Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Although he still couldn’t break free from the great power that solidified time and space, it was enough for him to frantically activate the life-saving treasures just given to him by Huang Ya.

Buzz!

The first to light up was the core condensed projection of the Star Coffin.

A dim gray light with an abyssal aura instantly enveloped Jiang Shu’s body. Inside, countless tiny twisted runes frantically circulated as if communicating with the core array hub of the Starfall Abyss tens of thousands of miles away. A heavy, ancient, ominous will carrying the blood sacrifice of ten thousand spirits transcended time and space to arrive, transforming into the most resilient shield.

This was one of the backups Huang Ya provided to save his life.

Immediately, the Nirvana Feather, swirling with the pattern of red-gold flames, suddenly shattered.

A massive pure power filled with endless vitality of Phoenix Nirvana Flame erupted with a roar, like throwing wood into the mouth of a volcano, instantly igniting the dragon blood demon power in Jiang Shu’s body.

This power madly surged through his limbs and bones, on one hand strengthening his defense, and on the other, using the power of Phoenix Nirvana to frantically repair the slightest damage in his body that was about to collapse under the terrifying pressure of Heaven-Burning.

Boom!

The annihilating claw of Heaven-Burning, struck heavily onto Jiang Shu’s back, covered by the Star Coffin projection light and Phoenix Nirvana Flame.

An indescribable loud noise exploded.

A destructive energy surge capable of obliterating stars swept out, but was confined within the frozen time-space under Heaven-Burning’s control, repeatedly impacting and shattering everything inside.

The extremely resilient dim Spirit Coffin light shield on Jiang Shu’s body emitted a heartbreaking sound of ceramic shattering, covered in cracks, and dimmed.

The Phoenix Nirvana Flame frantically burned to repair but could only offset a small part of the penetrating destructive energy.

"Ugh!"

A low grunt erupted from Jiang Shu’s mouth.

Even with two top-tier defense supreme treasures protecting him, in the face of pure half-step Demon Lord level destructive power, he was still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

He felt like his back was slammed by an entire burning star.

The protective demon light shattered, the skin covered with dark gold scales cracked instantly, like a land drought for thousands of years, creating countless terrifying cracks deep enough to see bone.

Dark golden dragon blood mixed with broken muscle fibers sprayed out like spurting golden sand.

Some dragon scales twisted and flared under the absolute power, even crumbling into powder.

The powerful impact penetrated his outer defense, jolting his vital organs, the metallic taste surged in his throat, Jiang Shu barely managed to suppress the Daoist Venerable’s essence blood from spraying out, forcefully swallowing it down, but his face instantly turned pale as paper.

Severe pain like billions of steel needles pierced his nerves.

This was not a disguise.

It was a real heavy injury caused by a half-step Demon Lord level attack.

If not for his true realm being at the Chaos Hole Realm Middle Stage, his body had undergone multiple Great Dao temperings and just received a World Tree enhancement, making it far more resilient than an ordinary Demon Venerable, combined with the dual protection of the Star Coffin and Nirvana Feather that deflected most of the destructive power, this claw would have absolutely crushed him into blood mist.

Now is the moment!

Instead, the threat of pain and death instantly focused Jiang Shu’s mind to the extreme.

At the instant the defense supreme treasure blocked the fiercest shockwave, and his body wasn’t completely crushed, he seized that sliver of life.

That slight relaxation in the control of frozen time-space inevitably appeared during Heaven-Burning’s attack.

"Breaking Domain!"

Jiang Shu roared in his heart, without hesitation, he crushed another life-saving item in his hand.

It was the Breaking Domain Blood Talisman refined from Kunpeng Essence Blood given by Huang Ya.

Slash!

An incomparably sharp, intensely condensed spatial blood beam, like an ultimate Divine Sword drawn from its sheath, erupted from the blood talisman Jiang Shu crushed.

This blood beam contained the power of spatial origin that extinguished all laws, completely ignoring the spatial imprisonment left behind in Heaven-Burning’s enraged state.

Puff!

The blood beam accurately stabbed into the space crack shaken by Heaven-Burning’s attack, already on the verge of collapsing.

Like a red-hot brand inserted into solid ice, that exceedingly solidified space barrier under the Breaking Domain Blood Talisman’s origin power was forcibly torn open into a fragile gap just enough for a person to pass through.

Outside the gap, chaotic and free void turbulence breath surged in.

"Heaven-Burning!"

In the instant Jiang Shu was heavily injured and broke open space using the Breaking Domain Blood Talisman, he exerted all his strength, leaving a yell filled with a mix of anger and fear.

"Emperor Palace won’t let you go!"

Before his shout finished fading, his entire body transformed into a wisp of dim gold light, dragging a dark gold blood streak gushing in mid-air, in extreme destitution, crashed into the narrow gap forcibly torn open and collapsing rapidly.

In the last moment before his figure vanished, his cracked hand instinctively directed the final wisp of spatial power exploded from the almost shattered Breaking Domain Blood Talisman toward the rear.

His target wasn’t Heaven-Burning, but the treasure-etched rock wall supporting the cave.

Boom!

A deafening explosion occurred.

The rock wall already filled with cracks due to Huang Ya’s collision, under the impact of the residual power from Breaking Domain Blood Talisman, large swathes of runes and rocks burst open like rotten wood being blown apart.

Countless debris and dust mixed with spatial fragments rained down like a storm onto Heaven-Burning, who was about to strike again.

Debris and dust shot everywhere.

Chaotic spatial fluctuations distorted senses.

When Heaven-Burning roared furiously, the smelting gold flames on his body suddenly surged, incinerating all the incoming debris and dust into nothingness instantaneously, but was there a trace of the spatial crack ahead?

Only a large unstable point of spatial rupture at the edge was left, alongside the shocking humanoid crater on the cave wall, and Huang Ya deeply embedded within, blood still trickling from his nose and mouth, having fallen unconscious.

Jiang Shu disappeared.

Right under his eyes, dragging the injuries inflicted severely by him, Jiang Shu stubbornly broke out.

"Jiang Shu!!!"

Heaven-Burning’s furious roar echoed once more throughout the depths of Starfall Abyss, like millions of primordial fierce beasts mourning together.

Crimson magma flowed from Heaven-Burning’s seven orifices, the entire underground cave violently shook under the half-step Demon Lord level enraged pressure, the suspended massive remains crumbling and falling, spark a series of roars.

His smelting golden pupils firmly locked onto the remaining spatial remnants, filled with madness to destroy everything, and venomous at the highest degree.

He could clearly sense that after piercing through the space barrier, Jiang Shu’s aura quickly dimmed and blurred, like a pebble dropped into the endless ocean, disappearing in an instant.

Jiang Shu’s mastery of the Space Dao was already extremely profound, now further boosted by the infusion of the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array, his control over space became immeasurable, losing track was just a moment of carelessness.

This also meant Heaven-Burning Ancestor lost his last chance for pursuit.

Heaven-Burning’s smelting golden eyes deadlocked on the chaotic void where Jiang Shu disappeared, where numerous pitch-black sinister spatial wrinkles remained, like a ripped cloth repeatedly torn by invisible giant claws.

Jiang Shu’s aura was completely severed, like a droplet merging into the vast sea of void, leaving no trace to follow.

Rage akin to an eternal abyss magma burning fiercely, surged inside his distorted half-step Demon Lord shell, causing his reasoning to become even blurrier.

"Fool!"

With a sharp howl, Heaven-Burning suddenly turned towards Huang Ya embedded deeply within the stone wall.

Huang Ya’s emaciated body was deeply smashed into the cold rock wall covered in ancient runes, like a tattered sack nailed into the corner.

Ribs protruded menacingly from the collapsed chest cavity, dark golden blood mixed with organ fragments silently flowed down the cracked stone wall, staining the mysterious array patterns beneath him into a filthy mess.

His head drooped, murky whites of his eyes rolled, breath weak like a candle under wind, barely hanging life by a bit of instinctual demonic power.

Heaven-Burning took a step forward, the white robes already crumbled into ashes, demon body covered with crimson scales radiating furnace-like heat.

Without a glance at Huang Ya’s miserable appearance, Heaven-Burning’s giant claw suddenly raised, carrying the violent aura of star destruction, ruthlessly struck down towards the powerless figure!

"If it weren’t for you, this old waste, your blindness and folly, how would today’s disaster have arisen?"
