Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Just by looking at this tragic scene, it is not difficult to guess that they must have encountered an extremely dangerous situation earlier.

If it weren't for the protection of those two puppets that do not feel pain, these two would not have made it here.

At this moment, not far behind them, a fierce wind swirled and clouds surged, as several figures surrounded by intense evil qi and vast demonic power pursued relentlessly, their murderous intent soaring.

From a distance, Jiang Shu observed the two groups of people weaving through the clouds, especially noting the attire of the two fleeing individuals and their skill in puppet manipulation. His eyes narrowed slightly:

"Hmm? Are these two from the Heavenly Puppet Sect?"

With his current vision, he could easily recognize the techniques they were using, which specifically belonged to the Eight Great Sects' Heavenly Puppet Sect's "Heavenly Gang Earthly Sha Puppet Technique." As for the pursuers, there was no need for further identification—their identities were clear, as only True Inheritors of the Demon Sect and the Demon Clan Commander would emit such dense evil qi and demonic power.

"It seems there really was an accident within the relic. Otherwise, the Eight Great Sects should be under the leadership of Zong Yue."

With this thought, the primordial power within Jiang Shu quietly circulated, and his figure within the void instantly disappeared.

Inside the Eternal Tower, he not only studied the "Panwu Great Strength Dao Book," but also spent time comprehending the "Great Void Heart Scripture," elevating his grasp on the Space Dao Embryo.

In the distance, the two individuals from the Heavenly Puppet Sect, affected by severe internal and external injuries, grew increasingly pale, and their speed inevitably slowed down.

"Cough... Brother Luo, if this continues... I fear it's not a solution, that group of maniacs behind us seems intent on pursuing us to death."

On the left, the tall and slender True Inheritor of the Heavenly Puppet Sect coughed up blood as he spoke in a low voice to his fellow sect brother beside him.

Upon hearing this, Brother Luo's face turned grim, clenching his teeth as he glanced back. Sensing the arrogant primordial power fluctuations from afar, the pain was apparent in his eyes as he replied solemnly:

"It's time to think of a plan. If it truly comes to a desperate point, we may have no choice but to self-destruct our puppets to fight for a chance to escape."

"However, if we encounter another unexpected event later, given our current state, we may be unable to cope. The Lifebound Puppet is our Heaven Puppet Sect's ultimate trump card. It must not be abandoned unless absolutely necessary. Junior Brother Gu, can you continue to endure?"

"Rest assured, Brother. I can suppress the injury for a short time."

Junior Brother Gu nodded first, then his blood-stained cheeks showed a trace of indignation:

"Damn it, who would have thought that venturing into the Ancient Demon Sect relics would lead to such a change."

"If it weren't for that lucky True Inheritor of Demon Sect, Qiu Taoguang, obtaining the inheritance of the Daoist Monarch of Great Disaster from the Ancient Demon Sect, which skyrocketed his strength, how could he possibly be a match for Zong Yue!"

Upon hearing this, Brother Luo's gaze also turned solemn.

Zong Yue's unexpected defeat was undoubtedly a result no one from the Eight Great Sects had anticipated, and even now, the two of them still found it hard to believe.

Now, Zong Yue's life or death remains unknown, those who ventured with him into the relics mostly perished tragically, with only a few escaping with their lives. The Eight Great Sects' group completely fell apart, each fleeing their own way, and the two brothers were unlucky to be targeted by the Demon Sect and Demon Clan, paying a high price to escape the encirclement.

While the two discussed countermeasures, the True Monarchs of the Demon Sect and Demon Clan pursuing from behind noticed their slowing down. The leader, a Demon Clan Commander in a black robe, revealed a bloodthirsty gleam in his narrow blood-red eyes, involuntarily licking his lips, sneering:

"After chasing for so long, these two are finally reaching their limits."

Beside him, the True Inheritor of the Demon Sect nodded coldly, casually agreeing:

"The True Inheritors of the Eight Great Sects are indeed capable. Even injured, they managed to detonate their puppets and forcefully breach defenses. But still, the overall situation is set, no matter how desperately they try to escape, it's all in vain."

"Starting with killing these True Inheritors is just the beginning. Once the relics are over, our Demon Sect, along with the Demon Clan, can attack the Cang Mang Domain. The resources of the Endless Sea Domain can't compare to the Cang Mang Domain. The Eight Great Sects have ruled for so long; it's high time to reclaim the territory that belongs to our Demon Sect."

Having said that, without waiting for the Demon Clan Commander's response, the True Inheritor of the Demon Sect coldly snorted and surged forth, enveloped in a torrent of evil qi, as his figure shot forward like an arrow off the string!

"Whistle!"

In the sky, primordial power roiled, the power of the Space Dao Embryo swept forward, as the True Inheritor of the Demon Sect pierced through the clouds, his cold gaze fixating on the two disheveled figures ahead, vast primordial power converging in his palm, gradually forming a deep black vortex, until upon reaching its peak of ferocity, he launched a vicious punch forward!

In an instant, the void trembled, the wind and clouds changed color, and a gust of palm wind formed from boundless evil qi roared forth, vaguely taking the shape of a black tiger, exuding extremely strong power fluctuations!

Sensing the approaching whistling wind behind their heads, before the attack even arrived, the two from the Heavenly Puppet Sect already felt locked in by an astonishing murderous intent, a chilling fear surging in their hearts.

Without any hesitation, they immediately mobilized their remaining primordial power to counter the incoming assault.

The two damaged Lifebound Puppets acted at the command of their thoughts, instantly flashing before them, raising their hands in a defensive posture.

The extraordinary attack arrived instantly, and under their horrified gazes, slammed into the hastily activated primordial power shield!

"Boom!"

The terrifying power of the Demon Clan Commander and the True Inheritor of the Demon Sect roared upon the world, completely pouring out. With just this one strike, the seemingly dense primordial power shields cracked densely, only holding for two breaths before shattering!

Numerous strands of power from the Space Dao Embryo crashed into the bodies of the Lifebound Puppets standing in front of them!

In a moment, each puppet emitted sounds like cracking beans, as their damaged bodies convulsed intensely, appearing overloaded.

The True Inheritor of the Heavenly Puppet Sect gritted his teeth, continuously channeling his gathered power of the Great Dao into the Heavenly Rank Puppet.

Struggling to maintain it.

The refining method of the Lifebound Puppet is a secret of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. Once successfully crafted, it resonates with its owner's divine soul, forming an extremely subtle spiritual connection.

In critical moments, if the master is severely injured, their body nearing collapse, beyond saving, they can attach their spiritual power to the Lifebound Puppet to survive, equivalent to gaining another survival method, notably exceptional.

Conversely, if the Lifebound Puppet is forcibly destroyed by someone, the master's divine soul will suffer intense backlash, even dragging down their own cultivation sharply!

Under the current circumstances, suffering severe divine soul harm means inevitable death. Just narrowly avoiding having the puppet blown up was a temporary hold-off.

However, even after narrowly repelling the attack from the True Inheritor of the Demon Sect, the two from the Heavenly Puppet Sect grew increasingly despondent. Once locked by aura, in their current condition, they simply could not endure another battle.

"The puppet technique of the Heavenly Puppet Sect is somewhat interesting. But alas, your capabilities are still lacking."

"It's said that some of your sect's old monsters have comprehended the Puppet Dao, transforming into a Dao. They can refine puppets into bodies outside the body, with puppets everywhere, rendering themselves immortal. If you two had such skills, even if you fell within the relics, you could awaken outside. Tsk tsk tsk."

The leading black-robed Demon Clan Commander stepped forward, his cold gaze sweeping over their pale faces, a smile tugging at his lips, yet mostly revealing disdain and mockery.

The Outer Realm Demon Clan hasn't just clashed with the Eight Great Sects once.

Knowing the strengths of each major sect naturally was part of their knowledge.

The Ancient Demon Sect relic is a grand chess game between the Demon Clan and Demon Sect, intending to bury the True Inheritors of the Eight Great Sects here!

Today is just the beginning!
