced at the young man before him. This guy had a head of golden hair, giving off a somewhat eccentric punk vibe, but his aura was terrifyingly formidable.
The master of the Demon God Mountain, the sovereign of the demonic Dao, rumored to be of an ancient phoenix bloodline.
The previous supreme Immortal Emperor of the demon race was the Ancestral Dragon Immortal Emperor, but the Ancestral Dragon Immortal Emperor was slain by a single sword strike from the Heavenly Emperor a million years ago. Since then... the position of the demon sovereign had fallen onto his head.
Heh... Young Master Jiang? The Demon God cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Che, but immediately, his arrogant gaze turned into one of sheer terror!
His legs gave way... and he almost dropped to his knees on the floor!
Demon Lord! Lord Demon Lord, what is wrong? The underlings beside him hurriedly supported him.
The Demon God suppressed the extreme terror in his heart and steadied his posture. Demon... Demon Ancestor?
No! You are not the Demon Ancestor...
The Demon God seemed to realize something, and his taut heartstrings suddenly relaxed. He had almost been scared to death!
When he saw that face... he actually thought the Demon Ancestor had resurrected. Now it seemed... it was just a similar flower blooming after a million years. After all, when the Demon Ancestor fell back then... he had seen it with his own eyes.
Oh? How do you know I am not?
Jiang Che looked sideways, a smile curving his thin lips, and revealed the Immortal Emperor-level immortal Dao origin within his body.
!!!
The Demon God, who had just stood up, dropped to his knees once again. Lord... Lord Demon Ancestor? You are not dead!
He was so terrified his liver and gallbladder felt like they were splitting. He had no mind to investigate carefully. A face could be faked, but could the immortal Dao origin be faked?!!
Lord Demon Ancestor! Lord Demon Ancestor... this lowly one did not intentionally betray you. It... it was the Heavenly Emperor who threatened my life, I... I had no choice but to obey!
Jiang Che: ???
Good heavens, it seemed this guy was a double-crosser.
The Demon God's entire body trembled like a sieve. He never dreamed... that the rumored Jiang Che was actually the Demon Ancestor?!!!
If he had known, he would have taken a look at a picture of Jiang Che before coming, so he would not have recklessly thrown himself into the net like this.
Demon Ancestor! Today, the Ancient Heavenly Court has been annihilated in the long river of history, this subordinate has actually been enduring silently to seek revenge... The Demon God just stayed kneeling!
Although he was named the Demon God, holding the demonic Dao origin and known as the ancestor of all demons, back in the Ancient Heavenly Court era... he was just a slightly stronger thug under the Demon Ancestor. But later, a rift seemed to appear between the Demon Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor, and the Ancestral Dragon Immortal Emperor was forcibly suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor for rebelling. Lacking a demon lord, he simply defected from the Demon Ancestor and joined the Heavenly Emperor's camp.
But now... damn it, who could have thought the Demon Ancestor was not dead???
Jiang Che sneered. It seemed the Demon Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor were indeed terrifying back then. This young Demon God was also a Dao Harmonization-level supreme Immortal Emperor, yet he was scared into this state just by the Demon Ancestor's title.
Jiang Che slowly walked up to the Demon God. The Demon God instantly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and rose from his chair. Demon Ancestor... Demon Ancestor, please sit. This little one can just squat.
The Demon God invited Jiang Che to the seat and squatted on the ground himself, looking extremely comical. The two demon immortal subordinates who came to demand accountability with him were also dumbfounded. Even the Demon Lord was squatting... they might as well lay flat on the ground.
Jiang Che: ......
He sat down very naturally, crossed his legs, rested his chin on one hand, and with a gaze showing neither joy nor sorrow, said, Speak!
The Demon God knelt even more obediently. Alike! Too alike!
Although a million years had passed, the Demon Ancestor was still like a nightmare in his heart. Every movement was exactly the same as the sovereign of the demonic Dao in his memory.
I... I... I was really wrong! Lord Demon Ancestor... please spare me!
The Demon God was on the verge of tears. After all, his status as a fence-sitter was confirmed. Back then, when he learned of the Demon Ancestor's fall, he even laughed out loud at the sky a few times, stopping just short of dancing on his grave.
Now that the Demon Ancestor had returned, he would absolutely skin him alive, pluck all his phoenix immortal feathers, and make a shuttlecock out of them to kick.
Lord Demon Ancestor, now that the Heavenly Court has collapsed and the Heavenly Emperor is dead, the future belongs to our demon race...
However, just as the Demon God was groveling to Jiang Che, another voice shook his mind once again.
Is that so? The Heavenly Court is annihilated... does that make you very happy?
The Demon God looked up abruptly, his gaze shooting toward a certain direction, and then his pupils shrank violently.
Imperial... Imperial... Imperial Princess?
He simply could not believe his eyes. He had not meddled in mortal affairs for a mere few hundred thousand years, what in the world had happened in the mortal realm of the Nine Heavens???
How come all these old acquaintances were showing up one by one!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
