Chapter 1037: Chapter 560: Clash of the Geniuses! One Strike to Capture and Kill!
"Arrogant!"
From among the ancient creatures observing the battle came a fierce shout:
"Do you know who his grandfather is?!"
"Those who kill shall be killed, I don’t care who he is!"
Three hundred and sixty-five acupoints on Jiang Shu’s body surged, his hair flying wildly behind him.
Respect has always been earned through battle!
Unlike these ancient creatures, he had no backing.
All he could rely on was his own peerless battle power!
The sharp teeth of the Chaos Thunder Flood Dragon had already shattered the azure Spiritual Sense. Jiang Shu tossed away the sparking parts in his hand, and as he turned, the vision of a galaxy being obliterated reflected in his pupils.
"Tell me again, who is his grandfather?!"
So audacious!
The entire abyss fell into dead silence, with only the clattering sound of solidifying liquid metal.
The remaining six from the Sword Pavilion suddenly slashed their wrists, drawing complex talismans on their sword blades with their blood.
Three thousand Sword Tombs cracked open in the void, each grave emitting sword qi that spanned across heaven and earth.
These sword qis intertwined, forming a Sword Dao Domain covering thousands of miles above the abyss.
Every particle of dust within the domain transformed into a Sword Embryo, screaming as they pierced towards Jiang Shu at the center.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"
The sword cultivator in a green robe roared, spraying his Lifebound Essence Blood onto the sword blade, when countless White Bone Sword Slaves suddenly climbed out from the Sword Tombs.
These sword slaves had sword-shaped hearts beating within their chest cavities, leaving a burning sword mark on the ground with each step they took.
Behind Jiang Shu, the Taichu Daoist Embryo manifested as a Heaven Opening Giant, and the moment the giant grasped the Demon Halberd, the blade expanded a thousandfold, its surface revealing patterns similar to those of the Deep Space Gate.
"Break!"
The halberd blade struck the weakest Dao Rhyme node in the river of sword qi, causing the entire Sword Dao Domain to suddenly distort.
Jiang Shu’s left eye transformed into a devouring black hole, while his right eye radiated Taichu divine light, dismantling a million sword qis into primitive Dao Patterns with each breath.
Before these Dao Patterns could reorganize, they were swallowed by the Chaos Thunder Flood Dragon, which then grew a sword-shaped horn on its forehead.
"Impossible!"
The six disciples staggered backwards, their swords shattering inch by inch,
"How can you do this?!"
At the instant when the Demon Halberd was held against the green-robed sword cultivator’s throat, a crisp sound of space tearing emerged from the bottom of the abyss.
Jian Changge, wrapped in bandages, stepped out from a sea of blood, with sword qi lotus flowers blooming under his feet at each step.
The black blood dripping from his Broken Sword corroded into miniature black holes, and amidst the vision of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood that manifested behind him, the head of the Sword Pavilion’s ancestor’s statue could be vaguely seen.
"Such a lively scene."
Jian Changge tilted his head, revealing scarlet pupils between the bandage gaps, casually severing the lifebound connections of the six Sword Pavilion disciples, looking at them with mocking disdain.
"My dear junior brothers, why aren’t you greeting your senior brother?"
As soon as his words fell, the space behind him was again shaken, as a pair of Iron Fists emerged from the void, striking at the center of the crowd, forcing them to retreat explosively, kicking up a cloud of dust, and two figures appeared before everyone.
"I’ve heard that someone wants to harm my brothers?!"
Zhan Feng, clad in heavy armor and shouldering a Bronze Battle Axe, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, coldly swept his gaze around and laughed,
"Attacking my War Alliance disciples without questioning the cause, aren’t you disregarding the War Alliance too much?"
Jian Changge was initially taken aback by these words before realizing that something he wasn’t aware of might have happened recently, and opted to say no more, only folding his arms and watching the Sword Pavilion disciples with fearful expressions, then glancing at the distant space with a playful, dismissive smile on his lips.
The metallic humming above the abyss suddenly became sharply piercing.
The chest armor of the Mechanical Clan experts suddenly exploded, countless precise gears pouring down like a storm, coalescing into an ancient bronze totem in mid-air.
In the center of the totem, a space-time vortex cracked open, from which a rust-covered metal giant hand reached out, its palm lit with a dark red code stream.
"Welcome, Ancestral Artifact!"
Mechanical Clan members shouted in unison, as the liquid metal chains suddenly recoiled, weaving a poetic mural of the birth of mechanical civilization in the void.
Jiang Shu’s pupils contracted, as the giant hand grasped a woman who looked exactly like a human, overlooking the scene below.
He had seen this woman in records, said to be an ancient creature of the Mechanical Clan with extremely powerful abilities, but no one had ever witnessed her in action, only knowing that with just a glance, she caused a mighty Supreme Genius to develop a Heart Demon, preventing him from participating in the selection this time.
What had happened?
To gather so many geniuses and ancient creatures here?
On Zhan Feng’s shoulders, the Bronze Battle Axe trembled and hummed, the battle intent emanating from the axe blade tearing open a gap in the metallic flood: "It’s one of the sleeping matrices of the Mechanical Clan, these lunatics even brought out the Ancestral Artifact!"
The ancestor of the Mechanical Clan was a piece of metal, who upon gaining Spiritual Wisdom formed one of the Mechanical Clan and then transformed into thousands, lurking everywhere, traveling.
Unexpectedly, it appeared in this place!
Jian Changge swung his Broken Sword sideways, black blood seeping from the bandage gaps.
"This thing gnawed on the Star Domain barrier twenty thousand years ago, beware of its radiation!"
Before his voice fell, dark matter floods suddenly surged from the void missing between heaven and earth.
The Desolate Star Halberd in Jiang Shu’s hand woke spontaneously, with thirteen black hole vortices rotating reversely, newly born Taichu Laws condensing into gray glowing points at the halberd tip.
He clearly felt that beneath the matrix’s skin lay a combination of laws that transcended this era.
"Jiang Shu, you are worthy of becoming my follower."
The matrix’s voice bore no hint of electronic flow, as its eyes resembling glass looked towards Jiang Shu, without any emotion in tone.
"Flesh is weak, mechanical ascension!"
"You should abandon this frail body and embrace a brighter era!"
The matrix’s voice grew increasingly passionate, as if already beholding an era full of metal life.
But what greeted it was only a giant axe blade reaching up to the heavens and down to the earth.
"Cold metal, how can it compare to the infinite mysteries of the human body?!"
Humans were born weak, but over boundless years they grew to become one of the strongest races in the cosmos, unmatched by soulless metals. If the Mechanical Clan’s so-called mechanical ascension was truly this powerful, the Mechanical Clan would have long dominated the Star Ruins Realm.
"Hahaha, well said!"
Zhan Feng and Zhan Yun laughed together, as their immense Essence Blood surged, transforming into myriad visions flashing in the void.
"Things have come to this, there’s no point in talking more, let the hands show the truth!"
Seeing more and more talented elites appearing on the scene, the blood of battle within them had long been uncontrollably shaking.
"Short-sighted."
The matrix saw Jiang Shu’s stubbornness and immediately snorted coldly, as a metal giant hand emerged from the shattered void upon a single thought, colliding with the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe, unleashing boundless Dao Rhyme ripples, sweeping majestically into the distance, shattering space.
Heavenly Thunder surged, flames burned the heaven.
Zhan Feng and Jian Changge clashed together. Jian Changge, already injured, was not originally Zhan Feng’s match, spat large mouthfuls of blood under the assault.
Bei Jue also appeared, quickly assessing the current situation when he arrived, immediately joining the camp where Jiang Shu stood, with a phantom of a Heavenly Snake flickering behind him, disturbing everyone’s minds.
Many Supreme Geniuses and ancient creatures did not take sides, merely wanting to compete with these peers to see who was stronger.
They shattered the sky, shattered the ground, innumerable lightning cascaded down the Thunder Layer above, being restrained by Jiang Shu, who transformed into a dragon, becoming Thunder Chains wrapped around him, and more became Thunder Battle Generals, marching far away to slay.
Many wanted to target Jiang Shu, but most were thwarted by the Thunder Battle Generals and ruthlessly slain.
If they wanted to target Jiang Shu, they would have to bear the corresponding costs.
In the outer world, Divine Thoughts carrying strong auras communicated with each other.
"Not good, we have underestimated these young people of this era, the power struggle among them has become too intense, the Secret Realm won’t hold for long!"
