“The Demon World!” Lan Hua exclaimed, shocked. He was a demon – surely he could recognise what was in front of him.

Holy shit! Lonemoon’s expression darkened. He wanted to curse somebody’s mother. The Demon World actually appeared here. They were not just talking about to the gates to the demon world – the entire Demon World had dropped in front of them. It was merging with the immortal realm!

The Emperor Ascension Stage was located at the boundaries of the Heavens beyond Heaven. Not far under it was the Void Land. That was the boundary of the entire immortal realm. A little further, there would be nothingness. If the Demon World appeared there, it meant that the Demon World was merging with the Immortal realm.

It was no wonder that there was such huge movement before this. The entire immortal realm had been shaking violently for almost an hour. The immortal realm and the demonic realm originally existed together – it would be strange if there was no indication that they had merged.

“What happened?” Yi Qing frowned. He looked at the strange horizon in front of him. Who had the capabilities of dragging the entire demonic realm down to the immortal realm?

“It looks like we have to ask the demon who did this!” Lonemoon’s voice was cold.

The four of them turned to glare at the figure on the Emperor Ascension Stage.

The Demon King was shaking in terror. He was suppressing his urge to turn and make a break for it. Straightening his back, he decided to be submissive and obedient.

“Did you do this?” Lonemoon gestured at the demonic realm and the opened demonic gates behind him.

“I’m wronged, Exalted Goddess!” The Demon King was breaking out in a cold sweat and his eyes welled up with tears. “I don’t even know what’s going on. I listened to you and brought all the demons back into the demonic realm. But the gates suddenly opened, and… and… I appeared here.” He did not want to go into the immortal realm himself! It was easy being the Demon King – everybody was at his beck and call.

Now that the demonic realm and the immortal realm were merged, there was not even a gate to separate them. He could bump into the Exalted Goddess anywhere he went. That was so scary! All the demons were in danger!

“You really had nothing to do with the demonic realm dropping into the immortal realm?”

“I didn’t!” The Demon King shook his head. He had already given up all his ambitions as a demon. “If I had such powers, would I have waited until now to do it?” One needed great skills to merge the two realms together. That aside, even if he did possess such skills, he would have merged the demonic realm with the mortal realm – not the immortal one!

“Then who has the skills to do this?” Shen Ying asked.

“Huh?” The demon king paused, fearful. “Well… Well, I’m not too sure myself. It’s difficult enough opening the gates to the demonic realm, much less merging the two realms. I have never seen anyone who possesses such power. Unless…” His eyes brightened up, as if thinking of something. “It is someone from the Divine Realm.”

“The Divine Realm?” They all paused.

“Yes, yes, yes.” The Demon King nodded furiously, obviously excited. “In the beginning, the immortal and divine realms were merged together. Later, a huge battle broke out and the divine race broke the heavenly pillars, leaving the two realms separated by an array. That was how the two realms became separate.”

“The heavenly pillar…” Lonemoon turned to look behind him. The colourful gates to the demonic realm stood high on top of a hill of rubble. In his mind, a bulb lit up. “Could it be that the demonic realm fell into the immortal realm because… of the Emperor Ascension Stage!”

He turned to look at the others. Indeed, they thought of this exact reason too.

The fog in their minds cleared up instantly. Shen Ying said that the person who allowed them to transmigrate wanted to open the gates to the demonic realm. But he could have achieved this by sending any other person. Why did he look for them to transmigrate?

What’s more, when they were in the Invincible Sect, the gates of the demonic realm had opened once, but nothing like this happened. When Shen Ying emerged, the gates disappeared as well.

This time, the gates to the demonic realm were closed, but it was set up right there.

In other words, opening the gates was secondary – the important thing was where they opened those gates. It was obvious that his goal was the Emperor Ascension Stage. He did not want to open the gates to the demonic realm for the sake of it. Instead, he wanted to make use of the isolation array on the heavenly pillar to pull the entire demonic realm over and be merged with the immortal realm.
