Upper plane.
A black-robed man reclining on a large chaise lounge looked at the dissipated demonic energy and the unrecognizable soul left behind by the nine-headed worm, and his expression grew even colder.
"He actually died? Useless thing, he could die even in a lower plane."
With a gentle flick of his sleeve, a phantom stone appeared before him.
Inside the illusion stone, it was precisely the moment when the Demon Lord was burned by Su Qing's Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Flame.
"Immortal fire? Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Fire? How could something like this appear in a lower plane, and even be contracted by a human cultivator? You're just unlucky."
As he spoke, the man in black robes put away the phantom stone, and in his hand appeared a deformed little lizard with eight tails.
"It's your turn, little guy. You'd better make me proud."
A flash of magical light, and the deformed little lizard trapped in the snail shell was thrown into a lower plane.
"How boring! I'm getting tired of playing with these little things." The man in black robes stood up, rested his chin on his hand, thought for a while, snapped his fingers, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
"How about I go and explore the lower plane? That Boundless Continent seems rather interesting."
...
Su Qing and the others had already burned the Demon Lord to death and burned the Demon Realm to the ground, but when they left the Gobi Desert, they discovered that the Wuyuan Continent was in chaos!
"Sect Leader! You've finally returned!" Upon seeing the Sect Leader and his entourage, Protector Shen Qinglai could no longer hold back his tears, which streamed down his face.
"What...what happened?"
At this moment, the Xuanling Sect had already activated its mountain-protecting defensive array. This array had been modified and reinforced time and again by the great masters of the Xuanling Sect throughout the ages, and even Gu Yueli, a Nascent Soul stage ancestor, could not break it.
This defensive array is extremely expensive in terms of spirit stones, and the Xuanling Sect would never activate it unless something major happened.
"Sect Leader! The Demon Race has invaded the Boundless Continent. They are not only enslaving mortals, but also wiping out many cultivation families and sects."
Su Qing's heart sank, and she immediately realized that Su Ruoshan had probably led the demons around the swamp to the Boundless Continent.
“Several large cultivation families have now become the strongholds of the demons,” Shen Qinglai said. “Those demons even wanted to invade our Xuanling Sect. Although we blocked them, they never gave up. In the end, they had no choice but to open the mountain-protecting formation.”
"Our Xuanling Sect organized eight teams to besiege the demons, but we still couldn't stop them."
As Shen Qinglai spoke, he took out a map and saw that the Nine Provinces, Yun Province, and even several major cultivation families and sects had been taken over by the Demon Clan.
"Even the Wuji Sect has become demons?"
The sect leader of Xuanling Sect was greatly surprised when he saw it.
"There were internal divisions within the Wuji Sect, and some cultivators left the sect. Later, the Demon Clan invaded and occupied the entire Wuji Sect! Now, the most arrogant one is the Wuji Sect leader, who has now become a member of the Demon Clan!"
"As long as the Demon Race is not destroyed, there will never be a peaceful day on the Boundless Continent again," sighed the sect leader of the Xuanling Sect.
"Sect Leader, what should we do?" Protector Jiang looked at the Sect Leader.
"Su Qing, do you have a way to deal with those demons?"
Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "Sect Leader, I will expedite the refining of some talismans that seal the immortal fire. With these talismans, all you need to do is stick them on these demons, and their demonic energy will be burned away. However, whether these people can live or die depends on their own fate."
"good!"
Su Qing carved over a hundred seals, and then got all the talisman masters from the Xuanling Sect busy with them.
All you need to do is inject spiritual power into the seal, and you can draw out a demon-slaying talisman that seals the immortal fire. The crafting of this talisman couldn't be faster!
Su Qing's seal was filled with the immortal fire of over a thousand talismans at once. After stamping a thousand talismans, Su Qing would fill it with immortal fire again to continue stamping.
The talisman masters of the Xuanling Sect were extremely busy. Half a month later, eight Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Xuanling Sect left the sect.
Su Qing, Xuan Qingye, Shui Qingchen, Qiu Feiyang, Ling Yunzhi, Xin Guangsi, Yue Lan and Wen An.
They had all fought against demonic cultivators in the Gobi Desert, so dealing with these mortals and cultivators who had just been transformed into demons was incredibly easy for them.
The sect leader of Wuji Sect originally wanted to lead the entire sect in a last-ditch resistance, but unexpectedly, a talisman appeared out of thin air behind him. He felt the demonic energy on his body begin to dissipate and then be burned by immortal fire...
These are the sources of his strength.
Didn't they say that after consuming the Demon Fruit and becoming a demon, their Wuji Sect would become the strongest sect on the Wuyuan Continent?
Their Wuji Sect is the number one sect, and he will be the most prestigious sect leader in the Wuyuan Continent.
But now, is a single talisman enough to destroy him?
No, I'm not reconciled!
The sect leader of Wuji Sect felt that he could no longer maintain his human form and eventually turned into a strange black thing.
He simply couldn't believe how he had become like this.
But he had no time to think, because at that moment a ball of Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Fire rushed towards him, burning him directly into black powder.
Not only the sect leader of Wuji Sect, but all the cultivators in Wuji Sect who turned into demons after consuming the demon fruit suffered the same fate.
In a dark corner of the Wuji Sect, there was a prison cell where Wuji Sect disciples who refused to consume the Demon Fruit were released. Only after they were released did they realize that the Wuji Sect was completely finished.
"No matter what, we are disciples of the Wuji Sect, and we must revitalize the Wuji Sect!" a cultivator shouted.
Even if it were rebuilt, the Wuji Sect could never return to its former glory. From then on, the Wuji Sect lost its former splendor and became just an ordinary sect.
Not only the Wuji Sect, but also the Wuxiao Sect, are facing a great threat.
Some cultivators were expelled from the sect by the sect leader after consuming the demonic fruit.
Although the Wuxiao Sect suffered a devastating loss, it was not as devastating as the Wuji Sect, which was almost wiped out.
This invasion by the demon race can be considered a major reshuffling of the Boundless Continent.
This battle between human cultivators and demons lasted for ten years before it gradually subsided.
Over the past decade, many cultivation families and sects have perished, while many others have risen to prominence.
Among them, the Xuanling Sect undoubtedly became the biggest winner in this reshuffle. Of the former five major sects, the Xuanling Sect is now the dominant one.
Even the sect leader of Xuanling Sect didn't expect that he, as the sect leader, would win so easily by relying on his disciples.
"Where are Su Qing and Xuan Qingye?" the Xuanling Sect leader asked Protector Jiang and Protector Bai beside him.
"Reporting to the sect leader, they have already gone to the Luoying Sect," Protector Jiang reported.
