In the darkest keeps to sunny palaces, anywhere there was power and resources to be had, the Fiends had their thralls reaching into them. Yet, the unrivaled siphoning of lives over billions of years had made them complacent.
The reports of a dangerous dragon were taken seriously as they had come from the Great One, but that was all. They simply took his orders as gospel and that was the end of it before returning to their pursuits.
The loss of a single Celestial Field realm was nothing to most of them. Ants were not worth their time.
Outside of the Eastern Continent, the majority of Fiends did share the urgency of that area.
It was only when 3 demons wrecked havoc after being newly ascended and a weapon made by that same dragon seemed to kill them at a distance through their thralls!
