"Your Excellency! This is dire—!"
At the palace entrance, Zhong Yichuan rushed in, his eyes red with panic.
"Your Excellency! That person! That person is heading towards the demon realm!"
Long Jinhan's expression darkened. His well-defined fingers clenched into a fist, and a terrifying pressure spread uncontrollably.
"When did he depart..."
Zhong Yichuan panted, shouting in alarm, "Yesterday! Yesterday, at midnight!"
Half a day! That meant, with his speed, he would reach the demon realm in another half an hour!
Long Jinhan extended his large palm, violent spiritual energy raging, attempting to tear space as he always did.
But to everyone's surprise, the space had barely torn open a tiny fissure before it was immediately sealed and restored to normal.
"Damn it, they truly tampered with it..." Long Jinhan's eyes narrowed, a near-murderous rage simmering within him.
"This is!" Zhong Yichuan's pupils trembled. "His ability!"
Space attributes are normal, while inverse space attributes are abnormal properties resulting from the distortion of space attributes.
Space attributes can distort space, and even powerful individuals can create their own world amidst spatial turbulence.
Inverse space attributes, however, do the exact opposite of space attributes—inverse space attributes can restore everything that space attributes have distorted...
In other words, Long Jinhan couldn't tear through the barrier and couldn't instantly reach Bai Ran.
"The Divine Emperor knew you would intervene!?" Zhong Yichuan's jaw dropped, his face incredibly flustered.
Long Jinhan suppressed his anger and strode out of the palace.
"Roar—" A dragon's roar echoed through heaven and earth. A giant, dark figure coiled amidst the clouds, obscuring half the sky.
Due to the contract, he deeply felt Long Jinhan's rage and immense killing intent.
When Zhong Yichuan ran out of the palace, his master was nowhere to be seen.
...
"Forget it, things will sort themselves out. I refuse to believe that with so many of us, we can't defeat those bastards from the Divine Realm!"
Jiang Ye stood with his hands on his hips, exuding an aura of "kill one, kill a pair."
Xiao Zi sighed. Life was hard.
Facing this situation, he was also helpless. "We can only hope those elders don't show up."
If only the five Great Holy Lords led the troops, their strength could still win. But if the elders also made a move, they could only seek help from the little ghost's man.
After all, in the entire Nine Heavens, only the Demon Realm could contend with the Divine Realm.
The next instant, a shiver ran down Bai Ran's spine, and she involuntarily shivered.
She suddenly turned her head, her vast mental power scattering outwards, instantly enveloping more than half of the demon race.
"Who is it, heading this way at extreme speed!"
Bai Ran's expression tightened. Her intuition told her that the approaching party was not friendly and possessed terrifying power.
"Rumble—"
The earth suddenly trembled, accompanied by an extremely powerful hurricane that shook outwards.
"What's going on!" Jiang Ye lost his balance and stumbled back a few steps.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor Ring emitted an unprecedented, dazzling red glow, vivid and blood-like, making one uneasy.
"Someone is attacking the barrier!" Lin Ze's gaze sharpened, his teeth clenched.
That tremor just now was the protective barrier of the clan under attack!
"Could it be people from the Divine Realm? I'll go see!" Jing Feng's expression was grim as he ran straight outside.
Bai Ran followed closely, looking at Vermilion Bird. "Carry me up!"
Vermilion Bird nodded, quickly transforming into its original form and carrying Bai Ran into the sky.
As Jing Feng stepped out of the palace into the courtyard, he saw a small figure hovering above the barrier.
"How! How could it be him—!" Jing Feng's face instantly turned as pale as paper, his trembling eyes filled with disbelief.
Jiang Ye waved his hand in front of him. "What's wrong? Who is this person? Why are you so scared?"
"He..." Jing Feng's heart sank to the bottom, his voice trembling.
"He is the former Demon Lord... His Excellency's... biological father..."
"Long Yu..."
The Demon Lord's biological father!!!
Everyone present's expressions drastically changed. Their previous composure and confidence vanished.
"How could it be him..." Xiao Zi clenched his fists, staring intently at the figure in the sky.
The former Demon Lord, Long Yu, was immensely powerful and renowned. With his mastery of inverse space techniques, he had once been invincible.
But one day, Long Yu suddenly disappeared. Long Jinhan searched the entire Nine Heavens but found no trace.
Now, even Xiao Zi thought he was dead, yet he reappeared so brazenly before them?
"This guy... abandoned the Demon Realm and became a dog for that old bastard, the Divine Emperor!"
Xiao Zi gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, his spiritual energy instantly becoming violent and murderous.
Five days ago, the long-lost Long Yu suddenly released a trace of his aura, which Long Jinhan detected and frantically searched for.
This was why he hadn't seen Bai Ran for five consecutive days. Who knew that the source of that aura was actually within the Divine Realm.
Long Yu abandoned his position as Demon Lord, abandoned the demon race citizens of the Demon Realm, and also abandoned the still young Long Jinhan.
Upon learning of his betrayal, Long Jinhan sent people to guard outside the Divine Realm, hoping for an explanation.
But not long ago, that aura vanished again, which led to Long Jinhan inquiring about his location from Jingyun earlier.
Lin Ze looked at the figure in the sky, and the command to flee instinctively arose in his mind.
Very strong... Perhaps even the Demon Lord himself might not win...
Jing Feng's eyes were bloodshot. They had calculated everything, but never expected that a war waged by one person would have such a meaning...
One person was enough to ignite a war...
Moreover, this person was His Excellency's biological father, Long Yu...
"Quite sturdy." A pleased voice sounded. Long Yu, with a look of interest, reached out and lightly touched the barrier before him.
His features were distinct, and his brows held a trace of Long Jinhan's likeness.
But on Long Yu's arms and neck, there were knife cuts, line after line, glaring and horrifying.
Not only that, but his hands and feet were shackled with enormous iron chains, looking heavy.
Bai Ran stood on Vermilion Bird's back, looking at the face so similar to Long Jinhan's, her eyes filled with coldness.
Vermilion Bird also noticed Long Yu's face and was momentarily too shocked to speak.
"Master! He looks just like the Demon Lord!"
Bai Ran's lips thinned, her brow furrowed.
