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

"Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps worried that we might fail?"

"Since you can do it, why bother trying to win me over?" the old man in black questioned.

"More strength means more security."

The old man from the Palace of Reincarnation calmly answered:

"The Chengtian Dao Sect and the Yellow Springs Underworld, who have grudges against the Flying Immortal Sect, are both willing to help. Add to that our two families and several ancient demon kings, what do you think the chances are?"

"They've already made their move?!"

The old man in black was immediately horrified.

Since ancient times, this vast land has been home to only six major sects, which have remained evergreen and stood at the pinnacle of every era. Now, five of these sects are joining forces to annihilate the Flying Immortal Sect?!

If it were the Wanfa Sect in this situation, could they withstand it?

The answer is self-evident.

The old man in black was filled with complicated emotions. If this kind of thing happens once, it will happen again. Once the Flying Immortal Sect is destroyed, can he, as a participant, and the other four major sects really share the spoils equally without being wiped out?

I fear we will repeat the same mistakes: once the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; once the rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked.

Chapter 467 Assessing the Situation, Deep Sea Dragon Abyss's Compromise

The Master of All Laws was caught in a dilemma, and he dared not refuse their request without permission.

In his view, among the four major sects joining forces, the Divine Descent Sect is the special one, possibly having multiple Masters. As such, there are at least five powerful individuals participating in the battle, as well as several ancient demon kings of unknown strength.

This lineup is unparalleled in the world. If he declines the invitation, these forces have already formed a community of interests. After wiping out the Flying Immortal Sect and the Three Ones Sect, dealing with his Myriad Laws Sect will be a piece of cake.

Or perhaps, we should take them down first...

However, even if the Lord of Ten Thousand Laws accepts their invitation to form an alliance, he will still have a headache. It is a well-known fact that the Xuanzun is the number one fighter in the human world. Who would dare to ambush him at this time? Who could withstand a frontal attack?

If he is unlucky and is betrayed by these so-called 'allies', becoming a casualty on the battlefield, his sect will also suffer. Therefore, he is wavering and needs to make sure that he takes every step carefully, because the rise and fall of the entire lineage depends on his single thought.

"how?"

"Fellow Daoist, you seem to be preoccupied. Why don't you have a heart-to-heart talk with us?"

The old man watching the game in the Palace of Reincarnation guessed his opponent's intentions and knew his concerns. He smiled kindly, leaning on his cane, and muttered:

"Since there is no more Liu Er here, Brother Qi and I will follow the host's lead and hope you will speak freely."

After his persuasion, the Master of All Laws frowned, somewhat displeased, and asked sharply:

"Of course we have concerns. Our alliance is loose. Who will die in vain, and who will steal the spoils of war?"

"I don't believe that Xuanzun and the others will be content to stay in their corner of the world and forget about their homeland. At the same time, I don't believe that you are trustworthy. The battlefield is ever-changing and life and death are unpredictable. If I get into trouble, I'm afraid you will all be killed along with me and Xuanzun."

Upon hearing this, before the old man watching the chess game could respond, the Divine Lord who was playing against him spoke first:

"Saving yourself to death is an exaggeration. At least we don't consider you our main force; we just want to keep you in check."

"Furthermore, whether you believe us or not, the power to start a war is not in your hands. All you can do is go with the flow and stand on the side that will win."

"You don't want to implicate the sect because of your wrong decision, do you?"

"..."

At this moment, the Master of All Laws fell silent.

The other person's words did not dispel his doubts, but only reminded him of an even worse event.

Can the Flying Immortal Sect, which once showed signs of becoming the number one sect in the human world, and its strongest person today, really be shaken by them?

The Master of All Laws knew about the destruction of the Void Stepping Secret Realm, meaning that the Master there fought to the very end and died in the secret realm, releasing the light of destruction. Even so, he still failed to kill the Profound Venerable.

Thinking of this, he felt even less certain, but he knew that this might be their last chance. With the defeat of the previous sects, all the secret realms had become the spoils of Xuanzun and Feixian Laogui.

Recently, the Master of All Laws has traveled to various places, but he has not been able to find the secret realms and ruins of those sects.

This could mean two things: either the secret realm was emptied by the Longevity Ritual and became ruins, drifting in other spatial rifts, or the secret realm has entered a new refining stage and is about to give birth to a new master.

In another three to five years, or even ten years, the Three Ones Sect and the Flying Immortal Sect will probably have a total of ten Masters. At that time, won't the cultivation resources in the mortal world be under their control?

They can launch wars at will, plunder secret realms, and wherever their army goes, who can stop them?

"Then why did you wait until now to make your move? You could have had a better opportunity two years ago."

The Master of All Laws' eyes were sharp as knives, and his voice was both questioning and forceful.

"On the one hand, it's poised to launch..."

The old man watching the chess game smiled leisurely, "The old guys from each faction can't just wake up whenever they want. They need a certain amount of time to recover to their peak condition and prepare their countermeasures so that they can kill those two in one fell swoop."

"On the other hand, we have no time to delay any longer if we take action now. Fellow Daoist, please consider this carefully. We have said all we have to say."

"I won't ask too much about the Yellow Springs Underworld from the Chengtian Dao Sect, but I remember that your sect still has immortal old ghosts, right? Will they also be going to this battle?"

Faced with the questioning of the Master of All Laws, the man from the Divine Descent Sect calmly replied, "If we don't go, how can we be sure of victory?"

"Not only our sect's senior members, but also the most senior member of the Samsara Palace, had his cultivation progress interfered with by the Xuanzun during this trip. He severed one of his mortal bodies, wasting more than forty years of his life, and was unable to condense his seventh Samsara body. There has long been an irreconcilable feud between them."

"Oh?" The Master of All Laws was surprised, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he gradually came up with an idea.

"So, do you want to join us? Let's hunt those two behemoths together. If we win, for the next few hundred or a thousand years, this vast land of Kyushu will still be under our rule."

The divine master extended a final invitation, his smile sending chills down one's spine.

Some time ago, he fought with the old ghost of the Flying Immortal Sect and roughly figured out his opponent's abilities.

The allies they've recruited this time are all monsters among monsters, including Dao Lords who are close to the sect's founders, giving them an absolute numerical advantage.

He couldn't figure out how he could lose this hand.

The only variable is Xuanzun, but no matter how powerful he is, he will have little chance of protecting himself when facing a group of strong opponents of the same level.

"good....."

After much deliberation, Wanfa Yuzhu finally revealed his choice: to join the alliance of the four religions.

"After this is done, I will not touch the secret realms of the Flying Immortal Sect and the Three Ones Sect, but I will take at least three of the other secret realms of the destroyed sects."

Three? Granted.

The old man watching the game of reincarnation in the Samsara Palace agreed without hesitation, because there were enough secret realms to go around. Both the Chengtian Dao Sect and the Yellow Springs Underworld were asking for three secret realms each.

The Master of All Laws glanced at the chessboard, seemingly lost in thought about the fierce battle between the black and white pieces, and casually asked:

"What about the demon race? What are your thoughts, and what conditions have you promised?"

The man from the Divine Descent Sect chuckled a few times before speaking seriously:

"Where in the world can you find such a perfect solution? You've been allocated nine secret realms, and there aren't many left, but they're not something those alien races can even dream of."

"We can only lure them with benefits first. Besides, their physical bodies are strong, not much weaker than ours. If we let them refine in the secret realm, there will be endless troubles. It's just a matter of scheming against each other. In the end, we still need to decide the winner."

The Master of All Laws smiled silently, offering no comment.

The negotiations concluded, and the five major sects formed an alliance to discuss the timing of their operation and specific strategies.

......

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

That evening, Jiang Mo sat quietly in the Sunset Viewing Pavilion atop the mountain, breathing in sync with all things, as if he were completely in harmony with heaven and earth, becoming one with them.

Dressed in black with his frosty hair billowing in the wind, his eyes shone with a sharp, intelligent light, as if all weariness had been swept away, and he had reached the best state of his life.

Gazing at the shattered, undulating mountains and rivers, and the blood-red setting sun hanging in the sky, Jiang Mo felt refreshed and had reached a state of self-forgetfulness.

As the sun sank below the horizon and night fell, he silently rose after a long while, leaving behind a pure white avatar to guard the sect, and departed.

Apart from Si Chong and Cheng Zhen, Jiang Mo did not tell any of his disciples about the war with the Samsara Palace, the Divine Descent Sect, and several ancient demon kings, so as not to worry them.

Recently, conflicts in various places have decreased unusually, as if there is a calm before the storm, but no news has been released. The five major sects, along with the Flying Immortal Sect, Yaochi Yinque, and Sanyi Sect, are all secretly gathering their strength and mobilizing all available high-end combat forces to prepare for a sect war.

At night, Jiang Mo strode forward in front of the mountain gate. When he reached the dimly lit area, two figures were already waiting there, undoubtedly the two masters, Fei Xian and Yao Chi.

Have they been found?

When they met again, Jiang Mo casually asked about the whereabouts of the Nine-Headed Sun-Devouring Lion, the Skeleton White Tiger, and the Ancient Demon Ape.

Tonight he will personally visit the fiefdoms of the nine ancient demon kings, dominating the nine provinces and eight wastelands. Naturally, he does not want to miss these prey, intending to use their essence and blood to help his disciples reach a higher level, and to let the long-dormant Crimson Blood Demon Armor have a good meal.

"It's hidden away; it's not worth digging into."

The Flying Immortal Master's voice was hoarse, and his smile was faint. The implication was that Tianyan Hall could find them, but the cost was too high and not worth it in his opinion, so he gave up.

"Let's go."

"Set off for the Dragon Abyss Sacred Palace in the East Sea."

Jiang Mo raised his hand, and a void portal was instantly formed. Using the laws, he created a shortcut, presenting the East China Sea thousands of kilometers away before his eyes.

The so-called Dragon Abyss is where an ancient demon clan force emerged after the era of spiritual energy revival and the rise of demon kings.

It lies 7,000 meters below the East China Sea trench.

Although it is not a secret realm, its location is special, with a spiritual energy concentration that is comparable to that of a secret realm. It also has various rare seabed mineral veins converging, thus giving birth to many powerful beings.

Throughout the long course of history, one after another, domineering and ferocious beasts have emerged. Thirteen hundred years ago, a black dragon underwent many transformations and was baptized by heavenly lightning, finally entering the realm of kings.

In the centuries that followed, the Black Dragon defeated many demon kings of the same period, achieving supreme power and ruling over one-third of the East Sea. Thereafter, it built the Dragon Abyss Sacred Palace, slumbered in the deep sea, reproduced, and continued its race.

Including its cultivation before becoming a king, that old dragon's true lifespan was probably over 1,500 years, and it is still alive today, which is several times longer than the lifespan of a human Dao Lord.

His subordinates include many confidants at the level of demon kings, possessing profound resources and formidable strength.

Upon hearing Jiang Mo's instructions, the two followed him and entered the void gate one after another. In an instant, they arrived at the bottom of the East Sea abyss, six thousand meters below the surface. The surroundings were dark and hazy, and the terrifying water pressure assaulted them, but it did not affect them in the slightest.

In addition, there are countless enormous marine creatures, some hundreds or even thousands of meters long, roaming among them.

Their senses were incredibly sharp. After the three Masters arrived, they let out terrified cries and began to flee in panic. Some were even terrified and cowered in their nests, trembling with fear.

"Boom!!!"

The seawater churned and surged, chaotic and turbulent, but Jiang Mo ignored it all, his attention focused entirely on the pale blue light domain more than a thousand meters below. That was a rare area of ​​light in the abyss, and also the location of the Holy Palace, where magnificent and splendid palaces stood, protected by an array.

"Should we just take action?"

The old man with the decaying corpse asked Jiang Mo for his opinion, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes. He had heard that the founder of the Dragon Palace was an ancient dragon, whose strength was even greater than that of the three-headed ancient demon king that he had severely injured.

"Ah."

Jiang Mo indicated that it was okay, and the figures of the group arrived outside the Dragon Palace like ghosts. At the same time, the seawater around the entire Dragon Palace began to shake and tremble violently, as if a level twelve tsunami was about to erupt.

"Roar--!"

The demon kings dwelling in the Dragon Palace felt an indescribable sense of threat and suddenly let out a deafening roar, awakening from their slumber.

There are turtle-like creatures with bodies resembling mountains and entirely black, a new generation of dragons from the Dragon Palace who have inherited the bloodline of ancient dragons, and jellyfish so exaggerated that they blot out the sky and shroud the entire Dragon Palace in their shadow.

Not only them, but the other dragon palace demon generals also poured out in droves. In just a few breaths, the dense and congested beast tide surrounded them, and countless savage eyes swept down, staring intently at the three human masters.

Before they could even ask what their purpose was, an ancient voice resounded throughout the entire seabed, causing all the demons to tremble in fear.

"Make that old mudfish crawl out here."

This was a message from the Flying Immortal Master, containing some kind of powerful magic. The void shattered with the sound, stirring up surging seawater currents that instantly suppressed tens of thousands of ferocious beasts.

The two key ministers responsible for guarding the Dragon Palace, as well as the new Dragon King, were injured immediately. Their souls uncontrollably split open, and their eyes showed shock. They never imagined that this human, who was countless times smaller than them, possessed such terrifying power.

In an instant, tens of thousands of demons fell to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot, their expressions listless, almost powerless to struggle anymore.

This is the insurmountable chasm between a Master and an ordinary being. Even the demon king of the Three-Headed Dragon Palace is like a slightly larger kitten or puppy, suppressed by the old man to the point of having almost no strength to resist.

Do I need to personally invite you out?

The corpse lowered its gaze, not seeing the dragon's figure, and did not indulge it. Its withered right hand began to rapidly gather true qi, and billions of dazzling white lights, like the scene at the beginning of the universe, condensed in its palm, preparing to unleash a killing move to reduce the entire dragon palace to ashes.

Why is humanity like this?

The next instant, the world fell into an eerie silence, and an elderly yet upright figure appeared above the Dragon Palace Formation.

The old man was dressed in a black imperial robe, with a majestic face, dragon horns on his forehead, and eyes like a pool of burning red magma. Overwhelming demonic energy raged in the abyss. Two completely different auras were vying for supremacy, neither willing to give in.

However, three powerful human beings appeared. One of them, a man with white hair and black clothes, had a cold expression and was a Xuanzun who had shaken the world in the past two years. This made the old dragon lose his mind and become vigilant, as a crisis of death was approaching step by step.

Its first thought was that these humans wanted to hunt it!

Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to come together. If it were the rotting corpse or the woman in green, it would not be afraid at all and would dare to confront them head-on. Only the presence of Xuanzun made it have to be cautious.

"Don't you know why we've come? Joining forces with the Divine Descent Sect and the Samsara Palace, I think you're tired of living."
