Demon Clan Camp, Command Center.

Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo, with a face iron-blue, sat in his place, emanating a thick murderous aura, solid enough to suffocate someone.

In front of Cheng Tuo were a group of senior members of the Demon Race, each with a similarly grave expression.

"Great One, what do we do now? Shall our army strike back at the Demon God Temple?"

Cheng Tuo said in a deep voice, "Firstly ascertain the situation of the opponent; do not act rashly."

Someone asked, "Does this matter have anything to do with the Immortal Realm?"

Cheng Tuo shook his head, "Do not speculate wildly. My master has already communicated to me; he met with the Immortal Emperor previously, feigned a dispute, and fought intensely, but in reality, both restrained their power—it was all an act to lure out the hidden adversary behind this. In fact, they were not injured; all of it was a setup."

The demons suddenly understood, their faces revealing expressions of surprised joy.

"Lord Demon Emperor wasn't injured, that is wonderful news!"

"Does that mean this matter might not be linked to the Immortal Realm?"

"Perhaps we should ask them, exchange some information..."

Cheng Tuo nodded, just about to speak when suddenly the voice of Seven-colored Immortal Monarch boomed like thunder and spread across the Nine Heavens.

"Direct Disciple of the Immortal Emperor seeks an audience with the Little Demon Emperor, please come out and meet!"

Little Demon Emperor furrowed his brow, "We haven't even approached them yet, and they have already come here first. Listening to the tone, they don't seem to have good intentions. Could it be that the Immortal Realm has also encountered trouble?"

Little Demon Emperor stood up, "You all wait, I will go meet them!"

Cheng Tuo walked out, soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, appeared opposite Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and two others.

"What brings the three of you here, may I ask?"

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch asked coldly, "Holy Heart Palace was attacked by unknown forces, I just want to inquire, does the Demon Clan have any relation to this matter?"

Little Demon Emperor's expression changed slightly, "Holy Heart Palace was attacked as well?"

"Also?"

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch keenly caught the crucial word in Little Demon Emperor's response, and his tone slightly softened, "Has your side also suffered an attack?"

With the message from Demon Emperor knowing that a pact was made between the Immortal and Demon Emperors, Little Demon Emperor did not conceal anything and frankly said, "Demon God Temple was suddenly attacked by unknown forces and has fallen. Most of the guards are either dead or injured, only a few escaped from the temple through the Array Formation..."

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and the two others' faces instantly turned extremely grim.

They had come here to verify if the Demon Clan was related to the attacks, and the good news they got was that the Demon Clan seemed unrelated to the unknown forces since they had also been attacked, even the Demon God Temple had fallen. The bad news was the unknown force seemed even more powerful than imagined.

They had launched simultaneous attacks, striking at the core of both the Immortal and Demon Worlds; both Holy Heart Palace and Demon God Temple had fallen!

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch said solemnly, "The situations in Holy Heart Palace and Demon God Temple are similar; currently, details are unclear, but with many Heavenly Soldiers stationed at the Heavenly Army Hall, they were still no match, and I expect the casualties are significant."

Little Demon Emperor asked, "Is the attacker the strange purple crystal-like unknown life form?"

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch nodded, "Yes."

Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo replied, "According to those who escaped, suddenly a giant spatial gap was cut out in the air above the Demon God Temple by a purple light, and countless purple crystal-shaped creatures of Different Races burst out from it. Eventually, the spatial gap widened, and a purple crystal column emerged from the space crack, directly shattering the three-layer Barrier of the Demon God Temple, turning it into ruins. Most of the clan members who didn't escape were directly shattered, and a small portion who narrowly escaped were overwhelmed by the swarming Different Races like a tide…"

Qingluan Immortal Monarch asked, "Did the Demon Emperor not return to help in the rescue?"

Little Demon Emperor responded, "My master was held back by an unknown opponent, but as for more information, I do not know, oh yes, my master and your master met and made a contract, they put on a play, pretending to be mutually wounded to lure the hidden hand behind the scenes to act…"

Sea Burning Immortal Monarch exclaimed, "They were just pretending to fight?"

"Yes!"

Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo scanned the three individuals, his tone serious yet carrying a subtle hint, "The unknown power is strong, manipulating overlapping planes, leading to fights between the Immortal and Demon Worlds, reducing our strength. It seems they aim to completely engulf both Immortal and Demon Worlds. Now that the combined armies of both worlds are gathered here, what should we do next? Shouldn't we have a charter?"

The three Seven-colored Immortal Monarchs exchanged glances, one of them asked, "What you mentioned about our masters having a contract, is it true?"

Little Demon Emperor frowned and said, "That's what my master told me, if you don't believe it, you can go back and ask the Immortal Emperor."

Seizing quickly the answer in his mind, Seven-colored Immortal Monarch proposed, "In that case, our two sides will cease fire for now, but until the situation is clear, I suggest that both militaries remain here to prevent being individually destroyed by the hidden force behind the scenes…"

Pausing for a moment, Seven-colored Immortal Monarch's tone was complicated, "No matter who they are, if they make a move here, our two worlds can put aside past grievances and join forces against the enemy, as they are now our common enemy."

Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo pressed his lips together, his eyes also showing bitterness and self-mockery.

The Immortal Realm and Demon World have fought over twenty times, how many have died?

Now, both worlds are forced to join hands—how ironic is this?

What would those fallen soldiers feel if they knew this, knowing that their deaths had no value, utterly in vain?

Although the feelings were complex, Little Demon Emperor still agreed neatly.

"Alright, I also think so. Let's first clarify the situation of the enemy, and wait for further news from the master before deciding what to do next."

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch nodded, "Good, let's set up a non-aggression pact first."

Despite everything Little Demon Emperor said, until verified, caution and prudence must still be maintained.

Cheng Tuo readily agreed, and he and Seven-colored Immortal Monarch signed a Blood Covenant, confirming that both sides will temporarily coexist peacefully.

The three Immortal Monarchs returned, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch quickly came forward, his expression anxious yet hopeful.

"How is the situation?"

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch replied somberly, "The Demon World has also been attacked, the Demon God Temple has fallen, the situation is similar to that of the Holy Heart Palace."

"The Demon Emperor was informed that the Demon God Temple was under attack, he was about to return when he was approached by an unknown powerhouse, delaying the rescue. Later, the Demon Emperor messaged Cheng Tuo, informing him about the fall of the Demon God Temple."

"Little Demon Emperor also revealed that the master had a secret meeting with the Demon Emperor before, and they agreed to stage a play to lure the hidden mastermind, the four saints fought a battle without exerting full strength and were uninjured."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch exclaimed excitedly, "So, the Immortal Emperor and Mixed Element Saint are unharmed?"

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch nodded, but his face showed no happiness, "Not only them, but the Demon Emperor and Shadow Saint were also unharmed, yet the Holy Heart Palace and Demon God Temple still fell, they fell simultaneously…"

The joy in Shepherd Heavenly Monarch's eyes instantly froze, replaced by solemnity.

Four saints, pretending to be injured in a great battle, drawing out the hidden mastermind, yet when the hidden mastermind truly made a move, they simply could not stop the opponent's actions—what does this indicate?

This disaster isn't solely a calamity for the Immortal Realm!
