At this moment, it wasn't just Qin Wuming watching this scene; all the great powers of the Immortal Realm were shocked by Han Xuanji's appearance.
What kind of figure was the Great Heavenly Demon?
He was considered the number one Powerful Expert beneath the Demon Ancestor. Even within the Heavenly Court, there were few who could rival him. In the entire history of the Immortal Realm, those who could suppress the Great Heavenly Demon were few and far between.
Yet with this single move, Han Xuanji had instantly killed the Great Heavenly Demon in an extremely sophisticated manner.
Even if this Great Heavenly Demon was merely an Incarnation, it wasn't something an ordinary Hunyuan Expert could withstand.
One must remember that the Demon Ancestor stood behind the Great Heavenly Demon. Even if many Powerful Experts could deal with him, they would have to consider carefully whether it was worth it.
The Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm, the Ancient Heavenly Court.
At this time, over a dozen figures were gathered together. Every single one was an extremely ancient existence, and those in the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm were not few in number.
One of these figures was the Ninth Heaven Demon-Suppressing Jade True God. He was tall with a solemn expression:
"I have observed his dao-rhythm; it is all-encompassing and extraordinarily profound. He is truly a powerful being of the Limitless Primordial Realm. For such a Powerful Expert to intervene... the variables for the future have increased greatly."
Hearing this, the other figures nodded in agreement. The Great Tribulation had only just begun, and they hadn't expected such an existence to disrupt the situation. No one knew what it would evolve into by then.
"Could this be the person who achieved the status of Supreme Dao Sovereign not long ago?"
"It's possible, but we also cannot rule out the possibility that they were already a Limitless Primordial existence, simply hiding their identity and playing among mortals."
"Pay close attention. Do not antagonize him. With the Demon Tribulation rising, an extra variable is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Indeed. For such an existence, even if we cannot befriend them, we must not offend them."
Everyone chimed in one after another, essentially establishing their basic stance.
Regardless of the circumstances, Han Xuanji had acted against the Demon Race and had not stood in opposition to the Heavenly Court.
The enemy of an enemy might not necessarily be a friend, but it was best not to let them become another enemy.
While many existences were heatedly discussing Han Xuanji's identity, the Ninth Heaven Demon-Suppressing Jade True God remained silent, feeling somewhat troubled.
He was currently worried whether Yue Tian and those others had brought trouble upon him.
"Sigh, I was careless."
The Ninth Heaven Demon-Suppressing Jade True God had not expected that such a high-level existence stood behind this.
Not just the ancient forces of the Heavenly Court, but other ancient orthodoxies and Hidden Families—essentially anyone who had lived long enough to know the true weight of 'Limitless Primordial'—were all shaken to their cores.
Some regretted not discovering him sooner and missing the Opportunity to form a connection, while others were curious, wanting to find out exactly where this person came from and what their stance was.
The upper-level structure of the entire Immortal Realm underwent a subtle yet profound shift due to Han Xuanji's appearance.
A living Limitless Primordial powerhouse, even alone, was enough to tip the balance of power across the heavens and influence the direction of the Great Tribulation.
Not to mention, this powerhouse also had a group of peerless Prodigies under his command, and even a Human Emperor.
On the side of the Human Race, many Powerful Experts also began to deliberate...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Shenji City.
It was only after several breaths of time had passed since Han Xuanji acted that the frozen time and space seemed to flow once more. However, the scene fell into an eerie silence, leaving only the thumping heartbeats of those who had survived the disaster.
Under everyone's gaze, the figures of the Demon Race dissipated one by one. Their very existence seemed to have been completely dismantled; this was death at the level of the Dao, with no chance of resurrection! The Demon Race side instantly fell into boundless despair.
The Demon Master slumped to the ground, his face bloodless, unable to even utter a full sentence.
Kuanglei Demon Emperor and the other Demon Race experts were so affected by Han Xuanji's law domain that they didn't even have the strength to flee, let alone resist.
At that very moment, deep within the distant Demon Domain, those two Chaos Demon Eyes suddenly snapped open!
Time seemed to stand still in that instant. Everyone except Han Xuanji lost all movement and color, as if the world had turned grey. Reflected within the Demon Eyes was Han Xuanji's indifferent figure.
"Limitless Primordial... Why must thou interfere with me?"
The will of the Demon Ancestor penetrated infinite time and space in an instant, locking onto this location.
Facing this will-lock that was ten thousand times more terrifying than the Great Heavenly Demon's Incarnation, Han Xuanji's expression remained unchanged.
He raised his eyes and calmly met those Chaos Demon Eyes that seemed capable of devouring the stars of the heavens. He looked as if he had pierced through the barriers of infinite time and space to stare directly at one of the oldest and most powerful Chaos Demon Gods.
[Demon Ancestor (Dharma Body): Limitless Primordial, Primordial Demon God, creator of the Demon Race, founder of the Demonic Path. He is the most ancient Chaos Demon God, with thousands of Dharma Bodies left within the Chaos. Your action has triggered a dormant thought within the Demon Domain; he feels confused and annoyed by your intervention.]
Han Xuanji was somewhat surprised. Did the System mean that the Demon Ancestor invading the Immortal Realm was actually just a Dharma Body?
A mere Dharma Body possessed the strength of the Limitless Primordial Realm?
Han Xuanji frowned as he thought about this, but he soon understood the crux of it.
A Dharma Body having Limitless Primordial strength sounded preposterous, but for the top-tier Limitless Primordial experts, it wasn't entirely impossible.
Over the long ages, the Spells and Divine Abilities they controlled were already countless. If this Incarnation of Han Xuanji's were to use a Primordial Chaos supreme treasure, his strength would not be much inferior to a Limitless Primordial expert either.
Furthermore, although the Demon Ancestor had many Dharma Bodies, it didn't mean his main body's strength completely transcended the Limitless Primordial level.
It was very likely that his power could be distributed among thousands of Dharma Bodies, or perhaps because of the invasion of the Immortal Realm and the creation of the Demon Race, the strength of this Dharma Body had advanced by leaps and bounds, making it a special existence.
Moreover, Han Xuanji knew that in future simulations, this Demon Ancestor basically never won. Even if he was powerful, he definitely hadn't exceeded a certain threshold.
"No wonder after the ancient war between Immortals and Demons, the Demon Ancestor seemed to fall silent yet his demonic shadow never truly dissipated, and his foundation remained bottomless... It turns out he was lying low in various parts of the Chaos in the form of thousands of Dharma Bodies, perhaps even completely infiltrating some Great Worlds."
Han Xuanji's thoughts whirled, instantly connecting many dots.
Originally, it was almost impossible for a Limitless Primordial existence to die, and this form of existence made the Demon Ancestor even harder to suppress.
"Heaven and Earth are heartless, treating all things as straw dogs. Destruction and rebirth are inherently part of the cycle of Chaos. Since thou hast reached the Limitless, thou shouldst know that the so-called survival of living beings is but a dream and a bubble. By obstructing me, dost thou wish to establish thy own orthodoxy in this realm?"
The Demon Ancestor questioned again, trying to figure out Han Xuanji's background.
"There is no 'why'."
Han Xuanji didn't bother explaining to the Demon Ancestor. Their paths were different, so there was no common ground. Moreover, this fellow had just recently tried to block his path to enlightenment; that grudge was not small.
Now that he had also achieved the Hunyuan Wuji Realm, he didn't need to be submissive in front of an equal existence.
Faced with such a firm Han Xuanji, the Demon Ancestor was also somewhat annoyed:
"When my true body fully awakens and the demonic taint spreads through the heavens, thou, and everything thou protectest, shall face the reckoning."
"More words are useless."
With a wave of his right hand, Han Xuanji forcibly terminated the conversation.
He had already obtained the key information; there was no need to say anything more.
The more one says, the more mistakes one makes.
Naturally, the others had no idea what had happened.
Even less did they know that the legendary Demon Ancestor had watched all this unfold and had even used his power to have a conversation with Han Xuanji.
