Chapter 141 The Demon Realm Continues to Witness Strange Phenomena
Deep within the Flame Demon City, the Demon Realm Rift, like an ancient behemoth slumbering in the netherworld, revealed a graceful figure standing amidst the rift, his silver hair dancing wildly like a soul-summoning banner from the underworld—it was none other than the demon who was not a demon.

But then, Xi Mie Tian arrived. With a long shout, he activated the dual power of Buddha and Demon, and the crimson demonic energy surged like the karmic fire of purgatory, within which a faint golden holy light shone through, and the dual-power body displayed its might.

The ever-flowing magic power pulled at the heavy fault lines. From the endless depths of the earth, the white-haired demon seemed to bring forth the demonic source hidden in the Yellow Springs. The fierce howls of ghosts, hidden in hell, could be faintly heard. A trace of pleasure and fanaticism appeared in the eyes of the white-haired demon.

"The day of liberation is coming soon, drink!"

With a roar, his wounds burst open, blood gushing out, but it evaporated instantly upon contact with the demonic energy, turning into wisps of blood mist that merged into the demonic essence. The injuries did not deter him in the slightest; instead, they made his eyes burn even brighter and his spirit even more frenzied, as if the more intense the pain, the more powerful his strength became.

At the same time, strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the sky above the land of China. Blood-red light stained the sky, like a blood-soaked inferno hanging upside down; thunder roared, like the wrath of the heavens shaking the eight directions; a storm howled, like ten thousand horses galloping and ravaging the nine provinces. These three strange phenomena intertwined, magnificent yet filled with boundless killing intent. Throughout the land of China, anyone with even a little cultivation sensed them, and they all looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with astonishment and doubt.

At the peak of the sea of ​​clouds, the disciples of Xuanzong gathered.

The leader was none other than Xuanzong Xianshou. Gazing at the strange phenomenon in the sky, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Blood-red light stains the sky, demonic clouds float, and thunder roars incessantly—this is a sign that the fault lines of the Demon Realm are about to close. Once the Otherworldly Demon Realm appears, the world will surely descend into chaos. Huang Shangzi and Jiu Fangchi are currently deploying defenses in the Vast Ocean Primitive Forest; they are likely in danger."

Before he finished speaking, all the Taoist disciples looked worried.

"There's no time to lose, let's head to the primeval forest of the vast sea of ​​clouds to provide support!" With a command from the leader, the group immediately took to the air, their robes fluttering as they disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

Meanwhile, above the sea of ​​clouds, two bridges and two shadows stand at opposite ends, and different people, looking at the same "scenery," have the same thoughts in their hearts.

The demon realm is about to enter the mortal world, so it's time for him to emerge as well.

"Bauhinia Robe".

"Golden Flowing Shadow".

"And what would you do then?"

……

Strange phenomena appeared one after another. Even the Realm of Nothingness and the Four Directions Platform were affected. Throughout the land, extraordinary people observed the phenomena, each with their own thoughts. It was a time when the winds of change were about to blow again.

Within the Otherworld, the Demon Realm Fault, a fault line about to break free from the abyss, emits a powerful attraction from its black hole, struggling against the power of the demons.

Fu Yingshi gazed at Xi Mie Tianlai, who was exerting all his strength to activate the fault line, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "The underground suction is so terrifying; breaking free from the fault line will likely be difficult."

Jiu Huo stared intently at the figure battling through the lava, his voice as firm as iron: "I believe in him."

Recalling those days, in the Otherworldly Demon Realm, where bloodlines were highly valued, she defied all opposition to take in Xi Mie Tian Lai, a demon who was not a demon, enduring countless cold stares and criticisms. Yet it was this very boy who, when the Otherworldly Demon Realm was on the verge of destruction by heavenly lightning, turned the tide with his astonishing power. Now, she still chooses to believe, believing that he will surely accomplish this crucial task.

Beneath the fault line, within the lava, Xi Mie Tianlai roared loudly, increasing his strength by three points!

Defying the heavens and evil forces, how can anything stand in their way!

The rock strata beneath his palm trembled violently, and finally, with his full force, broke free from the pull of the underground vortex and slowly rose. Jiu Huo, watching this scene, also remembered what Xi Mie Tian had said.

You only get one chance!
"It's here! The Seven Demonic Powers!" The power of the Seven Demons and the Seven Demonic Powers were unleashed. The demons channeled their true energy once more, and the three rifted layers began to reconnect. At the same time, the Demon Queen opened the wooden box she had acquired from the pawnshop. Inside, a beam of holy light flowed through the seams of the rifts. Suddenly, the heavens and earth shook, and the demonic light intensified. After the intense tremor, the demonic light and the character "evil" surged through the earth's veins, and a passage to the depths of the Demon Realm finally appeared. Then, Jiu Huo suddenly heard a deafening roar, and space and time underwent a dramatic transformation.

"Hahaha, hahaha, this is the real Otherworld!"

Amidst the strange phenomena of the sun and moon rising together, yin and yang converging, and constant thunder, red demonic energy rapidly engulfed the Central Plains sky. Faults were joined together, and a new world was opened through the passage. The entire body of the demonic dragon was connected, and the otherworldly demonic dragon awakened once more. The raging demonic energy surged out of the city of flames and attacked the sky. The yin and yang energies clashed fiercely, instantly creating a scene of black and white.

"With the rebirth of the alien dragon, the demon, ghost, and evil races of the Otherworld will unite, and the situation will be very different again." Fu Yingshi nodded slightly. Although Jiu Huo also paid a price, for the Otherworld, such a deal was undoubtedly worthwhile.

At the very moment the fault line closed, a void portal appeared behind Jiu Huo. Then, the portal opened, and a giant hand formed from condensed light and shadow reached out to grab Jiu Huo.

"Hmm?" Xi Mie Tianlai, who had just broken free of his shackles and chains, was about to stop them when he saw this scene. However, the hand was even faster than Xi Mie Tianlai. It passed straight through Jiu Huo's body and then retreated behind the door with a dark purple light. The door also disappeared.

"That is?"

"It's just some transactions to connect the fault lines, nothing to mention." Jiu Huo looked at Xi Mie Tian and explained, "Now that the external war is underway, I'll have to trouble you. The Realm of Nothingness is probably a trap set by the righteous path."

"If you want to take something, you must first give something. The righteous way is indeed a good plan. Leave it to me."

As soon as Xi Mie Tianlai finished speaking, he took a step and arrived outside the Flame Demon City in an instant. At this moment, strange phenomena appeared in the sky again: the sun split into two suns and a calamity star appeared. Wherever the demonic energy passed, everything began to collapse. Three stars circled around the golden crow, like a tearful sun hanging high in the sky. The gravity of the Bitter Realm changed drastically.

Within the primeval forest of the vast sea, Huang Shangzi and Jiu Fangchi were leading the Xuanzong disciples in resisting the demonic army. The formation they had set up was teetering on the brink of collapse due to the drastic changes in the gravity of heaven and earth, and the demonic forces seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, putting their formation in grave danger.

"Stabilize the formation!" Jiu Fangchi shouted, his hands forming hand seals to barely maintain the formation's core. Huang Shangzi also looked grave, channeling his true energy with all his might to try and stabilize the formation.

However, due to the sudden changes in the world, the two felt that their true energy was not circulating smoothly, and the formation was about to collapse.

Just then, a powerful demonic aura pressed down from the sky, like a mountain collapsing, making it hard to breathe. The two looked up and saw a figure with silver hair appearing and disappearing in the demonic energy; it was Xi Mie Tian Lai.

"Xuanzong?" Xi Mietian's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion, yet it seemed as if a thousand demonic sounds were exploding in everyone's ears.

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Jiu Fangchi was greatly alarmed: "It's you! Xi Mie Tian Lai!"

Before the words were even finished, Xi Mie Tianlai had already made his move, striking down with a palm. Demonic energy transformed into a ferocious demonic hand, heading straight for Jiu Fangchi. Jiu Fangchi hurriedly dodged, but was ultimately a fraction too slow, and was sent flying by the palm strike, coughing up blood as he collapsed to the ground, severely injured. Without Jiu Fangchi's support, the formation instantly crumbled, and demonic spirits surged in. Huang Shangzi had no time to react and was struck by the backlash from the formation, his aura thrown into chaos. He spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered backward.

Xi Mie Tianlai's eyes remained cold. With another casual palm strike, he blasted Huang Shangzi straight into the demon army. Seeing their prey fall into their trap, the demons swarmed forward and overwhelmed Huang Shangzi in the blink of an eye.

"what!"

Jiu Fangchi watched helplessly as his companion suffered this calamity, unable to help due to his severe injuries, his eyes filled with sorrow and resentment. Xi Mie Tianlai, however, seemed completely unconcerned, turning to look towards the distant direction of the Boundless Realm.

There...
