Ultimate: Fishing Through the Heavens, Starting with Five Enlightenment Templates

Enormous profits, like the sweetest poison, instantly corrupted the reason of all demons.

Even the demons under the command of the other three demon lords began to have their eyes flashing intensely and their minds becoming active.

Should they seek refuge with the Demon Lord from Beyond the Heavens?

Should we pledge allegiance to this newly appointed marshal?

In the demon realm, betraying one's former master is commonplace as long as one can get a share of the spoils.

Diablo's deep gaze swept over the restless demons below, and a cold smile seemed to curl at the corner of his lips, which were formed by shadows.

He didn't care about his subordinates' greed and betrayal; that was simply the law of survival in the demon realm.

Regardless of the struggles below, he only needs one result.

"In that case, you shall immediately begin preparations for the invasion."

"Tianwai is the commander-in-chief this time and has the right to command everything."

"I am in the Demon Realm, awaiting your triumphant return."

As soon as he finished speaking, the imposing figure on the throne suddenly transformed into a streak of black light and vanished.

As soon as Diablo left, the oppressive atmosphere in the hall was instantly ignited.

The demons could no longer restrain themselves, and like sharks smelling blood, they surged wildly towards the area beneath the giant face of the Heavenly Demon Lord.

"My Lord Demon Lord, I am willing to be your vanguard and follow your lead. Please grant me a spot to invade the new dimension!"

"My Lord Demon Lord, my race has hundreds of millions of demon bats, the perfect cannon fodder. Please grant me a chance!"

"..."

A chaotic mix of fawning, loyalty-proclaiming, and power-showing chants mingled together.

All the demon cities racked their brains, trying to sell themselves and their backers to this celestial demon lord who was about to wield great power.

[070] Piercing Cone! Succubus Purple Beauty!

The other three demon lords stood silently, coldly observing this farcical surrender ceremony.

They did not prevent the demons under their command from defecting.

Prevent?

In the demon realm, this is the most foolish thing to do.

The essence of evil is selfishness, cold-bloodedness, and ruthlessness.

For the sake of power and resources, any alliance, any loyalty, can be torn apart in an instant.

Forcibly stopping it will only backfire and may even cause trouble for yourself.

"Ha ha……"

The Demon Lord of Purgatory let out a series of melodious, bell-like laughs, yet with a chilling edge.

She swayed her serpentine waist, glanced at the Heavenly Demon Lord surrounded by demons, then looked at the other two demon lords, her red lips slightly parted:

"Gentlemen, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

With that, her purple demonic wings flapped suddenly, and she vanished as a strange purple streak of light.

The other two demon lords remained silent, each transforming into a streak of black light and following closely behind as they left the noisy hall.

The enormous face of the Heavenly Demon Lord looked down at the horde of demons who were frantically surrounding him below.

He glanced again in the direction where the three demon lords had disappeared, and a barely perceptible hint of mockery appeared on his distorted face.

"Hmph, three old foxes..."

"They may not say it, but they're definitely up to something bad, probably wanting a piece of the pie."

He dared to be so high-profile, even at the cost of exposing information about the new timeline, naturally because he had the confidence to do so.

He had already made thorough preparations.

A plan that would allow him to bypass the three demon lords and take the biggest slice of the pie for himself.

Moreover, that dimension is not to be trifled with; even if a demon were to sneak in, it would be killed by Demon-Slaying Island.

He hadn't even told the Demon Lord about the information regarding Demon-Slaying Island.

This information asymmetry is enough to ruin many people with ulterior motives.

"Once the Black Dragon opens the Chaotic Demon Treasury, I will personally lead my army to flatten this newly discovered spacetime."

"Everything will be mine!"

The consciousness of the Heavenly Demon Lord roared silently, filled with anticipation and cruelty.

Outside the palace.

The purple streak of light that the Demon Lord of Purgatory transformed into pierced the gloomy sky of the Demon Realm.

The languidness I felt in the palace just now had completely vanished.

Instead, there is a profound calmness.

It wasn't that she didn't care about the new timeline discovered by the Heavenly Demon Lord.

Quite the opposite.

Because she cares so much about the vast resources and opportunities that the unknown space and time may contain, she needs to plan with the clearest mind.

After flying for a moment, she landed in front of an exquisite pavilion standing atop a rugged, magical rock.

The entire attic is constructed from a peculiar crystal with a faint purple luster.

This stands out starkly from the desolate and violent surroundings, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

As soon as I stepped into the attic, a graceful figure in purple came to greet me like a swallow returning to its nest.

"Mother, you're back!"

Her voice was clear and melodious, carrying the unique vitality of a young girl.

The newcomer was none other than Zi Yan, the daughter of the Demon Lord of Purgatory.

She possessed a striking beauty that bore an eight-tenths resemblance to her mother, with delicate, picturesque features, snow-white skin, and a graceful, shapely figure.

It has two horns on its head, two wings on its back, and a tail that sways freely behind it.

However, compared to the Demon Lord of Purgatory's deep-rooted mature allure, she possessed a captivating charm.

At around seventeen or eighteen years old, Zi Yan possessed an even more innocent and lively charm, like a violet quietly blooming in the demon realm.

"Well, I'm back."

The Demon Lord of Purgatory nodded slightly, a tenderness on his face that he only showed when facing his daughter.

"Lord Demon Lord, have you summoned all the demons because there is something important to discuss?"

Zi Yan blinked her beautiful eyes curiously and asked.

With her true abilities, she is fully qualified to participate in palace councils.

But over the years, the Demon Lord of Purgatory has always made her deliberately hide her talents.

He disguised himself as a mediocre person in front of the demons, someone who only relied on his mother's protection, and that's how he avoided being invited.

The Demon Lord of Purgatory did not hide anything and said directly:

"The Demon Lord from Beyond the Heavens has discovered a completely new spacetime coordinate."

"A new timeline?"

Zi Yan's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and her face showed undisguised interest and excitement.

"Really? Doesn't that mean..."

Her words came to an abrupt halt as an indescribable, domineering, and terrifying aura suddenly enveloped the entire attic.

This aura was deep and cold, carrying an overwhelming pressure.

Upon seeing this, the mother and daughter's expressions changed drastically, as if their hearts were being squeezed by an invisible hand.

Before you even have time to think, your body has already reacted instinctively.

They bowed simultaneously, facing the entrance to the attic, their hands clasped in utmost respect, their heads bowed deeply.

"Welcome, Demon Lord!"

The light at the entrance seemed to be swallowed and distorted, and a blurry yet majestic shadowy outline quietly appeared.

The newcomer was none other than Diablo, the Demon Lord!

His invisible gaze swept over the respectfully bowing mother and daughter, and a thought resonated directly in the depths of their souls, indifferent and devoid of any emotion.

"No gift."

As this thought was uttered, the suffocating pressure subsided slightly.

The mother and daughter then dared to straighten up slightly, but still maintained a respectful posture, their hearts filled with doubt and unease.

Why has the Demon Lord personally come to this place?

From within the distorted shadowy outline, a barely perceptible beam of black light shot out, striking precisely the Demon Lord of Purgatory.

The Demon Lord of Purgatory instinctively reached out and caught it.

It feels slightly heavy in the hand, with a strangely cool touch.

She looked down and saw a black awl about three inches long lying quietly in her palm.

The cone is neither metal nor wood; it is entirely black and dull, with extremely ancient and complex patterns engraved on its surface that can make one dizzy at a glance.

"This is the Void-Piercing Cone."

"Once activated by demonic energy, it can tear through space and travel a certain distance."

Diablo's voice, which directly affects the soul, rang out again, concise and cold.

After explaining the function of the awl.

The Demon Lord's will did not falter in the slightest.

Immediately afterwards, a string of information was directly sent into the consciousness of the Demon Lord of Purgatory.

These are precisely the coordinates of the new spacetime discovered by the Heavenly Demon Lord.

After all this was done, the distorted shadowy outline at the doorway faded and disappeared silently, as if it had never existed.

The terrifying pressure that had enveloped the attic vanished without a trace, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

The attic was deathly silent.

The Demon Lord of Purgatory gripped the Void-Piercing Cone tightly.

Sensing the incredibly clear new spacetime coordinates within her consciousness, her exquisite face was filled with shock and disbelief.

Zi Yan's eyes widened, and her cherry lips parted slightly.

Clearly, they hadn't yet recovered from the shock of Diablo's sudden arrival and the bestowal of such a great treasure.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, both seeing the turmoil in each other's eyes.

"Mother, the Demon Lord is..."

Zi Yan's voice trembled slightly, reflecting both awe and immense doubt.

The Demon Lord of Purgatory took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his turbulent emotions, and a wise light flashed in his purple eyes.

She looked at the Void-Piercing Cone in her hand, then glanced outside the attic, and a vague guess formed in her mind.

"He's playing a game of checks and balances, not wanting the Heavenly Demon Lord to become too powerful."

The Demon Lord of Purgatory's mature voice carried a complex sigh.

Zi Yan was also incredibly clever; she understood immediately, and her eyes brightened instantly.

"So, the Demon Lord has given us a chance!"

"This is a chance to enter that new dimension before the Heavenly Demon Lord leads his army to invade!"

She looked at the piercing cone, her eyes filled with longing.
