Chapter 695
The Pursuit of the Burning Heaven Ancestor!
"Senior Ao Qing has discerning eyes."
Xuanhuang took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
He managed to stand up and said:
"I originally planned to stay in the Wilderness Ridge and be ready to take action at any time. But I never expected that Jiang Shu would suddenly appear. His cultivation level is definitely not just the early stage of the Chaos Realm."
"His understanding of the Great Dao of Space even surpasses mine."
"No, not only the Great Dao of Space, he also has some understanding of the Great Dao of Time."
"Even if I use all my strength, I am no match for him."
Before Xuanhuang could finish speaking, the Burning Heaven Ancestor in front of him suddenly let out a cold snort.
"If that kid Jiang Shu really advances to the mid-stage of the Chaos Realm and escapes back? You think you can do that?"
The fiery pupils of the Burning Heaven Ancestor were filled with disdain.
Among the demon race, he was the only one who had fought Jiang Shu multiple times.
Even now, he has never shaken off his suspicion that Jin Jiao is Jiang Shu.
If his suspicions are confirmed, Jiang Shu may indeed be able to advance to the mid-stage of the Chaos Realm by relying on the resources of the demon race.
However, this will increase Jiang Shu's combat strength once again.
In this desolate wilderness, how could anyone be a match for Jiang Shu, who is of the same realm?
Xuanhuang's heart tightened, and he quickly suppressed his anger.
If it were any other demon lords who questioned him, even those in the later stages of the demon lord realm, he would dare to refute them.
But the person before them was not merely a half-step demon lord.
More importantly, the Burning Heaven Ancestor was prone to moments of mental instability.
If he were to actually attack me, given his current level of skill and combat power, I would be utterly powerless to resist.
He could only continue to exhale and explain, "At that time, I had already sacrificed all the Great Daos on my body and added them all to the Devouring Dao. After devouring the attack that Jiang Shu was launching at me, I quickly fled."
"Perhaps Jiang Shu thought that this offensive would be enough to capture and kill me, so he focused more on the battlefield."
"I see……"
Before the Burning Heaven Ancestor could say anything more, Ao Qing frowned sharply and snorted.
"It seems that Jiang Shu gained many benefits from his battle with Jinjiao, otherwise, how could he have advanced so quickly? As for the Great Dao of Time..."
"Whether the benefits came from the human race or from the demon race is still unknown."
Ancestor Burning Heaven was not going to tolerate Ao Qing, and immediately spoke up, his gaze shifting as he looked at Ao Qing.
He didn't finish his sentence, but anyone could understand that he meant that Jinjiao was Jiang Shu.
This point is a slap in the face to Ao Qing.
You must know that Golden Horn is the hope of the Dragon Clan right now.
If Golden Horn really is Jiang Shu, it undoubtedly means that the Dragon Clan failed to see through Jiang Shu's disguise.
"Shut up!"
Ao Qing roared in fury, stomping his foot hard on the ground. The ground trembled slightly, and a violent wave surged up from underground, with lava churning.
"I have personally examined it. Golden Horn is Golden Horn. What do you mean by 'substituting one thing for another'? That's just nonsense! If you continue to speak rudely, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Ao Qing's gaze was icy, and his face was filled with rage.
"Afterwards, I will clarify this matter in front of many demon clan venerables!"
"Besides, I don't even consider you a half-crippled, half-step demon lord!"
"Humph!"
Fen Tian's expression was quite unpleasant, but he did not refute it.
He briefly clashed with Ao Qing while arguing with him.
Although it was only for a moment, at his level, he could naturally see Ao Qing's strength.
If a battle were to actually break out, he might have the upper hand, but more likely he would lose his composure and fall into a state of mental instability.
At that time, Ao Qing will only need to escape.
He was completely helpless.
Turning away from Ao Qing, Ancestor Fen Tian walked straight forward, then raised his hand to press down on Kunpeng Xuanhuang, and said:
"We are both of the Feathered Clan. Our Ancestor has come to heal your wounds. Let me take a look..."
Fen Tian closed his eyes, and the crimson spiritual light then mingled with the fine rain and merged into the body of the Kunpeng.
Compared to the methods of ordinary demon lords, the Burning Heaven Ancestor had mastered a portion of the Great Dao of Time.
Although this Great Way of Time is only in its rudimentary form, it already possesses a degree of the power of time.
Under the influence of the Great Dao, Xuanhuang's surface injuries were gradually healing.
This recovery is not a process of going from bad to good.
It's a kind of regression!
"Thank you very much, Ancestor."
Kunpeng Xuanhuang's eyes were filled with shock, and he suppressed his previous complaints about the Burning Heaven Ancestor.
Through this method, he experienced the difference in realm between himself and the Burning Heaven Ancestor.
However, unlike Xuanhuang's expression, the expression of the Burning Heaven Ancestor gradually darkened.
Surface injuries are easy to heal.
But this desolate wilderness has damaged the very foundation.
All his great paths have collapsed.
It's a miracle that we even made it here alive!
"Ancestor, how is Xuanhuang's injury?"
As the winged demon lords behind them exchanged glances, one of them stepped forward and came to inquire.
The one asking the question was none other than the demon lord of the Kunpeng clan.
Among the entire Kunpeng clan, Xuanhuang's combat strength is extremely strong. If they can turn the tide, the Kunpeng clan is naturally willing to pay a great price.
"roll!"
In the eyes of the Burning Heaven Ancestor, a mere demon lord is nothing more than an ant.
Why would I care?
In his view, the Kunpeng before him was beyond saving!
The injuries on Kunpeng were more than a hundred times worse than those on Jinjiao!
Golden Horn possesses the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, enjoys the strong support of the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan, and is also aided by the Myriad Spirits Forging Venerable Array, so its recovery is naturally rapid.
But this Kunpeng was only at the mid-stage of the Demon Lord realm, so how could the Kunpeng clan possibly devote the entire clan to its treatment?
Furthermore, with the Great Dao collapsing, the Xuanhuang realm may gradually decline to the level of a Demon Lord.
Shaking his head, the Burning Heaven Ancestor was about to withdraw his hand; he only needed to know about Jiang Shu's situation.
He didn't care about Xuanhuang's injuries.
However, in that very instant, his expression suddenly widened slightly.
wrong!
He suddenly looked down at Xuanhuang, his pupils contracted, and then he immediately stepped back.
Xuanhuang, who had just felt his injuries being suppressed, suddenly froze. His wings, body, head, and even the wounds all over his body suddenly opened up, as if a giant beast was about to awaken inside him.
"Ok?"
Although Ao Qing, who had been keeping a close eye on the Burning Heaven Ancestor, did not know why the Burning Heaven Ancestor had retreated, he subconsciously trusted the Burning Heaven Ancestor. His crimson-gold dragon eyes shifted, and then he suddenly stared at Xuan Huang, immediately uttering a single word: "Retreat."
Almost instantly, Xuanhuang's entire body exploded, his weakened bones scattered, and a tremendous, previously dormant power erupted from within him.
A deep, heart-wrenching roar resounded, and Xuanhuang seemed to be punctured like a balloon that had been inflated to its limit.
This is an injury inflicted by the Great Dao of Time!
It was deliberately hidden within Xuanhuang's body, waiting until this moment to erupt!
"Boom!" A violent roar echoed through the imperial palace.
Ancestor Burning Heaven placed his hands in a seal, and the Great Dao was added to the Great Dao of Time. A crimson rainbow streaked across the sky and suddenly fell, freezing the countless flesh and bones and solidifying time and space!
This is a time-space freeze that surpasses anything that Burning Heaven can achieve!
Although it was only for a moment, it completely locked in the impact of the Xuanhuang explosion.
You must know, this is the imperial palace.
If Xuanhuang were to self-destruct, it would destroy one of the palaces of the Imperial Palace.
Even someone as close as a half-step demon lord cannot escape blame!
Seeing this scene, Fen Tian and Ao Qing's expressions were not very good.
provocative!
An extreme provocation!
After a long silence, Ao Qing finally uttered a few words through gritted teeth.
"That kid seems to have made even greater progress after his battle with Golden Horn. This explosion not only bears traces of the Great Dao of Time, but also a deeper level of the Great Dao of Power. Even I, when I first entered the late stage of Demon Lord, never comprehended such a level of the Great Dao of Power!"
However, compared to his silence, Fen Tian's anger was even more frenzied.
His body was stained with blood, his face was filthy, and he looked like a demon. His eyes were fixed on the body, and his aura seemed somewhat frantic.
"Jiang Shu, I will definitely kill you!"
The sound of burning the heavens seemed to emanate from the deepest hell.
Jiang Shu's growth is really too fast.
Even with his repeated overestimation, this was still far beyond his imagination!
It should be understood that even countless late-stage Demon Lords may not have a certain understanding of the Great Dao of Time.
Jiang Shu, at most only at the mid-stage of the Chaos Realm, has actually managed to comprehend a rudimentary form of the Great Dao of Time.
If Jiang Shu is allowed to continue growing...
Even if he were at the half-step demon lord realm, Jiang Shu would catch up with him quickly.
Jiang Shu is too extraordinary.
We must go up the river and kill them!
Not only the Burning Heaven Ancestor, but Ao Qing's eyes were also filled with killing intent.
Although he had grasped a rudimentary understanding of the Great Dao of Time, he could only apply it to this extent.
In other words, Jiang Shu and he were almost on the same starting line in this respect.
Originally, he only wanted to avenge his descendant, Golden Horn, but now it seems that Jiang Shu's existence is completely beyond his comprehension.
In their fury, Fen Tian and Ao Qing's faces were filled with frost-like fear.
"call!"
Ancestor Burning Heaven tried his best to remain calm, but the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily. He turned to look at the few Feather Clan members and said, "That kid is still in the Wilderness Ridge?"
"This...this...I don't know, but I should still be here."
The Feather Clan Demon Lord had never seen such a scene before. He trembled and his whole body was shaking with cold.
At that time, if it weren't for Ancestor Burning Heaven's intervention...
They will all die in the explosion of the Xuanhuang.
The self-destruction of a mid-stage Demon Lord is incredibly powerful.
Even a demon lord will perish.
Not to mention, they were merely demon lords.
Still shaken, they were unable to answer the question posed by the Burning Heaven Ancestor about Jiang Shu's location.
After all, the real battle is between Xuanhuang.
They just met along the way.
"never mind."
Ancestor Burning Heaven shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. I'd rather take this person's life myself!"
"I chased him twice before, leaving him with nowhere to run, and today I will kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ancestor Burning Heaven turned to look at Ao Qing beside him and said, "Ao Qing, I will personally capture and kill this kid. You have no objections, right?"
He had originally been arguing with Ao Qing about who would make the first move.
But now it seems he has every reason to make the first move.
Kunpeng has a connection with their Phoenix Clan. This time, he could use the death of Xuanhuang of the Kunpeng Clan as an excuse to capture and kill Jiang Shu.
As for Ao Qing, if he remembered correctly, Jin Jiao was in seclusion at this time.
Ao Qing naturally wouldn't make a move easily.
Otherwise, they would have gone out to search for Jiang Shu's whereabouts long ago.
There would be no reason for him to argue in the imperial palace.
Sure enough, he finished speaking.
Ao Qing's eyes flashed with a deep killing intent, and then he spoke:
"Alright, you can make the first move. I still need to pass on the secrets of the Dragon Clan to Golden Horn. This is a critical time, so we cannot act rashly."
"Humph!"
"Rest assured, I will definitely be able to hang Jiang Shu's head in the Imperial Palace this time!"
"At that time, your clan's Golden Horn will also be officially exonerated."
Ancestor Burning Heaven sneered and stomped his foot on the ground, causing waves to surge up in the vast ocean of magma in the Imperial Palace.
A void gate engulfed in towering flames appeared before him. He took a step out, and in the next instant, the aura of a half-step demon lord erupted.
……
At the same time, near Zhenman City, Jiang Shu suddenly stopped and stepped into the void.
"I wonder if anyone accepted the gift I sent out."
He had already left a hidden trick on that Kunpeng. Although he had not comprehended the Great Dao of Time, he had still comprehended some techniques through the Great Dao of Time.
These methods can delay the onset of injuries.
If this demon lord of the Kunpeng clan really returns to his clan, he might kill another demon lord after his self-destruction.
Kunpeng?
snort!
This wasn't the first time Jiang Shu had fought like this; it was nothing to him.
"Alright, let's explore the surroundings next. The Sect Master's spatial passage leads here, so it's definitely not just about letting me resolve the Battle of Zhenman City."
"After all, Zhenman City belongs to the Dao Yi Sect, not my Zhenwu Sect."
Jiang Shu's thoughts spread out, sweeping across all directions, and soon he noticed a large number of demon race activities and a small number of traces of human mining in a corner.
This corner is located in a remote area of Wild Ridge.
There are different walkways on both sides, and even wooden houses built on the cliff.
Each ridge bears traces of mining activity, and in Jiangshu, one can even see half of the exposed core of the earth.
He slowly descended, surveying his surroundings. He didn't use his divine sense to investigate, but instead followed the path downwards, noticing numerous traces.
"It seems that quite a few demons came down from above and descended along the stone wall."
The underground was still unseen, but Jiang Shu's powerful divine sense could easily perceive every detail underground.
"This is getting interesting. The naked eye and divine sense shouldn't be able to detect it. It seems I'll have to use the power of the Great Dao..."
Sensing the surrounding space, Jiang Shu slightly raised his hand, then suddenly flipped it over, pressing it down like a large seal.
An invisible tremor immediately spread outwards, and the surrounding void suddenly cracked open, revealing a dense network of fissures like a spiderweb! (End of Chapter)
