Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Huang Ya gently nodded, the wrinkles on his gaunt face formed an extremely deep, bloodthirsty smile, and his voice spread out slowly in the silent core region like the friction of two dry stones:

"Very well, being able to step onto this core region means your bloodline and will are still usable."

His gaze swept over the face of each genius present as if it were tangible, especially landing heavily on Jiang Shu, with an undeniable command and expectation, he said,

"Next, the purification will begin."

At the moment his words fell, Jiang Shu clearly felt that beneath his feet, the vast core structure connected to the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array, laid out with countless star remains, cold and hard as black iron, started to emit a weak, almost imperceptible hum.

As if a greedy beast that had been asleep for eons was slowly awakening.

...

On the cold black iron plain, the smell of blood and gunpowder had been replaced by the thick stardust and the terrifying aura emerging from the depths of the earth.

Huang Ya continued his words, his gaunt fingers pointed to the surroundings filled with decay and chaos, he said:

"Ancient Star Residual Power, the force from the wreckage of millennia-old stars, so domineering it can crush your muscles and bones, yet it can also hone your flesh until it is Vajra Indestructible."

"Earthly Muddy Qi, heavy and somber, originated from the deepest impurities of the Star Core, it corrodes bones and invades souls, can sever the root of the Dao path, yet it purifies the impurities in your bloodline and cleanses the mixed Demon Essence, making your origin more clear and pure!"

"Endure this, survive, and every one of you can ascend to the Demon Venerable Realm, or even climb higher, onto the Demon Lord Realm!"

When his words fell, his sharp gaze swept across each face with an undeniable tone.

"Now, all of you sit tight!"

"The core power of Spirit Summoning will pour down immediately!"

"This is the first wave, and also the most crucial purification, all of you brace with your flesh to endure! Use your skin, muscles, bones, blood to sense, to withstand!"

"Do not easily use mana or divine skills to protect your body!"

His tone suddenly intensified, carrying the bloody smell of rust.

"Only when the body is on the verge of collapse, the soul about to disperse, will you be allowed to activate the Star Coffin mark on you, which will form a temporary shield."

"To reach that moment means your body has reached its limit, naturally, there will be power moving you out of the core region."

Huang Ya did not mention how long one could endure after activating the Star Coffin, behind him, several old monsters stood like statues, their aura obscure and deep, watching coldly.

The geniuses present were solemn, including Ao Hai from the Dragon Clan, who also straightened their backs, seeking closer to Jiang Shu.

On one hand, it’s because they are all from the Dragon Clan, on the other, they saw Jiang Shu’s potential and felt he could gain a better elevation here.

As everyone adjusted their breath, ready to face that terrifying impact, an extremely slight thought pierced like a cold silver needle, accurately into Jiang Shu’s Sea of Consciousness transformed as Golden Horn.

It was Huang Ya’s Divine Thought transmission!

"Golden Horn Young Master."

Huang Ya’s voice directly echoed in Jiang Shu’s heart, seeming to contain magic power that sees through everything.

"You carry the unparalleled potential of the Dragon Clan, a trace of the Ancestor Dragon’s shadow, enough to illuminate the future of the Demon Race."

"Yet, the path is difficult, especially to ascend to the peak, to contend with Jiang Taixuan who weighs on our Demon Race’s head, relying solely on natural growth requires long years of accumulation."

"You... do you wish for it to be faster, perhaps even ascend step by step directly to the Demon Venerable Realm?"

Jiang Shu’s Dragon Blood incarnation sat cross-legged with closed eyes, appearing calm on the surface, yet within the Mixed Cave Space, it revolved like stars.

Huang Ya’s words stirred no true waves in his heart, only extreme calm and swift calculation.

"Faster?"

Jiang Shu’s thought responded back fitting the identity of Golden Horn, with a trace of youthful arrogance and doubt.

"What the predecessor is saying, is there some forbidden secret technique?"

"Yet, this Dao of Heaven and Earth, relinquishes excess to supplement deficiency, desire for quick success must come with a price, right?"

Indeed, he has some curiosity about the foundations and methods of the Demon Race.

Huang Ya’s Divine Thought shown a faint trace of imperceptible appreciation and understanding.

"A price naturally exists, but not a price like life span or foundation as common folk might think."

His voice full of allure.

"Golden Horn Young Master, you have long been in seclusion within the Dragon Clan, don’t know if you have heard of Dao Practice Grafting, or Bloodline Resonance techniques?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu’s mind reflected like a mirror, instantly understanding.

Indeed, it is so!

This is exactly the function of the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array, he had already guessed when he heard "Star Coffin" and imprint resonance, this is why these old monsters gathered so many top Demon Race geniuses here.

He almost immediately realized what Huang Ya wanted to do.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Shu’s thought, with astonishing calm and penetration, struck back into Huang Ya’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Does the predecessor mean to use the Great Array of Starfall Abyss, amalgamate the power of other bloodline elites here, and even the endless blood qi and Demon Essence accumulated by the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array, and by some Mysterious Array as a bridge, forcibly graft and infuse it onto me, to ignite my Dao path’s fire and forcibly elevate my realm?"

This thought was sharp and penetrating, like a beam of cold light piercing through the calm of Huang Ya’s heart lake.

Huang Ya’s wooden-like body tightened imperceptibly under the shadow of the stele, deep in his murky pupils flashed a trace of incredulous shock.

After a brief silence, Huang Ya’s Divine Thought resonated with strong vibration and uncontrollable excitement, he even omitted the address.

"It seems the ancestors of your tribe have long seen through the secrets and told you such sensational secrets."

He directly confirmed Jiang Shu’s speculation.

"Yes, precisely this method!"

"All things have a determined strength and weakness, weak prey to strong is one of the Great Dao Laws!"

"Those so-called genius seeds, gathered in this place, donating part of Dao Yun and blood qi for the rise of our Demon Race’s True Dragon, is an honor beyond compare!"

"With our careful refinement and guidance, supplemented by the pure blood qi origin accumulated by the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array here, enough as fuel to ignite your Mixed Element Power in a short time, forcibly step into the threshold of the Demon Venerable!"

"This method indeed shakes the heavens and earth, its dangers naturally not small."

Huang Ya’s tone suddenly turned cold and solemn.

"Grafting is no easy task, the pure yet vast blood qi of millennia can easily disintegrate the Dao foundation and lead to the demise of body and Dao!"

"The success rate... is about sixty percent."

"However..."

Huang Ya changed his tone, continuing,

"Once successful, you will truly ignite the fire of Daoist Venerable, potential pushed to an unprecedented level!"

"The Jiang Taixuan of the Human Clan, what is there to fear?"

"Your name, Golden Horn, will surely dominate the current era, perhaps even enter the Emperor Palace, becoming the undisputed future Emperor of our Demon Race!"

Regarding being Emperor, Jiang Shu actually did not care, he was only pondering whether accepting this infusion method is genuinely beneficial for him.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Within the world he had begun to open up internally, all Great Dao Lock Chains he controlled were trembling, seemingly aware of the great benefits Huang Ya’s plan could bring them.

Among them, Desolate, Taichu, Devour, and Creation, these four Great Daos buzzed the most, like soldiers asking for a mission.

So, so, with these four supreme Great Daos there, no matter what Dao Yun, blood qi, Star Power, muddy qi comes, as long as it’s energy, as long as it dares to infuse, it will only become nourishment for the growth of his Mixed Cave Space World Tree.

Huang Ya thinks he’s laying the foundation for a future Demon Race Emperor, little knowing they’re making a garment for the Daoist Venerable of the Human Clan present in this era.

And the risk around forty percent could be completely ignored for Jiang Shu.

After all, if there really were huge risks.

He can completely use Two Realms Shuttle immediately!

Return to the Star Ruins Realm!
