Chapter 233: Chapter 222 [Fate Contract, Demon Realm Split] (Request for Subscription)

Boom!

The gears of destiny exploded, causing ripples in fate, as infinite timelines shattered. The mark Luo Hou left in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds was instantly replaced by the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

The Primordial Heavenly Demon bellowed, "I am the Demon Ancestor, destined to suppress all enemies in the world!"

In an instant, the Primordial Killing Intent erupted, as if creating heaven and Earth, the will of the Demon Realm vanished, replaced by the will of the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

Luo Hou’s true body was held back by Taiching and Tongtian Sect Master, leaving only his mark’s will in the Demon Realm. Furthermore, with the Demon World Origin losing a tenth under the schemes of the saints, it was at its weakest, allowing the Primordial Heavenly Demon to easily usurp it without much effort.

Boom!

Endless demonic fortunes converged towards the Primordial Heavenly Demon, elevating his aura, nearly making him a Saint of the Demon Path!

"Impossible!"

Luo Hou, unable to contain his anger upon seeing the Primordial Heavenly Demon taking over most of his demonic authority, wielded the God Slaying Spear and struck fiercely at the land of the Demon Realm.

"In this world, there can only be one Demon Ancestor!" Luo Hou proclaimed, as infinite destructive power surged around him, "Even if I have to demolish the entire Demon Realm, I absolutely won’t let you control the fortune of the Demon Path!"

"Break!"

It must be said, Luo Hou truly was ruthless, intending to disrupt Yuanshi Tianzun’s plans by destroying the Demon Realm after realizing there was no turning back.

"This is bad!"

Taiching wanted to stop him, but Luo Hou acted too swiftly. In an instant, a space fissure spanning billions of miles appeared in the Demon Realm.

From this fissure, earth, water, fire, and wind surged out, seemingly ready to swallow the entire Demon Realm, while the origin of the Demon Realm started to rapidly drain.

Yet, Yuanshi Tianzun had anticipated this. On one hand, he manipulated the Pangu Banner, evolving into the Hongmeng Barrier to stabilize the Demon Realm, and on the other, he shouted, "Zhen Yuanzi, loan me your strength!"

Upon hearing this, the Earth Demon, who was disputing over the Demon World Origin with many Great Divine Power possessors, stopped. With a flash of immortal light, he transformed into the ancestral Earth Immortal, Zhen Yuanzi.

"Earth Fetus Membrane, suppress!"

With a loud shout, the Earth Book instantly connected to nearly half of the leylines of the Demon Realm, then using Xuanhuang Qi, evolved a new barrier for the Demon Realm.

The Demon Realm split in two.

One half, under the devouring force of earth, water, fire, and wind, was on the verge of destruction, while the other side, under the influence of the Earth Book, began to constantly heal.

Yuanshi Tianzun knew that if Luo Hou fought desperately, he couldn’t preserve the entire Demon Realm.

Thus, from the beginning, he enlisted Zhen Yuanzi’s help, hoping that at a critical juncture, the Earth Book could help him save most of the Demon Realm.

"Huangzhong Li, emerge!"

Seeing that half of the Demon Realm temporarily halted its collapse, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately mobilized the power of the Saint, rooting a Top Grade Innate Spirit Root in the Demon Realm.

"Heavenly Demon Realm, establish!"

On the other side, the Primordial Heavenly Demon formed a new will of the Demon Realm, steering his half of the realm swiftly towards the path of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Thus, he could occupy most of the demonic fortune, using it to control the "Dao Decreases as Demons Expand" trend, aiming to replace the Heavenly Dao with his own in the future.

Huiyue Demon Lord, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but be greatly surprised, "Unexpectedly, the Earth Demon, a Great Divine Power possessor in the Demon Realm, is actually Zhen Yuanzi’s disguise?"

When the Earth Demon traversed the Primordial World, Zhen Yuanzi might have just transformed, implying that Zhen Yuanzi must have occupied the identity of the Earth Demon through some method.

At this moment, he was pursuing the Bright Demon, remembering that the Blood River Hermit once mentioned that the Bright Demon had a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure capable of traversing between two realms.

He was very interested.

While pursuing, Huiyue Demon Lord called out, "Bright Demon, don’t run! I mean no harm. I’m friends with Blood River Hermit, and I just want to invite you to join the Jie Sect, to become the Vice Sect Hierarch!"

He originally planned to seize it by force, but the Bright Demon was too fast, nearly matching the demonic master Kunpeng. Despite all his efforts, he couldn’t close the distance, which prompted him to consider recruitment.

"You’re kidding!"

The Bright Demon simply didn’t believe it.

Huiyue Demon Lord, resigned, then said, "I can swear by the Heavenly Dao! As long as you join the Jie Sect, you will be the Vice Sect Hierarch!"

"Think about it, the Demon Realm now faces a great calamity. Buddhist Saints Jieyin and Zhunti have personally entered the Demon Realm to convert the demons. Without the protection of saints, where else can you flee to?"

Upon hearing this, the Bright Demon finally stopped, yet still maintained a distance from Huiyue Demon Lord.

"I don’t believe you are so kind-hearted," the Bright Demon scoffed, "They say the Demon Path is treacherous, and you cultivators from the Primordial World are no better!"

Though demons are deceitful, since the cultivators entered the Demon Realm, their little tricks appeared as laughable as those of a three-year-old child.

The recent turmoil in the Demon Realm was all stirred up by the cultivators from the Primordial World.

Huiyue Demon Lord, source of the unrest, repeatedly stirred up trouble.

With a helpless expression, Huiyue Demon Lord then showed a sincere smile, "Actually, I just want to borrow the Universe Escape World Boat for a while! If you join the Jie Sect, I can promise to protect you on behalf of the saints, as long as you lend me the Spiritual Treasure when I need it in the future!"

Saying this, he began to swear by the Heavenly Dao.

"Alright!"

Seeing that Huiyue Demon Lord made a Heavenly Dao oath, after pondering for a moment, the Bright Demon also agreed to join the Jie Sect.

"Then let’s seal it with a handshake!"

Huiyue Demon Lord slowly approached the Bright Demon, their hands instantly touching, but the Bright Demon’s expression suddenly changed, "What did you just do to me?"

Just then, he felt a power invading his True Spirit, but upon close examination, he found no changes to his True Spirit.

Huiyue Demon Lord responded with a smile, "Just a simple Fate Contract! You don’t trust me, and I also can’t trust you! I’ve made a Heavenly Dao oath, naturally, I need to guard against you stabbing me in the back!"

"Don’t worry!"

"As long as you don’t betray the Jie Sect, this Fate Contract will have no effect on you!"

This was a technique derived from the Fate Demon God Dao Fruit; once they agreed on the contract, the cost of the Bright Demon’s betrayal would be utter destruction.

The power of fate is everywhere; once an oath is betrayed, it will be fulfilled, and the power of fate will arrange everything in the dark.

"You!"

The face of the Bright Demon is extremely ugly.

Fate and causation might not be the strongest, but they are undoubtedly the most mysterious tools; even he does not dare to ignore this divine skill of fate.

Boom!

Just as the two reached an agreement, Jieyin and Zhunti took the opportunity to convert many demons, including powerful divine beings like the Flame Demon.

However, seeing that his momentum had faded, Luo Hou no longer entangled with Taiching and Tongtian Sect Master, but instead used his divine power on the remaining half of the Demon Realm.

"Primordial Demon Qi!"

A breath that encompassed the origins of myriad demons evolved from Luo Hou’s body, interweaving billions of demonic qi to transform the remaining Demon Realm into the "Primordial Demon Realm."

The fortune of the Demon Path was divided, as was the Demon Realm. For Luo Hou, this was a massive blow, especially since the Primordial Heavenly Demon had taken the lead.

Nevertheless, regaining his freedom and escaping from Hong Jun’s suppression provided some consolation.

He glared fiercely at the Saints, especially Yuanshi Tianzun: "I’ve noted this debt! I will settle this slowly with you all another day!"

Tongtian Sect Master slightly furrowed his brows and transmitted to Taiching: "Big brother, are we just going to let this go? The three of us together could still take down Luo Hou!"

Taiching shook his head: "Keeping Luo Hou alive is more beneficial than harmful for us. With Luo Hou around, he can help us counter the Daoist Ancestor in Purple Cloud Palace!"

He had initially wanted to try killing Luo Hou, but after much consideration, he felt that keeping Luo Hou was more advantageous for their plans.

That is also why he never used "One Qi into Three Pure Ones."

It is not yet the time!

Meanwhile, the Blood River Daoist acquired most of the original essence of Demon Lord Luo, but the latter, using the "Mother-child Creation Divine Light," fled in the form of a developing fetus. Being born from the origin of the Demon Realm, naturally, he could easily gain a massive amount of fate from the Demon Realm.

The Earth Demon had already been replaced by Zhen Yuanzi, the Heavenly Demon served under the Primordial Heavenly Demon, the Bright Demon joined the Jie Sect, the Flame Demon was converted by the two Western Saints, and the Jie Demon was refined by the Huiyue Demon Lord into a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The ten great demon generals under Luo Hou’s command had directly halved, leaving only the Dark Demon, Grudge Demon, Wind Demon, Ice Demon, and War Demon, who were swept into the "Primordial Demon Realm" by a beam of demon light.

The Blood Demon path was pioneered by the Blood River Daoist, the head of the Heart Demon Lineage is now the Huiyue Demon Lord, and seven of the twelve demon veins were within the "Heavenly Demon Realm."

Thus, the fortune of the Demon Path gathered in the "Heavenly Demon Realm" had already surpassed that in the "Primordial Demon Realm."

The Primordial Heavenly Demon, thus, became the new Demon Ancestor, not only replacing Luo Hou as the old Demon Ancestor but also controlling the major trends of the future Demon Path.

With the Demon Realm split, Luo Hou had become a remnant of the past era, while the Primordial Heavenly Demon became the new fated demon, bearing the majority of the demonic fortune.

As for Jieyin and Zhunti, after converting some demons, they retreated at the right moment, taking the converted demons away from the "Heavenly Demon Realm."

Now, the "Heavenly Demon Realm" had become the private property of the Primordial Heavenly Demon, and the demons within it were essentially his property.

After all...

The Primordial Heavenly Demon needed to control the Demon Path, and it was essential for him to have enough demons under his command!

Due to some unspoken agreements, neither wanted to offend Yuanshi Tianzun, so they did not attempt to convert all demon creatures.

Soon, the demons in the "Heavenly Demon Realm" gathered in the "Heavenly Demon Palace," waiting to pay homage to the Primordial Heavenly Demon, the new patriarch of the demon race.

The Primordial Heavenly Demon looked at the demons and coldly said, "I don’t care about your past identities or connection with Luo Hou, now that you are in the Heavenly Demon Realm, from henceforth, you must only follow my command!"

"Yes!"

All the demons nodded in agreement.

They had no choice!

The situation was beyond them.

In the "Heavenly Demon Realm," the Primordial Heavenly Demon’s strength was comparable to half a Saint; moreover, his true self could arrive in the Demon Realm at any moment.

They naturally understood what was important.

As for Luo Hou, even if he escaped the constraints of the heavenly way, what could he do to these demons?

Now was no longer Luo Hou’s era; behind the Primordial Heavenly Demon stood three Saints, and he had directly usurped Luo Hou’s title as Demon Ancestor!

Anyone who wasn’t a fool, anyone not blinded by Tribulation Qi, knew what choice to make!

The Primordial Heavenly Demon continued, "Dark Demon, War Demon, Wind Demon, Ice Demon, Grudge Demon, as you follow Luo Hou and leave the Demon Realm, with the Flame Demon converted by the two Saints and the Jie Demon turned into an Innate Spiritual Treasure, our twelve demon veins are incomplete. I intend to select seven great divine beings to complete the twelve demon veins. Are any of you interested?"

Hearing this, many great divine beings in the demon path brightened up, knowing that being a leader of a lineage would naturally gain more support from the Demon Realm’s fortune.

At this moment, a great divine being in the Demon Path spoke directly: "The Dragon Demon is willing to lead the forefront for the Holy Demon!"

He was a member of the Dragon Clan who had fallen into the Demon Path during the great calamity, and to secure this privilege, he directly referred to the Primordial Heavenly Demon as the "Holy Demon."

"Accepted!"

The Primordial Heavenly Demon immediately nodded his head.

The Dragon Demon was strong, and not a few cultivators from the Dragon Clan who followed him into the Demon Path were numerous.

Soon, several more great divine beings spoke up.

After carefully evaluating, the Primordial Heavenly Demon chose the Sword Demon, Star Demon, Dream Demon, Water Demon, Shadow Demon, Dragon Demon, and Feather Demon to complete the twelve demon veins.

The Sword Demon, a disciple of the Demon Lord Tongtian, was included in the twelve demon veins as a courtesy to his master; the rest were carefully chosen by him.

Boom!

With the new twelve demon veins confirmed, the "Heavenly Demon Realm" shook, the void roared, an invisible fortune instantly fell onto these twelve individuals.

Meanwhile, the Huiyue Demon Lord couldn’t help but look towards the Sword Demon known as "Shangchen."

Beside him were the Blood River Daoist, Bright Demon, and Duobao, transformed under the name "Purple Light," all key figures of the Jie Sect.
