The old man of the Heavenly Secrets looked at the figure, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately said, "The Alliance Against Heaven!"

At this moment, the Venerables who were fighting fiercely with Zhao Loutian were horrified, because they trembled all over when they heard the words "defying the heavens".

This was perhaps the most shocking day for them to date.

A late-stage Venerable-level Chaos Demon from beyond the heavens descended, openly overwhelming the Heavenly Mystery Elder. Furthermore, a Venerable from the Heavenly Alliance also arrived.

The shadowy presence of the Anti-Heaven Alliance can be seen in many major events.

They were sworn enemies, like fire and water, with the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets.

Their leader is also a late-stage Venerable level expert with a mysterious identity. All that is known is that his combat strength is absolutely comparable to that of the Heavenly Mystery Elder.

At this moment, the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance looked indifferent and said, "Step back. If you really want to make a move, you are definitely no match for me and this fellow Daoist working together."

The old man's face was gloomy; he hadn't expected such a turn of events.

He frowned and said:

"Does your Heaven-Defying Alliance also intend to get involved in this matter?"

"nature."

The leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance spoke in a leisurely, ethereal tone.

The old man with the secrets of the heavens had a gloomy expression. He knew that he was no match for the two men, and if he wanted to leave, neither of them could stop him.

The next moment, the old man of heavenly secrets immediately said, "Come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the many Venerable Ones present couldn't wait to follow him away, not wanting to stay there for even a moment longer.

After all, who would want to die in battle after cultivating to the Venerable Realm?

A moment later, only Jiang Shu, Zhao Luotian, and the so-called leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance remained.

Jiang Shu's eyes flashed with a hint of caution as he spoke, "Thank you for helping me out of this predicament. May I ask your name?"

"Just address me as 'fellow Daoist'."

The leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance slowly stood up and then said, "This is not a place to stay for long. Please follow me, fellow Daoist."

"it is good."

Jiang Shu nodded immediately.

It wasn't that he trusted this leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance; they had only met by chance, so how could he possibly trust him?

The real reason was that he had a premonition that if he didn't leave soon, something else might happen.

Then he looked up and glanced at Zhao Luotian in the distance.

At this moment, the sect leader of Luo Tian Sect showed no sign of rage or anger; instead, he became extremely calm.

It seemed as if he had regained his senses.

"strangeness……"

Jiang Shu spoke with a strange feeling in his heart, and without any hesitation, stepped onto that dark river.

Unless a saint intervenes, he has the ability to protect himself.

Not to mention, even a saint can travel between the two realms and return to the vast and boundless domain.

But this would make coming back extremely difficult.

At the same time, Zhao Luotian followed closely behind.

In the blink of an eye, both the three of them and the dark river transformed into a strange, twisted shadow, which then vanished without a trace.

Whoosh!

The long river swept in, and even the last remaining trace became ethereal and elusive.

Several hours later, someone else arrived.

However, this time there were only two people.

One was the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, and the other was a man dressed in loose robes.

The man was covered in stubble and reeked of alcohol, appearing extremely unruly. Now, as the old man of the Heavenly Secrets pulled him over, his eyes still held a hint of drowsiness, as if he had just woken up from a drunken stupor.

"Calculate it for me, find out the whereabouts of the extraterrestrial demon!"

The old man of heavenly secrets immediately spoke up.

"Do I really need to calculate this? It's all preordained by fate, why should I calculate it?"

The man immediately took a swig of wine, closed his eyes, and decided to sleep on the vast ocean.

"you!"

The old man of the heavens immediately showed a hint of anger and said, "The demons from beyond the heavens are not within the realm of cause and effect, why don't you hurry up and make your move?"

"How am I supposed to calculate this in the context of cause and effect?"

The man looked somewhat innocent.

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed in various ways, and finally he let out a cold laugh, a cold laugh born of anger.

……

Meanwhile, in a dark and secluded place, Jiang Shu descended from the deep, long river, stood with his hands behind his back, swept his gaze around, and then asked, "What is this place? Is it your headquarters?"

"good……"

The leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance spoke calmly, adding, "This is also the gathering place for us, the Heaven-Defying Alliance."

"unbelievable?"

Jiang Shu's lips curled slightly, and he said, "You have quite the big mouth. Could it be that you're the one who drove Zhao Luotian mad?"

Curious, he decided to speak up.

He had just scanned the surroundings, and if the other party truly harbored malicious intentions, he could simply charge out with his strength.

Moreover, with the Tongtian Jianmu in hand, unless multiple countermeasures are taken in advance, it is almost impossible to stop his spatial teleportation and leaps.

"No! I'm not crazy, I just took this opportunity to see the truth of the world!"

In that instant, Zhao Luotian roared wildly, like a trapped beast howling.

Jiang Shu frowned slightly.

"What do you mean? What did you see?"

"me……"

A hint of fear flashed in Zhao Luotian's eyes. He forced himself to calm down for a moment and said, "I saw countless heads, whether they were from the demon race, the human race, or some other kind of alien, all pieced together."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and suddenly grabbed his head. As he spoke, tears streamed down his face.

"That was a monster, a monster beyond my imagination, a monster that saw everyone as food and food!"

Zhao Luotian roared and howled, his voice filled with pain.

"A monster pieced together from countless heads?"

Jiang Shu's expression froze for a moment, then he suddenly remembered this similar existence.

Prior to this, the mechanical monster attacked the Mingkuang Star Sector, but was eventually repelled by their combined efforts.

At the last moment, Jiang Shu's tentacles shattered the mechanical giant's protective barrier, revealing the truth beneath its body.

He saw countless energy cores, body nodes, mechanical bodies...

It looked like a monster pieced together from countless machines!

Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of hesitation in them, before asking, "Is this what you're talking about?"

He raised his hand, and energy gathered in his palm, which then suddenly transformed into an image.

In that image, a mechanical giant stands in the universe.

At this moment, a corner of the gloom on the mechanical giant's body was torn off, revealing its terrifying true form.

Upon seeing that image, Zhao Luotian trembled violently, his pupils contracted sharply, and even his breathing became extremely unstable, as if he might completely lose control at any moment. But the next moment, a shadow suddenly loomed over him, ultimately enveloping Zhao Luotian's body.

A force calmed his mind, preventing this mid-stage Venerable expert from going completely insane.

At the same time, the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance spoke calmly: "Fellow Daoist, have you seen this before?"

"I have not only seen him, but I have even fought him head-on. Unfortunately, I am no match for him."

Jiang Shu sighed and spoke.

"It seems that you are no ordinary extraterrestrial demon."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance spoke with some surprise.

"What chaos? Isn't it just subspace? For us Venerables, we can cross it directly if we want to."

"Indeed, if we were at the same level, we could easily cross it if we wanted to. However, I am not as relaxed and carefree as you are, fellow Daoist."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Fellow Daoist, you have been in this world for some time now. You must have many questions in your mind. Let's start our conversation with these questions."

"You ask, I answer."

"Oh?"

A glint of light immediately appeared in Jiang Shu's eyes.

Clearly, he had many questions in his mind, and it would be best if the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance could explain them to him.

After all, the person in front of him is a late-stage Venerable Realm expert, and he must know far more than ordinary people.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Shu immediately spoke up, "May I ask if you have ever explored the outer space or what I call the subspace?"

"Yes, but only a small taste."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance spoke calmly: "A Venerable once tried to step into it, and then he perished."

"They did not perish in the waves of space and time, but died for other reasons. No matter who wanted to go deeper, they would only have this one ending."

Who did it?

"destiny."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance spoke.

fate?

Upon hearing the other party use such a vague term, Jiang Shu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Isn't using those two words a bit too much of a joke for you and me?"

"Does fellow Daoist think I'm joking?"

The leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance gave a helpless smile, then said, "I know you won't accept this easily, fellow Daoist. How about this, let's put aside this so-called fate for now, and I'll take you there to witness it for yourself in a moment."

"it is good."

Jiang Shu nodded slightly.

As for the so-called witness, he was quite curious at this point.

"So what is this world's attitude towards us powerful beings from outside the subspace?"

"If it were me, I would try my best to preserve it, because it would be like bringing life and change to the world. But what about them?"

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance sneered and said, "They will not hesitate to kill them in order to erase the influence of external factors on the world."

"Variables? Factors?"

Jiang Shu was filled with doubt.

Knowing what is called divine will.

Whether it was the vast and desolate realm or the demon realm, the Bashe demon ancestor had told him that it carried a sense of divine will.

As for the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor, he once said that he seemed to have become a pawn of the will of Heaven, sent to destroy the immortal embryo.

That place has never been known to be subject to any potential destruction.

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, then asked, "I wonder how many extraterrestrial visitors you have under your command?"

"There were thirteen in total, six of whom have already perished. Besides the human race, there was this one who claimed to be an orc, and two of them were from the spirit race."

"I see……"

Jiang Shu nodded inwardly, and then continued to ask questions.

"In this world, how many experts are there at the late stage of the Venerable realm?"

"If we include one from our organization, there are seven in total."

"Seven!?"

Jiang Shu stared in disbelief.

There are seven experts at the late-stage Venerable level, but how many are left?
His eyes were filled with disbelief.

To be honest, this number far exceeded his expectations; it was far too much!
What about the other Venerables at the mid-stage and early-stage?

Who knows how many there are!

Jiang Shu's pupils contracted slightly, deeply shocked.

There are actually seven powerful experts at the late stage of the Venerable realm in this small star field.

It truly shocked him.

How many resources does humanity possess in the vast universe?

However, how many powerful individuals are there in the later stages of the Venerable realm?
Although this number is certainly much more than seven, this is on the premise that the resources possessed are countless times greater than those of this star field!
A hint of surprise and uncertainty flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "How did you cultivate to this level? Could you show me your techniques?"

The next moment, Jiang Shu immediately realized that something was wrong with what he had said.

However, the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance in front of him nodded slightly and then said, "It's just a small matter."

With a flick of the finger, numerous characters flew out.

Each character appears in the void, symbolizing a different martial art.

Of course, only a small part of these techniques have been revealed.

Seeing this, Jiang Shu actually agreed that the other party had seen other extraterrestrial visitors.

After all, it seems that all the creatures in this world have something called a spiritual root or spiritual core in their minds.

If they want to read something, they only need to connect that thing with some thoughts.

There's no need for such trouble.

He looked at these techniques, his brows furrowed, and he was immediately filled with confusion.

"These techniques are good, but they are by no means unparalleled."

Jiang Shu's doubts deepened.

The leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance spoke calmly: "Fellow Daoist, I know what you are wondering about. Other Daoists from beyond the heavens have similar feelings. The reason why we have so many powerful individuals, and the density of them exceeds your imagination, is that we are destined to reach this level."

"Destiny?"

Jiang Shu's mood suddenly turned strange.

Previously it was called fate, and now it's called destiny. Even if he wanted to deliberately hide something, he wouldn't use such an absurd reason.

Or perhaps what this powerful figure said is the truth?

Jiang Shu fell into a moment of contemplation, then spoke again: "What is destiny?"

"It is predestined, determined on the day of birth, and cannot be changed."

As he finished speaking, a bitter smile appeared on the face of this late-stage Venerable expert, and he said, "Everything has already been arranged. Even if I resist, it will be of little use now."

"In a sense, the outcome of everything is already predetermined by fate. Those who defy it will be punished and then reinstated to their rightful places. Only you extraterrestrials can slightly disrupt or alter it." (End of Chapter)
