Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 965 The War Between Gods and Demons
The instant the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord agreed, a monstrous heatwave suddenly erupted from the depths of the Myriad Flames Heavenly Palace—not the warmth of ordinary spiritual fire, but a terrifyingly high temperature capable of distorting the void and melting metal and stone!
Immediately afterwards, countless streams of crimson-gold true fire erupted from the cracks, beams, pillars, and even beneath the floor tiles of the celestial palace. Each flame carried the power to incinerate the entire world, and a faint black smoke swirled around it, the traces left by the burning of the void.

These true flames did not spread in all directions, but rather, as if they possessed sentience, they rapidly spread along the causal thread connecting the human world in the darkness.

The flames licked at the invisible spatial barrier, emitting a sizzling sound, as if they wanted to burn through the barriers between heaven and earth and incinerate all the fog that concealed the truth—whether it was the barrier of heavenly secrets or the concealment restrictions set up by man, they were as fragile as thin paper in front of this true fire originating from the demon god.

The flames burned for a full half hour, turning the entire sky of the Great Crimson Heaven Realm into a dazzling crimson color. Even the clouds were scorched to ashes, and the earth cracked with spiderweb-like patterns. Yet, deep within the Myriad Fire Heaven Palace, it remained eerily quiet, without a single sound.

There was neither the majestic announcement of the Crimson Flame Lord's successful investigation nor any sounds of surprise or doubt at the discovery of something unusual. There was only the sizzling sound of true fire burning the void, which was particularly jarring in the deathly silence of heaven and earth.

Tianyou lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to even think of urging him on.

After a long while, the countless flames gradually died down, and a voice filled with doubt rang out: "Strange, very strange, why didn't I notice anything unusual?"

"It would take at least two gods or demons working together to evade my detection."

Upon hearing this, Tianyou was immediately horrified: "Two experts at the god-demon level have made a move?!"

Even though he was already at the Dao Lord realm, he was still terrified at this moment—had he unwittingly been drawn into a world-shaking conspiracy?
An eerie silence lasted for a moment, then a loud laugh suddenly came from the Heavenly Palace: "Interesting. It seems that some guys are planning to do something before this war between gods and demons."

"Tianyou".

"Your subordinate is here," Tianyou replied quickly.

"I'm entrusting this matter entirely to you. Make sure you find out exactly which old guys are behind this."

"Yes!" Tianyou nodded excitedly, his heart burning with fighting spirit—the battle between gods and demons!
Every countless millennia, a great war erupts between gods and demons, spanning the nine heavens and the nine demonic abysses, and even the human world cannot escape it!
"The cultivation levels of all the great figures at the God-Demon realm have long since stabilized. The only chance to advance further is to win every God-Demon War! I will definitely investigate the truth for my lord!"

"Go."

As the authoritative and indifferent voice fell, a streak of light shot out from the Heavenly Palace and landed in front of Tian You.

It was a true fire that had gathered all the fires in the world, radiating a terrifying aura!

"Imperial Flame!"

Tianyou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He quickly realized that this was not the true form of Emperor Flame, which could harm a powerhouse at the God-Demon realm, but merely a wisp of his clone, yet its power was already terrifying!
"Thank you, my lord, for bestowing this treasure!"

Tianyou bowed respectfully, then quickly left the Myriad Fire Heavenly Palace and returned to the human world.

"I will search the entire human realm and find those rats who rebel against the organization! I want to see who's really behind this!"

He was not worried that this move would provoke direct action from the true gods or demons—the vague will of Heaven in the human realm would actively reject the descent of gods and demons.

……

However, after Tianyou returned to the human world, he searched everywhere but could not find any trace of the Anti-Organization, as if they had vanished into thin air.

He occasionally heard some clues, but by the time he got there, all traces had been completely covered up, as if an invisible hand was secretly smoothing things over.

"I'm not satisfied! It must be because I'm not fast enough!"

Tianyou searched tirelessly for decades.

For powerful individuals at the Divine Lord level or above, decades are but a fleeting moment.

But Tianyou knew very well that the great war between gods and demons, which only broke out once every tens of thousands of years, was about to begin, and he had to find those people as soon as possible.

Little did he know that, besides the war between gods and demons, other earth-shattering events were quietly unfolding in the Nine Heavens, the Nine Demon Abysses, and the mortal realm.

……

Within the Nine Heavens, there is a world called the "Heaven of Karma".

At this moment, the three figures slowly opened their eyes.

One of them sensed his own and his companions' presence and sighed, "As expected, after leaving the chaotic world where the Primordial Era was located, we are no longer bound by the restrictions we once were."

“That’s natural. Leaving that chaotic world is equivalent to escaping the fate there,” the other person said. Hearing the conversation between the two, the third person chuckled: “Alright, our cultivation has almost recovered, and we each have the strength equivalent to the ninth level of this world. We can begin to make our move.”

The three exchanged a glance, then each concealed their aura and began to secretly influence the Heavenly Realm of Karma, even affecting other heavenly realms, the Demon Abyss, and certain things in the mortal realm.

cause and effect!

Destiny!

destiny!

Three similar yet different paths spread out, as if following countless threads, extending to all parts of the world!
In the depths of the celestial realm, a pair of eyes that seemed to reflect the entire realm slowly opened, a deep doubt flashing within them: "Something's not right. Something seems to have flashed by."

But no matter what methods he used, he was unable to find the problem.

……

Demon world.

A young man who had just come of age but already possessed the cultivation level of the ninth stage suddenly raised his head.

A faint thread of cause and effect descended from the sky and connected to him.

"finally come."

The boy's face showed obvious displeasure.

The next moment, a strange voice rang in his ear: "Hey, isn't this our strongest Destruction Demon God, Shen Ni? How did you turn into a little baby? Did you get the wrong way to be reincarnated?"

Upon hearing this voice, the displeasure on the boy's (Shennie's) face intensified: "Fate, aren't you afraid that my true form will attack your true form?"

"It was just a joke, don't you even have that much magnanimity?"

"Hmph!" Shen Ni sneered and did not pursue the matter further.

At the same time, he could vaguely sense that the other powerful beings from the primordial era who had smuggled themselves into this chaotic world with him had also awakened here.

……

The human realm, the northern plains.

A figure standing atop countless corpses gazed into the distance, a cold smile curving his lips.

His clothes were soaked in blood; it was Rahu!

"It's finally started! I've been waiting for so long."

As soon as he finished speaking, amidst the fearful and awe-inspiring gazes of the many tribal warriors, he kicked aside the corpse of a god beside him.

Amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood beneath his feet, there were at least ten more similar divine lord corpses!

"From this day forward, this Northern Plains Amo Grassland shall be the territory of me, Luo Hou!"

A chilling voice echoed in all directions!
The many ordinary herdsmen, as well as the gods and celestial beings who were secretly watching, were all shocked.

"Where did Rahu come from?"

"Having only recently advanced to the Divine Lord level, he can already crush other Divine Lords and even defeat Heavenly Lords!"

"This person must be hiding a great treasure, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have reached such a level in just a few decades!"

"Even if we join forces, we might not be able to keep him here. Who can kill him?"

These discussions naturally did not escape Luo Hou's notice, but he did not care at the moment.

"Let's play house with these little things for now, or better yet, continue to hide our true strength."
