Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Since returning, Jiang Shu has already slain several Demon Venerables, his combat strength undeniably powerful.

And now, there was a newly ascended Demon Venerable who could battle Jiang Shu and survive.

Such achievements were enough to demonstrate Golden Horn’s formidable prowess.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes focused on Jiang Shu, awaiting his response.

Though they were Supreme Sect Leaders, they were not on the battlefield and did not know the details involved.

Jiang Shu did not answer immediately. He walked to a star map sand table in the center of the Great Hall, simulating the Shattered Star Domain battlefield, and lightly tapped it. Illusions flowed across the table, quickly reenacting several key moments of his intense clash with Golden Horn.

The earth-shattering confrontation of the Chaotic Vortex and Solidified Dragon Fist, the instant the Desolate Star Halberd split the Ancestor Dragon’s shadow.

The scenes were incredibly clear, as if the violent Dao Rhyme of the Power Dao emanated through the sand table. The gaze of several Sect Leader projections became focused.

"This battle, although I did not exhibit many other Great Daos, you Supreme Sect Leaders know that what I cultivate is the Panwu Great Strength Dao Book, the Power Dao is the foundation of the many Daos I comprehend."

"I wielded the Power Dao, resisting with the body, and in terms of physical techniques, I deployed all my methods."

"Yet even so, I was unable to overcome Golden Horn in a short period."

"You should know that for some other newly ascended Demon Venerables, it only takes one punch to render them either dead or crippled."

Jiang Shu finally spoke, his voice not loud, yet it resonated clearly in the depths of every presence’s heart.

His finger pointed to the moment Golden Horn’s unleashing struck the screen, invoking the Chaos Law.

"Although Golden Horn swiftly achieved Demon Venerable status, his foundation is profound, unlike that of a rapid ascension. Perhaps due to the Ancestor Dragon bloodline, his resistance to various Daos is exceptionally strong. His control over the Power Dao has reached an extreme, quite remarkable."

"If it wasn’t for him having just entered the Demon Venerable Realm with an unsteady foundation, with his Bloodline Power still undergoing final transformation, I might have had to use more methods to secure victory."

Since it was a setup, Jiang Shu wouldn’t reveal anything to the Human Clan.

The true specifics of Golden Horn.

Until now, only Taiwu Daoist Venerable and his master, Purple Extreme Daoist Venerable, knew.

From the start of the battle, he was setting up a facade, and now the displayed battle scenes were naturally flawless and impeccable.

"His defense, the strength of his dragon body, is a notch stronger than True Dragons of the same Realm."

"Especially that Ancestor Dragon shadow; an all-out strike of an ordinary Daoist Venerable Early Stage could hardly break it."

Jiang Shu continued, pointing to the Ancestor Dragon shadow cleaved by the Desolate Star Halberd.

"If I hadn’t made new strides in comprehending the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe, it might not have been possible to break the Ancestor Dragon shadow."

"Yet even so, he endured the reverberating force."

In the void of heaven and earth, there was silence.

Xuan Ming Daoist Venerable of the True Martial Sect’s mouth twitched slightly; he previously thought Golden Horn was hardly worthy, believing he could surely kill him if not for Witchcraft Poison Demon Venerable’s obstruction.

Now, hearing Jiang Shu’s personal analysis, he realized the seemingly suppressed Golden Horn’s physical foundation and power origin were terrifying.

Even if he made a move, he might not be able to subdue Golden Horn in such a short time.

His Ultimate Killing Sword Qi, if truly aimed, could shatter the protective True Flame but certainly not kill him.

Thinking of this, he didn’t know what to say internally.

Clearly in the past, he was a Daoist Venerable at the Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage, having ascended to the Mixed Cave Realm for nearly a thousand years, witnessing countless dynasty rises and falls.

He had witnessed the rise of many descendants in the family.

Being revered as a senior ancestor by many.

But cultivated to the present, the great war commenced, and prodigies consecutively appeared. Within the sect, Jiang Shu already showed a tendency to surpass him, for now, not dwelling further.

Within the Demon Race, formerly merely at the Demon Monarch Realm, Golden Horn could even rival him?

"Ancestor Dragon bloodline... Sign of Ancestral Return..."

The presence of the Hidden Sword Sect’s Sect Leader was like an unparalleled sheathed deadly sword, his voice as cold as sword cries.

"The Demon Race’s methods must be guarded against. They are investing resources heavily on Golden Horn intending for him to suppress Supreme Mysterious Daoist Venerable in the future and start the counteroffensive horn."

"It’s far from simply targeting Supreme Mysterious Daoist Venerable!"

The Heavenly Puppet Sect’s Sect Leader projection emitted a low laugh.

Their Heavenly Puppet Sect had early allied with the True Martial Sect, thus their gaze towards Jiang Shu contained a degree of amicability.

"This is clearly the foundation of another future Demon Lord, even more dreadful."

"If his realm is allowed to stabilize thoroughly, mastering the Power of Ancestral Return, he won’t need to achieve Demon Lord; once he ascends to the Demon Venerable Late Stage, he might possess combat power akin to ours. Thus, making it exceedingly difficult for us in the Human Clan to annex the Demon Race territories."

When the news of Heaven-Burning Demon Lord’s move against Golden Horn was spread.

Within the Human Clan, many voices believed the great war was nearing completion.

Thinking the Demon Race’s Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan were about to fall into internal chaos.

But as it appears now, Golden Horn’s battle with Jiang Shu confirmed Golden Horn’s status.

The Demon Race might even gain an increment in morale.

"Golden Horn’s ascension to Demon Venerable likely consumed his entire depth. The Demon Race can rely on bloodlines to swiftly comprehend various Daos. But to cultivate a Dao to its utmost requires time."

"Golden Horn’s future Realm advancements won’t be rapid."

The Creation Sect’s Sect Leader projection was a fluctuating green halo, his voice gentle yet solemn.

"However, since Daoist Taiwu mentioned his foundation is set, only one step away, then he poses a major threat to us in the Human Clan."

"Everyone should understand, with such bloodline and Dao compatibility, once he crosses the threshold, the growth speed would be terrifying?"

The Dan Fu Sect’s Sect Leader projection surrounded by medicinal fragrance and cloud of pills, although among the many Supreme Sect Leaders, he didn’t excel in warfare.

However, he was one of the most knowledgeable about the Demon Race.

After all, whether it be Alchemy or Refining Talismans, most of the materials were provided by the Demon Race.

"We must swiftly eliminate him, never giving a second chance!"

"Even though Heaven-Burning Demon Lord is only at the Half-step Demon Lord Realm, should he take action, we have means to restrain him. But Golden Horn, with the Ancestor Dragon bloodline, once matured, it’s unimaginable."

"Eliminate?"

"Easy to say!"

The Douxing Sect’s Sect Leader projection, an old man donned in a Star Map Daoist Robe, shook his head, pointing at the Witchcraft Poison Demon Venerable’s location and the Great Dao Poisonous Miasma on the sand table.

"The Demon Race is already cautious, they will protect with full force."

"Last time there was a presence of Witchcraft Poison Demon Venerable’s Realm secretly guarding the Dao, next time it will be even stronger."

"No Daoist Master intervenes, unless we the Supreme Sect Leaders enter, we can hardly guarantee to slay Golden Horn."

He looked toward Taiwu Daoist Venerable.

"Daoist friend, what do you think should be decided on this matter, should we request the Daoist Masters for a decision?"

The Heavenly Puppet Sect Leader projection now directed his gaze toward Taiwu Daoist Venerable.

"Daoist friend, this child’s future threat from Golden Horn far surpasses that of a common Demon Lord."

"Although Heaven-Burning has achieved Half-step Demon Lord and acts crazily, self-destroying his foundation, he is little to fear."

"Yet if Golden Horn becomes a Demon Lord, he might even potentially cultivate the Power Dao to its utmost. It might affect Jiang Shu..."

The Three Thousand Great Dao, countless strive.

Reaching the realm of Daoist Master or Demon Lord not only involves comprehending the Time Dao but also breaking their Fundamental Dao to another Realm.

Some Daoist Masters and Demon Lords, once they breakthrough to a new Realm in a particular Dao.

Other than himself, any other person’s or demon’s comprehension of that Dao will fail to reach its utmost.

It’s already known that Jiang Shu primarily cultivates the Power Dao, and should Golden Horn beat him to it, Jiang Shu’s cultivation path would undoubtedly need reconsideration.

Perhaps, in other Daos, Jiang Shu can reach the utmost.

But falling behind in any step in some sense leads to falling behind continuously.

Moreover, with Golden Horn’s Ancestor Dragon bloodline, a constant worry for them.

A moment.

All gazes converged once again on Taiwu Daoist Venerable.
