Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

After leaving the True Demon Palace, the Crimson Fire Demon Lord felt increasingly uneasy, sensing that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

As a seasoned "family hero," the Crimson Fire Demon Lord knows better than anyone what kind of people his "family members" are who can be on friendly terms with him and call him brothers.

Put yourself in his shoes: if it were him, would he easily reveal such important information to a stranger?

While the Crimson Fire Demon Lord did indeed treat everyone as "family," the nine true demons might not have considered him "family."

In the Red Fire Demon Lord's mind, any information that can be easily obtained must be hiding a deeper level of scheming.

Is it really as simple as the true demon "two" said to control one level of the Demon Abyss and possess its authority?

What exactly do the nine true demons want?

Can the Nine-Layered Abyss really continue to expand as the true demons claim?

Countless thoughts flashed through the Crimson Fire Demon Lord's mind. Having been a demon for so long, he clearly understood the intricacies of the situation.

Harboring doubts about the nine true demons, the Crimson Fire Demon Lord deliberately slowed down his pace, taking a full month to reach the battlefield between the two realms.

During this month-long period of calm, the Crimson Fire Demon Lord also figured out one thing.

Strength is alluring, but life is more precious.

His life as Venerable Crimson Fire is not only his own, but also the lives of countless family members; he must not be taken lightly.

The "new family member" had ill intentions and was unwilling to treat him as a close "family member." Instead, she plotted against him.

It's not wise to linger in the Nine Netherworld Abyss. Take this opportunity to refine the last batch of pills, and once you're done, grab the cauldron and run away!

The world is vast and full of his "family"—how could he possibly hang himself in one world?

……

Let's go back to the present.

A crimson glow obscured the starry sky, and a blood-red lotus was born from the crimson glow, bringing boundless karmic fire to the battlefield.

Under the influence of the vast demonic energy, the spatial rift solidified in an instant, and the world-destroying demon lord, surrounded by demonic flames and holding a giant cauldron, stepped out of the rift.

The Crimson Fire Demon Lord descended upon the center of the battlefield in the grandest manner.

At the same time, the moment the spatial rift opened and the Crimson Fire Demon Lord descended, a rapid alarm sounded simultaneously in the administrative hall of Luochuan City, dozens of light-years away.

"Warning! Warning! A large energy fluctuation has been detected in the northern part of the nebula, estimated to be level 11-12, which may cause large-scale damage. A level 3 warning has been activated."

"Warning! Warning! Detection indicates that the energy fluctuation has a 99.9% probability of originating from the Nine Nether Demon Abyss and a 0.1% probability of originating from an unknown demonic world."

"Ding! We have connected to the Northern Nebula Star-level Think Tank and are currently tracking the unknown energy source in real time."

"Ding! Data analysis complete. It has been confirmed that a demonic deity in the northern part of the nebula has opened a spatial passage and crossed over to the other world."

The Northern Nebula Star System Think Tank has completed its preliminary assessment, estimating that the energy level of this demonic deity is between 11.8 and 12.1.

The identity of this demonic deity has been confirmed. This demonic deity was once contained within the Light and Shadow Galaxy Research Institute, containment item number 000019, and escaped 227 years ago.

"Ding! The 47th Fleet requests withdrawal. Data backup of the fleet has been completed. The data of the 47th Fleet can be transferred to the latest starship at any time."

"Ding! Li Chen, the highest governor of the northern part of the Luochuan system, issued an order: all 128 planet-destroying cannons in the northern nebula have been activated and are now charging. They can be launched within 30 minutes."

"Ding! A message has been sent by Li Chen, the highest-ranking official in the north. The message indicates that the number 000019 has significant research value, and its value in being captured alive far exceeds that in being destroyed... The message has been forwarded to the Tiangong Council."

"The Tiangong Council has completed the approval process and authorized the arrest of number 000019."

……

In the administrative hall of Luochuan City, alarms sounded incessantly. Information from the northern part of the Nebula was transmitted through the Tiangong Star Network, and after being extracted and refined at each level, it was aggregated at the highest administrative center of Luochuan City.

The moment the Crimson Fire Demon Lord appeared, the observation station in the northern part of the Luochuan Nebula completed its detection.

A series of information, including energy level, identity information, and escape time, were confirmed immediately and presented to the ruling officials by Tiangong Think Tank.

There were no endless meetings or complicated discussions.

After confirming the news, the officials in Luochuan City issued instructions within their respective jurisdictions.

The Luochuan Second Fleet, located on the outskirts of the Star City Cluster, is ready to conduct a space jump at any time to carry out a capture mission.

The major fleets located in the northern part of the Luochuan Nebula also received orders to take off from their respective bases and proceed to their designated blockade locations.

The 47th Fleet of the Luochuan Star System, located at the forefront of the battlefield, was taken over by the Tiangong Think Tank, which planned to leave the Crimson Fire Demon Lord on the battlefield at the cost of the entire fleet.

Centered on the battlefield between the two realms, a massive, all-encompassing net specifically targeting the Crimson Fire Demon Lord is rapidly being deployed.

……

What is a demon?

If you were facing a top researcher from the Celestial Craftsmanship Realm, he would tell you that there is no difference between demons and immortals; both are high-level life forms with powerful energy, and are simply forms of life.

Aside from the significant differences in the form of energy expression, the two are not much different; both are powerful life forms born under the immortal civilization.

If the person answering you is a righteous cultivator from a celestial civilization, he will give you a completely different answer.

Bloodthirsty, cruel, vicious, insane, utterly wicked, and utterly inhuman...

All the filthiest words in the world can be used to describe the devil; all the evil in the world is the work of the devil.

These are two completely different answers, each with its own logic; neither can be said to be right nor wrong.

However, in the current situation, when the target is a demon from the Nine Netherworld Abyss, the evaluation of righteous cultivators is obviously more objective.

For such a group of monstrous figures, facing death calmly is absolutely the least likely thing to happen.

The order from the newly ascended True Demon Lord, Crimson Fire Demon Lord, had no effect whatsoever; instead, it aroused widespread anger among the demon army.

In the world of demons, only the mighty are the only truth.

It's perfectly normal for subordinates to overthrow their superiors.

Led by twelve great demons, they roared at the Crimson Fire Demon Lord in unison, unleashing their various supernatural powers without hesitation.

Having anticipated all of this, the Crimson Fire Demon Lord remained completely calm and activated the hidden trump card within the sea of ​​blood.

As prudent as the Crimson Fire Demon Lord was, he had already anticipated the current situation and had prepared a backup plan before the demon army set off.

With a wave of his hand, the Crimson Fire Demon Lord sent crimson lotuses rising from the sea of ​​blood, shattering the demon army's defenses from within the great formation.

The crimson lotus was as vivid as blood, surrounded by scarlet flames. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky above the sea of ​​blood was covered by karmic fire.

Hundreds of thousands of demons fell into the sea of ​​fire. The weaker demons struggled desperately, but could only watch helplessly as the raging flames burned their bodies to ashes, their demonic energy turning into tempting pills.

Some powerful demons realized the situation was dire and scattered into the depths of the starry sky at the first moment, but they were grabbed by blood hands that reached out from the sea of ​​blood the instant they took off and were instantly refined under the scorching heat of the demonic flames.

The sight enraged the twelve great demons, who felt their dignity as demons had been challenged. They immediately unleashed all their power to attack the Crimson Fire Demon Lord.

He's just an outsider, and his aura is far less powerful than that of the nine rulers, yet he dares to call himself a true demon! And he's even issuing orders to them here, trying to take their lives.
