The Sunset Demon Emperor gazed towards the southeastern edge of the starry sky, its afterimage remaining in the same spot, while its true form had already traversed hundreds of billions of kilometers of star fields.

Following the route provided by the root of the plague, it entered dozens of spatial wormholes, was teleported in turn, and was far away from the Sea of ​​Evil Souls, countless light-years away.

In deep space, there is no concept of day and night. Seventy-two hours have passed. The Sunset Demon Emperor arrived at a desolate ancient planet with life. Dense death energy lingered, and gray mist with a putrid smell was everywhere.

"call out!"

The afterimage of the Sunset Demon Emperor trembled and then disappeared into the sky. When it reappeared, it was already at the core of this ancient life star.

Soon, it saw the legendary 'Emperor's Eye of Truth'.

It was a smooth, near-perfect golden eyeball, quietly floating deep within the star's core, like an endless black hole, greedily drawing energy from the planet, causing everything to wither.

The Sunset Demon Emperor chanted ancient words, his hands forming a seal, and streams of dark demonic energy seeped from between his hands.

In an instant, the Emperor of Delusion's eyes trembled violently, as if beginning to revive, bursting forth with dazzling light.

Meanwhile, the figure of the Sunset Demon Emperor split into two, with the clone taking the risk in place of the main body to refine the symbiotic spiritual treasure of the root of the plague.

"Boom!!!"

The earth roared, the world shattered, and when the Eye of the Deceitful Emperor left the star core riddled with countless cracks, the entire ancient life-bearing star began its disintegration.

About half an hour later, a dazzling light appeared out of nowhere, the planet shattered, and two identical figures emerged from it.

The Sunset Demon Emperor successfully refined the Eye of Illusion. Although his expression remained calm, his heart was in turmoil.

It truly deserves to be called a spiritual treasure capable of rivaling innate magical artifacts.

After coming into contact with and mastering the power of the Eye of the Emperor of Illusion, the Sunset Demon Emperor's original rationality almost collapsed under that terrifying amplification. Its cultivation level still stagnated, but its combat power actually doubled.

"Boom!"

Without lingering, the Sunset Demon Emperor turned and flew towards the higher void, disappearing in an instant.

The root of the epidemic lies in the natural wormholes found near the three ancient life-bearing planets that contain symbiotic spiritual treasures. These wormholes can greatly shorten the journey, essentially forming a closed-loop ancient star road.

Several hours later, the Sunset Demon Emperor arrived at a new ancient star with life. Unlike the previous lifeless star, this ancient star was a pale green, like jade, with spiritual energy so rich that it was everywhere. It was inhabited by a large number of living beings and races.

"call out!"

The Sunset Demon Emperor traversed layers of space in one step, arriving at the coordinates where the 'Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner' was stored. Following the same method, he opened the sealing formation and saw the legendary world-destroying weapon.

The Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner is an ancient banner. The carved mountains are bone mountains, and the inlaid rivers are blood rivers. This artifact is three zhang tall and dark red all over. Countless pathogens in the form of demons and monsters are branded between the bone mountains and the blood rivers.

Before the Sunset Demon King even got close, it could smell a putrid, bloodthirsty odor that seeped straight into its soul. Even when it kept a certain distance, its skin couldn't help but tense up, and a sense of threat was faintly visible.

"Buzz!"

The avatar of the Sunset Demon Emperor stepped forward, his right hand suddenly grasping the main pole of the Myriad Poison Banner. In an instant, it was refined, and the rolling darkness seemed to be free of restraint, overflowing like a tidal wave.

"With this artifact, how can we not overpower the human race?"

The avatar of the Sunset Demon Emperor murmured in a daze, only now realizing how terrifying a primordial magic weapon truly was.

"Boom!!"

Immediately afterwards, it waved its flagpole and gently shoved it into the ground. Countless plagues roared and spread for thousands of miles in an instant, beginning to pollute this ancient planet of life.

"Boom!!!"

In just a few seconds, the surface of the earth underwent a strange change. Countless living beings were infected by massive amounts of disease and began to mutate abnormally. Their souls scattered in an instant, and their bodies decayed and rotted.

The emerald-colored planet transformed into a dark brown planet in less than ten breaths, and the entire world was infected and corroded.

"Boom!!!"

A terrifying light exploded in the depths of space, and that ancient life-bearing star perished, disappearing completely from the annals of history.

The Sunset Demon Emperor emerged from the flames expressionlessly, with endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind him, as well as countless vengeful spirits filling the sky. He paid no attention to them, and with a wave of his hand once more, a terrifying storm sweeping across the starry sky swept in, causing everything to vanish into thin air!

"Young generation, the time for reckoning has come..."

An ancient and deep voice emanated from within the Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner, clearly the mark left behind by the Root Plague before its death.

It possesses a certain degree of intelligence, and knowing the cause and effect, it now acts as a spirit, assisting the Sunset Demon Emperor in wielding the power of the Myriad Poison Banner at will.

"What you say is absolutely right, let's go."

The Sunset Demon Emperor smiled slightly. It lacked nothing now. The Eye of the Breaking Illusion hung high above its head, like an embellishment to an imperial crown, and the Banner of Ten Thousand Poisons of Mountains and Rivers was held in its left hand.

In this state, it is unprecedentedly powerful. Not to mention the descendants of those powerful figures who besieged and killed the source of the plague back then, even if they, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Cause, the Void Sect Master, and countless old human ghosts attacked together, it would not be afraid of them at all.

"Boom!"

The Sunset Demon Emperor's lips curled into a smile, his afterimage vanished, and he traversed dozens of wormholes, successfully returning to the world where the Sunset Royal Court was located.

"Wow!"

The Mountain and River Poison Banner reacted immediately, emitting a blood-red light that condensed into a lifelike phantom. It was a handsome middle-aged man wearing a light blue Taoist robe, with twelve crescent-shaped jade wheels hanging on his back.

"........."

The Sunset Demon Emperor glanced at the illusion and immediately recognized the person as a Supreme Dao Lord from the True Cultivation Pavilion.

“Found it. There are still descendants of this lineage living on the border between your demon court and the human race’s power. Let’s go.”

The voice within the Myriad Poison Banner urged them on. It was the will of the root plague, possessing all its emotions and memories, and naturally, it hated the powerful descendants who sealed it with a vengeance.

"Alright, let's test our mettle today and see who can stop me."

As the Sunset Demon Emperor descended, the world shifted. He appeared on the border between the demon and human races, where a massive ancient city stood not far away, where the successor of the True Cultivation lineage was hidden.

"Boom!"

Dark clouds pressed down for thousands of miles, and blood-red lightning tore through the sky. Under the Demon Emperor's oppressive power, the colossal city, covering millions of acres, was no different from a wooden boat adrift on a raging sea.

"Kakakaka!!!"

The golden spatial barrier instantly sealed off thousands of miles, cutting off all possibility of escape.

"It's a transformed great demon?!"

"Wait, no, that's...!"

"Your Majesty, the Demon King! Quickly inform His Majesty and the Imperial Advisor!!"

"Damn it, the magic artifact has failed!"

Chaos erupted within the giant city. Many of the city's guardian cultivators stared at the figure in the distance, their faces turning deathly pale with fear.

The Demon Emperor has arrived in person!

"I will only say one thing: the descendants of the True Cultivation Pavilion, if you do not want the entire city's people to perish with you, then come out on your own."

"I'll only give you three breaths."

The Sunset Demon Emperor looked down at the giant city below and slowly spoke. His voice resounded through the heavens and earth, penetrating every corner, and all the citizens could hear it clearly.

"Demon race, you have crossed the border without authorization. Are you trying to start a war?!"

The city lord who was defending the city stepped forward in the time of crisis.

He was tall and robust, wielding a heavy hammer crackling with lightning and fire. His blood energy erupted like a volcano, and his eyes glared at the Demon Emperor, questioning its motives. His cultivation was comparable to that of an ordinary Immortal Dao Lord.

"three......"

However, the Sunset Demon Emperor ignored him completely, not caring at all, and simply uttered the countdown that sent countless citizens into despair.

"......"

As the city lord's anger surged, he was about to challenge the Demon Emperor when more than ten dazzling starlight beams shot out from the giant city behind him, revealing one powerful figure after another that the city lord had never seen before.

There are 14 people in total.

Four Immortal Abode Dao Lords and two Jade Realm Dao Lords were all elderly men in their twilight years. The remaining eight were their successors or descendants, all of whom were under the Immortal Abode.

"you....?!"

The city lord, a warrior, stared at them in astonishment, never expecting that his city was home to such terrifyingly powerful figures.

The 14 members of the True Cultivation lineage all showed despair when they saw the golden eye above the Sunset Demon Emperor's head and the Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner in its hand.

Ultimately, it was the elder with the strongest cultivation and seniority who took the initiative to speak with the Sunset Demon Emperor.

"If you want to take our lives, then take them. But don't harm a single civilian; they have nothing to do with this grudge."

"I will never touch them."

The Sunset Demon Emperor smiled faintly, "Should I send you on your way, or should you commit suicide? Let me give you a piece of advice: suicide is the best outcome for you."

"There is no reason to offer one's neck for execution. Even if it's like a moth flying into a flame, one should still give it a try."

"A battle beyond the boundary?" The elder from the True Cultivator lineage extended an invitation to the Sunset Demon Emperor.

"it is good."

With a loud "BOOM!!", the sealed golden barrier shattered instantly, and the two sides headed to a more desolate area to fight.

Awe-inspiring starlight descended from the boundless sky, unleashing unimaginable power.

The disciples and elders of the True Cultivation lineage all burned their lifespans to forcibly enhance their own condition by a large margin. In particular, the two peerless Dao Lords, after activating the secret technique blessed by the stars, one broke through to the Heavenly Heart Realm and the other reached the half-step Heavenly Heart Realm. Furthermore, a broken whisk appeared in the world.

"Boom!!!"

The powerful cultivators of the True Cultivation lineage roared their battle cries throughout the heavens. Using numerous star shadow clones to disrupt their positions, they unleashed their strongest attacks in blind spots, attempting to bypass the forbidden zone of the Emperor's Eye of Illusion and thus injure the Sunset Demon Emperor.

"........"

"So this is prehistoric human magic? That's interesting."

The Sunset Demon Emperor did not activate its two spiritual treasures, but simply allowed those supernatural powers to bombard it. Even when the broken innate magic weapon unleashed starlight, it did not dodge, but instead met it head-on.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

Explosions occurred one after another, and countless spells and supernatural powers could not shake the Sunset Demon Emperor, nor could they even leave a noticeable bloodstain on its body.

Perhaps having had enough fun, the Sunset Demon Emperor reached out and unleashed a palm print that covered the sky, instantly severely injuring 14 members of the True Cultivator lineage, while the younger generation of disciples exploded and died.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The two strongest elders, despite their injuries, tried to fight again, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The Sunset Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed a killing intent, striking out with another palm strike that caused them to cough up blood and nearly die.

"Boom!!!"

On the brink of life and death, the whisk that had been passed down through countless years in the True Cultivation Pavilion emitted a brilliant light before disintegrating and transforming into a nearly transparent figure.

The moment this supreme Dao Lord appeared in the world, the heavens and earth fell silent. His face was weathered, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions as he looked at the Sunset Demon Emperor and the two familiar Myriad Calamity Treasures, letting out a sigh of regret and resentment.

A great battle was inevitable. Without wasting words, the Sunset Demon Emperor immediately engaged the remnant soul in a fierce and chaotic battle.

Moments later, the Supreme Dao Lord vanished.

Those who witnessed this scene, the descendants of the true cultivators, were utterly heartbroken.

"Gurgle!!!"

Without even a moment to mourn, the Sunset Demon Emperor activated the Myriad Poison Banner, infecting all six severely injured elders.

They underwent a horrifying mutation, their bodies rotting and devoid of any intelligence. They transformed into terrifying streaks of gray light, attacking the giant city, storming into it, and unleashing a catastrophe.

"Boom!"

After the successor of the True Cultivation lineage perished, the remaining eight reclusive ancient cultivators scattered throughout the world immediately discovered this tragic news. Furthermore, at the border between the human and demon races, they sensed an aura that filled them with both fear and disgust.

Coincidentally, the Imperial Preceptor, Emperor Wu, and the four kings, who were far away in the capital of the imperial dynasty, all received requests for help from a border town.

"The Demon Emperor has launched a surprise attack! He has already killed several Dao Lords! The city is in chaos. We urgently request Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor, and all the monarchs to provide assistance!"

"Boom!!!"

Upon receiving the news, the Imperial Advisor rose and, together with Emperor Wu, the Four Kings, and a host of divine generals from the Imperial Dynasty, headed to the scene of the incident.

At the same moment, the sect leader of the Void Sword Sect also had an inexplicable and ominous premonition. Soon after, he received a message from the Grand Preceptor of the Great Cause, that the Sunset Demon Emperor was suspected of starting a war between the human and demon races!

"Elders, I hereby command you to immediately enter a state of war and strictly guard the sword array platforms in each state. Sword masters of the thirty-six peaks, come with me to investigate."

As soon as the words were spoken, streaks of dazzling silver light descended from the sky above the Sword Sect Holy Land, sending the sect leader, two vice sect leaders, and many elders and disciples to the site of the conflict.

"Boom!"

The sky seemed to be collapsing, and various strange phenomena appeared frequently. The six major demon clans and the two major human clans also arrived at the battlefield as quickly as possible through various means.
