Chapter 366

The Yongxing Realm, territory of the Star Demon Clan.

Two days have passed since the Star Demon Clan's Laozu departed for the other world.

In these two days, the Laozu sent no word, nor did the other Laozu who accompanied him.

Know that the Laozu who went to the other world was one of the Star Demon Clan's oldest ancestors, his strength among the highest in the Yongxing Realm, and recently he had reached the Immortal-Demon realm, placing him among the pinnacle of Yongxing Realm's power.

As for the other Laozu who went with him, each was a figure whose every step made the Yongxing Realm tremble.

Yet none had sent any word.

By the second day, the Star Demon Clan was in a frenzy.

If the Laozu who went there had met with disaster, it would be a fatal blow to the Star Demon Clan.

At first, they feared it might be a conspiracy by other races of the Yongxing Realm, aiming to ambush and kill the Star Demon Clan's Immortal-Demon Laozu.

After sending envoys to investigate, they learned that the Laozu of other races had also not returned; all clans and sects were suspicious of one another, all in a panic like ants on a hot pan, and the Star Demon Clan grew even more anxious.

If the Laozu were not ambushed, then what had happened?

Quickly.

The news that the Immortal-Demons and Divine-Demons of the Yongxing Realm had vanished for two days without communication spread across the entire Yongxing Realm.

After envoys from all clans and sects engaged in candid talks, they finally confirmed: the Divine-Demons had not returned—they were all out of contact.

Once confirmed, every clan, every sect—including the strongest power in the Yongxing Realm, the Star Demon Clan—panicked.

This was over forty Divine-Demons, among them even one Immortal-Demon…

"Could they all be dead?"

A being of the Yongxing Realm speculated, his whole body chilled, his scalp prickling as if about to burst.

Instantly, silence fell—so quiet a pin could be heard dropping.

It was clear: upon hearing this speculation, every listener turned pale, especially the Star Demon Clan and other invading clans and sects, their faces grim.

If the Laozu truly perished in that world, it could only mean one thing.

That world was terrifyingly powerful, possessing the strength to effortlessly obliterate over forty Divine-Demons—and slay even an Immortal-Demon.

An Immortal-Demon being is not something you can kill at will.

To reach such a state, even peers find it nearly impossible to kill them in a short time; if an Immortal-Demon chooses to flee, few peers can catch and slay him.

Yet the truth was, the Star Demon Clan's Immortal-Demon Laozu was almost certainly dead.

To kill an Immortal-Demon being, the killer must be an Immortal-Demon of extreme power, one who has walked far along the Immortal-Demon path.

Does that world harbor an Immortal-Demon of extreme power?!

Or worse—could there be beings stronger than Immortal-Demons?!

As the existing clues were pursued, once this thought arose, the Star Demon Clan and all other clans and sects could no longer sit still.

If true, that world might retaliate against the Yongxing Realm, bringing great calamity to it.

Boom!

The hidden depths of the Yongxing Realm, the Star Demon Clan, and other great clans and sects all emerged.

In the face of such a great event, only they could stand firm and oversee the situation.

This day marked the third day since the Divine-Demons of the Yongxing Realm had departed for that world.

The Immortal-Demons and Divine-Demons of the Yongxing Realm either broke their seclusion, or shattered their blood-sealed coffins of suspended animation, emerging from their seals.

Nine days' worth of colossal divine radiance surged into the heavens, shaking sky and earth—each beam of light was an Immortal-Demon, totaling five, alongside many Divine-Demons on the verge of becoming Immortal-Demons.

Without exception.

Each was a titan who once dominated the Yongxing Realm, leaving behind legendary fame.

Similar scenes unfolded across other worlds that had invaded Earth.

Each world's ancient, sealed, or secluded elders emerged, their thoughts mirroring those of the Yongxing Realm: they suspected Earth harbored some powerful force or great horror that had claimed their world's Divine-Demons.

Yet they did not yet know that not only their own world's Divine-Demons and Immortal-Demons had gone silent—so had those of other worlds.

And not just one—altogether, five worlds' Divine-Demons and Immortal-Demons were out of contact.

…

Earth.

While the Yongxing Realm and other otherworlds took action, Earth was taking action too.

China, Nan City.

Gao Xiang Hong held his phone, chatting with the big shots in his group chat.

Great Sage Mi Tian: 【Xiang Hong, have you heard anything from Kamikawa Mitsu?】

Tian Xie Sword Immortal: 【Any news?】

Immortal King with Chronic Rheumatism: 【Same question.】

During the otherworld invasion, Gao Xiang Hong had appealed to the big shots in the group and sent them live satellite feeds, so they had witnessed Kamikawa Mitsu's battle with the otherworld's Immortal-Demons firsthand.

That day was a miraculous one for Great Sage Mi Tian and the others—they felt as if they were dreaming.

An Immortal-Demon under twenty years old!!

The shock of Kamikawa Mitsu's power and youth left them stunned.

They still remembered: when the group first learned of Kamikawa Mitsu from Gao Xiang Hong, the entire chat remained silent for a long while.

After a long pause.

Xi Tian Mo Yao Consort: 【Is this the prodigy of the Initial Realm? This is insane—did he start cultivating in the womb? Even ten months in the womb is absurd.】

Great Sage Mi Tian: 【Maybe he wasn't in the womb for just ten months—perhaps hundreds of years. I recall Xiang Hong mentioned a myth from the Initial Realm: how Nezha's mother carried him for years.】

I suspect Kamikawa Mitsu was carried in the womb for hundreds of years.

No, I really want to ask Kamikawa Mitsu right now: did you spend hundreds or even thousands of years in the womb?

Or is the way years are counted in the Initial World different from ours—so that eighteen years there equals eighteen thousand years here?

It doesn't seem likely to be a difference in year-counting; otherwise, how old would Xiang Hong be? Zero point zero zero zero zero zero…?

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: 【... Asking how long Kamikawa Mitsu was pregnant? Miti Dasheng Jun, I feel you're courting death.】

Xi Tian Mo Yao: 【The Initial World serves as the main current of the River of Time... Indeed, it's extraordinary. Truly powerful enough to make me blush. I truly wish to visit the Initial World and exchange insights with their sword cultivators.】

Gui Hong Mo Zu: 【My heavens, Kamikawa Mitsu's talent—absolute number one in all history and present in our world. It's not just crushing the contemporary prodigies; even the elder generation would be crushed into shit by him.】

Da Huang Tian Zun: 【I thought Xiang Hong's talent was already extraordinarily rare, but now I see one mountain towers higher than another.】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【Not just one mountain higher than another—when you compare Xiang Hong to Kamikawa Mitsu, the mountain is so much higher it vanishes into the horizon. Xiang Hong probably isn't even worth a glance in his eyes.】

I suddenly recall the things Xiang Hong once wanted to say to the prodigies of our world. Now I realize I can say those same words back to Xiang Hong.】

Xiang Hong, you're still young. While you're young, don't waste your time.

Don't stay up till four or five a. m. chasing women, and don't keep indulging in group activities. Put more time into your cultivation, and strive to catch up to Kamikawa Mitsu's footsteps.】

Xi Tian Mo Yao Fei: 【Miti Dasheng Jun, I just realized you're not just courting death—you're also brutally sarcastic.】
