Chapter 1042: Chapter 563: Advancement to Vientiane Realm Late Stage! Return to the Chaotic Demon Sea!
Jiang Shu opened his eyes, forcibly suppressing the demon influence within the Desolate Star Halberd with his righteous Dao Heart.
This Big Halberd itself was a weapon of the Great Demon, stained with endless blood.
Jiang Shu had no doubt that if this Desolate Star Halberd escaped his control, it would certainly stir up a storm of bloodshed in the Star Ruins Realm.
It was only because Jiang Shu’s Dao Heart was firm, and he practiced the Law of Power, which believes strongly in one’s own invincibility, that he was not swayed by the influence of the Desolate Star Halberd into becoming a Great Demon.
Yet, it was in this tempering that Jiang Shu’s mental acuity became increasingly complete.
Moreover, it was at this time that he transformed the Returning Ruins Heaven-Seizing Technique into a Halberd Technique, further enhancing his control over the Desolate Star Halberd.
"Now at the Vientiane Realm Late Stage, if that black slippery eel confronted me now, it would perish in my hands in a few moves."
Behind Jiang Shu, the Dragon Phase Dao buzzed as if in agreement.
He flipped his hand to take out a long bone resembling a sharp blade, feeling an exceptionally covert soul anchor trembling within it.
"After all, it’s still a powerful late-stage Demon Monarch, not using it would be a waste."
The Great Cutting Demon Bone was obtained by Jiang Shu soon after he advanced to the Daoist Monarch Realm by slaying the old Sen Hu, containing the Complete Cutting Dao, allowing Jiang Shu to perfectly comprehend it in a remarkably short time.
In due course, once Jiang Shu comprehends the Cutting Dao to the utmost, it will trigger the soul anchor of the fierce beast within the Great Cutting Demon Bone, reviving it in a certain sense, making the direct possession of Jiang Shu’s body possible.
But Jiang Shu’s speed of breaking realms was incredibly fast.
In such a short period, he broke through realms continually, and at this Vientiane Late Stage, not to mention the fierce beast whose consciousness just revived through the anchor, even at its peak, facing Jiang Shu’s heaven-defying combat power, it dare not claim an assured victory despite being a Demon Monarch peak entity.
Yet, a period passed without Jiang Shu perceiving its revival.
This brought it a sigh of relief, yet it couldn’t help but sprout a greedy notion in its heart.
What if... it could seize the body?
It wasn’t until now that it realized Jiang Shu wasn’t unaware of its revival, but deemed it too weak to even pose a threat.
Until he dealt with pressing matters at hand, he would come to destroy it.
"No... Don’t kill me!"
A muted plea sparkled within the Great Cutting Demon Bone.
Yet, Jiang Shu gave it no chance to plead, reaching out to grab it and obliterate its divine sense, forming it into a spectral, hazy elixir, swallowing it in one gulp.
With the laws of devouring, desolation, and primordial, Jiang Shu attained a realm where he could devour all for self-enhancement, not just a mindless soul, even stones could increment his realm when amassed sufficiently.
Sitting in the vortex center of the Land of Returning Ruins, Jiang Shu’s fingertips caressed the glowing bone.
"I should head back for a look."
The Chaos Thunder Pool flashed into his brow, as Jiang Shu stood, slowly walked forward, disappearing in an instant.
The next moment, he appeared deep within the Chaotic Demon Sea, where both water and demon beasts instinctively avoided him, as if unseen.
Meanwhile, in the Deep Space Sea, a vague figure snapped open its eyes, frowning, hands calculating repeatedly yet failing to derive a desired answer.
"Vanished..."
"Seems Jiang Shu possesses some secret technique or supreme treasure shrouding heavenly secrets."
...
The Chaotic Demon Sea, long served as a crucial buffer between the Vast Domain of the Human Clan and the Demon Domain of the Demon Race, teeming with perilous undercurrents in the ocean depths.
As Jiang Shu emerged from the water, arriving above the Chaotic Demon Sea, he surprisingly couldn’t recognize his current location.
He recalled that this place originally held a substantial island.
After a fierce battle with a Demon Venerable Avatar, within the Demon Domain, he casually sought a secure spot to tear space and return to the cosmos. During this, he returned once to move his position to the Chaotic Demon Sea, quickly comprehending the situation before returning to the Eternal Tower.
Yet now, the island had vanished as if an invisible hand erased it.
He delved into the abyss, seeing a vast, mirror-like smoothness laden with powerful Sword Intent even Jiang Shu found astounding.
This was the work of a Daoist Venerable from the Hidden Sword Sect, forcibly slicing away the island, subjugating the ocean’s undercurrents with its mighty Sword Intent, and forging a safe passage!
"Even Daoist Venerables are getting personally involved?"
"Looks like this battle series is advancing to another level."
The Daoist Venerables are the strongest in this realm, the foundation of any force, only stirred by matters concerning the survival of clans or races, yet now they remain engaged simply to forge a safe passage, evidencing significant efforts from the Human Clan in the Chaotic Demon Sea.
"Before coming I thought of finding a way to return, yet now they’ve reached here."
With a smile on his face, Jiang Shu unleashed an overwhelming divine sense.
Discovering no trace of the Human Clan, yet finding several stealthy Demon Race figures cautiously advancing, veiled in mist isolating divine sense detection.
