"There are Outer Chaos demons, who have invaded from the Outer Chaos and entered our Inner Chaos, and then into the Primordial World, establishing an extremely powerful force!"
"The Five Saints of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao has been destroyed by this colossal force, the Outer Chaos demons. Fellow Daoist Hongjun has a very deep connection with the Heavenly Dao. After the Heavenly Dao was annihilated, he almost perished. It was I who saved him!"
Xuantian Demon God sighed again:
"However, Fellow Daoist Hongjun's Dao Fruit was severely damaged at its foundation. The injuries he sustained are incurable. Although he survived, he will forever be confined to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for the rest of his life..."
"Now, he is a cripple! Not to mention compared to us Chaos Demon Gods, even among the Innate Sacred Beings, he is considered to be at the lowest tier."
"He no longer belongs to our ranks."
Yang Mei Great Immortal's expression grew more and more astonished as he listened.
As the Space Demon God, he had his own methods for discerning truth from falsehood. He could be certain that what Xuantian Demon God was telling him at this moment was the truth! Not a shred of falsehood!
"I once entered the Primordial World with my soul, and possessed the body of a native being."
"During the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, I fought against Luohu alongside Hongjun, but I was also schemed against by him. Even though my strength surpassed his, I was forced to withdraw from the struggle for dominance in the Primordial World..."
Yang Mei Great Immortal recalled the past, during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity.
Clearly, his strength was superior to Hongjun's, yet he was forced by Hongjun's schemes to leave the Primordial World, allowing Hongjun to become the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World.
Yang Mei Great Immortal had always harbored resentment about this matter and never thought highly of Hongjun.
Their relationship had never been good...
However, upon hearing that Hongjun had been crippled and his Dao path ruined, and would at most remain at the Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation level for the rest of his life...
Yang Mei Great Immortal felt a sense of shared misfortune, like a rabbit mourning its own fate.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun was no ordinary being. He was the one who emerged victorious among the six Chaos Demon Gods: Yin-Yang Demon God, Qiankun Demon God, Luohu Demon Ancestor, Shenni, and himself, Yang Mei Great Immortal. He ultimately ascended to the position of Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World, dominating the Primordial World and replacing the Heavenly Dao with his own Dao.
Even though Yang Mei Great Immortal's strength surpassed Hongjun's, he had never underestimated Hongjun's various schemes, methods, and contingency plans.
It was just that Yang Mei Great Immortal truly never imagined that Hongjun, a peerless hero of his generation, would ultimately meet such an end...
There is a saying: "Below the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, all are ants." And before the Hunyuan Wuji, even a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal is merely an ant...
This fully illustrates the gap between Hunyuan Wuji, Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, and those below Hunyuan.
Even if Hongjun's strength fell to the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Yang Mei Great Immortal would no longer consider him a cultivator on the same level, viewing him as an ant.
What's more, he had now fallen to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?
This meant that Hongjun and Yang Mei Great Immortal were now in completely different echelons.
It meant that Hongjun had transformed from a top-tier Chaos Demon God into a low-level Innate Being, inferior even to mid-to-high-level Innate Beings.
Hongjun was no longer a threat and did not need to be concerned about him.
But Yang Mei Great Immortal felt a new, intense threat...
That person was the one who had injured Hongjun to such an extent!
The fact that this person could injure Hongjun so severely also indicated that they could similarly injure him, Yang Mei Great Immortal, and other Chaos Demon Gods...
Indeed, as Xuantian Demon God had said, they posed a significant threat!
All Chaos Demon Gods must unite and face the enemy together!
"From the Outer Chaos..."
Outer Chaos refers to the chaos beyond the one that nurtured the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods... the true Sea of Nothingness...
Inner Chaos refers to the chaos that nurtured the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods. The Inner Chaos contains the Great Thousand Worlds opened up by over two hundred demon gods, as well as the Primordial World.
The Inner Chaos also includes the depths of Chaos (Primordial Chaos) and the chaos near the Primordial World.
Fang Ming's unification of the Primordial World not only placed the Primordial World under his control, but also brought the chaos near the Primordial World, the Great Thousand Worlds opened by the Six Saints, and even Zixiao Palace, under the rule of the Human Heavenly Court.
Now, the Human Heavenly Court had become a colossal force occupying the Primordial World and even the chaos surrounding it!
Within the Inner Chaos, only the four Chaos Demon Gods in the depths of Chaos: Xuantian Demon God, Five Elements Demon God, Yang Mei Great Immortal, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, remained independent of the Human Heavenly Court and were not under its control.
Only the over two hundred worlds in the depths of Chaos, and the various cultivators and forces within them, were not under the control of the Human Heavenly Court.
The depths of Chaos were not within the Human Heavenly Court's sphere of influence...
And at this very moment, having felt the intense threat posed by Fang Ming, Yang Mei Great Immortal agreed to the alliance plan proposed by Xuantian Demon God!
"The Outer Chaos demons came from the Outer Chaos and invaded the Inner Chaos."
"He has already unified the Primordial World, and his next step will undoubtedly be to unify the Inner Chaos!"
Yang Mei Great Immortal made his decision.
"We absolutely cannot tolerate his reckless behavior!"
"Let us immediately seek out the Five Elements Demon God and have her lead the over two hundred worlds in a final desperate gamble with plans like 'Myriad Worlds Returning to Origin' and 'Demon God Invasion'!"
...
The Five Elements Demon God, Jin Bifeng, was traveling and enjoying his honeymoon in the Five Elements Great World.
Suddenly, Yang Mei Great Immortal, Xuantian Demon God, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who possessed only Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, appeared before them simultaneously.
Jin Bifeng: "...Senior Hongjun, do you also enjoy disguising your cultivation to travel the mortal realm? Are you pretending to be a Great Luo Golden Immortal now?"
The Five Elements Demon God looked left and right, scanned Hongjun, and then his expression turned grim. He had already seen through that Hongjun truly only possessed Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation and that his future was ruined.
He couldn't help but ask Xuantian Demon God: "What's going on? How did Hongjun get injured like this? His Dao foundation is severed?"
"Could it be..."
The Five Elements Demon God shifted his gaze to Yang Mei Great Immortal.
Yang Mei Great Immortal said irritably.
"Don't look at me, I don't have the ability to injure Hongjun like this."
Hongjun's face was awkward, and he stepped forward to explain.
"Fellow Daoist Wuxing, the situation is like this..."
Hongjun recounted everything that had happened in the Primordial World to the Five Elements Demon God and Jin Bifeng.
"Outer Chaos demons? From the Outer Chaos?"
The Five Elements Demon God and Jin Bifeng were stunned after learning everything.
Jin Bifeng even blurted out: "Hongjun, how did you manage to be the Dao Ancestor? You previously said that everything in the Primordial World, all destinies and fates, the destinies of all beings, were within your control."
"You only found out everything that happened after the Heavenly Dao was blown up by Outer Chaos demons, and you yourself were on the verge of perishing?"
"You're too unreliable!"
Hongjun did not bother to quibble with Jin Bifeng calling him by name.
In fact, he knew that he could not afford to be offended. Judging by his current cultivation, Jin Bifeng, who was at the Half-step Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, could obliterate him, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, with just a single finger.
Hongjun was very clear about his position, so not only did he not take offense, but he even addressed Jin Bifeng as "Fellow Daoist."
