After resolving the Four Great Demon Kings, Ye Fan departed.
At this moment, his running speed was even faster than a flying ship!
If he were to use explosive leaps forward, it would be even more monstrous!
Although Ye Fan still couldn't fly, his speed already far surpassed all cultivators!
That's right, all of them!
After absorbing the Four Great Demon Kings, Ye Fan's cultivation had reached the third layer of Tribulation Crossing.
As for actual combat power…
Theoretically speaking, he had already reached the level of an immortal!
In this cultivation world, Ye Fan was firmly at the pinnacle!
Even so, Ye Fan still held a little resentment about not being able to fly…
It had nothing to do with strength, just pure annoyance…
It wasn't until Ye Fan had been gone for a long time that the surviving cultivators of Dengxian Sect finally came back to their senses…
It was over…
They had finally survived…
A crisis that almost led to their annihilation had been narrowly avoided…
Under the immense emotional rollercoaster, many cultivators even burst into tears…
Some, however, stood rooted to the spot, questioning their very existence.
Because everything Ye Fan had done was completely beyond their comprehension.
This made them feel as if they had cultivated a false path of cultivation…
It was like a long-held, firm belief had suddenly crumbled!
This feeling was more terrifying than facing death before!
Some people immediately thought of those cultivators from Sacred Mountain!
Their cultivation realms seemed to be completely rendered useless on those individuals!
Did this mean that a completely new cultivation system and theory had emerged in the cultivation world?!
Thinking of this, their hearts couldn't help but become excited!
If they continued to cultivate as before, they would only reach the peak at the Tribulation Crossing stage, and that would be the end.
But in the face of the Demon Kings, those at the Tribulation Crossing stage were still easily overwhelmed, weren't they?!
Oh, wait.
At that time, the Demon Kings hadn't even made a move; a group of Demon Commanders had already wiped out those Tribulation Crossing cultivators.
Looking at it this way, their previous cultivation methods were too primitive and completely devoid of future prospects!
And those cultivators from Sacred Mountain were their new life goals and directions for effort!
Although they didn't know the identities of those people yet, it didn't matter!
From now on, their goal would be to find them!
To become their disciples!
With this thought, these cultivators immediately chased after the direction from which the Sacred Mountain cultivators had left.
A brand new, broad and smooth path had thus appeared before their eyes!
The remaining people, after their grief, began to deal with the aftermath.
For example, searching for their lost companions, or handling the funerals for friends and family.
Meanwhile.
With a few leaps and bounds, Ye Fan returned to Sacred Mountain.
There weren't many people on the mountain now; he figured the psychics and demons were having a grand old time.
The four sect leaders with white hair had already eaten their fill and wandered off to some hidden corner to have their episodes.
Ye Fan found the little demon girl and relayed the outcome to her.
"I knew you could do it," the little demon girl replied with a smile.
It seemed she had been convinced of this outcome from the very beginning.
Perhaps, in her understanding, Ye Fan was already an omnipotent being.
Afterward, the two of them went to check on Liang Rujing's secluded cultivation place.
Seeing that Liang Rujing had not yet emerged from seclusion, they left a note and departed.
"By the way, where are those two old patrons?" Ye Fan suddenly asked.
He was referring to the Second Elder and Master Xie Yan.
Given their personalities, it was rather unusual for them not to come and witness the commotion with the demons.
They had previously mentioned making some breakthroughs in their research and had been shut away in their rooms ever since.
Ye Fan nodded in realization.
This was quite in line with the two old men's style.
After all, in their world, there was nothing more enjoyable than that…
Ye Fan sighed, suddenly feeling a strange emptiness.
He was now at the peak of combat power, feeling a bit like a lone sword-wielder…
As for the pair of evil giant eyes he had seen in his illusions, he had no clues for the time being.
"Oh, I just remembered something," the little demon girl said, tapping her forehead. "Legend has it that the Demon Realm has always been guarded by the Four Great Demon Kings. If one Demon King falls, a new Demon King will surely ascend to take their place. The Demon Realm has always maintained a state of four concurrent Demon Kings."
"So?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"It is rumored that the existence of the Four Great Demon Kings is to guard something," the little demon girl continued. "Once the Four Great Demon Kings perish, the greatest secret of the Demon Realm will be exposed!"
"Speaking of which, I remember now!" the little demon girl exclaimed, slapping her thigh. "When I was little, I vaguely remember someone saying that there is a forbidden area in the Demon Realm, a place that even the Four Great Demon Kings dare not approach!"
"You mean…" Ye Fan's interest was piqued. "That forbidden area is what the Four Great Demon Kings have been guarding?"
"I can't be sure," the little demon girl replied excitedly. "But I think it's highly probable!"
"Do you know where that forbidden area is?"
"I have a vague impression, but I'm not entirely certain…"
A few days later.
The Demon Realm.
With the disappearance of the barrier between the human and demon realms, both realms were now completely exposed to each other's gaze.
Under such circumstances, there should have been some conflicts or friction.
But in reality…
There wasn't.
The elite demons who had invaded the human realm were chased and scattered by the cultivators from Sacred Mountain, suffering tens of millions of casualties along the way.
Due to the demise of the Demon Kings, these demons had completely lost their will to fight.
Later, seeing that the human realm was no longer a place they could stay, they fled back to the Demon Realm in a panic.
And those psychics from Sacred Mountain, as if fueled by adrenaline, pursued them all the way.
So…
The Demon Realm suddenly became lively…
Hundreds of psychics managed to turn the vast Demon Realm into utter chaos!
In addition to this, there was the news of the Demon Kings' deaths.
As this news spread, the entire Demon Race descended into complete pandemonium!
Some factions immediately began to band together and seize territory!
Now, apart from some remote corners that no one bothered to claim, the entire Demon Race was in an uproar!
Ye Fan and the little demon girl had just arrived in the Demon Realm and witnessed this lively scene.
The sounds of killing and the glow of battle were everywhere, audible and visible from a great distance.
The two of them only learned of all this after apprehending a passing demon.
Seeing that the little demon girl seemed a bit worried, Ye Fan decided to accompany her back home first.
The Royal City.
The little demon girl's country had also experienced some warfare, but it was mostly due to being caught in the crossfire of other battles.
After all, her country's influence was too small, and ordinary demons didn't pay it much attention…
After a brief period of handling matters, the situation was basically stabilized.
"I remember seeing those clues in the library before, but I've forgotten which book it was in," the little demon girl said, pulling Ye Fan towards the Royal Palace's library. "It seems we'll have to search slowly."
"I don't think it's necessary," Ye Fan replied, shaking his head. "If I'm not mistaken, I should have already found it."
"You found it?" the little demon girl asked, clearly surprised.
"I have some clues, but I'm not sure if it's the place you mentioned." Ye Fan proposed, "How about this: I'll go and take a look, and you stay here to stabilize the situation."
"That's fine… I'll come find you after I've finished dealing with my family affairs," the little demon girl nodded. "Be careful."
Although her country was temporarily stable, there was fighting everywhere around, and various situations were bound to arise.
Now that her parents and that treacherous elder brother were dead, the succession to the throne naturally fell to her.
But the little demon girl had no interest in the throne, so she naturally had to arrange the subsequent matters.
Fortunately, she had a younger brother below her, so she could hand over the matter of ascending the throne to him.
The enthronement of a new emperor would also involve issues of power transition, all of which she personally had to handle.
After bidding farewell to the little demon girl, Ye Fan leaped rapidly in one direction.
It turned out that when he first returned to the Demon Realm, he had felt that summoning sensation once again!
Although he wasn't sure if this place was the same as the one the little demon girl mentioned, his intuition told him that whatever was summoning him must be extraordinary!
Although Ye Fan still couldn't fly, his speed was already at a sky-high level!
Many demons who were busy fighting often felt a gust of wind blow past, only to find nothing when they looked again.
Ye Fan paid no mind to these demons.
After all, he wasn't a native of this continent and didn't have much of an opinion on the so-called enmity between humans and demons.
As long as these demons didn't cause trouble in the human realm, he couldn't be bothered.
He'd leave them to those psychics to deal with…
Ye Fan's speed was astonishing!
Each leap could cover a distance of thousands, even tens of thousands of miles.
About half an hour later, Ye Fan stopped before an open space.
This area seemed to be a desolate region of the Demon Realm, with nothing for tens of thousands of miles around.
Moreover, the demons seemed to have some apprehension about this place, instinctively avoiding it.
Perhaps this was a kind of forbidden area for the demons.
But Ye Fan had no interest in researching these matters now.
Suspended in the air ahead was a palace-like structure.
However, the structure was shrouded in gray mist and black lightning, making it difficult to see clearly.
Strangely, the palace was upside down.
