The Ancestor of All Demons

In the Demon Path, there are several formidable factions, such as the Great Asura Sect led by the elderly Shi Pi and the Fire Spirit God Monarch.

The Stone God Palace Master and the Iron City Mountain Demon are brothers, initially both practiced the same cultivation, but later the Stone God Palace Master mastered the Blood God Scripture, while the Iron City Mountain Demon cultivated the Heavenly Secret Demon Mysterious Scripture.

The Sand God Child and Jiu Panpo are disciples in the lineage of the Iron City Mountain Demon, all cultivating this particular branch.

Ever since Deng Yin was imprisoned at the Stone Constellation Sea Floor by Master Chang Mei, the Blood God lineage vanished into obscurity, while the Heavenly Secret Demon lineage gained fame due to Jiu Panpo.

However, neither lineage was regarded by Lu Yu. The Great Wilderness Elders were inherently proud, seldom considering anyone in the world as their equal.

The Sand God Child employed the Heavenly Secret Demon Great Technique to curse Lu Yu from afar, siphoning her Essence Energy and fortune.

Lu Yu was slightly surprised, she drew with her Divine Hairpin, enclosing herself within a cyan-white beam, then lunged towards the Sand God Child, followed closely by the seven avatars of the Red Corpse God Monarch.

A cyan light figure flashed rapidly among numerous red shadows, as swift as lightning, yet silent and stealthy.

Following Ji Nan and Lu Yu, over two thousand immortals who had joined the Green Emperor Sect also flew over, while Master Xiao Yue from the Demon Palace led many blood god's sons to confront them.

The two sides clashed, with fierce duels occurring above and below, on the lake and in the palace, everywhere displaying intense battles.

The Giant Wood God Monarch, utilizing the might of the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, struck at Deng Yin and his wife from afar.

It's said that in the Immortal Realm, there are Five Elders of the Five Directions, namely Eastern Green Spirit First Elder, Nine Qi Heavenly Monarch, Southern Dan Spirit True Elder, Three Qi Heavenly Monarch, Central Mysterious Spirit Yellow Elder, One Qi Heavenly Monarch, Western Bright Spirit Emperor Elder, Seven Qi Heavenly Monarch, and Northern Five Spirit Mysterious Elder, Five Qi Heavenly Monarch, initially governing five directions, five elements, four seasons, and all things' growth etc.

The Giant Wood God Monarch transformed the Eastern Nine Qi into nine Green Spirit Divine Talismans, sealing and disturbing Deng Yin and the Stone God Princess's Primordial Spirit from afar, causing them to deviate in their refining at the critical moment.

Deng Yin and the Stone God Princess faced great difficulty, the Giant Wood God Monarch truly formidable, appearing directly amidst their Meditative State.

Within their Meditative State, both sides dueled, Deng Yin had an endless Blood Sea, while the Giant Wood God Monarch held the Eastern Nine Qi over the Blood Sea, relentlessly attacking and pressing.

Halfway through their cultivation, Deng Yin and his spouse could only defensively struggle, being pushed from the surface to the depths of the Blood Sea by the Giant Wood God Monarch.

As though Deng Yin and his wife seemed about to have their Primordial Spirit damaged, scattering the Blood Magic God, they suddenly lashed out: "Giant Wood old man, you've fallen into our trap!" Instantly they manipulated the Blood Sea to close, trapping the Giant Wood God Monarch at the sea's bottom.

In the Blood Sea, the three dueled furiously, the battle overturning the heavens and earth, with waves crashing and mountains collapsing.

The Giant Wood God Monarch fell for their ambush, subdued by the Infinite Blood Buddha, attempted several times to escape without success, truly facing imprisonment.

Finally, the Giant Wood God Monarch called forth the Nine Spirits Primordial Spirit, releasing a lion's roar that split the Blood Sea into nine trench-like gaps, shattering the Blood Buddha, allowing him to seize the chance to flee, retreating in humiliation.

This was merely a probing attack; after retreating, he immediately transmitted a message to Ji Nan and Lu Yu, urging them to bring their forces back swiftly.

Originally thinking that after Shi Feiyang failed ascension and turned to Tribulation Ash, the entire world would be his.

Unexpectedly, his first move led to defeat!

Even though he wasn't fully prepared and fell into the opponent's trap, it greatly diminished the Giant Wood God Monarch's morale.

Ji Nan was more honest, while Lu Yu felt that the Son of the Green Emperor wasn't very skilled either...

But it's natural, the Great Wilderness Elders had been neighbors with the Son of the Green Emperor on the Great Wilderness Mountain for centuries, having duelled many times, knowing each other's abilities well.

Lu Yu chose to follow the Giant Wood God Monarch, not out of reverence for him, but for the Green Emperor.

Yet now, if the Giant Wood God Monarch can't handle even a blood demon from the Lower Realm, what's the point?

The Giant Wood God Monarch had Golden Immortal cultivation, sensed Lu Yu's inner mocking smile, felt very displeased, but said nothing, as he still had cards left unplayed, this was just a miscalculation, in true battle, he was not afraid of those two malevolent blood demons.

He decided to plan meticulously, personally dispatching three avatars, descending upon Mount Emei, Mount Wudang, and Mount Kunlun, demanding they join his ranks to fight against the blood demons together.

He was of the Mysterious Sect orthodoxy, Son of the Green Emperor, now Green Emperor's proxy in the Human World, even if the major sects didn't respect him, they should respect the Green Emperor.

The three sects personally appeared with their sect leaders leading elders and disciples to welcome him.

He told the three sects that he was following his father's mandate to spread Dao in the human world: "It's just in time for the Blood Demon's chaotic times, where all beings suffer. While I wish to eradicate these demons, it is not too difficult; however, the demons are cunning and possess high mana. If I'm not careful and they escape or resist desperately, causing more disaster, it would be unfavorable for my plans. You all are the righteous path of the Mysterious Sect and all aim to ascend to the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm in the future. At this time, you should bravely take on the responsibility and join me in exterminating the Blood Demon!"

The Emei Sect was the first to agree because Deng Yin had more than once declared his intent to destroy the Dao lineage of Master Chang Mei in the mortal world and was indeed doing so. Even if they did not provoke Deng Yin, Deng Yin would still come to destroy Emei Mountain once he had the opportunity. Moreover, Li Yingqiong and others were filled with righteous anger; even without the Giant Wood God, they were already planning how to eliminate Deng Yin.

Next were the Kunlun Sect and Wudang Sect, which had always been secluded and did not participate when Emei and Wutai had their swordfight in the past, always staying away from disputes, seeking only their own freedom. But the person who came this time was different, being the Son of the Green Emperor. As long as they wanted to ascend in the future and have a standing in the heavens, they couldn't deny him this respect.

Furthermore, the chaotic era of the Red Corpse Blood Demon was destined for the future, which they had to face. Even if some of their elders could ascend immediately, the juniors left behind would still be doomed by the Blood Demon's catastrophe.

The three Immortal Sect sword sects all agreed. The Giant Wood God then used an avatar to go to the Capital to find Lin Han, intending to recruit him into his ranks.

From their perspective, Shi Feiyang had gone mad with delusions, trying to lead the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to ascend as a country. With his absence for so long and the chaos in the heavenly number, he most likely had suffered a calamity, turning himself and the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain into tribulation ash.

Therefore, he wanted to recruit Lin Han. Lin Han had already achieved Heavenly Immortal status and wielded the Nanming Leaving Fire Sword. With high Dao power and strong mana, if successfully recruited, he would surely become a powerful ally!

However, Lin Han showed no inclination toward him. In Shi Feiyang's absence, Lin Han had effectively taken the role of Deputy State Preceptor; the young emperor, officials, and commoners all sought him for matters. Yuan Yang Palaces across the world were adorned with statues of a young man holding the Flame Immortal Sword.

With the blessing of will power, his divine energy was different from before.

Lin Han, originally calm by nature, was now more composed and refined. Those with Qi Observation Skill could see five-colored immortal energy around him, and the top three flowers appeared like a seven-colored auspicious cloud.

He informed the Giant Wood God that his master had either successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm or would return soon, so joining his sect was out of the question.

The two parted on bad terms, and the Giant Wood God returned to Taishan, gathering all available resources to prepare for a life-and-death battle with Deng Yin and his forces!

Once Deng Yin and the demonic cultists were eradicated, dealing with Lin Han would be easy.

Though he valued Lin Han, there was a vast disparity in their strengths. He intended to give Lin Han another choice after eliminating the Blood Demon.

The Giant Wood God first gathered manpower and resources from the world, calling all willing Sword Immortals to a meeting at Taishan.

Of course, Deng Yin was also summoning all those from the demon and dual paths who wanted to demonize the world and carve a domain across the world to meet at the Star Constellations Sea.

Even with this, both sides had roughly equal strength, and because they were evenly matched, neither side could claim absolute victory. If they were to engage in a life-and-death struggle, the winner would likely suffer a pyrrhic victory.

The Giant Wood God hesitated and ultimately decided to rally the support of others!

Being a Fallen Immortal from the heavens, exiled to the lower realm, he could not seek help from the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm but could only turn to the Qinghua Changle World for assistance.

The Changle World harbored both mortals and saints, containing many immortals and heavenly gods who were granted the Green Emperor Talisman. According to celestial codes, those granted talismans, whether the Heaven Talisman or the Five Emperors Talisman, must abide by celestial laws and regulations and not act recklessly. However, the circumstances forced a change.

On one hand, the benefits were immense. If the Giant Wood God could rescue all beings in this realm, integrating them into the Changle World or distributing them as his own realm would be highly advantageous.

He also aspired to rule a world himself, rather than always living under someone else's rules and constantly facing demotion, preferring to be the master of a realm!

On the other hand, Deng Yin and his wife were exceedingly powerful. Moreover, he calculated that the Iron City Mountain Demon would strike at a critical moment. Without support, even if he could win, once Deng Yin's couple completed refining the Blood Buddha Scripture, they would launch a counterattack to demonize the world, ruining his years of painstaking efforts, forcing him to retreat to the Changle World in defeat to save himself.

He could not tolerate such an occurrence, so he decided to summon heavenly gods from the Changle World to annihilate Deng Yin and all his demons with a single strike. Should the Iron City Mountain Demon intervene, he too must be annihilated!

With plans set, the Giant Wood God ordered the construction of a Dharma Platform on the summit of Taishan, forming the Eastern Nine Qi Altar City. He changed his attire and chose an auspicious day to perform the rituals.

His followers were thrilled to hear he would invite Immortals from the Changle World to descend to the mortal realm.

Among these were some who had already visited the Changle World, now recalled by the Giant Wood God.

That world was indeed wonderful, comparable to heaven for mortals, but not necessarily better than the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain.

Of course, they had only visited the mortal regions of the Changle World without receiving the Green Emperor's Decree, ascending to godhood, and were now recalled by the Giant Wood God.

They eagerly anticipated witnessing the heavenly gods of the Changle World.
