He flew from midair, heading straight into the locust forest of Jinlan Mountain.
In the world of the Yin Devils, the rushing blood waves suddenly hit a great dam, raising countless splashes.
The cultivator who had been leading the way appeared in the Yin Devil world with eyes closed and then vanished from here directly.
The next moment, the cultivator outside immediately lost control, his body shriveled rapidly, and he plunged headfirst into the locust forest.
Observing such a mutation, Freedom Heaven, who had been squatting in the locust forest to hone himself with the aura of hungry ghosts, looked up, sniffed gently, and the faint smell of blood surfaced. And that hollow-eyed cultivator burned out all his strength and died.
This feeling made his scalp tingle immediately.
It was definitely the power of the Heart Demon, and that cultivator was controlled by the Heart Demon.
The emphasis was not on the Heart Demon, but on the other powers.
Others found it difficult to sense, but he was not human.
Freedom Heaven was restless and anxious. Looking at the hungry ghosts around him with greedy eyes, he knew it was time to make important choices again.
The Abyssal Rift was in battle, with a large number of devils, most of them being cannon fodder.
These cannon fodders were extremely useful, so numerous that they became a burden under such circumstances, and would inevitably be consumed on a large scale.
He smelled the blood of devils, the blood of the Great Devil, and even sensed a trace of the faint Yin Devil power.
Plus, there was that cultivator bewitched by the Heart Demon.
In his eyes, it was a blatant open road.
That cultivator was used as a human Dao Mark, paving the way for the Yin Devil.
The dense, seemingly indissoluble scent of blood, which he couldn't see but could feel, had to be the blood road of sacrifice created by the Yin Devil.
He had dealt with the Yin Devil before, though sparingly...
Okay, he looked down on the Yin Devils.
He held contempt for those who only hid their heads and showed their tails, mingling in human territories, only daring to harm ordinary people.
Unlike him, who never fished in shallow waters and only fought high-stakes games.
As a Heavenly Demon, he looked at those Yin Devils squarely, even considering them highly if he met their gaze.
But one thing he knew clearly.
Yin Devils almost never needed direct confrontation; they only dug trenches and prepared pits for other demon creatures.
Wherever the Yin Devil Domain expanded, the probability of people getting devilic would soar significantly in the future.
This was why many cultivators, who had never been devilic before, smooth in every endeavor, persistent and unyielding in temperament, ultimately faced the Heart Devil Tribulation.
Everyone born in the Yin Devil Domain, without exception, had the Devil Seed planted early on.
As Freedom Heaven was in turmoil, Lou Huai appeared.
Lou Huai carried the dried corpse, came to Freedom Heaven, and glanced at him.
"You surely know why this person burned everything he had just to rush into the locust forest, don't you?"
"Yes, he must have been taken over by the Heart Demon."
"Why did he do this?"
Freedom Heaven paused, contemplating his answer.
"I need to see the master, I'm not entirely sure myself."
As he spoke, Yu Ziqing descended from the sky, looking at Freedom Heaven.
"If you have something to say, say it."
"Master, I sensed that the Yin Devils are sacrificing through the blood road, coming all the way from the east, having already extended beyond the locust forest."
"Yin Devils?" Yu Ziqing was slightly taken aback.
To be honest, he had nearly forgotten about the Yin Devils.
Because the nature of the Yin Devils was only to harm mortals, never showing up outside their domain.
Even in the Divine Dynasty, there were no records about the Yin Devils.
Because, for countless years, the Yin Devils never faced the strong, nor did they ever encounter slightly stronger cultivators.
That's the real stealth approach.
Yu Ziqing was not very concerned about the demons from the Abyss attacking the Abyssal Rift this time, and never thought it would involve the Yin Devils.
"Master, with the blood road of sacrifice extending here, I believe the Seven Yin King might personally make a move.
Because that Heart Demon has a drop of the Devil King's True Blood.
By using it as a guide, plus sacrificing enough living beings to pave the blood road, it should be sufficient for the Seven Yin King to act personally once.
Master, please be cautious."
Freedom Heaven spoke these words solemnly, dispelling all the lingering hesitation in his heart.
Seeing Lou Huai, especially his calm demeanor as he strolled through the locust forest, with a face bordering on a sly smile, he made up his mind.
Having made a choice, he decided to follow this path to the end, breaking through obstacles along the way.
He couldn't think of switching sides at every minor hinderance and danger.
Even among the devils, those who wavered were doomed to die.
The Seven Yin King was one of the rulers among the Yin Devils, a king among kings.
He was secretly ruthless, he bet big.
Winning might mean a chance to become the Heavenly Devil King, while losing would mean quick death with no fuss.
Yu Ziqing observed Freedom Heaven with a half-smile, sizing him up.
This guy had been a Heavenly Demon for many years, living among humans, and apparently wasn't stupid.
If he truly believed he was the Earth Devil Venerate, he wouldn't merely have been told to be cautious now.
If he truly was the Earth Devil Venerate, even if the Seven Yin King acted personally, the two being co-rulers of the devils could secretly make peace with just a nod.
Even if a fight ensued, it would be a staged act at best.
The Seven Yin King, even if mad, knew well enough that he couldn't kill the Earth Devil Venerate.
The immortality of the Earth Devil Venerate was not just because humans had difficulty killing him completely, but similarly, demons had almost no chance to kill the Earth Devil Venerate completely.
