Peerless Taoist

"Tell me, where did you come from?" Lu Yu asked in a deep voice.    

Gan Yu did not dare to hide anything and immediately knelt on the ground, revealing his background.    

"It started ten years ago..."    

Gan Yu sank into a deep memory.    

Ten years ago, he had already broken through to the Heavenly State and became the master of Taiyuan Heaven.    

Within Taiyuan Heaven, there were countless sects, and these sects all submitted to an organization called the Cultivator Alliance. Gan Yu was the leader of the Cultivator Alliance.    

He had almost controlled all the cultivation resources in Taiyuan Heaven. Although there were other Heavenly State experts in Taiyuan Heaven, they were unable to pose a threat to Gan Yu.    

"I was in seclusion, so I left the matters of the Cultivator Alliance to my disciple. However, I never thought that one day, my disciple would wake me up from my seclusion..."    

As Gan Yu recalled the scene that day, a deep fear flashed across his eyes.    

"What happened?" Lu Yu asked.    

"My disciple discovered a Holy Demon Door, which seemed to lead to a strange universe. Demonic Qi was constantly being emitted from it, and all the disciples who went to explore it ended up dying."    

As Gan Yu recounted the past, his eyes were still filled with fear.    

"There was a group of demons appearing there. They took over the surrounding creatures, and no matter if they were humans or demons, they all became their prey..."    

Lu Yu felt a deep chill from the words of Gan Yuanzi. This Heavenly State expert actually revealed a terrifying expression.    

"Most of those devils appeared in the form of souls. They possess the bodies of living creatures and hide in the crowd. It is not easy to discover them. When I found out about this, it was already too late."    

Gan Yuanzi said in a deep voice, "The Holy Demon Gate is out of control. Countless devils have appeared from inside. I immediately sealed it, but it was already too late."    

"Many sects have already fallen. From the Master to the ordinary disciples, they have all been possessed by the devils. They gathered enough numbers and directly shattered my seal. They began to construct the complete Holy Demon Gate."    

"After that, many strange things happened..."    

"Strange things?"    

"For example, a loving couple. The husband suddenly killed his wife and child. He was also a righteous Master of a sect. He raised a knife and killed everyone in the sect. Then, in front of everyone else, he chewed and swallowed the flesh and blood of his family members..."    

"There were also some sects that, at night, would always hear some strange cries. Then, there would always be disciples who mysteriously disappeared. They went to look for them, but they were all fruitless. Some disciples planned to form a group, but after a night passed, more than ten people actually died in the same room. Their deaths were miserable, as if their flesh and blood had been devoured..."    

"A few prosperous cities gradually became uninhabited areas. When I went to the place where the Door of the Holy Demon was, I saw an unforgettable scene …"    

Qian Yuanzi had seen an extremely terrifying scene. Even though he had been subdued by Lu Yu, he still could not forget that fear.    

"Countless flesh and blood built a huge altar. The Door of the Holy Demon was completed. The true bodies of the demons appeared. Their strength was incomparably tyrannical. Many demons had the strength of the Heaven Realm! I knew that the situation was over, so I quickly brought a group of my trusted aides and escaped from there. I wandered around."    

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Qian Yuanzi's face. "The universe outside is mostly filled with resources. Most of them are occupied by the great forces. We were unwilling to be subdued by others, so we wandered around and found this place in the chaotic land."    

He seemed to be worried that Lu Yu would misunderstand and explained, "But don't worry, Your Majesty. I am willing to submit to Your Majesty. I will do anything."    

Lu Yu waved his hand. He was thinking about what Qian Yuanzi had said.    

Qian Yuanzi had been completely subdued by Lu Yu. It was impossible for him to lie.    

Lu Yu felt a chill down his spine. Could it be that there really existed such a demon? Even the Heaven Realm was extremely common.    

"How could this be?" Lu Yu muttered.    

"Actually, your world has been targeted by the demons for a long time." Qingniu's voice came out from the Eight Trigrams Furnace.    

"Do you know where the ancient demon outside of the Mountain of Two Realms came from?"    

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.    

He also wanted to know about this matter.    

It was rumored that in the Desolate Era, there were not that many fiendish devils on this piece of land.    

It was a mysterious era. There were very few documents that could be passed down to this day. However, Lu Yu could still feel the glory of the Desolate Era from the original source of the Desolate World.    

"Actually, this world was originally good. The people of the Transcending Heaven Sect wanted to tarnish the reputation of the Tao Ancestor, so they sent out disciples to recklessly occupy the surrounding stars. However, that was only one of their goals."    

Qing Niu's voice became serious. "That was to transform this place into the nest of the devil race, and let countless devils descend here!"    

"Don't underestimate these devils. They came from a strange universe and descended here with the souls of phantoms. They took over the souls of living beings and gradually stabilized their foundations."    

"You mean that they descended here in the form of souls?" Lu Yu's eyebrows twitched.    

"That's right!"    

Qing Niu said in a deep voice, "The strange universe they came from was strange and complicated. It was completely different from the myriad of worlds. The restrictions they needed to come to our world were extremely great!"    

"That's why the devil race sent out some weak existences first and descended in the form of souls. Then, they took over the souls of living beings. After accumulating enough strength, they would construct a Holy Demon Door to send the devils from the strange universe here."    

Hearing Qingniu's words, Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.    

The question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time seemed to have been answered at this moment.    

When he was in the Lower Realm, the ancient demon that Lu Yu had encountered were all invisible and formless. They appeared in the form of souls.    

These ancient demons were completely different from the ancient demons outside of the Two Realms Mountain!    

Especially when he was in the Lower Realm, the two Demon Ancestors that he had met in the sky and the earth were in a completely vicious state, while the ancient demons outside of the sky appeared in the form of ferocious beasts.    

"Once, I was controlled by the people of the Transcending Heaven Sect. When I first descended here, this world was not like this. At that time, Li Xinghe was in a deep sleep, and he did not know about this matter, but I saw it clearly."    

"In the Prehistoric Era, there were many famous mountains, wonderful seas, and countless mysterious creatures and gods. There was the dual-eyed Bright Bird, the Bright Beast that guarded the Great Wilderness, and the Dragon Roc that ate dragons... This was a mysterious world, and this was actually a place that had the Origin of an A-grade world!"    

"After that, the people of the Transcending Heaven Sects set up a Holy Demon Door here..."
