Chapter 1284 - 683: Setting the Trap
Shattered Star Domain.
This is a desolate area on the long battlefront between the Human Clan and the Demon Race, repeatedly contested by both forces, now riddled with scars.
Broken star remnants float in the void, forming countless treacherous debris belts, and the land is riddled with lava chasms and bottomless spatial fissures, with chaotic energy storms ceaselessly raging.
This was once the center of an ancient stellar explosion.
Until two distinct yet equally domineering figures broke this silence.
"Boom!"
No probing whatsoever.
Like two ancient fierce stars accumulating billions of years of power in the abyss.
Jiang Shu’s true form and Puppet Golden Horn collided fiercely at the moment they reached each other’s perception limits, with the most primitive, overwhelming stance that took one’s breath away!
Pure physical power combined with the supreme might of the Great Dao!
Space was torn and crushed like thin paper by the first circle of invisible shock waves, forming an absolute vacuum stretching thousands of miles.
Dozens of small mountains silently turned into dust.
Jiang Shu, cloaked in a green robe, eyes icy cold, black hair wildly dancing in the chaotic energy currents.
Every tendon burst forth with the power to tear the heavens without any embellishment, his right fist clenched tightly, delivering a simple punch.
Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist!
The path of the fist caused the entire void ahead to collapse inwardly and twist, transforming into a chaotic vortex that devours everything.
Infinite gravity erupted from it, dragging and tearing all matter and energy within range, not just strength, but pure "force field" control.
Light, dust, violent energy flows—all were sucked and twisted by this terrifying fist, as if the world were about to be swallowed by that fist!
And above the void.
Refined into a puppet, possessing the Demon Venerable Realm, Golden Horn now revealed the dragon form.
Issuing a sky-shattering dragon roar.
He felt the terrifying pull, dark golden dragon eyes shooting out pure power brilliance, without any retreat, the enormous dragon body enveloped with vast demonic power, fiercely striking down!
The space before the dragon claw compressed instantly, as the fist carrying supreme dragon power propelled forward, fiercely colliding with that Qi Swallowing Vientiane chaotic vortex.
This was a clash of the two most primordial forms of power on the Great Dao!
"Boom!"
A visible ring-shaped shock wave mixed with chaotic color and dark gold swept out with mountain-toppling, sea-overturning force.
Where the shock wave passed, a lava river extending a thousand miles evaporated instantly, the surface scraped away hundreds of feet, leaving a mirror-smooth plane.
Space resembled an icy surface struck by a boulder, filled with crisscrossing black fissures, lingering for a long time unhealed.
Residual force transformed into billions of brutally sharp gang winds, slicing everything around.
After a punch, the two figures were violently repelled by massive counterforces, like two rays of light crashing into their respective dominated voids, triggering a series of more intense explosions.
"Kill!"
Jiang Shu’s voice resounded in the void, carrying a chilling battle intent.
He stepped forward, wielding the Desolate Star Halberd, his form turning into a blurry afterimage, power gathering once more.
The Desolate Star Halberd hummed with excitement, its mountain-like weight spun with one hand by Jiang Shu, carving out a trail that tore through ancient darkness, simple and direct.
Panwu Heaven Opening Axe, Sky Splitting Technique!
The Panwu Heaven Opening Axe embodied Jiang Shu’s complete understanding of the Great Dao, as his realm further elevated, new insights into his mastered great techniques emerged, creating new variations.
On the halberd blade, power origin shone like a grand sun, chaotic aura surging and entwining.
Every Great Dao condensed at the halberd tip, infinite power compressed into this terrifying point.
Like a vast sun, it exploded thunderously.
With one sweep, even this chaotic Shattered Star Domain would be divided in two.
Yet Puppet Golden Horn’s expression changed, as if sensing a deadly threat.
His dragon eyes blazed brightly, roaring once more, arms crossed fiercely in front of his chest.
Dark golden dragon scales instantly gleamed, the vast, mighty dragon power frantically flowed into his arms, the indistinct Ancestor Dragon phantom seemingly summoned forth.
"Boom!"
Like the first thunderclap of creation, the terrifying point of collision erupted with light countless times more dazzling than the solar core.
Indescribable energy erupted instantly, and that Ancestor Dragon phantom emitted a pained cry under a short-lived stalemate, fracturing piece by piece, as the unrivaled heaven-opening force surged in madly.
Golden Horn’s arms quaked violently, the dragon scales covering them, capable of crushing ordinary Dao Artifacts, shattered piece by piece.
His enormous dragon body was forcibly cleaved away by this irresistible terrifying force, crashing through a series of over ten mountains behind, raining down fragments, fiercely crashing into a molten sea, causing raging magma bursts.
At this moment, Jiang Shu also staggered back several steps.
The pure countershock from the heaven-opening force transmitted through the Desolate Star Halberd, shaking him, causing his tiger’s mouth to crack, a thread of golden-red Daoist Venerable blood trickling down the halberd shaft, his internal vitality slightly surging.
He gripped the long halberd tightly, his icy gaze locked on the magma sea.
Although Golden Horn was refined by him into a puppet, certain nuances of its combat were still led by the combat instincts of Golden Horn’s physical body.
Crash!
The magma wave was forcibly split by an overwhelming force, Golden Horn’s silhouette slowly emerging from the air.
Golden Horn’s dragon scales on both claws were almost entirely shattered, dark golden dragon blood mixed with boiling lava dripping, sizzling on the scorched ground, emitting blue smoke.
