Southern Wilderness,

the Demon Sect headquarters, Demon God Mountain.

Gloomy clouds enveloped the heavens and earth, and the entire Demon God Mountain rarely saw the sun throughout the year, as if the Nine Netherworld had descended upon the mortal realm.

It is said that Demon God Mountain was where Chi You was defeated and beheaded during the ancient battle with the Yellow Emperor, thus tainted by demonic blood, becoming despised by heaven and earth, never to see daylight again.

After the Demon Sect lost the struggle against righteousness in the Central Plains, they established their sect's headquarters here, ruling over a hundred thousand miles of the South Wilderness Mountains.

Wooooo!

Between heaven and earth, the eerie wind howled, as if thousands of demons and spirits were wailing in the world.

That night, the sky above showed not a single star, torches on Demon God Mountain coiled and stretched like a dragon, illuminating every corner of the sect.

At this moment, within the entire Demon God Mountain, all high-ranking members of the Southern Demon Sect gathered here, waiting respectfully.

At a certain moment,

Whoosh!

The dark clouds above were stirred by a mysterious force, causing layers upon layers to converge into a massive vortex reaching through the heavens and earth at Demon God Mountain.

Simultaneously, a vast aura surged from deep within the forbidden area of Demon God Mountain, sweeping across certain corners of the world like a Giant Beast awakening from the wilds.

"We welcome the Holy Lord out of seclusion!"

All the high-ranking members of the Demon Sect below half-knelt towards the direction of the forbidden area.

"Hahaha!"

Accompanied by a mighty voice reverberating through the heavens and earth, the members of the Demon Sect felt their ears buzz as they saw a fierce and domineering figure descend from the sky.

Instantly, his body, brimming with celestial energy, triggered changes in heaven and earth.

The entire headquarters seemed to be engulfed by the eerie wind and ghostly wails, making one feel as if they had fallen into the Netherworld.

"After ten years of seclusion, my Netherworld Divine Skill has broken into an unprecedented Twelfth Layer Realm, and the old fool of Celestial Sword cannot be arrogant for long. Order the sect to be prepared, for I shall soon head north to deal with that old fool, and the sect shall soon return to the Central Plains!"

Jue Wutian flicked his sleeve and sat down with authority in the chief seat, a heavy and oppressive aura sweeping across the entire headquarters.

"The Holy Lord's divine skill is unparalleled, ruling the Martial World forever!"

The Demon Sect members shouted loudly,

Jue Wutian on the high platform looked down at the dense crowd of thousands in submission beneath his feet, his heart swelled with grandeur.

"Hahaha..."

His laughter thundered like storm clouds, sweeping across the four corners of Demon God Mountain, announcing his arrival.

Ten years ago, the brilliant Demon Sect Leader Jue Wutian ascended to the Grandmaster realm, then led the Demon Sect on a massive invasion of the Central Plains.

For a time, the Southern lands were ablaze with fire, one force after another attacked and destroyed, placing the entire Central Plains Martial Arts world in peril.

In this crisis, the righteous path of the Central Plains invited the first Grandmaster under heaven, Celestial Sword Elder, to duel with the Demon Sect Leader Jue Wutian on Dongting Lake.

That battle shattered the heavens and earth; Jue Wutian, newly ascended to Grandmaster, with unstable foundations, ultimately lost to the sword of Celestial Sword Elder, fleeing back to the Southern Wilderness in embarrassment.

Back at the Demon Sect headquarters, Jue Wutian sought to erase his shame, entering the forbidden area of Demon God Mountain in seclusion, hoping to break through the sect's supreme Demon Scripture Netherworld Divine Skill to the Twelfth Layer, continuing until today.

In fact, three years ago, Jue Wutian's Netherworld Divine Skill had already broken through to the Twelfth Layer, unprecedented and unmatched, subsequently spending time honing and stabilizing the realm, to increase his chances in the battle with Celestial Sword Elder.

Three years ago, the Demon Sect was ready to head north, and the massacre of the Celestial Essence Sect was precisely a probe arranged by Jue Wutian during his seclusion.

A large number of Demon Sect members gathered, and had prepared in the southern region of the Central Plains.

The great battle, about to erupt.

Dark clouds shrouded the sky, a storm was approaching.

"Hmm, where is Cyan Dragon? Only you three are here, where did Cyan Dragon run off to?"

Once the members dispersed, with only the Demon Sect high-ranking remaining around the headquarters, within the deep main hall of the Demon Sect headquarters, Jue Wutian squinted his eyes slightly, his thunderous voice echoing within the hall.

Three years ago, emboldened by his breakthrough to the Twelfth Layer of Netherworld Divine Skill, he sent forces north to probe.

The previous defeat against Celestial Sword Elder indeed taught him a lesson, making him more cautious than before.

Unexpectedly, having just broken through, his realm was not yet stable, subsequently requiring him to re-enter seclusion until today to complete his consolidation and emerge.

"To report to the Holy Lord, three years ago Cyan Dragon, under the Holy Lord's command, led the sect north..."

The remaining three Demon Venerables exchanged glances, White Tiger stepped forward, narrating the events of three years ago.

Within the deep hall, silence prevailed, only the voice of White Tiger Venerable slowly echoing in the air, the atmosphere extremely oppressive.

After White Tiger finished narrating,

With a loud bang, Jue Wutian slammed his hand on the armrest beside him, causing the air to subtly twist and reverberate.

"Audacious! Daring to kill my men!"

The entire hall grew darker, the surrounding candlelight seemingly at its end, icy murderous intent nearly freezing upon the ground.

Jue Wutian's gaze was deep, his sinister voice echoing:

"Very well, a mere newcomer, this time when I return to the Central Plains, before the showdown with Celestial Sword Elder, I need a Grandmaster's head to offer to my banner!"

From the seat above, Jue Wutian slowly extended his hand, his face revealing a menacing expression.

A black vortex appeared in the void, devouring the light of the entire hall, at that moment, where Jue Wutian was, transformed into a giant black hole, absorbing all worldly radiance.

The failure ten years ago indeed restrained Jue Wutian's arrogant demeanor somewhat.

But after ten years of seclusion, the sect's divine skill already practiced to the historically only theorized Twelfth Layer Realm, greatly enhancing his strength, even facing the current number one martial artist under heaven, Celestial Sword Elder, he was not the least afraid, much less just a newcomer Grandmaster?

With his current power, facing his ten-year-ago self, he was confident in taking him down within fifty moves.

Though a Grandmaster is the peak of Martial World, Grandmasters among themselves ultimately differ!

"The Holy Lord's divine skill is unparalleled, rule the Martial World forever!"

Feeling the presence of this Demon God-like abyssal Jue Wutian before them, the three Demon Venerables broke out in cold sweat, loudly shouting under the pressure of his mighty force.

"Hahaha!"

"Send a challenge to Celestial Sword Manor, see you on Dongting Lake in a month, to death or life!"

"Activate all operatives in the Central Plains! Locate that newcomer's whereabouts! Before the decisive battle with Celestial Sword Elder, I want his head to announce my return to the Martial World!"

Jue Wushen's darkly ominous gaze turned northward, as though piercing through layers of space, seeing the Celestial Sword standing tall on the Divine Land, his immense fighting spirit soaring to the sky.

His true enemy remained the one who dominated the Central Plains for decades, Celestial Sword Elder.

As for that Grandmaster from Celestial Essence Sect, just an appetizer before the main course!

Daring to provoke him, merely a casual matter to handle.
