"There is an Abyssal Demon Seed here, from the great Abyssal Demon Mother. Any Abyssal Demon Seed can forge a powerful Celestial Demon Arms—a supreme demonic artifact comparable to the Eternal Ark or an Sacred Court Supreme city. Your Myriad-Evil Hall's original body has been heard of. It was formed using the remnants of the Eternal Ark and infused with your Myriad-Evil power. The Eternal True Spirit inside should have perished, merging into the Abyssal Demon Seed. This can transform the Myriad-Evil Hall into a true Demon God Battlefortress. Its potential will be extraordinary, with a chance of ascending to an even higher level."
Thousand-Ear Sovereign spoke slowly.
With a wave of his hand, a jade box appeared and flew toward Yi Tianxie.
Seeing this, Yi Tianxie quickly bowed and spoke sincerely: "Thank you for this great gift, Sovereign. My Myriad-Evil Hall is indeed built upon the Eternal Ark, but after the Eternal True Spirit was shattered, although the hall was reforged, it lacked the True Spirit as a core, which caused limitations. With this Abyssal Demon Seed, my hall will overcome its final flaw, gaining tremendous strength. My chances of navigating the Nightmare World increase greatly."
His words were full of genuine sincerity.
Within the Myriad-Evil Hall resides the Eternal Evil Spirit, Heitian, formed from remnants of the Eternal True Spirit and Abyssal Demon Spirits. It had been a hidden anomaly; only Yi Tianxie knew of it. For others, the Myriad-Evil Hall appeared merely as a magical treasure reforged from the remnants of the Eternal Ark, never revealing its true potential as a Demon God Battlefortress.
The Eternal Evil Spirit dispersed and coalesced within the hall at will, composed of the seven emotions and countless malevolent thoughts in the world. This flexibility was why no other Eternal Night Demon Gods had discovered it.
Now, with the Abyssal Demon Seed, Heitian could finally manifest fully.
"Entering the Nightmare World is no trivial matter. Your chance of returning safely is only about ten percent. Inside, you must be careful not to cause excessive destruction, or the Nightmare Will may take notice. Its mutating laws contain Abyssal Will, which can resist you, but avoid using it unless necessary, or the Nightmare Will will be provoked. Find the pioneers and return immediately; we will intervene to rescue you."
Faceless Sovereign smiled lightly, her gaze lingering on Yi Tianxie with evident interest.
The other Demon Gods present also focused on Yi Tianxie, their expressions complex. Everyone knew the Nightmare World was perilous. To volunteer at this time was either madness or purpose-driven. No Demon God would risk their life just to prove themselves—the Eternal Night's Demon Gods were fundamentally self-serving.
"This time, it was orchestrated by Yi Tianxing, the head of the Great Yi Immortal Court, alongside Ming He, Human Sovereigns, the demon Rahu, the barbarian Chi You, and other native powers. Whether the pioneers live or die, since they acted, the Eternal Night cannot simply let it pass. The Eternal Night never remains silent when struck; we strike back tenfold, a hundredfold."
Evil-Eye Sovereign spoke again.
"Please, Sovereign, command us. We will follow orders," the assembled Demon Gods said without hesitation, their resolve unanimous. They would reclaim their honor, no matter what.
"Yi Tianxing and his allies must die. Otherwise, the Eternal Night's face will be lost. Ordinary methods cannot harm such top-tier forces. Currently, we cannot enter the Eternal World, so I plan to implement two schemes," Evil-Eye Sovereign continued.
"First, the Decapitation Plan: notify our hidden agents in the Eternal World to target them for assassination. Each of you may use your abilities; success brings reward. Failure activates the second plan, which involves the Eternal Night's trump card."
The Decapitation Plan had long been executed in secret. In recent years, many top talents in the Eternal World had mysteriously perished—never accidents, always the work of the Eternal Night in the shadows. The Nine-Headed Hydra played a critical role.
Of course, targeting someone like Yi Tianxing, a top-tier powerhouse, had low odds of success, so the second plan—the trump card—was crucial.
Many Demon Gods understood this tacitly; some were confused. Seeing Evil-Eye Sovereign refuse to elaborate on the second plan, they said nothing. Yi Tianxie, though curious, remained silent—sometimes ignorance is safer.
After issuing orders, most Demon Gods departed, leaving only the three Sovereigns.
"Thousand-Ear, did you detect anything? Have you found the traitor?" Evil-Eye asked.
"No. My abilities are not omnipotent. If there is a spy, they may have countermeasures. Careful investigation is needed. The scope is too broad; suspicion falls on all. That battle occurred within the Eternal Night—none know if Eternal left agents behind. Their schemes surpass ours," Thousand-Ear Sovereign said.
The spy could be from the previous era or a newly ascended Demon God this era—impossible to exclude anyone.
"Regardless, the culprit will eventually reveal themselves. Some plans require utmost caution; do not disclose them," Evil-Eye Sovereign said solemnly.
"What about the Myriad-Evil Hall?" Faceless Sovereign asked.
"He is a newly ascended Demon God, born from the evil of the seven emotions. Naturally a demon god. Regardless, caution is necessary. The Abyssal Demon Seed will help us determine if he is loyal to the Eternal Night," Thousand-Ear Sovereign said calmly.
For anyone outside the Eternal Night, merging with an Abyssal Demon Seed would be suicidal. The seed's Abyssal Will could instantly identify them, even deliver a fatal strike—it contained a fragment of the Abyssal Demon Mother's will. A regular Dao-proving Demon God could not resist it.
Regarding Yi Tianxie's mission to the Nightmare World, the Sovereigns adopted a wait-and-see approach. They wanted to observe his actions.
...
Eternal Night, Myriad-Evil Hall
The Myriad-Evil Hall had long merged with the world's seven emotions and boundless desires, roaming imperceptibly throughout existence. Its presence was everywhere and nowhere. The hall buzzed with activity as numerous Eternal Night demons carried out and accepted tasks. Its reputation spread far, becoming an important gathering place.
At this moment, Yi Tianxie appeared in the hall's core.
He gazed at the dark Eternal Evil Spirit Furnace, where vast forces of the seven emotions flowed in, ultimately refining into the purest evil spirit power. His eyes gleamed.
"Master!!"
From the furnace, a divine light revealed a hulking headless man hovering above. His aura was strange—not the sacred immortality of the Eternal True Spirit, nor the oblivion of the Abyssal Demon Seed. Instead, it carried depth, calm like the vast ocean, unfathomable. His chest served as an eye, navel as a mouth, and he bowed to Yi Tianxie.
"Heitian, how is the Myriad-Evil Hall now?" Yi Tianxie asked with a nod.
"The Myriad-Evil Hall can draw power from the seven emotions to refine itself. In the Eternal Night, thirteen blood moons continuously generate endless desire. This is our supreme treasure. The hall is already an immortal-grade artifact, steadily advancing. With enough time, it can ascend to the Ancient-grade, unrestricted."
Heitian spoke loudly. The hall was a supreme sanctuary in the Eternal Night, producing vast amounts of primal energy continuously. Once it reached Ancient-grade, it would be the most mysterious existence of its kind.
"I have an Abyssal Demon Seed. Can you absorb it without alerting the Eternal Night?"
Yi Tianxie held up the seed.
"Abyssal Demon Seed?"
Heitian licked his lips in excitement. "It contains a fragment of the Abyssal Demon Mother's will. Not truly conscious, but it creates Abyssal Demon Spirits. I myself am formed from the seed, Eternal True Spirit, and your Myriad-Evil Dao Body. I already possess Abyssal Demon Spirit properties. With me, the seed will be absorbed, producing no new demons, only enhancing the hall."
A perfect match. Heitian instinctively could absorb the seed, bringing immense benefit.
"Good. Then merge the Abyssal Demon Seed. Let's see what changes. Do not disappoint me."
Yi Tianxie stood before the Eternal Evil Spirit Furnace and spoke slowly, deliberately.
