Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Oh?! Really? That's great!"

"Hiss, it can withstand two or three rounds? Once it goes in, won't it be able to walk around like it owns the place?"

Upon hearing this, the three kings were overjoyed, as it was like having an extra life-saving charm.

"However, my Qi Refining to Gang has its limits; otherwise, I could have made preparations in advance."

"It's alright, everyone come over here and form a triangle while I cast my spell."

As soon as Jiang Mo gave his instructions, the group quickly stood at attention, relaxed their breathing, and waited for his blessing.

"Wow!"

"Gurgle!!!"

Jiang Mo felt a strange movement in his internal organs. As two supernatural powers were quietly unleashed, his left and right hands changed simultaneously. A black, viscous, mud-like substance wriggled, and pale green buds grew vigorously.

Xuansha Netherland.

The budding of life.

Like 'Ancient True Fire' and 'Bladeless Blazing Light', it is a supernatural power that one gains after cultivating the Five Qi Extreme Body and undergoing a transformation of the five internal organs. Both are defensive in nature.

In the blink of an eye, the black soil, as if alive, parasitized the three-headed demon king's body.

Half of it seeped into the skin and flesh, while the other half remained on the surface of the body. Then, countless fine buds, like snakes, crawled over and pierced through the underworld. The two interlocked, forming a simple defensive inner armor.

"!!!"

The three kings were quite surprised to notice the strange sensations emanating from their bodies. The intertwining and bonding of the two strange substances did indeed bring them an indescribable sense of security.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the two supernatural powers dissipated, and Jiang Mo began the next stage, pushing his true technique to its limit. The area where he stood resounded with a rumbling sound, the void collapsed, and it was as if a strange vortex had been born out of thin air, drawing in endless spiritual energy from the surrounding area.

"drink!"

While enduring the massive influx of spiritual energy and transforming it, Jiang Mo also mobilized his true energy, transforming it into Qi Gang, condensing it to its limit, compressing it into armor, and attaching it to the surface of the three kings' bodies.

"Boom!!!"

A terrifying storm of spiritual energy howled above, while the land beneath Jiang Mo's feet withered and cracked at a visible speed, as if it had suffered a drought.

As the area of ​​expansion grew wider, the armor on the demon kings became thicker and thicker, and the power it contained radiated a unique divine might, almost like a cage.

Inside was the Netherworld Wood Armor, and outside was the Qi Refined Armor. The moment they put it on, Yao Wang, Yue Min, and Yue Li realized that even if they tried their best, they could not break through these two layers of defense from the inside. The hardness of these two layers was on a completely different level from that of their physical bodies, at least several times stronger.

The process of forging the Qi Armor lasted a full hour. When it was finished, the cost was obvious: the surrounding area of ​​tens of kilometers was turned into scorched earth, and the spiritual Qi was severely depleted.

"Okay?"

"Hey, that's really impressive, all wrapped up tightly, it's no less impressive than the turtle shell of Xuanwu."

Yao Wang praised it repeatedly, showing great affection for this special armor that could only be used once.

"call....."

Jiang Mo let out a soft sigh of relief. His internal energy was full, and he did not feel tired. On the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit.

"It's basically finished."

"Let's go, next stop, Step Void Palace."

Before the words were even finished, a powerful sonic boom erupted from the ground.

"Boom!!!"

Four figures shot straight into the sky, unrestrained, traveling at tens of thousands of meters per second. With little effort, they pierced through the vortex passage of the secret realm like arrows, returning to the mortal world.

To prevent other forces from approaching and exploring the secret realm of creation without authorization.

Jiang Mo hastily set up a simple crimson barrier, marking it as belonging to the Sanyi Sect, before disappearing into the vast night sky and heading towards the Taxu Palace along the northeast side.

.......

Less than an hour after Jiang Mo set off for the expedition, a strange phenomenon occurred at the Sanyi Sect. A blazing silver light appeared in the hall, startling all the disciples, who rushed forward to check the results.

"That's?!" Changqing exclaimed in surprise.

"My martial uncle's pendant!"

"Oh my god, what's going on?"

While the other disciples were still confused, Zhuge Yu impatiently opened it, muttering to himself:

"It's probably resolved. It really was him..."

Halfway through his sentence, Zhuge Yu was stunned by the object before him and suddenly became overjoyed, shouting loudly.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Senior brothers, sect leader, come and see!!!"

"We won!! We won!! Martial Uncle won!!"

"what?"

As Chengzhen approached, even with his vast knowledge, he was utterly shocked. The treasures were piled up like mountains, and the magical artifacts were countless. If they were all released, they would surely flood the entire hall.

"this...."

"They've emptied out their entire fortune, Master Uncle!"

Changqing stared in disbelief. This sect, with its two or three thousand years of history, possessed an incredibly rich and profound heritage.

He had never seen such extravagant cultivation resources. Compared to them, even the top-tier Sanyi Sect in the mortal realm was as destitute as a beggar.

Will, Mingku, and several younger members of the group curiously gathered around. What they saw shocked them. How could a hidden sect have been destroyed in such a short time?!

However, some people are happy, while others are sad.

Chengzhen frowned slightly, not breaking the sudden joy, but he understood the meaning behind it and pondered silently in his heart:

"The pendant is back, but my uncle is not. This means he may be on his way to the next secret realm. This means that even he himself is not sure if he can win the upcoming battle."

"Sigh... Now comes the most important moment. Please come back safely, Uncle-Master."

......

In the distant Void Stepping Secret Realm, dusk was falling, the setting sun was like blood, and a dozen magnificent Taoist palaces, each a thousand feet high, stood against the mountains and beside the water, which was very impressive.

At this moment, in a secret room within the Taxu Hall, the sect leader, the eight remaining elders, four supreme elders, and five other middle-aged men dressed in black robes with white hair reaching their shoulders, a total of 18 people, were gathered.

This is the sect structure of Taxu Hall, which has been maintained for more than a thousand years and is divided into two branches: the Ming branch and the An branch.

The orthodox sect is led by successive leaders of the Void-Treading Sect, while the forces behind the scenes are composed of elites who cultivate the Reverse Life True Method. They are not under the jurisdiction of the sect leaders or the Supreme Elders, but directly obey the elders who are sleeping in the ancient tomb.

"The Heavenly Mirror recently sent word that the weather outside has changed."

The first to break the silence was an elder in charge of intelligence gathering for the sect.

His tone was very serious as he relayed the devastating news he had received to the senior executives present.

"The Demon Lord of Trinity is far more powerful than we imagined. What we encountered last time was merely a dharma body he left behind."

"His true form is in the abandoned Three Realms Secret Realm, and he has come out alive again to complete the theft. Of the nine demon kings and nine sect leaders who went to intercept him, more than half died in battle, and the whereabouts of the rest are unknown. The Demon Lord is now very likely to have become the Lord of the Realm, and has also formed an alliance with several demon kings. He may attack us at any time."

"My suggestion is to awaken Master Mu Jue as soon as possible, or activate the sect's most powerful artifact, just in case."

Upon hearing the intelligence, the expressions of the five white-haired men in the seats underwent subtle changes.

When they realized that their mortal enemy had appeared, the hatred that had been dormant within them for nearly two hundred years erupted like a revived volcano. Their fists clenched slightly, and their eyes contained a cold glint.

After 1,700 years of change, very few people in the Void Palace know the truth.

Only the sect leader of Taxu and the Supreme Elders present were pawns handpicked by Mu Jue, and thus had the right to know and have always used them as a check to prevent the elite of the Sanyi lineage from rebelling.

At this moment, the reactions of most of the elders, as well as the expressions of the five white-haired men, fell into the eyes of the Void-Stepping Sect Leader. Seeing that there were no disloyal individuals, he solemnly said:

"The Demon Lord is indeed terrifying. I fought him before, and my Dharma body was destroyed by his Dharma body."

"In terms of strength alone, we probably can't stop him. It's only a matter of time before he finds the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle..."

"?"

A senior elder, his brow furrowed, reprimanded the elder who had delivered the information with displeasure:

"What are those bastards outside trying to fool us with? Are they just keeping us in the sect for nothing? All they've got is this useless intelligence?"

"What I want to know is, if the Demon Lord steals the Three Realms Secret Realm and becomes the Lord of the Realm, he must open, and can only open, one passage back to the mortal world. So, how could the Demon Kings and Sect Leaders, who obtained the coordinates in advance, not even be able to handle this? How could the passage not be destroyed?"

"In my opinion, he came out a long time ago. Otherwise, knowing that his Dharma body is powerful and the passage is open, no one would have dared to provoke the monster's true form. The best option would have been to destroy the passage."

"The destruction failed, but the people were brought out, and they even ambushed those fools. The Demon Lord is at least more sophisticated than you think. He may not even need the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle; he has other means to break through the boundary."

"The thing those bastards should be doing most is finding out the source of the Demon Lord's methods and all suspicious signs."

The old man's incessant chatter silenced everyone. Their hearts pounded as if struck by a heavy hammer, and they were all on pins and needles. The situation was more serious than they had anticipated, and they couldn't be sure when the Demon Lord would storm in.

"Uncle-Master, please calm down, please calm down."

The elder was thoroughly scolded and dared not argue, quickly admitting his mistake.

Just then, the leader of the Trinity lineage had a flash of inspiration and keenly sensed something amiss, pressing for an answer:

"How can you be so sure that the method of appearing ahead of schedule belongs to the Demon Lord?"

"An ironclad rule that has remained unchanged throughout history—could he alone be more powerful than the founders of various sects?"

"Rather than saying he was able to get out of that closed cage, I believe he was rescued by external forces, and the problem lies with his disciples or allies."

"Elder Sun, do you have any information about them? Please help us investigate."

Chapter 436 Shocking! The Demon Lord has arrived!

Han Siyan.

The highest-ranking person in the Dark Pulse holds a position no less than that of the Sect Leader of the Void Stepping Sect. His cultivation level is even more terrifying, not inferior to any of the Supreme Elders.

The rebellious Qi contained within his body was clearly at the level of the fifth stage of the Profound Fate Realm. The four elite warriors from the Three Ones sitting beside him were all significantly weaker than him. Some were stuck at the fourth stage of the Profound Fate Realm, just one step away from it; some had been at the fourth stage for a long time; and some had just entered the fourth stage.

His mere presence constitutes the most powerful fighting force of the Dark Vein, enough to rival the orthodox sects within the sect.

The elder who heard his instructions dared not be negligent and lowered his head humbly, saying:

"Yes, Elder Han. According to the investigation by the disciples at the front, the two most famous disciples under the Demon Lord are Wu Chengzhen and Lu Jin, but their abilities are limited and they are far inferior to the Demon King. The Demon Kings who have formed an alliance with him are all rare species, namely a Taotie and two Pegasus."

"?!"

The elders' expressions changed. Having lived for hundreds of years, they had profound experience far beyond that of ordinary people. They immediately thought of the secrets recorded in ancient historical books.

"Pegasus?"

"Are you sure?"

"It resembles a dog, with a black head and white body, and has wings."

Some people couldn't wait to ask, even pointing out the key physical signs. Before the conjecture was confirmed, their expressions were already somewhat serious.

"Yes... just as you said," Elder Sun gave a clear answer.

"If it's them, then there's no doubt about it, and everything makes sense."

Han Siyan vaguely saw the whole picture and said to everyone:

"These are unique ancient beasts. Before the Spirit Forging Sect created the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, they were the only creatures in the world capable of carving open secret realms."

"A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. It is only because these beasts were not strong, but their supernatural powers were extremely threatening, that they were wiped out by humans."

“Even their original clan territory has fallen into human hands. I never imagined that after so long, there would still be remnants of this species surviving in the mortal realm, and that they would be colluding with the Demon Lord. Without their help, the Demon Lord would not have been able to leave the secret realm ahead of time.”

Upon hearing this, one of the elders looked horrified and exclaimed in surprise, "Doesn't that mean they can launch a surprise attack at any time?"

"We are already in a very passive situation. Even if we send people out on our own, we won't be able to kill those two demon kings."

"Furthermore, the Demon Lord may have been collecting the Boundary-Breaking Shuttles all along. Killing them or not is not very meaningful. Rather than waiting any longer, it would be better to awaken Ancestor Mu Jue as soon as possible and take charge of the overall situation."

“I agree, this matter is beyond our control.” An elder quickly echoed.

"I agree."

“Awakening our grandmaster would be safer, after all, only a master of the realm can contend with another master of the realm.”

The other elders followed suit, their unity as strong as grasshoppers on a rope.

However, the highest decision-making authority rests only with the sect leader of Taxu, the four Supreme Elders, and Han Siyan.

The six people sized each other up, trying to decipher each other's thoughts through their eyes.
