Soon, the news of a fallen demon spread. This place was not far from the Great Dao Tree, where many powerful figures resided, so nothing could be kept secret.
Previously, Li Xiaotian had killed several of Tuoba Tao's demon subordinates. The primary reason was that any nearby living beings had likely already been hunted by Tuoba Tao and his companions. Secondly, Tuoba Tao had deliberately concealed this matter, as it was his shame.
Therefore, prior to today, no news of a noble being killed had ever surfaced.
The so-called nobles referred to beings from the God Realm and the other twelve supreme worlds.
In an instant, all living beings near the Great Dao Tree were shocked and incredulous.
Someone had slain a powerful demon. This was tantamount to challenging the heavens!
For in any secret realm, even if the outside world could not monitor the situation within, and beings from the twelve supreme worlds might be killed, beings from the God Realm had never been killed.
And now, a demon had died, which was difficult for many to comprehend, seemingly too unreal.
Beings from the God Realm were untouchable. The death of one could very well provoke a furious retaliation from the God Realm.
After all, the entire Western Domain was ruled by the God Realm. As the supreme existence, if anyone offended the divine beings of the God Realm, the God Realm would undoubtedly annihilate them without hesitation, even at a great cost. This was a matter of the God Realm's rule, and they would never tolerate any being in the Western Domain, which they governed, daring to provoke them.
Provoking the God Realm meant betraying it, a situation that could absolutely not be permitted.
"Who is it? Killing a powerful being from my God Realm, do they wish for their world to be destroyed?" a powerful figure roared, his terrifying aura rippling near the Great Dao Tree. He was a divine race powerhouse, his eyes flashing with divine light as he gazed towards the scene of the crime.
"Mojun, someone from the demon race has fallen. Your demon race should find the killer and defend the dignity of the God Realm!"
The divine race powerhouse spoke, his voice filled with anger, not only at the fallen demon but also at the inaction of the demons present. Although he understood that this matter had occurred too suddenly, he remained indignant.
The death of a demon made him feel that the God Realm's authority had been challenged and that he had lost face.
"Boom!"
A terrifying wave of energy suddenly rippled through the air, and the sky seemed to darken. In everyone's sight, a black figure appeared.
He was Mojun, a top genius of the demon race, and the most powerful demon in this world. He exuded terrifying demonic flames. Those with weaker cultivation felt their vision sting and their hearts tremble just by looking at him.
So powerful!
"I will personally find the killer. Whoever dares to kill someone from my demon race will have their soul destroyed and their world annihilated!"
Mojun spoke slowly, his tone devoid of emotion, yet he had already set the verdict. Not only would he kill the perpetrator, but upon returning, he would also destroy the killer's world.
"All demons, gather quickly!"
A wave of energy spread out. At this moment, all demons within this world heard Mojun's call.
"Heh heh, Mojun, do you require assistance?" a light laugh echoed through the heavens and earth, and a colossal figure, as tall as the sky, appeared in everyone's view.
A powerhouse from the ancient god clan, Gu Tian!
He stood between heaven and earth, terrifying fluctuations coursing through his body, like an insurmountable mountain.
"No need!" Mojun said faintly, then vanished from everyone's sight.
"Heh heh." Gu Tian chuckled and also disappeared. Simultaneously, the divine race powerhouse who had appeared first also vanished.
They had been near the Great Dao Tree all along, but they were so powerful that they had concealed their auras, so the beings of various races near the Great Dao Tree had not discovered them.
The world fell silent. After a long while, hushed whispers began to rise from the crowd.
"That was terrifying. The three powerful figures from the God Realm gave me the feeling of facing my own clan's ancestor," a being whispered, his face filled with lingering fear. He hailed from a not-weak world, whose ancestor was a high-level expert.
"That culprit is truly unlucky this time. Serves them right. It's a pity they've implicated their entire world," someone commented, avoiding discussion of the God Realm powerhouses for fear of offending them.
"They are truly audacious! When we entered this place, Lord Fire God had already instructed us to treat the nobles from the God Realm and the twelve supreme worlds with courtesy, to show them utmost respect and obey their commands. Who would have thought that this person would commit such a rebellious act!"
One person's face was filled with righteous indignation. A loyal follower of the God Realm, he was exceedingly angry.
"Who could it be? Powerful beings from ordinary worlds should not have the strength to provoke these nobles."
"It's best we discuss such matters less."
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, but soon, they consciously dismissed the matter. After all, the death of a demon was a shameful event for the demon race. Should any powerful demon take offense, those who discussed it would suffer.
