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

"In that case, I am grateful for your hospitality."

Unable to refuse Jiang Mo's request, the three kings had no choice but to accept this generous gift. In response, they bowed respectfully and thanked him for his kindness.

"There is one more thing I would like to trouble you to do on my behalf."

“Please speak, Venerable Master. Whether it is facing a mountain of knives or crossing a sea of ​​fire, my brother and I will never flinch.”

Yue Li patted his chest and assured him.

"Just tell me, and I will take care of it properly for you, Venerable Xuanzun."

Yao Wang is also actively expressing his stance.

Its current strength surpasses that of Yue Min and Yue Li by a significant margin, entirely because the three Mu Jue clones that Jiang Mo later killed were all fed to it, greatly promoting its evolution.

"Just a little thing."

Jiang Mo smiled faintly, and without keeping them in suspense, said directly:

"My greatsword was blown to pieces and is now scattered all over the ocean; there are many fragments."

"I don't know exactly whether it's a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan. Even if it's scrapped, I can't bear to see it lying around."

"The commotion caused by the explosion in the secret realm will most likely attract the attention of various countries, who will then dispatch powerful individuals there."

"Even some demon kings in the surrounding seas might notice, but I am still recuperating from my injuries and cannot move around, so I would like to trouble you seniors to collect all the fragments for me."

"Oh! So that's how it is! Please rest assured, Venerable Master, we will do our best to collect it for you." Yao Wang suddenly realized.

"Time is of the essence, so let's set off now and get back before evening."

Yue Min made up her mind that no matter what, she would repay this kindness.

"Ah."

"Go ahead. If you encounter any danger, you can ask me for help immediately."

Jiang Mo raised his right index finger and branded a bright white mark of true qi on the wrist of the three kings, making it easier for him to teleport remotely.

"Then we'll take our leave. See you later!"

The three kings, having made their preparations, hastily set off and vanished into the horizon in an instant.

Immediately, a bundle of cultivation manuals appeared in Jiang Mo's palm. He ordered everyone to step forward, and even the two guardians standing in front of the railing were called over by him.

"This is the secret technique I seized from the Void Stepping Hall—'Boundless Realms,' which consists of seven volumes."

"When you reach a high level of cultivation, you will have many wonderful uses. You can ignore more than 99% of the barriers and magic arrays in the world today and come and go freely. It is extremely practical."

"Whether it's assassination or self-preservation, it's something that can only be described as unique in the world."

"Here are the first three volumes. If you are interested, then start cultivating. How far you go depends entirely on your own fortune. If you can continue cultivating, then keep cultivating. If you can't, then stop in time. Don't force it, understand?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and stood there in shock. The most surprised were Will and Mingku, who never thought they would have the opportunity to come into contact with such a precious secret technique.

"Yes, disciple understands," Chengzhen and the others replied in unison.

"We will obey your orders." The two protectors also knelt silently in worship.

"Alright, each of you make a copy of the scripture, then you may leave."

Jiang Mo gave the order in a calm voice, and then called Zhuge Yu to his side and handed him an extra thick stack of cultivation manuals.

"Uncle-Master, what is this...?"

Zhuge Yu was slightly puzzled, but after flipping through a few pages, he was quickly captivated, his eyes glued to the pages, unable to tear himself away, and his voice was filled with immense surprise.

"Here you are the secret treasures of the Creation Sect. They record the principles and methods of setting up ancient formations within their sect. Study them carefully, and I hope they will help you reach a higher level."

Jiang Mo patted Zhuge Yu on the shoulder, placing high hopes on him and encouraging his cultivation.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master! Thank you, Uncle-Master!!"

Zhuge Yu thanked him repeatedly, his nose tingling with emotion. He was especially moved when he thought of the cruelty of the two battles. He knew he couldn't possibly let his teacher down.

"Alright, everyone, you can all go now..."

After dispersing the crowd, Jiang Mo finally had a moment of peace. He brewed a pot of tea and, while drinking it, took out the Crimson Blood Demon Armor to check if it could be repaired.

"Buzz!"

The pendant tied to his chest trembled slightly, and a faint crimson light flashed by. The armor, nearly three-quarters broken, appeared in front of Jiang Mo's coffee table, covered with cracks and dried bloodstains.

This defensive magic weapon, in terms of hardness alone, far surpasses the Boundless Jade Armor and the Cloud Frost Jade Robe. It reduced the damage of the World-Destroying Light by at least 20%. Without it, Jiang Mo would probably be reduced to wreckage by now.

"......"

The armor was dull and seemed to be on the verge of falling apart, but as the wielder of the weapon, Jiang Mo could feel its life force.

To verify his suspicions, Jiang Mo directly dragged the corpse of the six-headed dragon, which was being held captive in the sect's treasury, over from a distance and began to release its essence blood, dripping it onto the somber demon armor.

A moment later, just as he had guessed, the armor emitted streaks of bloody light, and the tiny cracks, like wriggling worms, gradually disappeared.

“Tick…”

“Tick…”

Jiang Mo watched the subtle changes and continued to bleed the six-headed dragon's corpse until it quickly withered.

The demon armor, having absorbed nearly half of the essence and blood, regenerated a small, broken section. Moreover, its quality and strength were completely identical to the other parts, without any intention of weakening the defensive capabilities of other parts in exchange for the repair of this section.

"If it works, that's good."

Jiang Mo only took a small bite, and knowing that it wasn't completely damaged, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be best if this rare item could be repaired, as it could play a crucial role in turning the tide at critical moments.

Forced by the fact that the essence blood of extraordinary creatures stored in the sect was far from enough to repair the demon armor, Jiang Mo temporarily gave up.

He plans to wait until his injuries stabilize before using his own blood and essence to nourish the plant, which might be even more effective.

.......

June 9.

On this day, a massive explosion occurred in the North Pacific Ocean, causing global panic.

Satellites from various countries detected a sudden burst of fire that instantly erupted over a vast ocean, covering an area of ​​over 300 kilometers and scorching billions of tons of seawater. Even small, deserted islands were reduced to dust by the blast.

An explosion of this magnitude killed three extraordinary beings living nearby, and its power far exceeded that of all the nuclear weapons in the world combined.

At the origin of the explosion, a bottomless crater remained, empty except for a gradually forming underwater whirlpool.

At 10:20 a.m., elites from various countries arrived at the scene and began looting the corpses of the alien beasts. Meanwhile, their superiors held an online meeting to discuss how to distribute the remains of the extraordinary creatures.

It's important to understand that, to date, no country has been able to hunt extraordinary creatures on its own. This unexpected event is a windfall for them.

In less than ten minutes, the online meeting, which included participants from dozens of countries, descended into complete chaos.

Everyone wanted to get more behemoth corpses to take back to the research institute, analyze them, and extract their essence to cultivate stronger gene warriors.

The crowd argued heatedly, their faces flushed and spittle flying, until half an hour later, when another unexpected change occurred.

Three demon kings descended upon that sea, and these were the demon kings allied with the San Yi Sect. They forcefully devoured the corpses of the dead extraordinary creatures, and then drove out the top experts from various countries.

The crowd dared not speak out in anger. Not to mention the Demon Lord behind them, their cultivation level alone was beyond what humans could currently contend with.

"Boom!!"

The three kings traversed the sea surface, first relying on their abnormal sense of smell to find fragment after fragment from the faint, almost imperceptible scent residue.

Secondly, they used their demonic energy to infiltrate the seabed, drilling into the crevices of various natural trenches and reefs, scanning for the location of the fragments like radar, and the process went very smoothly.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and just as the countries were helpless, lingering in the surrounding waters and refusing to leave.

Another bombshell has been dropped on the dark web, with the person who wrote the post suspected to be a disciple of a certain sect or cult.

According to him, around 4:30 this morning, almost all the major sects stationed in the mortal world received a large number of repetitive special letters.

It mentions that the powerful figures of the Void Stepping Palace paid a heavy price to severely injure the Demon Lord, bringing him to the brink of death. As a result, the entire secret realm was destroyed, and its location perfectly matches the explosion site in the Pacific Ocean.

Then, it was pointed out that the Demon Lord had an ancient beast called "Pegasus" under his command, which was capable of tearing apart the barrier of the secret realm. Therefore, he called on all heroes in the world to join forces to eliminate it at this critical moment, otherwise, there would be endless troubles.

The number of letters is unknown, but the elders, deacons, and disciples scattered throughout the Kyushu dojos all received them at the same time. However, the name on the letter was so obscure that almost no one recognized it—Mu Jue.

In the capital city, inside the Flying Immortal Dojo, the white-robed sect leader held a letter condensed from purple qi, silently reading it. He felt something, and looking into the distance, his eyes held a complex expression.

To his utter surprise, Jiang Mo destroyed the Void Stepping Secret Realm overnight. Such extraordinary abilities far exceeded his expectations.

As for the unfamiliar name, it made him even more wary, so he immediately dispatched several elders to search for ancient books.

A quarter of an hour later, the result was revealed: the person who wrote the letter was none other than the ancient ancestor of the Taxu Palace who had abdicated 1,300 years ago and lived in seclusion behind the scenes. His background was terrifyingly powerful, and he even had some connection with the destruction of the Sanyi Sect back then.

Upon learning this news, the Flying Immortal Sect Leader immediately thought that this person had lived for over a thousand years and was very likely a Lord of the Imperial Realm. If even he couldn't stop Jiang Mo, then could there really be anyone in the world who could suppress him?

Just as he was lost in thought, the miniature computer worn on his left finger beeped softly. It was the people in charge of the Ninth Department asking him a question.

"Senior, I apologize for disturbing you."

"We want to ask what exactly the Lord of the Realm is? How much stronger is he compared to the Demon King? And how exactly does one become the Lord of the Realm?"

Clearly, these ordinary humans also have their own intelligence channels, but they know very little and still need to seek clarification from the Flying Immortal Sect Master.

Upon seeing the problem, the Flying Immortal Sect Leader pondered for a moment, guessed what these people were up to, and, too lazy to stop them, spoke frankly:

"The Lord of the Realm is the ruler of the secret realm. He can control all the matter and laws within it and freely use the spiritual energy within. He is undoubtedly an absolute powerhouse and the strongest existence among all the major sects."

"Demon Kings are no match for them. The gap between them is immeasurable. Only those who are masters of the realm are qualified to challenge masters of the realm. To put it simply, no matter how fast the demon kings in various places evolve, as long as they haven't seized a secret realm of their own, they will have no chance of winning against masters of the realm."

"To become the master of the realm, one needs to refine the entire secret realm in order to control it at will."

“…”

There was a long silence in the conference room on the Ninth Department's side before a voice said, "Okay, we understand, thank you."

"Ah."

As the Flying Immortal Sect Leader withdrew from the meeting, an elder beside him, sensing something amiss, looked worried and asked uneasily:

"Are they people from the Ninth Division?"

"Correct."

"Sect Leader, then we..."

The elder's brows furrowed, and he sighed helplessly, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to.

"Are you worried that the higher-ups of the Nine Departments will seek help from the Mystic Lord to eliminate all the demon kings within their territory? And then our incense offerings will be greatly reduced?"

The Flying Immortal Sect Leader smiled and voiced the old man's concerns, his calm eyes easily discerning his thoughts.

"Yes, aren't you worried?"

"There's nothing to worry about. If we're not as skilled as others, we have to accept it."

The Flying Immortal Sect Leader didn't care about the authentic path:

"Besides, haven't we done enough? We've defended against and slain the invading demon king, and we've also taught the Spirit Enlightenment Scripture. Those who have received our blessings will always believe in us if they do, so why worry unnecessarily?"

"Too....."

The elder sighed and shook his head. Faced with this overwhelming force, the Flying Immortal Sect couldn't stop it even if they wanted to.

in the afternoon.

Another bombshell has been dropped in China: the entrance to the Creation Realm has been sealed off by a crimson barrier, and inscribed characters in the form of Qi are hanging in the air, indicating that the realm belongs to the Sanyi Sect and no sect may trespass.

In an instant, the entire land was in an uproar, and all the major sects trembled in fear.

Since the Demon Lord escaped, less than a week has passed, and two lineages that have been passed down for thousands of years have been destroyed. How far away can the forces that have grudges against him be?

However, sects like the Duchen Sect, Penglai Island, and the Kunlun Ancient Sect, which promptly yielded, were among the more submissive ones.

Hearing that the Void Stepping Secret Realm had been destroyed, he was filled with lingering fear and extremely grateful that he had made the decision quickly enough to avoid disaster by spending money.

Chapter 444 The Nine Departments' Weighing of Pros and Cons, and Wuliangjun's Idea of ​​Reforging

Evening in Kyoto.

The highest-level meeting room of the nine ministries was packed, with heads of each ministry and Sun Feiyu, the president of the Security Council, all present.

A special magnetic field is set up indoors to prevent the infiltration of any foreign energy.

The gate was heavily guarded, and the entire floor had been cleared out, with 3 swordsmen and 7 level 5 awakened individuals patrolling back and forth.

At this moment, a series of thorny issues were being discussed in a somber atmosphere in the meeting room:
