Di Jun entered the Demon Realm and witnessed a landscape completely different from the Primordial World. It was a black and gray canvas, filled with loneliness and desolation, and restless demonic energy permeated every corner of the world...
However, Di Jun did not come here to admire the scenery.
He quickly averted his gaze and followed the Primal Demon Lord into the Demon Palace.
The two took their seats as host and guest, and the Primordial Demon Lord ordered his men to serve the demon realm's special spiritual fruits and celestial dew.
Di Jun casually sampled a couple of things, exchanged a few polite words with the Primal Demon Lord, and then got straight to the point.
"Fellow Daoist, it's time for you to step down in this calamity as well."
Upon hearing this, the Primordial Demon Lord frowned and asked, "Is that person really that powerful?"
Di Jun nodded. As an old rival, he had to admit Hu Le's prowess.
After all, every time the two clashed, it ended with him suffering a crushing defeat, so he couldn't deny it!
The Primordial Demon Lord pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Very well, at the critical moment, Fellow Daoist Styx and I will descend to the mortal realm to lend you a hand."
The demon race and the demonic path have always had a tacit understanding.
This is also why the Xuanmen (Taoist) school and the Western school both categorize demons and monsters together.
It's absolutely true that they've always been in cahoots.
The demonic path was not involved in this calamity, but the original demon lord was well aware that if the demon race suffered a crushing defeat, the demonic path would be left to face the Xuanmen and the Western lineage alone, and it would probably be unable to withstand the pressure alone.
Therefore, when Dijun came to him, there was no need for much persuasion; he agreed as soon as the other party opened his mouth.
That's just his personality. If he's willing, he doesn't need Di Jun to persuade him; if he's not willing, no amount of persuasion from Di Jun will help.
For the sake of the future of the demonic path, he had no choice but to lend a hand to the demon race.
Furthermore, he and the Styx Ancestor have almost achieved immortality. Now that the demonic path is enjoying great fortune, even if they are defeated in the end, they will not face any life-or-death danger.
As for how many demons under his command would be lost as a result, he didn't care much. As long as the demon realm still existed and there were still living beings in the primordial world, there would be no shortage of demon cultivators...
When Di Jun saw that the Primordial Demon Lord had agreed, he was overjoyed. After thanking the Primordial Demon Lord, he took his leave and went back to prepare to send another large army to support Hou Tu and the others...
After Di Jun left, the Primordial Demon Lord poured a thought into the Blood Sea.
A moment later, a streak of blood-red light suddenly flew in from outside the Demon Realm, entered the Demon Palace in the blink of an eye, landed in front of the Primordial Demon Lord, and transformed into the Styx Ancestor.
The Primal Demon Lord rose and bowed.
The Styx Ancestor returned the greeting with a smile.
After the two were seated, the Primordial Demon Lord told the Styx Ancestor about his previous decision, hoping that he could go down to the mortal realm with him, so as to show off the power of their demonic path in front of all living beings.
The Styx Ancestor nodded slightly after hearing this and readily agreed.
The two had already discussed this matter before the great calamity, and now that the time had come, the Styx Ancestor certainly wouldn't go back on his word...
...
After Chisongzi led his army to occupy Jietian City, he rested for a few days and then continued to launch an attack on the heart of the Allied Forces Prefecture.
Finally, he led his army to conquer several passes with great difficulty, getting closer and closer to the ancestral home of the Houtu tribe, Renwang Mountain.
During the campaign, many more demonic cultivators appeared on the other side, causing the Yanhuang army to suffer considerable losses at first.
Fortunately, Chisongzi went to the Heavenly Court to invite some immortals and gods who could subdue demons to descend to the mortal world and help him, which stabilized the decline and finally enabled him to continue his advance.
As more and more members of the demonic path appeared on the side of the allied forces, it seemed that the two sides had joined forces, along with a demon race.
This is truly a gathering of demons and monsters.
Chisongzi lamented that Houtu Niangniang and others had become increasingly depraved, actually mingling with demons.
But secretly they dared not let their guard down for a moment.
That demon may not be righteous, but its strength should not be underestimated.
The demon race was one of the great races of the prehistoric era, on par with the human race, and also the biggest obstacle to the human race becoming the protagonist of the prehistoric era.
As for the demonic path, it is equally formidable, capable of rivaling the Xuanmen and Xifeng lineages, so its strength is naturally considerable.
Seeing that more and more people from the demonic path were appearing, he even went to the rear to visit Hu Le, hoping to get some advice from him.
Hu Le merely frowned slightly before telling him that this was one of the tribulations that the human race had to undergo before becoming the protagonist of the prehistoric world, a tribulation that was inevitable for them to experience before they could rise to prominence.
How could the human race simply become the protagonist just because they unified or defeated the demon race?
To become the protagonist or even achieve great success, one must endure even more hardships...
Chisongzi's face turned bitter upon hearing this. Hu Le then smiled and told him that it was ordained by Heaven that the human race would become the protagonist, and that even if the demonic path joined in, it would be useless. He told him to rest assured and lead his army to conquer the land.
If you encounter a problem, you can seek help from the Heavenly Court or even Penglai. If you still can't solve it, he will personally come down the mountain to lend a hand.
Hearing Hu Le's promise, Chi Songzi felt much more at ease.
Although he encountered many hardships along the way, with the help of the Heavenly Court and Penglai, he finally overcame them one by one.
Perhaps because of the demonic path entering the world, some Qi cultivators came to help on their own, including people from the Xuanmen sect and cultivators from the Western lineage.
It seems that for the sake of humanity, both sides have no choice but to get involved.
Even though this calamity was unrelated to them, they had no choice but to take action in order to curb the spread of demonic forces among the human race.
It was only at this moment that Chisongzi understood the meaning of "those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help."
With the help of so many forces, although he encountered many dangers along the way, he eventually overcame them one by one.
In the following years, Chisongzi led his army to conquer cities and seize territory in the heart of the allied forces, capturing strategic passes and cities, and was virtually undefeated.
After countless battles, both sides suffered heavy losses.
He has changed his soldiers countless times.
Many priests and elders perished.
If it weren't for the fact that both sides had relatively deep foundations, such a huge loss would probably have brought them to the brink of extinction long ago.
However, for the sake of the unification of the human race, this war must continue.
The demon race also suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the elite demon soldiers, many demon saints and demon gods also died.
Originally, the demon race was full of experts, with more than a hundred demon saints and tens of thousands of demon gods.
These masters were the very foundation of the demon race's dominance over heaven and earth.
But before this great calamity was over, the Demon Saint had already lost more than half of his forces, and the Demon God had lost two-thirds of his forces.
Even though the Phoenix Perch Mountain lineage secretly intervened to protect some demon saints and demon gods, the deaths of those who perished still dealt a heavy blow to the demon race...
