Realm-Hopping Martial Master

"Go!"

He had to leave, and fast!

This thought was branded into the deepest part of Jiang Shu’s Divine Soul like a searing iron.

The instant it arose, his entire body moved.

Jiang Shu didn’t dare remain for even a heartbeat, he didn’t even have time to collect the vast Demon Venerable Essence Blood that Earth Ant had sprayed out, blood enough to drive a Daoist Monarch mad.

In a Daoist Monarch Level battle, even a single instant of distraction could bring about countless unforeseen disasters.

"Shui Huan!"

Jiang Shu let out a low shout, and a ghostly radiance violently surged from the Shui Huan Gloves on his left hand.

Strands of Great Dao surged madly around him, like an immeasurable ocean flooding without end.

These Dao Yun were doing their utmost to drive the Shui Huan Gloves’ control over space and their ability to tear space.

At the same time, the Mixed Cave Space within his body roared, the World Tree Seedling swayed wildly, the Space Dao Rhyme it emitted grew so dense it almost turned into tangible cyan threads, which instantly wrapped around his entire body.

Crack!

At the spot he had just been standing, space was torn by Jiang Shu’s hands, forcibly "extracting" the entire spatial dimension before him, himself included, out from this twisted and chaotic region of the Desolate Sand Sea!

"Swoosh!"

His figure vanished without a trace from where he’d been, moving so fast that all he left behind was a ring of space ripples spreading like water waves. Even the light in that region warped and blurred for a brief instant.

Almost in the very next instant after Jiang Shu disappeared—

"Boom!"

With the place where Earth Ant had fallen at the Sand Sea’s core as the center, the space within a radius of a thousand miles shattered and collapsed violently, like a mirror into which a boulder had been hurled.

A terrifying high temperature arose out of thin air, crimson flames soared to the heavens, instantly blazing across everything within sight.

That was no ordinary flame, but a Supreme Demon Fire that contained Laws of annihilation and twisted the Void!

The figure of the Heaven-Burning Ancestor descended brutally within the core of that sea of fire hot enough to vaporize Immortal Gold!

This was a silhouette so massive and burly it barely resembled a human form, its body covered in fiery-red carapace, molten patterns flowing across him like lava.

His head was like some terrifying primordial Fire Phoenix, his eyes like two shrunken suns, flickering with savagery, cruelty, and boundless rage!

Yet when that gaze—enough to scatter the souls and spirits of an ordinary Demon Venerable—swept across the battlefield, all he saw was Earth Ant’s corpse cleaved cleanly in two, its death utterly miserable.

The spatial residual ripples that were enough to obliterate a Demon Venerable’s Origin were slowly calming.

Not far away, Ice Chi and Golden Roc hovered somewhat dazed amid chaotic streams of flame and shattered spatial fragments, as well as the space ripples at the spot where Jiang Shu had vanished, ripples that had yet to fully disperse and still contained a strange Dao Rhyme!

"Jiang Shu!!!"

The Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s roar shook the entire Desolate Sand Sea; even in the far-off direction of Split Stone City there seemed to come a faint spatial echo.

His voice carried fury and killing intent enough to burn star rivers!

His violent Divine Thought instantly covered a million miles of Sand Sea, tracking along the path where those space ripples extended.

That trajectory pointed toward the southeast of the Chaotic Sand Sea, and was rapidly fleeing at an inconceivable speed.

"Four wastes!"

"You couldn’t even hold him for a single moment!"

The Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s enraged gaze slashed viciously across the remaining three fiends, who were still shaken to the core.

That gaze was so cold that the three Demon Venerables, who had long since stepped into the Early Stage, felt a bone-piercing chill; even Fire Flood Dragon’s flames subconsciously shrank back a little.

They were all flames, yet its flame, before the Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s flame—

Was like an ordinary volcano encountering an eternally burning, blazing Lie Yang.

The gap was simply too vast.

Not just in Realm; even at the same Realm, the Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s flame quality would far surpass its own.

This was the difference of bloodline!

"Ancestor, calm your wrath! That Human Clan brat..."

"Shut up!"

The Heaven-Burning Ancestor rudely cut off the Fire Flood Dragon’s attempt to explain.

His massive body trembled fiercely, and the pair of colossal flame wings on his back suddenly spread, blotting out the sky!

"Chase!"

With this furious bark, his entire demonic body turned into a blood-red streak of light that tore through the firmament, his speed far surpassing lightning’s strike.

The sky seemed to be burned open into a blazing crimson passage; wherever he passed, space twisted, ten thousand miles of clouds were boiled dry, and the Sand Sea below instantly crystallized into glassy glaze.

His target was locked straight onto the direction Jiang Shu had fled; that terrifying speed and pressure seemed capable of burning and devouring even time itself.

The Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s speed had reached the absolute extreme, and with the pair of fire wings behind him, his speed was even faster than what Jiang Shu had displayed when he tore space to escape.

He was an old-brand Demon Venerable who had long since pushed the Fire Dao to an unfathomable Realm; using Heaven-Burning Flame to burn through the Void to Teleport was the trump card skill upon which he’d made his name!

In just a few breaths, his vast Divine Thought that burned the heavens had already barely locked onto the nearly imperceptible residual spatial ripples ahead—that was Jiang Shu’s spatial fluctuation!

Closer!

Even closer!

A vicious light surged in the Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s eyes as he raised a massive claw covered in red Armor, magma flowing across it. Terrifying Fire Law condensed at his claw tips into a red point, compressed to the utmost, containing a world-ending might.

Just a moment closer, and it would be enough to burn that fleeing figure, as insignificant as an ant, along with the space he occupied, into Cosmic dust across the distance.

He could even "see" the extremely fine space ripples ahead fluctuating, as if that hateful Human Clan brat was right before his eyes.

Now!

Carrying a Power of Destruction that could burn all things, the massive claw, across a hundred miles of distance, swung viciously toward the point where the spatial fluctuations were most intense—that core point of ripples where Jiang Shu had disappeared last!

Rip!

That patch of space was penetrated like thin paper, forming a terrifying black-red fire hole hundreds of zhang in diameter.
