Initially, Asia's fierce offensive had caused Hongjun to feel an unprecedented threat. To counter this, he personally descended upon the Heavenly Court, took Zhang Qiming in as his personal disciple, and devoted all his energy to his personal training. Under Hongjun's meticulous guidance, Zhang Qiming achieved a breakthrough to the pinnacle of the Great Emperor realm in less than twenty years, a staggering rate of growth.

Yu Kai couldn't help but marvel, "Zhang Qiming's luck is incredible! He's breaking through so quickly!" However, his thoughts quickly turned to another question: "Is he truly the one who can avert the calamity? The ancient remnants have been enslaving the universe. How could they possibly let the prehistoric world go? Furthermore, Zhang Qiming's status within the ancient remnants is no longer what it once was. Even his brothers want him dead. Can he truly save the prehistoric world?" Yu Kai frowned, feeling that Hongjun's actions were a bit inappropriate. The faster Zhang Qiming grew, the more likely he would attract the attention of the ancient remnants. For the sake of the prehistoric world, perhaps he had to find an opportunity to eliminate him.

"Have you heard? The newcomer from the fairyland is here to look for the Demon-Suppressing Saint Queen. I heard that she is the mistress of their fairyland! That's why he rejected the invitation of the two Western saints and went to the Asian camp!" Passerby A whispered.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Buddhism also has influence in other fairy realms. Zen Master Huikai is quite powerful. I heard that he is at the peak of the emperor!" Passerby B and Passerby A talked while walking towards the city.

Yu Kai followed behind them and was stunned when he heard it: "Could it be that my father sent someone to find my mother? Did he come out of the Killing Tower?"

…

"Yes, the powerful people who appear one after another in their fairyland are not simple! The Devouring Emperor, the Demon Conch Emperor, the Demon Queen, Yu Kai... almost all of them are top figures. Now Honghuang and Asia have not figured out the details of their fairyland, and are testing to see if they can win them over to join their camp!" Passerby A continued.

"I don't know what happened to the Demon-Suppressing Saint Queen in Asia? After so many years, we don't know whether she is alive or dead. If she died in Asia, we would have the support of another fairyland, and our power would definitely increase greatly!" Passerby B looked delighted.

Yu Kai was about to strike when he heard a murderous intent. He was about to attack when he heard a passerby say, "Stop guessing! The Demon Subduing Saint Queen is not dead. She was given to the Ninth Princess. However, the Ninth Princess is in a very bad situation now because she failed to take down the Demon Subduing Pass. I heard she is also under house arrest."

"Where did you hear all this? Do you even know what's going on inside Asia?" Passerby B was a little skeptical.

"Now that both sides have reached a ceasefire, many people from Buddhism and the Chan sect have returned. This news has spread a long time ago! Even the three great demon lords and the Kunpeng Demon Master of the Wan Yao Sect have the opportunity to come back." Passerby A looked at Passerby B with disdain, as if to say that his information was too out of date.

Yu Kai was shocked again: "Even the three great demon lords are coming back. It seems that I must act in advance. If they come back, how can I bring Niuniu out!" Thinking of this, he clenched his fists.

At this moment, the two people in front suddenly stopped, took out their weapons, and looked at Yu Kai vigilantly.

"Boy, you followed us all the way, what on earth do you want to do?" Passerby A shouted loudly, and the passersby around were startled and cast curious glances at him.

"That's right, I just felt the murderous intent from you. What do you want to do? Tell the truth!" Passerby B also scolded.

"My two heroes, I am just interested in your conversation. I have never heard of these news, so I followed you all the way. As for my murderous intention, it is just because I feel that the Holy Queen of Demon Control has been defending against foreign enemies at the Demon Control Pass for many years, and she should not have met such an end. I just feel unfair!" Yu Kai explained with a bow.

"Really?" Passerby B was still a little unconvinced.

"Now you know, get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" Passerby A shook the big knife in his hand and spoke in a tough tone.

"My two heroes, do you have any news about Bai Zhiwen and Ruiying? They are in the top ten of the Tianjiao list and are at the peak of the Qianshengdu Emperor. How are they?" Yu Kai was not scared away, but continued to ask.

"How can they compare with Qiansheng? These two guys are so bold that they actually dared to take Shen Xingze to the place where Kunpeng and Lu Ya Taoist practice to steal spiritual power for practice. They were recently discovered by the Supreme Elder of Suzaku and were all captured. Now they are waiting for Kunpeng Demon Master and others to come back to convict them!" Passerby B looked disdainful.

"What?" Yu Kai was startled again, realizing that he had lost his composure, and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you two fellow Taoists for telling me. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first!" Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he disappeared on the spot.

He sped all the way to the Nine Netherworld, sending a message to Duobao at the same time: "Master Shou, the situation has changed. The three great demon lords are about to return to the Dark Abyss Demon Alliance. I have to go there first to investigate. When Senior Devouring Emperor comes out of seclusion, bring him to find me in the Nine Netherworld!"

"Damn it, why are you so impulsive? What if you run into the three great demon lords?" Duobao had barely finished speaking when Yu Kai cut him off, leaving him furious. "That bastard!"

But after calming down, he comforted himself, "This kid's strength is not bad, he should be fine." Although he said this, he was still a little worried. He looked in the direction of the Green Wandering Palace and muttered, "Emperor Shi, this kid ran away early, you better hurry. The three demon lords are coming back, don't let him run into them."

…

Yu Kai sped along the way, encountering many people on their way to the Heavenly Palace to give gifts. This shocked him at Zhang Qiming's current prestige in the prehistoric world, and he thought to himself, "Killing him won't be easy!"

After a long journey, he finally arrived at the Western Desert. The scorching yellow sand beneath his feet seemed ready to collapse at any moment, revealing the hidden entrance to the Nine Netherworld.

At the entrance, two towering black stone pillars stand tall like ancient demons. The surfaces of the stone pillars are carved with hideous monsters, which are lifelike, as if they will break free from the seal at any time and drag the world into endless darkness.

Between the stone pillars, an eerie purple light swirled like flowing liquid, like the eyes of the Netherworld, keenly sensing the presence and strength of every approacher. Beyond the light, a black mist, like a hungry ghost, seeped from the cracks in the ground, instantly turning sand and stone to dust wherever it passed. The shrill cries of evil spirits and the roars of unholy beasts echoed from the depths of the mist, as if warning any who dared to trespass: death will be the price of entering this place.

Yu Kai stepped in without hesitation. Passing through the entrance, a towering, shadowy mountain range loomed before him. Composed of black, demonic rocks emitting an eerie glow, these rocks seemed alive, silently writhing and transforming, like the struggles of countless demons trapped within. A thick, dark fog shrouded the mountain, concealing not only deadly traps but also various illusion arrays. Any practitioner who ventured within would be lost, trapped in endless hallucinations, and ultimately devoured by the members of the Demonic Alliance lurking in the shadows.
