--------------------------------------------------------
In the far north of the Immortal Realm, at the ends of heaven and earth, there was an area shrouded in eternal Devilish Qi, a forbidden zone known as the "Abyss of Deathly Demons."
Here, dense Devilish Qi permeated all around, and deep within the forbidden zone, a figure slowly rose from a coffin.
He was clad in black armor, covered in ancient battle scars, his face obscured by swirling Devilish Qi.
This person was one of the Demon Race's Emperor Lords, and moreover, an Emperor Lord of the Hunyuan Taiji Realm, named Nine Lives Emperor Lord.
His demonic might was not ostentatious, yet it caused all the Devilish Qi in the entire forbidden zone to swirl around him.
Countless powerful beings lurking everywhere now trembled, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Nine Lives Emperor Lord slowly raised his palm, facing upwards, and a faint yet supremely majestic will of the Demon Ancestor manifested in his palm.
A majestic voice directly echoed deep within his Divine Soul, transcending the barriers of endless time and space.
"A variable has emerged... The River of Destiny has rippled unusually... Find him, and before he truly grows, eliminate him!"
The Demon Ancestor's will carried an unquestionable command and icy killing intent.
Nine Lives Emperor Lord's dark purple eyes twitched violently, and he bowed to receive the order:
"I obey the Demon Ancestor's decree!"
He stood up, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of the demonic abyss and endless Void Realm, looking towards the Immortal Domain.
"To provoke the Demon Ancestor's personal warning... The Immortal Realm has indeed produced a figure."
Nine Lives Emperor Lord's voice was hoarse, and he was also very puzzled.
Who could it be?
Who could draw the Demon Ancestor's apprehension?
Of course, the Demon Ancestor didn't tell him the specifics, not because he wanted to be enigmatic, but because even the Demon Ancestor had only foreseen some unfavorable future and couldn't see the exact situation clearly.
Nine Lives Emperor Lord pondered, took a step, and his figure vanished from the depths of the demonic abyss.
The next moment, he appeared in the Myriad Demon Hall, where several Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the Demon Race, sensing his Qi, rushed to pay their respects.
"Lord Nine Fate, you have awakened!"
"Who is in charge of the Demon Race now?"
Nine Lives Emperor Lord said indifferently.
"Reporting to Lord, the Demon Race is currently governed by seven Emperor Lords, namely the Heaven Devouring Emperor Lord, the Death Emperor Lord..."
"Hmm."
Nine Lives Emperor Lord mused for a moment, then asked:
"Who is most familiar with the beings of the Immortal Realm?"
"That would naturally be Demon Master."
"Have him see me."
"Yes."
The subordinate Demon Race members dared not delay and immediately went to relay the message.
Before long, a tall figure silently appeared outside the Myriad Demon Hall and slowly walked in.
The newcomer was none other than the Demon Master, who held a special status within the Demon Race.
"Greetings, Nine Lives Emperor Lord."
The Demon Master's voice was low; he bowed slightly, his posture respectful, but an elusive light flickered in his downcast eyes.
He knew that this Nine Lives Emperor Lord was not simple, not only because he was a being of the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm, but also because he was a confidant of the Demon Ancestor, holding an extremely exalted position, and only the Demon Ancestor could command him.
And his appearance might signal a change in affairs.
He just didn't know if it was for good or ill.
Nine Lives Emperor Lord's dark purple eyes scrutinized the Demon Master, getting straight to the point:
"The Demon Ancestor's decree has been issued; a variable has appeared in the Immortal Realm, and it must be eliminated before it grows.
You have long monitored the Immortal Realm's movements; what are your insights on this?"
As he spoke, their figures had already arrived in a peculiar space where no one could observe them.
The Demon Master showed no panic; he looked up, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Emperor Lord, in recent years, many individuals with great Luck have emerged in the Immortal Realm, possessing extraordinary talent. If we speak of anomalies, there are indeed a few worth noting."
He extended his somewhat pale finger, listing them off like treasured possessions:
"Firstly, a peerless Prodigy has recently emerged in the Immortal Domain. This person has risen exceptionally quickly over the past millennium, achieving Grand Unity Golden Immortal in a short time. Given enough time, he might even reach the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Level and potentially impact our grand plan. His name is Yun Wuji, his whereabouts are secretive, and he is suspected of possessing a supreme treasure that conceals his heavenly secrets."
"Secondly, the Human Race is currently selecting a Human Emperor, and among the many human emperor candidates, a unique individual has emerged, who has condensed nine marks of Humanitys Fortune, hailed as the strongest Human Emperor Candidate in history. The Human Race has many powerful beings safeguarding him, and his position as Human Emperor is basically confirmed, making it very difficult for us to gather complete intelligence."
"Thirdly, previously in the Underworld Sea, an ancient being seemed to have broken free from its seal. Again, the heavenly secrets are obscured, and it's unknown which divine being is responsible. I speculate that an ancient being intends to participate in this great tribulation, and this being might interfere with our Demon Race's grand plan."
The Demon Master paused slightly, a glimmer flashing in his eyes:
"Finally... there's one more thing that concerns me: there seems to be an unknown powerful being guarding the Lingxu Heavenly Palace, very mysterious."
The Demon Master originally wanted to directly state Han Xuanji's name, but felt it was inappropriate.
After all, Han Xuanji seemed to be just a young Prodigy, a Golden Immortal, and mentioning him would only make the Demon Master appear incompetent.
"Oh?"
With one piece of news after another, Nine Lives Emperor Lord's brows furrowed; he clearly hadn't expected so many things to have happened.
"Lingxu Heavenly Palace? Could it be a force left behind by Daoist Lingxu?"
Nine Lives Emperor Lord felt somewhat unfamiliar with this name.
The Demon Master shook his head and explained:
"Daoist Lingxu's successor left the Immortal Realm many years ago and did not leave a Dao Legacy. The Lingxu Heavenly Palace is merely a force founded by a Ninth Revolution Grand Unity Golden Immortal; its foundation is still shallow. It's just that I have repeatedly encountered setbacks there, which made me somewhat concerned."
Nine Lives Emperor Lord was silent for a moment. The information given by the Demon Ancestor was too little, making it difficult for him to act immediately.
"Yun Wuji, Human Emperor Candidate, anomalies in the Underworld Sea... and this Lingxu Heavenly Palace."
Nine Lives Emperor Lord snorted coldly,
"It seems the Immortal Realm has been quite lively these past years. The 'variable' might be hidden among these people, or it might be in a place even you haven't observed."
"But no matter what, it's better to kill by mistake than to let one slip away."
"I will awaken the Nine Demon Guards. Before the Demon Ancestor returns, I expect to see results."
"Of course, if you achieve great merit, I will personally request a reward for you from the Demon Ancestor."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Master lowered his head and quickly affirmed.
However, a hint of helplessness flashed deep in his eyes... The emergence of Nine Lives Emperor Lord naturally attracted a lot of attention.
All races in the Immortal Domain, numerous powerful beings, noticed this scene.
This was very likely a signal that the Demon Race might be about to make a major move.
The Lingxu Heavenly Palace was even more on high alert, as the Lingxu Immortal Domain was very close to the Demon Race territory. If a full-scale war broke out, they would be the first to bear the brunt.
In fact, the Lingxu Immortal Domain was frequently reshuffled for this reason, making it difficult for ancient Dao Legacies with long histories to emerge.
Inside the Myriad Phenomena Garden.
Han Xuanji also noticed this, and he saw it more clearly than many others.
A powerful being of the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm from the Demon Race had awakened!
"This wasn't mentioned in the simulation... Is it because they didn't know, or is it a butterfly effect?"
Han Xuanji secretly pondered, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
After all, future changes are difficult to predict. Perhaps because of him, the Demon Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor appeared early, and the war between Immortals and Demons began ahead of schedule.
This was not impossible!
