## History

###  Great Emperor Falls

During the Demon War, 11 Demon Saint Soul Descends eventually gather at the Eternal Sky Continent around Xue Li, who has the Bright Moon Great Emperor trapped in a Blood Array in preparation for stealing the latter’s World's Will for Demon Realm. However, the Bright Moon Great Emperor then suddenly appears to have restored himself before instantly obliterating most of the Soul Descends present, leaving only Demon Saints Xue Li and Huo Bo at the scene. Xue Li and Huo Bo then manage to hold off the Bright Moon Great Emperor until all the other Demon Saints’ true bodies can arrive at Eternal Sky Continent. Under the subsequent siege of 12 Demon Saints, the Bright Moon Great Emperor surprisingly still makes an impressive last ditch effort to escape, but he is then fatally sneak attacked by the Night Shadow Great Emperor. The hundreds of Half-Saints of Demon Realm then make their moves toward the Bright Moon Great Emperor in an attempt to gain his World's Will.

Meanwhile, Bei Li Mo and Xue Li proceed to tease Yu Ru Meng, with the consent of Huang Wu Ji, as a Half-Saint by the name of Yue Sang makes a move to attack Yang Kai. To their surprise, however, the already dying Bright Moon Great Emperor then quickly slays Yue Sang before tricking Yang Kai into killing him, allowing a Star Boundary cultivator to retain its World's Will. The Half-Saints and Demon Saints then make a move to pursue Yang Kai, who makes use of Zhui Feng's legendary speed to flee. Yu Ru Meng is then blocked by Huang Wu Ji from interfering in the other Demon Saints’ pursuit, but she then manages to momentarily shake him off.

To the Demon Saints' surprise, Yang Kai manages to successfully escape through a Territory Gate leading out of Eternal Sky Continent before using Space Principles to seal the exit behind him. Demon Saint Chi Yan then tries to open the seal with brute force, but this only results in the formation of a Void Corridor leading into Nihility. Huang Wu Ji then orders the Demon Saints to block off the Two Worlds Entrance of Demon Realm as they search for Yang Kai. During this time, Huang Wu Ji also makes the declaration that Yang Kai must be killed unless he becomes demonized.

### Trapped in the Void

Later, Yang Kai indeed becomes demonized as a High Rank Demon King, successfully preventing the Demon Saints from making a move against him. Over a year later, Zu Liao and Chi Yan take notice of the disappearances of numerous mainlands within Demon Realm. As he witnesses Yu Ru Meng's domain being devoured, Zu Liao is surprised to find his old enemy Chang Tian standing guard there. After correctly deducing that Yang Kai is behind the disappearance of the mainlands, Zu Liao then engages in battle with Chang Tian. At the same time, Chi Yan, the neighbor of Bei Li Mo, also makes a move toward Yang Kai. However, Bei Li Mo then surprisingly protects Yang Kai from a shocked Chi Yan. After regrouping, Zuo Liao and Chi Yan try to pursue a now escaping Yang Kai and his group, but they then find that the Territory Gate the latter group passed through to leave the now destabilized domain has been sealed behind them. Zu Liao and Chi Yan then end up stuck in the Void, using their connection to Demon Realm as Demon Saints to slowly make their way back to it. At some point, Chi Yan and Zu Liao finally make it back to Demon Realm, where they then find that their domains and subordinates have all been made to disappear by Yang Kai, who also managed to escape through the Two Worlds Passage back to Star Boundary with Yu Ru Meng, Chang Tian, and Bei Li Mo.

### Captured Great Emperors

Yang Kai managed to seal the Two Worlds Passage during his escape. However, over a decade later, Can Ye manages to reopen the Two Worlds Passage, allowing the Demon Saints to shockingly enter Star Boundary and confront its 7 remaining Great Emperors in addition to the 3 Demon Saint-level powerhouses that Yang Kai escaped with. Huang Wu Ji, Ge Meng, Chi Yan, Xue Li, Huo Bo, Fu Yu, Mo Kan, You Qiu, Wu Hua, and Zu Liao likewise match their numbers evenly. However, the Demon Saints don’t stay in place for long, and immediately proceed to make their way toward different directions throughout Star Boundary. Startled, the Star Boundary top powerhouses proceed to pursue the 10 enemy Demon Saints individually.

Huang Wu Ji manages to isolate the Iron Blood Great Emperor in the Northern Territory. Although he is the strongest Demon Saint, Huang Wu Ji proves to not exactly be Zhan Wu Hen's opponent in Star Boundary. Regardless, Huang Wu Ji and the other 9 Demon Saints suddenly and confidently start a strange chant as the millions of corpses of the Demon Race forces outside the Two Worlds Passage fill the air with Demon Qi. Horrified, Zhan Wu Hen attacks Huang Wu Ji, who then proceeds to grab and hold the former while smiling with complete disregard for any damage suffered. The Great Emperors are then further shocked when the Demon Saints somehow appear to break the World Barrier of Star Boundary to make a connection with Demon Realm, something that should normally be impossible for a Demon Saint to achieve.

After the 10 connections are formed all over Star Boundary, a giant hand comes from the Void of each passage and grabs both the Great Emperors and Demon Saints into a different space, effectively separating them from Star Boundary. Meanwhile, Star Boundary starts to be progressively corroded by Demon Qi as the Demon Race continue to invade from the now 10 Two Worlds Passages that have opened all over Star Boundary.

### Demon Saints Sacrificed

Eventually, the Demon Saints are shocked when Wu Kuang/Duan Hongchen opens a Void Corridor into their separate space. Huang Wu Ji and the others are overwhelmed by the might of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, and the Great Emperors are freed from the separate space. Mo Sheng, who is struggling to completely corrode Star Boundary against the newly born Void Great Emperor, becomes infuriated as his plan has been ruined. Desperate, Mo Sheng takes control of all the Demon Race and Demon Qi in Star Boundary and summons it to himself. All the Demon Saints, except for Yu Ru Meng and Bei Li Mo, who are saved by Yang Kai, are unable to resist as they are each sacrificed to Mo Sheng so that he can form and later heal his giant flesh body.
