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

Just then, as everyone was immersed in the joy of defeating the Black-Scaled Flood Dragon and the worry about the fate of the Bull Demon King, their emotions were intertwined.

The eerie and ethereal voice of the evil demon pierced the night sky like a cold wind, striking straight into everyone's hearts.

"Humans and demons are about to crush the human realm. At that time, you humans will cease to exist!"

Before the words were even finished, an extremely oppressive dark aura, like dark clouds obscuring the sun, instantly enveloped the entire icy sea.

Everyone looked up and saw the figure of the Evil Heart Demon floating in mid-air like a ghost, its deep, bottomless eyes flashing with mockery and malice.

"Do you think you can change your fate by defeating a mere black-scaled dragon?"

The evil demon sneered, "This is just an appetizer from the demon realm for you."

"The real disaster is gathering in the demon realm, waiting to turn the human realm into ruins."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

They wanted to retaliate immediately, but before they could make a move, the figure of the Evil Heart Demon suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only his chilling words echoing in the air.

"Within three days, the demon realm will raze the human world to the ground!"

As the evil inner demon departed, the surrounding environment seemed to be pulled back to reality by an invisible force.

The forest remained cold, and the moonlight remained bright, as if the fierce battle and the warning from the inner demons were merely illusions.

However, everyone's faces were solemn at this moment.

"Three days, only three days!"

Jiang Chuan gripped the Ice Blade tightly, his tone resolute, "We must find a way to stop the demon army before they descend!"

Qingyun and Shen Jing nodded silently. They understood that in the face of the impending cataclysm, they had no time for grief and fear. Only by uniting as one could they possibly fight for a chance of survival for humanity.

"Li Chunfeng, what suggestions do you have?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Li Chunfeng, who remained calm and composed. He knew that this mysterious fortune teller might be able to point them out a way out.

Li Chunfeng closed his eyes slightly, and the Bagua compass in his hand emitted a faint light. He chanted incantations as if communicating with some mysterious power between heaven and earth.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with wisdom.

"I have divined that to resist the invasion of the demon realm, we need to go to the far north, where there is a place called Demon Sealing Valley, which is said to hold the secret to sealing the passage to the demon realm."

"Demon Sealing Valley?"

Qingyun frowned slightly. "I've heard a little about that place. It's said to be extremely dangerous and sealed off by a powerful barrier, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter."

“Yes,” Li Chunfeng nodded, “but the divination shows that the three of you have intricate connections with the Demon Sealing Valley. Only you can break the barrier and obtain the key to the sealed demon realm passage.”

Jiang Chuan, Qing Yun, and Shen Jing exchanged a glance. They understood that this might be their only chance.

"The three of us?" Shen Jing glanced at Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun beside him.

"Yes, the divination can only go this far; the rest is the secret of heaven."

"At this point, we have no other choice."

Jiang Chuan said with a solemn expression.

"Don't hesitate, let's set off immediately for the far north, to the Demon Sealing Valley!"

Li Chunfeng then turned his gaze to the Bull Demon King.

"The Bull Demon King also needs to accompany us; he can be of some help then."

But everyone looked at the Bull Demon King's battered and bruised appearance.

Just as Jiang Chuan was about to speak, the Bull Demon King slowly stood up. The broken iron rod, under the Bull Demon King's demonic power, was restored to its original state.

"No problem, I can do it!"

"Master, what about you?"

Shen Jing looked at Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng, holding a Bagua compass, said, "I have other things to do."

"The Diviners' Alliance is about to undergo a major transformation."

Although no one understood what Li Chunfeng was doing, they still nodded.

"Jiang Chuan, keep a close eye on my apprentice. If anything happens to Shen Jing, I will definitely come looking for you."

As soon as Li Chunfeng finished speaking, a gust of celestial wind drifted by, and he and the celestial wind disappeared from everyone's sight.

Jiang Chuan watched Li Chunfeng's retreating figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

It seems that the alliance of institutions and fortune tellers has an opportunity to cooperate and fight against the apocalypse.

He turned his head and looked at the crowd.

"Everyone, let's go!"

"it is good!"

Shen Jing, Qingyun, and the Bull Demon King responded in unison!
As night deepened, the moonlight shone on the cool earth, illuminating the peculiar figures of a group of travelers.

Jiang Chuan, Qing Yun, Shen Jing, and the Bull Demon King, who had just recovered from serious injuries, walked side by side.

They were neither heroes who rode the wind and waves, nor immortals who commanded birds and beasts, but rather the Bull Demon King, who had transformed into a green ox, embarking on a journey to the Demon Sealing Valley in the far north.

The Bull Demon King was clad in emerald green scales, his golden eyes gleaming with unwavering determination. Despite his massive size, he moved with steady steps, like a moving mountain carrying everyone forward at breakneck speed.

"Brother Niu, your transformation is truly wondrous."

“Unlike me, I’ve already transformed into human form and am riding on my little brother’s back.”

Qingyun patted the Bull Demon King's sturdy back armor and exclaimed in sincere admiration.

The Bull Demon King gave a low hum, clearly quite satisfied with his new identity and not bothered by these things.

After all, his current status is that of Qingyun's underling.

Shen Jing laughed and said from the side, "Qingyun, you've really taken off this time."

"You also gained a follower on this trip."

Qingyun raised the corners of his mouth, "Of course, but my older brother is still the best!"

"You don't know, while you were unconscious, a master appeared and managed to subdue this Bull Demon King."

"Otherwise, we'd probably be finished too."

The Bull Demon King turned his head and glanced at Shen Jing, then lowered his head again, acknowledging the matter.

Its body trembled slightly, and it couldn't stop shaking when it recalled Tang Chun's terrifying gaze.

However, the Bull Demon King still pouted and said, "But in terms of strength, I am the strongest among us."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan smiled. He knew that although the Bull Demon King was stubborn, he was already in the same boat with them.

He turned around and said seriously, "Bull Demon King, your injuries have not yet healed. If you feel unwell on the way, you must tell us."

"Don't worry!" the Bull Demon King said confidently. "It's just a minor injury, it won't be a burden to me."

"Yes, let us know immediately if anything happens."

The night wind howled, passing through the woods and causing the clothes of the group to flutter.

Under the starlight, they traversed mountains and valleys, crossed turbulent rivers, avoided bustling crowds, and sped towards the legendary northern land, the Demon Sealing Valley.

"By the way, Bull Demon King." With nothing to do on the way, Jiang Chuan had some questions he wanted to ask the Bull Demon King.

"What's wrong, boss?" the Bull Demon King hummed, looking down.

"What exactly is the demon realm like?"

Jiang Chuan fell into reverie. He had also considered venturing into the demon realm, but the limitations of his own strength made him abandon the idea.

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King shook his head. "The demon realm? Might makes right."

"The demon realm has a very strong hierarchical system." "The demon realm is divided into lesser demons, demon spirits, monsters, demon lords, demon kings, demon saints, and demon emperors."

"So what level are you?" Qingyun asked curiously as he approached.

"Me? The Demon Lord."

After the Bull Demon King finished speaking, Qingyu sighed.

"Hey, didn't you say you were the Demon King before? Sure enough, all your words were just empty promises." Qingyun gave the Bull Demon King a disdainful look.

The Bull Demon King's face was slightly red at this moment. "Although I am a demon lord, I am only one step away from becoming a demon king."

"To be honest, that evil demon has a very high status among the demon race."

"He himself is not very strong, but he is good at summoning demons. The Demon Chess Game is his masterpiece."

"But what I really didn't know was that he could forcibly change the environment and create that black-scaled dragon."

Jiang Chuan interrupted, "Is there any indication that the demon realm intends to conquer the human realm?"

The Bull Demon King thought about it briefly.

"Yes, a few days ago, there was a fairly large discussion about humanity."

"You know Jiuying, right? His seal was broken, but his strength hadn't recovered before he was sealed again."

"Jiuying holds a very high position in the demon realm, and this matter has caused a great sensation in the demon realm."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan's lips twitched slightly. It turned out that this was all because of him.

Looking at the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand, he realized that Jiuying was currently sealed within it.

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan's subtle expression, the Bull Demon King immediately realized something.

"No way... you sealed Jiuying away, didn't you?" The Bull Demon King's voice trembled slightly.

Jiang Chuan scratched his head awkwardly and said embarrassedly, "Um, it's me..."

"I never expected that I would cause such a stir in the demon realm."

The Bull Demon King also sighed, "Actually, I should have guessed it was you a long time ago, but with your mid-stage Xuan-rank strength, you shouldn't be able to seal the Nine-Headed Serpent."

"But at that time, I was at the Great Perfection of the Yellow Rank."

Jiang Chuan's casual remark instantly shocked the Bull Demon King, leaving him stunned on the spot.

"You...what did you say?"

"You sealed away the Nine-Headed Serpent when you were at the Great Perfection of the Yellow Rank?"

The Bull Demon King's throat bobbed, utterly unable to believe what was happening.

"Yes."

Jiang Chuan responded calmly.

The Bull Demon King was speechless. In his mind, even if the Nine-Headed Serpent had just been unsealed, its strength was not enough to be defeated by a Yellow-Rank Great Perfection cultivator! Let alone being sealed inside.

"What do you know? Our eldest brother has an innate, awesome divine body."

Qingyun couldn't resist boasting from the side.

Shen Jing listened intently, not expecting that so many things had happened to Jiang Chuan.

The Bull Demon King also remarked, "You are destined for great things in the future."

Jiang Chuan gave a wry smile. "A great stroke of luck, huh?"
Didn't they say the world would end in two years?
It's impossible to say what the world is really like right now.

Well, let's just take it one step at a time.

If humanity can face that apocalypse head-on, all will be well; if not, the world may have to start anew.

"By the way, is there any connection between the demon realm and the celestial realm?"

Jiang Chuan asked again.

The Bull Demon King pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I have no access to these things. I just bully the little monsters sometimes..."

"As for the Celestial Realm, I haven't heard anything about it for a long time."

Jiang Chuan didn't think much of it and nodded slightly.

After all, the Bull Demon King wasn't a particularly powerful figure among the demon race.

It's understandable that they didn't know.

However, through this experience, Jiang Chuan became even more certain of his thoughts.

My own strength is still too weak.

The Bull Demon King, who was at the mid-Earth Rank, was actually just a Demon Lord.

What about the Demon King, Demon Saint, and Demon Emperor?

There are probably even more powerful monsters out there.

Ah, thankfully I didn't rashly venture into the demon realm back then, otherwise I probably wouldn't even have a complete corpse left.

……

One day, they passed through a desolate desert, where the scorching sun baked the earth and the sand was as hot as fire.

The Bull Demon King's steps were heavy, and his breathing became increasingly labored, clearly indicating that he was nearing his physical limit.

Shen Jing looked at the Bull Demon King with some heartache, took out a bottle of cool spiritual spring water from his backpack, and carefully fed it to the beast.

"Bull Demon King, you've worked hard," Shen Jing said softly. "Once we find the Demon Sealing Valley, everything will be alright."

The Bull Demon King glanced gratefully at Shen Jing and let out a low growl, as if responding to his encouragement.

Then, it vigorously raised its hooves and continued to lead everyone across the vast desert.

Just as they were about to exhaust themselves, a verdant oasis appeared ahead, with clear lake water and swaying coconut trees, like a miracle in the desert.

The Bull Demon King excitedly ran to the lakeside, drank from the clear spring, and regained his strength.

Jiang Chuan, Qing Yun, and Shen Jing sat around the lake, sharing food and taking a short rest.

As night fell, the campfire flickered by the lake, illuminating the faces of the four men.

They sat around the fire, talking about the future. Although the road ahead was unknown, their hearts were incredibly close at that moment.

"Jiang Chuan, do you think Fengyao Valley can really find the secret to sealing the passage to the demon realm?" Shen Jing looked up at the starry sky, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Jiang Chuan nodded firmly: "Your master's words are quite credible. Wasn't it your master who told you about the scroll that day?"

"Yes, he probably knew you would come, so he called me."

Jiang Chuan nodded. "Yes, maybe your master wants to see what your attitude is towards the Diviner Alliance and the organization."

"No matter what, I'm on your side. I've thought about this issue a long time ago."

"My master can still live without me. If you become my adversary, I'm afraid you'll be very sad, right?"

After Shen Jing finished speaking, Jiang Chuan patted Shen Jing on the shoulder and said, "I've thought about this issue countless times. Whatever decision you make, I will respect it."

"After all, in your position, whatever you do seems to be wrong."

"But thankfully, I don't have to think about that anymore."

"Your master went back to reorganize the Diviner Alliance. Is he already preparing to cooperate with the organization?"

Jiang Chuan thought about it and figured that the matter was probably a done deal.

"This... I don't know. My master was strongly opposed to this before."

"But now that belief has wavered, there should be a chance."

"However, our current mission is still to head to the Demon Sealing Valley to find the secret of the passage that seals the demon realm." (End of Chapter)
