When talking about the devils of the Nine Underworlds, Yan Zhaoge, the Encompassing Emperor and the Brocade Emperor no longer avoided Meng Wan.
Listening quietly by the side, Meng Wan could not help but sigh in admiration upon hearing the name of the Primordial Heavenly Lord, "Back in the Eight Extremities World, while I knew how terrifying the Nine Underworlds were, I had not thought that they would actually be this powerful."
Yan Zhaoge said, "Ever since ancient times, with the long passage of time, while the Dao prevails and the Devils vanish most of the time, no one can deny the power of the Nine Underworlds."
"The Primordial Heavenly Devil fought against the Jade Clear Founding Master for the throne. I believe he lost?" Meng Wan asked.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "This is only natural. Therefore, the Lord of Primordial Beginning is still the Lord of Primordial Beginning while the 'Primordial Heavenly Devil' can only be renamed the Primordial Heavenly Devil."
The Encompassing Emperor said, "The Primordial Heavenfiend was indeed defeated, and he was even suppressed by the Primordial Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning later on, never to emerge again. However, if he were to reappear in the world, it would probably be a scene of doomsday."
"If we really want to talk about doomsday, we'll have to wait until the Doomsday Heavenly Devil is born." The Brocade Emperor now said leisurely, "After all, he is like the Lord of Numinous Treasure, an existence that symbolizes the transformation of all things into nothingness."
Meng Wan recited softly, "Doomsday Heavenly Devil …"
Yan Zhaoge explained from the side, "While it's said that there are the Twelve Devilish Gods, one of them has never appeared in this world, and has always been missing a spot. That would be the last of the Six Ancestral Devils."
"Ancestral Fiends are all Connate Godfiends. They existed before the Creation of the Heaven and Earth. This one is the only exception."
"Although he is an Ancestral Fiend, the ancestor of all fiends, he will be born at the end of the world, the end of the Postcelestial realm."
"Actually, it's still unknown what his real name is. 'Doomsday Heavenly Devil' is a name people gave him based on his power. As time passed, it became his real name."
Meng Wan understood, "Just like the founder of the Prime Clear lineage, the Lord of Numinous Treasure, who symbolizes the transformation of all living things from existence to non-existence, signifying the destruction of everything, the descent of the Dharma Ending, and the disappearance of creation?"
The Encompassing Emperor nodded. "Exactly. The Doomsday Heavenly Fiend is the symbol of the end of the world. The moment it descends into the world, it also represents the arrival of the true great calamity of this world."
"Primordial Skyfiend and Doomsday Skyfiend with one head and one tail are so powerful. The other four Ancestral Fiends aren't simple either," said Meng Wan with a sigh.
Yan Zhaoge laughed, "Isn't that so?"
He pointed at the Nine Hells where everyone was. "This Nine Hells is the corpse of the second Ancestral Devil after the Primordial Heaven Devil, the Creation Heaven Devil."
Meng Wan's gaze flickered, "I remember that it was recorded in ancient texts that the vastness of the Nine Underworlds was a world that existed before the Great Calamity and our entire human world. They were like two poles of existence. Such a world was actually formed from the corpse of a great devil?"
The Brocade Emperor laughed softly, "Wan 'er, while the Creation Heavenly Devil has perished, whether or not he is powerful still depends on who killed him."
"The one who killed the Creation Heavenly Devil was one of our Daoism's Three Clear Grand Masters, the Prime Clear Sect's Grand Master Numinous Treasure."
Meng Wan blinked her eyes. "No wonder."
His hands behind his back, the Brocade Emperor leisurely gazed at the darkness of the Nine Underworlds beyond this foreign dimension, "While it is an existence that is like a polar opposite of the human realm, the Nine Underworlds is barren at the end of the day. Therefore, it would naturally try to encroach upon our great thousand worlds of the human realm."
"Perhaps this can also be said to be a form of yearning."
"The Nine Underworlds coincides with the place where the Primordial Heaven Devil was sealed, also preserving a final bit of vitality for the Devils in order to prevent the Primordial Heaven Devil from breaking out of the seal, making it hard for them to exterminate the Nine Underworlds."
The Brocade Emperor swivelled his head and glanced at Yan Zhaoge, "After the Primordial Heaven Devil and the Creation Heavenly Devil, the third Ancestral Devil is known as the Grand Heavenly Devil and the fourth Ancestral Devil is known as the Faceless Heavenly Devil."
Meng Wan was taken aback slightly, "Grand … Heavenly Devil?"
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "The Grand Heavenly Devil is the devilish incarnation of the Grand Clear Lord of Dao and Virtue of one of our Three Clear Grand Masters, while the Faceless Heavenly Devil is the devilish incarnation of the ancient Buddha Amitabha."
"The two peak bigwigs seized the position of the Ancestral Devil with their great wisdom and might, having already severed the fortune of the Devils to a certain extent. Therefore, throughout the endless years that followed, it was mostly the Dao that prevailed and the Devils that prevailed."
"Even if there was a time when the Dao declined and the Devils prevailed, it was only for a brief moment."
"Therefore, other than the Sixth Ancestral Devil who had never truly descended into the world, there was only the Fifth Ancestral Devil, the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil, who had always been active in the past," Yan Zhaoge said as he shrugged, "Still, that was a very long time ago."
"In our current era, long before the Great Calamity, Ancestral Devils were rarely seen. Those who wreaked havoc between the heavens and the earth were the last six of the Twelve Devilish Gods, the Six Supreme Devils."
Yan Zhaoge's gaze fell on the two intermingling sword-intents before him, "This Sword Devil Yin Shiyang is the incarnation of the Devil who occupies the position of Aged Gold of the Six Supreme Devils."
From becoming a Devil to truly becoming a Ruler of the devilish dao, a process of growth was still required.
It was just that this process of growth was extremely short for Yin Shiyang who had already become the incarnation of a Supreme Devil.
Still, this process had already been severed by Yan Xintang.
The Sword Devil Yin Shiyang had become history.
The Encompassing Emperor now said, "While Yin Shiyang is dead, the Supreme Devils are not extinguished as they merely await their next rebirth. The Devils who occupy the position of Aged Gold of the Five Elements were the Spear Devil, the Sabre Devil and many others. After the Great Calamity, the Sword Devil Yin Shiyang appeared. Afterwards, another Devil of Aged Gold will be reborn, rising from the ashes."
The so-called Six Supreme Devils were the Heart Devils and the Devils of the Five Elements.
The names of the Devils of the Five Elements were not fixed.
For example, the Devils who occupied the position of Aged Gold. After the initial Spear Devil had perished, the Sabre Devil had been reborn, rising and falling afterwards until the Sword Devil Yin Shiyang.
The Devils who occupied the position of Earth included the Earth Devil, the Earth Devil, the Stone Devil and so on.
The Devils who occupied the position of Water included the Ice Devil, the Water Devil, the Fog Devil, the Blood Devil and so on.
There were also instances where the same Devils were reborn, yet not the same person.
Throughout the ages, it was not just a single epoch where devils were reborn after their deaths. While many Devils had perished completely, the Twelve Devilish Gods had never been extinguished aside from the Creation Devil.
Still, while they would be reborn after their deaths, an opportunity was required as well.
A lifeform that was compatible with them might appear in the next instant, or it might not appear for a thousand years or even ten thousand years. In that case, these Devils would only be able to lie dormant between life and death, quietly waiting.
"In the ancient texts of pre-Great Calamity times, of the Six Supreme Devils, only the Heart Devil and the Shadow Devil who first occupied the position of Wood have always existed. The other four have already perished many times," Yan Zhaoge looked at the Encompassing Emperor and the Brocade Emperor.
The Brocade Emperor smiled, saying, "After the Great Calamity, there has never been any news of the Heart Devil and the Shadow Devil having perished."
Yan Zhaoge looked at the two streaks of sword-light before him, "It has already been over two thousand years since this Sword Devil perished. I wonder who the new Devil of Aged Gold will be when he is reborn after his death."
