A major battle was imminent.
"Hey!" Ruan Xiyan's gentle voice reached Huan Yu's ears, "The God Realm is going to bully others again."
Ruan Xiyan took a step forward, and an undeniable pressure enveloped everyone present, causing them to stop moving.
Ruan Xiyan looked up at the universe, "So blatantly plotting your own schemes, as if I don't exist?"
"Demon Ancestor, this is a matter between my God Realm and the Demon Race. Does the Demon Realm intend to interfere?" Huan Yu said sternly.
"I quelled the crisis here. Your divine realm arrived just in time, only belatedly after things had already calmed down," Ruan Xiyan said sarcastically. "And now you have the nerve to question my intervention."
"The demon race killed our God Realm's Half-God King, and our God Realm cannot let this grudge go unavenged."
"I have also killed your God King of the God Realm. Why don't you come to seek revenge? Or is it that the mighty Universal God of the God Realm only dares to pick on the weak?"
"Moreover, Du Ban was killed by Lan Zhou. Lan Zhou is dead, and the grudges have been settled. It would be unreasonable to involve innocent people of the demon race."
"The Demon Ancestor is going to side with the demon race." Huan Yu's voice was icy.
"Why wouldn't I cause trouble for your divine realm? As for the demon race, I'll protect them today! With me here, try touching one of them." Ruan Xiyan's nonchalant tone carried an undeniable sense of oppression.
“Miss Ruan, you…” Lan Wang looked at Ruan Xiyan, who was blocking his way, with mixed feelings. He hadn’t expected that Miss Ruan would stand with the demon race at this time.
Jun Yu and Ruan Xiyan stood hand in hand, gazing directly at the world.
"Huanyu, do you think you are my match? Or do you want all the forces present to witness your utter defeat?"
Huanyu gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke. "Let's go."
That despicable progenitor of the demon realm! He's ruined his plans again. After this incident, the demon race will probably stand against the divine realm forever, and might even become closer to the demon realm.
But it doesn't matter. As long as His Majesty the Heavenly Dao emerges from seclusion, whether it's the Demon Realm or the Monster Race, they will all have to submit to the Divine Realm.
Seeing that the people from the divine realm had left, the other forces also slunk away.
Did they make the wrong choice just now? It was clearly the Demon Ancestor who stopped Lan Zhou. They thought the Demon Realm and the Demon Race were enemies and didn't have a good relationship.
However, she also helped the demon race intimidate the divine realm, saving the demon race from a disaster.
The true side of the Demon Realm remains a mystery, as the thoughts of its progenitor are truly unfathomable.
Seeing that all forces had left the demon race, Lan Wang felt a little relieved.
He looked at Ruan Xiyan and sincerely thanked her, "Miss Ruan, thank you very much."
"No need to thank me. You helped me when I came to the demon clan to get the Xuanzhi sprout last time. I said I owed you a favor. Today, I'm protecting your demon clan as a way of repaying that favor."
"Where the demon race will go from here depends on your own efforts," Ruan Xiyan replied.
“No matter the reason, Miss Ruan helped my demon race get out of the crisis. I will remember this great kindness.” Lan Wang said solemnly, “If Miss Ruan has nothing else to do, you can stay and attend my Demon Emperor succession ceremony.”
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't linger here any longer. The divine beast dragon bloodline within you has now been awakened. Make good use of it. Divine beasts have powerful bodies, and they may well be able to defeat Huanyu in the future."
Ruan Xiyan gave a brief instruction, "Also, you must protect the boundary marker of your demon race. If there is any abnormality with the boundary marker, you can come to the Demon Realm to find me."
“I’ve written it all down,” Lan Wang nodded.
He previously only knew that there were very important things in the forbidden area, and his elder brother always forbade him to step into it. But after this incident, he realized how terrifying the turbid air in the boundary markers of the forbidden area was.
Once the turbid energy erupts, the demon race will surely suffer devastation, so he must protect the demon race's boundary marker no matter what.
Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu left the demon race and returned to the demon realm.
The Demon Realm.
Ruan Xiyan and the others went directly to Gu Fengqing's residence.
"Master, how is it?"
Gu Fengqing spoke up, "We're just one step away from finding out where the Heavenly Dao is."
The outline of the formation had already been laid out on the ground. Gu Fengqing sat cross-legged on the formation, his hands crossed in front of his chest, his ten fingers turning, and a totem resembling a third eye appeared.
The Heavenly Eye totem merged with the ground formation, and the entire formation transformed into a giant Heavenly Eye.
Gu Fengqing dripped a drop of his blood into the Heavenly Eye, and the tightly closed Heavenly Eye slowly opened.
A white light emanated from the eye of the sky, eventually converging into an image in the air, which appeared for a fleeting moment before disappearing.
At the same time, a muffled groan came from Gu Fengqing's mouth.
"Master." Ruan Xiyan stepped forward with concern, helped him up, and seeing his pale face, she quickly took out some recovery pills and handed them to him.
"This is a backlash?! Master, how are you? Peeking into the heavens has backfired on you. Why didn't you say so sooner?"
After taking the pill, Gu Fengqing's expression softened. "It's nothing, I'm fine. As long as I can help Yan'er, that's all that matters."
"Now we know that the Heavenly Dao resides in a realm above the Nine Provinces Continent, the Cloud Beyond Heaven. It is isolated from the world, and the energy flowing within it is extraordinary. Only the Heavenly Dao can reside there."
"If you want to get to the Cloud Beyond Heaven, I have calculated that you need to go to the Ruins of Desolation, which is the only entrance to the Cloud Beyond Heaven."
"The Ruins of Jue? I've never heard of such a place on the Nine Provinces Continent." Ruan Xiyan looked puzzled.
"The Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons is the Ruins of Desolation, and also the passage to the Outer Heavens," Gu Fengqing said.
"So it turns out that the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons can lead to the Cloud Heaven where the Heavenly Dao resides. No one has ever set foot in the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons. I once went to the outer perimeter of the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons, but it contained extremely strong turbid energy, making it impossible to go deep inside," Ruan Xiyan said in a deep voice.
“There is turbid air in the outer perimeter of the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons, which is comparable to the boundary markers guarded by the three races of gods, demons and monsters. I suspect that there is a boundary marker deep in the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons, and the turbid air sealed by that boundary marker is far greater than that of the other boundary markers.”
"Logically speaking, the turbid air should be sealed within the earth's veins by the boundary markers. Why can the turbid air in the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons drift outside the boundary markers? If the turbid air had broken through the boundary markers, it should have swept across the continent long ago."
"But the turbid air in the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons has not dissipated. It seems to be blocked by something. Perhaps the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons holds a secret about the turbid air."
"In that case, the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons is far too dangerous." Gu Fengqing looked at Ruan Xiyan, "Yan'er, are you really sure you want to go?"
Ruan Xiyan nodded, "I want to go to the Cloud Beyond Heaven, and I also want to see the turbid energy in the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons."
Junyu and Ruan Xiyan held hands. "No matter when or where, I will always be by Ayan's side."
