Chapter 754
Forbidden Land
The bloodline from beyond the heavens does not belong to this world.
Even if the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth were to forcibly encompass all things, it would have to pay a considerable price.
But this path will inevitably be fraught with hardship and subject to targeting.
"Now that we've embarked on this path, we must give it a try!"
Gritting his teeth, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor raised his eyes and saw a human infant in the distance, arms crossed, curled up in the air.
The baby seemed to be about to be born, radiating a strong sense of life, as if it could open its eyes at any moment.
Correct!
The immortal body created by him, the lord of the demon race's heavenly court, was actually that of a human.
Upon seeing the baby, the Heavenly Emperor's eyes were filled with longing.
That was his greatest chance of survival!
It is the life force that he is now willing to abandon everything for, and is determined to pursue with all his might.
"However, the only problem now is that I am too weak, and I have also fallen victim to the phoenix's ambush."
At the end of the great battle, the Five Virtues Phoenix used the methods that had been left on the body of the Golden Crow Emperor to ambush him.
This will not cause any damage to his soul or body, but it will reduce his luck.
The Five Virtues Phoenix has already comprehended some of the great principles of cause and effect, and the great principles of fortune and misfortune.
If this victory hadn't been so hard-won, the Golden Crow Emperor might have been able to use various means to erase this calamity.
But now, he has no choice!
"There is no turning back, but now that the immortal embryo is before me, then destiny is in my hands!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor moved his mind, and that wisp of soul immediately merged into the body of the fetus before him.
At that very moment, the fetus trembled slightly, as if it were about to be truly born.
However, this integration process will take a long time; he needs a certain amount of time.
With his eyes closed, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor focused almost entirely on merging with the fetus.
Just then, the Heavenly Emperor heard a series of footsteps beside him.
"who!?"
……
The powerful human warriors had already ventured deep into the ruins. They had already exhausted much of their magical power, and now they needed to proceed with caution.
Step by step forward, this underground palace is filled with numerous formations.
Each step they took required a significant expenditure of their energy.
"How can the Golden Crow Demon Lord still have so many tricks up his sleeve even after his fall? If he were at his peak, we probably wouldn't even have had a chance to escape."
The voice of the Heavenly Puppet Sect Master trembled slightly, a tremor stemming not only from fear but also from heartache.
Numerous materials, like flowers in water or the moon in a mirror, were consumed before his eyes.
If he could possess it, the strength of the Heavenly Puppet Sect would greatly increase.
"How about we just use the Dao Lord's methods?"
"no!"
The leader of the Dao Yi Sect immediately refuted this.
“If we all use that method, it will inevitably cause the Dao power emerging here to erupt and come towards us, and then we will be courting death.”
Hearing these words, everyone was shocked and sensed the schemes of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor.
It seems that this person had anticipated that someone would come here and had already taken precautions against various methods of the Dao Lord.
Without a doubt, the effect was excellent.
Even though the attacking force consisted of more than a dozen elite human Venerables, they were struggling to move forward and facing immense difficulties.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Each Dao Venerable was searching for direction. Several Dao Venerables forcibly broke open a door and saw numerous overlapping roads.
Seeing this, the expressions of all the powerful figures were extremely ugly.
They have opened countless doors, yet they still cannot find the location of the Golden Crow Emperor.
This is not a simple maze, but a predicament created by using sophisticated methods to fold and disassemble space into various shapes and sizes.
Leaving might be very easy, but going deeper into the relationship is extremely difficult.
The sect leader of Douxing Sect raised his hand and began to calculate continuously. Then he sighed and said:
"This is troublesome. If we were to use all our strength to deduce it, it would probably take several days to achieve the desired result. By the time I have that time, that Heavenly Emperor will probably have already completely integrated with it and left."
"Why can't we just blow this place up!"
The sect leader of the Hidden Sword Sect spoke with a cold smile.
The sword in his hand was raised high.
However, he did not rush to make a move, but instead turned his attention to the other sect leaders.
"I'm afraid not."
Taiwu Daozun pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said:
“A spatial labyrinth is vaguely connected to this small world fragment, and destroying a small world fragment is also very troublesome.”
"If we use the Dao Lord's trump card, it will attract the power of assimilation from the Heavenly Dao."
This was, after all, the Golden Crow Demon Lord's doing.
Among the demon lords, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor is also an extremely powerful being.
If there were a Dao Lord who was proficient in space and time at this moment, even without taking action, they could probably deduce the direction of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor just by observing his vision.
But right now, even with these Dao Venerables, they are still quite lacking.
All the Dao Venerables frowned; they hadn't expected this either.
Even though the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor had been nearly severely injured by the two demon lords.
Even with the poison of the Five Decays entering.
Even though they stumbled into this place by chance, they were still completely outmaneuvered by the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor.
At this moment, everyone had no choice but to turn their attention to Jiang Shu.
Without a doubt, Jiang Shu possesses a great opportunity and a great secret.
On many previous occasions, Jiang Shu had proposed excellent methods.
Until we resort to the Dao Lord's methods, this is the only hope we can have.
"senior?"
Jiang Shu had already been asking the question of the Bashe Demon Lord in his heart.
"How would I know? I didn't set this up, so how would I know its secrets? If I were in my prime, breaking through the assimilation power wouldn't be difficult. It's just a pity..."
The remnant soul of the Bashe sighed, but quickly continued, "However, there is still a way, but I don't know if you dare to try?"
"any solution?"
Jiang Shu calmed his mind; at this point, they had no way out.
If the Golden Crow Emperor were to successfully merge with the Star Ruins, his only option would be to escape back to the Star Ruins Realm.
We will temporarily abandon the vast and desolate region.
Only upon attaining sainthood or becoming a Dao Lord can one return.
"When we attacked this place, we learned a secret: the reason why the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor was able to create the Immortal Embryo was because he received the help of the Daoist essence from the outer realms."
"That Daoist essence does not exist in our world, and there are few ways to counter it. If you could obtain that Daoist essence, you might be able to break through it!"
"There's such a treasure?" "Of course, it was brought by an extremely powerful extraterrestrial demon. Back then, in order to kill that extraterrestrial demon, not only did the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor take action, but we powerful beings also secretly assisted."
The remnant soul of the Bashe sneered and continued speaking.
"I can guide you there, but you must be careful."
“You are not a demon from beyond the heavens. If that thing is not careful, it may turn you into a mortal for a short time. At that time, you will not be able to use the power of the Great Dao. If you encounter any problems, you will die without a burial place.”
"And you can only go alone. Otherwise, if there is even the slightest mistake with that thing, your other companions will be temporarily imprisoned as well!"
The remnant soul of the Bashe spoke, seemingly with great sincerity.
Jiang Shu waved his hand without any hesitation: "It's nothing more than a gamble."
"Good good!"
The remnant soul of the Bashe nodded excitedly.
"One of the reasons I perished back then was because of that Daoist aura. I remember that thing very clearly!"
Jiang Shu nodded, looked up at Taiwu Daozun, and began to explain his plan.
However, the next moment, Taiwu Daozun almost immediately rejected it.
"No! That's too risky!"
Taiwu Daozun frowned and said, "I don't know if that so-called external Daoist rhyme really exists, but the risk is too great."
"If all else fails, we might as well wait until the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor merges with the Immortal Embryo, and then use the Dao Lord's methods to see if we can kill the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor here."
"Leaving aside whether the immortal embryos can be fused, even if they are fused, the demon lords among the demon race may want to destroy the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor even more than we do."
Upon hearing these words, the other Venerable Ones present also turned their gazes in that direction.
Although they didn't know the details, they vaguely sensed that Jiang Shu might be about to take some risky action.
"Kid, go ahead and use your skills, we'll protect you."
The leader of the Dao Yi Sect spoke in a somewhat dignified manner.
In his eyes, he wished Jiang Shu would perish right there.
The sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect patted Jiang Shu on the shoulder and said:
"Perhaps you're too hasty about this matter. Relax. Even if we can't kill the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor, he'll still target the demon race first, and then our human race."
"If it's too risky, then forget it. I estimate that with all the treasures you've acquired, you'll be able to gain the upper hand in the future struggle against Golden Horn, and you'll have a good chance of becoming the Lord of the Power Path."
Some Daoist masters who favored the Zhenwu Sect also offered their advice.
In a sense, in the eyes of these Dao Venerables, Jiang Shu was destined to become a Dao Lord in the future.
For both public and private reasons, none of the powerful figures present wanted Jiang Shu to take such a risk.
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Shu heard the voice of the remnant soul of the Bashe snake once again.
"Boy, I still advise you to go back quickly. That Golden Horn is just your clone. You have a high chance of becoming my next Dao Master of Strength. As for the Immortal Embryo, it's not worth fighting for."
At this moment, even the Bashe began to persuade Jiang Shu.
However, Jiang Shu did not hesitate and transmitted his voice to Taiwu Daozun: "Sect Leader, rest assured, I have my own means to protect myself."
"you……"
Taiwu Daozun's expression changed, and he said, "If something goes wrong because of what you're doing, how am I supposed to explain it to your master?"
"The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor must be extremely weak after paying such a high price."
Jiang Shu's eyes shone brightly. As his cultivation level rose, he gradually came into contact with the highest level of the Cangmang Great Domain.
His own level of skill was already somewhat insufficient.
If he can risk his life to gain a lot of benefits from the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor this time, it may pave the way for him to directly reach the late stage of the Chaos Realm!
"I have decided to seek out that celestial Daoist essence and see if I can truly use it to break through this labyrinth and find that Golden Crow."
Jiang Shu continued to transmit his voice.
"Ugh!"
Taiwu Daozun could only sigh, give Jiang Shu a deep look, and transmit his voice, "Since you have protective measures, then be careful and prioritize self-preservation."
He then revealed that Jiang Shu would act alone.
The troops divided into two groups.
Jiang Shu went to search for the Dao essence beyond the heavens, while they were responsible for continuing to break through various spaces using the previous methods.
"call out!"
Space opened up before him, and Jiang Shu took a step forward, asking himself:
"Senior Bashe, how should we proceed from here?"
"You asked for your own death, so don't blame me."
Bashe sneered and said:
"Follow my guidance forward. I still vividly remember that otherworldly Daoist charm. The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor probably hid that thing here as a precaution."
"it is good!"
Jiang Shu nodded immediately.
Immediately, he activated his own spatial Dao and headed towards the Bashe.
Perhaps because he wasn't heading towards the direction of the Heavenly Emperor, he encountered no obstacles this time, and Jiang Shu traversed space at an extremely fast speed.
The further he went, the more oppressive he felt.
He felt a sensation that made it hard for him to breathe.
"I suppose you've already sensed it; that extraterrestrial Daoist aura is not far away."
"Be careful later, don't let the sudden restriction of your laws cause you to perish."
"Ah."
Jiang Shu nodded.
He had long been prepared to travel between the two worlds at any time.
He cautiously approached little by little, and after breaking through a seal, he quietly arrived at the underground palace.
An extremely oppressive atmosphere pervaded the area around the palace, and the fluctuations of Jiang Shu's internal energy seemed to be greatly restricted as a result.
It seemed that more than 90% of the Yuan energy in his body was sealed off.
The great path to enlightenment often cannot be fully grasped as it was in the past.
In an instant, his combat power plummeted from the Dao Venerable realm to the Dao Lord realm.
Even his face turned pale instantly, as if he had suffered a severe blow.
"This is only slightly closer. Fortunately, we both cultivate the Great Dao of Power. Even without the driving force of laws, we can still rival Dao Venerables with our physical strength."
The remnant soul of the Bashe chuckled and spoke:
"That's why I sent you here to retrieve that forbidden decree."
"A ban?"
"Indeed, especially the treasures created using that extraterrestrial Daoist essence, called the Forbidden Law!"
Jiang Shu did not respond, but walked forward step by step. There were no large formations around him, because under this forbidden law, this world seemed to be under extreme pressure.
Jiang Shu walked forward with great difficulty, each step feeling as if he were carrying a mountain.
However, this is not the truth; it is simply that he is feeling the effects of his weakening power.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Jiang Shu walked forward, arriving with great difficulty before the palace.
The palace was empty except for a token that shimmered with a dark, eerie light, floating above the central altar.
The token bears a large character for "prohibition".
Prohibited laws! (End of this chapter)
