Crushed by Force, Swept Along!

The sixty-fifth year of the Myriad Demons Calendar.

The Kunyuan Mountain Range stretch across the central part of the Profound Spirit Continent.

This mountain range, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, is shrouded in thick gray fog year-round; it is the absolute hub where Spiritual Qi gathers on the continent, and also the location of the Kunyuan Secret Realm, which opens only once every hundred years.

On the outskirts of the mountain range, atop a solitary peak that pierces the Yunxiao like a sharp sword.

Shi Jian sat cross-legged, his long purple and white robe fluttering in the strong wind.

Arcs of purple-gold lightning flickered on his body; with each breath, the surrounding Spiritual Qi transformed into a whirlwind and gathered around him.

Five years have passed since the Grand Purity Sect was destroyed.

For the past few years, he has been stationed here alone.

Holding the top-secret map left behind by the Grand Purity Sect, he measured this forbidden area inch by inch, thoroughly understanding the array nodes and the flow of Spiritual Qi on the outer perimeter.

"The direction of the earth's veins and the key points of the formation are exactly the same as those recorded in the Jade Slip." Shi Jian opened his eyes, his gaze carrying a hint of vicissitude.

He raised his head and looked towards the northern horizon.

A series of muffled rumbling sounds suddenly came from the sky.

Three Savage Wilderness auras tore through the clouds like falling meteors; Yuan Shan manifested a burly human form, wielding a colossal pillar that slammed heavily onto the mountaintop, causing the entire solitary peak to shake violently.

The Mountain-Moving Demon King and the Sea-Overturning Demon King stood to his left and right, their auras as deep as the abyss.

Immediately afterwards, sea fog rolled in from the east.

A massive spatial rift was forcibly torn open, and the Eight-Tentacled Demon King strode out, brandishing his tentacles. The Abyss Fish Demon King, transformed into a cold, black-robed man, walked slowly through the void.

Heavenly Ape Domain, Sea Beast Demon Domain.

The five Nascent Soul Demon King arrived as promised.

With the addition of Shi Jian, all the remaining top-tier combat forces of the Profound Spirit Continent have now gathered here.

"Shi Jian, what is the purpose of your summons here?"

Yuan Shan, leaning on the giant pillar, stared warily at Shi Jian: "Why aren't you enjoying a life of leisure in the Myriad Demon Domain? What are you doing here in this deadly place?"

The Eight-Tentacled Demon King's tentacles wriggled, and he chuckled in a sinister tone, "Could it be that the Myriad Demon Domain is too large, Ancestor Shi wants to include this Kunyuan Mountain Range in his own territory?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian remained expressionless.

With a single gesture, the Thunder Firmament Dragon-Slaying Spear, embedded in the rock beside him, fell into his palm; eighteen dragon souls swirled around the spear, radiating an unparalleled and terrifying power that sent chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing this, the five Demon King' pupils shrank simultaneously; they all took a half step back in unison, their Demon Power surging within them.

The tragic fate of the three Nascent Soul of the Flood Dragon Clan was still fresh in everyone's minds, and no one dared to underestimate this mad bear.

"I didn't call you here to fight for territory."

Shi Jian stood up, his gaze sweeping over the five demons, his voice cold and hard as iron. "You are all seniors, and I believe you are all well aware of the anomalies in this world."

"I've invited you all here today so we can all flip the table together."

"Flip the table?"

The Abyss Fish Demon King frowned slightly, somewhat not understanding.

Shi Jian casually waved his hand, and three Jade Slip slips emitting a faint golden light flew out and hovered precisely in front of the five demons.

"Take a look, the top secrets passed down through ten thousand years of the Grand Purity Sect."

Yuan Shan tentatively extended his Divine Sense, half believing and half doubting. The next moment, his expression changed drastically; even though his Sea Ape Clan also had records, none were as detailed as this.

"The Tomb of Spirit Transformation Lord? A Cage Between Heaven and Earth?"

"This is similar to what our clan suspected, yet there are differences; our ancestors believed that this land had been abandoned..."

"The theory of a Daoist tomb is somewhat plausible."

The Eight-Tentacled Demon King and the Abyss Fish Demon King also read the contents of the Jade Slip one after another, and their originally arrogant and guarded expressions instantly froze.

Is the theory of the Daoist tomb true?

"I do not know whether it is true or false. I have come here today to seek your help to tear this Kunyuan Secret Realm apart together."

"We have to try, at least, for a chance to escape this place."

Shi Jian smiled, and the five demons fell into a deathly silence.

Five thousand years ago, more than seventy Nascent Soul from the Human Race gathered here, hoping to detonate the core of the secret realm and break free from its confinement.

"But they were afraid of death, afraid of cutting off their sect's resources, so they eventually gave up; therefore, the Human Race rose to its peak and then declined, becoming the food we eat today."

"Although our Demon Race has reclaimed the Profound Spirit Continent, how long can this rule last?"

"Perhaps Human Race can never turn the tide, but don't you all want to see the outside world, cultivate the top-tier inheritances there, and break through to the Nascent Soul?"

Yuan Shan gripped the giant pillar tightly and pondered, "You mean, you want to emulate the Human Race of yesteryear and destroy the Kunyuan Secret Realm?"

"Good."

"Madman!"

The Mountain-Moving Demon King roared, "But what if the secret realm is destroyed, and the Spiritual Qi of the continent is depleted? If that Spirit Transformation Lord leaves behind countermeasures, won't we all be annihilated!"

Staying here is nothing more than waiting to die.

"A hundred years, a thousand years later, it will still turn into a handful of yellow earth."

Shi Jian raised his Thunder Spear, its tip pointing directly at the Mountain-Moving Demon King: "Cultivation is inherently defying the heavens. If you're going to worry about this and that, you might as well go home and nurse."

The Eight-Tentacled Demon King waved his tentacles to separate the two demons and quickly smoothed things over. "Fellow Daoist Shi, this matter is of great importance; the secret realm is full of fortuitous opportunity and numerous longevity-promoting spirit medicine."

"Wouldn't it be better if we went in and looted it? Why do we have to destroy it?"

"I'm not discussing this with you."

Shi Jian took a step forward.

Boom!

The terrifying power was about to be unleashed, crashing down like a hundred thousand mountains; the purple-gold lightning spread out in a ring around him, covering an area of a hundred miles.

The entire solitary peak cracked inch by inch under the onslaught of thunder.

Caught off guard, the five Demon King were pressed down by this violent pressure, their bodies sinking; their bones cracked and popped, they were actually suppressed!

"Fellow Daoist Shi, you've become even stronger!" Yuan Shan exclaimed in surprise.

The thunder spear in Shi Jian's hand erupted with a dazzling purple-gold light; eighteen dragon souls let out a deafening roar, the spear tip pointing directly at the five demons.

"Or, work with me."

"Either we all die here today, or my Myriad Demon Domain will take you down with one force!" Shi Jian's eyes were icy cold, murderous intent surged forth.

This is a blatant threat.

They either submit to me or become my enemies; Shi Jian will personally send them all to the Western Paradise!

There were no twists and turns, only absolute military crushing.

Press it down with force!

The Abyss Fish Demon King's face turned ashen, and his Demon Power surged wildly; just as he was about to unleash his power, the Eight-Tentacled Demon King firmly held his shoulder down.

Faced with the now ferocious Shi Jian, and that top-grade thunder spear that exudes unparalleled ferocity, even if the five demons joined forces today, their chances of winning would probably be less than 30%.

Everyone present knew perfectly well how Ao Hai and the others died.

Yuan Shan took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart; he knew that Shi Jian was not joking, and this mad bear really dared to kill them all here.

"Good."

"Heavenly Ape Domain, I am willing to accompany you on this journey."

"Big brother!" the Mountain-Moving Demon King exclaimed urgently.

"Shut up!" Yuan Shan interrupted, "Fellow Daoist Shi is right. Instead of being trapped here, we might as well take a gamble and bet on the future!"

Seeing the Heavenly Ape Domain lower its head, the Eight-Tentacled Demon King's eyes darted around, and it immediately put on a smiling face, "Since Brother Yuan Shan has agreed, my Sea Beast Demon Domain will naturally do its utmost to help."

"Breaking the cage will benefit us all."
