Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Although Jiang Shu had previously come into contact with Saints of the same realm as the Demon Lord,

at that time, he ultimately had never truly understood the methods of the Saints.

In the end, some flaws were exposed, detected keenly by the Heaven-Burning Ancestor.

In an instant, Heaven-Burning’s chaotic mind was completely ignited and detonated by this familiar fluctuation.

What explanation from the Emperor Palace, what so-called "nemesis" of Jiang Taixuan, all were lies. Now, his mind was filled only with overwhelming hatred and rage.

"Die for me!"

The silhouette of Heaven-Burning Ancestor almost vanished from the original spot at the moment the howl was emitted.

A giant claw, covered with blood-colored scales as thick as lava, tore through the void with an annihilating aura that made the entire underground plain of Starfall Abyss tremble, and closed in on Jiang Shu by the edge of the rift.

The speed was pushed to the extreme.

As if transcending time itself.

This was the rule suppression of a Half-step Demon Lord.

"Heaven-Burning Demon Lord?! What are your intentions?"

Jiang Shu’s expression changed dramatically.

He never imagined that the Heaven-Burning Ancestor would suddenly make a move at this time.

Thinking of his mention of Jiang Shu, could it be that his identity had been exposed?

These thoughts flashed rapidly through his mind, but Jiang Shu didn’t ponder further.

Heaven-Burning Ancestor was too close, and under the pressure of the Half-step Demon Lord Realm, Jiang Shu knew he couldn’t withstand it.

Though he didn’t know how Heaven-Burning Ancestor discovered him, the main purpose now was to survive.

Now was not the time for Two Realms Shuttle.

Once the Two Realms Shuttle really occurred, his identity would be fully exposed.

And this was not the most crucial.

The crucial part was that he might not be able to return to the Cang Mang Domain for a long time.

Because Heaven-Burning Demon Lord would undoubtedly be waiting for him here!

Jiang Shu said this to attribute Heaven-Burning’s sudden attack to his muddled consciousness.

Without hesitation, he frantically injected demonic power, attempting to accelerate the closure of the space rift.

But Heaven-Burning’s speed was faster, the destructive claw shadow had already covered his back.

"Heaven-Burning Demon Lord!"

Huang Ya’s roar trailed behind Heaven-Burning’s attack, filled with anger and decisiveness.

He had never interacted with Jiang Shu.

Nor did he possess Heaven-Burning Demon Lord’s perception.

Thus, he naturally assumed Heaven-Burning Demon Lord had inadvertently lost control.

From within his withered body erupted a vast demonic power far exceeding his usual capacity, his entire being transformed into a gray-gold stream of light, fiercely pouncing on the arm Heaven-Burning aimed at Jiang Shu. He couldn’t attack Heaven-Burning, only striving with all his might to block this fatal blow.

Boom!

It was as if two stars fiercely collided, a blinding light suddenly exploded, accompanied by the sound of a catastrophic collapse.

"Plop!"

Huang Ya’s figure got repelled faster than he had pounced forward, like a stone ball thrown by a primordial giant god.

The gray linen robe covering his body instantly carbonized and scattered, the demonic light protecting him shattered like glass.

His emaciated chest visibly caved in, breaking numerous ribs, the blood spewed from his mouth like a fountain, mixed with fragments of organs and dim golden luster, nearly dispersing the origin of his Golden Dragon bloodline, smashing him hard onto the cave wall behind.

Buzz!

The rock wall lit up with countless ancient defense runes, which flickered violently and then shattered in large areas.

Huang Ya’s body was deeply embedded in the stone wall, creating a giant human-shaped recess, cracks spreading like a spider web, with debris constantly falling.

His muddy old eyes instantly lost all brightness, his breath as weak as a flickering candle in the wind, only able to unconsciously sputter blood with fragments of organs.

This great figure of the Demon Race was crippled by an angry strike from the Demon Lord level Heaven-Burning.

Even the millennia-old formation patterns on the stone wall were smashed.

"Heaven-Burning... If you dare to kill Golden Horn, not only you... but even the Phoenix Clan will have to be buried with him!"

Huang Ya, embedded in the stone wall and barely conscious, had silently crushed the black Jade Talisman hidden in his tattered sleeve.

An unstoppable Divine Thought wave symbolizing the highest-level emergency instantly penetrated the endless abyssal rock and space barriers, targeting the heart of the Demon Race Imperial Palace.

"Roar!"

Having failed to shatter Jiang Shu with one strike, but instead severely injuring Huang Ya, Heaven-Burning’s fury intensified, like molten lava drenched with boiling oil.

He went completely berserk, his white robe completely shattered in the fierce airflow, revealing the terrifying demonic body beneath, streaked with crimson scales and flowing with thick demonic power.

"Jiang Shu... surrender your life!"

Heaven-Burning completely ignored Huang Ya, who was wedged into the stone wall and uncertain of life or death, his eyes locked onto Jiang Shu, who had partially entered the space rift.

Another intact claw reached through the void, where its shadow covered the space inch by inch, freezing solid.

Time turned sticky and sluggish under his claw, the power of controlling time and space by a Half-step Demon Lord revealing its first hideous aspect.

He intended to crush this space along with Jiang Shu within, reducing it to the most primitive dust.

The spatial rift was disturbed by this vast time-space force, becoming extremely unstable, the contraction rate dramatically slowing, its edges beginning to distort and disintegrate.

The terrifying sense of crisis pierced Jiang Shu’s Divine Soul like an ice pick.

All the hair on his body stood on end, the shadow of terrifying death enveloping him completely.

Heaven-Burning’s furious full-force strike, even if exerted from afar on the spatial rift, was enough to tear both him and the rift apart.

No time for thought, the instinct to survive overwhelmed all his thoughts.

"Explode!"

Under the terrifying lock-on by the Heaven-Burning Demon Lord level, Jiang Shu gave everything he had, exploding with the full cultivation of the recently advanced Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage.
