Jiang Mo did not log on to the dark web, fearing that his whereabouts would be exposed. Even the network system of the Ninth Division had been hacked, so the dark web would only be more dangerous.

For the hackers hiding behind the scenes, their decision to release the two videos and spatial coordinates is undoubtedly a clear indication that they are determined to fight the Trinity Group to the death.

Jiang Mo was certain that those people were constantly monitoring his account, and if they logged in, his device might be hacked in an instant.

In response, he used his new electronic devices to browse domestic news websites, reviewing all the trending news from August 15, 2016 to September 24, 2019, gradually gaining a grasp of events happening both domestically and internationally.

The gods revived, nuclear contamination caused genetic disasters, mountains and seas underwent tremendous changes, the demon king sealed off his kingdom, and secret realms entered the world... After he left, the world became more exciting than ever before, just like the 'BioExplosion' that occurred during the Cambrian period.

Those awakened individuals who received the G1 evolution reagent in the early years were only at levels 1-5.

Three years have passed, and none of the most powerful Level 5 Awakeners have been able to break through their limits. It seems as if it were their destiny to make no progress. Some even experienced premature aging and death due to the astonishing daily consumption of their cells.

Even the alternative developed by the Ninth Division—'Star Source Reagent'—has the same effect.

It was launched in 2017 and subsequently helped many ordinary people transform into superhumans. Even though many Level 4 and Level 5 Awakeners were born in the two years, their fate was no different from that of other Level 5 Awakeners.

However, those humans who later awakened their supernatural abilities due to the revival of spiritual energy, without the injection of drugs, seemed to cultivate faster, have a more stable foundation, and their numbers slowly caught up, showing extremely high potential.

In addition, martial arts, which had been abandoned for hundreds or even nearly a thousand years, have begun to shine again in this great era of competition among all living beings.

Many humans in Kyushu have embarked on martial arts cultivation, consuming exotic flowers and fruits gathered in the wild to refine their bodies and continuously evolve, resulting in multiple realms:

Blood Tempering, Mortal Transformation, Breaking Through the Void, Slaying Demons, Kings and Nobles, Reigning Supreme.

The first three realms roughly correspond to levels 1-5 of supernatural awakening, while the latter three realms far exceed them, possessing a certain ability to fight against demon generals and demon kings who wreak havoc on the mountains and rivers.

The way to measure their strength is also very simple: it's nothing more than killing a sub-king-level ferocious beast or a king-level extraordinary creature. If you can do that, you've reached that level.

This is not an official definition, but rather comes from the most widely accepted martial arts advancement system among the public, passed down orally. It is impossible to trace who specifically proposed it.

To date, there are no martial artists in the country who have reached the 'King' or 'Lord' level. The strongest are only at the Demon Slayer level, numbering around a few dozen, and even then, there is a lot of exaggeration involved.

Some of them survived a few exchanges on the battlefield, managed to escape by sheer luck, and then boasted about it.

Some of them were slain 'demon generals', but they weren't demon generals at all; they were just ferocious beasts with slightly stronger strength.

Those who are truly capable and can fight against the demon generals under the various demon kings are few and far between.

In Jiang Mo's view, the difference between entering level 5 and the peak of level 5 is no less than that between level 1 and level 5. Both involve the development of potential power within the body. The peak of level 5 can at least hold its own against the Demon Slayer Realm, but the latter should be stronger.

He had some experience in this area, after all, during the siege of the four sects, his second true body had killed several martial arts experts at the Demon Slayer Realm and level 5 awakeners from the three major academies, so his skills were similar.

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.

After finishing his last cup of tea, Jiang Mo left the pavilion and went to Siming Hall. He silently lit incense for the memorial tablets of the many sages, senior brothers, and master, and made prayers and promises in his heart.

I will teach by example and not let future generations become arrogant, prey on others, or fall into the evil path.

I will revitalize the sect, strictly abide by the precepts, carry on the past and open up the future, and restore the past glory;

I will raze the four sects to the ground, burn their lineages, leave no one alive, and settle all scores with them.

I will save my disciples and stop them from suffering. The two lineages will be united and remain in the world to carry on the legacy.

I will ascend to the other side of the sea of ​​suffering, and on behalf of all the sages and predecessors of the past and present, glimpse the limits of the three realms;

I will uphold my true self, cleanse my mind, reject countless offerings of incense, and strive to become neither an immortal nor a demon, but simply a dignified and upright person who is worthy of heaven and earth.

I will keep going, forever, until the day I grow old and pass away.

Time slips away like sand through one's fingers, and that tall figure stands quietly in place, no one knowing what he is thinking.

The disciples and the demon king outside the door were all waiting, not daring to disturb them.

The evening glow grew even more magnificent, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a long shadow of Jiang Mo, completely penetrating the shadows inside the hall.

The incense burning before the memorial tablet emitted a faint white mist that swirled around him. In the solemn atmosphere, he slowly turned, stepped out of the hall, his expression gentle and bright, and gave the instructions:

"Chengzhen, lead everyone inside and light an incense stick."

"Yes, Uncle-Master."

Chengzhen nodded softly, and he led Changqing, Zhuge Yu, Li Yan, Lu Lin and others into the hall one after another to offer incense devoutly.

Weier, Mingku, Yaowang, Yuemin, and Yueli stood outside the steps, casting admiring glances at Jiang Mo. He was simply too stunning, clad in a cloud-frost jade robe. His words and actions were no different from those of a celestial being, perfectly matching their imagination of ancient Chinese mythology.

Even without any extra words, just a glance between them gave rise to a strong intuition.

This is absolutely the most powerful being in the human world today. Any demon king or sect leader who comes here will be crushed!

"Mysterious Venerable, a great battle is imminent. We earnestly request that you take charge of the overall situation, lead us, attack all directions, and wipe out all enemies," Yue Min said respectfully, clasping his hands and bowing deeply.

"can."

Jiang Mo agreed, a long-lost fighting spirit rising in his heart.

He wanted to see if the bodies of those beasts and reptiles could withstand his 'Boundless Jun,' a heavy sword inherited from the Venerable Mingyao. After being dormant for seventeen hundred years, it was time for it to be reborn in blood and show its sharpness.

.......

At 5 a.m. on the 27th, when the location of the Trinity Secret Realm was detected in countries around the world, hackers on the dark web released the approximate coordinates.

In just a few seconds, the news spread throughout the world via the internet. Extraordinary beings and sect leaders who received the news set off overnight. Mountains and temples roared with deafening sounds, and dazzling lights tore through the clouds and disappeared in an instant.

On the northern front, the Nine-Tailed Fox, Xie Huan, and Zhu Jian left the pit and crossed the Changbai Mountains to the east at top speed, heading overseas to avoid the powerful figures from the Flying Immortal Sect, Penglai Island, the Duchen Sect, and the Kunlun Ancient Sect.

Meanwhile, some secluded sects couldn't hold back any longer. Abbots, leaders of the Jade Pool Sect, and sect leaders of the Heavenly Intercepting Sect all went there one after another, eager to see how those demon kings would destroy the secret realm passage.

Apart from the Three Ones Sect's mortal enemies, the Creation Sect, the Void-Stepping Hall, the Blissful Palace, and the Ninefold Mountain, which are still holed up in the secret realm, most of the sects that have entered the mortal world have sent elders and elites to gather information.

The Flying Immortal Sect Leader gazed at the boundless night, sighed several times, and felt a strong sense of foreboding. In the end, he declined the invitations from the Du Chen Sect and the powerful figures from Penglai Island, and instead decided to launch a night raid on the demon kingdom's fiefdom of the Three Kings to plunder its resources.

"Boom!!!"

The sky was a clear blue, and before dawn, residents of a coastal city witnessed the most dazzling scene.

Strange phenomena abounded: extraordinary creatures soared through the sky, their immense demonic energy illuminating the night sky as bright as day, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Their enormous bodies fly at supersonic speeds, shattering clouds and pointing their swords at the sea.

"Boom!—"

On the Pacific Ocean, towering waves suddenly rose, and a raging storm was brewing.

A terrifying figure emerged from the deep sea, clearly the overlord of the nearby waters, its body entirely silver-white with pale blue scales, resembling a rare species of dragon.

It let out a long roar, its body crackling with terrifying electric currents that burst forth wildly, causing the seawater within a radius of several kilometers to boil violently, splashing up waves, and countless sea beasts to float to the ground, their corpses lying there.

Then, a giant whale soared into the sky, like a roc taking flight, overlooking the sea. Its size was comparable to a thousand-meter-high mountain, and its unimaginable pressure filled every corner of this world.

However, the first to arrive near the secret realm were a dozen or so blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners. Without exception, they were all level 5 peak Awakeners, wearing bio-technology mimicry masks to conceal their true faces. Following orders from their superiors, they brought the newly activated ancient cannons to the battlefield, set up a void, aimed at the dark purple tunnel sealed by inner and outer barriers, charged it, and prepared to fire.

"Roar!!!"

The unexpected happened at this moment. Suddenly, a gigantic maw, like an abyss, appeared from behind the dozen or so people and struck down with lightning speed, swallowing them whole. It was faster than lightning, and in an instant, blood mist exploded in the dark beast's cavity. Those awakened ones were treated as appetizers and had no ability to resist.

This is the Demon King!

This is the extraordinary creature that firmly holds the dominant position in the food chain!

Ordinary humans, whether they cultivate martial arts or awaken superpowers, cannot confront and fight them head-on without a hundred or two hundred years of accumulation.

The true culprit behind the surprise attack was none other than Zhujian, a creature with the body of a leopard, the face of a human, the ears of an ox, and one eye. Beside it were a nine-tailed fox demon and a three-eyed evil cat-like creature.

A moment later, a shadow descended from the sky. The extraordinary creature, named 'Zhu Nu', was fox-shaped with fish fins on its back and revealed a strange, human-like smile.

"Boom!"

The ocean trembled, and another extraordinary creature appeared. It had grayish-white skin, a humanoid body, nine rat heads, nine tails, and thick fur on its body. It was as ugly as a vengeful ghost and was codenamed 'Longzhi'.

Accompanying it were two demon kings: the strongest being, the Mountain-Bearing Ant, and the infamous Azure Lotus Demon Bat. All three were among the top beings in the Southern Frontier.

Nine demon kings have arrived!

Their purposes differed: some wanted to destroy the rift, some wanted to hunt Taotie and Pegasus, and others were waiting for the arrival of powerful figures from other sects so they could have a good fight.

At this moment, the rift in the Three Realms Secret Realm was about to take shape. The Nine-Tailed Fox revealed its ferocious aura, firmly occupying the closest position, ready to unleash its divine power and shatter the mysterious barrier in one fell swoop.

Just as it was gathering its strength, a cold voice came from afar.

"You beast, you've come all this way?"

A dozen sword lights pierced through the air and arrived. The top experts from Penglai Island, Duchen Sect, and Kunlun Ancient Sect, who had blood feuds with the Three Kings, arrived and looked at the Nine-Headed Demon King occupying the void with frosty expressions.

"Wow!!"

The sea of ​​clouds rolled and the rosy clouds appeared one after another like a silver ribbon hanging down from the Milky Way. Nearly one-third of the sects from more than twenty worldly secret realms in China came, including Fangzhang Academy, Yaochi Yinque, Jietian Gate, Guquan Ruins, Changsheng Lake, Lianhun Mountain, and so on.

Each of the sect leaders possessed an extraordinary bearing, dressed in magnificent and stunning white robes and celestial garments, radiating dazzling brilliance.

They were like immortals living deep in the heavenly palace, untouched by worldly affairs. At this moment, however, their expressions were somewhat serious and solemn. They had not expected that the demon king who came for the soon-to-be-revealed Trinity Secret Realm would actually have nine heads!

coming!

coming!

Humans and demons have all arrived, but the powerful figures from Taotie, Pegasus, and the Three Ones Sect are absent.

"Wow!!"

The cracks shrouded in the red and white barrier slowly took shape, emitting a deep purple light, and seemed ready to solidify at any moment.

"Everyone, take action!"

"Destroy it!!"

With a sharp cry, the Nine-Tailed Fox decisively took action, opening its bloody maw and spewing out pale foxfire to burn the barrier.

Seeing this, everyone's hearts were stirred. Not only several demon kings made a move, but also the sect leader of Jietian Sect, the Soul Refining Sect Master, the Ancient Spring Ruins Master, and others. Under the pretext of killing the demon kings, they all unleashed their strongest attacks.

"Boom!!!"

Countless deadly attacks came crashing down, including electric currents, sword marks, foxfire, thousands of glowing green arrows, and blood-red soul light, all bombarding the blazing white barrier and creating ripples.

"kill--!"

The powerful figures from Duchen, Penglai, and Kunlun, disregarding the chaos of the battlefield, launched an attack on the Nine-Tailed Fox, Zhujian, and Xiehuan, but were stopped by the bloodthirsty and warlike Fushan Ant and Zhu Nu. A great battle was about to break out, and the fighting was so fierce that the sky darkened.

Other secluded sects have no enmity with these extraordinary creatures and have no intention of eradicating them.

Instead, fearing the name of the Demon Lord and the alliance with Taotie and Tianma, they knew that if he stepped out of the secret realm, there would be rivers of blood. Therefore, they became ruthless and unleashed their magic weapons to bombard the barrier.

"Boom!!!"

The sea area in the center was almost turned into a vacuum zone by the onslaught of various deadly attacks.

Gradually, the blazing silver barrier became overwhelmed, and shocking cracks appeared. Before being shattered, it slightly contracted, then exploded, creating a boundless hurricane that repelled many attacks and revealed a new blood-red barrier.

"Ok?"

Some people were secretly alarmed, their eyes darting around, fearing that the Demon Lord might emerge from the crack at any moment.

The nine-tailed fox, noticing the anomaly, gritted his teeth and said darkly, "No, there's another layer!"

"Damn it, his methods are so solid. If he really gets out, how can we possibly survive?"

Not only it, but other demon kings also had similar ideas.

They unleashed their deadly attacks like madmen, and even had the assistance of powerful humans.

Even so, it was only by barely breaking through one layer of the barrier that the Demon Lord's cultivation and strength far surpassed that of any demon king or sect leader.

"Everyone, let's go again!"

The nine-tailed fox growled again, gathering its demonic energy, preparing to nip the threat in the bud.

Just then, a strange and cold voice rang out from the sky.

"Why come again? Aren't I right here?"

"what?"

"Wait, who is this?!"

The sudden sound sent chills down everyone's spines—the Demon Lord had emerged!

They frantically looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a tall figure gradually emerge in the empty void, followed by two, three, four, five, six...

Yao Wang, Yue Min, Yue Li, Ming Ku, Cheng Zhen, Wei Er, Chang Qing, and Zhuge Yu were all prominently listed.

Under the cover of the Cloud Frost Jade Robe, none of the nine demon kings or the many sect leaders noticed Jiang Mo's presence beforehand.

Until this moment, he arrived at the battlefield, his frosty hair flying, his expression gentle, holding a heavy sword that was entirely black, quietly looking down at the entire scene, his oppressive aura like that of a towering mountain filling everyone's minds.

In an instant, the assembled heroes fell silent, utterly terrified!

The Demon Lord has always been here!!!
