Chapter 757
The Death of Jiang Shu?
Jiang Shu glanced at his surroundings, his thoughts racing, and with a single step, his entire figure vanished without a trace!
No matter what kind of crisis he faces, he can always escape by using the ability to travel between the two worlds.
After he disappeared, the terrifying golden crow's body suddenly exploded.
It unleashed an extremely rich aura of the Great Dao of Time!
The first level outside the Pantheon Cave.
A fierce wind swept by, carrying with it a murderous aura and a pervasive stench of blood.
The human and demon races retreated slowly, exchanging glances, their expressions subtly revealing a palpable sense of impending doom.
Just now, the demon race's Heavenly Court finally exhausted its strength and retreated, disappearing without a trace. It seems they used some means to leave.
At this moment, the human race and the demon race temporarily joined forces to cross the void.
After all, neither of them traversed the void on their own.
Previously, the human race relied on the combined power of the Tongtian Jianmu tree and the World Tree within Jiang Shu's body to forcibly forge a Tongtian Dao.
On the demon side, they used the Great Dao left behind by the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord to cross the fifth and sixth levels.
But now, Jiang Shu has already chased after the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor, and the Great Dao left behind by the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord has been destroyed in the great battle between Dao Lords.
For the time being, although there were coordinates, the human and demon races could only temporarily join forces, after all, there was the threat of the Five Decay Poison from the outside world.
"Next time, I will surely kill you all!"
Ao Qing stared intently at the many human venerables before him, a sense of exhilaration welling up within him.
Because he clearly realized that among these powerful human warriors, one person was missing!
Supreme Daoist Master – Jiang Shu!
That damned human ant is finally gone!
"Judging from how much these humans value that kid, it's no less than how much our race values Golden Horn, yet at this moment, that kid is nowhere to be found."
"Either they've already encountered danger, or they're trapped in that place with no trace of them. Either way, it would be a great thing for me."
Ao Qing was overjoyed, and when he glanced at his own Golden Horn, he was even happier.
With Jiang Shu gone, no one can compete with Jin Jiao for the position of Dao Master of the Great Dao of Power!
The road ahead is clear!
Ao Qing originally thought that a life-or-death battle would take place between the two sides in the future, and that it would inevitably end with the fall of one side.
"I was a little worried at first, after all, anything can happen. I really didn't expect that kid surnamed Jiang would actually perish in it."
As for whether Jiang Shu is alive or not, or whether he will perish in it.
Ao Qing didn't care at all.
"Whether he lives or dies, the Heavenly Court ruins will definitely be sealed off after this, and he won't be able to get out!"
Ao Qing was pleased, then glanced provocatively at Taiwu Daozun and said, "Today we meet again someday."
"When my clan's Golden Horn reaches the Dao Lord realm of the Great Dao of Power, I will surely kill you!"
Taiwu Daozun sneered, "From today onwards, if I have the chance, I will spare no effort to crush you, Ru Jinjiao!"
However, despite saying such harsh words in his heart, Taiwu Daozun knew the truth of the matter.
Golden Horn?
It's nothing more than an avatar of his own Tai Xuan Dao Zun.
In a sense, Jin Jiao is a part of Jiang Shu.
The two sides stood in a stalemate, neither daring to make a move.
We can't afford to fight! We can't win!
Once they left the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods, the poison of the Five Decays was everywhere. Although they were not as afraid as the Dao Lord, these Venerables had been fighting for a long time, and both sides were somewhat exhausted. Moreover, they had already used all sorts of methods.
If a real battle were to take place here?
It's likely that both sides will perish together, suffering heavy losses.
Neither the Demon Realm nor the Vast Expanse was too willing for either side to perish here, since a draw was better than a lose-lose situation.
After all, no one actually obtained that so-called "divine embryo".
The two stared intently at each other, then slowly retreated, each heading towards the door they controlled.
In an instant, the distance between the two sides widened, and they could not even sense each other's presence.
As they sped along, the leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect frowned and said directly, "Do we really have to leave immediately? Should I leave a few puppets here to keep watch? If Daoist Tai Xuan returns, I can at least provide some assistance."
"it is good!"
Taiwu Daozun readily agreed, saying, "You all need not worry. Since he is so adamant, he must have some premeditated plan."
"Although he mainly cultivates the Great Dao of Strength, he is by no means a brute."
Taiwu Daozun had spent the most time with Jiang Shu and knew that this kid usually liked to take risks and always managed to escape unscathed.
"This child comes from the bottom and has fought his way up. He is never short of courage. Whether it is the war between humans and demons, the destruction of the demon race's Ten Thousand Spirits Forging Venerable Array, or today's battle of the Heavenly Court's Immortal Embryo, this child is never unprepared."
Taiwu Daozun wondered in his heart if Jiang Shu really did have some means of escaping and protecting his life. Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out why a living being could frequently walk on the edge of life and death, yet always manage to escape unscathed.
Moreover, every time Jiang Shu was being hunted down, he would disappear for a period of time.
"Well, whether he's just lucky or he has other tricks up his sleeve, I guess we should just believe him."
Of course, these were just the thoughts in Taiwu Daozun's mind. When asked by the other Daozun, he simply said, "You need not worry, but I have my own trump cards. Perhaps one day we will meet again."
Of course, the reunion he mentioned could also be the real reveal of his true intentions.
Upon hearing these words, all the Dao Venerables present nodded in agreement.
Jiang Shu has created too many miracles along the way.
Even though their cultivation levels were much lower and their experience was far less, many Dao Venerables still speculated that Jiang Shu, with his profound fortuitous encounters, must still have a glimmer of hope to survive.
Meanwhile, on the demon side...
Ao Qing opened up the Dao field and led many demon lords away, heading towards the crack that had previously been created by the demon imperial palace in the distance.
"Alas, I wonder if the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor has truly merged with the power of that immortal embryo and turned to leave?"
Phoenix Abyss Demon Lord let out a long sigh.
"In any case, if that person really obtains the immortal fetus and is reborn, our demon realm will probably have to face a Dao Lord who has the identity of Golden Horn but is even stronger than Golden Horn."
The Long-Armed Ape Venerable, standing to the side, spoke with a cold laugh.
After hearing these words, the many powerful figures present fell silent.
Their information came solely from the human elders.
All they know for now is that the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor seems to be in a critical period of fusion, but they don't know whether the fusion has been successful.
Perhaps it's just a fifty-fifty number?
But once that Heavenly Emperor successfully merges with the Heavenly Emperor and goes into seclusion to cultivate asceticism, when he turns around and returns to fight, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Demon Realm will dare to be his enemy.
Perhaps the glory of the ancient demon court will be repeated.
Thinking of this, all the demon lords felt downcast.
After all, nowadays, the demon race has to obediently follow the orders of those demon lords. These demon lords are the top level of the demon realm.
What if the demon race's heavenly court were to be re-established?
Leaving aside whether they will be purged, their current carefree state is likely gone forever. And among those present, perhaps the only one who is still somewhat happy is Ao Qing.
“Golden Horn, from today onwards, you will be the only one walking the path of power. So even though Jiang Taixuan is dead, you must not slacken your cultivation.”
"Your opponents are no longer that dead man, but the other demon race prodigies, and the demon race emperor who may return!"
Ao Qing spoke solemnly to Jin Jiao.
This time, the dragon and phoenix joined forces to launch a great war, and all the major clans revealed their trump cards.
Just like the Gluttonous Demon Lord, whose cultivation reached the late stage of the Chaos Realm and who specialized in the Great Dao of Devouring, he showed his prowess in this great battle and his strength was not bad.
Or perhaps it was the Five Virtues Phoenix who actually made an appearance this time, single-handedly manipulating the Imperial Palace and directly interfering in the entire battle.
And the White Tiger Demon Lord, who received the White Tiger Seven Kills inheritance, has an even brighter future, after all, he received that precious Demon Lord inheritance, which can almost be said to be tailor-made for him.
Thinking of this, Ao Qing couldn't help but sigh, "They really hid them well. I wonder who will be able to compete with Golden Horn in the future."
Despite saying that, Ao Qing's tone was full of confidence.
The path of strength leads to a bright future!
Jiang Shu is dead!
No one dared to challenge Golden Horn for the position of Dao Lord anymore.
From then on, in Ao Qing's eyes, as long as Golden Horn could stick to his original intention and cultivate the various methods of the Dragon Clan, he would have a great chance of ascending to the position of the Dao Master of the Great Dao of Power!
"Yes, old man."
Jinjiao nodded slightly, his eyes filled with a sense of pride that even made many of the demon lords beside him squint.
Ao Qing was very satisfied and transmitted his voice: "This time, you gained a lot of prestige in the great battle."
"Now, you should take advantage of your remaining prestige to increase your influence and win over some powerful demon clans, which will be of great benefit to you later."
"Ancestor, I naturally know about these things. Perhaps, perhaps..."
Golden Horn looked up into the depths of the Myriad Gods Cave, then transmitted his voice: "Perhaps, after the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, the one that once again reigns supreme over all demons and rules the entire Demon Realm will no longer be the so-called Heavenly Court, but the Dragon Court!"
"Today I have witnessed the magnificence of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor, but so what? Sooner or later, I will take his place!"
"Dragon Court!?"
Ao Qing's eyes widened, a look of horror appearing in his molten iron pupils, before he burst into laughter.
"well!"
Ao Qing's eyes were full of satisfaction.
He was somewhat worried that after Jiang Shu's death, Jin Jiao might encounter some problems due to the sudden disappearance of his lifelong enemy.
But he won't do that now!
At this moment, Ao Qing had no idea that Jin Jiao was looking towards the Ten Thousand Gods Cave with a different intention than thinking about the ancient demon court.
Although what was inside Jinjiao's body was only a wisp of Jiang Shu's consciousness.
However, if the entity itself perishes, this wisp of consciousness will naturally sense it.
The absence of change itself signifies that the situation should return to normal.
This clone of myself only needs to continue cultivating peacefully.
"However, I'm afraid I'll have to face pressure from within the demon race next."
Jin Jiao raised an eyebrow and then noticed a series of gazes fixed on him.
Some eyes were full of goodwill, some were extremely indifferent, and two others were eager to fight him.
One of them is the White Tiger Demon Lord, who received the inheritance of the White Tiger Demon Lord, and the other is the Five Virtues Phoenix, who was born not long ago.
"He's no pushover..."
With his eyes lowered, the true power of the demon race was fully revealed.
Afterwards, they may gradually reclaim the lost territories.
However, by this time he had grown up and was no longer afraid of any means.
A few days later.
News of the Myriad Gods Cave gradually spread throughout the vast and demonic realms, immediately shocking numerous forces and powerful individuals.
The Heavenly Court of the Demon Race!
Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor!
Celestial Embryo!
Each and every one of these events could have stirred up countless waves, and now they all erupted together in a very short period of time.
Not only that, many of the legacies that were left behind on the battlefield were also obtained, and all those who were able to leave the Pantheon alive received great opportunities.
Whether human or demon, the only regrettable thing is that Jiang Shu disappeared in the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods.
Rumors of Jiang Shu's demise were already spreading rapidly throughout the Demon Realm.
In the following months, both the human and demon races tacitly began to issue warrants for the arrest of the Golden Crow, and did their best to search for news of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor.
After all, the ultimate victor, the powerful one who merges himself with the immortal embryo, might just be the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor!
Neither the demon race nor the human race wants to see the Demon Emperor return.
……
In the space of the eighth floor of the Eternal Tower, time is stretched to 256 times that of the outside world.
In an exceptionally secluded space.
Jiang Shu's figure appeared here.
His body was covered with an extremely dense layer of time-related Daoist energy, as if it had been deep-fried.
"Cough cough..."
As soon as he appeared in the Eternal Tower, Jiang Shu began to cough incessantly, his face turned pale, and his body began to be covered with dense wounds.
"Damn it, I was still a step too late..."
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his expression grim.
Upon sensing the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's final attack before his death, Jiang Shu did not hesitate to travel through time, but ultimately he was a fraction too slow.
Although this only meant that he was tainted with some of the Daoist essence of time, it also caused him considerable injuries.
After all, the Great Dao of Time is something that one must master in order to advance to the realm of a Saint or Dao Lord.
At present, Jiang Shu only has a very basic understanding of it.
"call!"
Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Jiang Shu sat cross-legged and immediately began to use his own Daoist energy to cleanse his body.
He's in very bad shape right now!
He needs to be treated as soon as possible.
Fortunately, this is the Tower of Eternity!
Not only does it possess an extremely high rate of time flow, but it also has a vast Daoist charm flowing silently within it.
He sat cross-legged, his breathing long and deep. With each inhale, he forcefully used the various Daoist energies around him to cleanse himself, as if washing away impurities.
Every time the body recovers even a little, it will crack open again due to the effects of the Great Dao of Time.
At this moment, Jiang Shu seemed to be endlessly wandering along a stretch of the river of time. (End of Chapter)
