The Eternal Demon God's arrival in the Spirit Realm was like an apocalypse; wherever he passed, Devilish Qi surged, and lives were scorched.
Relying on his perception of the residual Aura of the Soul-Chasing Secret Art, he tracked it all the way to an ancient forest in the Spirit Realm, where Spiritual Qi was dense and ancient trees towered, but which also became gloomy and silent due to the Demon God's arrival.
"Chaos Cultivator, you have nowhere to hide!"
The Eternal Demon God furiously unleashed his rage, waving his hands, and two black Devilish Flames, like dragons emerging from the sea, instantly swallowed the entire forest, turning it into scorched earth, and countless living beings vanished into ash under this power.
However, just then, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of the Eternal Demon God.
"Eternal, what is the meaning of this!"
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, in her colorful robes, floated like an immortal, her Phoenix eyes coldly staring at the Eternal Demon God, questioning him.
"Phoenix, why aren't you staying in your Imperial Palace, running here to interfere in my affairs? Are you tired of living?" The Eternal Demon God's eyes were sinister as he said in a deep voice.
"Eternal, this Realm is not a place for your wanton behavior. You slaughter indiscriminately and kill the innocent; aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Dao's retribution!" The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's lips curled into a cold smile, and the coldness in her Phoenix eyes intensified.
The Eternal Demon God snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping towards the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's back.
Only to see a Sword Shadow arrive in an instant, and a figure emerged with it, none other than Grand Profound Sword Revered, whose gaze swept around at the devastation, staring at the Eternal Demon God, with waves of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Eternal, you are truly so deranged!" Grand Profound Sword Revered questioned in a deep voice.
The Eternal Demon God's lips curled into a mocking smile, his gaze shifting back and forth between the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor and Grand Profound Sword Revered, as if he had seen through everything.
"Phoenix, Grand Profound, why do you two pretend? How could I not know that your so-called justice and compassion are merely pretexts to conceal your greed for the Chaotic Great Dao. You have chased me to this place, just like me, all for the method of Chaos Cultivation, attempting to use it to Break through your current Realm and reach that supreme existence." The Eternal Demon God directly exposed them.
"Eternal, you mustn't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards!" The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor angrily retorted, "We pursue the Chaotic Great Dao to protect this world; how can someone as selfish as you understand!"
Grand Profound Sword Revered's Sword eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Eternal, you harbor ill intentions, attempting to satisfy your endless desire for slaughter with the Chaotic Great Dao. We Sword Cultivators, though we pursue the pinnacle of the Dao of the Sword, know even more that the Sword carries the Dao, and the Dao transforms people. If the Chaotic Great Dao falls into your hands..."
"I'm too lazy to waste words with you!" The Eternal Demon God impatiently interrupted Grand Profound Sword Revered, Devilish Qi surging within him like a boiling ink sea, his eyes as black as an abyss, revealing endless killing intent: "Whatever your purpose, don't even think of stopping me from obtaining the method of Chaos Cultivation. Whoever dares to block me, I will kill them!"
The Eternal Demon God's figure flashed, appearing like a phantom in front of the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, and with a wave of his palm, a black Devilish Flame roared out like a giant Dragon, heading straight for the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor.
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor shifted her body, easily dodging the attack, while simultaneously forming hand seals and muttering incantations. In an instant, immortal light overflowed, and a gigantic Phoenix phantom appeared behind her, flapping its wings and soaring high, emitting clear cries, launching a fierce attack towards the Eternal Demon God.
Seeing this, Grand Profound Sword Revered also moved, his long sword unsheathed, Sword light like a Dragon, striking directly at the Eternal Demon God's vital points.
The Eternal Demon God snorted coldly, waving his hands, and the black Devilish Flame instantly transformed into a barrier, blocking Grand Profound Sword Revered's Sword light. At the same time, his figure flashed again, appearing behind Grand Profound Sword Revered, his demonic claws like hooks, aiming directly for Grand Profound Sword Revered's back.
Grand Profound Sword Revered reacted extremely quickly, shifting his body, narrowly dodging the Eternal Demon God's fatal blow, and immediately unleashed all his Divine Ability, engaging in a thrilling battle with the Eternal Demon God.
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor also showed no weakness. While controlling the Phoenix phantom to attack the Eternal Demon God, she searched for the Eternal Demon God's weaknesses. The three of them engaged in a thrilling battle on the ruins covered in Devilish Qi, immortal light, and Sword Qi.
At this moment, the Painting World Treasure Mansion was like a grain of dust, its Aura not daring to leak, swaying in the Void Realm with the aftermath of the battle, as if it could be swallowed by this destructive power at any moment.
When the Eternal Demon God suddenly arrived and began his rampant slaughter, the White Feather Spirit Eagle carrying the Painting World Treasure Mansion was the first to suffer. Li Mu dared not show his face easily, letting the Painting World Treasure Mansion, with the Eternal Demon God's attacks, be like a small boat in a raging storm, constantly on the verge of capsizing.
Inside the Treasure Mansion, Li Mu's expression was solemn, and through the Treasure Mansion's Restriction, he clearly sensed the thrilling battle outside.
The Eternal Demon God's Devilish Flames were monstrous, like a giant fire beast in the darkness, devouring all light and vitality, while the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's Phoenix phantom was like a Divine Rank from the Nine Heavens, emitting sacred light, forming a stark contrast with the Devilish Flames. Grand Profound Sword Revered's Sword Qi was even more incomparably sharp... The battle of the three destroyed the ancient forest and shattered the earth, like an apocalyptic scene.
At present, this battle was definitely not something he could interfere with. Li Mu chose the safest method — using the power of the Painting World Treasure Mansion to conceal his figure and wait for the opportune moment. He sat cross-legged at the core of the Treasure Mansion's Five Elements Spirit Palace, forming hand seals, guiding the Treasure Mansion to form one hidden Restriction after another, concealing its Aura.
The battle between the Eternal Demon God, the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, and Grand Profound Sword Revered became increasingly fierce. However, under this destructive power, the Painting World Treasure Mansion was like a quiet, sealed fortress, firmly protecting Li Mu within it. Giant
However, precisely because of the aftermath of the battle, the Treasure Mansion Space vibrated violently, the ground shook, and Li Mu, Xue'er, and all the Beast Tamers were terrified and uneasy.
"Li Dage, how could this happen? Did something happen to the Treasure Mansion!" Xue'er asked Li Mu for help.
"Everyone, don't panic. This is the aftermath of the battle outside. The Painting World Treasure Mansion can withstand all of this." Li Mu feigned composure and comforted them.
At this moment, Li Mu was actually unsure in his heart. The Painting World Treasure Mansion had powerful concealment and defensive capabilities, but under such a terrifying battle, it was by no means foolproof.
However, at present, besides continuing to hide in the Treasure Mansion, Li Mu had no better solution.
Time flew by. Under Li Mu's guidance, the Beast Tamers began to cooperate with the Treasure Mansion Spirit to rescue the damaged spiritual plants, working tirelessly and no longer worried about the situation outside.
The fierce battle outside was already nearing its end. The clash between the three was clearly just a test and not a full-force attack. They seemed to fear the power of the Heavenly Dao's will, not daring to exert their full strength, only engaging in a brief exchange to secretly gauge each other's strength.
"Hmph, let's stop for today. When I advance further in strength, I will surely make you suffer!" The Eternal Demon God snorted coldly, his figure suddenly transforming into a black stream of light, fleeing into the distance, Devilish Qi surging, instantly disappearing into the horizon.
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor and Grand Profound Sword Revered exchanged glances. The Eternal Demon God's retreat today did not mean the threat was gone; instead, it might be the calm before a greater storm.
"Grand Profound, what do you think of today's events?" The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor asked softly, with a hint of worry in her tone.
Grand Profound Sword Revered's Sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, his Divine Sense swept around, and he said in a deep voice, "The Eternal Demon God acted rashly today but failed to succeed. There must be another reason. We will just wait and see."
After speaking, the two also transformed into two streaks of light and flew in different directions, leaving behind the ruins destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.
As the Eternal Demon God, the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, and Grand Profound Sword Revered departed, the ancient forest, destroyed by the aftermath of the battle, gradually returned to tranquility, leaving only desolation and dead silence. However, beneath this seemingly calm surface, hidden undercurrents surged.
Inside the Painting World Treasure Mansion, Li Mu's expression remained solemn. He had escaped this calamity today entirely due to the Painting World Treasure Mansion's power of concealment. But this also made him even more cautious, not daring to expose himself easily.
Who knew if the three Demon Rank existences were still constantly watching this place? To be safe, Li Mu chose to go into seclusion for cultivation and refine his Seventh-Order Dao Sword.
Time flew like a white steed passing a crack. Twenty-three Years of time were but a flick of a finger in the vast world of cultivation.
The ancient forest, once destroyed by the fierce battle between the Eternal Demon God, the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, and Grand Profound Sword Revered, had miraculously bloomed with new vitality under the baptism of Years.

Spring passed and autumn came, the seasons changed, and nature, in its unique way, healed the wounds left by the war. On the originally scorched earth, tender green grass stubbornly broke through the soil, and gradually, patches of lush green grass gathered into a green ocean. Beside the ancient tree stumps, new saplings grew vigorously under the spring breeze, seemingly narrating the tenacity and indomitable spirit of life.
A foraging Third-Rank Earth Rock Spirit Mouse scurried through this revived ancient forest. Its small body moved quickly on the ground, and its nimble eyes gleamed with curiosity. In this land reborn, it seemed to sense an unusual Aura, an ancient and mysterious power that drew it forward continuously.
Soon, the Earth Rock Spirit Mouse, holding a small jade stone in its mouth, guided by an unknown force, quietly embarked on a long-distance migration, flying away towards the west.
Another three Years passed in a flash, and thousands of miles away, in the far west, a city filled with Demonic Qi appeared.
This city was covered with magnificent ancient trees and shrouded in Demonic Qi, known as Wan Yao City. The city was immense, majestic, and grand in Aura. Its city walls soared into the clouds, built of obsidian, emitting a faint, eerie glow, as if capable of resisting all attacks in the world. Giant Yao Trees grew all around, with sentry posts at their tops, where un-transformed giant Yao Birds perched, like a fortress of war.
Inside the city, pavilions stood in rows, and streets crisscrossed, each place exuding an extraordinary feel. On the streets, Yao shadows flickered, in various forms: some wore colorful feathered robes, their wings gently spread, like divine birds from the heavens; others were massive in build, their limbs like pillars, their eyes gleaming with wisdom, clearly Yao Beasts with ancient Bloodlines. These Yao Beasts, whether strolling leisurely or conversing in whispers, all appeared calm and composed, possessing an inherent majesty.
Wan Yao City, as the Holy Land of the Yao Race, had numerous Yao Kings. They either occupied a region or commanded All-Demon Tribes, each possessing earth-shattering strength. They either hid in deep mountains and old forests or appeared in bustling markets, but without exception, they all guarded this city and the Yao Race's glory behind it.
Due to the invasion of the Demon Abyss and the Immortal Spirit Realm, the native Yao Race of the Spirit Realm had no choice but to unite to resist the slaughter, and over time,
Wan Yao City became the Holy Land of All-Demon Tribes. Here, the most top-tier forces of the Yao Race gathered, especially those Mahayana Yao Emperors, each mastering earth-shattering Divine Ability, becoming the mainstays of the Yao Race in resisting external enemies.
The Foundation of Wan Yao City was actually an ancient Eighth-Rank Yao Tree. This Yao Tree had a massive trunk and luxuriant branches and leaves, like a natural green barrier, tightly enveloping Wan Yao City. Its roots penetrated deep into the earth, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, providing a continuous supply of spiritual power and vitality to the entire city. And the city walls and pavilions of Wan Yao City were built relying on the body of this Yao Tree, integrated with it, as if they were natural guardians.
Even more miraculously, this Eighth-Rank Yao Tree not only nurtured Wan Yao City but also nourished a large number of Wood Yao. These Wood Yao varied in form; some were as small and delicate as little elves, while others were as majestic and solemn as giants. They breathed and shared fate with the Yao Tree, guarding this land, and at the same time adding a touch of mystery and harmony to Wan Yao City.
On the streets of Wan Yao City, the Wood Yao coexisted harmoniously with Yao Beasts of various races. They either assisted Yao Race residents in building houses or provided them with food and water. Some Wood Yao were even skilled in medicine, treating the injured Yao Race. Their existence made Wan Yao City not just a front line of battle, but also a home full of warmth and hope.
When enemies from the Demon Abyss and the Immortal Spirit Realm attacked, this Eighth-Rank Yao Tree would emit dense Spiritual Qi fluctuations, tightly protecting the Yao Race residents of Wan Yao City. And those Wood Yao would transform into brave warriors, fighting alongside their Yao Race compatriots to jointly resist foreign enemies.
"Such a terrifying Yao City, Master, should we enter this city!" The Green-Eyed Golden Ape - Xiao Jin's voice carried a hint of awe, his gaze fixed on the majestic Wan Yao City in front of him.
"Be careful, don't call me Master." Li Mu reminded him, then took out a black cloak, covering his entire body, leaving only his two deep eyes exposed. At the same time, he used the Reverse Yuan Concealing Qi Divine Ability to change his Aura, making himself look like an Ape Cultivator.
"Mhm!" Xiao Jin's expression was serious, and he remained silent.
"You go first, we're entering the city!" Li Mu whispered, then led Xiao Jin towards the city gate of Wan Yao City.
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw several Yao Race soldiers in heavy armor standing there, holding cold, gleaming long spears, their gazes sharp, scrutinizing every Yao Cultivator entering and leaving the city gate.
However, when they saw the Green-Eyed Golden Ape - Xiao Jin display the majestic Aura of a Seven-rank True Spirit, and Li Mu's extraordinary Aura, though concealed, still faintly revealed, the expressions of the Yao Race guards involuntarily softened, and a hint of awe flashed in their eyes.
In Wan Yao City, strength was the best pass. (End of Chapter)
