Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 244: Demon Court (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Demon Court (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

Destruction of the Nine Nether Sect.

Gu Qingyang naturally did not act because the sect was part of the Demon Race.

In fact.

Gu Qingyang no longer belonged to the human race, nor to the definition of the Demon Race in the Immortal Extinction Realm; he was a being on another level.

If one had to categorize, Gu Qingyang saw himself as equivalent to the Innate Spirits of myth and legend.

Therefore.

Gu Qingyang destroyed the Nine Nether Sect, not because it was demon-related.

In Ye Jiuyou’s memory, all the cultivators who joined the Nine Nether Sect were actually wicked individuals, often capturing humans and isolated demons to nourish themselves with their flesh and blood, cultivating Demon Techniques.

For such cultivators who wantonly harmed their fellow beings, Gu Qingyang would never show mercy.

Moreover, they intended to deal with his followers, adding to their sins.

Destruction of the Nine Nether Sect.

Gu Qingyang felt no psychological burden; it was merely a convenient act.

This move.

Could also be considered as removing a tumor for the Demon Race.

After destroying the Nine Nether Sect, Gu Qingyang continued to travel further into the Demon Realm.

...

Less than half an hour after Gu Qingyang’s departure, other powerful beings of the Demon Race arrived.

Upon seeing the devastated ruins of the Nine Nether Sect, their expressions changed dramatically.

"The Nine Nether Sect has been destroyed!"

"Ye Jiuyou, that old monster, had significant power, just a step away from Tribulation Crossing to become a Saint. The only reason he hadn’t succeeded thirty years ago was due to the recent dissipation of the Longevity Shackles!"

"Tsk tsk, Ye Jiuyou must have offended some mighty power; perishing himself would have been enough, but the entire sect was wiped out.

Unfortunately, the Blood Nerve Scripture is lost forever..."

"Hmph, it’s good that the Nine Nether Sect, such a harmful group, was destroyed. I always suspected Ye Jiuyou secretly used the flesh and blood of our kind to cultivate Demon Techniques.

Now that they are gone, it’s the wheel of fate turning!"

Some cultivators were shocked by the destruction of the Nine Nether Sect, but many applauded it.

It was evident.

The Nine Nether Sect didn’t have a good reputation even within the Demon Race.

If not for Ye Jiuyou’s formidable strength, the Nine Nether Sect might have been destroyed long ago.

However ——

Some strong individuals also pondered who exactly annihilated the Nine Nether Sect.

Despite its notorious reputation, the Nine Nether Sect was indeed powerful. Ye Jiuyou was a top-tier True Monarch, merely a step away from becoming a Saint through Tribulation Crossing.

One could say.

The Nine Nether Sect’s status as a leading sect within the Demon Race was entirely due to Ye Jiuyou.

If not for him.

The Nine Nether Sect would only be a third-rate sect.

Clearly.

Ye Jiuyou’s power was terrifying.

But even someone as strong as Ye Jiuyou was slain on the spot, and the entire Nine Nether Sect was eradicated. The strength of the individual who acted was evident.

Some cultivators suspected that an ancient Noble Family Sacred Land found the Nine Nether Sect displeasing, leading to its destruction.

As these cultivators left, the news of the Nine Nether Sect’s destruction spread like wildfire within half a day.

Days later.

The Demon Race was in turmoil.

After all, top-tier sects were rare even within the entire Demon Race, and only ancient Noble Family Sacred Lands had the strength to destroy the Nine Nether Sect.

During this time.

Many cultivators also came to the ruins of the Nine Nether Sect, seeking any treasures left behind.

When Gu Qingyang destroyed the Nine Nether Sect, he hadn’t taken the sect’s resources, so when the Nine Nether Sect’s treasury was unearthed, it caused a massive upheaval.

As a top-tier sect, the resources in the Nine Nether Sect’s treasury were considerable.

More importantly.

The inheritance of the Nine Nether Sect.

Ye Jiuyou’s strength was unfathomable; he was an apex existence in the Demon Race, and his Secret Techniques were coveted by many cultivators.

Even some ancient Noble Family Sacred Lands wanted to obtain such Secret Techniques.

It must be noted.

Hundreds of years ago, Ye Jiuyou was an obscure minor cultivator. His meteoric rise to become a top figure in contemporary times indicates his Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques were extraordinary.

Therefore.

When the treasury emerged and the Nine Nether Sect’s inheritance surfaced, the ruins became the eye of a storm, with cultivators fighting fiercely to seize the inheritance resources.

...

"The Nine Nether Sect has been destroyed; have we found out who did it?"

In the Demon Court’s grand hall, Di Xuan, clad in a golden Emperor’s Robe, asked with a stern, emotionless voice.

In front of him, a Demon Court strongman shook his head and said, "We still don’t know who did it; Ye Jiuyou and the entire Nine Nether Sect were uprooted.

From the traces left on the scene, there was no fierce battle at the Nine Nether Sect; it was completely wiped out by a strong force.

I suspect it might have been a powerful individual from an ancient Noble Family Sacred Land."

"Ye Jiuyou hadn’t yet proven himself a Saint, but among True Monarchs, his power was significant. To eradicate him effortlessly, at least a Demon Saint must have acted.

Are you suggesting that an ancient Demon Saint from a Sacred Land awakened just to target the Nine Nether Sect?"

Di Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

The official lowered his head and replied, "I’m not sure if it’s the work of a Demon Saint, but Your Majesty’s speculation is quite possible."

"Investigate, thoroughly investigate this matter for me. If it’s the emergence of an ancient Demon Saint, so be it, but if it’s a newly risen Demon Saint, that’s another matter."

"I obey the order!"

The demon strongman immediately withdrew.

Inside the grand hall, Di Xuan frowned deeply, sensing something unusual about the Nine Nether Sect’s destruction.

On the surface.

The Demon Court is revered by all demons.

But in reality, many ancient Noble Family Sacred Lands desire to replace the Demon Court, constrained only by the Demon Court’s foundation.

After all, the Demon Court has existed since Ancient Times, and even in its decline, its foundations are unfathomable.

However, in recent years, movements from various Noble Family Sacred Lands have become increasingly frequent, adding pressure on Di Xuan.

Now, with the Golden Era having just begun, if a Saint truly emerges, it indicates that these Sacred Lands must have some outstanding talent rising.

Thus.

Di Xuan also needs to find a way to respond.

After all, to attain sainthood in such a short period indicates profound talent and foundation, which could threaten the Demon Court’s future if allowed to grow.

"Since the Desolate Ancient, the Demon Court has waned; revitalizing the Demon Court has been the wish of successive Demon Emperors. However, the human race is prosperous and perpetually suppresses the Demon Race and the Demon Court.

Now, reports of unrest from the human side suggest the present era may yet be an opportunity for the Demon Court!"

Di Xuan murmured to himself. Though residing in the Demon Realm, he wasn’t completely unaware of the outside world.

Of course.

His understanding was only partial.

The human race has always suppressed the Demon Race, making it difficult to gather intelligence from the outside.

Suddenly.

Di Xuan shouted in anger, "Who’s there!"

At his words, the space in one corner of the grand hall trembled, and divine light appeared, ushering in the sight of a figure in green robes before Di Xuan’s eyes.
