Realm-Hopping Martial Master

The Golden Horn, with the Ancestor Dragon Bloodline and the support of both Phoenix Clan and Dragon Clan, along with the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array, naturally recovers swiftly.

But this Kunpeng, merely at the Demon Venerable Middle Stage, why would the Kunpeng Clan exhaust the treatment of an entire clan?

Furthermore, with the collapse of the Great Dao, it’s uncertain that the Xuan Huang will gradually degrade to the Demon Monarch Realm.

Shaking his head, the Heaven-Burning Ancestor was about to withdraw his hand, as he only needed to know about Jiang Shu’s condition.

He cared not for the wounds on Xuan Huang.

However, at that instant, his expression suddenly froze.

Incorrect!

He suddenly looked down at Xuan Huang, his pupils shrinking, and immediately retreated.

The wounds on Xuan Huang, originally suppressed, suddenly gaped open on his wings, body, and head, as if some giant beast within was awakening.

"Hmm?"

Ao Qing, always observing the Heaven-Burning Ancestor, trusted him instinctively, shifted his crimson-golden dragon eyes, then stared fiercely at Xuan Huang, instantly uttering a word: "Retreat."

Almost instantaneously, Xuan Huang’s entire body exploded, scattering weakened bones, with a previously hidden immense power within erupting.

A heavy, heart-wrenching boom echoed, as if Xuan Huang were a balloon, inflated to the extreme and pierced.

This is the wound brought by the Time Dao!

Intentionally hidden within Xuan Huang’s body, only to erupt at this moment!

"Boom!"

A violent rumble resounded within the Emperor Palace.

The Heaven-Burning Ancestor folded his hands, layers of Great Dao power imposed upon the Time Dao, as a crimson long rainbow streaked across the sky and suddenly descended, freezing countless flesh and bones, solidifying time and space!

This was beyond the realm of Heaven-Burning’s capability to freeze time and space!

Though fleeting, it locked the impact of Xuan Huang’s explosion completely.

Imagine, this is the Emperor Palace.

If Xuan Huang had truly self-destructed, destroying a hall of the Emperor Palace.

Even he, being half-step into the Demon Lord Realm, wouldn’t escape the blame!

Witnessing this, neither the faces of Heaven-Burning nor Ao Qing looked good.

Provocation!

Ultimate provocation!

After a long silence, Ao Qing finally squeezed out words through gritted teeth.

"That kid, seems to have grown further after battling Golden Horn, progressing beyond expectations. In this explosion, not only traces of the Time Dao exist but also a deeper Power Dao. Even I, when first entering the Demon Venerable Late Stage, had not comprehended such insights!"

However, compared to his silence, Heaven-Burning’s fury was even more maddening.

His body stained with blood, his face sullied, like a fierce ghost, he stared intently at the remains, his aura seemed somewhat frenzied.

"Jiang Shu, I must kill you!"

Heaven-Burning’s voice sounded as if originating from the depths of hell.

Jiang Shu’s growth was too fast.

Despite repeatedly reevaluating, this was completely beyond his imagination!

Realizing that even numerous Demon Venerables in the Late Stage might not understand the Time Dao to some extent.

And Jiang Shu, currently just at the Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage, could even comprehend a hint of the Time Dao Embryo.

If Jiang Shu continues to grow.

Even at his current half-step Demon Lord Realm, he would be swiftly matched by Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu, too monstrous.

Must ensure Jiang Shu’s demise!

Not only Heaven-Burning Ancestor, but Ao Qing’s gaze also brimmed with killing intent.

Though he comprehended a trace of the Time Dao Embryo, utilizing it still reached only this far.

This meant Jiang Shu was on almost the same starting line as him in this aspect.

Initially, his intention was only revenge for his descendant Golden Horn, but now Jiang Shu’s existence completely exceeded his understanding.

In his wrath, Heaven-Burning and Ao Qing’s faces were like frost filled with apprehension.

"Whew!"

Heaven-Burning Ancestor tried to calm down, his facial muscles involuntarily twitching, turning to the Feather Clan members and speaking: "Is that kid still in the Barbaric Wilderness Ridge?"

"This... This... Subordinate doesn’t know. He should... still be there."

The Feather Clan Demon Monarch, never having witnessed such a scene, trembled, shivering completely.

Earlier, if not for the Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s intervention.

They would have perished in the aftermath of Xuan Huang’s explosion.

The self-destruction of a Demon Venerable Middle Stage, such power was immense.

Even a Demon Venerable would fall.

Let alone being mere Demon Monarchs like them.

Currently, they were still in fear, unable to respond to Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s inquiry about Jiang Shu’s location.

After all, the real confrontation was with Xuan Huang.

They merely encountered it midway.

"Forget it."

Heaven-Burning Ancestor shook his head, speaking: "No matter, this person’s life, I shall personally end!"

"Back then I chased him twice, cornering him to flee without escape, today I must kill him!"

Words falling, Heaven-Burning Ancestor turned to Ao Qing beside him, speaking: "Ao Qing, I’ll personally hunt down that kid, you have no objection, do you?"

Originally, he contested with Ao Qing on who would strike first.

But now he had full reason to act first.

The Kunpeng Clan and their Phoenix Clan shared a lineage connection, this time he could leverage Kunpeng Clan’s Xuan Huang’s death as a reason to capture Jiang Shu.

As for Ao Qing, if he remembered correctly, Golden Horn was currently in seclusion.

Ao Qing would naturally refrain from moving rashly.

Otherwise, he would already be out searching for Jiang Shu’s whereabouts.

Instead of dwelling in Emperor Palace, quarreling with him.

Sure enough, as his words fell.

Ao Qing’s eyes emanated profound killing intent, then, he said:

"Fine, you take the lead. Now I must impart the Dragon Clan’s mysteries to Golden Horn, I cannot move during this crucial phase."

"Hmph!"

"Rest assured, this time I will surely hang Jiang Shu’s head in the Emperor Palace!"

"By then, your clan’s Golden Horn will be cleared of disgrace."

Heaven-Burning Ancestor coldly chuckled, stamping a foot, causing the Emperor Palace’s molten waves to surge.

A void gate burning with heavenly flames appeared before him, stepping forward, the next moment, the aura of a half-step Demon Lord erupted.

...

Meanwhile, near Zhenman City, Jiang Shu suddenly halted, standing in the void.

"Wondering if the gift sent out has been received."

He had long left a hidden trap on that Kunpeng’s body, though he hadn’t fully comprehended the Time Dao, he did gain some insights through it.

These insights could delay the eruption of injuries.

If that Kunpeng clan Demon Venerable truly returned to his clan, perhaps post-detonation might slay another Demon Venerable.

Kunpeng?

Hmph!

Jiang Shu wasn’t fighting for the first time, it wasn’t a big deal.

"Alright, next, explore the surroundings, Supreme Sect Leader’s space passage leads here, surely it can’t be just for solving the Zhenman City battle that easily."

"After all, Zhenman City belongs to the Dao Yi Sect’s territory. It’s not part of my True Martial Sect."

Jiang Shu’s thoughts spread, scouring the area, soon detecting numerous demon races’ actions and traces of human clan mining.

This corner lay in a remote area of Barbaric Wilderness Ridge.

On each side were different walkways, even wooden houses erected on the cliffs.

Traces of mining spread across the ridge, where Jiang Shu could see half a piece of exposed Earth Core Marrow.

He descended slowly, observing around, not using Divine Sense but instead following down, detecting numerous traces.

"There seem to be quite a few demon races descending from above, along the rock wall."

The underground remained deep and unseen, yet with Jiang Shu’s powerful Divine Sense, he easily sensed every detail below.

"Rather interesting. Normally, naked eye, Divine Sense should not probe. Seems using the Power of Great Dao is needed..."

Perceiving the surrounding space, Jiang Shu slightly raised a hand, turning it abruptly, pressing downward like a Great Seal.

The invisible ripples expanded, sudden fractures webbed like spider webs across the surrounding void!
