Chapter 692
Kill through!
Ao Qing, late stage of Demon Lord.
Among the demon lords of the demon race, they are all extremely powerful beings.
His strength was in no way inferior to that of the Burning Heaven Ancestor at that time.
Even more than that.
Such a person personally intervened to capture and kill Jiang Shu.
“Since the start of the great war, all the sects have been unable to spare any manpower. The other seven sects will naturally not go to fight against a late-stage Demon Lord for your sake.”
Taiwu Daozun spoke.
“Only our True Martial Sect can handle this matter. However, I think that if you have gained some insights after your seclusion, fighting Ao Qing will be a good opportunity to hone yourself and further solidify your mid-stage Chaos Realm.”
The eyesight of the Great Daoist Master Taiwu is incredibly accurate.
He knew that Jiang Shu's cultivation path always involved fighting across borders.
Although he is only at the mid-stage of the Chaotic Realm, his foundation is quite formidable. In a battle against Ao Qing, he may not be able to defeat him, but he can at least protect himself.
Therefore, keeping Ao Qing as a whetstone is just right.
Otherwise, given how much he valued Jiang Shu, he would have sent out his clone long ago, let alone his main body.
"Ao Qing?"
Jiang Shu's eyes lit up.
He naturally knew who Ao Qing was from the records of the Zhenwu Sect.
Not to mention, by devouring Golden Horn's soul, he could clearly know the existence of Ao Qing from Golden Horn's soul memories.
In the Golden Horn lineage, Ao Qing is undoubtedly the patriarch, whose cultivation level has almost reached the point where it cannot be improved any further.
However, this also shows that Ao Qing's potential has reached its limit.
Ultimately, he was just one level below the Sect Master.
Only in the later stages of the Demon Lord realm.
Unlike some of the most powerful beings, who can enter the realm of Dao Lord or Demon Lord simply by being willing.
Ao Qing's level of skill makes him his best opponent at this stage.
Fighting is always the best way to test what you've learned.
The monotonous practice during seclusion will inevitably leave some aspects unfinished.
If Jiang Shu could fight Ao Qing, he would have a clearer view of the road ahead, and might even be able to advance to the late stage of the Chaos Realm in a very short time.
Jiang Shu bowed to the Supreme Daoist Master Taiwu. This time, the Supreme Daoist Master Taiwu did not reveal any trump cards or tricks to Jiang Shu.
At Jiang Shu's level, apart from an old monster of his own level taking action, ordinary demon lords, even those in the late stage of demon lord, would have no chance to stop Jiang Shu.
As for the Demon Lord, such an existence belongs to the strategic level.
Every move you make results in self-destruction.
In their view, their own path is far more important than that of a younger generation.
Even though Jiang Shu is now such a prodigy, in the eyes of the Demon Lord, he is nothing but an ant.
If things really turn out this way, it's not too late to take action to suppress them.
"Then I'll see you off."
Seeing the fighting spirit surging in Jiang Shu's eyes, Taiwu Daozun knew that Jiang Shu was eager to fight.
Smiling, he raised his hand and pointed slightly forward, the movement so subtle it was as if he were sweeping away dust.
Instantly, a vast amount of spatial power surged forth, tearing the sky apart and then piercing through it.
If this strike were to land on the enemy's body, even an ordinary Venerable would likely be torn to shreds.
Light is a spatial passage that can be opened up at will.
These kinds of methods are beyond Jiang Shu's current reach.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Jiang Shu immediately nodded, eager to try it out. He also wanted to have a fight and see how much his strength had increased after absorbing the remaining power of the Eastern Demon Lord's half dragon horn.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Shu stepped into the spatial passage created by Taiwu Daozun, and also activated the Great Dao of Space. The surroundings changed rapidly, like floating light and shadow.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared on the battlefield.
Human cultivators and powerful demons fought each other.
Amidst the pervasive demonic aura, streaks of magical artifact light roared forth.
This was a complete free-for-all!
Compared to the demon lords who rarely participated in the early stages of the battle, at this moment, Jiang Shu could see several demon lords unleashing the power of the Great Dao and wreaking havoc across the entire battlefield.
Some cultivators who were only at the Nirvana Realm couldn't avoid it and were directly beaten until their limbs were broken.
And all of this is a good ending.
Because once you reach the Nirvana Realm, as long as you have enough resources, even severed limbs can be restored.
It's even possible to achieve rebirth from a drop of blood, but it would take an extremely long time to restore one's entire cultivation level.
The most tragic were those whose essence blood, or even their souls, were completely obliterated by the power of the Great Dao.
A true death!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
A powerful demon roared, and with each roar, mountains and rivers erupted, turning into ruins.
"die!"
Human cultivators were no exception, with streams of Yuan energy surging within their bodies. Unfortunately, this was the battlefield of the demon race, and their combat strength was slightly weaker than it had been in the vast Cangmang Domain.
Therefore, even at this time, the cultivation level of human cultivators was slightly higher than that of demon cultivators.
However, they were still evenly matched with the demon race.
"With the Demon Lord here today, you lowly humans are doomed!"
A demon in the Transformation Realm was killed by a Nirvana Realm disciple of the Dao Yi Sect, leaving only its head. However, it roared as if it could already see the death of the cultivator in front of it!
Once the Demon Lord makes his move, all the humans here will cease to exist!
The Demon Lord is someone who has mastered the Great Dao of Space.
A confined space; no one can escape from here!
Jiang Shu took in all the battle scenes on the battlefield.
With Jiang Shu's current cultivation level, he sensed the aura of a demon lord as soon as he stepped out of the passage.
"I never expected that the first opponent I would encounter would be your clan."
Jiang Shu grinned. He knew, of course, that he couldn't fight Ao Qing right away.
Perfect, let's warm up first.
Jiang Shu took a step forward without any hesitation.
Without hesitation, he released his aura, majestic and righteous, shaking the world for thousands of miles!
Almost instantly, the entire venue fell silent, with countless eyes turning to Jiang Shu.
There was both surprise and fear in it.
However, the majority of the gazes were still those of the human cultivators, filled with ecstatic joy and reverence.
"It's...it's the Supreme Daoist Master Tai Xuan!?"
Someone shouted, and in an instant, the somewhat waning aura of the human battlefield suddenly surged.
Some of them naturally heard the great demon's words and thought that a demon lord might actually be about to make a move in this battle.
But now that the Supreme Daoist has arrived, that so-called Demon Lord will be slain!
It should be noted that not long ago, the peerless genius Golden Horn, who caused quite a stir among the demon race, fought against the Supreme Daoist Venerable Tai Xuan after becoming a newly promoted demon lord.
The legendary ancestral dragon bloodline advanced from Demon Lord to Demon Venerable in an extremely short period of time.
Even so, under the hands of Tai Xuan Dao Zun, he was still beaten to the point of being unable to tell whether he was alive or dead!
If it weren't for the intervention of a late-stage Demon Lord, he would have been killed on the spot!
In this world, top experts have an indispensable influence on the battlefield; in other words, they are the key to determining the entire battle!
As soon as Jiang Shu appeared, he raised his right hand and suddenly made a grabbing motion in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the entire sky seemed to be enveloped in amber, frozen in a deathly silence.
Many powerful figures from both the human and demon races looked up and noticed that a slight ripple had suddenly appeared in the sky!
"Why don't you get out of here?"
Jiang Shu sneered and suddenly raised his hand to grab, and then a figure appeared out of thin air in the sky, as if it were a giant fish that had been pulled out of the void!
"Jiang Shu!" A shrill voice suddenly rang out.
In the void, the figure finally appeared—it was a Kunpeng!
But in just a moment, the Kunpeng seemed to fall into the water, its massive body not even causing a ripple, before disappearing back into the void.
Upon seeing Jiang Shu make his move, he immediately unleashed a secret technique of his clan, using the power of the Great Dao to conceal himself in the void.
Jiang Shu is too powerful.
The higher the level of a demon lord, the more they know how powerful Jiang Shu is.
It can be said that, in their eyes, Jiang Shu is only a newly promoted Chaotic Realm Dao Venerable.
However, his combat strength has even surpassed that of most mid-stage Demon Lords.
Not to mention, it's been a long time since Jiang Shu's last battle with Jin Jiao.
Half a year has already passed.
Who knows, will Jiang Shu, that monster, take another step forward!
Seeing that the demon lord of the Kunpeng clan didn't even have the intention to make a move, he directly vanished into the void.
Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow.
In the past, he would have needed to employ various methods to find his place among the Kunpeng demon clan.
After all, the Kunpeng clan is naturally in harmony with the Great Dao of Space.
Not to mention, this demon lord seems to be even more adept at concealment.
but now……
Jiang Shu's gaze was intense, as if a sun and moon were rising within it.
Not to mention that he has now improved his realm and has a completely new understanding of the Great Dao of Space.
Even comparing it to the incredible spatial techniques of the Taiwu Daozun when they came here, it's clear that the Kunpeng Clan's spatial manipulation has significant flaws.
"Indeed, from a high vantage point one can see a distance of a thousand miles."
With a thought, Jiang Shu transformed his divine sense into countless fine threads, directly merging into the gaps between the nine heavens and ten earths to search for the location of the Kunpeng.
In a battlefield below, three Nirvana Realm disciples, wielding magical artifacts, simultaneously attacked a golden bull demon.
The pure-blooded bull demon in the Transformation Realm strode forward with its head held high, its body seemingly forged from refined iron, forcefully bearing the three treasures and overwhelming its enemies with its own physical strength.
Just as the four were locked in fierce combat, a barely perceptible fluctuation suddenly appeared in the space.
"Oh, here it is."
"Still hiding?"
Jiang Shu suddenly turned his head, his pupils contracting as if he were locking onto everything in front of him.
In an instant, the pure-blooded bull demon's entire body seemed to be frozen in place.
The other three cultivators were overjoyed and unleashed their full power, holding nothing back.
Such a minor battle was of no concern to Jiang Shu.
His eyes seemed to see through the void and into the deepest part of the Kunpeng Clan Demon Lord!
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Shu suddenly turned around and blasted towards the northeast.
Panwu's Heaven-Opening Axe!
Jiang Shu took a step forward, his slender body bursting forth with power like a whip, shattering the heavens and earth and twisting everything!
The earth-shattering blow was so domineering and fierce that it shattered space itself!
In an instant, a giant fish suddenly swung its tail from the void.
At the same time, the giant fish transformed and took flight!
Kunpeng!
"boom!"
The two sides exchanged blows, and Jiang Shu not only did not retreat, but even took another step forward.
However, the Kunpeng Clan demon lord who revealed his true form was sent flying backward, and countless cracks appeared on his body, with countless drops of bright red blood dripping down.
"Jiang Shu!"
The voice of the Kunpeng Clan Demon Lord grew increasingly mournful; he had already overestimated Jiang Shu to the extreme.
But only when you actually fight him will you realize how terrifying Jiang Shu is.
He had already hidden himself so mysteriously.
His own cultivation level has also advanced to the mid-stage of Demon Lord.
Even some late-stage Demon Lords might not be able to locate him in a short time.
How could Jiang Shu see through it so easily?
Moreover, this casual strike was comparable to the power of his full-force attack.
Just what realm is this Supreme Daoist Master Tai Xuan at now?
Could it be that he got promoted again?
No way, it can be that fast!
This is the Chaos Realm!
Many Dao Venerables have cultivated in this realm for a hundred years without making any progress!
The voice of the Kunpeng Clan Demon Lord trembled slightly, and his eyes held an indescribable panic.
He dared not think any further.
At the level of a Demon Lord, who would willingly die?
Regardless of victory or defeat in the great war, as long as the Demon Realm and the Demon Race exist, he will always be a hegemon.
She would never want to die at Jiang Shu's hands.
He wanted to escape, but... it was too late.
Jiang Shu sneered, locked onto the Kunpeng, and declared:
"Since you're here, stay here and don't leave!"
The figure of the Kunpeng Clan Demon Lord flickered in the instant before him.
Countless wings and shadows shot towards them from the void.
On each wing of light and shadow, the power of the Great Dao was running rampant.
If an ordinary Dao Lord at the Myriad Manifestations Realm were struck by one of these arrows, they would be crippled even if they didn't die.
But in Jiang Shu's eyes, such methods were not worth mentioning.
Jiang Shu threw a punch.
Its power encompasses all things!
One after another, great paths emerged from this punch, countless rays of light emanated from it, and the entire world seemed to be annihilated within this punch.
This move was originally just a Heaven-rank divine ability, but in Jiang Shu's hands, it was transformed into his innate Dao technique.
With a single punch, the Great Dao unfolds.
A terrifying sound echoed for thousands of miles.
Instantly, some human cultivators and demon kings who were originally fighting stopped fighting and retreated rapidly.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
They were all afraid of being affected by the battle between the Dao Venerable and the Demon Venerable. At this level of combat, even just some spatial aftershocks could kill them!
"escape!"
"Jiang Shu is here! Run!"
"Run."
On the demon race's side, not to mention ordinary transformed demons, even demon lords were using every means to escape.
Staying here any longer will surely mean certain death.
The reason they didn't run away immediately was that they were waiting for the Demon Lord to make a move and see who would win the battle against Jiang Shu.
But now, seeing their own side's Demon Lords, who have all advanced to the mid-stage of Demon Lord, hiding in all directions.
We already know the outcome of this battle!
In an instant, the terror of Jiang Shu resurfaced in their minds.
Run! (End of Chapter)
