Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 437 - 430: Target, the Black Continent

While the powers of the Black Continent’s Dark World were secretly undergoing an unimaginable upheaval, the rest of the world remained at peace.

Powers within the Dark World, especially organizations on the level of the Black Continent’s big three, were certainly on the watchlists of various nations. Their every move was monitored, but this surveillance was limited in scope, and few resources were dedicated to it.

What’s more, the three major organizations had all strictly locked down information, making it difficult for other countries to obtain any real intelligence for the time being.

There was only one exception.

Donghua, Shangjing Prefecture.

The summit of Zixiao Mountain.

The Saint Awakening Martial Artists and Spirit Guardians currently in Shangjing had all gathered.

After Li Qingxuan had warned Zhou Yuanjue in a dream, Zhou Yuanjue immediately went to the Chief Commissioner to explain the situation, which the latter took very seriously.

As a result, Donghua had quickly activated its intelligence network in the Black Continent, monitoring its every move. On the very day of the Hunter’s Mark incident, they had obtained relatively concrete intelligence.

And so, that led to today’s gathering.

The Chief Commissioner, Chen Qingmu, Lei Yi, Zhou Yuanjue, Hong Miao, Zhang Zhizhen...

There were over ten powerful individuals of S Class and above in the courtyard, making the space feel crowded.

Donghua’s top-tier combat strength was developing at a rapid pace, growing ever stronger.

"I’ve gathered everyone today because not long ago, we received intelligence from the Black Continent."

"If you’re unfamiliar with the organizations mentioned in the report, please review the documents on the table."

"The leader of the Hunting Mark Organization battled the leader of the Desolation Organization in the Hunter’s Mark Life and Death Arena. Ultimately, the Desolation Organization’s leader was killed, and the Hunting Mark Organization’s leader was grievously wounded. He is said to be in a coma to this day and is unlikely to recover in the near future."

"We have another piece of intelligence. We speculate that the Desolation Organization and the Baiyi Organization have reached some kind of agreement. Furthermore, it appears the leader of the Desolation Organization was one of the Seven Mo Luo."

the Chief Commissioner said to everyone present.

Those who were unfamiliar with the situation in the Black Continent read the intelligence reports on the table to get a general idea. One by one, their expressions turned grave.

In the Black Continent—a region that ranks at the bottom of the world in economy, culture, military, and even individual strength—these three organizations held immense, pivotal influence.

In the past, international opposition had forced them into the shadows. But if they were to gain the support of the Starry Sky Country, the entire situation could be upended.

War, carnage, slaughter...

"According to the intelligence that Yuan Jue received from a special channel, the ultimate goal of the Starry Sky Country’s series of actions in the Black Continent is to free the Master of Desolation, one of the Twelve Celestial Demon Ancestors,"

the Chief Commissioner continued.

"That can’t be right."

Hong Miao and the other Spirit Guardians frowned upon hearing this.

"Why? Is something amiss?"

Chen Qingmu asked.

"Logically, it shouldn’t be time for the Celestial Demon Ancestors to break their seals yet. Our ancestors’ power still envelops the Seals, and an Ancestral Level Seal cannot be undone so easily before its power enters a period of decay."

"Take the Sealing Realm Image established in Kunlun by the ancestors of the Moon Race, for example. Even if the Celestial Demons found its location, they wouldn’t have the power to break it completely. They can only wait for the right opportunity—either for the Ancestral Power to wane, or..."

Hong Miao said, frowning.

"Or what?"

the others asked.

The young Spirit Guardians exchanged a glance before Hong Miao finally said, "Or... they could fulfill specific conditions that would allow a Celestial Demon Ancestor to recover enough power to shatter the Realm Image."

"However, that doesn’t seem to align with the Celestial Organization’s current interests. The source of a Celestial Demon Ancestor’s power is typically a negative concept. For instance, the Celestial Demon Ancestor ’Ji,’ who is sealed within the Kunlun Immortal Palace, is known as the ’Golden Mother.’ Her power is rooted in war and slaughter. The loosening of her Realm Image was likely an accumulation of energy from the last two widespread global wars."

"Another example is the Primordial Ancestor ’Rainbow,’ who was sealed by my clan. The essential power he represents seems to be tied to concepts like ’hegemony,’ ’conquest,’ and ’dictatorship.’"

Hong Miao said.

"So, what kind of negativity does the Master of Desolation in the Black Continent require?"

the Chief Commissioner asked.

"I’m not entirely sure of the specifics, but we can make some reasonable deductions from the title ’Master of Desolation’."

"The fall of life, the desolation of nature... perhaps what he needs is widespread death and destruction? However, after being sealed by the ancestors, they seem to have been seeking to change. It’s impossible to judge the specifics."

"But since the Celestial Demons are currently preparing to implement their ’Neo-Humans’ plan, they must harbor ambitions of world conquest. For them, such an impatient act would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; it doesn’t seem to align with their overall strategy,"

Hong Miao said.

Widespread death and destruction...

The attendees exchanged glances. Judging from the Starry Sky Country’s series of maneuvers in the Black Continent, there really did seem to be signs pointing in that direction.

’What are they really planning to do by allying with the major Dark World organizations of the Black Continent?’

"It seems a change has taken place that we are not yet aware of,"

the Chief Commissioner said.

"Regardless, the Celestial Demon Ancestors cannot be freed this soon. Otherwise, it would be an absolute catastrophe for us,"

Hong Miao said with a solemn expression.

"Exactly. No matter what they’re scheming, we cannot allow them to succeed."

"Since they want to ally with the major Dark World organizations of the Black Continent, we cannot simply stand by and do nothing."

"Moreover, countless lives are at stake, and this could even be the spark for a new world war,"

Chen Qingmu nodded, his tone grave.

"The leader of the Hunting Mark Organization fought a bloody battle against the leader of the Desolation Organization—a suspected member of the Seven Mo Luo—and killed him. This proves that they haven’t made a deal with the Starry Sky Country or the Celestial Demons."

"They will undoubtedly become the primary target of the other two organizations, and perhaps even the Celestial Organization itself. We cannot let them fall. Otherwise, the situation in the Black Continent will spiral completely out of control,"

Zhou Yuanjue said.

"And that is precisely why I’ve gathered you all here. This time, our target is the Black Continent,"

the Chief Commissioner said.

"We must ensure the Hunting Mark Organization is not absorbed. If possible, we should also inflict heavy damage on the other major organizations in the Black Continent, stripping them of their ability to stir up trouble. This will allow the situation there to remain relatively stable."

"Everyone, this operation on that chaotic continent will be nothing short of a true war. It is highly likely we will face attacks from the Celestial Organization’s most powerful forces."

"But we have no choice but to intervene. Are you... prepared?"
