The boundless ocean of the subconscious mind, capable of holding conversations between demons and demon lords.
A true world without boundaries would not see such things happen. Or perhaps the very interaction between humans and demons is, in itself, a transgression.
"Ha ha ha ha." The Demon Ape laughed, "With the return of the Demon Ancestor, the demon clan will have a chance to dominate all realms and invade the mortal world. Without the Demon Ancestor, the Ten Thousand Realms Burial Ground will be the eternal graveyard of the demon clan. The Demon Lord doesn't want him back I can't figure that out!"
He would never forget, Yu Beidou's last departing figure.
He, of course, could not forget the chilling prophecy of doom: “The world-ender is a demon!”
This is an immutable divination text passed down from generation to generation of diviners.
Although divination may be considered obsolete, although astrology masters scoff at it, and although Jiang Wang himself barely understands fortune-telling...
But he understood Yu Beidou.
He trusts Yu Beidou.
He approached this oracle with the utmost caution.
In fact, this is also the main reason why he came to investigate the Seven Hates Demon Lord and explore the Demon Realm today.
He wanted to know what kind of terrifying existence had driven Old Yu to burn down the Daoist temple, no matter the cost.
Though he had slain many demons on the borderlands, his understanding of the demon race was merely superficial, lacking any real depth.
But one thing is very clear—whether people believe in the divinations of fate or not, they all respect the threat posed by the Demon Ancestor. Whether people see the demon race as a threatening opponent or not, the legend of the Demon Ancestor's return must be taken seriously.
Throughout history, countless powerful humans have laid traps or attacked directly to encircle the Eight Demon Bodies and prevent the return of the Demon Ancestor.
Even if it's just a legend, even if there's only one in a billion chance.

There are those who have sacrificed themselves nearby, such as Yu Beidou who subdued the Blood Demon with his own life, and Tu Hu who spent a hundred years setting up a scheme to strip the Illusion Demon King of his mask. Further afield, there is Frost Immortal Monarch who died in battle while suppressing the Holy Demon Lord.

No one dared to allow that possibility.

The cataclysm that almost destroyed the world was instigated by the Demon Ancestor. To this day, it remains one of the greatest crises in human history.
Yuán gǔ bā xián zhī Wú Hàn gōng, jiùshì sǐ zài Mó Zǔ shǒu lǐ.
In ancient times, the Emperor of Heaven joined forces with the ancestors of Confucianism and Legalism to slay the Demon Ancestor and bring an end to the demonic tide.
And the ancient Emperor also died because of his injuries from the battle with the Demon Ancestor. After barely managing to quell the demon tide, he died of exhaustion.
Throughout this world, countless people have died because of the Demon Ancestor. From hardworking commoners to those at the pinnacle of transcendence, none were spared.
The ancient demon caves that can still be found today are a testament to the past.
Such a terrifying existence, who wouldn't fear it
Even a great being like the World-Honored One would harbor fear and trepidation when speaking of the demonic tide, its shadow still lingering.
Jiang Wang took the legend of the demon clan's extinction seriously, but based on his understanding of the demons, he only knew a few demon lords. As for the most feared, it was nothing more than the Demon Ancestor.
Even the Qi Hates Demon Lord, who now stands at the pinnacle of the Demonic Realm and is one of the Eight Great Demon Lords, intends to stop the return of the Demon Ancestor
Just like a powerful enemy nation, the current emperor, holding up an opposing flag, dares to rebel against the previous ruler, the Retired Emperor, who is uncertain if he can ever return.

For humanity, this is clearly good news.
But whether it's true or not, I dare not believe it.

“The path is long, and it's inevitable to make mistakes along the way.” Qihate Demon Lord shook his head and sighed softly: “This lord has always been confident, but I have to admit that I made a foolish mistake back then—I shouldn't have replaced the 《苦海永淪欲魔功》 with 《七恨魔功》, allowing myself to take over the position of Yu Mojun.”
The demon ape let out a snort, claiming in astonishment: "For the Demon Lord to replace the eternally unyielding 'Endless Hell Desire Demonic Art' and ascend to the ranks of the Eight Great Demon Lords is an unprecedented feat in the history of the demon race. To call this foolish If this were foolishness, then there would be no great achievements in the world!"
The Seven Hates Demon Lord said: "This process was indeed beyond imagination, even if I went through it ten thousand times, I might not be able to succeed again. But just because something is difficult to do doesn't mean that doing it is right. Even if it has the correctness in worldly terms, it doesn't mean it's your correct choice."
He pointed upward with his index finger, “Back then when I climbed up, I was simply climbing upwards. I didn’t believe the Demon Ancestor would return. I just wanted to reach the highest point. And the Demon Lord is at the highest position here. I thought I had no other choice.”
>
"Where's the problem" asked the Demon Ape.
>
“The problem lies within the legend,” Qihate Demon Lord said. “When the Eight Great Demonic Bodies unite and the Eight Great Demonic Arts converge, the Demon Ancestor will return. Have you ever thought about—how the Demon Ancestor returns And what will happen to the original Eight Great Demon Lords after the Demon Ancestor's return”
The Demon Ape seemed to have realized something: "Eight Great Demon Bodies merged into one, that is the body of the Demonic Ancestor The Eight Demon Lords are all going to be erased from themselves"
The Seventh Hate Demon Lord raised his eyes: "Or put it another way, that's the ultimate transcendence of the Eight Great Demonic Arts."
"Hearing this, it's indeed very tempting! I finally understand why the other demon lords are lining up to do so."
The Seven Hates Demon Lord said, "But why did you hesitate before the Heavenly Dao That is also a visible path of transcendence."
“It’s probably because I can’t settle down.” The Magic Ape, rooted to the ground like an anchor, smiled and said, “I grew up eating fire, and I don’t want to just swallow incense for the rest of my life.”
"You would not willingly be unfree, nor unwillingly be unself. This king is the same!" Qihate Demon Monarch's expression was calm: "This king has come all the way, grinding mountains and breaking seas, every step a thorn. I have never relied on anyone, nor have I seen heaven show mercy. Every blade of sword, every bullet, I have endured with my whole being. Every meal, every grain of rice, I have obtained myself! What does the Demon Ancestor have to do with me"
"Your Majesty is indeed a bold one!" The Demon Ape clapped his hands in approval. "However, with countless races vying for fortune and the grand scheme unfolding, the Great Demon Ancestor holds supreme power over all worlds. If he were to return, the demon race would inevitably conquer all. Those who devour stones and swallow iron wouldn't have to cower in the desolate tombs of the Ten Thousand Realms, merely acting as scavengers in ruins. Even a noble figure like you, Your Majesty the Demon King, speaks of strong individuals taking responsibility, heroes avenging their enemies—truly, there is no such fear"
“Whether it's the destiny of the demon clan or the future of the Demon Realm. In this vast world, throughout millennia, isn't it inevitable that the Demon Ancestor should exist” The Seventh Hate Demon Monarch only spread his hands, allowing the sea wind to lash against him: “Our kind live in this world, each following our own path, striving for life and seeking our own transcendence. Whoever wants to imprison this lord's freedom, or even erase this lord's self, is this lord's enemy! Let alone the Demon Ancestor, no ancestor matters—the most important thing in the world is oneself. The most precious thing in the world is this lord himself!”
The Demon Ape sighed and said, "The Demon King is truly forthright!"
“The Devil Ape should also show me its true self!” The Seventh Hate Demon Lord said very directly: “Can you tell this lord now, about this cooperation, have you considered it”
The ogre hesitated for a moment and said, "The conditions the Demon Lord gave are all good. I'm willing to refuse, but I can't find any reason to refuse."
The Seventh Hatred Demon Lord brushed his sleeve, looking extremely carefree and confident: "If there's anything else, say it now!"
The flames in the Demon Ape's eyes burned away all emotion, but his voice still carried the ripples of contemplation: "But you are the Seven Hates Demon Lord."
The Seven Hates Demon Lord understood these words and couldn't help but laugh, "The peak position is just a scenery you will inevitably reach. The magnificent transcendence is also an eternity that you have the opportunity to glimpse. You, the first arrogant of the human race, where do you fall short Today, you fear me, and I am not afraid of the younger generation! In this world, there are often things to be cautious about, like walking on thin ice. One step forward, one step back, you should consider it yourself. The great path is like the blue sky, how could this name 'Seven Hates' prevent you from moving forward"
The Demon Ape's voice rumbled, "I do not trust my own wisdom, nor am I certain of my understanding. What feels good to me now may harbor future harm, and what appears true to me at this moment may not be true for long. Just as the Demon Lord said, you once reached the summit, believing you had no other choice, but now you feel you made the wrong decision—you are a peerless Demon Sovereign, while I, a stubborn and backward being, cannot help but fear and respect you."

“It’s fine!” The Qihèn Demon Lord waved his hand. “Now, there are only five of the Eight Great Demon Lords, including me. It’s rare for us to gather like this. When we will unite again is unknown. We have plenty of time, you can take your time to consider. Besides, even if you want to stop the return of the Demon Ancestor, your current strength isn't enough. Even if you provide a quiet chamber today and we communicate in advance— ”
He looked around: "This is a good place, you and I know, heaven and earth don't know. The two儀 Dao, implicit meaning becomes the sea, Zou Huiming is also considered unlucky!"
As the newest Supreme among these eight demon lords, he always had something to say that intrigued the Demon Ape. Unable to help himself, he asked, "Does Lord Demon Monarch also know the Yin-Yang True Saint"
"Alright!" Qihate Demon Lord didn't want to chat much: "You can take your time thinking. Just one thing, about the Demon Ancestor, you must not speak of it to anyone else. If you are not confident, you must consult others. It cannot be spoken of below the peak because this word cannot be hidden beneath the peak. It cannot be spoken to those who are not absolutely trusted, because in the world of mortals, many people have hearts deeply corrupted by demons, and we cannot know them all. A secret that is not kept confidential will lead to harm. You wouldn't understand this, would you The Demon Ancestor won't care about my rebellion, anyway, on the day He returns, He will erase everything together. But you, you have missed this opportunity - do you understand"
The demon ape scratched his head: “You talk so much, but it sounds like there’s only one thing—the Demon Lord wants me to have a duel of wits with you I don’t have that confidence!”
The Seven Hates Demon Monarch let out a sneer and then said, “The matter of the Demon Ancestor, the fewer who know, the greater the chance of success. The battle in the Immortal Burial Forest was because there were too many participants, making things complicated, which gave that mysterious entity an opportunity to seize the moment and delay the war. The one who made fantasies come true just returned and immediately joined the Transcendence War. Although he caught the opponent off guard, it couldn't conceal their vulnerability—since we are already discussing major matters, we must remember the lessons of the past.”
The demon ape 'Ha' let out a growl: "Mountains and seas become real, returning from fantasy. What merit do I have, to compare myself to Him!"
The Seven Hates Demon Lord said: “Our plan, if successful, will be beyond compare!”
"Don't just talk empty promises, I'm famished! Speaking of the battle in the Immortal Extinction Forest, I'm really curious. Who exactly was that mysterious being And how did they get the chance to capture him What is the current state of the battlefield" The Demon Ape pondered for a moment and said, "Demon Lord, tell me about it"
“Demon Ape, show some respect for my title of Demon Lord,” sneered the Seven Hates Demon Lord. “I’m not your private tutor to answer your questions.”
"Alas!" sighed the Demon Ape, "If only I had known, I would have told the Demon Lord. What's so great about it anyway"
"The demonic intent in this world runs deeper than you imagine. Even though there are many powerful humans, this deity doesn't know who to trust. For matters of eternity, you are clear-headed. This deity will not emphasize it further." Qi Hèn Demon Lord didn't want to get entangled, waved his hand and left: "That blood puppet true demon is a gift from this deity to you. Grant her freedom. When you figure things out, contact me through her."
The Demon Ape Form is a manifestation of the Heart Monkey, shaped from the True Fire Realm. By nature, it is stubborn and more detached than its true form. Although wary of the Seven Hatred Demon Lord, it does not readily agree to any collaboration, even seemingly harmless ones. However, seeing the figure of this black-robed demon lord fading away, it could not help but tease: "Throughout history, has anyone ever used an unclaimed treasure as a greeting gift As the supreme being of the Demon Realm, how can you come empty-handed! I thought at least the Demon Lord would leave a few demonic skills for me to practice first."
"Demon Ape." Qihate Demon Lord turned to look at him, a slight smile on his face. "You dare to challenge my demonic arts Do you dare to take them If you hold them in your hand, do you dare to practice them"
>
The Demon Ape shook its mountain-like hand: “Just kidding, just kidding! The Demon Lord treasures his treasure dearly! We'll meet again!”
The Seven Hates Demon Lord took a step to leave, but then remembered something: "There is indeed a demonic art that is now completely exposed, with its mysteries at hand. I wonder if the Demon Ape would be interested"
The Demon Ape settled down, swaying its mountain-like demonic body: "Demon Lord, you mean the *Eternal Abyss of Desire Demonic Art*"
"How can you say you're not clever!" Qi Hate Demon Lord laughed at him, "It is precisely this skill! After being replaced by the 'Qi Hate Demon Skill', it is losing its immortality. If you destroy it, it will be a great merit for all human beings. But if you unravel it, you may be able to grasp the life gate of the Demon Ancestor!"
The demon ape was speechless for a moment.

“Look!” Qihèn Mójūn sneered, “When I saw you that day, you were only nineteen years old, just a low-ranking member of the inner house, daring to defy this lord. Today, when we meet again, you are almost an adult, reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, but you are being too cautious. It is true that flowers bloom again, and people have no second youth!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Before the demon ape could speak, he casually tossed something to him: “Here’s a clue—if you don't want it, destroy it. If it's useful, go find what it leads to. Take your leave!”
He disappeared rather abruptly.
There remained only one object that was neither gold nor jade nor iron nor wood, a paperweight suspended in mid-air, emitting an aura of dark magic. The beast button took the shape of a coiled dragon, its workmanship incredibly fine and lifelike.
The demonic ape neither accepts nor rejects. It neither looks nor doesn't look.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned another Samadhi True Furnace. He tossed the dragon-button paperweight, rumored to hold clues to the "Everlasting Suffering in the Sea of Desire and Demon's Art," into the furnace.
The flame does not burn it, only the space it contaminates.
The Seventh Hatred Demon Lord said that he was already very powerful and didn't need to be so careful. But it was precisely because he had become so powerful that he realized how vast the heavens and earth were, and only then could he truly feel the power of the Seventh Hatred Demon Lord—
Once, because he had resisted the demonic arts within the imperial palace, he had also harbored a slight sense of disdain. He thought that the Demon Lord was nothing special and that he would soon surpass him. It was like an ant carrying a human hair and thinking that the weight of a human was only that much.
But that kind of understanding is how superficial it is.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The demon ape pondered for a moment, putting aside the proposal of the Seven Hates Demon Lord for now, like a piece of paperweight in a furnace. But he raised his fingertip that resembled a mountain peak and gently tapped it.
A wisp of demonic energy suddenly shot out, following the phantom trace left by the Seven Hates Demon Lord.
An endless mirror sea, ripples suddenly appear.
In the desolate burial grounds of myriad realms, Song Wanxi, with her blood-red phoenix eyes, took only a step forward and crushed the glazed coffin back into the tomb. The soil was like iron, the black tomb heavy, and the tombstone devoid of any inscription.
Her eyes, the color of blood glass, had long been devoid of emotional response, like two perfectly set glass panes. Now, it was as if she were pushing open a window—a wisp of demonic energy leaped out from within, like an arrow loosed from a bow, silently and invisibly flying towards the distant heavens.
His blood-ruby eyes, were finally animated with a spark of life.
“He me” has gone, “self” has returned.
She turned silently, her body moving in the opposite direction of the demonic aura.
The world-conquering Seventh Hate Demon Lord has already left, and the Puppet Master only told her to explore freely, leaving no specific orders. Her life and freedom have temporarily returned. Now she has plenty of time to slowly observe this desolate world.
Demons are not without emotions.
But at this moment, she truly had no emotion to speak of.
She hadn't had time to establish her own feelings as a demon, she only possessed past memories and present ones. Past emotions no longer existed, and the current feeling was only desolation.
>
No matter which way you look, the sky is rust-colored. The earth is black iron-like, all around, seemingly unchanged. It's truly a hopeless place.
She casually broke off a thorny branch and, with indifference, wove her cascading blue hair into it.
> Just keep moving forward, and experience whatever comes your way.
