The three-eyed being was named Yang Jian, the top lackey of the Jade Emperor. In truth, there were many formidable figures under the Jade Emperor's command, as he was the most legitimate Immortal Emperor within the Nine Immortal Realm. Those who possessed the strength of an Immortal Emperor had to obey him.
Yet, the Jade Emperor's favorite remained Yang Jian.
As a lackey, Yang Jian's strength was quite impressive; he was a Thirty-Fifth Tier warrior, just one step away from reaching the Immortal Emperor realm.
For someone in his position, strength wasn't the most important factor; loyalty was paramount.
As a dog, what more could one expect? As long as he could intimidate others and report back in time, that was sufficient.
This time, when Yang Jian reported back, the outcome was far from satisfactory. The Jade Emperor was extremely furious, exuding an overwhelming presence as Yang Jian knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.
"Your Majesty," he began, "the Demon Realm has mobilized its forces, sending one hundred thousand warships. Each warship carries conservatively over two thousand soldiers. The frontline reports indicate that the Ruling Battlefield has already fallen and is under the control of the Demon Realm Army. Currently, they are entering the Nine Immortal Realm in batches and amassing at the northern border."
The Demon Realm and the Nine Immortal Realm were two spatial planes that resembled a low altitude and a high altitude. The Ruling Battlefield served as a connection point between these two realms. It was unclear which spatial plane existed at a higher altitude or lower altitude, but it was certain that the northern part of the Demon Realm connected to the Ruling Battlefield, just as the northern part of the Nine Immortal Realm did.
Upon hearing Yang Jian's explanation, the Jade Emperor suddenly calmed down. Having ruled over the Nine Immortal Realm for many years, he had encountered countless storms. Even though this upheaval could potentially overturn the Nine Immortal Realm, he managed to regain his composure quickly. He understood that acting on impulse was futile; only by remaining calm and steady could he devise a strategy.
However, after pondering for a while, he realized he had no solution. He couldn't fathom what the Dark Mage intended to do.
Such a grand display could only be orchestrated by the Dark Mage. The Jade Emperor felt confident in his judgment; within the Demon Realm, despite having three Demon Emperors, there was only one true master—the Dark Mage.
Previously, Jiang Lingjian and Demon Emperor Ji Dingxuan from the Dark Demon Clan had not been regarded highly by the Jade Emperor.
"Has the Dark Mage come personally?" asked the Jade Emperor lightly.
Yang Jian replied, "I do not know, Your Majesty. The frontline reports only indicate that the Demon Realm Army is gathering in the desolate northern lands; no further information has been relayed back."
"Send word to gather our army from the Immortal Realm and hasten to the frontline. Inform the other sixteen Immortal Emperors to join me in repelling the Demon Realm Army!"
"All experts of the Immortal Realm, immediately put down all affairs and gather at the Jade Emperor Palace!"
...
At the Jade Emperor Palace, edicts were being issued one after another, shaking the entire Nine Immortal Realm. Everyone was wondering what madness had gripped the Demon Realm.
Meanwhile, in the desolate northern part of the Nine Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm Army was assembling, a staggering three hundred million strong, their presence formidable.
The Dark Mage stood on the deck of the Divine Vessel with several Demon Emperors and five hundred Martial Emperors from the demon race, gazing at the vast landscape in the distance.
Within the Nine Immortal Realm, spiritual energy was abundant and the atmosphere serene. Although they could not absorb this energy, everyone felt refreshed and free from the oppressive feeling that permeated the Demon Realm.
The greatest difference between the Demon Realm and the Nine Immortal Realm lay in their atmospheres. The atmosphere of the Demon Realm leaned towards eerie and terrifying, while that of the Nine Immortal Realm felt like a celestial paradise...
In fact, just from their names, one could see the distinction between these two Spatial Planes. Demons and immortals were fundamentally different.
Wei Chen, along with Yan Qiqi, Ji Min, and the Demon Lotus Emperor, were also aboard the Shenzhou Giant Warship.
Upon arriving in the Nine Immortal Realm, Wei Chen realized that it was indeed superior to the Demon Realm. In terms of living conditions, the Nine Immortal Realm was on a whole new level compared to the Demon Realm. This was not just his opinion; even those who lived in the Demon Realm shared similar sentiments. Everyone yearned for a bright and gentle environment; no one preferred a dark and sinister one.
In fact, significant changes had already begun to take place in the Demon Realm, and as time passed, these changes would become even more pronounced. Wei Chen had become a god of the Demon Realm; how could he simply watch it descend into chaos?
With his immense Divine Power, Wei Chen could transform the Demon Realm, but it would require time; it was not something that could be achieved overnight. The Nine Immortal Realm was precisely his target for transformation. No matter how many worlds he conquered in the future, the Demon Realm would always be his Ancestral Realm. A god can control many worlds but can only have one Ancestral Realm. To change an Ancestral Realm would require abandoning all cultivation and starting anew; otherwise, it was utterly impossible.
"The people of the Nine Immortal Realm are truly complacent. We've been gathering here for half a day; why haven't they arrived yet?" Wei Chen said with a smile.
The Dark Mage chuckled and replied, "Don't rush. We need to give the Jade Emperor time to mobilize his forces. The Nine Immortal Realm is not entirely united; the Jade Emperor's control over it is limited."
According to the Dark Mage, Wei Chen knew that without a god, no one could truly control a Spatial Plane. Only a god could achieve such a feat. Therefore, it was only natural for the Jade Emperor to take some time to mobilize his forces.
"Grandfather, you all can handle the rest. The people from the Martial Emperor Realm are valuable resources; try not to kill them. If we can resolve things peacefully, let's do so," Wei Chen said.
The Dark Mage shook his head and replied, "It's not that simple. A peaceful resolution is impossible; we are here to occupy the Nine Immortal Realm, and the Jade Emperor will never willingly relinquish his position."
"It's simple enough; we'll just beat him until he submits," Wei Chen said lightly.
The Dark Mage shrugged and laughed, "Do your best."
Wei Chen had no interest in involving himself in these "mortal" matters. He instructed the Demon Lotus Emperor to feel the atmosphere of war and let Ji Min train alongside Ji Dingxuan. He then took Yan Qiqi with him and vanished in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi arrived at the center of the Nine Immortal Realm, right above the Jade Emperor Palace.
The Jade Emperor had inherited this position for countless generations, and the location of the Jade Emperor Palace was quite impressive.
Wei Chen flew with Yan Qiqi to an altitude hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Jade Emperor Palace. Above them was the edge of the Nine Immortal Realm's sky.
"Qiqi, try to refine the souls of the Nine Immortal Realm. I'll provide you with protection," Wei Chen said to Yan Qiqi.
Since Yan Qiqi was not yet a god, being at such a high altitude made her feel extremely uncomfortable due to the nearly nonexistent air pressure. Wei Chen used Divine Power to create a protective barrier around her, allowing her to work at this height.
"Brother, don't worry; I will do my best."
Yan Qiqi took out the Refining Demon Pot and gave Wei Chen a gentle smile before immersing herself in her intense work.
Soon, Yan Qiqi's delicate brows furrowed tightly.
She looked at Wei Chen, forcing a smile as she shook her head. "Brother, the soul of the Nine Immortal Realm has a strong resistance. I can't refine its soul."
Wei Chen frowned. "What should I do?"
"The current soul of the Nine Immortal Realm is still very robust. Refining it is nearly impossible. The soul of a world is closely related to the stability and harmony of that world. Moreover, we are outsiders; the soul of the Nine Immortal Realm inherently resists me. My current strength is limited, and I cannot continue," Yan Qiqi explained.
Wei Chen thought for a moment and said calmly, "Since it won't submit, then we will force it to submit! When our Demon Realm Army occupies the entire Nine Immortal Realm, you can try again and see if it remains so defiant!"
The soul of a world lacks consciousness but can generate resistance on its own. Refining the soul of a world is not easy. Similarly, refining a Heart of the World is even more challenging. When refining a soul, only the soul of that world generates resistance; however, when refining the Heart of the World, all energies within that entire world will resist.
Wei Chen considered letting Yan Qiqi refine the soul of the Nine Immortal Realm first, making it easier for him to refine the Heart of the World afterward. As for whether he could succeed, he had no confidence. After all, countless Deities had tried and failed before him, leaving Wei Chen uncertain.
Yan Qiqi said, "We can only wait until the Army occupies the Nine Immortal Realm. This is my first attempt at refining a world’s soul, especially one as high-level as the Nine Immortal Realm's Spatial Plane. The pressure is immense."
"Pressure brings motivation," Wei Chen replied with a gentle smile as he reinforced the Divine Power barrier surrounding Yan Qiqi. "Qiqi, take your time here. Don't push yourself too hard. I'll go down and see if we can quickly occupy the Nine Immortal Realm and proceed with our next steps."
"Brother, you can go without worrying about me. I'm safe here."
Inside the protective barrier, Yan Qiqi felt enveloped by Wei Chen's warm aura, bringing her comfort and security. Whether Wei Chen was beside her or not felt the same to her. In fact, she preferred him to step away a bit so she wouldn't feel pressured by his presence. Without him there, she could concentrate better on her attempts; with him standing guard beside her, Yan Qiqi felt overwhelmed and distracted.
"Alright, do your best. If anything happens, just call for me; I’ll be there immediately."
After giving his instructions, Wei Chen returned to the Shenzhou.
The Demon Realm Army stood ready while they awaited any sign from the Army of the Nine Immortal Realm, which was still nowhere to be seen.
The Dark Mage and others found it strange that no vanguard had arrived yet, despite the Jade Emperor's slow pace. The army was taking too long to organize, and he should have brought his people to scout ahead.
"Grandfather, let's not wait any longer. Let's head straight for the Jade Emperor Palace and destroy it! Then we can move west and dismantle the Western Buddha's forces," Wei Chen commanded.
The Dark Mage was taken aback. Wasn't their goal supposed to be peaceful? Why had it suddenly turned into a campaign of destruction?
"Are you sure you want to do that?" the Dark Mage asked, furrowing his brow.
Wei Chen nodded fiercely, a cruel smile on his face. "Try to minimize casualties, but we must destroy the large structures of the Nine Immortal Realm. Any major forces, especially the Cloud Spirit Sect's celestial palaces, must be obliterated! Haven't we been researching magical artillery? It's time to put those to use!"
"All troops, listen up! No unnecessary killings, but any large buildings we encounter—those over three stories tall or occupying more than ten acres—are to be leveled to the ground!"
The army sprang into action, a hundred thousand warships moving in formation toward the Jade Emperor Palace.
The Dark Mage couldn't understand why Wei Chen had suddenly changed his mind and become so… brutal. But with orders given, there was no turning back. The entire army would strictly follow Wei Chen's commands. He was a god of the Demon Realm; his orders were right even if they were wrong.
The hundred thousand warships formed five horizontal lines, with twenty thousand ships in each line, blocking a stretch of two thousand miles. If they encountered resistance, nearby warships could quickly respond. The Demon Clan Martial Emperor's combat teams moved swiftly to extinguish any opposition, slaying numerous resistors.
Gradually, those from the Nine Immortal Realm began to notice a pattern: the Demon Realm Army did not seem to be here for battle but rather for destruction…
They didn't appear interested in killing; instead, they were solely focused on demolishing buildings. It was utterly inexplicable!
