After the rise of six Great Emperors among the Human Race, the Demon Clan led an unspeakably hard existence, on the brink of extinction.
In response to the Human Race's persecution and to keep younger Disciples from devolving into Ferocious Beasts devoid of Spiritual Wisdom, the Holy Lands of the Demon Clan joined forces, consecutively unsealing three quasi-Demon Emperor Masters.
These three quasi-Demon Emperor Masters represented Qi Tao, Wisdom Tao, and Rhythm Tao, respectively. Through their collective efforts, they predicted that another three Great Emperors would emerge from the Human Race.
Basing their actions on the prophecy, the Demon Clan forces decisively withdrew from the Five Major Continents and retreated far into the Endless Sea Area to preserve their lifeline.
The prophecy read as follows:
The first, a Soul Killing Demon Emperor with a focus on Soul Tao; the second, a Le Tu Buddha with an emphasis on Earth Tao.
