Causing great suffering to all the people on the continent! The Emperor takes action!
Just these few words made Gu Yuan feel horrified.
What kind of existence could be so powerful that it actually requires the intervention of an emperor? That is an emperor that is rarely seen in a thousand years, the illusory Spirit Emperor!
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's breathing became rapid.
"They are called, Domain Demons!"
The moment Blood Coffin finished speaking, Gu Yuan felt that the Golden Vulture's breathing became rapid.
"Domain Demon? What is this thing?" Gu Yuan was puzzled. Why did the Blood Coffin know about it, and the Golden Vulture seemed to know about it as well, but he had never heard of such an existence?
"A domain demon isn't a thing, but... a kind of demon from outside the domain, a life form just like humans!"
The Golden-haired Vulture took over the conversation and sighed, "I didn't expect it to be them. The Domain Demons have been banished for ten thousand years. Could it be that they are coming back?"
"What are you talking about? Can you explain it to me?" Gu Yuan said hurriedly.
"As I just said, Domain Demons are creatures from outside the Domain. They have the same vitality as humans, but their appearance is very different from humans. Domain Demons live outside the Domain, that is, outside our continent."
"Outside our continent? Is there a world outside our continent?"
Gu Yuan was shocked. He originally thought that there was only life on this continent in this world, just like the Earth in his previous life. He didn't expect that this was not the case!
"Of course, the existence of the domain demons clearly illustrates this point. But the strange thing is that up to now, humans only know of the domain demons as extraterritorial creatures. Maybe there really is no other life except humans and them." said the golden-haired vulture.
"Then what happened that they once caused great suffering to the people of the continent? Are they enemies?" Gu Yuan continued to ask. Gu Yuan obviously had a strong interest in this alien creature.
"certainly!"
Speaking of this, Golden Eagle narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Actually, very few people know about this matter now. The ones who really know about it are basically some major sects and families, especially those with long-standing traditions. They may know a little more. What I know are some obscure memories from my bloodline, which are very vague."
"Tell me quickly." Gu Yuan said.
The Golden Eagle nodded and continued, "The world where the demons live is what we call the Demon Realm. Like the continent, the Demon Realm is another world. The living environment in the Demon Realm is extremely harsh, so they desperately want to escape it. By some coincidence, the continent where the Demon Realm is located drifted and directly collided with our continent, leading to their discovery."
Back then, the continent wasn't what it is today. Spiritual energy was plentiful, and the rivers flowing through it were liquid. Spiritual trees and fruits abounded, and hundreds of races flourished. Powerful individuals like Spirit Lords and Spirit Saints were everywhere.
But since the Domain Demon came, everything has changed.
They saw the environment on the continent and discovered a new world, so they started a war because they wanted to completely occupy this world.
So they mobilized all the Domain Demon Clan to attack the continent. That battle was so fierce that countless powerful Spirit Lords and Spirit Saints fell, and the Domain Demon Clan also suffered heavy losses.
The war lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the hatred between humans and domain demons has become irreconcilable. The domain demons will obviously not give up this world, and humans will not give this world to their enemies.
So the fighting continued for several more decades, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting. At that time, the Spiritual Lords and Spiritual Saints could no longer influence the outcome of the war. The one who truly decided the outcome of the war was the Spiritual Emperor!
However, the Spiritual Emperor is not comparable to the Spiritual Saint. Even with the abundance of spiritual energy at that time, the Spiritual Emperor is still extremely rare, and I am afraid that they can be counted on one hand.
After a hundred years of fighting, both sides were truly furious and finally began the final decisive battle.
This decisive battle is known as the Battle of the Five Emperors, with three from our continent and two from the other side.
The battle of Emperor Ling destroyed heaven and earth.
The real combat power of the powerful Spirit Emperor who emerged from an environment like the Demon Realm is actually greater than that of the Spirit Emperor on our human side.
This was only possible because humans had an additional Spiritual Emperor and were able to achieve a draw.
After the war, half of the continent was destroyed by the Emperor's might. The continent we are on now is actually only a small half of the ancient continent, because the larger part was destroyed in the Emperor's war and turned to ashes!"
Gu Yuan was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He had never known such a thing before.
The battle of Emperor Ling destroyed the whole world. How terrifying was the power of Emperor Ling?
However, Gu Yuan frowned and asked doubtfully, "That's not right. Is the cultivation system in the Demon Realm the same as here? Is it possible that they were originally human?"
The golden-haired vulture looked at the blood coffin and motioned for him to speak.
After a moment of hesitation, Blood Coffin said in a hoarse voice, "This is just a comparison made by humans after comparing their approximate strength with their own cultivation systems. Their cultivation systems are definitely different from humans', and it's even more impossible for them to all be human. Besides, there's always a way to compare strength. Is that hard to understand?"
"Oh, I see. Then what I want to know is, according to what Senior Ying said, the ancient continent is so rich in spiritual energy, why is there only three Spirit Emperors in the human world? That doesn't make sense!"
"First, you need to understand how difficult it is to reach the Spiritual Emperor. Through hard work, you might be able to cultivate to the Spiritual Saint, but relying solely on hard work will never achieve the Spiritual Emperor! The difference between a Spiritual Emperor and a Spiritual Saint is a chasm! A hundred Spiritual Saints can't defeat a Spiritual Emperor! A Spiritual Emperor is the equivalent of a god, and below him, all are ants!"
Blood Coffin's chest rose and fell slightly, and it was obvious that he was also shocked by Emperor Ling's terror.
"Hiss... so scary!" Gu Yuan took a breath.
"Otherwise, why do you think the continent was broken?" said the Golden Vulture.
"Does that mean there have only been three Spiritual Emperors from ancient times to the present?" Gu Yuan asked again.
"No! There are definitely more than three. A Spiritual Emperor is practically immortal, so I suspect the reason there were only three Spiritual Emperors during the war is because..."
"Why?"
Gu Yuan and the Golden Vulture looked at the blood coffin at the same time, very curious.
The blood coffin lifted the bloated black robe on his head, revealing a pale face that was somewhat eerie. "It's because most of the Spiritual Emperors disappeared! Or left this continent."
"Why do you say that?"
The Golden Eagle was puzzled. The memories brought by his blood were very few, so it was not enough to solve the problem.
"I suspect there must be a higher path above the Emperor. I just said that Spiritual Emperors are almost immortal. If they are not dead and are still on the continent, why are there only three Spiritual Emperors during the war? This means that the Spiritual Emperors before them have disappeared. Perhaps they ascended to a higher level world, or perhaps they traveled to other realms. After all, if there is a Demon Realm, why can't there be other realms?"
