Chapter 1033: Chapter 558: Silence of Power (Part 2)
In the black fog, the body of the Taichu Centipede emerged from the darkness, transforming into two shadows, attacking Jiang Shu and the shabby young man.
The scene was chaotic.
The battle was earth-shattering, and the fleeing prodigies were originally still watching the battlefield.
At this moment, they could no longer hold back and fled towards a farther direction!
"Too terrifying! This battle is not something a normal Tenth Realm prodigy can get involved in."
"It’s better to look for other opportunities. No matter how good the opportunity, it can’t compare to one’s life."
"It’s such a pity. If it weren’t for Jiang Shu, perhaps we all had a chance to besiege that ancient freak. But the two of them..."
Streaks of light continued to move away.
Above the abyss.
The shabby young man grinned hideously, grasping one sharp claw of the centipede, blood-red threads spouted out of his pores. These threads wove into a bizarre totem in the void, forcefully refining this claw into blood water swallowed into his abdomen.
His incomplete body began to mutate, with dozens of writhing tumors bulging under his skin, seemingly constantly squirming.
Jiang Shu’s pupils contracted suddenly, the Chaos Thunder Pool suddenly collapsed, pouring out countless thunders to form a layer of golden heavy armor covering his whole body.
Dozens of Law Origins frantically operated behind him, transforming into pitch-black black holes, and an overwhelming big halberd appeared in Jiang Shu’s hand, crushing the space.
The Taichu Centipede sensed a fatal threat, its three thousand pairs of legs frantically moved, sketching a scarlet formation in the starry sky.
"Destroy!"
The young man’s mutated right arm expanded a thousandfold, grabbing forward, the palm opened with countless compound eyes, each eye spewing corrosive torrents that polluted even the starlight along their path to ink-black.
Jiang Shu neither dodged nor evaded, his fists ignited with transparent Qi Blood Fire, his punch thrusting forth like a galaxy waterfall.
The opportunity seized, how could Jiang Shu miss such a great chance?
His fists grew fiercer, each of his acupoints seemed like stars surging.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Nine successive explosions shattered the starscape over hundreds of miles, the young man’s mutated arm burst apart segment by segment.
The Taichu Centipede’s scarlet formation suddenly lit up, condensing the fragmented space pieces into millions of blood-colored spears.
Jiang Shu roared, shattering the void beneath him, wherever his fists passed, the spears crumbled into the most primordial Qi.
"Puh——"
The shabby young man could no longer endure the joint assault of the two, suddenly spewing a mouthful of Origin Blood, his form gradually fading in the blood mist.
He looked resentfully at the centipede devouring the formation, gritting his teeth and crushing the Jade Pendant at his waist: "Today’s gift will be repaid in the future."
Before the words fell, he transformed into a blood rainbow, escaping into the deeper void.
Jiang Shu couldn’t afford to pursue, as the Taichu Centipede was devouring the blood aura left by the shabby young man.
Its shell revealed eerie human faces, its three thousand pairs of legs rubbing against each other, emitting a harsh sound.
The human face on the centipede’s shell suddenly opened seven orifices, gushing out thick blood-colored mist like molten lava.
Having experienced a great battle, the Taichu Centipede was already in a weakened state.
Yet even so, the Taichu Centipede united with the Law, it could still return to stronger battle strength by abandoning its nature.
Therefore, Jiang Shu dared not be careless, rushing forward.
The Desolate Star Halberd in his hand had not yet fallen, the chaotic thunder entwined around its halberd tip hissed as it was corroded.
His pupils contracted suddenly, his toes fiercely stepping on the void, detonating waves of sonic booms behind him.
"Boom!"
The Taichu Centipede’s three thousand pairs of legs once again inserted into the void, the entire Star Domain suddenly began to solidify, Jiang Shu’s form instantly stagnated, watching helplessly as those barbed legs transformed into a cage, closing in.
At a critical moment, the Swallowing Sky Mirror hovering above his head abruptly burst with dark light, blocking all attacks, emitting a huge collision sound.
"Crack——"
The solidified space appeared with spider-web-like cracks.
Jiang Shu seized this fleeting opportunity, sweeping the Desolate Star Halberd across to carve a dark golden arc. Where the halberd blade traversed, even the wails within the shattered space vanished.
Clang!
Jiang Shu wielded the halberd to clash hard with the step, his tiger’s mouth bursting open with a spray of blood.
The vibration from the Desolate Star Halberd emitted sound waves that trembled the mysterious mist beyond the abyss, and unobtrusive black holes emerged on the halberd shaft, awakening at this moment to devour the centipede’s venom blood entirely.
The centipede suddenly let out a screech resembling an infant’s cry. At the wounds scorched by the Devouring Law and Cutting Law, black-red flesh crazily wriggled, quickly grew into secondary heads full of spikes.
The newly born head opened its mouth to bite the remnant power of the Laws, and among the fangs, the Devouring Law burst forth, extracting the Dao Rhyme into threads!
Jiang Shu’s pupils reflected this horrifying scene as the Kunpeng Demon Wings behind him flapped, birthing myriad phenomena.
Thirteen black holes of the Law suddenly reverse rotated. The Chaos Thunder Pool teemed and surged, countless thunder snakes climbed along the Desolate Star Halberd, condensing into a point of blazing white light at the halberd tip.
"Kill!"
At the instant the point touched the void, the entire Star Domain was illuminated as if by a supernova explosion.
The three thousand pairs of steps of the Taichu Centipede melted like snow in this light, and the human face on its back emitted a mournful wail, with blood mist spewing from the seven orifices forming struggling Resentful Souls.
At this moment, Jiang Shu grunted, a line of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Forcefully driving this immature Great Technique caused his vital organs to be full of cracks, yet the momentum of the Desolate Star Halberd did not lessen, wrapped with the power of shattering stars, pierced towards the centipede’s head!
Bang!
The moment the halberd blade penetrated the carapace, time and space seemed to stand still. The centipede’s three pairs of compound eyes revealed a bizarre expression of satisfaction, and the pierced wound suddenly burst with suction, attempting to swallow Jiang Shu and his halberd whole into its body.
"What a Taichu Law!"
"This is what I’ve been waiting for!"
Amid Jiang Shu’s roar, the thirteen black holes behind him suddenly collapsed into one, and the mysterious patterns on the Desolate Star Halberd collapsed into a black hole again, converting the devoured energy into pure Qi Blood. On his exposed skin emerged star river veins, his right fist condensed a rotating chaotic vortex, hammering fiercely toward the halberd handle’s end.
Rumble!
This strike completely nailed the Desolate Star Halberd into the centipede’s skull!
Ancient inscriptions emerged on the Desolate Star Halberd one after another, each glimmer caused the stars to tremble. The centipede’s massive body began to convulse, and what gushed from the carapace seams was not blood, but boiling chaotic currents of Laws.
Buzzing——
A tooth-numbing cracking sound was emitted from centipede’s body. The newly birthed secondary head suddenly self-detonated, the explosion’s shockwave sent Jiang Shu flying a myriad of miles. Yet the awakened black holes on the Desolate Star Halberd, formed by the fusion of Devouring Law and Space Law, had already gripped the centipede’s Origin, unable to escape despite its struggles.
Jiang Shu steadied his form in the void, both hands formed a mysterious seal, and the Chaos Thunder Pool inverted and descended, thunder liquid formed chains encircling the centipede’s entire body.
His blood-stained robe fluttered without wind, his eyes burning with Qi Blood Fire.
"Kill!"
In Jiang Shu’s explosive shout, the human face on the centipede’s back suddenly distorted and screamed. Those devoured Resentful Souls broke free from restraint, retaliating against its master. The black light bursting from the Desolate Star Halberd pierced through layers of carapace, illuminating the pulsing Origin Core within.
It was actually a dimly glowing Law Origin!
Jiang Shu’s eyes sparkled, his form transformed into a stream of light aimed directly at the Origin. Sensing the mortal threat, the remaining steps of the Taichu Centipede crazily gestured, marking a blood-colored array map that covered the sky in the void.
The moment the array map took form, the entire world plunged into darkness, unable to perceive anything happening.
In absolute darkness, only that Law Origin emitted a haunting glow. Jiang Shu’s Protective Thunder Armor quickly disintegrated under its light, decay signs appeared on the skin surface.
"No wonder it’s Taichu Law, even my flesh cannot withstand its erosion!"
"If I can refine this Law, comprehending Space Law later will surely be twice the result with half the effort!"
Jiang Shu’s eyes shone, resembling the circulation of sun and moon.
Facing peril, he showed no panic, the Law of Power spun constantly, confronting the Taichu Law.
Blood flowed from the seven orifices, and a pure golden fist accompanied by the last power of Chaos Thunder Pool shattered the final darkness ahead.
As if the heavens and earth were first opened.
"Boom!"
