Chapter 622: Chapter 270: Fate Bound, Upheaval in the Demon Realm (Part 3)
The one who called out Yunmo Xi was none other than the foremost figure in the Demon Realm, the current Sect Leader of the Demon Sword Sect—Celestial Demon Yunmo Baitian!
"Father." Yunmo Xi came before Yunmo Baitian and bowed slightly.
The latter, however, was breathing heavily, gasping, "Xi’Er, what’s going on? Who is that figure?"
"Father, he is Ye Xiaofan, he... he..." Yunmo Xi hesitated several times but didn’t know what to say.
Originally, her plan to bring Ye Xiaofan into the Demon Realm was to have him switch sides, valuing his forbidden talent and potential. If that figure could be used by the Demon Realm, he would definitely be the hope for the survival of the entire Demon Realm in the future. But unexpectedly, something astonishing happened.
Hearing this, Yunmo Baitian was stunned, and the countless leaders of the Demon Realm around him were all struck as if by lightning.
"Xi’Er, could this be the young man you brought back from the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’?"
"My God, what is this child doing? Is he purifying and absorbing the Demon Tree Demon Path Miasma?"
Rumbling—!!!
With these words said, the entire Demon Realm’s countless leaders gasped; that figure was actually purifying the Demon Tree’s Demon Path Miasma and absorbing it into his own body.
If he could truly purify and absorb the vast miasma of the Demon Realm, wouldn’t that mean that this world would indirectly avoid the extermination catastrophe caused by the miasma’s erosion?
At this moment, not only the endless heads of the Demon Realm, even Yunmo Xi was completely dumbfounded. She merely wanted that person to join the Demon Realm’s side and never imagined this scene today.
If he could indeed purify all the miasma from the Demon Tree, even if only more than thirty percent, that would mean he saved the entire Demon Realm, granting this world a rebirth, including Yunmo Baitian and other heads of the Demon Realm.
Countless leaders of the Demon Realm were intensely watching that world, and words couldn’t describe the shock and horror in their hearts.
That figure, although only at the Self-Slaying Realm in cultivation, seemed like the nemesis of the Demon Tree. The miasma that approached him was instantly purified and absorbed, seemingly miraculous.
As time passed, the entire Demon Realm was completely boiling.
However, even with the World Tree absorbing the Demon Path Miasma with staggering speed, the miasma accumulated over endless years in this vast world was too much, beyond estimation.
"Pass my decree: without any orders, no cultivator in the Demon Realm is allowed to disturb Ye Gongzi."
"Someone, immediately blockade the entire Land of Disaster; not a fly should get in. If he truly can purify the miasma of the Demon Realm, it will be a world-shaking turning point for our Demon Realm, a lifeline bestowed upon us by heaven."
"Xi’Er, you may have brought a savior to our Demon Realm; he is the savior of our Demon Realm."
After the immense shock among countless heads of the Demon Realm, an endless exhilaration replaced it. Some aged figures could no longer restrain their trembling.
The Demon Realm is called the Demon Realm because of the existence of the Demon Path Miasma. In fact, the cultivation resources of this world aren’t much weaker than those of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range. Otherwise, the Demon Realm wouldn’t have stood for countless millennia.
However, compared to the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, the spiritual Qi in the Demon Realm was also eroded by miasma; the spiritual power cultivated by cultivators appeared as Magic Power. But if the miasma of this world were purified, it wouldn’t take long for spiritual Qi to surpass Demonic Qi.
By that time, the entire Demon Realm would become another region like the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, not only averting the extinction disaster but allowing its descendants to thrive without the threat of miasma, possibly rooting and sprouting like normal cultivators.
But to completely purify the miasma of this world may not be accomplished overnight, or even ever. As long as the Demon Tree remains, the Demon Realm will need that figure to continually purify and absorb the miasma.
At least once every while, maybe every hundred years, every thousand years, or every ten thousand years.
That is to say, as long as that figure is willing, entering the Demon Realm once every few years will render the Demon Tree meaningless. And if given enough time, once powerful enough to destroy the Demon Tree is born in the Demon Realm, it will completely become another cultivation sacred land.
"Ye Xiaofan, could this be your destiny?"
With these thoughts, Yunmo Xi became immensely shocked, even breathing became extremely rapid.
In this way, that figure in the future will be the savior of the entire Demon Realm. The entire Demon Realm may support him at all costs, at least as long as the Demon Tree exists, he will be an absolute terrifying backing.
Because once that figure falls, no one will be able to suppress the Demon Tree, and before long, the Demon Realm will be as it is now, still facing extinction, still forced to fight against the Hundred Broken Mountain Range.
Compared with engaging in an all-out holy war, the Demon Realm certainly doesn’t prefer it. After all, a holy war implies mutual destruction, which neither the Hundred Broken Mountain Range nor the Demon Realm can bear. Not reaching the point of extinction, the Demon Realm will certainly not choose this mutually destructive approach.
In other words, at this moment, Ye Xiaofan is spiritually bound to the Demon Realm. If he lives, so does the Demon Realm; if he dies, the Demon Realm will also perish.
"Hahaha, heaven hasn’t forsaken my Demon Realm, heaven hasn’t forsaken my Demon Realm—!"
"Heavenly Dao, is it out of compassion that you sent this child to save the descendants of my hundred sects from disaster?"
"Spread my command, announce this news to the whole world. I want everyone in the Demon Realm to know this great news."
"Xi’Er, my good daughter of the Demon Realm, you are right. Your decision saved countless beings of the Demon Realm."
"Worthy of being recognized as the demoness by our Hundred Sects, child, you will become an eternal figure in our Demon Realm. Your name will be praised by countless generations, remembered forever in history."
"And Ye Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou’s actions today are akin to rebirth. Our Demon Realm will never forget Xiaoyou’s kindness. Ye Xiaoyou, please accept this old man’s bow—!!!"
Countless leaders of the Demon Realm, seemingly stimulated, were already in tears. For the sect cultivators facing extinction, for those who spent a life under the threat of darkness and death, Ye Xiaofan at this moment was undoubtedly a beam of light illuminating the dark night of the Demon Realm, giving them hope for survival. This grace was greater than the heavens, this sentiment exceeded the earth.
Even Ye Xiaofan himself did not expect that the World Tree’s self-purification and consumption of the Demon Tree Demon Path Miasma would bind him to the entire Demon Realm within just a few hours.
This life-and-death bond was far more unyielding and unbreakable than any interest bond.
