Chapter 434 - 447: This is Unscientific
"This key is the crucial element to unlocking Tongshen Mountain." The middle-aged man sighed, having guarded Tongshen Mountain for so long, it was finally time to welcome its new master.
"Is it simply a matter of relocating those who can be moved? What exactly is this external evil, and can it be defeated?" Mu Can had always thought that he would only face enemies from the Demon World and the Immortal World, but now it seemed that both were actually allies of the Mortal World.
After all, if the so-called external evil truly descends, no one can remain unaffected—those demons do not distinguish whether one is a Cultivator from the Mortal World or a Demon from the Demon World; in their eyes, all are nothing but food.
"Defeated? Do you think the strength of the Three Realms is enough to defeat the massive army of the external evil?" The middle-aged man’s face was full of bitterness.
If all the external demons could be defeated, they would not have fallen to such straits.
Previously, there had been an invasion by the external evil, and the Mortal World paid a heavy price.
"Are you saying that even though the external evil was held off by the full force of the Three Realms last time, a great sacrifice was made and we have not yet recovered?" Although Mu Can was somewhat prepared, hearing the true details from the middle-aged man still left him shocked.
Indeed, it was that battle launched by the leaders of the Three Realms against the external evil that had led to the fall of many top experts within the Three Realms. The leader of the Three Realms fell into a coma, and the others were almost completely bereft of their combat abilities and had to go into hiding.
Such was the price paid to drive the external evil out of the Three Realms and seal their leader in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.
"So the true nature of the events is really as we had guessed," Mu Can remarked to Wang Cai.
The two had speculated about the truth before, but when faced with the actual facts, the bitterness they felt was profound.
