Chapter 1034: Chapter 559: Success! One Step Further!
In the pitch-black void.
The black hole on the Desolate Star Halberd emitted a thunderous hum, Jiang Shu merged with his halberd into a stream of light piercing the heavens and earth.
Along the way, layers of space shattered, and the instant the halberd tip touched the Taichu Centipede, countless cycles of light brightened in the entire Dark Star Domain.
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of breaking rang throughout the cosmos.
The moment the Taichu Origin disintegrated, the unwilling screech of the Taichu Centipede seemed still to be howling.
Its massive body, comparable to a star, disintegrated inch by inch, and the phantom of three thousand worlds gushed from the cracks in its shell, weaving into a brilliant river of law in the void.
"It’s over."
Jiang Shu stood in the center of the star river, waving his hand, supporting it, as if galaxies came into existence and perished between them.
"Taichu Law..."
This is an extremely strong path, compatible with many Great Dao.
For Jiang Shu at this moment, it was akin to bridging past and future.
Once comprehended, combined with mastering the Great Void Heart Scripture, it was basically like having one foot in the Forget Realm.
Jiang Shu breathed rapidly, spitting out mouthfuls of blood, in hues of purple-black.
Though this Taichu Centipede mainly had Taichu Law on it, its essence still had various intersecting laws, with toxins extremely terrifying.
In the previous battle, Jiang Shu continuously used the Power of Great Dao to forcibly suppress these toxins, and now, finally had the time to heal them one by one.
He sat cross-legged, with power surging through his three hundred sixty-five acupoints, blood oozing from his pores, layers of purple-black toxins seeping from his skin.
Purple-black flickered in his eyes too.
He needed time to alleviate.
But there was also a shortcut available.
That was to absorb the Taichu Law before him.
Jiang Shu looked around, finding no life here.
It was one of the few pure lands, yet Jiang Shu dared not linger in cultivation here, directly plunging into the abyss.
Wrapped in chaotic thunderfire, Jiang Shu plunged into the abyss, and behind him, countless skulls suddenly erupted in sharp screams.
Dark green liquids merged into ghostly hands clinging forward, yet upon touching the thunderfire, they transformed into foul green smoke.
He crushed three Void Crystal Cores between his fingers, the Swallowing Sky Mirror burst with dark light that instantly surged, forming nine-layered barrier beside him.
"Crack."
The boot crushed a half piece of a Dragon Clan skull, the resentment rising from the purple-gold fragments dimmed even the chaotic thunderfire by three degrees.
Jiang Shu’s pupils contracted slightly, his Demon Halberd swept horizontally, tracing a dark gold arc, cutting through the piled layers of decay ahead.
Amid the severed viscous matter, milk-white maggots poured forth, engraved with miniature Taichu Law patterns on their abdomen!
"Yin Soul that lingers endlessly."
The Chaos Thunder Pool cascaded down, its thunder liquid scoured the abyss’s bottom into fumes of smoke-filled trenches.
Jiang Shu followed the direction illuminated by thunderfire, seeing a hundred feet away the rock layers split into a natural cavern, where stalactites hanging from the cave’s ceiling gave off ice crystal-like law fragments.
He threw thirteen Array Flags in reverse, the Taotie apparitions rising from the flag surface devoured all the pursuing maggots.
As Jiang Shu gradually advanced, he noticed the cavern space was indeed large, with a pool of frozen Cold Pond on the ground, looked as if a mirror, within it swam some semi-transparent fish, finger-length, making the territory not completely dark, and not invisible.
Within the cavern echoed the crisp sound of water droplets falling into the Cold Pond.
Jiang Shu sat cross-legged on the Xuanwu Rock at the center of the Cold Pond, the Taichu Law floating in his palm suddenly trembled.
Dark gold streams of light broke free, weaving around him the illusion realm of three thousand worlds perishing.
The reflections in the pond overlapped reality, even making Jiang Shu’s thunder armor emit a strainful wail under the burden.
"Seal!"
The Chaos Thunder Pool collapsed noisily, transforming into a thunder melting furnace three inches in diameter.
Jiang Shu bit through his tongue tip to spray essence blood, the moment the blood droplets touched the Law Origin, the infant cry of the Taichu Centipede pierced the void and erupted in the cavern.
Ice crystal fragments on the rock wall fell one by one, each transforming into miniaturized centipede phantoms mid-air.
The Demon Halberd suddenly awoke on its own, thirteen black hole vortices on the halberd blade spun in reverse.
Behind Jiang Shu appeared the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Phenomenon, the Gang Wind lifted by demon wings shredded incoming centipede phantoms into light dust.
Seizing the opportunity, he pressed the Taichu Law into his Dantian, and instantly his body pores sprayed a chaotic stream of dark gold and pitch black intertwined law.
This Taichu Law, unknowingly present in the body of this Taichu Centipede for how long, had already become its shadow.
"Boom!"
The cavern dome revealed All Heaven Stars, the pond water boiled into a Yin Yang Fish pattern.
Within Jiang Shu’s Dantian, the Taichu Law transformed into a swimming dragon and the Devouring Law condensed into a Profound Turtle tangled fiercely.
The Chaos Thunder Pool squeezed by two mighty powers nearly ruptured, the surface of the thunder melting furnace was covered with web-like cracks.
It resisted becoming part of Jiang Shu, struggling desperately.
"Fuse!"
On Jiang Shu’s arms appeared chains embodied by the Law of Power, forcibly dragging the swimming dragon and Profound Turtle towards the thunder pool.
The chaotic aura erupted inside the furnace made both laws tremble simultaneously, the dragon’s reversed scale stood erect, the turtle’s shell shattered, yet under the roasting of thunder liquid gradually fused into a Tai Chi vortex.
Outside the cavern suddenly came the giant sound of tumbling rocks.
At the abyss’s bottom, honeycombed holes collectively erupted, within the dark green torrent of foul air emerged the remnant skull of the Taichu Centipede.
That skull held a bronze chain between its fangs, and at the end of the chain was Jiang Shu’s corroded life soul projection!
"A backup plan?!"
Jiang Shu sneered coldly, the reversing Tai Chi vortex around him suddenly swelled.
Within the cavern, the devouring law condensed ghastly black hole abruptly expanded tenfold, his blood-stained robe fluttered violently in the Gang Wind, at the hair tips faint glows of stars extinguishing began to appear.
