Fang Han also did not expect that descending to the "land of Jiuyou" this time would result in encountering so many events.
First, he discovered the gathering of figures from the five great worlds, discussing reaping benefits amid the tribulation. Then, the Wish Fruit was displayed in a bid to fight for the alliance leader position. Right after, the Heart Demon Old Man was actually lying dormant upon an expert of the Primordial Chaos Realm from the Moral Great World, suddenly striking to snatch the fruit and attempting to flee.
However, only the Heart Demon Old Man could accomplish such a thing.
This super giant among the demonic path cultivated the Great Heart Demon Technique, allowing him to arbitrarily entrust himself within the heart demons of the masses, formless and traceless, making it difficult for anyone to detect. Because no matter how powerful an existence was, they possessed both good and evil hearts. Good is a demon, and evil is also a demon; both are heart demons that can be exploited.
Even the supremely exalted "Good and Evil Pure King Buddha" of the Buddha World in legends possessed heart demons.
Because of this, the Heart Demon Old Man was the existence most skilled at sneak attacks. With a slight movement, he could parasiticize within a person's heart demon, and at an appropriate time, suddenly erupt to seize the "Wish Fruit."
That day, Fang Han seemed to know that the Heart Demon Old Man united with Immortal Venerable Linglong to deal with the Limitless Star Palace, obtaining the Limitless Sariras within the Limitless Star Palace. Now, his strength appeared to have advanced drastically.
One must know that the Limitless Sariras were condensed from the supreme will and vitality birthed within the immortal artifact, the Primordial Limitless Diagram. Every single grain had to undergo countless years of condensing. Obtaining a single grain was immensely useful for breaking through realms.
It seems this Heart Demon Old Man really did break through his realm to dare snatch food from the tiger's mouth and rob the Wish Fruit.
Otherwise, in such a grand scene, even a true Heavenly Immortal would be beaten until their body and soul were exterminated, and myriad laws broken under a siege.
However, now it seemed the Heart Demon Old Man hadn't truly secured it, as he was intercepted jointly by the people of the five great worlds.
And it was indeed so. Snatching a treasure under such circumstances was practically impossible.
The combined attack of the experts from the five great worlds, striking out tens of millions of Immortal Dao laws, was entirely sufficient to shake the origin of a great world, turning the heavens and earth upside down and sinking immense landmasses.
The Heart Demon Old Man was beaten until he revealed his true body, hovering in the air. Grabbing the Wish Fruit with one hand, his other hand continuously flicked. His withered fingers and long fingernails emitted a sound like flicking swords. Every flick of a finger caused a long fingernail to fall off and explode, turning into a cloud of pitch-black Qi. Within these clouds of Qi, his exact physical form manifested, making it impossible to tell which was real and which was fake.
"Heart Demon Form Transformation, Entrusting the Primordial Spirit."
These black clouds of Qi, along with his original self, gave a slight spin and occupied the Six Directions orientation. A hexagram array appeared beneath his feet. All six corners of the hexagram array were occupied by a Heart Demon Old Man, and every Heart Demon Old Man held a Wish Fruit in his hands. It was unknown which was the real one and which were fakes.
The Heart Demon Old Man derived heart demons, manipulating human hearts, truth intermingled with falsehood, falsehood intermingled with truth, leaving no one able to distinguish between them.
"Six Paths Primordial Demon Great Immortal Technique!"
Yan saw this scene and was shocked into a pause. "This immortal technique requires compiling thirty-six Three Thousand Great Daos together, alongside forging five incarnations, forming one body with the original self, operating the Six Directions. And connecting with the Primordial Demon in the unseen world. Swallowing heaven and earth, domineering over rivers and mountains."
"Heart Demon Old Man, you dare snatch my Wish Fruit!" Dao Wuyuan saw the old man clearly and seemed to recognize who exactly this elder was. Because the Heart Demon Old Man possessed a vast reputation among the many great worlds, his prestige spreading far and wide. The Great Heart Demon Technique was also the demonic art closest to the origin of demons in the demonic path. Moreover, the Great Heart Demon Technique was the cultivation method most likely to communicate with the legendary Primordial Demon.
He let out a loud roar. Flipping his hands like a great seal, he struck out three punches.
"Instant Divine Punch!"
These three punches exploded like primordial divine mountains descending upon the universe, like divine rivers piercing through heaven and earth, and like a divine rainbow unrolling across the sky, vast and peerless, majestic and radiant.
The Heart Demon Old Man's eyes flickered. The six shadows simultaneously struck out a palm. A shrill voice roared out from his body: "Demons walk the world, everlasting hatred."
In the void, the sounds of hundreds of millions of ghosts crying and gods howling instantly resounded, as if celestial demons and a horde of demons were descending together. On the scene, the expressions of many World King Realm and Primordial Chaos Realm experts changed because they felt their inner demons continuously making trouble. Their divine intents scattered, requiring all their spirit to suppress them, leaving them momentarily unable to spare a hand to attack.
The Heart Demon Old Man stepped upon the Six Directions, summoning the horde of demons. Ghostly sounds chirped, flying in from beyond the heavens. Surrounded by the horde of demons, he seemed like the lord of demons, surprisingly bearing a sacred aura upon his body.
"Holy Demon! He actually possesses the aura of a Holy Demon. However, it is not yet perfect. Even if it were perfect, it's just an ordinary Holy Demon, and we are more than enough to kill him!" Sheng Tiangang roared.
A Holy Demon was equivalent to a Heavenly Immortal.
Now the Heart Demon Old Man possessed the aura of a Holy Demon, meaning half a foot had stepped into the Heavenly Immortal realm. With a casual movement, he summoned hordes of demons from the void—various celestial demons, earth demons, ghost demons, yin demons, charm demons, yang demons… rolling forth. He could even shift his heart's intent, and the demon gods and devils reared within the bodies of the experts from the five great worlds were mobilized.
This technique was breathtaking. It was the demon amongst demons, the Primordial Demon intent.
"This Wish Fruit is of great use to this old man. This old man will just borrow it temporarily to condense his own divine abilities. After borrowing it, I will naturally return it to you. If you are unwilling, then offend me, the Cult Master of the Great Heart Demon Cult. From then on, when your disciples practice cultivation, I fear heart demons will sprout ceaselessly."
The Heart Demon Old Man stepped upon the horde of demons, his body orbited by hundreds of millions of demon heads. Deep within the demons, he took a step, and boundless demon heads surged over like the ocean. Like a landslide and tsunami, they actually enveloped the entire City of the Sky.
Above the City of the Sky, the faces of millions of densely clustered small golden Bodhisattvas also revealed expressions of pain, bitten by the demon heads piece by piece and unable to suppress them.
"If we let you snatch it away just like this, then where will the face of my Boundless Great World remain!" The True Immortal leader of the Boundless Great World bloomed with a light of purification from his body. It expanded out, starting as a ball of light a hundred miles in circumference, but in the blink of an eye, it grew larger and larger, possessing an imposing momentum as if the light would fill the entire universe.
Wherever this light reached, various demon heads were eliminated one after another. Even the heart demons upon some people's bodies were suppressed.
The team leaders of the five great worlds, the five Great True Immortals, each executed supreme Great Daos and launched a counterattack. An expanse of disaster appeared in the sky, and hundreds of millions of demon heads consecutively met their demise, vanishing boundlessly.
Moreover, the divine intents of the five great leaders firmly locked onto the Heart Demon Old Man. Giant hands grabbed out, and momentarily, five heaven-dominating palms shrouded the space above the Heart Demon Old Man, sealing off all time and space to prevent this demonic giant from fleeing.
Some False Immortal experts also struck out their own Immortal Dao laws. With a boom, they destroyed the myriad demons and suppressed the heart demons. Present at the scene, there were also over twenty False Immortals; they were the essence of the five great worlds, existing at an extremely high level. With so many big shots joining hands to bombard, Fang Han, suspended in the air, felt destructive powers penetrating in, nearly shaking him out of hiding to reveal his original form.
One crystal wall system after another shattered, and in the land of Jiuyou, many alternate dimensions began to fragment.
Fortunately, the alternate dimensions of the land of Jiuyou existed layer upon layer, untold in number. Hundred of billions would not be enough to describe them; they could harbor an entire starry river, providing an excellent battlefield.
However, some powerful ghosts and gods within suffered calamity. With so much power lashing out, even the strongest ghosts and gods would be directly beaten to death, and even the aftershocks would create a disaster.
The Heart Demon Old Man, facing the suppression from countless individuals, saw his five incarnations, along with his true self, abruptly battered apart, turning into countless streaks of black Qi. Even if he were twice as strong, he could not withstand so many attacks. Surrounded by the aggregated essence of the five great worlds attacking one person simultaneously, perhaps only an existence of a higher level than Heavenly Immortal could withstand it.
However, even if the Heart Demon Old Man was blown apart, he could not be eliminated. His body, divided into countless streaks of black Qi, rolled back and forth amid everyone's attacks. With every slight tumble of each streak of black Qi, it was as if a heaven and earth demonic door opened inside the body, and demon heads were continuously summoned from the black Qi.
"Everyone together, jointly suppress this demon. This demon has a multitude of transformations and entrusts via heart demons. We only need to suppress him and forge him into the artifact spirit of a Peerless Dao Tool."
"Kill! This demon doesn't know what's good for him, daring to snatch the Wish Fruit from among us. He is practically throwing his life away. Even if he were a Heavenly Immortal, all of us could beat him to death ten times."
"Great Treasury Void, Sealing Divine Cache."
"I have already sealed off this expanse of heaven and earth, creating an independent divine passage. There is no way he can escape. However, we must stop him from summoning demon heads from the void! His Great Heart Demon Technique can communicate with the legendary Extraterrestrial Demonic World and endlessly summon demon heads."
"Seal again!"
The crowd unleashed hundreds of millions of divine radiances. Rainbow lights explosively shot out, attempting to partition and suppress the black Qi formed by the Heart Demon Old Man one by one again!
"Do you all think I possess insufficient power cultivating the Great Heart Demon Technique? I will let you know what is called the supreme realm of the demonic path, the Heaven and Earth Demonic Door!"
Boom. Beneath the voice of the Heart Demon Old Man, all his scattered black Qi recombined, transforming into a massive demonic door. This demonic door stood three thousand zhang tall. Upon the door, there were entirely flickering demonic eyes, exactly three thousand eyes, representing the Holy Demon orthodox lineage.
The moment the Heaven and Earth Demonic Door condensed into form, people could see out into the boundless void, outer space, the universe, and the starry expanses, filled purely with densely clustered demon heads. Various forms of demon heads, incomparably genuine, surged out from the demonic door like a tide.
At this very moment, the Heart Demon Old Man was no longer a person, but a large door. A large door communicating between the land of Jiuyou and the Extraterrestrial Demonic World, opening a connecting passage between the two worlds, allowing infinite powerful demon races to descend into the land of Jiuyou.
The demon heads from that other world within the Heaven and Earth Demonic Door came from the central region of the Extraterrestrial Demonic World, an existence that even the Immortal Realm found headache-inducing and always wished to eliminate. Now, the Heart Demon Old Man forcefully opened a breach, and the endless bloodthirsty demon heads naturally echoed and jostled one another, rolling out and descending upon this place.
Heaven and Earth Demonic Door!
