The three remained silent, exchanging glances. At a distance of tens of thousands of meters, and with their auras concealed to the extreme, they were practically invisible to the other side. Why not make a move?

Jiang Mo did not explain the reason in detail, but under their gaze, he transformed from his ethereal, frosty-haired appearance into his second true form, which resembled a demon.

He stood there silently, like a sculpture, his gaze sweeping across the void again and again with intense vigilance. The faint sense of danger he had been carrying was magnified countless times in an instant, firmly settling on him.

It is a kind of danger that is as calm as a lake, yet can destroy the entire world in the instant of its eruption!

Even someone as powerful as the second true form felt a sense of unease and immense pressure.

"has a problem."

This was Jiang Mo's telepathic message to the three of them.

"Let's stop here for now and take another look."

Everyone remained silent, not wanting to disturb him. Jiang Mo continued his investigation, pushing his five senses to the limit, but he still couldn't pinpoint the location of that terrifying aura, the one that felt like a knife hanging over his throat.

After a moment, he did not hide anything and conveyed his feelings to the three of them.

"Just now, my body sensed a momentary danger; it was the most extreme instinct of the body that gave me a warning."

"Afterwards, I used this body and my enhanced perception to explore, but I found nothing. However, I must tell you that the danger level of the capital city below is extremely high. If you are not careful, you will perish."

"!!!"

The words echoed deep in their minds, and the three men's expressions changed slightly. This was completely different from what they had expected, but Jiang Mo was definitely not joking at this moment. The situation seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, it concealed a murderous intent.

To ascertain the situation, Xianhua immediately cast a spell and divined a hexagram. The hexagram was simple and clear, showing that the underground humans posed no threat whatsoever, like fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered at will.

Seeing this, the old man frowned even more. He believed in himself and in Jiang Mo, so he counted several more times with his fingers, and the result was exactly the same.

"The problem isn't those humans, but... something else."

Xianhua's mind was extremely sharp, and he guessed several possibilities in an instant. He did not dare to say them all, for fear of disturbing the secrets of heaven.

"Is it a weapon transmitted by the Starry Sky Clan, or... a forbidden technique carried by the Great Ye Dynasty?" Yue Min asked suspiciously.

"Hard to say."

Xianhua did not give a definitive conclusion, but his intuition told him that it was a third entity belonging to this world, apart from these two, but for some reason, he could not reveal it directly or indirectly.

The Flying Immortal Master had been with the old man for many years and was very clear about his deductive abilities. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the best in the world. He also knew a little about things that were beyond his ability.

The whereabouts of evil spirits, blood demons, ancient humans, and demons—these creatures that have disappeared or are hiding in secret realms—cannot be detected.

There are also details about the Starry Sky Human Race, the forces outside Tianyuan, and the movements of the three innate magical artifacts.

That's all the answers. As for which one could pose such a serious threat to Jiang Mo, the Flying Immortal Master had already figured it out, and his expression gradually became serious. His pupils contracted sharply, and a storm raged in his heart.

Coincidentally, when Jiang Mo met Xuan Hua's gaze, he understood the meaning conveyed in her eyes. Beneath the deep calm, there were various emotions, including admonition to be careful, curiosity, excitement, and anticipation.

In an instant, he recalled his previous conversation with the old man, and it seemed that the answers were limited to only a few. Soon, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Mo's lips.

When he looked down again at the underground human capital, a clear hint of mockery appeared in his eyes, and he sighed inwardly:

"Is he truly remarkable, or merely a puppet of the mantis stalking the cicada? We shall wait and see."

After exchanging glances for a while, the old man finally broke the silence and made the arrangements:

"Ling Chuan, you and Fellow Daoist Yue, assist Young Friend Jiang here. Do not get close. Use your supernatural powers to seal that capital city in space and time."

"Yes!"

"Leave it to us," the two agreed in unison.

"If anything goes wrong, don't hesitate and leave immediately. I should be fine. Your presence here will only distract me."

Jiang Mo also gave him a soft instruction. He adjusted his breathing, allowing his entire body to resonate, gradually entering the most perfect and peak state. He could not afford to be careless or slack off when he was battling against that unique weapon in the world.

"Ah."

With the agreement reached, the Flying Immortal Master and Yue Min were ready to take action at any time. Everything was in place, and they were just waiting for Jiang Mo to make his move.

However, he remained standing, continuously gathering his Qi to ensure that nothing went wrong. After a long time, the demonic Qi released by the three intersecting black rings behind him gradually subsided and transformed into a perfect arc. Thus, he succeeded!

"Do it."

With a shout, Jiang Mo stepped forward, traversing tens of thousands of meters, and instantly landed in the airspace above the underground human capital.

"Buzz!—"

Behind him, the Flying Immortal Master and Yue Min simultaneously activated 'Eternal Moment', completely sealing every inch of that vast city.

The invisible and boundless power of time surged forth like a raging sea, directly engulfing and penetrating its target. In an instant, the energy barrier within the capital city ceased to maintain its particle motion and froze.

The same was true for the many humans in the city; they were completely unaware that death was approaching.

"puff!"

Like the sound of roughly tearing brocade, it rang out in the city's dome. With just a glance from Jiang Mo, surging demonic energy condensed into a pair of colossal hands that covered the sky, wantonly crushing the energy barrier.

In an instant, a dense cluster of buildings and countless fair-skinned, tall, and robust humans appeared in his pupils.

Without any pity, without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Mo decisively activated the Heavenly Kingdom. The colorless vortex opened in an instant, expanding to more than a thousand kilometers, swallowing up all the underground humans in the entire city. The elites who came from the Great Ye Dynasty were also separated and imprisoned in different star regions.

Then the flow of time was changed, one second became ten thousand years, and the world changed drastically.

The whole process was terrifyingly simple. When he opened the Heavenly Kingdom again, countless corpses piled up like mountains. As his gaze swept over them, his supernatural power 'at will' transformed them into a gentle breeze, which then dissipated into the world.

The encounter ends the moment they meet; that's the terror of a Master. The underground humans, reliant on technology, have no ability to resist a monster of this caliber.

In the cold starry sky, the confidants of the Azure Universe King watched the bizarre scene unfold before them, their faces turning ashen, plunging into an abyss of despair, a chill running from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads!

They were imprisoned!

Moreover, the area set up by Jiang Mo allowed them to clearly see how many underground human races collapsed, went mad, and perished.

In the underground world, Xuan Hua, Fei Xian Yu Zhu, and Yue Min were all watching intently from behind.

Especially for Xianhua, his heart was pounding in his throat. He had a vague feeling that the lurking danger was about to emerge!

In the distance, Jiang Mo stood atop the city, surveying his surroundings and looking down at the empty capital below, he said:

"Come out."

"I know you're waiting for me."

"They could never control you, right? At least, that's the history I've seen."

As his voice spread to every corner, billions of rays of light, resembling incense, gradually coalesced, outlining a lifelike yet chilling figure.

"...Damn it."

Upon witnessing the innate magical artifact that desecrated the true appearance of the ancestor, the Flying Immortal Master couldn't help but curse angrily.

He knew it was this thing that was lying in ambush!

In the entire world, only it and the Chaos Cauldron can avoid Master Uncle's deductions and still pose an extreme danger to Xuan Zun!

At this moment, the ancient jade of the Heavenly Heart bears the imprint of the strongest being it has ever seen.

The Flying Immortal Dao Lord is exactly what it is; the only difference is that the former has thoughts and consciousness, while the latter is a combat body simulated by the materialized power of the laws of heaven and earth, without consciousness or sound, only instinct.

Endless heavenly lightning bolts surrounded Him, several times more terrifying than the last time He had seen them, almost reaching their limit. A rough count revealed tens of thousands of bolts. If they were all released, not only would the area of ​​the underground human race be shattered, but the entire underground world would probably be pierced through.

Jiang Mo stared at the innate magic artifact, utterly baffled as to why the other party would ambush him in this location...

Unlike fragmented historical records, this was a complete Heavenly Heart Jade. Jiang Mo felt as if he were standing on the edge of an abyss. He dared not act underground and directly extended an invitation:

"Come with me to the heavens, and let's fight to the death!"

"..." The figure did not respond, but disappeared in an instant, tacitly acquiescing to the request.

"call out!!!"

Seeing that He agreed, Jiang Mo immediately used the Void Escape Technique to instantly arrive in space hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Tianyuan Star. His relative position to the moon was exactly opposite, and they were extremely far apart.

"Come--!"

A battle cry resounded through the deep universe. Jiang Mo drew his black greatsword, his eyes sharp as knives, piercing through all concealment, and directly engaged in fierce combat with the Flying Immortal Dao Lord, who was a replica of the Heavenly Heart Ancient Jade.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

The Master's ultimate power was unleashed here without restraint, and the collision of every spell and supernatural ability shook the starry sky for tens of thousands of miles.

Fei Xian Yu Zhu, Xuan Hua, and Yue Min chased after them and saw the horrifying scene in the distance. Jiang Mo was fighting a bloody battle against Tian Xin Gu Yu. The scene was magnificent and grand, like two stars colliding, extremely cruel.

"boom!!"

Faced with the numerous attacks from the Heavenly Heart Jade, Jiang Mo remained silent, only gathering his strength to sweep his sword across, using force to break all laws. Whether it was the Falling Moon Glow, the Heavenly Tribulation, the Xuanwu Formation, or the Sun and Moon Divine Furnace, wherever his sword passed, everything shattered into dust.

Even so, the Heavenly Heart Jade still managed to block wave after wave of attacks, but its lightning grew dimmer and no longer as dazzling as before.

In the vast starry sky, the thunderous sound of war drums suddenly resounded, and endless celestial light poured down. Ancient mythological deities were resurrected, and one after another, towering figures that blotted out the sky appeared. These were the Heavenly Heart Ancient Jade, which, with the help of the Twelve Flying Immortal Techniques 'Miracle in the Mortal World,' illuminated the Dao Lords of the Primordial Era and the rulers of the Demon Race, totaling nine figures.

Each one of them was extremely terrifying, making the three onlookers' hair stand on end. Any one of them was a world-destroying existence. Coupled with the Flying Immortal Dao Lord simulated by the Heavenly Heart Ancient Jade, the combined attack of the ten supreme experts suddenly plunged Jiang Mo into a desperate situation.

"boom!!!"

A sword light slashed down vertically, and Jiang Mo followed up with a sword strike, colliding with it. The Boundless Jun, which had withstood nearly ten thousand clashes, shattered once again, turning into countless fragments!

Jiang Mo was splattered with blood on the spot and was knocked back hundreds of miles. A hideous wound was left on his chest, which almost killed him. He survived the attack, and his flesh and blood began to repair themselves rapidly, and he was completely healed in an instant.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!"

The nine ancient gods and the Heavenly Heart Jade joined forces, determined to kill Jiang Mo. They showed no mercy and unleashed their full power.

"Oops!"

"Can I help?"

Seeing that things were not going well, the Flying Immortal Master anxiously asked the old man for his opinion.

Jiang Mo, who was far away, was covered in blood. If the battle continued like this, he would be brutally killed by the Heavenly Heart Jade sooner or later.

He believed that if he intervened, he could at least hold off three or four ancient gods.

"No."

Xianhua spoke up to stop him. He watched everything unfolding before him with meticulous attention and realized that Jiang Mo had not used the power of the Book of Time, otherwise he would not have been suppressed to such a disadvantageous position.

"..."

Yue Min gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He wanted to help, but he was powerless to do so.

The battlefield there is too terrifying. Of the three, only the Flying Immortal Master is qualified to go there. If it acts on its own, it may backfire and drag Jiang Mo down with it.

Just as the two were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, the old man remained calm. He seemed to have seen through the situation and said without hesitation:

"Don't worry, I think I know why the Heavenly Heart Jade chose him."

"These innate magical artifacts are manifestations of the laws and will of the Heavenly Abyss."

"Now beset by internal and external troubles, the world needs to protect itself the most. This is undoubtedly a test. It is seeing whether young friend Jiang is qualified to tame it and master it in order to resist the threats from beyond the stars and the abyss."

"So, this is the tacit approval of fate?" Yue Min exclaimed, finding it hard to believe the truth behind this sudden tragedy.

"Correct."

"This is a trial for him alone. Whether he is reborn or shattered to pieces depends entirely on his fate."

"If we intervene, we will suffer an even more severe backlash from Heaven."

As Xianhua slowly explained the reason, the expression on his face not only did not ease, but became even more serious.

Chapter 523 Destroying the Heavenly Heart Jade

"boom!!"

A dazzling streak of blood-red light swept across the starry sky in an instant, destroying all the killing moves and supernatural powers from all directions.

It was none other than the third demonic eye that appeared between Jiang Mo's brows, containing supreme profound power. A blood-red beam of light shot out like a celestial sword, stretching for tens of millions of meters, annihilating everything in its path.

His body was covered in wounds; his once indestructible, iron-colored skin had been corroded and ulcerated by an unknown venom, revealing his bare bones.

Those gods who intervened were all infamous overlords from ancient times, whose presence in the present world was reflected by the Heavenly Heart Jade. They were not resurrected, but rather became even more powerful than in their previous lives!

Ten peerless Dao Lords—any human master who came to fight them would have died on the spot.

But who exactly is Jiang Mo?
