Realm-Hopping Martial Master

"Ao Qing, your discernment is unparalleled."

Xuan Huang took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Struggling to stand up, he spoke:

"I originally planned to stay at Barbaric Wilderness Ridge, ready to strike at any moment. But unexpectedly, Jiang Shu appeared out of nowhere. His realm is definitely not just at the Early Stage of the Mixed Cave Realm."

"In terms of his understanding of the Space Dao, he has even surpassed me."

"More than just the Space Dao, he surprisingly has some comprehension of the Time Dao as well."

"Even if I give it my all, I am absolutely not his match."

Xuan Huang’s words were not yet finished when the Heaven-Burning Ancestor suddenly let out a cold snort from the front.

"If that brat Jiang Shu really advanced to the Middle Stage of the Mixed Cave Realm, escaped back? Just because of you."

The disdain was clear in the blazing eyes of the Heaven-Burning Ancestor.

Within the Demon Race, he is the only one who has repeatedly faced Jiang Shu.

Especially to this day, he still hasn’t dismissed the suspicion that Golden Horn is Jiang Shu.

If his suspicion proves true, Jiang Shu indeed has the potential, leveraging the foundation of the Demon Race, to advance to the Middle Stage of the Mixed Cave Realm.

However, if this is the case, Jiang Shu’s combat power will increase once again.

This Xuan Huang, how could he be a match for Jiang Shu of the same realm now?

Xuan Huang’s heart tightened, and he quickly suppressed the anger rising within.

If any other Demon Venerable had come to reprimand, even if they were late-stage Demon Venerables, he could rebut them.

But the one before him is not just a half-step Demon Lord.

What’s more crucial is that the Heaven-Burning Ancestor frequently loses clarity of mind.

Once he truly makes a move against him, with his current realm and combat power, he would be powerless to resist.

He could only continue exhaling, explaining: "At that time, I had already sacrificed all my Daos, fully invested in the Devouring Dao, and after completely devouring Jiang Shu’s attacking force aimed at me, I quickly fled."

"Perhaps back then Jiang Shu thought that this force was sufficient to directly capture and kill me, focusing more on the battlefield instead."

"I see..."

Heaven-Burning Ancestor wanted to say more, but Ao Qing had already furrowed his brows deeply, snorted,

"It seems that Jiang Shu has gained many benefits in the battle with Golden Horn, otherwise, how could he have suddenly advanced further. As for this Time Dao..."

"Whether it’s a benefit acquired from the Human Clan or the Demon Race, remains unknown."

Heaven-Burning Ancestor wouldn’t indulge Ao Qing, speaking immediately, his gaze wandering as he looked at Ao Qing.

He didn’t fully express his words, but anyone could hear that his implication was saying that Golden Horn is Jiang Shu.

And this point was a direct slap to Ao Qing’s face.

Everyone should know that Golden Horn is currently the hope of the Dragon Clan.

If Golden Horn truly is Jiang Shu, it goes without saying that the Dragon Clan failed to discern Jiang Shu’s disguise.

"Shut up!"

Ao Qing roared furiously, stamping his foot heavily on the ground. The entire surface trembled slightly, and a fierce tide surged from beneath, magma boiling.

"I personally verified, Golden Horn is Golden Horn, claims of substitution are merely unfounded babble! If you continue to speak rudely, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Ao Qing’s gaze was icy, rage unrestrained on his face.

"Afterwards, I will publicly clear this matter in front of many Demon Race Venerables!"

"Moreover, I won’t regard you, a half-waste half-step Demon Lord!"

"Hmph!"

The Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s face looked quite displeased but did not retort.

He had previously engaged Ao Qing momentarily during their argument.

Though it was just an instant, at his realm, it was enough to discern Ao Qing’s prowess.

Should a battle truly ensue, he might occupy an advantage, but it’s likelier he would lose control of his Divine Soul, descending into confusion.

At that point, Ao Qing could merely escape.

He would have no means to deal with him.

Turning away from Ao Qing, the Heaven-Burning Ancestor proceeded forward, then raised a hand to press on Kunpeng Xuan Huang, speaking:

"You and I are both Feather Clan; let me help heal you, and permit me to inspect..."

Closing his eyes, the Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s crimson Spirit Light diffused like fine rain, merging into the body of the Kunpeng.

Compared to typical methods of a Demon Venerable, the Heaven-Burning Ancestor grasped a fragment of the Time Dao.

Though this Time Dao is merely embryonic, it possesses a hint of the Power of Time.

Under the execution of the Dao, the superficial wounds on Xuan Huang began gradually healing.

This recovery was not a progression from bad to good.

But a reversal!

"Thank you, Ancestor."

Kunpeng Xuan Huang’s eyes were filled with shock, the disparaging thoughts he had harbored against the Heaven-Burning Ancestor now suppressed.

He experienced, through this technique, the immense gap between him and the Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s realm.

However, contrary to Xuan Huang’s expression, the Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s face became increasingly gloomy.

Superficial injuries are easy to heal.

But Xuan Huang’s foundations, those are severely damaged.

All his Daos have already collapsed.

Surviving to reach here was a miracle in itself!

"Ancestor, how is Xuan Huang’s injury?"

Among the few Feather Clan Demon Monarchs behind, there was one who stepped forward, asking.

The one asking was precisely a Demon Monarch from the Kunpeng Clan.

Throughout the Kunpeng Clan, Xuan Huang’s combat prowess is considered extremely strong. If he could recover, their Kunpeng Clan would naturally be willing to pay a high price.

"Scram!"

Such a mere Demon Monarch was hardly of importance in the Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s eyes, like an insignificant ant.

He wouldn’t even care.

In his view, the Kunpeng in front was beyond rescue!

The injuries on this Kunpeng were infinitely more severe than those on Golden Horn!
