Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

The Snow Dragon Empire's release of nuclear weapons caused extreme panic among the countries in the Middle East, prompting people to involuntarily associate it with the terror of unstable times.

Driven by this fear, all countries sought to band together for warmth, to confront the fear brought about by the Snow Dragon Empire's actions.

Many countries naturally sought out the Red Star, the former world hegemon, in the first place.

But...

The Snow Dragon Empire's sudden "insanity" left everyone in the Red Star Empire equally bewildered.

Furthermore, given that the Snow Dragon Xie Family's strength in the Artifact Nurturing Realm was clearly superior to the Jiang Family's of the Red Star, they dared not act rashly before they could understand why the Snow Dragon Empire acted so abruptly.

Beyond strengthening their defenses, they cared little about the life and death of other countries.

Like a child unloved by both grandparent and grandmother.

Having no other choice, these countries had to turn their attention to the Rebirth Society, which had recently dealt a severe blow to the Red Star Empire, though the Red Star was helpless against it.

Despite their doubt over whether the Rebirth Society could actually confront the Red Star, the fact that the Red Star Imperial Palace had shown them complete disdain left them with no other option.

With no alternatives, they naturally chose to return to the embrace of the Rebirth Society.

The Rebirth Society understood this as well.

The original Rebirth Society needed the support of various countries to operate normally.

To some extent, the Middle Eastern countries held the initiative.

But now...

With the betrayal of the Middle Eastern countries beforehand, and the Rebirth Society having demonstrated its strength against the Red Star Imperial Palace, the tables had turned; it was no longer a matter of offering just some money, materials, and manpower in support.

Under Alkaid's instruction, Divine Weapons and Spirit Pills from each country were continuously sent to the Rebirth Society, then transferred to Alkaid's possession.

Although the value of Divine Weapons provided by each country was not significant—at most, they could only push the progress of a Ninth Rank Martial Path practitioner by 1% to 2%—the sheer number of countries defecting was overwhelming.

The number of significant countries increased from about thirty to forty-three, and along with the smaller nations, the new Rebirth Society eventually encompassed over eighty countries.

The world seemed to be quickly polarizing into three power blocs.

...

As the Red Star Empire watched the Snow Dragon Empire and the Rebirth Society locked in an inextricable fight, Ji Pingtian, Hong Chuan, and Ye Longxing returned to the secluded Emperor Yu's Mountain Villa where Alkaid was cultivating in secret.

Accompanying him this time was a team.

At the head of this team was a tall woman with long golden hair, delicate features, and the appearance of being in her early thirties.

...

"Princess Xie Yi'er?"

Upon hearing Ye Longxing's introduction to the woman, Alkaid showed a hint of surprise.

The golden-haired woman looked at Alkaid with a young face, also quite moved, "Although we have already seen the photographs and videos of Lord Alkaid from our material, when we see you in person, we still cannot help but find it unbelievable.

It's hard to imagine that someone as young as you, with your own power, could slaughter your way through the Red Star Imperial Palace, and after killing the Emperor Jiang Shengtian of the Red Star, the True Dragon Jiang Xuntian of the Jiang Family, and other high-ranking members including Jiang Ruolong, still manage to leave so composed below the interception of thunder."

"You flatter me."

Alkaid nodded slightly.

He glanced at Hong Chuan beside him and turned his attention back to her, "So... you have come seeking collaboration?"

"Yes."

The Princess of the Snow Dragon Empire nodded slightly, "We hope to collaborate with you, Lord Alkaid, to combat the Rebirth Society together."

"The Rebirth Society?"

Alkaid was somewhat surprised, "I thought you needed our strength to confront the Red Star Empire."

"The Red Star? Those people... if it weren't for the fear of their strength in the Artifact Sect, they'd be nothing but dry bones in a tomb."

Xie Yi'er's contempt for the Jiang Family of the Red Star was undisguised, "The Rebirth Society and the Moon Demon Empire behind them are our true concerns."

After the Rebirth Society is annihilated, and we learn the true situation of the Artifact Sect...

If the Artifact Sect has truly been destroyed by the Moon Demon Empire, and the Jiang Family has lost its backing in the Artifact Sect, the Red Star Empire can be overturned with a flip of the hand.

Alkaid wasn't surprised that the Snow Dragon Empire was aware of the true details of the Rebirth Society.

But...

"I don't understand why, after more than a decade of staying out of the affairs concerning the Rebirth Society, the Snow Dragon Empire has suddenly become so aggressive in its operations against them."

Alkaid said.

Before coming to him, Xie Yi'er's clan think tank had rehearsed the various questions Alkaid might ask, and the higher-ups had informed them of what should and shouldn't be disclosed.

So faced with Alkaid's question, she didn't hesitate to speak directly, "The Rebirth Society made the worst mistake they should never have made, forcing our hand to take risky actions."

She looked at Alkaid and said directly, "Lord Alkaid, have you ever learnt about the true nature of the Moon Demon Empire?"

"I am studying it, and during this period I have been continuously instructing the Rebirth Society to search for traces of the members of the Rebirth Society, especially their leader Mo Huang."

Alkaid said, "But I'd like to hear more about what the world hegemon, the Snow Dragon, understands about the Rebirth Society."

Xie Yi'er didn't mind Alkaid's verbal maneuvering and directly spoke, "Although the Snow Dragon Empire has not directly struck against the Rebirth Society in the past dozen years, research and investigations have never stopped. According to over a decade's worth of research, we have discovered that the Moon Demon Empire follows a pure Divine Path system."

She paused before continuing, "Lord Alkaid, are you familiar with the Divine Path?"

"Of course."

Alkaid nodded slightly, "Qi Refining into Divinity specializes in visualization and the spirit, then solidifying spirit into Divine Soul, evolving Divine Sense, reaching the peak in perception and exploration..."

At this point, he paused, "At a deeper level of practice, it involves Soul Snatching, Possession, and the Manipulation of all beings."

"Correct."

Xie Yi'er nodded, "Clearly the Moon Demon Empire are the grandmasters of the Divine Path; through research of special Methods and with the aid of devices and Formations, they allow... or rather demon souls, to descend directly into this world and take over.

Since they have a profound understanding of cultivation and a complete enhancement system, once they enter this world and occupy a body, they become powerful rapidly..."

"Demon souls..."

Alkaid had long speculated about the beings from the Moon Demon Empire in his heart.

These creatures...

They greatly resembled the "Extraterrestrial Fiends" he had read about in some biographies.

However, the "Extraterrestrial Fiends" from the Moon Demon Empire were undoubtedly much stronger than the fiends he was familiar with.

This must be because each has its own field of expertise.

Compared to other extraterrestrial fiends, those from the Moon Demon Empire had almost systematized the process of how to erode a world.

Opening channels, descending, possession, lurking, infiltrating, demonizing, and so forth.

They indeed had a complete process.

At this moment, Alkaid seemed to realize something and suddenly said, "The Moon Demon Empire behind the Rebirth Society... has taken possession of an important figure in the Snow Dragon Empire!?"

"Yes."

Xie Yi'er nodded gravely: "They took over the strongest of my Snow Dragon Empire—Xie Boen!"

This statement made Alkaid freeze for a moment.

Ji Pingtian, Hong Chuan, Ye Longxing, and the others beside him were also violently shaken.

Their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Xie Boen!?"

Hong Chuan couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Rumors have it that Marshal Xie is the only high-rank cultivator in the world today..."

"Yes."

Xie Yi'er gave a precise response.

For a moment, the Divine Intent Martial Saints exchanged looks and all felt their scalps tingle with apprehension.

A high-rank cultivator!

A Celestial!

A Celestial of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle caliber from the Snow Dragon Empire was actually taken over by a powerful entity from the Moon Demon Empire backed by the Rebirth Society!?

This...

How is that possible?

Moreover...

Were they even supposed to hear such confidential and core information?

"What exactly happened? I heard that there were nuclear bombs detonated at Jade Capital Mountain..."

Ji Pingtian couldn't help but ask.

"That was a command my second grandfather issued when he felt that he could no longer hold off the terrifying entity from the Moon Demon Empire attempting possession and erosion! He and that fiendish creature perished together!"

The resilience of a Celestial's body means that ninety-nine percent of conventional weapons are ineffective against them.

The other one percent of weapons...

Either miss them or come with other limitations.

In today's world, only nuclear weapons with wide ranges and strong force truly pose a threat to Celestials.

However, considering that each Celestial often leads a powerful empire, their country and intelligence agencies are likely to receive an advance warning to evade before the nuclear weapons are launched and arrive, so the threat of nuclear weapons to Celestials...

Is just so-so.

But if a Celestial expressly asks to have nuclear bombs launched at them...

"What was the final situation..."

"It failed."

Pain flashed in Xie Yi'er's eyes: "But at the last moment, my second grandfather failed, the fear instinctive to life allowed the Rebirth Society's Moon Demon to take advantage, controlling him in the final moments, ultimately... he avoided the core point of the nuclear blast... He might have been seriously injured, but he definitely did not die."

"Didn't die..."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized the severity of the problem.

The Rebirth Society has a stronger system of cultivation.

If that powerful entity from the Moon Demon Empire could forcibly take over Xie Boen, a high-rank Celestial, how strong must that entity itself be!?

The Divine Path's Ninth Layers might not even be enough!

Eight or nine out of ten...

They are akin to existences that have established a Dao Foundation.

With an extraordinary realm and now possessing a body of Celestial Level...

Once this monster recovers, who in the world would be able to stand against him?

No wonder that in the past month or so, the Snow Dragon Empire has been acting like a madman, rounding up forces from the Rebirth Society, continuously dropping nuclear bombs on their territories.

"During this time, we have been tracking that fiend's whereabouts, not giving him any chance to breathe... but not long ago, he disappeared."

Xie Yi'er spoke with a heavy tone: "We've lost track of him."

"Given the immense danger that the Rebirth Society's monster could bring, the first you should have sought to ally with is the Red Star, not the Salvation Union..."

Alkaid expressed the doubt in his heart.

"It's not the same, the Red Star Jiang Family... only thinks about returning to the Artifact Sect, they wouldn't go all out against the Rebirth Society if they knew this message, they'd even take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune before leaving, but you're different..."

Xie Yi'er looked at Alkaid: "You are the Rebirth Society's top target on their internal wanted list."
