49: The Demon Ancestor awakens, bringing the great calamity forward.

“On-site inspections, power assessments, clandestine observations, strategic planning, trap setting, treasure temptations, mysterious disguises… The Fire Fox truly lived up to its foxy origins, cunning and suspicious, a master of schemes. The Fire Fox patiently waited for the opportune moment.

In just three short years, by the time you were twenty-one, his unspeakable secret underground cellar had already bound and sealed seven Demon Gods!

One must know, there were only seventy-two Demon Gods in the Demon Ancestor Realm in total. Excluding the Fire Fox, that left seventy-one, and now, seven Demon Gods were imprisoned right here!

Nearly one-tenth of the Demon Gods had been persecuted and fallen into the Fire Fox's hands!

The Fire Fox’s actions were simply outrageous. Your enemy had only killed one Demon God.

But this demonic disciple was preparing to take down at least seven Demon Gods!

Truly, the student has surpassed the master.”

“Although you were very pleased, if he continued like this, something bad would happen sooner or later!

You advised him a few times, but the Fire Fox was dismissive; he even felt that since he had become a Demon God, you were no longer very important to him.

He even wanted to kill you and devour your soul!

But he knew you still had some secrets he hadn't fully uncovered, and he hadn't completely ‘eaten you clean,’ which was why he let you live.

As for the past talk of reconstructing your physical body and such, it was merely a stopgap measure, long forgotten by now!”

“Trash Fire Fox! Not as good as Xiao Huohuo!”

“Just as he was feeling utterly smug!

Opening the door to the secret chamber, the Nine Heavens Demon God stood with his hands clasped behind his back, facing him!

The Fire Fox’s heart pounded, a frantic thumping in his chest! Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, he was extremely tense.

He began to cry out for his master’s help, asking his master to find a solution.

Unfortunately, you, his master, did not respond this time.

Instead, you transformed into a wisp of green smoke, concealing all your aura, temporarily dormant within the Fire Fox’s body, ready to escape at any moment!”

“This demonic disciple no longer had any use.

You withdrew immediately; although this was just a consciousness clone, you still had a purpose!

Demon God Heaven was not a place anyone could enter just because they wanted to.”

“The Nine Heavens Demon God spoke mockingly, as if looking at a clown: “No need to be nervous. When you captured the second Demon God, this Venerable One already knew your objective!

After you die, I will use your desecration of the Ancestral God’s decree as a pretext to kill you!

And in your dying throes, you will lash out, taking seven Demon Gods with you to a mutual demise!

And this Venerable One will obtain all your gains, enjoying the hearts of seven Demon Gods, advancing even further! Hahahahahahaha!”

The Fire Fox understood; everything he had done was under the Nine Heavens Demon God’s watchful eye.

And all his gains would become the Nine Heavens Demon God’s wedding dress.

He would even, in the end, stand in the sunlight, from a righteous perspective, to judge all his actions!

From the very beginning, he was a fish on the chopping board!”

“Of course, the Fire Fox would not sit idly by and wait for death. His demonic life should not end here; he had not yet become the strongest demon!

The Fire Fox was unwilling!”

“The Fire Fox died!”

“The Nine Heavens Demon God was one of the strongest Demon Gods in the Demon Ancestor Realm! He could be ranked among the top five Demon Gods!

The Fire Fox exhausted every method, but he failed to turn the tide, to defy fate, and his divine life ended very briefly!”

“On this day, eight gods fell, and heaven and earth wailed in sorrow, while you drifted with the wind in Demon God Heaven, truly like a gust of wind sweeping through a wisp of smoke, observing the laws and Divine Authority of the Demon Ancestor Realm.”

“You were sometimes wind, sometimes fire, or perhaps a drop of dew, mist, dust, clouds, green leaves, small blades of grass... You continued to comprehend for another two and a half years!”

“By the time you were twenty-three, you suddenly seemed to uncover an astonishing secret of the Demon Ancestor Realm!

While comprehending numerous Demon God laws and peering into the Demon God’s Divine Authority, gaining great insights!

You were startled to realize that from the depths of the laws, there was actually a source!”

“Initially, you thought your comprehension was exceptional, reaching the limits of the laws, and before you could even feel the invincible loneliness, you suddenly realized that the sources of these Demon God laws, many of them, led to a single origin!

And then you discovered that this origin was surprisingly lifelike, seemingly a living entity!

You calmed your mind and sensed it, immediately feeling its infinitely vast patterns, as if inscribed with the Divine Authority of the demon race.

There seemed to be a flow, and you felt it was like the bloodline of the demon race, transporting immense power, and then you sensed a scorching heart like a constant star. In a trance, you seemed to see a Nine-Headed Dragon God coiling and intertwining to form a spherical object.

And then you were suddenly startled; you saw that the spherical object was none other than the Demon Ancestor Realm!

It was that Demon God with a nine-headed dragon body, Nine Heads, Demon God, Demon Ancestor Realm, Nine Heads... Demon Ancestor!”

“Not good!

What you thought about came to pass!

You seemed to feel that the Nine-Headed Dragon-bodied Demon Ancestor was slowly opening his eyes.

You were abruptly alarmed, your main body in the Xuanwu Realm suddenly rose, standing outside the world, and your clone and main body cooperated to recall all the Xuanwu Realm martial artists' consciousnesses from the Demon Ancestor Realm.

The Demon Slaying Trial Secret Realm officially announced its shutdown for maintenance!”

“You weren’t mistaken! That Demon Ancestor had indeed awakened!”

“Through the endless void, you caught a fleeting glimpse and saw that the original Demon Ancestor Realm suddenly expanded tens of thousands of times, and then returned to its original Xuanwu!

And then you felt as if an unparalleled will's pupil glanced at you.”

“No time left!

The Demon Ancestor of the Demon Ancestor Realm had awakened!

This was something you hadn’t anticipated!

Perhaps the Xuanwu Realm’s century-long tribulation would be brought forward!”

“Such an existence, above gods, possessed unimaginable power!

Although you had already planned, opened, and comprehended the Three Stages of Qiankun.

However, not having officially broken through to the Qiankun Stage, a higher level, it was currently just an extrapolation, but the immense power was extraordinary!”

“You could no longer postpone the time of your breakthrough; now, you could only race against time, quickly breaking through to the limit you could reach, and contend with this Demon Ancestor!”

“Of course, you wouldn't feel fear; this kind of great martial dao power under strong pressure would only make you stronger!

You were still fearless!

If it truly dragged on until the century-long tribulation, perhaps then you would feel regret!

For you, if you really waited a hundred years to comprehend, a mere Demon Ancestor, you dared to say, could be suppressed with a single hand!”

“You began to mobilize the endless power of the Xuanwu Heaven and Earth!

You originally wielded the power of heaven and earth, almost on par with a Heaven and Earth Stage Martial God!

And now, you officially broke through to the First Stage of Qiankun, a Heaven and Earth Stage Martial God!

The path of martial arts continued, the Xuanwu Realm once again expanded greatly, and the world's level ushered in new strengthening.”

“But your cultivation breakthrough was not over!

Years of cultivation, comprehension in Demon God Heaven, and the insights of numerous clones were not hollow!

Endless heaven and earth held in the palm, creation of nothingness forming its own heaven!

I am carefree, I am content, all things stand firm, unmoving in the wind!

The Second Stage of Qiankun! A Creation Stage Martial God!

Creating heaven and earth, forming your own martial dao heavenly heart within the martial dao world!

Independent of the Xuanwu Realm, transcending the Xuanwu Realm, wielding power within the Xuanwu Realm!”
