175: The Origin of the Supreme Demon

Cloud Marsh State, outskirts.

Long Bailie, leading the Dragon Guard Army, had just stepped into Cloud Marsh State when he suddenly received a message:

Mission changed!

Abandon the Secret Realm thief, assist everyone in the state to evacuate!

"Guard General, the scouts report a large group of people are rushing this way!"

Long Bailie's expression was calm; he waved his hand and said, "Activate the teleportation array, help these people leave!"

A subordinate behind him suddenly shouted, "Guard General, this is bad! The teleportation array is malfunctioning!"

Long Bailie said in a deep voice, "What's the reason?"

The subordinate replied, "It was rejected by Heaven and Earth!"

Long Bailie frowned. "?"

What the Hell?

With Heavenly Dao asleep, wasn't His Majesty the only one in Nine Provinces who could control Heaven and Earth?

This is... someone has stolen His Majesty's authority?

Rumble!

Before Long Bailie could recover from his shock, a huge black figure suddenly appeared behind the Dragon Guard Army.

"Guard General, this is bad, look!"

Hearing this, Long Bailie quickly looked.

A hundred-zhang tall wolf-like creature appeared in his vision.

"Hell... Hell Demon!"

"Greed Demon Wolf King!!!"

"Quick, quickly stop it! It's summoning a pack of Greed Demon Wolves!"

...

Cloud Marsh State, Northwest City.

Demon Cult Alliance headquarters.

"Chief, our teleportation array is malfunctioning!"

"And our Demon Seeking Mirror shows that more than a dozen Hell-level Demons have appeared around Cloud Marsh State!"

"They have already surrounded the entire Cloud Marsh State; it looks like they won't allow anyone to leave!"

On the main seat, Ren Zonghuai, the Chief of Ten Thousand Souls Demon Cult, was full of anger.

"What the Hell?"

"Where did these Hell Demons come from?"

"Send someone to negotiate, which Demon Cult is operating this?"

"Don't they know that my Sacred Soul Cult is currently refining the ten thousand souls banner in Cloud Marsh State?"

"This is a provocation to my Sacred Soul Cult!"

After a while, a black-robed man rushed into the main hall.

Seeing his subordinate so disheveled, Ren Zonghuai cursed, "As the great Disciple of my Sacred Soul Cult, pay attention to your image!"

"Have you found out which Demon Cult is operating this?"

The great Disciple shook his head and quickly said, "No, but Revered Master, a Demon Supreme has appeared in Soul Nourishing City!"

Ren Zonghuai's originally irritable eyes instantly cleared, and he no longer cared about his image, hurriedly walking towards the steps and saying, "Notify everyone, retreat!"

...

Extreme Cold Land, Sima Family.

Sima Changfeng sat before the brazier, looking incredulously at several blurred images of Soul Nourishing City.

"Demon Supreme, Demon Supreme..."

"It's actually the arrival of a Demon Supreme!"

The old man behind him asked curiously, "Feng Shi, what is this Demon Supreme you speak of?"

Sima Changfeng took a deep breath and said,

"At the beginning of Heaven and Earth, in the Chaos Ruins, a wisp of spiritual mist, by absorbing the impure Origin Qi, transformed into the First Demon, known by the world as Chaos First Devil!"

"According to records, the First Demon's ability was on par with the Opening Heaven Great God, extremely powerful!"

"Because that First Demon acted cruelly and bloodily, causing widespread suffering in the Chaos World, Heaven and Earth became enraged, giving birth to Heavenly Dao, intending to use it to exterminate the First Demon!"

"Unfortunately, the First Demon had devoured impure Origin, achieving an Immortal and indestructible body, so Heavenly Dao had no way to deal with him!"

"To protect all living beings in Heaven and Earth, the Opening Heaven Great God took action, cooperating with Heavenly Dao to create a new space outside the Chaos World: the Demon Realm!"

"Under their combined efforts, the First Demon was imprisoned in the Demon Realm, never to leave for eternity!"

"But the First Demon did not resign himself to this fate; before he was Seal, he created the Demonic Path, leaving tens of thousands of types of Demons, as well as countless demonic creatures and demonic artifacts!"

"Among them, his four core Legacies were the most prominent!"

"The four great Demon Ancestors we know — Hongmeng Demon Ancestor, Ice Scorpion Demon Ancestor, Bloodthirsty Demon Ancestor, and Myriad Desires Demon Ancestor — all came from the First Demon's Legacy!"

"These four Demon Ancestors represent the four orthodox Demonic Path factions!"

"But there are countless Prodigies in the world; after millions of years of evolution, thirty-six Prodigies created entirely new Demonic Path factions. Among them, one faction even surpassed the four great Demon Ancestors in prominence and was blacklisted by all forces at the time, absolutely forbidden for anyone to spread or record!"

"That was the Supreme Demon, a faction that entered the Demonic Path with the will of a Venerable!"

"After this Demon formed, wherever he passed, everything would submit; those who defied him would die without a burial place!"

"That was the only Demon who ever ruled the Three Realms, an honor even the First Demon did not have!"

"In that era, living beings suffered, and Devilish Qi soared to the heavens!"

"Finally, Heavenly Dao could no longer bear it, but was unable to act directly, so it created the God Race, gradually extinguishing the opponent's control over demonic power!"

"Until the appearance of Hongmeng Demon Ancestor, who tried to devour the Supreme Demon, but failed. Heavenly Dao took this opportunity to completely annihilate the Demon Supreme and set up the Venerable Dao Tribulation!"

"So from then on, even the emperors of the Three Realms could no longer control the Venerable will!!"

"To possess the Venerable will, one must pass the Venerable Dao Tribulation!"

"To pass the Venerable Dao Tribulation, one must have the strength of an Immortal!"

"And Immortal Ascension has long since passed the Heart Demon Tribulation..."

"Therefore, the Supreme Demon completely vanished from the long river of time!"

"I never expected that in this era, the Supreme Demon would reappear..."

"It seems the celestial phenomena are not as simple as I imagined; this time, many forces are likely involved!"

"I vaguely feel someone is drawing all forces to Cloud Marsh State!"

"Taking the Sima Family's Secret Realm and immediately going to Cloud Marsh State is already an overt scheme!"

"I suspect this is just the beginning; the person behind this has absolutely profound intentions!"

"With the Nine Ring Aura Bureau, my Sima Family has basically already secured victory!"

"So we absolutely cannot fall into this vortex!"

As his voice fell, the old man behind Sima Changfeng said with a worried expression, "Feng Shi, are we not going to bother with those secret realm stones?"

"I'm worried that if too much time passes, the other party will completely take possession of those secret realm stones!"

Sima Changfeng shook his head, an expression of confidence on his face: "Too much time?"

"Even if those forces are given a hundred years, they won't find the marks I set..."

Before he finished speaking, Sima Changfeng's expression suddenly changed.

"Damn it!"

"I feel that the marks I made are rapidly disappearing!"

"No, send someone outside Cloud Marsh State to bring Sima Jiang back!"

"I will use his aura to summon that thief back!"

...

Deep within the world.

In a peculiar space, a huge round table was set.

On the round table were twelve indistinct figures.

Among them, an graceful purple figure spoke first.

"I sense it; the source of this chaotic era is in Nine Provinces!"

"The starting point was Black Yuan Forest, and currently, the core of the turmoil is in Cloud Marsh State!"

Another turbid old man's voice replied, "The moment the celestial phenomenon was born, I received the Heavenly Dao Command!"

"It was an instruction left by Heavenly Dao before it fell into slumber!"

"It told us to join forces to cut down evil!"

The purple figure immediately asked, "Who is the evil?"

The old man said hoarsely, "I'm not sure; Heavenly Dao won't tell!"

"Heavenly Dao must follow the Law of 'Silence,' otherwise it will be destroyed by the Law!"

"But I still found some slight details: a snake-patterned chaotic era map appeared on the Heavenly Dao Command. I think this is hinting to us that the target might be related to snakes!"

Another golden figure shook his head and said, "The scope of 'snake' is too broad; it's impossible to find!"

The purple figure directly said, "No need to search!"

"Since the next core is in Cloud Marsh State of the Nine Provinces World, then we will wait for the other party to come to Cloud Marsh State!"

The majestic figure to the east nodded and said, "Then it's settled!"

"Let Cloud Marsh State become the burial ground of that evil creature!"

"As for Heavenly Dao's reward, it depends on everyone's abilities. Whoever completes this task, the reward will go to that party!"
