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

"Lacking the resources to completely exterminate them, some of the elite demons lie dormant in the secret realms of their ancestral lands, while others wander among humans, hiding from human pursuit."

“No secret realm that has not yet been revealed should be underestimated. I have already deduced that all the secret realms belonging to the human race have been revived, without any omissions.”

"As for the secret realms of the demon race, there are none left, not even a trace. It's as if they've vanished into thin air. This is an extremely unusual sign. You need to be on high alert. The demon race has never been much weaker than the human race. Beings at the Dominator Realm are destined to exist, and there's more than one of them."

Suddenly, Jiang Mo remembered this: "Senior, what about the Evil Spirits and Blood Demons? Did they actually wipe them out in the great war back then?"

"Hmm...we've come this far, perfect, let me tell you about it too."

With a sigh, Xianhua began to state his thoughts plainly:

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the Nine Provinces were prosperous and rich in spiritual energy. On this land beneath our feet, there were five major races, divided according to their strength: the Primordial Human Race, the Demon Race, the Evil Spirit Race, the Blood Demon Race, and the Human Race. Each race had countless branches."

"Among them, the ancient human race was truly the darling of heaven and earth, surpassing other races in all aspects, including physical body, soul, talent, and supernatural powers."

"They once belonged to the same race as humans, but at that time, humans were creatures with weak bodies and souls and no talent for cultivation. Over time, they were regarded as a burden, as they would taint the bloodline and cause the misfortune of deformed offspring. Therefore, they were abandoned and exiled to remote and barbaric areas, where they were once raised as food by other races."

"After thousands of years of decline, human cultivators gradually emerged, and their strength was not weak. They gradually escaped the fate of being hunted by the demon race, evil spirits, and blood demons, and settled down in the southern border region."

"By the way, in those ancient times, the Nine Provinces were divided into five major regions. The ancient human race occupied the most fertile Central Plains, the demon race occupied the Eastern Wilderness, the Blood Demon race occupied the Northern Frontier, the Evil Spirit race occupied the Western Desert, and our human race took root and survived in the Southern Frontier."

"The five races were locked in a fierce struggle, like fire and water. The ancient human race had an absolute advantage. They were stronger than any other race. In order to survive, reproduce, expand their race, and cultivate more powerful offspring, they frequently launched wars to plunder territory and spiritual veins."

“Apart from the Central Plains, all four major territories have been attacked by them. Wherever their armies went, the four tribes and their countless branches suffered heavy damage and devastation.”

"This torment lasted for more than 6,000 years. The four races struggled and were nearly wiped out by the ancient human race on several occasions."

"Nineteen thousand years ago, they crossed endless darkness and welcomed the dawn. The ancient human race in the Central Plains saw the death of many of their strongest members, and their strength was reduced to less than half of its peak."

"The four races sounded the horn of counterattack, sparing no effort to attack the Central Plains, causing mountains and rivers to fall and the heavens and earth to collapse. The final battle was extremely tragic, with all the peak experts of the five races dying in battle, none surviving."

"The remnants of the ancient human race ascended to the heavens via the ancient star road, hiding among billions of stars, erasing all traces, and isolating themselves from the world."

"After the strongest group of beings from the four races perished, the war did not stop. The next tier of beings, second only to them, fought for the continuation of their races. The demon race was the strongest, and the human race was the weakest."

"The two races of evil spirits and blood demons, which were in the middle, were seen as a threat by the demon race. They were the first to fight each other, paid a heavy price, and were routed. With the addition of the human race's siege, the two races of evil spirits and blood demons were forced to flee underground and eke out a living."

"After that, the vast and fertile land of Kyushu was left with only two races: humans and demons."

"When the demon race wanted to exterminate the human race again, they were already willing but unable. They did not have the absolute strength to lead the war, while the human race was also on its last legs. Almost all of their strongmen had been wiped out. If the fighting continued, both races would perish and be counterattacked by evil spirits and blood demons."

"Therefore... the human and demon races reached a unique alliance in history, truce for a thousand years, and each occupied the eastern and western realms respectively, with the rich land belonging to the demon race and the poor land belonging to the human race."

"During this thousand years, both races have recuperated and cultivated their territories, gradually restoring their strength. Their people have also become accustomed to peace and are unwilling to wage war again."

"Another thousand years have passed, that is, seventeen thousand years ago. After two thousand years of accumulation, both the human race and the demon race have recovered to their respective heyday, and their ambitions have expanded to an unprecedented level. The human race wants to annex the demon race and enslave the demons, while the demon race wants to exterminate the human race and become the sole overlord of the land. War is imminent."

"For the next ten thousand years, the two races fought each other incessantly, and the blood feud continued from generation to generation. The final result, which lasted until the ancient period six thousand years ago, was a Pyrrhic victory for the human race. There was not much difference between that victory and the crushing defeat."

"The hundred ancient kingdoms of the human race were all destroyed, and a large number of sects and cults were wiped out. The same was true for the demon race, with one fiefdom and grotto-heaven after another being trampled to the ground."

"What both sides left the world with was an extremely small population, the old, weak, sick, disabled, and demons scattered throughout the world, and an endless wasteland."

"Later, new forces in the secret realms rose up, and generation after generation of masters and Dao Lords appeared. Occasionally, there were signs of demon kings and ancient demon kings causing trouble in the world, but the true elite of the demon race had long since hidden themselves away and had not shown themselves for many years."

"Even when the great war between the underground evil spirits and the blood demons that launched a counterattack against the Nine Provinces broke out more than three thousand years ago, they never came into existence. But they exist here, in the mountains, rivers and lakes of the Nine Provinces."

The old man recounted the secrets of history in a storytelling style, his words carrying a profound sense of history and opening the eyes of the audience, as if they had been enlightened.

His last words were addressed to Jiang Mo and Fei Xian Yu Zhu. The old man's gaze was particularly sharp, undoubtedly a warning to the two to act cautiously and be extra careful.

At the same time, Xianhua also reminded the three kings:

"You must never underestimate the blood feud between the two races; such hatred is impossible to resolve."

"They are cruel and bloodthirsty, and their killing instinct is the worst among the five races."

"You are close to us, so when those demons are born in the future, you will be the first to be affected."

"You may not be able to withstand the purge, so if you have nothing to do, stay in the secret realm and cultivate diligently. If you are really besieged, you can ask us for help."

Upon hearing this, the three kings felt a chill run down their spines and their hearts grew heavy. They repeatedly expressed their gratitude and respect for the old man before them, which deepened even further.

Chapter 516 The Star Civilization Embarks on its Return Journey

"Senior Uncle, that group of ancient humans you mentioned, have they never returned even once in all these years?"

The Flying Immortal Master frowned slightly. He had a bad feeling when he heard that this race was hiding in the starry sky. He always felt that these humans would return on some unpredictable day in the future.

Faced with the curious gazes of the crowd, Xuan Hua gently shook her head and said with a wry smile:

"This has always been one of my biggest concerns. Many of our ancestors have made predictions about our lineage, but they still can't see the development process and destiny of their clan."

"Across the boundless starry sky, even the will of heaven is shielded. They dwell on the other side of the starry sky, which is difficult to reach. At least in the history I know, they have never returned. It is also possible that their methods are too sophisticated and we have never noticed them."

"In the past, I spent a lot of time and effort traveling around the country, trying to find traces of them, but in the end, it all came to nothing, and I gradually let it go. After all, some things cannot be forced at an uncertain time."

"I did my best within my capabilities, and left the future to future generations. That's what I thought back then. Now that I've seen you all, I'm at ease."

Xuan Hua was the person present who knew Jiang Mo's combat strength best. With the trump card of the Extreme Dao Key, if they were lucky, even if the ancient human race of the starry sky returned, they would be killed without a doubt and wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.

"Hey! By the way, Venerable Xuan, don't you have a special piece of armor? Why don't you take it out and let the old man take a look, so that we can broaden our horizons and see if it is indeed the so-called Blood Demon Clan armor?"

Suddenly, Yao Wang remembered the Crimson Blood Demon Armor that Jiang Mo always carried with him.

These words drew a soft chuckle from the old man, who said:

"Your Excellency, I saw that magical artifact of life a few years ago."

"That's not a Blood Demon Clan member. To be more precise, it might be a mutated species of the Demon Clan member. However, due to my limited experience, I cannot reveal its true origin."

"Because in the ancient times, in the distant past, on the vast land, there were so many powerful and strange species that it was dazzling and impossible to see them all."

"However, if you want to see the Blood Demon's appearance, fine, I'll let you see it for yourself today."

After saying that, Xuan Hua gently turned a spatial storage ring between his left fingers. As a faint light swept by, a hexagonal crystal, with countless interwoven and overlapping lights and shadows inside, resembling a corner of a mysterious world, was held in his palm.

“This is…” Yue Min seemed to recognize the object, and his demonic eyes suddenly narrowed.

"The top-grade Crystal Shadow Stone can imprint everything that has happened, replay the past, and remain immortal for ten thousand years. It was left over from the great war more than three thousand years ago."

Xianhua smiled faintly, her five fingers caressing the surface of the crystal. The naturally formed patterns on it gradually lit up, swaying with a mysterious power.

"Look closely, it contains the scene of me teaching the fourth Master to fight against the evil spirits and blood demons."

With a "whoosh!", the blurry light and shadow within the crystal became clearer and clearer, as if it had come to life, constantly stretching and expanding from the inside out, like a blooming bouquet. In an instant, countless rays of light gently stirred and condensed into a corner of the real world.

What appeared before everyone was a pitch-black sky, a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles like the spine of a dragon, and on the empty horizon, a tall and slender figure stood with three immortal swords hanging on his back and wearing immortal robes. He was like a great sun on earth, constantly dispelling the cold and gloomy atmosphere around him.

Before the man was a hole suspended in the void, within which a dark sea of ​​clouds churned and rolled, and terrifying blood light swept through. All that could be heard was the thunderous sound of war drums that shook the heavens and the earth, and then a million evil spirits and a million blood demons rained down on the world like a torrential downpour.

The evil spirit was entirely grayish-blue, with a ferocious face, and possessed seven-colored armor that clearly indicated its strength and social status.

The Blood Demons, on the other hand, were creatures resembling fiery clouds, vivid as blood, that transformed into various forms, including humanoid, beast-like, and even mountains, sun, moon, clouds, and thunder. They swept over the battlefield in an overwhelming manner, creating a suffocating atmosphere, much like a massive tsunami, with an aura of despair permeating the entire battlefield.

"Look closely! They're here."

With a reminder from Xuan Hua, three tall figures appeared in the inverted hole, each over three meters tall. They were humanoid but lacked human features. Their bodies were like dark gray jade or blood-red steel. Just one glance was enough to tell that the power contained within them was terrifying.

Two ancient emperors of the Evil Spirit Clan and one ancient emperor of the Blood Demon Clan arrived together, along with two million demons under their command as their vanguard.

This is the perilous situation that Qingling Daojun, the fourth generation master of the Flying Immortal Sect and recognized within the sect as second only to the founder, must face.

In a war of this level, Qingling Daojun did not allow his disciples to participate or follow, as it would be meaningless. He could not protect so many people, so he simply sent them to other battlefields or waited in the secret realm to intercept them on his own.

With a deafening boom, the man remained calm in the face of the million-strong army's charge, his eyes deep and unfathomable. With a mere wave of his right hand, tens of thousands of magical seals appeared out of thin air, transforming into a winding, linear barrier that isolated the territory behind him.

"Boom!!!"

The next instant, a torrent of moonlight swept across the land, shaking the battlefield and keeping two million demons at bay.

"Boom!!!"

"Om!!"

Immediately following, one after another towering figures, each five thousand feet tall, appeared. These were all ancient gods created by Qingling using supreme secret techniques. There were seven gods in total, wielding various weapons that blotted out the sky, sweeping across the entire battlefield, fighting fiercely against the demon army.

"call out!!"

"call out!!!--"

Four beams of light, shining brightly in the sky, instantly set off from the left and right sides, swept across ten thousand meters, and collided violently at one point, thus beginning the battle between Qingling Daojun and the three ancient emperors.

The great battle lasted for twelve days and twelve nights, leaving the land scorched and barren, with abysses and canyons appearing everywhere. The earth was shattered, and lava surged forth. Seven ancient gods were obliterated and vanished into the world, while the more than two million demons were almost completely wiped out.

The once undulating and dense mountain ranges have been razed to the ground, and this land has been severely damaged. The rumbling in the void continues, and the three colors of light—ink, blood, and white—fill the entire sky.

After several days and nights of fierce fighting, the battle came to an end. Resentful roars echoed across the sky. One evil spirit ancient emperor was killed, another fled far away, and a blood demon ancient emperor was seriously injured. Carrying his wounded body, he entered the inverted heavenly cave.

Qingling Daojun won. He was covered in blood, his body was broken, his face was disfigured, and he only had one arm left. He stood shakily in the void, raised his hand and gathered a final strike. A sword light that opened the heavens pierced straight through the inverted heavenly cave, causing a huge explosion that cleared away the dark clouds for thousands of miles.

At this point, the outcome of the battle was decided, and the images displayed by the crystal began to gradually fade away.

The demon race masters who came to their senses were all shocked. The oppressive aura emanating from the three ancient emperors of the alien race was more exaggerated than any ancient demon king they had ever seen. They might even be able to rival the so-called demon race rulers.

"So this is what evil spirits and blood demons are..."

Yao Wang was still recalling the details of that battle, and a look of fear appeared in his demonic eyes.

"Yes, the human race, the demon race, the evil spirits, and the blood demons—these four races have roughly the same potential ceiling for cultivation. Only the ancient human race is an exception; they are a cut above the rest and may not be much weaker than the Dao Lords and Masters outside the Heavenly Abyss."

Xianhua sighed softly, then casually put away the crystal stone and began to recount a secret:

"According to the ancient records I teach, when the demon race breached the core capital of the ancient human race, a powerful demon secretly detained several of the ancient human race's loyal followers who fought to the death and hid them in a secret realm for research purposes, in order to steal their bloodline power."

"So many years have passed, and I still don't know if there's been any result or if it was successful."

"Even if I succeed, I will not be afraid. Whether it is the ancient human race or the demon race, including evil spirits and blood demons, if they are determined to make a comeback, I will fight them to the end."

Jiang Mo spoke naturally, without any emotional fluctuations in his heart.

He was absolutely confident in his strength. If the Martial God or Supreme Dao Lord from outside Tianyuan came in person, he would still have some reservations. But as for the defeated and fleeing tribes of his own territory, even if they sharpened their swords and remained silent for ten thousand years, he could still kill them.

"Good! Good! With your words, I can finally rest easy. The future belongs to you young people." Xianhua smiled with satisfaction.

"By the way, fellow Daoist, there's that matter underground, we should mention it."

Yao Wang recalled the report he had seen on the other side of the ocean and couldn't help but remind Fei Xian Yu Zhu.

"Oh? What's wrong?" Jiang Mo asked.

"An underground civilization has taken the initiative to contact the United States, providing intelligence and hoping that all our surface forces can unite to fight against another underground civilization."

The Flying Immortal Master recounted everything he had seen and heard:

"Their race is the ancient dragon race, which follows a technological path and possesses technology far surpassing that of current human civilization. What they want us to destroy is another human race."

"Hmm? Dragon people?" Jiang Mo seemed to be thinking.

"Yes, according to your existing theory of evolution, these dragon people are the descendants of dinosaurs. After the dinosaur era was destroyed by a meteorite, a group of dinosaurs hid underground. After a long period of metamorphosis, they gradually took on human form while retaining certain dinosaur characteristics. They were extremely intelligent and embarked on the path of technology many years before humans."

"And the race that rivals them is also our human race, the pure human race. It was thousands of years ago that we extensively exploited the planet's resources and destroyed the spiritual veins, thereby provoking the Masters and the Demon Kings, and destroying human civilization."

"Back then, they fled along two routes, one to the stars and the other to the depths of the earth. At the time, the major sects didn't bother with them and treated them much like insects."

At this point, the Flying Immortal Master paused slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

"But after a few thousand years, these insects will probably grow into man-eating beasts."

"According to reports from the Dragonkin's agents planted among the high-ranking humans underground, the branch that went to the stars has embarked on its return journey with great momentum, including a massive fleet and an eternal warship transformed from a planet. They are returning with a deep-seated hatred for the Masters and Demon Kings who once drove them to exile, and they intend to once again dominate everything on this planet."

Upon hearing this, Yue Li's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously exclaimed, "Wh...what?! An entire planet has been transformed into weapons?!"

"Yes, but that planet is much smaller than the one we are on, about one-seventh the size."

Yao Wang replied that it had also carefully read the document and felt it posed a great threat.

"Have the subterranean humans and the star-space humans maintained contact all these years? What is their relationship like?"

Jiang Mo frowned slightly. Listening to the descriptions of Fei Xian Yu Zhu and Yao Wang, he immediately estimated the size of the Eternal Warship, which was almost seven times the size of the moon.

This is only in terms of size; the most lethal aspect is the technological weaponry inside the warship, which Jiang Mo dares not underestimate.

He had some knowledge of technology. He knew that before the emergence of the Secret Realm Cult, the nuclear weapons researched by mortals could destroy mountains and lakes. If it were the Starry Sky Race, with its more profound foundation, it could probably destroy a secret realm, a country, or even a continent with a single blow by using forbidden-level weapons.

"Hmm... there should be some contact, but how much is it? It's not written in the report."

"The dragonman's mole has been captured by the subterranean humans and is facing execution. He could be killed at any time. However, this communication was initiated by the Starry Sky Humans, who contacted the subterranean humans. Their technology should be more than one level higher than that of the subterranean humans."

Yao Wang pondered for a moment, then said:

"For the past few thousand years, they have shared the same fate and the same ancestor, so their relationship should be quite good. Moreover, the territory of the underground human race has entered a state of war, with an energy barrier covering the entire territory to isolate any external matter."

“Mysterious Venerable, everyone, in my opinion, we should strike first, detain these humans, and interrogate them for information.”

It wasn't just them who thought this way; Yue Min was also making suggestions:
