Chapter 792: Heading to the Origin Demon Realm

“Before heading to the Origin Demon Realm, I’d like to give each of you a gift.”
With a wave of his hand, Su Che scattered exactly a thousand porcelain bottles, each containing one anti-demon pill.
“What kind of pill is this?”
Most Immortal Emperors had never seen such a pill, as the Evil Emperor and the Sacred Mother Immortal Lord had not yet spread news about its existence—only a very small number of their subordinates were aware of it.
“This is an anti-demon pill bestowed by the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord.”
Su Che didn’t intend to reveal this secret either and once again used the Evil Emperor as a cover: “Taking one pill will grant complete immunity to the corruption posed by the power of the Origin Demon Realm for ten years. Even though you all possess high cultivation levels, it’s best if you each take one.”
“Immunity from corruption for ten whole years?”
The Immortal Emperors were overjoyed. After all, they were going to the Origin Demon Realm, where anything could happen—even Immortal Emperors could face the risk of corruption. With this pill, at least two-thirds of that risk was reduced.
“Thank you, Arbitrator.”
The Immortal Emperors bowed together once more.
Since the pills were given for free, Su Che didn’t intend to charge even a single Immortal Crystal. Mainly because he didn’t want these Immortal Emperors to encounter danger, which could weaken the overall strength of the Immortal Realm.
A thousand pills were nothing much—worth little money and with no production cost at all—so there was no need to be so stingy.
“Let’s set off. Good luck to everyone.”
At Su Che’s command, under the protection of Guang Zhong and four other Eighth Heaven Immortal Emperors, they slowly flew toward the Origin Passage.
To be honest, Su Che was also a bit nervous about going to the Origin Demon Realm. After all, it was a truly desolate place where even those with cultivation levels below that of Immortal Emperors wouldn’t dare venture.
The enormous passage, ten thousand zhang in diameter, could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people at once. A thousand Immortal Emperors and one Xuanxian flew in together.
The experience of passing through a spatial passage was slightly different from long-distance teleportation. While vision and consciousness would experience spatial distortions, the passage also induced a psychological phenomenon of time reversal.
In just a few breaths, vision and consciousness returned to normal, revealing a completely different world.
The Origin Demon Realm.
“It really resembles the Immortal-Demon Battlefield!”
Despite being in a completely unfamiliar realm, Su Che felt a sense of familiarity—it was like an infinitely expanded version of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield.
It was also a gray, endless void, extremely desolate and colorless. Giant floating rocks hung in the sky, countless like stars.

The only difference is that the floating boulders in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield are all tombs of fallen true immortals, and there aren’t many of them that are particularly large. Here, each floating boulder is as big as a planet, but not spherical—instead, they come in various highly irregular shapes, with the most extreme ones covered in giant spines that reach into the sky like hedgehogs.

“This is the Origin Demon Realm. Just one glance is enough to tell that there’s absolutely no fun here. No wonder the demons go to great lengths to seize the colorful Immortal Realm.”

Su Che thought to himself, “But these Origin Demons crave colorful worlds the most. Yet wherever they go, they turn vibrant places into desolate wastelands. These guys are truly a paradox—they really shouldn’t exist in this world.”

Lao He said, “Perhaps for them, destroying all color is some kind of ultimate pleasure.”

Su Che shook his head secretly. “I still can’t understand why Heaven created such creatures.”

“Maybe it wasn’t Heaven who created them,” Lao He guessed. “It’s possible they’re foreign invaders from another universe in chaos. They’ve destroyed one universe after another, and now it’s our turn.”

Lao He let his imagination run wild, becoming more and more terrifying. “Or maybe all the demons we know, including those nine peak Demon Ancestors, are just the vanguard of these creatures—just lowly scum. Who knows, maybe in many years, a true super demon king with world-destroying power will wander here, snap our Heavenly Dao in half, and then, hehehehe, it’ll be time to enjoy the main course…”

Su Che cursed inwardly, “Damn, you sound exactly like you’re talking about yourself!”

Despite his cursing, his heart did feel chilled after hearing that.

“What if—just what if—what he said turns out to be true? Who will save this world?”

“You, master!”

Lao He laughed. “If I were to predict, I’d say that you, Su Che, are either that super demon king who destroys everything or the savior who kills him. Haha, that’s much more interesting.”

Hearing this, Su Che felt annoyed. “I don’t want to destroy anything, nor do I want to save anything. I just want to live peacefully and make my own Immortal Prison World beautiful.”

The reason he was annoyed was that Su Che knew clearly that if a being who wanted to destroy the world really appeared, he really couldn’t ignore it.

“No matter what, we can’t ignore it; that’s exactly what bothers me.” With these chaotic thoughts in mind, Su Che guided the numerous Immortal Emperors to fly at high speed in a certain direction. Su Che didn’t even need to exert effort personally—Immortal Emperor Guangzhong was more than willing to fly alongside the Arbiter. At this speed, it was extremely easy for an Eighth Heaven Immortal Emperor, as they still had to take into account some First Heaven Immortal Emperors and couldn’t fly too fast. During the flight, a three-dimensional map appeared in Su Che’s mind, originating from that black stone tablet. With this map, one could find the entrance to the Immortal Sovereign’s treasure vault—this stone tablet was the key to unlocking it. In fact, the “token” mentioned by the deceased Master of Juechen Valley could only allow him to enter the outer areas of the vault; without the “black stone tablet” as a key, it was impossible to enter the true core. Moreover, Su Che believed that the treasures obtained by Juechen were far from worth even “one-fifth” of its value, not even one-fiftieth. They were merely some trivial items found in the outer areas. The Primordial Immortal Sovereign was the oldest among all Immortal Sovereigns in the history of the Immortal Realm and was also the strongest among them—this was recognized by all Immortal Sovereigns. The treasure left behind by such a powerful being, even after the Holy Mother, Evil Emperor, and other Immortal Sovereigns took away the most valuable treasures, would still far exceed what any Immortal Emperor could imagine. “The greatest treasure in the Immortal Realm, and I could just ignore it…” Pride surged within Su Che: “I really admire myself.” “That’s because even if all those treasures were combined, they still can’t compare to an Immortal Prison,” Lao He boasted as well. “As the chief spirit of an Immortal Prison, I’m really jealous of myself!” During the flight, they encountered some Origin Demons with low strength from time to time; none of them escaped and were all captured by the Immortal Emperors and delivered to Su Che. In the Origin Demon Realm, there were no ordinary demons—those with the lowest strength were the Copper-Winged Demons, equivalent to the level of Xuanxian. The Primordial Immortal Sovereign mastered both Primordial Immortal Energy and Primordial Demon Energy, capable of perfectly blending the powers of immortals and demons. If one could learn his method after entering the vault, perhaps the Destiny Divine Tree could also use true immortal prisoners and Origin Demons to create even more powerful Immortal Fruit.

Su Che’s calculations were as follows: “With the current over nine thousand Golden Immortal prisoners, combined with the Origin Demons of equal strength, if we can create over nine thousand even more perfect Immortal Fruit embryos, it will surely allow me to advance directly to the mid-stage of Golden Immortal in one go.” “Then, with the Qianyuan Ascension Pill, I can force myself to rise by one level, thus reaching the late stage of Golden Immortal…” Back then, Su Che had obtained a top-tier pill called the Qianyuan Ascension Pill in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield’s pill treasury. Its effect was to elevate one’s cultivation level by one small step below the Great Luo Golden Immortal. The limitation of this pill was that it could only be taken once in a lifetime; taking it a second time would turn it into a deadly poison. With only one chance, the most advantageous way to use it was to take it at the mid-stage of Golden Immortal to directly advance to the late stage. It was for this reason that Su Che set the final trial for the Immortal Emperors as capturing Demons. In the dim void, the group of Immortal Emperors flew for most of the day until Su Che suddenly gave an order: “Stop at that floating giant rock ahead!” In the void ahead, hundreds of thousands of miles away, there was a floating giant rock as large as a planet, shaped like a monster’s head, with four giant horns—two pointing forward and two pointing upward. One could even distinguish features such as eyes and nostrils on the monster’s head, though it was unclear whether they were naturally formed or deliberately crafted by the Demons. Only Su Che knew that once they found this beast-head rock, the entrance to the Immortal Lord’s treasure vault would not be far away. “I’ll wait for you all at the forehead of this beast’s head. Come back here on this day in five years. Of course, bring along your captured prey.” Su Che announced loudly, “The six hundred Immortal Emperors who capture the most will win, while the bottom four hundred will be eliminated. Let me repeat—this is mainly a competition among Immortal Emperors of the same realm, and everything depends on luck!” “Understood!” The thousand Immortal Emperors replied in unison. Then, Emperor Guangzhong asked in a deep voice, “Isn’t it a bit unsafe for the referee to wait here alone?” “It’s fine,” Su Che replied with a smile. “I have the ability to protect myself here.” Emperor Guangzhong was still somewhat worried but didn’t want to say too much; the other Immortal Emperors felt the same way. Only Emperor Diqiu, who was straightforward, spoke on behalf of everyone, expressing their concern: “You yourself said that the role of the referee is indispensable. If something happens to you here alone, wouldn’t our chances be completely lost?” “Exactly.” “Several Immortal Emperors should stay here.”

Some Immortal Emperors directly proposed, “There are only five Eighth Heaven Immortal Emperors. Why not keep them all here to protect the Arbitration Envoy? As long as they fulfill this duty, there’s no need for them to compete anymore.” This suggestion was immediately agreed upon by all the Immortal Emperors. With only five Eighth Heaven Immortal Emperors left, there was no need to eliminate any further. Having them protect Su Che, the many Immortal Emperors felt relieved.
