Chapter 457
Prepare to advance to the Myriad Realm!
A drop of cold sweat suddenly dripped from the temple of His Majesty Tianlong.
Facing Jiang Shu's deep gaze at this moment, the arrogance and unruly aura that he had originally emanated from completely dissipated, and was replaced by deep fear and horror.
Now seeing that the prototype of the Avenue of Sacrifice had stepped into the brief realm of all things, Elder Wu of the Demon Sect was no match for Jiang Shu, and was even killed by the latter. Such a shocking scene undoubtedly left a deep shadow on the arrogant His Majesty Tianlong.
The Taoist Lord of the Myriad Things Realm is a being that is truly high up in the clouds. Even though he is only a thin line away from the peak of the Nirvana Realm, this thin line has caused countless cultivators throughout history to be trapped here for their entire lives, unable to make any progress.
And once you successfully take this step, your strength will undergo a tremendous change.
In the eyes of the Taoist Master of the Wanxiang Realm, no matter how astonishing the strength of the True Master of the Nirvana Realm is, he is just a slightly stronger ant and can be destroyed with a flip of the hand!
This is the consensus among countless monks.
However, now Jiang Shu, with his own strength, has completely overturned the cognition of all the demon clan members present!
At this moment, even His Majesty Tianlong's perfect Dao heart began to crack and develop into cracks.
Even if he could survive today, if he could not get rid of his fear and dread of Jiang Shu in the future, Jiang Shu would become the inner demon of his life. Even if he was promoted to the Demon King realm later, he would not be able to exert his peak combat power in front of Jiang Shu!
However, even though he was filled with fear at this moment and wanted to escape from here quickly, his body seemed to have become completely stiff as Jiang Shu's aura was locking onto him from afar. He could only hold his breath and it was quite difficult for him to even take a step.
In the inheritance hall, all the true disciples of the Demon Sect had already fled far away with Qiu Taoguang and started a mad escape, scrambling for the first place, fearing that they would be killed here if they were not careful. Their miserable appearance was obvious.
Even the two princes of the demon clan quickly fled. In the entire hall, in the blink of an eye, only Prince Tianlong and the two commanders who had been following him were left.
The two commanders also wanted to escape, but seeing that His Highness Tianlong did not move, they did not dare to abandon him and run away alone.
Because once something unexpected happens to His Majesty Tianlong in the ruins of the ancient demon sect, even if they return to the demon clan, they will inevitably face life and death punishment, unless they can be promoted to the demon king realm in these ruins.
But this... is it possible?
Seeing the chill quietly spreading in Jiang Shu's deep eyes and the Yuanli surging around his body, the two demon leaders looked at each other, and the aura at the peak of the Transformation Realm surged like crazy. At the same time, the demon leaders' bodies erupted with extremely powerful demonic power, and they resolutely launched a fierce attack on Jiang Shu in the sky!
They must fight for a chance of survival for His Majesty Tianlong's escape!
"Your Highness, let's go!"
The sound was shrill, and the two demon leaders revealed their true forms, roaring and rushing towards Jiang Shu.
Behind them, a hint of ruthlessness and determination instantly emerged in His Highness Tianlong's eyes. He immediately mobilized the tremendous demonic power in his body, turned around and fled frantically!
At this moment, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, even if he had to escape, even if it cost him a huge price, as long as he was alive, there would always be a chance!
In mid-air, the pupils reflected two bloody mouths. Jiang Shu's body did not move at all, but he just pressed his palm downwards casually!
The Yuan force gathered, the outline of the Great Dao rose, and the Five Emperors' Annihilation Seal that covered the sky and the sun condensed in an instant, carrying with it a destructive wave, suppressing heavily downwards!
"boom!"
The desperate offensive launched by the demon clan leader exploded and shattered the moment it touched the Five Emperors' Annihilation Seal, and was completely wiped out. It couldn't even last half a breath!
The endless and powerful Yuan force was like a raging storm, which directly engulfed the two demon leaders and caused two balls of blood mist to explode.
The remaining dead bodies of the monsters suddenly fell from the air, smashed heavily onto the ground around them, and were deeply embedded in it.
The soul and part of the flesh and blood in his body were devoured by Jiang Shu using his magical powers in an instant and transformed into his own energy.
Looking up at the panicked figure in front of him who had not yet escaped far, Jiang Shu took a step forward, and in front of him, layers of spatial fluctuations immediately dissipated in their original places. These demon leaders, at most, devoured some flesh and souls, and would not substantially improve his strength.
But His Highness Tianlong is different. One of the great ways that His Highness Tianlong comprehended is the Great Way of Change. If he could refine and devour it, the prototype of his own Great Way of Change could be taken a step further.
Even some of the embryonic forms of the great ways that he had comprehended before would be improved, and the possibility of being promoted to the realm of all things would increase from nine great ways to more than nine!
Of course, this is all later. The most important thing now is to capture and kill His Majesty Tianlong again.
"call out!"
In the inheritance building, His Highness Tianlong was now only concerned with escaping madly. Just as he was about to step out of the building, the huge, heavy bronze door that was glowing with light was already within reach.
However, before he could feel the slightest bit of relief, an extreme sense of threat suddenly surged in his heart, causing his expression to change drastically in an instant!
hum!
Ripples appeared in the void, and deep space cracks were torn open. Jiang Shu stepped out from it and blocked His Majesty Tianlong's only escape route exactly.
"Jiang Shu! If you dare to kill me, my demon king will never let you go!"
Seeing that Jiang Shu was actually faster than him, His Highness Tianlong's eyes widened, his mind was shaken, and his body that was rushing forward suddenly stopped, and he immediately shouted loudly,
"Jiang Shu! If you let me go today, after I return to my clan, I will advise our elders that our Tianlong clan will not attack your Zhenwu Sect! If you don't consider yourself, you should consider the Zhenwu Sect!"
However, Jiang Shu was not moved at all after hearing his threatening words.
The war between humans and demons was inherently irreconcilable.
Not to mention His Majesty Tianlong who is in the Transformation Realm.
Even the Demon King cannot do this.
Raising his hand forward, Jiang Shu pointed a finger directly!
boom!
Inside the inheritance building, a roar suddenly resounded, and the power of the embryonic forms of the nine avenues surged out!
"Jiang Shu! You!"
Upon seeing this, His Majesty Tianlong was horrified and quickly activated the demonic power in his body. The phantom of a Tianlong appeared behind him and fought back with all his might!
However, all his struggles at this moment were in vain when facing Jiang Shu.
Just a breather.
As the vast handprint slammed down from the sky, the extraordinary and powerful shadow of the dragon suddenly let out a shrill wail and was blasted to pieces by this palm!
The figure of His Majesty Tianlong was also impacted by the huge force. His aura exploded, blood spurted out of his mouth, and he was thrown out heavily.
"Whoosh..."
His Highness Tianlong was panting heavily, his eyes were bloodshot. When he tried to get up, the serious injuries in his body caused waves of severe pain, causing his whole body to tremble uncontrollably.
His long hair was disheveled, and large patches of glaring blood stained his already torn clothes. If anyone else was here, seeing his miserable appearance, they would never associate him with the high and mighty Third Prince of the Demon Clan. Before he could suppress his injuries and stand up, Jiang Shu slapped him again, with chaotic spiritual light flowing in his palm, and his five fingers suddenly clenched!
Buzz!
The power of the embryonic form of the Great Dao surged, and rays of spiritual light intertwined into lines, constantly changing, and vaguely formed a prison, completely sealing the seriously injured and dying His Majesty Tianlong inside, and at the same time, blocking all his roars mixed with weakness and unwillingness.
Inside the empty inheritance building, the riotous energy finally calmed down and returned to silence once again.
The only thing left was the residual smell of blood that permeated the cold air, lingering for a long time.
"Ta...ta...ta..."
Drops of blood dripped onto the ground. Jiang Shu grabbed His Highness Tianlong with one hand, like a dead dog, and passed through the long and narrow corridor of the Avenue of Change and returned to the upper floor of the inheritance building.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Jiang Shu closed his eyes slightly, flipped the seals in his hands, and practiced the exercises to regulate his breathing.
In this battle, he faced Elder Wu of the Demon Sect who had forcefully broken through to the Myriad Realm. Although he won successfully, he also consumed a lot of energy.
However, compared to the last time he fought with the Soul-Devouring Old Man of the Demon Sect's Wanxiang Realm Daojun, he has undoubtedly made great progress.
Back then, when he was under the control of the soul-eating old man, he had to use all his means to finally win by a narrow margin.
It must be said that such a substantial improvement in combat power was due to his successful integration of the prototype of the great way that he had condensed and perfected and his magical powers.
"call……"
About half an hour later, Jiang Shu let out a long breath, and the seal in his hand dissipated. He slowly opened his eyes, with a divine light deep in his eyes, and his breath returned to normal.
At this moment, ripples were appearing on the spiritual prison not far away, and fluctuations of power were constantly spreading out from it.
Obviously, His Majesty Tianlong is fighting desperately.
But it's all in vain!
Jiang Shu's eyes opened briefly and then began to close again, but this time, the prototypes of the nine avenues appeared beside him again. The rest of the prototypes of the avenues were added to the prototype of the swallowed avenue. He wanted to completely refine His Highness Tianlong, who had also cultivated the prototypes of the nine avenues, in this inheritance building!
"The prototype of the Great Way of Change... The prototype of the Great Way of Yin and Yang... The prototype of the Great Way of Blood and Soul... The prototype of the Great Way of Slaughter... The prototype of the Great Way of Self-Defense..."
Sensing His Majesty Tianlong trapped in the prison, Jiang Shu's aura became more and more powerful. Even His Majesty Tianlong in his prime was no match for him. What's more, at this moment, His Majesty Tianlong had been beaten almost to death. What could a brief burst of burning blood and essence do?
The powerful force of the Great Dao that devours everything in heaven and earth erupted in this space.
The noise coming from the prison cell suddenly became more and more violent, and the whistling demonic power continued to surge, causing the spiritual light prison to vibrate continuously.
Jiang Shu was certainly not surprised at all about His Majesty Tianlong's dying struggle at this moment. His face was as calm as water, and he only concentrated on activating the power of Devouring Avenue, continuously sending the vast amount of Yuanli in his body into the prototype of Devouring Avenue.
As time passed, the devouring power on the surface of the spiritual light prison surged endlessly, and the resistance inside inevitably weakened. Through the layers of light screens, one could vaguely see the figure trapped inside gradually being refined by the power of the avenue, becoming more and more illusory, and could only utter silent roars of despair and unwillingness.
At this moment, countless extremely solid forces of the embryonic forms of the Great Dao were drawn out from the prison, transforming into chaotic spiritual lights, all converging towards Jiang Shu who was sitting cross-legged.
Jiang Shu kept making seals in his hands, like a whale sucking water, and absorbed this extremely pure power of the Great Dao into his body. The outlines of the nine Great Daos emerged around his body, and a majestic aura rose into the sky!
With the blessing of His Majesty Tianlong's nine prototypes of the perfect avenue, he could sense very clearly that the original power of the nine prototypes of the perfect avenue in his body was slowly growing and getting closer to the perfect state.
Especially, the avenue of change that has not yet been fully completed and stabilized!
Waves of mysterious fluctuations quietly spread out, and on the prototype of the avenue of change, chaotic luster surged out like a tide, covering the entire empty palace.
At the same time, the thirty-three murals on the four mysterious walls, affected by the spreading power of the Avenue of Change, seemed to come alive, humming and suddenly emitting a bright light, surging and changing, extraordinary and magical.
Before the embryonic form of the Great Dao of Change with the aura rising around Jiang Shu, the power of the Great Dao on the mural seemed to condense into substance, and the origin of the Great Dao within it also emerged one by one.
Each mural was so clear that it seemed as if they were engraved in Jiang Shu's mind, and it seemed as if every stroke was witnessed personally!
Jiang Shu sat there with a dull figure. At this moment, he had stopped devouring His Majesty Tianlong, whose soul had been pulled out of his demon body. Instead, he focused his mind and immersed himself in a state of enlightenment.
Layers of floating lights flowed and flickered around him, and a mysterious and profound aura slowly penetrated his body and lingered in the empty hall.
The twentieth mural...
The twenty-fifth picture...
Twenty-seventh...
Twenty-ninth picture...
The murals that originally required months or even years to comprehend can now be comprehended in just a breath, a blink of an eye, or a moment!
The comprehension of the prototype of the avenue of change has almost reached its peak!
One day...
Two days...
Until ten days later!
I saw the light on the 32nd mural suddenly shine brightly!
Jiang Shu's sitting body suddenly trembled and his eyes opened.
In front of him, on the prototype of the Avenue of Change, countless avenue powers surged and gathered, and the profound aura it exuded rose rapidly until it approached the peak!
The pressure surging around him also grew at the same time, becoming increasingly solid and heavy.
The thirty-three murals that had been silent in this heritage temple for who knows how many years were finally understood by him one by one at this moment. Now, only the last one is left!
Only this last picture is left and Jiang Shu will be able to condense and perfect the outline of the Avenue of Change!
Perhaps, in less than a month, he would be able to open the gates of the Nine Great Avenues, manifest the Nine Great Avenues, refine his soul and body with the Great Avenues, and completely ascend to the Myriad Realm! (End of this chapter)
