While Xiao Yan was still refining the Saint Demon Flame, the Great Thousand World's crusade against the Extraterritorial Evil Race had nearly reached its conclusion. Although a few remnants remained, they posed no real threat. The Great Thousand Palace had already organized search teams to comb through various planes. If any lingering Evil Race traces were discovered, they would be eradicated without hesitation.
As for the planes and continents that had been reclaimed, they had been long occupied by the Evil Race and were heavily tainted by demonic energy. As a result, they were temporarily uninhabitable. However, to resolve this, the Great Thousand World had dispatched numerous Heavenly Sovereigns who tirelessly used their spiritual energy day and night to purify the corruption. Given time, these lands would undoubtedly return to their original state.
Everyone believed the demonic calamity that had plagued the Great Thousand World for tens of thousands of years was finally over. The Great Thousand Palace even held a grand celebration, inviting all the top-tier factions who had participated in the war. Yet no one anticipated the sudden upheaval that would occur at the height of their joy.
A tremendous tremor erupted from the ground in the Northern Wastelands. A massive column of demonic energy pierced the heavens, and from it surged an indescribable pressure. Even Sovereigns at the peak Saint-grade level like the Undying Lord felt a primal fear rise from within.
"What is that?" countless Heavenly Sovereigns exclaimed, rushing toward the Northern Wastelands. Within that pillar of demonic energy, a blurred silhouette slowly emerged. Though still distant, the aura it exuded caused the pupils of all present experts to contract sharply.
"After more than forty thousand years... this god has finally seen the light of day again!" A maniacal laugh echoed from within the demonic aura. That single voice was enough to blanket the skies of countless nearby continents in dark clouds. Even the light of the sun was completely snuffed out. This display of power far exceeded anything the present generation had ever encountered.
As the demonic presence spread, every living being in the Great Thousand World lifted their heads in confusion and dread, gazing toward the Northern Wastelands. Though they didn't understand what had occurred, the instant the heavens changed color, a deep-seated fear took hold in their hearts—even among the Heavenly Sovereigns.
"That's... the Evil God? How can this be?" The Undying Lord, who was originally stationed in the Northern Wastelands, could barely believe what he was seeing. That being had been sealed within the Grand Demonic Formation for eons. Only a few more centuries were needed to annihilate it completely. Yet now it had broken free?
Seeing that towering demonic figure between heaven and earth, even top-tier experts like the Undying Lord and the Sword Saint of the Azure Robe couldn't hide the flicker of fear in their eyes. The Evil God had once been far too powerful—during the ancient war, even when multiple Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns had fought together, they had not been able to withstand a single exchange with him.
Back then, if not for the sacrifice of the Immortal Emperor, the Great Thousand World would've already fallen into the Evil God's hands. It was only through the Immortal Emperor's life sacrifice that the Evil God had been sealed, buying the world over forty thousand years of peace. And now, that peace had been shattered at the very moment of their triumph.
"What happened? The seal hasn't loosened, and the Grand Demonic Formation shows no signs of damage. How did the Evil God break free?" The Undying Lord's voice trembled with unwillingness. His Guardian Clan had watched over the Northern Wastelands for tens of thousands of years, waiting for the Evil God's final demise. Why had it all unraveled now?
"There's no point asking those questions anymore." Qin Tian was the first to regain his composure. He stared solemnly at the demonic figure in the sky. "The Evil God has only just emerged. His power can't have returned to its peak yet. If we give it everything we've got, there might still be a chance to bring him down!"
His words reignited the spirits of the other experts. No matter what, they were the strongest powers the Great Thousand World had to offer. If anyone could face this calamity, it was them. Having just annihilated the Evil Race, they knew the Evil God wouldn't spare them. Instead of waiting for death, they might as well fight with everything they had—if they failed, the entire Great Thousand World would fall.
Under Qin Tian's lead, the Heavenly Sovereigns launched their assault. The Undying Lord, the Sword Saint of the Azure Robe, and others unleashed torrents of spiritual energy, converging them into devastating attacks that surged toward the pillar of demonic energy. Facing an enemy of the Evil God's magnitude, none dared to hold back. Their combined offensive was titanic in scale.
"The Great Thousand World has grown weak since the ancient era…" A mocking voice echoed from within the demonic pillar. A massive hand extended outward and, with a gentle squeeze, shattered the overwhelming assault of all the gathered Heavenly Sovereigns like glass under pressure.
Seeing this, the pupils of the top experts contracted in disbelief. They had already known how terrifying the Evil God was—but this level of power was beyond anything they had imagined. No wonder he was such a harbinger of destruction during the ancient war. This power far surpassed even the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign realm!
As fear gripped the crowd, the pillar of demonic energy began to fade, revealing a man floating in mid-air. Unexpectedly, the Evil God's appearance was strikingly handsome. However, unlike normal people, his face bore not two, but five open, blackened eyes devoid of whites. The eerie darkness within them sent chills down every spine.
"The Five-Eyed Evil God? How is that possible?" the Undying Lord trembled. "Back during the Immortal Emperor's battle against him, he had only opened four eyes! He's just broken the seal—how can he already have five?!"
Everyone present was shaken. The Undying Lord was the most familiar with that ancient war. If he said so, then it had to be true. But didn't that mean... the Evil God was now stronger than he had ever been?
Logically, having been sealed for tens of thousands of years and continuously worn down by the Grand Demonic Formation's power, his strength should have diminished. How could it have grown instead?
"It's not just five..." The Evil God grinned darkly. "I rather like it when you mortals call me... the Nine-Eyed Evil God."
