The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Before Zhou Shan could finish speaking, Jiang Chuan handed the phone to Liu Kaitao and said to him seriously, "Minister Liu, you lead the team down the mountain first!"

"Qingyun and I will go inside the crevice to investigate!"

Looking at Jiang Chuan's determined eyes, Liu Kaitao knew he couldn't persuade him no matter what, so he sighed, "Jiang Chuan, if there's any danger, remember to retreat. We'll always be behind you!"

"no problem!"

"Jiang Chuan, be careful in everything you do." Liu Kaitao clenched his fists, still unable to hide the worry in his eyes.

Qingyun flapped its wings and flew to Jiang Chuan's shoulder. Its eyes were firm, and it let out a soft cry to Jiang Chuan, "Big brother, let's go!"

Jiang Chuan nodded, turned to look at the crack, where demonic energy surged, as if it might overflow at any moment.

"Minister Liu, get down the mountain as quickly as possible and return to the command post."

"Just in case, quick!"

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath. No matter what difficulties lay ahead, he had to stand up and protect this land!
The man and the eagle disappeared into the depths of the cave and stepped into the crevice.

Liu Kaitao and the others returned to the organization as quickly as possible.

"Minister Liu, where is he?"

"Why didn't Jiang Chuan come back with you!"

Liu Kaitao sighed, then said to the technicians, "Turn on the large screen and continue to monitor Jiangchuan's situation!"

"He still went into the crack, child."

“This kid…” Liu Kaitao shook his head helplessly, but he had more trust in Jiang Chuan in his heart.

"Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, I still venture into the tiger's den." Liu Kaitao muttered to himself, then immediately ordered the technicians, "Closely monitor any movement in the crack, and notify me immediately if anything seems amiss."

"Yes!" the technician responded, then turned on the machine, and the image on the large screen reappeared.

It was just pitch black.

"What, no signal?"

"It seems like there's complete darkness inside this crack, but the signal detection is normal!"

"No! The signal is getting weaker; it's been jammed!"

The staff immediately tensed up, and Liu Kaitao pressed his hands to the screen, closely watching all the changes.

Within that mysterious and unpredictable crack, Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun were wandering around.

It was pitch black before his eyes, without any light. Jiang Chuan tried to use his spiritual power to illuminate the surrounding environment, but to no avail.

"Big brother, did you feel anything?"

Qingyun's voice echoed in the darkness.

"The demonic aura is getting stronger and stronger..."

Jiang Chuan responded, but Qingyun seemed to sense another power, "Big brother, I can feel Jiuying is right in front of us."

"His strength has been damaged; he is no longer the Demon Saint he once was."

"His current strength is at most at the mid-stage of the Profound Rank."

"Moreover, he has just awakened, and it is very likely that he has not even reached the mid-stage of the Profound Rank."

"We were partly lucky to defeat him just now."

Jiang Chuan nodded solemnly, but his eyes remained fixed on what was ahead.

They seemed unable to see the end of the crack, they just kept walking.

Qingyun was also slowly releasing spiritual power around him, and wisps of purifying wind swirled around him.

As time slowly passed, the demonic power around them increased rather than decreased.

"Qingyun, have you noticed? The demonic energy is getting stronger and stronger. We may very well be nearing our end."

Qingyun flapped its wings and flew back to Jiangchuan's shoulder, then used its spiritual power to probe ahead.

Suddenly, Qingyun shouted, "Watch out!"

Suddenly, several cold arrows, materialized from demonic energy, shot out from the darkness ahead, heading straight for the two of them.

Jiang Chuan dodged the attack with a quick movement, releasing his spiritual power throughout his body and maximizing his perception.

He frowned, realizing that enemies were waiting for him not far away. With that thought, he quickened his pace.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Suddenly, a strange laugh echoed through the empty crack, as if the space itself had been shaken.

"Nine babies!"

Jiang Chuan gave a cold shout, his voice firm and powerful, echoing through the dark rift.

"Ha, I didn't expect you to have the guts to move in!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent's voice was eerie and ghostly, its nine heads appearing and disappearing in the darkness, its body surrounded by a demonic aura that was even stronger than before.

Clearly, nourished by the demonic energy within this crack, his current strength has reached a new level.

What skills do you have from hiding?

"Come out and face me if you dare!"

Jiang Chuan shouted and gripped the Dragon Roar Sword tightly. The runes on the sword shimmered with a dazzling golden light as his spiritual power surged.

"Ha, do you even know where this place is?!"

"This is the passage to the demon realm. Once a human enters, there is no going back! Hahahaha!"

"And their strength will be greatly reduced, while I will be invincible here!"

The voice of the Nine-Headed Serpent echoed within the crack.

Jiang Chuan also clearly felt that after walking in this crack for so long, his spiritual power was no longer as surging as before.

Seeing this, Jiuying's sinister voice rang out again, "What? Are you scared?"

"late!"

"Kill them all!"

"Today is your death day!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent roared arrogantly, its heads opening their mouths wide, and streams of demonic energy transformed into tangible arrows, sweeping towards Jiangchuan and Qingyun like a torrential rain.

"Heh, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious!"

"The outcome is not yet decided, how can you so easily predict our victory or defeat!"

Jiang Chuan roared and did not back down. He swung his Dragon Roar Sword, and golden sword energy soared into the sky to meet the tidal wave of demonic arrows!

"Brother, I'm here to lend you a hand!"

With a sharp cry, Qingyun flapped its wings and flew upwards, unleashing spiritual power. The purifying power transformed into a sturdy shield in front of Jiang Chuan.

At the same time, Qingyun also launched an attack, his spiritual power transforming into sharp wind blades that rushed straight towards Jiuying.

Nine-Headed Serpent cackled eerily in the darkness, "Heh, here, I am the true form of immortality!"

"No one can defeat me!"

Neither Jiang Chuan's sword energy nor Qing Yun's wind blades had any effect on the Nine-Headed Serpent! "An illusion!?"

Jiang Chuan was shocked. Was everything that Jiu Ying had just shown him just an illusion?
Jiuying burst into laughter from within the crack, "I didn't expect you to see through my plan."

"That's right, everything you see of me is just an illusion!"

"You are not capable of finding my true form."

"But my attacks all cause real damage, hahaha!"

Jiang Chuan frowned, veins bulging on his forehead; he hadn't expected things to be so complicated.

Amidst Jiuying's triumphant laughter, Jiang Chuan showed no sign of panic; instead, his gaze hardened. He took a deep breath, and his spiritual power surged wildly once more. The golden light on the Dragon Roar Sword pierced through the demonic energy within the dark rifts like the rising sun at dawn.

"Trying to fool me with illusions? You're far from it!" Jiang Chuan sneered, and the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand instantly unleashed unprecedented power, a soaring sword aura directly approaching the illusion formed by the countless heads of the Nine-Headed Serpent.

"What? This power..."

The voice of Jiuying came from all directions, carrying a hint of shock and disbelief.

Although the technical staff at the Huashan Command Center and Liu Kaitao and others could not witness the situation firsthand, they could still feel the astonishing sword intent impact from the energy fluctuations reflected in the signal feedback, and they all exclaimed in surprise: "Jiang Chuan is defying the heavens!"

"Big Brother can actually sense the location of the Nine-Headed Serpent's true form?"

Qingyun was also surprised. Then it flapped its wings and flew high. The power of purification turned into a beam of light to guide the direction and help Jiang Chuan locate the true location of Jiuying.

"It seems you underestimated me, Jiuying!"

Jiang Chuan let out a low shout, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared in a place where the demonic energy was the most concentrated, and his sword pointed directly at a seemingly ethereal yet tangibly threatening aura.

"impossible!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent's voice echoed in the air, and its true form was finally forced to reveal itself. Faced with Jiang Chuan's extremely sharp sword strike, it had no choice but to mobilize all its demonic power to defend itself.

However, just as the Dragon Roar Sword was about to touch the Nine-Headed Serpent's true form, an even stronger resistance appeared, as if the entire demon realm passage was preventing Jiang Chuan's attack.

"Heh heh, even if you find me, how could you possibly hurt me?"

The Nine-Headed Serpent grinned maliciously, its body gradually becoming blurred under the influence of the demon realm passage, seemingly about to merge into the darkness.

"is it?"

Jiang Chuan's lips curled into a cold smile. He gripped the Dragon Roar Sword tightly, his eyes blazing. "As long as there's even the slightest possibility, I won't give up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chuan's body shone with golden light, and he seemed to transform into an incomparably sharp golden longsword, charging straight towards Jiu Ying with the determination to cut through everything.

"Jiang Chuan, you must hold on!"

Liu Kaitao clenched his fists in the command post, silently praying.

At this moment, Qingyun also let out a loud eagle cry, and the power of purification turned into a barrier, attempting to weaken the suppression of Jiangchuan by the demon realm passage.

"Success or failure depends on this!"

Jiang Chuan remained resolute and swung his sword. In an instant, sword energy and demonic power collided, triggering a battle that could shake the heavens and the earth.

"Rumble--"

The violent explosion echoed through the crack, and the powerful energy shockwave shook the entire cave.

Once the dust settled, the scene abruptly ended, leaving only silence and the anticipation and tension in everyone's hearts.

"Hey, why is the signal down?" one of them shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry, just wait."

Liu Kaitao spoke calmly, but his palms were already sweaty. Faced with such a dangerous enemy, could Jiang Chuan really hold on?
In that endless darkness, Jiang Chuan's figure seemed to merge with the Dragon Roar Sword, and he was like a golden lightning bolt, piercing straight at the Nine-Headed Serpent's true form.

Although Jiuying was in the demon realm passage and its strength had greatly increased, it was still difficult for it to withstand Jiang Chuan's desperate attack at this moment.

"You...couldn't possibly know my location!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent's voice, tinged with terror, echoed in the confined space as it desperately channeled its demonic power to try and withstand Jiang Chuan's attack.

The demonic energy in the surrounding cracks grew increasingly intense, even forming an invisible barrier. However, at this critical moment of life and death, Jiang Chuan's eyes became even more resolute. He murmured, "As long as our faith remains, what is there to fear from demons?"

Qingyun also let out a sharp cry in the air, and the power of purification transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, echoing Jiang Chuan's sword energy and fighting against Jiuying together.

"Hmph! Even if you find me, you won't be able to harm me in the slightest!"

With a roar, Jiuying unleashed its immense demonic power, which coalesced into a gigantic claw shadow, meeting Jiang Chuan's dazzling sword light head-on.

"Then give it a try!"

Jiang Chuan responded loudly, and the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand instantly burst forth with a golden light that illuminated the entire crack. The extremely sharp sword intent rushed straight towards Jiu Ying.

Inside the Huashan command center, everyone stared intently at the screen, their hearts pounding in their chests as they anxiously awaited the results.

One of the technicians couldn't help but shout, "Jiang Chuan, you absolutely have to hold on!"

Liu Kaitao clenched his fists and silently prayed, "Jiang Chuan, you can do it!"

Just as the two forces were about to collide, the signal suddenly dropped, and everyone held their breath, silently praying in their hearts.

"What's going on? Why is the screen black?"

"This demonic power is too strong at interfering with signals!"

"One of the staff members exclaimed."

Liu Kaitao frowned, his eyes filled with worry. "Continue trying to restore the signal. We need to know the situation in Jiangchuan."

At this critical moment of life and death, darkness and golden light intertwined within the crack, creating a breathtaking scene.

The enormous body of the Nine-Headed Serpent trembled under Jiang Chuan's sword. The collision between the demonic claw shadows and the golden sword energy generated violent energy fluctuations, and the entire crack seemed to tremble.

"Human, what secret technique have you cultivated that allows you to increase your power even in this environment!" All eight heads of the Nine-Headed Serpent showed expressions of horror.

"Secret techniques? This is humanity's belief in slaying demons and monsters!" Jiang Chuan shouted sharply, the golden light around him growing even more intense, and the runes on the Dragon Roar Sword seemed to come alive, swirling and churning on the blade.

"Shoot-"

The sword energy tore through the air, heading straight for the Nine-Headed Serpent's true form.

However, Jiuying was no pushover either. It used the power of the demon realm passage to instantly condense an even stronger demonic energy shield.

Meanwhile, inside the Huashan command center, Liu Kaitao and others stared intently at the screen, anxiously awaiting the signal to be restored.

Suddenly, a technician shouted excitedly, "Signal's back! The video's back!"

On the screen, the battle between Jiang Chuan and Jiu Ying had reached a fever pitch. The collision of their energies caused space to warp, forming a huge vortex that enveloped them both.

"Jiang Chuan, you must hold on!" Liu Kaitao clenched his fists and silently prayed.

"Big brother, I'll lend you a hand!" Qingyun also felt the pressure Jiang Chuan was facing. It let out a loud eagle cry, and its purifying power was like a pillar of light shooting into the sky, merging with Jiang Chuan's sword energy to fight against Jiuying's demonic power.

Seeing this, Jiuying roared repeatedly. Its demonic aura began to dissipate in the face of the purifying power, which made it even more frantic, and it fought back with all its might.

"You two won't be able to defeat me!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent roared, its eight heads opening their mouths simultaneously, unleashing an even more powerful torrent of demonic energy.

However, just as the demonic power was about to strike Jiang Chuan, the Dragon Roar Sword in Jiang Chuan's hand suddenly burst out with unprecedented dazzling light. He flashed and his sword momentum was like a rainbow, pointing straight at the vital point of Jiu Ying's heart!
"Evil shall be destroyed, justice shall prevail!" Jiang Chuan shouted, his figure instantly disappearing into the golden sword light as he sped toward Jiuying.

Everyone in front of the screen held their breath, staring intently at the golden sword light that pierced the darkness, anticipating the final outcome.

"Bang—" With a deafening crash, the screen went dark again, leaving only silence.

"Hey, why did it disconnect again?" (End of Chapter)
