Chapter 253
The Heavenly Demon Sect was a mysterious organization.
According to rumors circulating in the martial world, it was a place where the most formidable masters gathered. Officially, the Righteous Sect was represented by the Martial Alliance, while the Evil was represented by the Blood Sect. However, traveling storytellers often claimed that the true ruler of the Central Plains was neither the government, the Martial Alliance, nor the Blood Sect, but rather the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Guang Le, a direct disciple of the Shaolin Sect’s head monk, was born under the star of Heavenly Slaughter. He destroyed Shaolin, the sect that had raised him, and began his journey to the Central Plains. Although he was a master of supreme martial arts, he couldn't stand against the elite forces of the Martial Alliance, who sought to bring him to justice for his crimes. To escape, he decided to hide in the Kunlun Mountains, a treacherous mountain range known for its harsh terrain.
Seven days later, at the foot of the mist-covered Kunlun mountain range, Guang Le stumbled upon the Heavenly Demon Sect.
“I can’t believe a place like this exists!” he had thought. Entranced, he naturally made his way toward it.
For Guang Le, who had grown bored with his monotonous life in Shaolin, this place was exciting.
The Heavenly Demon Sect strictly followed the principle of survival of the fittest. However, there was one rule: no killing among fellow sect members. As long as this rule was respected, members could learn the sect’s martial arts and continuously become stronger, building a strong foundation for power.
Despite being born under the Heavenly Slaughter star, Guang Le strictly adhered to this single rule and advanced rapidly, eventually earning the prestigious title of the Supreme Demon.
Even as he followed the sect’s rules and established himself as a dominant force within it, Guang Le carried a single burning question for more than a decade. It wasn’t just him; in fact, this question bothered many members of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Back on the fifth floor of the Core, Guang Le muttered, “Over all the years I spent in the Heavenly Demon Sect, there was one question that I just could not find an answer to. Does the Heavenly Demon even exist?”
For over twenty years in the Central Plains, Guang Le trained within the sect and rose to become one of the three Supreme Demons. Yet, he never once saw the Heavenly Demon in person.
