The Red Sun had already set, and the Blue Sun, the Great Sun, hung high in the sky, emitting a ghostly blue light. Under the sunlight, all living beings instinctively felt a chill.
On the other side of the golden sky curtain that spanned the heavens, a million kilometers away, dark clouds rolled ominously in the vast firmament, obscuring the sun's rays, which could not penetrate the gloom.
Below this hellish world, the earth was cracked, filled with fissures through which dark red magma flowed, spewing forth clouds of black toxic smoke.
In this seemingly hellish world, there was no sign of life; the vegetation was withered and desolate, and the once towering trees, several hundred or even thousands of meters high, stood as mere bare black trunks, distorted like ghostly claws.
Compared to the Mokeya Dark Demon Empire, which was at war with the Human Race, the three empires attacking the Tianyu Clan were even more terrifying, polluting everything and exterminating all life.
A mountain peak rising tens of thousands of meters shot up from the earth, and atop it sat a massive Demon King Castle, shrouded in dark demonic aura.
The castle's main hall was built from the skull of a gigantic dragon-like beast, standing a thousand meters high, with three pairs of sharp dragon horns piercing the dark clouds above, creating a fearful and imposing sight.
At this moment, standing between the dragon horns was a five-meter-tall Infernal True Demon with its hands clasped behind its back.
This Infernal True Demon bore a striking resemblance to Zuo Jing, its face covered in dark golden scales, with horns on its head, a pair of bat-like wings on its back, and a sharp tail.
As it gazed at the colossal black vortex in the horizon, Zuo Mo's deep voice rang out, "Have you become so impatient to act before breaking through to the Demon God level?"
Boom!
From the roiling dark clouds, a terrifying will descended as the clouds swirled to form a face of a demon god, grand and imposing, shaking the void with its authority.
"Cortes, has your other true form arrived?"
"Yes, he is coming."
Zuo Mo nodded slightly. "I had planned to deal with the Tianyu Clan first, then force the Human Race to bring him out for a confrontation, but I didn't expect him to come knocking on our door."
The voice of the demon god's will rumbled with authority.
"Very well, you have now broken through to the pinnacle of the Great Demon King and entered awakening. If you can absorb the last true form, you should be able to step into the Demon God realm."
"As long as I can absorb that last true form, I am confident of breaking through."
Zuo Mo's eyes shimmered with sharpness, his voice low, "However, although I sense his arrival dimly, I cannot determine his exact location due to a power shield."
The demon god's will responded coldly, "It's simple. You are both targets of each other; as long as you leave the Demon Realm, he will naturally come to you."
"Coincidentally, some strong individuals from the Human Race have appeared on the battlefield of the Eternal Divine Realm and are being obstructed. Since you have emerged from your seclusion, go handle it."
"The Human Race... has actually appeared here." Zuo Mo narrowed his eyes.
"The Tianyu Clan must have allied with that Human Race, sending some forces to support them. Perhaps your other true form is hidden among them."
"Then, I shall go take a look at the frontline battlefield." With a faint sigh, the Infernal True Demon, covered in purple and gold scales, silently disappeared.
As Zuo Mo left, the massive face of the demon god in the sky also dissipated.
Deep within the violent space interlayer, a golden light sphere with a diameter of a million kilometers emitted dazzling radiance, and within it stood a golden divine tree towering over a hundred thousand kilometers high, radiating brilliant light.
However, around the light sphere, endless dark demonic qi rolled, forming the shadowy figures of nine-headed demon dragons, each thousands of kilometers long, frantically clawing at the golden light sphere.
