It's become indistinguishable, who is the cause and who is the effect after all.
The Immortal Demon Lord glanced at the remains of the Divine Turtle underfoot, vast power flowed from within him, cleansing the pollution from the Divine Turtle remains.
It took him a massive amount of soul power, barely able to wash the Divine Turtle remains to a level where they wouldn't become a source of pollution.
The remaining pollution would require a long time to wash away.
The Immortal Demon Lord chose to send the Divine Turtle remains to the past, allowing time to cleanse them and dilute the pollution.
The Divine Turtle remains were sent to the Divine Martial World ten thousand years ago, the supreme aura on them attracted the first demon entering the Divine Martial World.
Over ten thousand years, the mud and stones accumulated on the Divine Turtle remains, eventually turning into a floating island.
Until one day, it drifted to the edge of the continent and was discovered by human warriors.
Human warriors used a cloud bridge as a cable to secure this huge floating island, then they thrived on it and established a city.
Below this city, on the back of the Divine Turtle remains, there was the ruin of another city.
The Immortal Demon Lord himself, also affected by the pollution, could only disperse his current power and scatter the remaining power throughout the Time River.
Among them was a skeleton, which fell into the past Earth Fire City, in the Earth Fire Demon Cave.
A young man accidentally obtained a wisp of soul power scattered across the world by the Immortal Demon Lord, from then on he rose, but was hunted down. At a critical moment, he entered the Earth Fire Demon Cave and gained inheritance...
A sigh~ from the future of the Time River interrupted the actions of the Immortal Demon Lord.
A blurry figure appeared on the Time River, upon hearing the sigh, the Immortal Demon Lord stopped his action.
He had long known that on the Time River, he wasn't alone, there was another powerful figure.
However, that figure was in the future of the Time River, beyond his reach, unable to contact, unable to meet.
Unless that figure willingly appeared before him.
The blurry figure said nothing, but the Immortal Demon Lord understood the sigh.
This was an endless cycle, the Demon Emperor who had seen countless cycles in the upstream of the Time River broke this cycle.
The Demon Emperor hadn't acted before because it was futile to do so, the Immortal Demon Lord burying himself in the past was the best choice for the present.
As long as the cycle continued, the present would never be destroyed and would always remain balanced.
But this doesn't mean the problem was solved.
In fact, even if the cycle continued, the impact of demons on the present increased.
The most direct evidence is, during the first cycle, demons had just appeared in the present, and only five Supreme Demon Monster Saint Ancestors and demon supreme beings existed.
Now, demons are everywhere in the present, and the time for demon supreme beings to descend is getting shorter and shorter.
Perhaps without waiting for the next cycle, it will reach a critical point, and demon supreme beings will descend.
This is the first reason the Demon Emperor interrupted the Immortal Demon Lord's cycle.
The second reason is this cycle is different, a variable has appeared.
Lu Yu's appearance let both the Demon Emperor and Immortal Demon Lord see a variable, a hope to break the cycle.
But they dared not be completely sure this variable was good.
Lu Yu's current strength is far from reaching a level to resolve this matter.
In other words, if a demon supreme being looked at him, Lu Yu would immediately die with his path extinguished, without even a cycle of reincarnation.
One option is one hundred percent waiting for the next cycle, the demon supreme being descends into the present, only leading to destruction.
The other option is with a very small variable, there's hope to end the cycle.
This doesn't require consideration, anyone would choose the second.
No matter how small the chance, it's still better than definite destruction by demons.
The Immortal Demon Lord gazed at the Demon Emperor for a moment, the shadows on his body receded, returning to his original form.
Originally, the Immortal Demon Lord was a handsome man.
He stared at the Demon Emperor, with mixed feelings, countless cycles had already clouded his true heart, he was about to forget his original heroic spirit.
Glancing at the Black River having resumed its original state, the Immortal Demon Lord turned to look at the Demon Emperor and said, "Time has passed too long, I've already forgotten my name."
"I only vaguely remember, back then they called me 'Netherworld Emperor,' but I prefer another name, 'Great Sage.'"
The Demon Emperor nodded slightly, uttering two words, "Demon Emperor."
The two exchanged a glance, then turned to look at the Time River, seeing the variable that might break the cycle.
"Too weak," the Immortal Demon Lord said, looking at Lu Yu.
The Demon Emperor did not speak, agreeing with his statement, she was not particularly concerned about Lu Yu's strength. The Demon Emperor cared about the "variable."
If strength is useful, she would have already destroyed all the demons.
The Immortal Demon Lord chuckled and murmured to himself, "Isn't this the reason I left behind?"
Saying this, he walked into the Time River, disappearing in front of the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor glanced at the scene in the Time River, never looked at the mist, and returned to its own future Time River.
Nine chains extended from the star river under Lu Yu's feet, locking onto nine Mythical Realm demons.
Just as he was about to take action to resolve the demons, he suddenly felt a bit uneasy, a prompting feeling, a sense of impending doom.
But the feeling quickly vanished, and afterward, he realized that it wasn't a sense of danger, but a simple feeling of pressure, an unseen pressure lurking in the shadows.
He also wondered why there was a pressure causing him unease when he was already so strong.
With a lift of his hand, he exploded the high-tier Mythical Realm demons before him.
Allowing the origin of the Mythical Realm demons to disperse and be absorbed by the small world.
Suddenly, Lu Yu felt something was wrong, the origins of the Mythical Realm demons he killed hadn't been shattered.
Instead, they felt more consolidated.
Boom boom boom~ The heavens shook, the realms of several Mythical Realm demons break through and rise, resurrected, and their power surged.
Crack crack crack~ snap~ The chains of order were shattered and broken by the Mythical Realm demons.
Lu Yu felt things were odd, but didn't think much, with a wave of his hand, dozens of chains of order burst from the stars beneath his feet, piercing through several power-surging Mythical Realm demons in front of him.
Unexpectedly, these Mythical Realm demons acted as if they were mad, without regard, exploding their origin power, using it to directly shake Lu Yu's chains of order.
Even at the cost of their origin, they sought to break Lu Yu's chains of order.
Dozens of chains of order were instantly destroyed by several Mythical Realm demons, catching Lu Yu off guard.
Mythical Realm demons rushed to Lu Yu, delivering a punch of origin power directly at him.
In haste, he barely had time to protect his face, avoiding the blow.
Bang bang bang~ The demonic powers heavily blasted on Lu Yu's body, causing him to tremble constantly.
The collision of the flesh was secondary, Lu Yu's physique was extremely strong, even the Mythical Realm demons found it hard to shake.
The key was the collision of origins, the Mythical Realm demons behaved as if they cared not about their lives, using their origins to attack directly, striking at Lu Yu's origin.
Every blast was a collision of origins.
Watching as his internal origin shook repeatedly, Lu Yu felt slightly anxious. If his origin were dispersed, the consequences would be inconceivable.
Though not to the extent of dying immediately, it would mean losing all power.
However, under the current circumstances, losing all power was no different from immediate death.
After enduring the strongest assault from the demons' first wave, Lu Yu seized the opportunity to retaliate, striking the Mythical Realm demons and drawing distance to stabilize his origin.
Soon, he found that after stabilizing his origin, it seemed to have grown stronger.
In the previous collision of origins, his origin absorbed much of the dispersed power from the Mythical Realm demons, strengthening itself.
A light appeared in Lu Yu's eyes, an expression of excitement emerging on his face, he hadn't expected such a benefit from origin collisions.
Origin collisions could quickly enhance the power of origin, but they were perilous, a slight misstep would cause the complete collapse of cultivation, resulting in death with one's path extinguished.
Yet Lu Yu had a significant question, the actions of the Mythical Realm demons varied greatly before and after.
It made him suspect that among the demons, there were "actors," those few Mythical Realm demons came to "deliver" a false impression.
