"That’s right, but honestly, this Young Master Wang Yufan’s origins are mysterious. We can only believe half of what he says. As for whether Xuan Youzi betrayed humanity, we still need to deliberate on that. If he didn’t betray us, wouldn’t we be wronging a good person?

We absolutely must not do something that causes pain to our own and joy to our enemies. This matter, for now, can only be known between you and me among a few people. It must not be spread. The great war is imminent, and if this news gets out, it will greatly demoralize our army.

But regarding Xuan Youzi, you and I will monitor him secretly together. We will communicate at all times," Red Scale transmitted to Shura Emperor.

Shura Emperor also nodded, indicating his agreement with what Red Scale said.

...

Lingxu Realm, which is now the Demon Realm.

In the endless starry sky, nearly a million people from the Eight Great Realms were majestically suspended in front of the Demon Realm. In front of everyone, the strongest among the Eight Great Realms representing humanity held the Demon Sealing Sword, looking at the Demon Realm not far ahead, which was enveloped by an invisible grand formation.

"Shura Emperor, why didn’t Young Master Wang Yufan come?" Bi Shan of the Flying God Realm asked.

Hearing Bi Shan’s words, the others also turned to look at Shura Emperor.

"Young Master Wang Yufan will be here soon. Without Young Master Wang Yufan, we might not be able to break this grand formation," just as Shura Emperor finished speaking, a voice appeared in everyone’s ears.

"Here I am!" As the words fell, a figure in white appeared before everyone.

"Young Master Wang Yufan!" The strongest of the Eight Great Realms cupped their fists towards Ni Chang.

Wang Yufan nodded, then turned his head to look in the direction of the Demon Realm.

"It’s still the same as before, but the humans inside have disappeared, leaving only demons. Perhaps all of this is because of me," Wang Yufan murmured in his heart.

To him, these Nine Great Realms, the Demon Race didn’t invade other planes but waited for him to disappear before invading the Lingxu Realm. It was very likely because he had sealed Demon Ancestor Magic Zhi in the Netherworld Star Abyss, but at that time, his realm was only Divine Emperor Realm.

"Young Master Wang Yufan, we have all arrived here, yet the Demon Race shows no movement. Is there some conspiracy here?" Shura Emperor asked.

Wang Yufan smiled and said, "No worries. As long as our strength is strong enough, all conspiracies and tricks will be crushed. Oh, by the way, didn’t I ask you to manage some small planes earlier? How have you done?"

"Young Master Wang Yufan, three days ago, we already went to the small and medium-sized planes belonging to each of our realms, as you instructed. As you said, the Demon Race had already begun to devour the small and medium-sized planes, and some small planes have been completely occupied by the Demon Race. We also sent some strong individuals to exterminate them.

By the way, this time we also met your disciple," Shura Emperor said with a smile.

"Hmm, I do have a disciple. I didn’t bring him when I came here. This tempering is also a good opportunity for him," Wang Yufan said with a smile.

Just as Wang Yufan was speaking, Xuan Youzi’s heart stirred. He still didn’t know about Ni Chang having a disciple. If he could capture Wang Yufan’s relatives and friends in this war, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

As his thoughts raced, he directly transmitted a message to Shura Emperor and Liu Dao, the strongest of the Blood Kill Realm, with whom he had a good relationship:

"Brother Liu, does Young Master Wang Yufan have relatives or friends in other planes? This is incredible. From what he said, Young Master Wang Yufan actually came from a lower realm. How could his strength be so high?"

To prevent Liu Dao from suspecting him, Xuan Youzi deliberately said a lot.

"Brother Xuan, I’m not too clear about what you just said. I only heard that Young Master Wang Yufan seems to have come from a place called Dao Realm, and this Dao Realm is under the jurisdiction of Bai Junxiu of the Heavenly Origin Realm. And this Brother Bai rarely speaks and has a cold demeanor," Liu Dao said.

After hearing the information he wanted to know, Xuan Youzi murmured in his heart, "Dao Realm, Dao Realm."

"Hey, Brother Xuan, what’s wrong with you...?" Liu Dao transmitted.

"Oh, oh, nothing... I was just thinking about today’s demon-exterminating matter, sorry."

"No worries. Today, it’s inevitable that we’ll have a Life and Death slaughter. This isn’t for ourselves, but for the future of our human race," Liu Dao transmitted.

Xuan Youzi also nodded in response, but at this moment, his left sleeve subtly twitched, and a message directly entered a jade pendant and disappeared.

What he didn’t know was that his every move was seen by Red Scale, who had been watching him.

"Could this Xuan Youzi really be a traitor to the Demon Race? I must investigate this thoroughly," Red Scale said, and then a message was also sent from his hand.

At this moment, a general of the Demon Race, standing at the very back of the army, with two wings and a golden helmet, received the message from Red Scale. His attention was immediately fixed on the You Realm army.

Soon, in his eyes, one person from the You Realm stealthily left the area, and the golden-armored, winged man followed without hesitation.

Red Scale sensed the departure of the golden-armored man and became even more vigilant towards Xuan Youzi.

Shura Emperor, who had just finished speaking with Wang Yufan, felt a surge of anger in his heart after hearing Red Scale’s transmission. There was no direct evidence yet to prove Xuan Youzi’s betrayal; they had to wait for an opportunity.

...

At this moment, in the Demon Realm.

The Four Demon Emperors stood behind their Demon Ancestor Magic Zhi, and behind them, a million Demon Race members were also majestically waiting.

"Lord Demon Ancestor, why don’t we go out to meet the enemy?" Demon War asked.

"Us going out? That’s impossible. Since they are coming to fight our Demon Race, they will definitely have a way to break through the Demonic Sky Shield I set up, so we don’t need to rush. We’ll just wait for them here," Demon Ancestor Magic Zhi said.

Hearing Demon Ancestor Magic Zhi’s words, the Demon Emperors understood.

Wang Yufan, standing outside the barrier, clearly felt a familiar aura.

"It seems I was right. He has recovered, and his strength is even greater than before," Wang Yufan muttered to himself.

"Young Master Wang Yufan, please break this barrier so our army can enter the Demon Realm," Shura Emperor said.

Wang Yufan nodded, then took out the Feng Ling Sword, and slowly swung a horizontal strike towards the Demon Race’s grand formation in front of him.

When Wang Yufan unleashed this sword strike, the entire starry sky trembled, and spatial storms continuously formed, directly smashing onto the Demon Race’s protective shield.

"Boom..."

A huge tremor echoed throughout the starry sky.

"This... what’s the situation?" Shura Emperor murmured.

"I don’t know. Young Master Wang Yufan’s sword just now could shatter this part of the starry sky. I feel that kind of power has surpassed the Divine Emperor Realm and might have reached a completely new domain," Red Scale of the Demon Race said.

"Hmm, I feel the same way," Liu Dao of the Blood Kill Realm said.

The others were also in shock, while Xuan Youzi’s eyes revealed a hint of fear towards Wang Yufan. He didn’t know why he had that feeling just now, but it was truly palpable.

...

In the Demon Realm, when Ni Chang’s sword struck the barrier, the entire Demon Realm seemed to be at its end, with ravines crisscrossing and mountains and rivers toppling. Seeing this scene, Demon Ancestor Magic Zhi unleashed a power that suppressed all heavens from his body, minimizing the damage to the Demon Realm.

Because he had been momentarily distracted, that attack made him feel an incredibly familiar power—the person who had once sealed him in the Netherworld Star Abyss for tens of thousands of years. Such hatred made his eyes turn red at this moment.

"Could it really be you? If it is you, that would be wonderful. I will take back the humiliation you gave me tens of thousands of years ago a hundredfold, and I will suppress you in the stinking ditch of the Land of Sin," Demon Ancestor Magic Zhi growled.

And hearing Demon Ancestor Magic Zhi’s words, Demon War and the other three Demon Emperors felt a surge of energy.

Because they heard that their Demon Ancestor had just felt the aura of that person, it seemed to be correct. If the white-clothed youth outside was not that person’s descendant, then he was that person’s true body. If it was the true body, then whether their Demon Race could win this battle was still an unknown.

As they pondered, they heard a "crack, crack, crack" sound from above their heads.

"Not good, our barrier is about to shatter! All Demon Race armies, prepare for the great war to begin immediately!" Demon War roared loudly at this moment. His voice, like a giant wave, entered the ears of every Demon Race member.

The sound of the Demon Race’s barrier shattering grew louder and louder, eventually unable to withstand it and completely breaking apart.

As the shattered grand formation gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight, both sides slowly revealed themselves before everyone.

"It’s finally coming! Everyone, listen to my command, prepare for battle!" Shura Emperor shouted loudly. His voice, like rolling thunder, echoed in everyone’s ears. Everyone from the seven realms tightly gripped their weapons, their eyes fixed on the Demon Race army ahead. For them, this was their first battle against the Demon Race, and everyone’s spirits were highly concentrated. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

However, from the moment the Demon Race barrier completely shattered and disappeared without a trace, Demon Ancestor Magic Zhi’s eyes saw Wang Yufan, dressed in white, standing at the very front of the human race, with an indescribable smile on his face.

"It’s truly, truly you! You really aren’t dead, hahaha!" Demon Ancestor Magic Zhi directly said to Wang Yufan.

"It seems you’re quite happy that I’m not dead, huh? Tens of thousands of years have passed, and you’re still the same," Wang Yufan said.

"Hahaha, of course I’m happy you’re not dead, because your life can only end in my hands, and only I can decide your Life and Death. What you gave me, I will return to you a hundredfold," After Demon Ancestor Magic Zhi finished speaking, his demonic energy directly erupted, and a colossal illusory figure of a gluttonous beast appeared above his head.
