You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"Are you confident?" The Void Demon Ancestor slightly frowned and asked.

"I don't know."

The Host Demon God shook his head and said, "But the Prison Demon God seems to have made a breakthrough, so the Heavenly Demon Ancestor decided to try again; only by breaking through Great Yong can we be at ease."

"Oh?" The Void Demon Ancestor mused.

After pondering for a while, he looked at the Host Demon God and asked, "Did the Heavenly Demon Ancestor not tell you when to let me return?"

The Host Demon God shook his head and said, "The Heavenly Demon Ancestor probably wants you to continue guarding the entrance to the Yanfu World, but..."

He hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Is it really King Xia Lin Yue who entered the Yanfu World? After all, he is just a Human Clan Saint who forcibly harmonized. Even with the Ultimate Path, it's unlikely he could kill the previous Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan stationed here, right?"

He only became aware during this execution of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's task—

It turns out that the entrances to the Three Great Worlds are so far apart.

It turns out the Heavenly Demon Ancestor had already sent his most trusted Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan to guard the entrance to the Yanfu World.

What he found hard to believe was—

Eight years ago, the entrance to the Yanfu World suddenly opened, and the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan who guarded this place mysteriously disappeared, most likely dead or alive.

There's no way around it; the entrance to the Three Great Worlds was completely isolated within a thousand miles, and any messages couldn't get out. Even with the Lifebound Lamp to confirm life and death, it was impossible to determine.

What baffled him the most was—

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor believed that the one who opened the Yanfu World could be that Human Clan's King Xia!

According to the plan, that King Xia should have been eliminated by the Daoist Ancestor and Nightmare Demon God eight years ago.

So how could he possibly kill such a powerful Heavenly Demon Clan Leader, second only to the Ancestor?

"That's the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's assessment."

The Void Demon Ancestor slowly shook his head and said, "The Heavenly Demon Ancestor wields the divine power of the Lord of Destiny, and though he cannot discern the inscrutable people, his intuition is quite accurate. With such a judgment, it's indeed possible."

He glanced at the Host Demon God and said, "Eight years ago, if Lin Yue forcibly harmonized and survived, he could possibly kill the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan if he fully bonded with the Divine Artifact and began refining Divine Lord Level divine power. If he truly managed that, then he must have entered the Yanfu World."

"Even forcibly harmonizing with the Ultimate Path, he shouldn't live long..."

The Host Demon God hesitantly said, "Eight years have passed; he might already have perished in the Yanfu World, scattering his soul."

"That is possible."

The Void Demon Ancestor nodded slightly, "But back then, Xiahou Shou entered the Ancient World and managed to survive death, reshaping the Divine Soul. Perhaps, King Xia could achieve that too, and as he pursued the Ultimate Path, he might garner more favor from the Master of Yanfu, acquiring more treasures?"

"This..." The Host Demon God couldn't deny it. It was indeed possible.

He couldn't help but say, "If King Xia managed to kill the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan eight years ago and has come out alive from the Yanfu World, how strong must he be now?"

"Eight years ago, he should not have been far from our Demon Ancestors in strength."

The Void Demon Ancestor slowly said, "However, unless he proves and transcends, his limit won't be high; without transcendence, he can't form the Divine Heart, even if he can refine Divine Lord Level divine power, he can only forge a Perfect Divine Body, leaving the rest to external resources."

The Host Demon God frowned.

Although at the Proving Realm level, the influence of external resources was minimal.

But this was the Yanfu World, and what if King Xia earned the Master's favor, obtaining some truly terrifying treasures?

Such as... a Lifebound Divine Artifact.

The strength of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor today is terrifying, all thanks to that Lifebound Sovereign Artifact.

"Assuming King Xia is still alive and favored by the Master of Yanfu, if the Master is willing to gift him a Lifebound Divine Artifact..."

The Void Demon Ancestor quietly said, "Should his strength peak, harmonize to perfection, refining the Perfect Divine Body with Divine Lord Level divine power, coupled with a Lifebound Divine Artifact, he might be stronger than me."

The Host Demon God found it absurd.

A mere Harmonization Saint, stronger than a Divine Son Level Demon Ancestor?

It had completely overturned his imagination.

"Of course, it's merely theoretical."

The Void Demon Ancestor smiled and said, "The Heavenly Demon Ancestor worries about King Xia's terrifying potential, thus overestimating him, but the likelihood is small."

"Solely attempting the Ultimate Path's Harmonization is already extraordinarily difficult; the Ancient Times had only a few."

"Moreover, even if King Xia actually succeeded in Harmonization, achieving perfection in just eight years is unlikely."

"Also, Divine Lord Level divine power is exceedingly rare and challenging to refine; only the Heavenly Demon Ancestor among our Demon Clan succeeded. Whether King Xia can create a Perfect Divine Body is uncertain; the difficulty is unfathomably vast."

"Even going to the extreme, assuming he indeed achieved Harmonization perfection, with a Divine Lord Level Divine Body, and added a Lifebound Divine Artifact..."

The Void Demon Ancestor glanced outside the palace at the nine pagodas, speaking calmly, "In the most absurd scenario, King Xia's strength could surpass mine, but the Heavenly Demon Ancestor has prepared the Nine Nether Locking God Tower for him, a treasured artifact brought from the Ancient World by the Prison Demon God."

The Host Demon God let out a small breath, saying, "True, King Xia has repeatedly amazed, exceeding the Demon Ancestors' expectations. It is normal for the Heavenly Demon Ancestor to overestimate him this time."

"Remember."

The Void Demon Ancestor said, "The Nine Nether Locking God Tower can completely seal ordinary divine power, but it cannot entirely seal Divine Lord Level divine power. Should it create a Divine Body, at least one or two tenths of its power can still work. Once I trigger the Nine Nether Locking God Tower, make sure not to enter the tower's range; just notify the Heavenly Demon Ancestor."

The Host Demon God nodded.

"It's necessary to prepare thoroughly."

The Void Demon Ancestor squinted and said, "If King Xia's strength truly reaches the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's highest estimate, I must utilize arrays to trap him, holding him off until the Heavenly Demon Ancestor arrives to kill him."

"Yes."

The Host Demon God nodded and said, "Rest assure, Void Demon Ancestor. I carry parts of the Communication Divine Artifact; once I leave the Yanfu World entrance area, I can send messages to the Heavenly Demon Ancestor thousands of miles away."

"No need to worry too much." The Void Demon Ancestor smiled, "There's a greater likelihood that King Xia has already died within the Yanfu World."

At that moment—

The palace began to gently tremble, accompanied by hoarse and mysterious murmurs.

"Hmm?" The Void Demon Ancestor's expression changed.

The Host Demon God immediately asked, "What happened?"

The Void Demon Ancestor stood up and solemnly said, "The entrance to the Yanfu World is opening."

"What?"

The Host Demon God's eyes also changed.

Could it really be that King Xia emerged alive?

But he knew this Supervision Temple was also a treasure granted by the Heavenly Demon Ancestor; no change eludes its surveillance.

Since it alarms, it must be true.

"Leave the Nine Nether Locking God Tower range first. If the situation's confirmed, inform the Heavenly Demon Ancestor."

The Void Demon Ancestor used Divine Thought Transmission while waving a sleeve, at once enveloping the Host Demon God with spatial waves, teleporting him out and sealing the void completely.

"Indeed he emerged alive..."

The Void Demon Ancestor stepped outside the palace, squinting while watching the Yanfu World entrance staircase below.

Simultaneously, he activated the nine surrounding Myriad Feet Pagodas.

"God-locking!"

Invisible power spread.

Next moment, the stone gate at the staircase's end trembled and slowly opened a crack, letting out mysterious aura.

A streak of light flew from the opening.

Immediately transforming into a young man in white robes, landing outside the stone gate.

"It truly is King Xia!"

The Void Demon Ancestor also instantly sensed the other's aura, slightly raising an eyebrow: "His Divine Soul hasn't shattered, has he already succeeded in Harmonization?"

Immediately, he sneered, "Ultimately, mere Harmonization; however strong, he's out to court death..."
