Chapter 574: The Development of the Xuanhuang Sect's Divine Position System, in the Mortal World

"A Human Race Dharma Treasure Official Seal?"

"To think such a Dharma Treasure could appear?"

"No wonder the Human Race has been frantically building cities during this period."

Hearing this, Demon Person Xiong and the other Demon Race Cultivators widened their eyes, their hearts churning with turbulent waves; they were simply shocked beyond measure.

Even though they had already overestimated the Human Race before, they had not expected to still have underestimated them.

If every city of the Human Race were like this, then when the cities of the Human Race covered every corner of the world, wouldn't it mean they truly had no place left to stay?

No wonder this Great Vehicle Cultivator was so desperate.

The Xuanhuang Sect, having mastered such power, was truly too tyrannical.

Moreover, the other party had no intention of giving the Demon Race Cultivators any chance of survival; they were bound to exterminate them completely.

"Now you know, don't you."

"Basically, we of the Demon Race have no chance at all in the Luying World."

"Once the Human Race builds Human cities all over the world, they will gather immense Luck."

"Then, the Human Cultivators who hold the Official Seals will be able to control the power of a region."

"By then, the entire world will be under the control of the Human Race."

"No matter where we hide, it will be of no use."

"No matter how large the world is, there will be no place for us to stand."

The Great Vehicle Realm Demon Race Cultivator said with great helplessness.

It also had not expected that the renowned Demon Race would actually be forced to such a degree, already driven to a dead end.

This feeling was extremely stifling, yet there was nothing to be done.

Because the strength of the Human Race had reached a degree beyond imagination.

In fact, this was the Divine Position system created by Zhou Sui.

As the Luck of the Xuanhuang Sect became increasingly powerful, the might of this system also became increasingly monstrous.

Especially the Official Seals in various places; due to generations of officials constantly tempering them and the Luck continuously rising, their power was also extremely formidable.

When the Luck of the Xuanhuang Sect shrouded the entire world, then gods and officials could be conferred in every part of the world.

In this way, any Alien Cultivator, no matter where they hid, would have nowhere to escape.

"In that case, we must take action against the Human Race before they have completely mastered the Luying World?"

"Even if the Xuanhuang Sect is very powerful and has strength in numbers."

"But they control so many worlds, and their power is dispersed."

"I estimate they don't have much power that can be projected into our world."

"After all, the distance between worlds is so vast, boundless and endless."

"If they want to teleport over, I'm afraid it also costs quite a lot."

A Demon Race Cultivator speculated.

It felt that it was not such a simple matter for the Xuanhuang Sect to teleport Human Cultivators from other places over.

If it truly cost a huge amount, then they would have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

After all, this world was ultimately their home turf; there was no reason they would lose to the Human Race.

"Normally speaking, that is indeed the case."

"But the Xuanhuang Sect is not a normal Human sect."

"They are incomparably skilled at setting up Cross-Boundary Teleportation Arrays."

"And the Xuanhuang Sect is extremely wealthy; they have everything one could need in terms of materials for various Cross-Boundary Teleportation Arrays."

"It is said that within the territory ruled by the Xuanhuang Sect, basically every city has a Teleportation Array."

"They can even open Teleportation Arrays infinitely, without needing to worry about how many Spirit Stones are consumed."

"So as long as the Xuanhuang Sect is willing, they can open a Teleportation Array at any time to teleport Human Cultivators from other worlds over; this is also one of the Dharma Treasures by which they are invincible."

That Great Vehicle Demon Cultivator said with great helplessness.

It had no idea how the Xuanhuang Sect managed to do it.

For ordinary forces, wanting to find some materials for a Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array was an incomparably difficult matter.

It often required thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to accomplish.

But the Xuanhuang Sect, on the other hand, could casually bring out large quantities of materials for Cross-Boundary Teleportation Arrays; they were truly wealthy beyond measure.

It could not even fathom where the Xuanhuang Sect obtained so many Array materials.

It was simply too exaggerated.

If it were just this, that would be one thing, but every time a Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array is activated, it requires the consumption of a large amount of Spirit Stones, or even Immortal Crystals.

One might ask, which force in the world could afford to consume so many Spirit Stones and Immortal Crystals?

A Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array is simply a money pit.

It is not something any force can bear.

It is precisely because of this that, over countless years in the Mortal World, only a cross-boundary force like the Xuanhuang Sect has appeared.

Other forces can only reign supreme within their own worlds.

They are unable to extend the tentacles of their power into other worlds.

"There is such a thing?"

"They can actually open Cross-Boundary Teleportation Arrays infinitely?"

"And easily mobilize Human Cultivators from other worlds to come over?"

"If that's the case, how are we supposed to fight?"

"Doesn't that mean we are using the power of one Luying World to contend against fifteen thousand worlds?"

Many Demon race Cultivators were speechless.

It was no wonder this Great Vehicle senior was so desperate.

If they didn't understand the truth of the matter, perhaps they would have had more or less the courage to contend against the Human Race Xuanhuang Sect.

But after thoroughly understanding the power of the Xuanhuang Sect, they were completely desperate.

There was simply no way to break the situation; they could only wait for death slowly.

"Is the Xuanhuang Sect really so overbearing that the races of other worlds haven't opposed the Xuanhuang Sect?"

"Especially our Demon race's main base, the Prison Demon World; could it be they have no intention of taking action against the Xuanhuang Sect?"

Demon Person Xiong couldn't help but ask.

It knew that in the Endless Void of the Mortal World, there existed countless worlds.

Great Thousand Worlds like theirs were also countless.

Among them, the main base of the Demon race was the Prison Demon World.

It was rumored that this Great Thousand World could communicate with the Immortal World and often received support from the Demon race of the Immortal World, thereby nurturing a large number of high-level Demon race Cultivators.

The Prison Demon World would even frequently invade other worlds, leading to the destruction of one world after another.

Such a powerful Demon race world, if it knew of the existence of the Xuanhuang Sect, would surely fight fiercely.

"The Prison Demon World has long known of the existence of the Xuanhuang Sect."

"But as far as the current situation goes, the Prison Demon World is also helpless."

"After all, the Xuanhuang Sect possesses at least a million Great Vehicle Cultivators, and there might even be True Immortals."

"It is said that the Prison Demon World once had high-level Cultivators launch a war against the Xuanhuang Sect."

"Regrettably, it was all to no avail, and they were wiped out by the Xuanhuang Sect at the first opportunity, unable to stir up any waves at all."

The Great Vehicle Realm Demon race Cultivator explained.

In fact, among the various worlds of the Mortal World, there existed forces resisting the Xuanhuang Sect.

Resistance in various places was even rising one after another.

The problem was that the Xuanhuang Sect was currently in its prime, and its Luck was constantly rising.

No matter how angry other forces were, they were helpless.

They could only watch helplessly as the Xuanhuang Sect continued to develop and grow stronger.

Having reached this point, the Xuanhuang Sect was already unstoppable by anyone.

"So, the Xuanhuang Sect is already the absolute hegemon of the Mortal World?"

"Even the top-ranked Great Thousand Worlds are no match for the Xuanhuang Sect."

Demon Person Xiong didn't know what to say.

It had originally thought there might be a chance to request outside help.

It never expected that even the outside help had been beaten into unconsciousness and a complete mess; there was no hope left at all.

It could be said that now they could only rely on themselves.

"That's right, for the current plan, we can only leave the Luying World."

"Although the Xuanhuang Sect is indeed powerful and invincible."

"But the space of the Mortal World is also boundless, nurturing countless worlds."

"These worlds are not just Great Thousand Worlds; there also exist Middle Thousand Worlds and Small Thousand Worlds."

"So if we want to survive, we have no choice but to leave here and sneak into other worlds."

"Especially those worlds that the Xuanhuang Sect has not yet discovered; these worlds are the places where we can rest in peace."

The Great Vehicle Realm Demon race Cultivator said in a deep voice, stating their solution: to flee the Luying World, head to other worlds, and find a new habitat for the Demon race.

Only in this way could their Demon race survive and leave behind appropriate seeds.

Only then would there be a chance for a comeback in the future.

Although doing this was indeed a bit humiliating, it was better than staying here and being completely wiped out.

"We understand."

Hearing this, many Demon race Cultivators couldn't help but nod; to be honest, this was indeed their only way to survive.

While the Xuanhuang Sect had not yet formed a siege, they could leave the Luying World.

If they really waited until the opponent's momentum was established, I am afraid that even wanting to leave the Luying World would be impossible.

But just at this moment, before they had even decided how to evacuate, suddenly, ships of the Xuanhuang Sect appeared in the sky, covering the sky and blocking the sun, dense and numerous, numbering in the thousands, and instantly arrived above this valley.

"Haha, Demon race remnants, we finally found you."

"I didn't expect you to be hiding in this valley; you certainly made us search hard."

"You have caused our Human Race quite a bit of trouble during this time, but everything is over."

"Go to hell, all of you; only Diyu is the place suitable for you to stay."

At this very moment, the voices of Human Race Cultivators came across, looking down from above.

This made every Demon race Cultivator's face change drastically, their hearts and gallbladders splitting.

They never imagined that their hiding place would be found by the Human Race so quickly.

To be honest, the speed at which they were exposed was simply too fast; they had no idea how the Human Race found their location.

Even if they wanted to flee now, it was already too late.

The only way to survive was to fight the enemy to the death and perish together.

In that case, a small portion of the Demon race Cultivators might still survive.

"Damn Human Race Cultivators, actually trying to exterminate our Demon race."

"You Human Race are too overbearing; you will not have a good end."

"Just wait for us; the Immortal World Demon Race already knows about this matter, and soon the Immortal World will send reinforcements down."

"By then, you Human Race will not be arrogant for much longer."

"Afterward, what you face will be Demon Race True Immortals, and you will not be comfortable for long either."

Many Demon Race Cultivators were both shocked and angry, cursing loudly.

They knew they were completely finished, but they were unwilling to show weakness.

It seemed they were using anger to mask the fear deep within their hearts.

"There is no need for you to worry about that; this is not something for you, who are about to die, to consider."

"Heh, you are simply ignorant. What of a mere Demon Race True Immortal? Do you really think our Xuanhuang Sect has no True Immortals?"

"It is not as if True Immortals have not appeared in the world to deal with our Xuanhuang Sect, but none of them could do anything to us."

"A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well, how could you know the greatness of our Xuanhuang Sect."

"Alright, enough nonsense, send them on their way. We have already delayed too long. After finishing them, there is still the next Demon Race nest. This time we will wipe out the Demon Race nests of the entire world, leaving not a single piece of armor behind."

Many Human Race Cultivators discussed among themselves, sneering repeatedly, unmoved.

Rumble~~

The next second, they immediately attacked with all their might. Terrifying power descended from the sky like a falling meteorite, containing the might to destroy the world; even a Great Vehicle Cultivator could not withstand it.

Many Demon Race Cultivators were incomparably desperate, as if they had encountered a world-destroying storm.

Facing such power was like facing a natural disaster; it was simply impossible to block.

Even the mere aftermath of the power was enough to make them vanish into thin air.

In just a few minutes, the Demon Race Cultivators in the entire valley were wiped out.

The originally unruly Demon Race Cultivator Demon Person Xiong was no exception.

It did not know what had happened at all, then felt a burst of intense pain, and then its consciousness fell into boundless Darkness, knowing nothing of what followed.

At this very moment, this valley had been completely razed to the ground, turned into scorched earth.

All Demon Race Cultivators were wiped out, leaving not a single piece of armor behind.

Seeing this scene, many Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators felt very satisfied, because this time there were no fish that slipped through the net, which could be considered a relatively successful operation.

"Not bad, it seems we can also wipe out all the Demon Race Cultivators in this world."

"Ever since the Sect Master refined the Dharma Treasure Official Seal, these bugs hiding in the dark have had nowhere to hide."

A Great Vehicle Cultivator felt very satisfied.

Originally, before the Official Seal appeared, these Demon Race Cultivators hid in the dark, and almost no one could find their tracks.

The other party could also carry out assassination operations at any time, simply doing whatever they pleased.

But after the Official Seal appeared, infinite Luck shrouded all directions, and any monsters and demons had to reveal their forms.

They could also easily find the whereabouts of these Alien cultivators and wipe them out in one go.

"But I am still a little worried about the reaction from the Immortal World."

"Our Xuanhuang Sect has developed far too massively now."

"Those ancient forces in the Immortal World may not be happy to see our Xuanhuang Sect develop like this."

"Perhaps they might send many True Immortals down to the mortal realm later."

Many Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators were very worried about this point.

Normally, the many worlds of the Mortal World could no longer be opponents of the Xuanhuang Sect.

Only enemies from the Immortal World could possibly shake the ruling status of the Xuanhuang Sect.

"Don't worry, with the Sect Master guarding us, even if the Immortal World sends many True Immortals down, it will be of no use."

"It is not as if we haven't encountered Immortal World True Immortals before, and they were still easily dealt with by the Sect Master."

"No one can obstruct the development of our Xuanhuang Sect in the Mortal World, not even Immortals."

A Great Vehicle Cultivator said proudly.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.

…………

At this very moment, after the Demon Race Cultivator Demon Person Xiong died, its Soul was instantly swallowed by the Hell Gate, and then its departed soul arrived in the Diyu plane of the Luying World.

In fact, the souls of living beings who die in various worlds are all absorbed by the Diyu plane.

This is to prevent them from remaining in the Mortal World and wreaking havoc on the world.

For Zhou Sui, creating a Diyu plane is also very simple; it only requires a drop of his own blood.

"Wait, didn't I die?"

"What place is this exactly?"

Suddenly, Demon Person Xiong opened its eyes, looking at the strange environment around it with extreme confusion.

Now its memory still remained at the moment of death; it had no idea what had happened.

It looked at the surrounding environment curiously and was immediately stunned.

Because the place it was currently in was incomparably strange; this was a place it had never been to before.

Above the sky, a black sun appeared, incomparably huge.

But this was not an ordinary black sun; it was like a festering black sphere, containing endless wronged souls, as if countless evil ghosts were roaring.

The sunlight shining down from it did not have any warmth, nor would it produce any heat.

Instead, it made people incomparably cold, like a bone-piercing chill.

Such light was even like radiation.

If it were a flesh-and-blood lifeform, it would definitely rot at the first moment, turning into a pile of dry bones.

As for the surface of the earth, there were no plants growing there at all; everywhere was a stretch of desolation and dead silence.

Looking out, it was a gray, hazy world.

It seemed as if there were no signs of any life existing.

Terrible, violent winds blew all around, with flying sand and rolling stones, whistling and howling.

The air was permeated with an unpleasant scent of sulfur.

In the distance, huge, towering volcanoes appeared, erupting with terrifying molten lava from time to time.

It was as if this were a world of ice and fire.

"Heh heh, Demon Person Xiong, welcome to the Diyu world."

Just at this moment, huge demonic creatures suddenly appeared in the distance; they appeared beside Demon Person Xiong at once, looking at this newly arrived companion with great interest.

At the same time, their bodies were permeated with evil, strange, and Darkness auras, which made one's heart tremble with fear.

This also made Demon Person Xiong feel bone-chilling cold and terror, wishing it could turn around and run away.

But very quickly, it discovered that this group of strange creatures that had suddenly appeared seemed slightly familiar.

It was as if it had seen them somewhere before.

"Wait, aren't you all already dead? How could you appear here?"

Demon Person Xiong was instantly bewildered.

Looking at this group of demonic Cultivators that had suddenly appeared before it, it immediately remembered that this group of demonic Cultivators had been killed at the very first moment when the Xuanhuang Sect invaded, and they had been dead for who knows how long.

But it never expected that it would actually have the day where it would see its companions again.

It immediately felt its scalp go numb, thinking that perhaps it was experiencing some kind of hallucination; it was simply too strange.

"That's right, we died long ago; this is the world after death, named Diyu."

"And it's not just us; could it be that you, Demon Person Xiong, are not also dead?"

This group of demonic Cultivators sneered and reminded Demon Person Xiong.

They had already lost count of how many fellows like this they had seen.

After all, when the other party enters the Diyu world, they lose their self-awareness and have no idea that they are already dead.

It is only after a very long time that they realize they have actually died.

"Impossible, how could I be dead?"

"If I were really dead, I should have lost my self-awareness long ago."

"Why can I still think now?"

Demon Person Xiong said with some disbelief.

Although deep down it had some suspicions that perhaps it had truly fallen.

But now it was so vividly alive and still able to think.

Therefore, it felt that it might not necessarily be dead, and perhaps it had just arrived in a strange place.

"Not clear, anyway, after dying in that world, everyone enters the Diyu world."

"We have already turned into ghosts, turned into the evil spirits of this world."

"As for why we can still think, that is because our Longevity has not yet reached its end."

A demonic ghost spoke up.

"Ghosts also have Longevity?"

Hearing this, Demon Person Xiong was a bit confused; after all, it had only just died not long ago and had not yet fully adapted to its identity as an evil ghost, so it did not understand everything about evil ghosts.

But the group before it were all old ghosts, so naturally, they knew the situation of evil ghosts like the back of their hands.

"Of course there is; humans have Longevity, and ghosts naturally have Longevity too."

"Once the Longevity is exhausted, we will lose all our memories and only our instincts will remain."

"Turning into walking corpses, turning into something like a Puppet, with only the pure body of an evil ghost remaining."

"In the Diyu world, similar evil ghosts are simply countless."

"Don't think that you can still maintain your self-awareness now."

"But it won't take long before you gradually lose your memories, and even lose your self-awareness."

"In the end, you will turn into an evil ghost wandering in Diyu."

This demonic ghost laughed with a "heh heh."

It was not intimidating Demon Person Xiong, but stating a fact.

In the beginning, many demonic ghosts entering the Diyu world did not believe this point and thought they were still alive.

After all, as demonic Cultivators, they often lost their fleshly bodies and survived in the state of a primordial spirit.

For example, Heavenly Demons are this type of Soul creature.

They also thought that perhaps they had turned into Soul creatures.

Little did they know, they were different from Heavenly Demons and were completely unable to protect their own Soul.

Once they suffered heavy injuries, the ghost's Longevity would be consumed rapidly.

If the Longevity were exhausted, then their memories would disappear rapidly, and their self-awareness would also dissipate rapidly.

At that time, they would be swallowed by the Diyu world and become a part of the Diyu world.

At that moment, they would truly and completely turn into nothingness.

It was precisely because of this that, unless it was a last resort, they would not easily fight with powerful enemies.

If they were injured, that would damage their own Longevity and accelerate their own death.

"Diyu world?"

"Isn't this the land of death from the legends?"

"Does such a world of death actually exist in this world?"

"If it truly exists, why are the predecessors of the Demon race unaware of the existence of Diyu?"

Hearing this, Demon Person Xiong found it increasingly difficult to accept.

Because according to the heritage of the Demon race, the place known as the Hell World was simply fabricated.

To die is to die; there is simply no place of belonging after death.

Once dead, one will completely turn into nothingness and return to the depths of the world's Origin.

Up until now, no Cultivator of the Demon race has ever seen the Hell World.

But now, after dying, they had actually entered Diyu; it was truly inconceivable.
