Realm-Hopping Martial Master

As the other Sect Elders and True Inheritors fled, Lu Chong thought of this point and intended to remind them. However, they had already lost their senses, focusing solely on escaping, and wouldn't listen to his calm analysis, leaving him helpless.

"Qiu Taoguang, Lord Heavenly Phoenix, attempting to annihilate our Eight Great Sects' team is not as easy as you think. Once Jiang returns, I will certainly meet you!"

Determination flashed in his eyes. Lu Chong immediately led his fellow Sect members, spreading out his spiritual power, preparing to find a place within the Inner Circle to lurk and wait.

...

Deep within the Demon Sect Relics.

Under the sky, a blue-green Spirit Light pierced through layers of clouds, swiftly traveling into the distance.

A tall figure wrapped in the Spirit Light appeared faintly. As the light surged, the aura around him fluctuated violently, mixed with a trace of a bloody smell, lightly spreading and leaving faint blood traces in the broken clouds.

Zong Yue's lips held blood, his face pale, as he propelled his Primordial Power to fly through the air. Above him, the Green Jade Talisman still shimmered with weak chaotic glow, as pure Primordial Power continuously emitted from it, permeating his body and gradually healing the internal injuries from the previous battle.

Frowning, sensing the distant oppressive Evil Qi, Zong Yue clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, a trace of unwillingness surfaced on his face filled with gloom.

Defeated by Qiu Taoguang, he eventually relied on the treasure bestowed by the Supreme Sect Leader to escape—this was the greatest setback he had experienced since embarking on cultivation.

Once basking in the acclaim of the Sect and outside as a genius, now he couldn't accept such humiliation. His mind was consumed with finding a place to heal, meditate on cultivation, and soon surpass Qiu Taoguang for a decisive battle to regain his dignity.

"Cough, cough, with the current situation, as long as Qiu Taoguang is present, the Demon Sect and Demon Race's momentum will rise greatly, and no one can contain them anymore..."

Gloom gathered in his brows, Zong Yue's eyes flickered, full of worry.

Even he was defeated by Qiu Taoguang. In his view, others in the Eight Great Sects' team would be even less able to withstand the assault. The situation within the Demon Sect Relics had undergone earth-shattering changes. If this continues, the Demon Sect and Demon Race would soon control the entire situation.

Reversing the tide would be challenging.

This, undoubtedly, would add extremely unfavorable variables to the already tense situation between the Eight Great Sects and the Demon Sect.

Remembering the Supreme Sect Leader's instructions before departure, Zong Yue clenched his teeth inwardly, his eyes appeared resolute.

"The fortunes within these Demon Sect Relics are extremely important to us and must not be abandoned!"

"Must quickly escape the pursuers, find a secluded place to retreat, and only once I achieve another breakthrough can I defeat Qiu Taoguang and thus have the opportunity to turn the tide!"

Fire lit again in his gaze, determination set in, and with a thought, he increased his speed, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

However, he was unaware that after Wu Ya transmitted the news of his defeat, the Eight Great Sects' team had disbanded, each fleeing separately.

More than half an hour later, surging Evil Qi suddenly billowed from the horizon, and a figure exuding immense oppressive power emerged from the Void. Qiu Taoguang appeared in form.

His icy gaze looked into the distance, noting the faint trace of blood in the shattered clouds. He furrowed his brow and murmured quietly:

"Half a day has passed, yet Zong Yue still has this much strength left, it's somewhat surprising."

Then, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

The battle with Zong Yue restored Qiu Taoguang's absolute confidence.

"It seems Dao Yi Sect truly regards Zong Yue, this rare century talent of the Sect, greatly, bestowing many life-saving treasures, but..."

"The more so, the more satisfying it is to kill. Even with many treasures, eventually, they'll run out, and I'll see what means you have at that time!"

"Someday, I genuinely want to see the faces of those old ones in Dao Yi Sect contorted with fascinating expressions upon learning their cherished genius died here."

Resolute killing intent echoed through the air as Qiu Taoguang's gaze sharpened, evil Qi surged madly, and the space before him shattered. He again pursued, following the residual aura!

Yet, while constantly chasing Zong Yue, something surfaced in his mind, weaving through the Space Turbulence, his eyes gradually squinted.

"Strange, why has that Jiang Shu not shown himself while our Demon Sect and Demon Race have caused significant commotion in the Inner Circle of these relics?"

Whenever he recalls Jiang Shu's extraordinary strength displayed that day, Qiu Taoguang's heart is filled with dread, even after acquiring the Daoist Monarch of Great Disaster's inheritance, smoothly advancing to Vientiane Realm and increasing his power significantly, he has no confidence in defeating Jiang Shu.

Nine Great Dao...

The Power Dao among them, even surpasses his Three Calamities Dao!

His only angle was obtaining the true inheritance of the Daoist Monarch of Great Disaster, possessing Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations method. Even if truly fighting Jiang Shu, he ensured his retreat.

He didn't hide his aura while chasing Zong Yue, hoping to lure Jiang Shu out, but for some reason, the latter remained absent.

"The Great Array is shut tight; Jiang Shu must still be in these relics. As long as the Heavenly Phoenix side fervently seeks True Martial Sect individuals, he'll undoubtedly be forced out!"

"With my current strength, after capturing Zong Yue and enhancing my power further, by joining forces with our Sect's old monster and the Demon Race's Heavenly Phoenix, there's no way to suppress Jiang Shu! Not to mention, using the remaining True Martial Sect disciples, as hostages!"

With this thought, a ferocious smile arose on Qiu Taoguang's moody face, breaking the space further, flashing forward in pursuit.

In the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, the battles continue endlessly, layers of Demonic Qi and Demon Energy whirl like waves.

Meanwhile, in the Star Ruins Realm, Eternal Tower.

Under the shifting endless starlit sky, a tall figure sat cross-legged in focus, unmoving like a meditating monk, forming a Mysterious Seal with his hands before him, as the Primordial Power aura gently fluctuated with his steady breathing.

Nine solid Great Dao swirled above, as waves of profound aura spread towards the deep starry sky.

Especially that Supreme Power Dao, condensed into reality, forged an indistinct link with the sitter below, as his breathing quickly strengthened the Dao Origin, becoming more perfect.

Jiang Shu's face remained calm as water, his hand seal slowly shifted, continually practicing the "Panwu Great Strength Dao Book" within, as mighty Primordial Power sprang from his limbs, infusing the Power Dao.

In the previous battle against the Seventh Floor Replica of the Eternal Tower, he greatly benefited, though his cultivation didn't gain obvious progress.

Yet, his control over the surge of power gained after advancing to the Vientiane Realm became more adept, as if his limbs were at his command.

Reaching the Seventh Floor, he had exhausted all the foundation accumulated in the Nirvana Realm.

To pass the Eighth Floor requires continual accumulation.

"Wonder what circumstances are in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics. After parting with Lu True Inheritor, I suppose by now, he found opportunities and advanced to the Vientiane Realm."

"This time entering relics, leading the Demon Race is Lord Heavenly Dragon, already slain and sacrificed by me. The first True Inheritor of the Demon Sect, Qiu Taoguang, has been forced to reveal his means and fled afar. In the relics, I suspect the Eight Great Sects are now hosting everything, continually finding opportunities, and once I further comprehend the Power Dao, I can return."

"Firmly establishing True Martial Sect's position in the relics... Dao Yi Sect's position must also shift."
