The world has lost a male cultivator devoted to the Dao, and gained a wicked and arrogant demon lord.
Jin Yu's original immortal techniques were not top-notch; in fact, they were mediocre.
However, he made rapid progress in cultivating demonic arts, as the saying goes, "the higher the righteous path, the greater the demonic path."
The demon still uses shortcuts to cultivate, and it is because its magic is so evil that it causes unrest in the immortal realm and turmoil in the human realm.
Of course, if a demon doesn't dedicate themselves to cultivation and take an unorthodox path, becoming disliked by both the immortal and human realms and unable to continue hiding in the mortal world, they can only flee to the demon realm.
Some demons are man-eating, which gives the celestial realm a reason to represent justice and eliminate demons.
Jin Yu killed the person who damaged her master's soul root, committing the great taboo of killing, which naturally earned her contempt from the immortal realm.
After his master fell into reincarnation, he had already seen through all the hypocrisy and falsehood in the immortal realm.
What does it matter if one is an immortal or a demon? One suppresses their desires, while the other reveals them. One claims not to kill but can easily drag people's fates down from the clouds to the mud, while the other kills but never suppresses their own thoughts.
In Su Chen's view, one was a hypocrite and the other a villain, both equally bad, and a fight between the two was inevitable.
However, this time the celestial realm's extermination of demons was indiscriminate; regardless of whether a demon had killed anyone, they simply killed and annihilated them.
The god sat atop a cloud, watching the immortals commit the massacre, a smile playing on his lips.
Su Chen was stunned. Could this... be true justice?
The demons sensed something was wrong, and some of them used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or escaping technique), but the demons couldn't contain their overwhelming rage and insisted on staying on the battlefield to fight to the death.
The first to turn the tide was... Jin Yu, who was covered in black feathers.
How did it turn into Black Feather? Su Chen didn't know, but even from an outsider's perspective, she could still feel his anger.
Anger surged in his eyes, veins throbbed on his forehead, and with a claw-like grip in mid-air, countless black feathers swept over, obscuring the sky and the eyes of all the gods and immortals.
The spiritual energy was thus depleted, and all things withered and decayed here.
Unable to unleash their divine power, the immortals could only use their magical artifacts to fight the demons.
The gods were no longer in the clouds; their magical artifacts and beams of light struck Jin Yu directly.
Jin Yu sometimes swooped down like a hawk, and sometimes soared up like an eagle, her dazzling movements actually managing to dodge these attacks.
In the darkness, the fear of the immortals nourished the demons, thus increasing their demonic energy.
The blood and souls shed in the midst of battle also became weapons of the demon.
In an instant, there was widespread lamentation; some were preserved only in their original form, while others were reduced to ashes.
On the other hand, the immortal god, although not fatally wounded when fighting Jin Yu, did not fare well either, and even seemed to be subtly suppressed.
The immortals suffered heavy losses, and the gods had no choice but to lead the remaining immortals back to the immortal realm.
Jin Yu became famous overnight. In the Demon Realm, power is the most respected force. If one's power reaches its peak, one will be regarded as a Venerable by the Demon Lords.
Jin Yu did not want to be the Venerable One, but was elected by the demons and became the most popular person for a time.
The six realms were shaken.
In an instant, the Demon Lord, who could summon black feathers to blot out the sky, became a demonic creature feared by both humans and immortals.
However, the origins of this Demon Lord were deliberately erased by the Immortal Realm.
Of course, although the generals dared not easily start another war after this battle, they still regarded Jin Yu as a major enemy and wanted to eliminate him at all times.
Only by eliminating this major threat can the mission of "eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path" be completed as scheduled, and the gods will be able to break the prophecy of "demons causing the gods to perish".
Yes, the reason why the gods launched this war between immortals and demons was not for the so-called "acting on behalf of Heaven" or for the peace of the human world, but because of the prophecy of Wen Jiuri, the Daoist partner of Fairy Zilu and the senior uncle of Jinyu.
"The Demon Messenger is Destroyed".
In order to overturn this prophecy, God began to plan this war.
Those dead humans even had their souls sucked away and were reincarnated prematurely.
The only immortal who knew about it, Wen Jiuri, in order to keep him silent forever, led a highly skilled immortal to take advantage of his unpreparedness and smash his soul root, and even pretended to be trying to steal the medicinal herbs.
These details were only learned by observing Jin Yu's investigation.
I still remember Bai Chan once facing the eastern fairy mountain, bowing with her hands clasped in worship.
Looking back now, it all seems ironic.
How much deception did the people of the immortal realm suffer before pursuing the ultimate Dao?
Is the ultimate form of good still good? It's hard to say anymore.
The gods sitting on the clouds have no blood on their hands, for they have knives and do not need to lift a finger; they remain clean, pure, and perfect.
However, Jin Yu's transformation into a demon to kill Chou Ren for her master and senior uncle was seen as evil in their eyes.
Such double standards are disgusting.
Su Chen seemed to understand why these world villains were always able to become the biggest villains, and that the malice he harbored was once good intentions.
Because he had experienced the Dao, he came to know what the true Dao of Heaven was. Although his Dao of Heaven was somewhat wicked.
Perhaps Su Chen's character is inherently flawed, for he could understand Jin Yu's actions at this moment.
Of course, after the truce between the immortals and demons, neither side simply rested and recuperated.
Both the immortals and the demons harbored their own agendas.
The immortals wanted to destroy the demons, and the demons wanted to destroy the immortals. The two had been fighting fiercely for many years, and in one day, the conflict escalated, and once it did, it became uncontrollable.
It wasn't until a few radical immortals in the celestial realm killed several young demons on the border between the immortals and demons, and displayed their tender demonic horns on the border as a warning to the world.
The demonic energy stirred, causing the demons to go berserk. They were no longer restrained and, their eyes bloodshot, knew only how to kill. They slaughtered everyone in the celestial realm.
But the first batch of demons rushed over and were swallowed up by the barrier of the immortal city. They lay on the ground like deflated sacks, lifeless.
But then new demons rushed up.
Unsurprisingly, all the demons that rushed out that day died, and not even a trace of their souls could be found.
Upon learning this, Jin Yu naturally wanted to attack the Immortal Realm as well, but he would do so through strategy.
He wanted to start with the celestial beasts, but they were too proud to have anything to do with the demons.
Jin Yu devised many plans, and finally set her sights on Bai Chan.
Although he felt it was unfair to his former friend Bai Chan, he had no other choice, because Bai Chan was the only daughter of the Bai family's eldest son and a direct descendant of one of the gods.
Jin Yu will not harm her, but she will indeed use her.
How can we trick Bai Chan into leaving the city?
An advisor suggested, "My lord, I've heard that Fairy Bai Chan is inseparable from a little fairy named Su Chen. I've also heard that you have some connection with that little fairy. Why not take advantage of her..."
The only possible solution was to focus on Su Chen.
Su Chen and Bai Chan are inseparable, so they are naturally the best choice.
But Jin Yu hesitated.
He remembered that before he became a demon, he saw her in the barrier with a newly acquired ferocious beast mount, and she was smiling brightly...
