Fifty-three seconds!Fifty-two seconds!Fifty-one seconds!...
The countdown on the enchanted bomb kept ticking relentlessly.Time to zero was fast approaching!
Once it hit zero, the detonation would annihilate every monster lurking in the underground cavern. The sheer destructive energy—its violent heat and radiation—would rival that of a Jericho missile.
Its power was enough to flatten the Midtown Financial Tower!
Of course, the enchanted bomb wouldn't destroy the dimensional rift. On the contrary—it would further tear apart the dimensional barriers, making it even easier for higher demons to descend into the human world.
Such as those resilient, low-tier fiends that refused to die easily.
A mournful, wailing chorus echoed through the abyss—the Vanguard of Hell had once again sounded the trumpet of war.
The scene unfolded in an otherworldly space, dimly lit and filled with burning pyres.It looked like a kingdom of the dead—a world belonging only to souls long gone.
No trace of green.Only corpses as far as the eye could see, piled into towering mounds—"jingguan"—ancient monuments built by stacking the heads of slain enemies, like grim pyramids.
But these were not built from brick or stone—their bases were forged from the bones of Hell's monsters.
Atop the largest mound sat a black throne with a metallic sheen,its surface covered in barbs and spikes, as if forged from thousands of molten blades.
Merely sitting upon it would tear the flesh.This was Blackheart's "Dragon Throne", modeled after Satan's seat of power—a symbol of absolute dominion.
From that throne, he gazed down upon his vast hellish realm:Rivers of thick, bubbling blood…Infernal volcanoes spewing molten fire…Acid rain falling endlessly from a sky that had never known sunlight.
No light.No hope.Only eternal darkness, untouched by rebirth.
"My Hell shall soon expand once more,"Blackheart growled, his deep voice echoing like thunder."Reality itself will become part of my dominion."
His body was plated with black, armor-like scales.Hair like quills hung to his waist,and his crimson eyes burned like twin spotlights of malice.
This was Blackheart—the son of Mephisto,inheriting many of his father's infernal powers.
He was immune to the Eye of Judgment that scorched souls,possessed a near-immortal body,and could ignore most exorcisms or holy relics.
Even the sacred relics kept by the Vatican had little effect on him.
"Lord Blackheart,"a trembling necromancer reported,"there seems to be a group of mages in the outside world... and even the presence of a high-ranking demon."
A high-ranking demon?Someone dared to enter the mortal realm before him?!
Blackheart's rage ignited instantly.
"My lord,"the undead mage continued obsequiously,"the dimensional rift is growing stronger. Soon we shall cross over and help you unify all of Hell!"
Unify Hell...Even Mephisto himself had never achieved such a feat.
Hell and Heaven were two sides of the same coin—light and darkness, destined to coexist.
If one Hell were destroyed or consumed by another,the balance of creation would simply generate a new Hell to take its place.Thus, the infernal realms formed a layered, infinite labyrinth of dimensions,stacked like concentric rings without end.
Midtown Financial Tower — Underground Cavern
Beep. Beep.
The red digits on the enchanted bomb flickered rapidly—
Fifty seconds.Forty-nine.Forty-eight...
"Mr. Lopez!" the archaeologist screamed,"We have to subdue the Demon Emperor before it's too late!"
"Careful!""Don't step on the only relic left by the Divine Warrior!"
Jackie Chan's uncle—the old man—snapped, quickly lifting an ancient, Eastern-style suit of armor from the ground.
It gleamed a deep sapphire blue, carved with mystical runes and hollow engravings,forged from the same metal as the Pan'ku Box.
A complete, full-body set—armor worthy of the gods.
It was said to have belonged to the Divine Warrior,and was known as the Armor of the Gods.
The archaeologist had discovered it by chance at an ancient monastery in Shandong,and had immediately contacted the Dragon Warrior to decide how to preserve it.
But Jackie had never imagined that, upon returning to the New York Sanctum,he'd find himself caught in the midst of a demonic invasion!
Legions of monsters poured through the dimensional rift—a sight so unreal that even Jackie Chan, the lifelong skeptic,could hardly believe that Hell itself truly existed.
"Lopez," a cold, mocking voice boomed,"how long has it been? You haven't improved at all...and yet I've already gathered seven talismans!"
A towering demon with dragon horns and a body like molten muscle sneered down,his voice dripping with malice.
Ox. Rabbit. Snake. Monkey. Rooster. Dog. Pig.Seven talismans already embedded within his flesh—the Shendu, the Fire Demon Emperor,had regained most of his ancient might, nearly reaching the rank of a Demi-Father God.
He was but a step away from the power of a true Celestial Father.
On Earth, there were distinctions even among the Heavenly Fathers—Lower, Middle, Upper, and finally the Omnipotent.
Only three beings on Earth held that ultimate rank:
Odin Borson, Lord of Asgard, wielder of the Runes and King of the Nine Realms.
Zeus, the Sky and Thunder God, ruler of Olympus and master of all mortal fates.
And the last—the Jade Emperor, sovereign of Heaven and Earth,the Great Ruler who governed the Three Realms and all under Heaven.
Though all were "omnipotent" in title, their true strength still differed greatly.
"Chaos Magic... and the Phoenix Force?""What kind of spellcraft did you use to bewitch those two mighty women?"
Lopez, clad in his traditional Taoist robes, gaped in disbelief, his voice rising sharply like an angry eunuch.
His chest trembled with suppressed fury.Chaos Magic and the Phoenix Force—two powers of equal, godlike rank.
The Phoenix represented rebirth and cleansing flame—the passion of the multiverse itself, able to burn away all corruption.
Chaos Magic, by contrast, was the force that bent rules and rewrote reality,the very antithesis of order.
Two opposing powers—yet now they had formed an alliance under the Fire Demon Emperor.
"The Horse Talisman?!"Lopez's eyes widened."Don't think you can gather them all, you tyrant!"
Hummmm!
A surge of radiant, divine energy filled the cavern.Scrolls inscribed with ancient Chinese runes floated into the air,projecting beams of pure light in all directions.
Lopez had heard of Chaos Magic and the Phoenix Force before—and though those two foreign women wielding them were powerful,they were far from god-tier beings.They were likely only senior mages at best.
But Shendu...The true mastermind behind this invasion—since when had he mastered the Runic Magic of Asgard?!
"The same trick won't work on me twice, Lopez!!"
A deafening dragon's roar erupted.The sound was tangible—like a tidal wave of pure dominance,rattling the very foundations of the world.
Even Hell itself quaked in response.
Such overwhelming will—the Conqueror's Haki of kings.
Even Blackheart himself, from his infernal throne, paused and frowned.
"A high-ranking demon outside the rift... related to dragons?"he murmured darkly."Could it be... a descendant of that supreme being of the Demon Realm?"
