Chapter 711: The Source of Everything

"Everyone, follow me to inspect various parts of the island and see if we can find anything unusual."

The several Demon Kings immediately took action.

They searched the Ten Thousand Demon Island separately and soon made a discovery.

"Dragon King, there is something unusual here!" the Tiger Demon King Jin Mao Hou shouted loudly from a valley in the northern part of the island.

Canghai Zhenlong rushed over quickly and immediately sensed a strange aura.

This was an extremely faint evil fluctuation; if one did not perceive it carefully, it would be impossible to detect.

But it was precisely this subtle influence that was imperceptibly magnifying the negative thoughts in the hearts of all living beings.

Anger, hatred, slaughter, revenge—these dark emotions were continuously magnified by an invisible force until they completely devoured reason.

"There really is a problem." Anger flashed in the eyes of Canghai Zhenlong.

"Someone is manipulating things in the dark, inciting a war between us and the human race."

The Eagle Demon King Yin Yi descended from the sky: "Dragon King, I have also discovered similar evil auras in several other places."

"And these auras all seem to point in the same direction—that ancient temple in the center of the island."

Canghai Zhenlong nodded: "I have this feeling too; that temple is very likely the source of everything."

"Let's go, let's take a look."

The several Demon Kings flew toward the direction of the temple.

But when they approached the temple, they discovered that it was shrouded by a layer of powerful barrier.

This layer of barrier appeared pale gold and radiated pure and powerful energy fluctuations.

Even for powerhouses at the Demon King level, it felt difficult to break through.

"What kind of barrier is this?" Jin Mao Hou extended a claw to test it, but was bounced back.

"It feels like a protective Dharma Array set up by an ancient expert, specifically used to block evil forces."

Canghai Zhenlong carefully observed the patterns of the barrier: "The style of this Dharma Array... I have seen records of it in ancient books."

"It should be the handiwork of a righteous expert from the ancient era, with at least several thousand years of history."

Just as the several Demon Kings were puzzled, an elegant figure flew over from afar.

It was a Nine-Tailed White Fox, and every tail radiated pure light.

Her appearance was somewhat similar to Bai Suxin, but her temperament was more dignified and elegant.

"Senior Demon Kings, please listen to me." The Nine-Tailed White Fox landed before the demons and bowed respectfully.

"I am Bai Suxue of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, the younger sister of Bai Suxin."

Canghai Zhenlong recognized her: "So it is the little princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan; what are you doing here?"

"I have come to reveal the truth." Bai Suxue's expression was solemn.

"This war, including everything before our eyes, is related to a secret that my clan has guarded for generations."

She took a deep breath and began to recount the hidden history that the Nine-Tailed Fox clan had passed down for thousands of years.

"Do the seniors know that this temple on Ten Thousand Demon Island is not an ordinary place of worship?"

Jin Mao Hou shook his head: "We all thought it was just an ancient ruin, and we rarely paid attention to it."

"You are wrong." Bai Suxue shook her head and said.

"That temple is actually the Seal Core established by an ancient righteous expert."

"It is used to trap an extremely terrifying existence—the residual consciousness of an ancient Demon God."

Once these words were spoken, the several Demon Kings were all shocked.

"Demon God? That terrifying existence from legend who almost destroyed the entire Immortal Realm of cultivation?" Yin Yi said in disbelief.

"That is correct." Bai Suxue nodded in confirmation.

"Although the Demon God's physical body was destroyed back then, his consciousness was too powerful to be completely annihilated."

"The ancient experts could only seal him in this temple and set up layers of protection."

"And my Nine-Tailed Fox clan is the guardian of this Seal for generations."

Canghai Zhenlong suddenly realized: "No wonder the Nine-Tailed Fox clan chose to settle on Ten Thousand Demon Island; it turns out it was to guard the Seal."

"But why is this situation happening now?"

Bai Suxue's expression was heavy: "The Seal has gradually weakened over thousands of years, and the Demon God's consciousness has begun to awaken."

"He cannot directly break the Seal, so he adopted more insidious means."

"By spreading evil auras, he influences the minds of all living beings on the island, inciting a war between the human and demon races."

"The negative energy generated by the war will be absorbed by him to strengthen his own power, eventually breaking the Seal and descending once more."

Jin Mao Hou roared in anger: "Damn it! We have all been used!"

"Those fallen kin have all become sacrifices for the Demon God's resurrection!"

Yin Yi was also so angry that his feathers stood on end: "This despicable fellow, to actually toy with our minds!"

Canghai Zhenlong remained calm: "It is not too late now that we understand the truth; we must immediately stop this senseless war."

They returned to the battlefield quickly and ordered all attacks to cease.

But what made the Demon Kings despair was that the warriors of their clans had already been influenced too deeply by the evil arts.

No matter how the Demon Kings tried to persuade them, those ordinary demon beasts still attacked the human race with red eyes.

"Roar! Kill all the humans!" a bear demon roared crazily.

"They are our sworn enemies! We must make them pay in blood!"

"The Demon Kings must have been bought off by the humans!" another wolf demon roared.

"We cannot listen to them!"

Facing this situation, the Demon Kings could only use forceful measures.

The Vast Sea True Dragon released a powerful dragon might, intimidating all the nearby demonic beasts.

"All of you, calm down!" His voice resounded across the battlefield like thunder.

"Your minds have all been controlled by evil arts! This war itself is a conspiracy!"

The powerful dragon might indeed had a certain effect, and some of the demonic beasts began to regain their senses.

But there were still many demonic beasts that continued to attack madly, completely ignoring the warning.

Golden-Haired Roar and Silver Wing also released the pressure of Demon Kings, coordinating with the Vast Sea True Dragon to suppress the rioting clansmen.

After some effort, they finally temporarily subdued the demonic beasts that had lost their senses.

"Bai Suxue, what is the situation now?" the Vast Sea True Dragon asked.

"Where is your sister Bai Suxin now? She should understand the specific situation of the Seal better than we do."

Bai Suxue's face turned pale: "My sister and Lin Xuan of the human race entered the temple together, attempting to stop the Demon God from resurrecting."

"But there has been no news from them so far; I am worried they have encountered danger."

"Moreover, the barrier around the temple seems to be strengthening; people outside cannot get in at all."

The Vast Sea True Dragon looked toward the direction of the temple, where blood-colored light soared into the sky; clearly, a fierce battle was underway.

"I cannot sit idly by." He made up his mind.

"Golden-Haired Roar, you take a team of elite demonic beasts to maintain order here and prevent the clansmen from rioting again."

"Silver Wing, you go and contact the other Demon Kings who remain clear-headed, and have them stabilize their respective clans."

"I am going to the temple myself to see if I can help Bai Suxin and the others."

The two Demon Kings acknowledged the order and left.

Bai Suxue hurriedly said: "Senior Dragon King, please take me with you."

"I have a deeper understanding of the Seal and might be of help."

The Vast Sea True Dragon nodded in agreement: "Very well, let us go together."

"But we must be careful; if even Lin Xuan's Creation Bloodline cannot cope with it, then the Demon God's strength might be even greater than we imagined."
