Chapter 751
The Ownership of the Immortal Embryo
Only then did the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, far away, learn that Jiang Shu had actually obtained the Tongtian Jianmu, one of the three great divine trees!
"This child is indeed exceptionally lucky!"
"No wonder I couldn't kill it no matter how hard I tried!"
Ao Qing's voice was indignant.
To be honest, he really wants to take action now and join forces with the Heavenly Court Demon Lord to besiege Jiang Shu and even other human Dao Lords.
The current Heavenly Demon Lord would also be very willing to form an alliance with them.
But they simply can't do it now.
The reason is simple: the three demon lords are fighting too fiercely right now. They might be crushed by the combined shockwaves of the three forces if they even slightly cross the line.
Just like a small boat sailing in a storm, if it dares to move easily, it will surely be capsized by the waves.
At that time, many powerful human beings may not die, but they will definitely die!
Moreover, they had already exhausted too much of their resources before this, and the human race has eight major sects. Even if each sect only has one Dao Lord technique, they are not easy for them to kill.
After all, the power of the River of Time is gradually dissipating, and the Dragon and Phoenix clans have almost exhausted their trump cards.
Meanwhile, the three demon lords who were fighting in the distance were even less likely to spare any strength, as this would only lead to their defeat in the battle against the other two powerful figures.
This is something that all parties are clear about.
The situation is becoming increasingly tense.
Jiang Shu and many other powerful human warriors attracted the Five Decays Poison, which further accelerated the outbreak of the great war.
Even the Demon Lord had to go all out.
Although the long bridge was broken at the very beginning, it couldn't withstand the aftershocks of the Demon Lord's battle.
But the real significance is that it gives the poison of the five decays a direction to flow out. Even if the long strip breaks, it doesn't matter; the poison of the five decays will still wander in this void.
It will not disappear on its own in the short term.
The Heavenly Dao has already found the three demon lords with the help of Jiang Shu.
And all of this was created by Jiang Shu!
At this moment, both the Heavenly Demon Lord and the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm were staring at Jiang Shu with intense hatred, wishing they could tear him to pieces right now.
However, they couldn't do it!
We can only watch helplessly.
Jiang Shu grinned, and the human Dao Venerables beside him also burst into laughter.
Prior to this, the human race's Dao Venerables had always been led by the nose, partly because they lacked a deep understanding of the Myriad Gods Cave, and partly because their own Dao Lord was not in the Demon Realm.
Now, Jiang Shu has used his methods at a critical moment to plunge the situation into the most chaotic and worst possible state.
Regardless of which demon lord wins, it will inevitably be a Pyrrhic victory.
At that time, the main force in the battle will very likely fall from the level of Demon Lord to Demon Venerable.
Once this situation is reached, the human race elders, who have been conserving their energy and haven't made much of a move, have gained a significant advantage!
After all, the Heavenly Court demons and the demons of the Demon Realm had just fought to the death, using every means at their disposal.
"Now I understand why you're so hated by the demon race."
The leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect chuckled and said, "The main problem is that those demons probably wish they could just kill you."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior."
Jiang Shu smiled slightly, but didn't seem to care.
After glancing at the furious Heavenly Court and the Demon Realm, Jiang Shu composed himself. He was able to use the World Tree to isolate the interior and barely create a small alternate dimension.
The various Dao Venerables entered and forcibly maintained the Daoist temple, allowing this alternate dimension to struggle in the void for a longer time.
"What should we do next?"
At this moment, everyone began to suppress their smiles and discuss important matters.
"What you need now is not courageous advancement, nor departure, but to hide yourselves right now."
Jiang Shu immediately expressed his opinion and spoke up.
Although the current situation is very favorable to them, once one of the demon lords withdraws from the competition, hunting them down will be a piece of cake.
Therefore, the important thing next is to hide in the void and prevent the demon lord from discovering them.
Or rather, to make the demon lord realize that their costs have increased.
After this great battle, if the Demon Lord is defeated, he will retreat immediately and will not stay in the Heavenly Court ruins for long.
After all, the Heavenly Court ruins are permeated with the poison of the Five Decays, which will accelerate the assimilation of the Dao Lords.
"Our sect possesses the secret methods."
The leader of the Douxing Sect immediately spoke.
At this moment, there's no time to hide anything.
Jiang Shu, for example, has already unleashed the power of the Jianmu tree.
They brought plenty of treasures and trump cards with them this time.
Even after concealing their whereabouts, they will not lack the necessary resources.
With a wave of his hand, a pitch-black curtain appeared in his palm, adorned with countless stars, resembling a dark and desolate night.
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the Douxing Sect raised his hand and pointed, and the curtain suddenly rose up, enveloping the entire alternate dimension in a whoosh.
Everything seemed to fall into a deathly silence.
The sect leader of the Hidden Sword Sect exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the work of that Night Lord?"
"Not bad!"
The sect leader of Douxing Sect nodded slightly.
The Night Lord was a Dao Lord in the history of the Douxing Sect. After he attained Dao, he was different from other strongmen in the Douxing Sect. Wherever he went, he blocked out all starlight, shrouded in darkness, and his shadow was invisible. He was most skilled in stealth methods.
At this moment, this curtain is one of the treasures left behind when the Night Lord fell, and it can be said that once it is used, it will be one less.
In the distance, the demon lords were furious, wishing they could immediately drag Jiang Shu out and tear him to pieces.
At that very moment, the battle between the three demon lords had reached its climax.
A winner must be decided!
They were covered in wounds, but none of that mattered. For the Demon Lord, even if his physical body was destroyed, it didn't matter. He could simply put in some effort to rebuild it!
What is truly terrifying is that the assimilation of Heaven into oneself is impossible to remove. Instead, it requires the use of the immortal embryo, which necessitates abandoning everything and entering it with pure will.
No matter what kind of power or law it is, the physical body must not be tainted in the slightest!
At this moment, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor had no way out.
He had already fought many battles in ancient times, and if he hadn't forcibly relinquished his throne by severing his own life, he would likely have perished long ago. Now that he has awakened, if he cannot win and seize the immortal embryo, he will perish completely!
But these two demon lords in front of him, perhaps they can be dragged out any longer, but this is something he absolutely cannot tolerate!
"In that case, let's do it!"
A hint of madness suddenly appeared in the eyes of this Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor. He roared to the sky, and the aura of the Dao Lord, which was extremely vast, surged out. The power of time spread and echoed in all directions.
Time and the passage of time are everywhere; even in the void, there are traces of the great path of time.
This means that in the void, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor receives more assimilation from the Heavenly Dao.
But in general, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor, blessed by his own Great Dao, is slightly better than the two before him.
Moreover, his strength is far superior to that of the two before him, having already reached the end of the Great Dao and completely merged into it.
Sensing the Golden Crow Emperor's resoluteness, the two demon lords were immediately alarmed and began to protect themselves to avoid being dragged into hell.
Upon seeing this, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor transformed into human form.
He raised his hand and waved it, his sleeves unfurling to replace the entire void.
Then a ray of light suddenly shone, and the illusory river of time surged with waves.
In an instant, the entire void was shrouded in a hazy, clear light, because of the disordered speed and the reversal of time!
They've gone all out!
As time flowed on, two figures emerged.
That was none other than the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Clan and the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord.
Two figures floated and sank in the river of time, like afterimages, seemingly recording every moment and every second of their activities.
And this is the mark left in the long river of time!
Upon seeing the brand, the dragon and phoenix masters' pupils contracted, and they immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"hold head high!"
The Dragon Lord roared to the sky, and the vast Water Dao spread out, seemingly wanting to swallow up every mark he left in the River of Time.
Beside him, the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord swayed, and thousands of brilliant lights rippled around him, beginning to continuously cover his own imprint from the present to the past.
Upon seeing this, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor sneered and said:
"Fellow Daoists, it seems your understanding of the Great Dao of Time is not profound. Now, I will show you what it means to reverse the past!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor made his move!
The Time Clock suddenly rang out with a resounding chime, and then, in the next instant, it shattered into pieces!
With his natal artifact destroyed, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor couldn't help but groan, blood spilling from his mouth.
However, this was something he had anticipated, so he was naturally able to handle it.
Destroying his own natal artifact, a vast surge of time power erupted, merging with the River of Time like a torrent and flowing into that illusory river of time.
In an instant, on one of the Dragon Lord's marks in the long river of time, one after another hideous cracks suddenly appeared!
The poison of the five decays had somehow crept up those cracks!
Attack the past from the present, and then let the past influence the present!
As expected, the scales on the Dragon Lord's body shattered one by one, revealing one hideous and terrifying wound after another!
At the same time, numerous poisons of the Five Decays appeared out of thin air on his body, constantly eroding him, while the Great Dao of Time flowed through his body, accelerating this erosion.
"This...this is the Great Road of Time..."
The dragon lord's pupils contracted, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably as he felt the assimilation of him by the Heavenly Dao suddenly intensify.
He desperately tried to shrink the marks he had left in the river of time, as if they had solidified into stubborn rocks to prevent further damage.
At this moment, while the Dragon Lord was injured, the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord also had a similar aura flowing through him.
The magnificent phoenix feathers on the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord's body began to dim, as if it had aged thousands or even tens of thousands of years in an instant.
The erosion of time surged forth, and the long river of time was turbulent, as if it wanted to drag the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord into the long river of time and drown him completely!
This Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor was almost on the verge of achieving the Great Dao, but because of this, his strength reached its strongest level in his life, and he single-handedly severely injured two demon lords.
Absolutely incredibly powerful!
This method almost consumed him completely, and by shattering his own Dao artifact, he managed to defeat the two Dao Lords with everything he had.
However, at this point, it was merely an opportunity.
If he wanted to kill these two, it was already too late.
He was no longer able to do what he was supposed to do next.
"I concede defeat..."
The ten-thousand-foot-tall true dragon gave the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor a deep look and said, "In your current state, you can obtain this immortal embryo, but there is only a 50% chance that you will be able to fully integrate with it."
You won't get what you want!
A look of resentment immediately appeared in the eyes of the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord. The last of the Five Virtues Aura on her body flowed away and finally turned into black silt.
These silts appeared out of nowhere on the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's body, as if eroding it, causing the figure, who seemed capable of suppressing heaven and earth, to writhe in agony.
However, after using this method, the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord was immediately injured again.
Both sides are still not in good condition.
However, there is no doubt that if they immediately withdraw from the Heavenly Court ruins, either the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord or the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Clan will be able to remove the Five Decay Poison from their bodies and continue to survive.
What if the fighting continues?
"If I keep fighting, he might seize the opportunity to drag me down with him..."
The Dragon Lord glanced at the Phoenix Lord.
At this moment, the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord also held the same thought.
To live or to die?
The three demon lords remained silent for a moment, then without hesitation, the Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord turned and left, forced to swallow this bitter pill and depart from this void.
If this continues, there is a very high chance of death. Even if he obtains a celestial embryo, his condition might be worse than that of the current Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor.
Leaving would at least allow them to continue surviving; it was an extremely simple choice, and these two demon lords had already made the same choice.
Seeing the Dragon Lord and the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord leave, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor was extremely weak, but he knew that the battle would not end immediately.
He only gained a slight advantage.
"Pass on my order: immediately kill those powerful demons, regardless of the cost."
He gave the order directly.
On the edge of the battlefield, the Heavenly Court and the many demon lords of the Demon Realm, who had been forced to lie low due to the previous fierce battle, immediately resumed their fighting.
The two sides are now locked in a life-or-death struggle.
The Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord also issued orders to interfere with the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's fusion with the immortal embryo at all costs.
If I can't have it, neither can you!
This is not simply a matter of revenge.
If the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor were to be fortunate enough to possess a celestial embryo and be reborn, he would certainly be able to rebuild his cultivation in a short period of time, given his current level of cultivation.
Although this short period of time may be hundreds or even thousands of years.
But for a demon lord at this level, a hundred or a thousand years is merely the duration of one period of seclusion. (End of Chapter)
