In the myriad worlds, large and small, there are countless divine trees. These divine trees are regarded by the local cultivators as their clan's guardian trees or sacred objects, and now these divine trees are all glowing.
Countless beings saw the sacred tree glow and knelt down beneath it, worshipping it devoutly. Their faith transformed into countless points of light, which converged and emanated outwards.
At the same time, the demons were frantically seizing territory.
The seven primordial realms are filled with experts and countless powerful races, with even Immortal Emperors presiding over them. However, the other minor, middle, and major worlds do not possess such strength. Under the sweeping attack of the demon race, they were all utterly defeated, and tens of millions of worlds in the myriad realms fell in an instant.
Meanwhile, the seven primordial realms were also under attack from the demon race. Demon Lord Xuantian did not personally take action, but he had already gathered five great demon gods under his command. Seeing that Demon Lord Xuantian was ambitious and wanted to conquer all the heavens and myriad realms, the Immortal Emperors such as Demon Emperor Tianluo, Heavenly Origin Holy Mother, and Purple Cloud Divine Lord became anxious.
By the way, before, the Demon Emperor Tianluo, the Demon Venerable Qingyu, and that unknown Demon Immortal Emperor chased Ayao and her group into the No Return Star Domain. After losing Ayao's trail, the three of them had no intention of staying any longer and returned to the Demon Realm after paying some price.
As soon as the Demon Emperor returned, the Demon Army pressed on the border. The Demon Emperor Tianluo clashed with the White King. Because he was injured in the Wugui Star Domain and had not yet recovered, he was no match for the White King and almost perished. Fortunately, the Demon Lord Qingyu saved him.
King Bai Xiang temporarily retreated.
The demon army launched a second invasion, and the demon gods they dispatched included not only the White King, but also the Nine Netherworld Emperor and the Evil Moon Holy Mother.
Fortunately, because they were all eager to claim credit and lacked teamwork, and even sabotaged each other, the demon race was able to withstand the second major invasion by the demon race.
But the Demon Emperor Tianluo was in a terrible predicament. He regretted refusing Feng Wu's proposal for an alliance that day. Now, however, forming an alliance wouldn't be so easy. If Feng Wu found out that he had attacked her disciple and was now trying to form an alliance, she might immediately kick him while he was down.
Asking for help from the Phoenix Clan is impossible; the only option is to ask others for help.

The Demon Realm.
After being tormented by Ru Ji for dozens of days, Lu Xuening finally finished her training. She emerged from the training secret realm and headed back to her palace. Along the way, the demons she encountered greeted her with great respect.
Lu Xuening straightened her back involuntarily. Although she was now only a True Demon, she was still a descendant of the Demon Lord Xuantian. Apart from a few Demon Gods like Bai Xiangwang, Lu Xuening was extremely arrogant towards everyone else, even those whose strength surpassed hers.
"During my seclusion these past few days, has anything significant happened?" Lu Xuening asked the maid following behind her.
The maid replied, "The attack on the demon realm did not go very smoothly, and the Demon Lord is somewhat dissatisfied."
"Who is in charge of attacking the demon realm?" Lu Xuening asked.
"Lord Nine Netherworld Emperor, Lord White-faced King, Holy Mother Evil Moon," the maid replied.
Lu Xuening muttered, "What a waste."
The maids following behind her, with their heads bowed and obedient, couldn't help but think to themselves: With your meager strength, how dare you call others trash?
But having powerful backers makes all the difference; a mere demon dared to call the Demon God a piece of trash.
Lu Xuening only dared to curse here; she wouldn't have the guts to do it in front of Bai Xiangwang and the others. Of course, she was also confident that even if she did curse, those guys wouldn't dare to do anything to her—her backer was her grandmaster uncle!
"By the way, where is Grandmaster Uncle now?" Lu Xuening asked the maid.
Several maids shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.
Lu Xuening gave a soft hum, and just then she saw a figure standing by a railing ahead. It was a girl dressed in red, wearing a silver-red gauze dress with a long shawl draped over her arms. Her long black hair was adorned with gold jewelry, and her figure was graceful, like a beautiful red peony blooming in the courtyard.
Upon seeing that figure from behind, Lu Xuening stopped in her tracks.
That figure from behind... could it be...?
She hated A Yao to the core, and the moment she saw the girl in red whose back resembled Lu Xueyao, whom she loathed, she immediately walked forward. Lu Xueyao couldn't possibly be here; the girl in red exuded a demonic aura. But she didn't care; anyone who looked like Lu Xueyao, or even just whose back resembled Lu Xueyao, had to die.
"Who are you?" Lu Xuening asked angrily.
The girl in red turned around, and the moment Lu Xuening saw her true face, her eyes widened in disbelief.
This face, isn't this the face of the person she hates the most?
Lu Xueyao? What's Lu Xueyao doing here?
How could Lu Xueyao possibly be in the Demon Clan's Never-Sleeping Palace?
"Lu Xueyao? You..."
Lu Xuening was utterly shocked.
This girl in red is none other than A Yao's clone. She now has a new name, given to her by Lou Munan: "Qianxun." Qianxun originally possessed the strength of an early-stage Golden Immortal, but after being transformed into a demon, she frantically absorbed Lou Munan's cultivation, and is now a Yama (equivalent to a Celestial King).
When Qianxun saw Lu Xuening, whose blood-red eyes looked exactly like Lou Munan's, she didn't react at all. She said softly, "It's you. You're not dead!"
Lu Xuening was startled by her gaze and took a step back. At that moment, she noticed that all her maids had knelt down. They were kneeling before Lu Xueyao. Why?
"Who...who exactly are you?" Lu Xuening was sweating profusely. The person in front of her looked exactly like Lu Xueyao, but she was clearly a demon, Yama.
"I... my name is Qianxun. I used to be called Fengyao, and more than ten thousand years ago when I was in the Lu family, I was called Lu Xueyao." Qianxun's voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Hehe, hehe..."
After a long moment of astonishment, Lu Xuening burst out laughing as she looked at Qianxun: "Lu Xueyao, you've become a demon too? Hahahaha... I'm dying of laughter, hahahahahahaha..."
"Don't be rude!"
Ruji's voice sounded behind Lu Xuening. Lu Xuening looked back and saw Ruji appearing there with several attendants. Ruji was still dressed in a black gauze robe. She walked towards them and, when she got closer, bowed to Qianxun in red, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness Qianxun."
Lu Xuening stood there dumbfounded. What? Why did Ruji bow to Lu Xueyao?
Even Lady Ruji had never been this respectful to her? Why would a demon god bow to a Yama?
“Ning’er, Princess Qianxun is the Demon Lord’s Daoist partner, you should pay your respects.” Ruji said to Lu Xuening. Ruji’s gaze moved between Lu Xuening and Qianxun. She knew Qianxun’s background and also knew that Qianxun had a bad temper. If Lu Xuening angered her, there would be a good show to watch.
Grandmaster Uncle's Daoist partner?
Are you kidding me?!
Lu Xueyao became her grandmaster's Daoist partner?! No, that's impossible!
Lu Xuening's eyes widened.
