Chapter 779
Showing Strength
"Indeed, there are still some merits in the pseudo-universe. Although Huang Xuesheng's mastery of the Devouring Law is not as good as mine, there are a few things that are worth mentioning."
Jiang Shu looked somewhat surprised.
It should be noted that he began to comprehend the Great Dao of Devouring very early on, and later he even comprehended a path that could lead directly to the Dao Lord from the Bashe Demon Lord.
However, after this discussion, he felt that he could absorb Huang Xuesheng's strengths in comprehending the Devouring Law and take his Devouring Dao to the next level.
As expected, none of those who can cultivate to the Venerable Realm are easy to reach.
"Gentlemen, is there perhaps a problem?"
Jiang Shu was somewhat surprised, let alone the other two Venerables beside him.
It should be noted that Huang Xuesheng initially presented himself as a venerable figure who possessed a high level of cultivation but lacked any real status.
But now it seems that this Venerable One also has his own strengths, which should not be underestimated.
The changes in Jiang Shu's and the two Venerables' expressions naturally did not escape Huang Xuesheng's notice. Huang Xuesheng paused for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, it's just that your Devouring Dao is too profound, and some of it is just my understanding."
Jiang Shu didn't offer much explanation, because the more they said, the easier it would be to expose their true identities.
Even his recent comprehension of the Great Dao only involved a portion of it.
Jiang Shu sighed and continued, "I still have some questions about the Great Dao of Devouring. I would appreciate your guidance when the time comes."
"Don't dare."
Huang Xuesheng quickly shook his head. He naturally saw that this was Venerable Jiang Shu's modesty. You must know that the Devouring Law was the law he had comprehended most deeply.
He also gained a lot from the discussion with Venerable Jiang Shu just now.
In some places, he had only deciphered a portion of the profound meaning.
No wonder Venerable Jiang Shu was able to reach such a level at such a young age.
If it were any other venerable one, they would have already looked up at the sky.
Just as Huang Xuesheng was about to say something more, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had sensed the presence of something.
Not only him, but Jiang Shu naturally noticed something was wrong even earlier.
Huang Xuesheng didn't react, so as a guest, he naturally couldn't say much.
Now that Huang Xuesheng was ready to make his move, Jiang Shu naturally wouldn't fall behind.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Venerable Ones transformed into streaks of light and appeared on the surface of the planet, while a terrifying shadow appeared in the distance.
The shadow was enormous, like a meteorite, exuding a powerful and majestic aura, stretching across the starry sky and giving people a great sense of oppression.
But as they got closer, they discovered that the thing resembled a fish, entirely black with white Dao marks all over its body. It was now rippled through space, constantly heading towards this star.
"here we go again!"
Huang Xuesheng looked very unwell.
Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes and nodded thoughtfully: "Star Beast."
Star Beasts are special creatures in this pseudo-universe. The birth of each Star Beast requires at least a complete and massive star as its foundation.
Once born, they possess at least Venerable-level combat power and can freely traverse the starry sky, making them a catastrophe for civilizations.
The food of the star beasts is the star core.
In the past, before the inexplicable calamity struck, the star beasts were kept in a confined place in the face of the entire human civilization.
According to the intelligence from the Mechanical Envoy, this star beast first appeared in the surrounding star field ten years ago. It was only thanks to Huang Xuesheng's attainment of the Venerable Realm over the years that he was able to barely hold off the star beast.
"Fellow Daoists, let's join forces..."
Huang Xuesheng naturally dared not be negligent. In the previous encounters with this kind of strange beast, he had only managed to barely repel it even when he went all out.
However, Zhan Feng laughed and said, "This thing is big enough, it should be fun to fight with, brother, you'll cover for me."
"it is good!"
Jiang Shu smiled and nodded.
The ferocious beast before them was only at the early stage of the Venerable realm, far from reaching the peak of the mature Venerable realm.
For him, if he went all out, it would only be one punch.
This is a good opportunity for Zhan Feng to practice.
"This star beast is exceptionally powerful; let's attack together."
Huang Xuesheng quickly spoke up.
Jiang Shu waved his hand and said, "Brother Huang, don't worry about it. With us here, we won't let anything happen to my brother. Just watch."
"OK then……"
Huang Xuesheng could only nod at this point.
At this moment, Zhan Feng was already striding towards the star beast. Compared to that ferocious beast, he seemed too insignificant.
However, once one reaches the Venerable Realm, the difference in physique is no longer a major obstacle.
After all, every Venerable One has a Chaos Void Space, which can store a massive amount of power. The power storage provided by their physical size is nothing compared to the Chaos Void Space.
"Roar!"
Zhan Feng made his move, unleashing a roar like that of an ancient behemoth. He swung his two day-and-day giant axes, and a huge axe shadow burst forth from the vast starry river, slashing towards the star beast.
In an instant, the enormous star beast seemed to sense the threat as well, and it detected a hint of killing intent from the tiny human!
The energy surge unleashed by this axe strike swept across the land, time seemed to stand still for a moment, and visual annihilation erupted abruptly.
The flesh and blood of that vast star beast were torn to shreds, and a large part of its body was smashed, twisted and torn layer by layer like fragile paper.
In the next moment, the star beast's flesh and blood rapidly recovered, as if it possessed inexhaustible energy.
The characteristic of star beasts is that they can continuously regenerate themselves and store massive amounts of power, and the star cores they eat are not for nothing.
However, there is one problem: they are extremely difficult to reproduce, which is why, although the Star Beasts are powerful, there are not many of them.
This means that it is extremely difficult for them to become a dominant force.
The next instant, Zhan Feng pounced forward, swinging the Sun-Dawn Giant Axe continuously, and a massive amount of energy burst forth from his body, eventually transforming into a colossal energy giant.
Even so, Zhan Feng's figure was still much smaller compared to that star beast.
The battle raged on relentlessly, and in the silent cosmic sky, all sorts of energy and light burst forth in a flash.
Meanwhile, on the surface of Cangyu Star, many people also noticed the various lights bursting in the starry sky and looked up at the heavens.
"This... this brother Zhan actually possesses such formidable combat power?!"
Huang Xuesheng couldn't help but swallow hard. He thought to himself that if he were facing Zhan Feng, he would probably have been defeated by now.
Jiang Shuling stood in the void and explained, "That's because he inherited all the secret techniques, great arts, and Venerable methods of the system. You have to comprehend everything on your own, and most of your energy is used to maintain the operation of the city planet, so your combat strength is naturally no match for his."
"indeed."
Huang Xuesheng immediately felt relieved and at peace. Then he heard Jiang Shu speak again.
"If we make up for it now, it's not too late. We can open up various cultivation manuals and classic texts to you, including those at the Venerable level."
"Really!?" Huang Xuesheng was overjoyed.
For any Venerable One, pursuing one's own Great Law is undoubtedly the most crucial thing, but unfortunately, he carries too much on his shoulders.
"Don't worry, it's not fake."
Jiang Shu smiled and nodded, then looked towards the distant battlefield.
At this moment in the star battlefield, Zhan Feng was still suppressing the star beasts, but even so, he could only suppress them.
Every time he destroyed a part of the star beast's body, the star beast's body would reassemble, as if it had an inexhaustible source of energy within it.
The reason the star beast was scared away was that Huang Xuesheng used the Devouring Law, which allowed him to absorb its energy as well.
The two sides fought fiercely, and the universe was soon filled with fragments of star beast bodies, creating a meteorite zone.
After another powerful attack—the Sunfall Technique passed down through the Alliance—the star beast's body was once again ravaged. However, compared to its entire body, the wounds were nothing.
Looking at the wound, Zhan Feng curled his lip.
"It was certainly fun to fight, but if we really wanted to kill him, it would take at least ten days, half a month, or even longer."
This is a star beast that has only reached the early stage of the Venerable realm, yet it has already forced Zhan Feng to struggle against it for a long time. Clearly, the star beasts in this pseudo-universe are indeed quite troublesome.
"Forget it, let's not play anymore, it's pointless."
Zhan Feng curled his lip, then put away his Sunrise Battle Axe and floated over.
"Then I'll handle it?"
"You go ahead."
Zhan Feng nodded.
Jiang Shu laughed loudly, then stepped into the star battlefield. Upon seeing his arrival, the star beast suddenly froze.
If Zhan Feng gave him the feeling that there was some danger and that he might need to escape.
Jiang Shu gave him the feeling of a terrifying behemoth.
Don't dare to move!
It seems like any movement will kill me!
Jiang Shu looked at the star beast with great interest and said, "It would be great if we could tame it. We can give it a try."
He raised his palm, and a figure immediately appeared behind him.
The figure was no longer fixed behind him as usual, but continued to expand and swell until it reached a limit, almost becoming a giant standing in the universe.
At this moment, the star beasts that stand shoulder to shoulder with them seem to be no less formidable.
The star beast suddenly bared its teeth and roared, but no sound came out of the starry sky.
"kill!"
Jiang Shu immediately roared, and the giant Pangu behind him suddenly swung his giant axe and smashed it towards the ferocious beast.
This strike could chase stars and seize the moon; destroying stars would be a piece of cake!
The terrifying blow was like the slaying of a chaotic demon god in mythology, striking the ferocious beast directly.
In that instant, the star beast suffered a severe blow, its massive body collapsing from the middle downwards. A terrifying force condensed into a black hole on the axe blade, raging wildly against its body.
The star beast immediately began to wail silently, struggling incessantly, but to no avail.
Jiang Shu stood in the void, raising his hand to grasp the giant axe, unusually calm, watching the body of the star beast repeatedly come and go between being worn down and reassembled.
After a long time, boundless light burst forth, and the star beast suddenly exploded from the middle, with large parts of its body breaking apart.
When the star beast was reassembled and restored, its size was only one-tenth of what it was before.
"It's done."
Jiang Shu nodded slightly, stepped forward, and appeared above the star beast.
The star beast's instinctive fear prevented it from making any move.
Jiang Shu stepped on it, and various laws spread out, forcibly imprisoning the star beast.
Without a doubt, the attack he just unleashed was far beyond that of an ordinary Venerable. Huang Xuesheng, watching from afar, was dumbfounded and began to tremble all over.
Gulu!
He was quite certain that if he faced this attack, he would probably be killed before he even started his move!
"So this person actually possesses such terrifying strength, truly, truly terrifying..."
However, Huang Xuesheng hadn't expected that Zhan Mengzun and Zhan Feng, who were standing behind him, were also dumbfounded.
"Has Jiang Shu's combat power increased to this extent? How exactly did he cultivate?"
"As expected of Venerable Jiang."
A moment later, Jiang Shu forcibly restrained the star beast and returned, smiling as he spoke:
"Fellow Daoist, is it possible to tame this star beast?"
If this star beast can be tamed, it can be used to guard the entrance to the Xuanxing Star in the future.
"Hmm, I think I've heard that it's possible, but it usually requires a special method, which I don't have."
Huang Xuesheng shook his head, thinking to himself that he didn't even have a proper Venerable Cultivation Method, so where would he find a way to tame star beasts?
"Ah."
Jiang Shu nodded; this was within his expectations.
After all, even if such a method existed in this pseudo-universe, it shouldn't be something Huang Xuesheng could obtain.
After all, Huang Xuesheng is a Venerable One who has only attained this status in recent years and has not yet made contact with the outside world.
As for him, once the Demon Realm War ends, he can return to the Cangmang Great Domain and go to the Beast Taming Sect. With his current realm and status, he can obtain various beast taming techniques from the Beast Taming Sect.
Perhaps, one will suddenly realize the possibility of taming star beasts.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Shu used his abilities to conceal the beast and forcibly fix it in the void.
He took a step forward and left the place with the others.
However, a moment later, Zhan Jiuxiao, the Zerg Venerable, and even the Mechanical Race powerhouse, who had been hidden in the surrounding star field, also flew out.
"This thing is quite convenient. My Zerg are somewhat interested. If we could raise one, we could use it as a warship."
The Zerg Venerable couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Hmph, these are the spoils of war of my human race."
Zhan Jiuxiao emphasized one point.
If it were an ordinary Venerable One, it would be fine to use them for exchange, but Jiang Shu's existence is completely different.
Clearly, killing this star beast would be extremely easy for Jiang Shu, so the reason he kept it alive might be because it would be of great use.
"Don't you guys have any interest in exchanging?"
The Zerg Venerables were still offering incentives; they also had their own ideas about this unique star beast.
The mechanical race venerable one remained silent, seemingly analyzing the structure of the star beast and the unique features of its body.
This must contain special prehistoric laws. (End of Chapter)
