The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 406 Green Caterpillars in the Vegetable Garden Ascend to the Primordial World

"They're all dead."

"They're all dead."

The Immortal Realm, which once rivaled the Heavenly Demon Realm, now has no Immortal Venerables or Heavenly Venerables left. They have all suffered the decline of their lifespans and were devoured by the Heavenly Demon Commander, becoming his provisions.

Such a heinous incident has already caused widespread panic.

At this moment, in the Immortal Realm, almost all living beings have perished, leaving only six Nine Nether City Lords standing disheveled before the Heavenly Demon Commander.

They were protected by their own Netherworld authority and managed to withstand the backlash from the Heavenly Demon Commander.

However, the power of the Heavenly Demon Commander was becoming increasingly formidable. The reason they were able to withstand this attack was that the Heavenly Demon Commander's mind was entirely focused on those Celestial Venerables and Immortal Venerables of the Immortal Realm. It was extremely difficult to devour their power and balance and refine this power.

Under normal circumstances, the power of another person is poison to another cultivator, unless they are cultivating the same method or a similar path; otherwise, it is a potent poison.

Even if it is eventually devoured, it will be digested slowly, which would take thousands or tens of thousands of years.

But the Heavenly Demon General withstood it and digested it in a very short moment.

It cannot be said that it was digested in that instant. It should be that the Heavenly Demon Commander had planned this from the day he issued the curse, and he had already begun to assimilate these alien forces.

He succeeded in the end.

The Demon General's already sinister body, covered in scales, became even more bizarre and evil, covered with purplish-red markings, as if branded with scars.

At the same time, his power became strange and inexplicable. He was right in front of the six Nine Nether City Lords, yet he seemed to be isolated from the world, as if he did not belong here.

Is this transcendence? Is this fiend truly approaching the realm of the Immortal Elder back then? The six Nine Nether City Lords felt a chill run down their spines.

There was also a strange sense of helplessness and... relief.

Once you transcend, you can never come back.

As you can see, after the immortal transcended, only legends remained, and miracles ceased to appear in the world.

No, that's not right. The Immortal Elder also left behind a wisp of his spirit, which now exists independently and has become the "One and Only God" in the Floating World.

But no matter what, they can't just stand by and watch this guy achieve so-called transcendence, otherwise where would they put their faces?

They ascended from the Netherworld and knew that the situation in the Immortal Realm was being broadcast live to all realms by some mysterious force. If they retreated now, many in the Netherworld would likely be dissatisfied. Although they could suppress it with their own power, the resentment of the people would have a significant impact on their governance.

Moreover, the Heavenly Demon General is the leader of the Demon Realm, and they are inherently opposed to each other.

Therefore, they must stop this beast.

We must not allow this fiend to escape, lest it fuel the arrogance of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

The six Nine Netherworld City Lords once again drew power from the Great Dao, preparing for another decisive battle against the Heavenly Demon Commander.

Among them, the Seven Emotions Yama Lord fought the hardest, after all, the Immortal Realm was his home, the place where he was born and raised, but now it had been ravaged by the Heavenly Demon General. Moreover, those Heavenly Venerables and Immortal Venerables who were devoured by the Heavenly Demon General were almost all his former colleagues.

Countless celestial officials were also devoured by the Heavenly Demon Commander.

These are all his kin. Apart from the branch he led to the Nine Netherworlds back then, no one else in the Celestial Race is still alive.

The Lord of Seven Emotions was filled with grief and vowed to kill the Heavenly Demon General to vent his hatred.

He exhaled a mouthful of his accumulated essence, which he had cultivated for many years, and then used the sacrificial method to summon the spirit of the artifact realm.

In fact, the Artifact Realm was also observing this scene. Among them, the Artifact Realm's "strategist," Kou Kou, was also anxious as he watched. This battle had actually turned out like this. The fact that this Heavenly Demon Commander could be so cunning was something that he, a mere minor figure from the prehistoric world who had lived for nearly a million years, could only look up to.

He wanted to urge the spirit of the vessel realm to join the battle, but He strictly followed the rules set by His Lord, and could not leave the vessel realm to go to another realm without being "summoned".

The spirit of the artifact realm is evolved from the many artifact spirits and rules of the artifact realm. Naturally, it will not violate its own foundation—the rules of the artifact realm. Therefore, no matter how much Koukou urges it, it cannot make it leave this realm.

Fortunately, there are still rational people in this world who know about the Spirit of the Summoning Device, an existence that can rival the current Heavenly Demon Commander.

Thank you.

The moment the spirit of the artifact was summoned to the battlefield of the immortal realm, the Seven Emotions Yama Lord heard a word of thanks, and then his connection with the spirit of the artifact vanished.

Then he saw the Heavenly Demon General tear through the other city lords' supernatural powers and come to him.

What?! The Lord of Seven Emotions was completely bewildered.

However, the spirit of the artifact had already fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Commander, transforming into a bluish-purple sword.

Is that the Purple Ying Sword? Someone recognized this rather representative magical weapon.

It was the magic weapon that Heavenly Emperor Yang relied on to make a name for himself in his early years. Later, as his cultivation improved, this sword gradually became unable to keep up with his progress and was eventually discarded by him. But unexpectedly, it reappeared here.

But what is the meaning of its appearance here? And how come it is coexisting with the spirit of the artifact realm?

"The Heavenly Emperor Yang has truly done all sorts of good deeds," the Heavenly Demon General sneered.

Upon hearing this, those who needed to understand understood.

The reason why the spirit of the artifact realm was invested in this Purple Ying Sword was due to the Heavenly Emperor Yang's calculations; perhaps he had been planning this for many years.

After all, constantly summoning the spirit of the artifact realm wasn't going to work, so he wanted to "refine" a half-step spiritual treasure of his own. He then took the Purple Ying Sword, which he had refined for hundreds of thousands of years, intending to use this magic weapon bestowed by the immortal elder as its body to contain the spirit of the artifact realm.

Unfortunately, his plan remained just a plan, while the Heavenly Demon General has now made it a reality for him.

It's a pity he can't thank the Heavenly Demon General.

The handsome face of the Seven Emotions Yama Lord was flushed red; he was furious. Even in death, the Heavenly Emperor Yang still opposed him, digging such a huge pit for him. He truly deserved to die.

Now, with the Heavenly Demon Commander wielding the Purple Ying Sword, which has transformed into a half-step spiritual treasure, none of them are his match.

As for freeing the spirit of the artifact from the Heavenly Demon General's restraints, if it were possible, it would surely have turned the tables on the Heavenly Demon General by now, instead of falling to this state.

After devouring all living beings in the Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Demon General's cultivation has reached the highest realm in all heavens—"Half-Step Golden Immortal".

Who among all the heavens today can rival him?

Perhaps only the Demon King of the Demon Realm and the "One God" of the Floating Life Realm could be involved.

Regardless of anything else, these few Nine Nether City Lords were no different from ants in his eyes.

So at this moment, they were caught between a rock and a hard place, unsure whether to continue or withdraw their already prepared magic, or whether to flee far away or fight desperately.

Moreover, even the Seven Emotions Yama Lord, who had fought the hardest just now, had stopped making a move. For them to continue fighting him was truly overestimating their own abilities.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon Commander seemed to have lost interest in them, merely glancing at them with a faint smile before leaving with the words, "You guys are really lucky."

After uttering this inexplicable remark, the Heavenly Demon General vanished without a trace, his whereabouts unknown.

The battle seemed to end rather anticlimactically.

That's not right either, the living beings of the world have already lost their last reliance—the spirits of the artifact realm.

The celestial realm is now in ruins, and sentient beings have suffered heavy losses. The main force against the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Realm is gone forever.

This is a huge blow to all living beings.

The remaining six city lords also knew that it was not a good idea for them to stay here any longer, so they left the Immortal Realm and returned to the Nine Netherworld to discuss countermeasures.

……

Many of the onlookers were completely bewildered, with only a few highly accomplished beings understanding the perilous situation facing the heavens.

Even the elders of the Upper Caveman tribe, who should have been outsiders, were now engaged in lively discussions.

"Clan leader, what did that look from the Demon General mean?"

Unable to continue their meditation, the elders quickly went to the campfire in the central hub of the flying boat and actively consulted with Patriarch Luo.

"Think back and see if you have exposed your identities," Luo Zu said leisurely.

The elders and primordial spirits pondered deeply, but they never expected to expose their identities. However, they had indeed been showing their unusual characteristics compared to the heavens below, but this was always covered up by other worlds below, and they were suspected of being "transmigrators" from other worlds.

"Chieftain, is the Heavenly Demon General going to transcend the mortal realm and ascend to the primordial world?" The deer, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

Luo Zu shook his head: "The lower realm is quite special, and it is not easy to transcend it. Ascending to the primordial world is even more difficult now."

The version hasn't been updated yet, and these bugs are already appearing so urgently; Luo Zu is quite helpless.

It can only be said that the existence of the Great Dao is too special, which is able to give birth to such a bizarre creature.

But it's not a good thing that one of the insects in the vegetable garden suddenly realized its situation and identity.

However, the fact that this insect was now trying to deliver itself to Luo Zu's mouth was something that Luo Zu hadn't expected.

……

In the Heavenly Demon Realm, all the great principles of the world will be distorted, and all matter will be corrupted and twisted. Those beings from other realms who are plundered and brought here will also be distorted as a result, not only their physical bodies but also their souls.

The Heavenly Demon Lords are the rulers of the Heavenly Demon Realm. They are born to be the masters of the Heavenly Demon Realm's Great Dao, and all living beings in the Heavenly Demon Realm can only be taken and plundered by them.

But above the Heavenly Demon Lord, there is a Heavenly Demon King. Before Him, even the Heavenly Demon Lord can only be taken from and slaughtered at His mercy.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon King had been sleeping, slumbering in the central Ten Thousand Demon Plains of the Heavenly Demon Realm. His magnificent body stood on the Ten Thousand Demon Plains, his feet firmly planted on the earth, his head above the dark sky. With each breath, countless negative spiritual energies were released, surging into every corner of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Therefore, you can see Him standing tall and majestic from any corner of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

And it is constantly growing stronger, and in doing so, it also lifts up and expands the Heavenly Demon Realm.

He is the origin of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and He is everything in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

"The Demon King!"

On this peaceful day in the Heavenly Demon Realm, a roar suddenly resounded from the Plains of Ten Thousand Demons.
