Chapter 1442: Above the Emperor Sovereign

The two Demon Emperors were single-mindedly intent on breaking through the Demon Cave to wipe away past shame.

But they didn't know that, while they were building the Demon Cave, Ye Zhangqing, Yun Xiantai and their group were also aboard the Star Battleship, rushing swiftly toward the Demon Realm.

Along the way they didn't waste any time; that Ancient Emperor Pattern Pill, Yun Xiantai was determined to obtain it.

However, just as everyone was discussing how to seize the Demon Origin Fruit, a disagreement arose.

Inside the cabin, Yun Xiantai, Dongfang Hong, Dongfang Huang, Qiu Baiyi, Bai Xian'er, and Ye Zhangqing sat together in a circle.

Yun Xiantai's idea was to directly attack the Demon Realm, grab the loot, and leave.

But Dongfang Hong felt it was too risky; the Demon race's strength should not be underestimated. Although they now have five Emperor Sovereigns on their side, who can guarantee the Demon race has no hidden trump cards?

"The Demon race has a total of eight Demon Emperors; one has already been killed, and several Demon Emperors are currently not in the Demon Realm..........."

Yun Xiantai compared the strengths of both sides and believed a frontal assault was the most efficient option.

"It would be better to be more steady."

Dongfang Hong still felt that a direct assault was too dangerous.

Just as the two were deadlocked in their argument, Bai Xian'er rarely spoke up.

"A frontal assault is impossible."

Huh???

Since joining Ye Zhangqing's group, Bai Xian'er has hardly ever voiced an opinion.

One reason is that she just joined, so compared to others, she is still not fully trusted.

Secondly, it's her own personality; when she was at the Medicine King Pavilion, Bai Xian'er also rarely participated in any decisions.

She has no interest in these matters; as a devotee, as long as you provide her with cultivation resources, she'll do whatever you ask—doing anything else is just too much trouble and tiring.

Therefore, Bai Xian'er always remains silent during discussions.

But this time she spoke up on her own initiative.

Hearing that, Yun Xiantai looked at her curiously and asked.

"Why?"

Bai Xian'er suddenly said this, and Yun Xiantai also wanted to hear her reasoning.

Faced with Yun Xiantai's questioning, Bai Xian'er did not hide anything and spoke bluntly.

"The Demon race is not as simple as it appears on the surface."

"What do you know?"

"Do you know what realm lies above the Emperor Sovereign?"

The realm above the Emperor Sovereign was something everyone was encountering for the first time; Yun Xiantai shook her head.

Seeing that, Bai Xian'er continued.

"Above the Emperor Sovereign is the Ancestral Realm."

"An Ancestral Realm expert, even if you look across all Zhu Tian Wan Jie, is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns."

"Moreover, if you think the Demon race is only as simple as it appears, why would the Medicine King Pavilion still be so wary of it? And the Demon Origin Fruit wouldn't forever remain out of reach."

On the surface, the Demon race has only eight Demon Emperors holding power.

They rule over the entire Demon race, and all Demon race powerhouses must obey the commands of the eight Demon Emperors.

But in reality, the Demon race is far from being that simple.

Otherwise, the Medicine King Pavilion wouldn't be so wary of the Demon race, and even if they wanted the Demon Origin Fruit, they would never obtain it.

Even so, they wouldn't dare do anything outrageous against the Demon race.

Frankly, eight Demon Emperors alone wouldn't be enough to make the Medicine King Pavilion this wary; if they were truly determined, they could mobilize the Medicine King Pavilion's vast network.

Suppressing the Demon race by force wouldn't be impossible either, after all, they're only eight Emperor Sovereign powerhouses.

But the Medicine King Pavilion has never dared to do so, precisely because the Demon race hides its true strength.

Being called one of the top-tier great clans among Zhu Tian Wan Jie, the Demon race is obviously not as simple as it appears.

I won't even mention the Demon Emperors; Bai Xian'er doesn't know exactly how many Demon Emperors the Demon race has, but it's definitely more than the eight that appear on the surface.

Even those eight Demon Emperors that are visible are merely the tip of the iceberg for the Demon race.

As for the battles between the Demon race and Haotu Shijie, Bai Xian'er also knows some details.

However, according to her, that means the Demon race has never even regarded Haotu Shijie as worthy of attention from the beginning.

In the battles against Haotu Shijie, the true upper echelons of the Demon race have never paid any attention.

However, what truly makes Zhu Tian Wan Jie so wary of the Demon race is not those so-called Demon Emperors, but the existence above them—the Ancestral Realm.

Above the Emperor Sovereign Realm is the Ancestral Realm.

And for any race to truly become a top-tier race among Zhu Tian Wan Jie, it must have an Ancestral Realm expert holding the fort.

The Ancestral Realm is the ancestor of a clan, its foundation.

Bai Xian'er told everyone what she knew; after hearing it, Yun Xiantai was stunned.

She glanced at Dongfang Hong beside her; seeing his reaction, Dongfang Hong gave a bitter smile.

"Those matters are too far removed; telling you about them would be useless."

Dongfang Hong's words undoubtedly proved the truth of Bai Xian'er's statements; he had naturally heard of the Ancestral Realm before.

But such beings are too distant for them; even though Dongfang Hong had heard of them before, he had never actually encountered an Ancestral Realm expert.

Bai Xian'er herself has never seen an Ancestral Realm expert, but it is certain that the Demon race possesses a Demon Ancestor.

"So should we still launch a forcible assault?"

After hearing Bai Xian'er's words, a forcible assault is definitely out of the question; even this journey to the Demon Realm would be extremely dangerous.

But since we've come all this way, Yun Xiantai isn't ready to give up—we have to at least try.

Fortunately, Bai Xian'er happens to have a map of the Demon race.

Although it's not a surprise, there's only a rough idea, but it's still better than nothing.

Moreover, the map clearly marks the location of the magic element fruit.

The Demon Realm's area is huge, enormously so; in fact, it is the largest world anyone has seen so far.

"How come there are so many unmarked areas on this map?"

The map Bai Xian'er produced has marked areas that account for only one-tenth of the entire Demon Realm.

The remaining nine-tenths of the area are completely blank, with even the topography not fully outlined.

Qiu Baiyi asked somewhat curiously.

【68> She knows nothing about the Demon Race, and the Tianwu Realm has never had contact with them either, so she asked curiously.

She didn't understand the demon race; the Heavenly Martial Realm had never had contact with the demon race before, so she asked curiously.

Bai Xian'er replied indifferently.

"Because everywhere else is a forbidden zone."

"A forbidden zone?"

"Let me put it this way: the Haotu Shijie once fought the Demon Race, and the eight Demon Emperors were actually in charge of exactly these marked areas."

"To outsiders, knowledge of the Demon Realm is limited to this much; the other nine-tenths are forbidden zones that outsiders cannot enter."

Put bluntly, that is, the Demon Realm has always shown only one-tenth of its area to the world, while the remaining nine-tenths—what condition they are in and how many powerful beings lie hidden there—remains unknown.

And this one-tenth area is also called the Demon Realm Gate.

After hearing Bai Xian'er's words, there was another silence, and those three magic element fruits lie at the place where the left side of the Demon Realm Gate meets the Demon Realm Forbidden Zone.

Moreover, we haven't truly ventured deep into the Demon Realm Forbidden Zone, which might be the only piece of good news.
