Realm-Hopping Martial Master

The thoughts in his mind rose and fell like a tide.

His contemplation of the Great Dao had once again reached a critical juncture.

After advancing to the Vientiane Realm, Jiang Shu's grasp of the Power Dao became even more adept, accordingly stepping into a whole new level of understanding of the "Panwu Great Strength Dao Book".

The previously obscure and difficult parts of the Dao Book were verified and integrated as his cultivation advanced.

"Buzz..."

The Great Dao resonated in unison, and Primordial Qi surged.

Suddenly, after the infusion of countless Primordial Powers and the honing of spiritual power, the Power Dao suspended above his head started to tremble violently. The aura surged abruptly, breaking through the original bottleneck and stepping into a new world!

The vast power of the Great Dao interwove and consolidated, and an immensely grand wave of force immediately emerged from Jiang Shu's body, directly forming a pillar of light a thousand feet tall, shooting straight into the sky!

Mysterious and profound pressure erupted, causing the void to tremble and roar, whipping up countless fierce gang winds that swept across the sky!

"Phew..."

It wasn't until then that his long-still form slightly trembled, and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

Then, a gleam of light surged in Jiang Shu's eyes. He raised his hand and made a grabbing motion in the void, softly saying:

"Panwu Heaven Opening Axe."

With his movement, an endless and vast breath erupted from the Power Dao, flowing down and instantly coalescing into a giant mysterious black axe that almost pierced the heavens and the earth!

Compared to the divine skills previously displayed, the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe, now entirely black with profound lines engraved on it, emitted astonishing power fluctuations. Its annihilating power was inherent, causing the surrounding void to shatter and collapse with just a vibration, then slowly mending, in an endless cycle.

If the power of this Panwu Heaven Opening Axe were to be fully unleashed, even a Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm might fall to ruin under its light if not careful!

Perceiving the rich power of the Great Dao contained in the enhanced Panwu Heaven Opening Axe before him, Jiang Shu nodded with satisfaction, then casually waved his sleeve, dispersing the divine skills. The power of nine Great Dao hummed above his head, retracting into his body.

"After the comprehension realm of the 'Panwu Great Strength Dao Book' has been elevated, with the current power of the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe, it should be able to dominate in the early stage of the Vientiane Realm."

"When the exploration of the relics is over, and the Demon Sect and Demon Race discover they have failed inside, they might strike out in fury. It's better to enhance my strength a bit more, so I'll have the power to resist under the strong attacks of these old monsters."

Silently weighing the strength comparison in his mind, a flash of insight flickered in the depths of Jiang Shu's eyes.

In the Vientiane Realm, even a minor gap in realms results in considerable power differences, which ordinary methods cannot surpass in the slightest.

If he could contend with an early-stage Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm using his cultivation techniques, he would be among the elites of his peers.

However, there is still no opportunity to test if his expectations of his own strength are accurate.

This time, having successfully become a Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm, when he returns to the True Martial Sect, he is bound to have a high position and significant influence, and might even lead battles into the Endless Sea, battling against the Outer Realm Demon Clan.

By then, he can face off against various Demon Monarchs from the Demon Race and understand just how far his realm has reached.

"I wonder how Senior Brother Lu and the others are doing now. After cultivating in the Eternal Tower for many days, it's time to return to the Demon Sect's relics for a look."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Jiang Shu's eyes narrowed, standing tall, he moved at the speed of thought, enveloping himself completely in Primordial Power and spiritual power.

With a thought, he traversed the Two Realms.

In an instant of flowing eternity, upon reopening his eyes,

Jiang Shu's spiritual power immediately spread out, extending a thousand miles away.

Under the dim sky, squalls raged, disrupting the clouds. Below on the boundless wild earth, crisscrossed with ravines, fierce fissures yawned like the great mouths of abysses, utterly dark, with no end in sight.

On all sides, clusters of peaks crumbled and collapsed, towering dust clouds reached into the sky, as if just experiencing a devastating battle.

Even now, the earth kept violently trembling, roaring without halt, as if slowly collapsing.

"This is..."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Shu's expression instantly turned grave.

"It seems, during my days in the Eternal Tower, some unknown upheaval occurred within the inner circle of the Demon Sect relics."

"Could it be that the forces of the Eight Great Sects and the Demon Sect and Demon Race have indeed met and fully engaged in war?"

Contemplating this possibility, Jiang Shu remained calm. With his current realm and strength, any unexpected occurrence in the relics could be quickly resolved.

He stepped forward, into the void.

The spiritual power of the Vientiane Realm traced further outward until his figure halted suddenly.

At the edge of his sight, he saw two figures, bathed in blood and utterly disheveled, desperately fleeing. The Primordial Power around them bore a faint crimson hue, a clear indication of them being at death's door, using Origin Blood in a frantic bid for escape.

Behind these two, two lifeless puppets followed closely, emanating faint fluctuations of Primordial Power at the Nirvana Realm Peak. These exceedingly rare Heavenly Rank Puppets in the outside world, at this moment, appeared utterly wrecked, covered with hideous scars, one even missing an arm and a leg, its combat power vastly diminished.
