Chapter 1052: Chapter 568: The Taichu Dao Reveals Its Might
"Impossible!"
"What is this?!"
"Did you think I allowed you to set up the formation for no reason?"
Jiang Shu teleported in front of Zheng Huanglie, his palm fiercely pressing down on the heavenly spirit of the opponent!
"Ever since you cast the first Nirvana Fire, everything about you has been under my control."
This is the subtle influence of the Taichu Dao gradually affecting Huanglie’s Nirvana Fire.
A devouring black hole erupted from his palm, and the protective golden flames around Zheng Huanglie surged into the black hole like swallows returning to their nests.
Even more terrifying, the devoured flames gradually revealed faint Phoenix Dao Patterns, which turned out to be the core inheritance of the Phoenix Clan!
"Stop!"
Zheng Huanglie’s eyes were about to split, yet he found that he couldn’t even self-detonate.
Every inch of his flesh was soaked in Taichu Dao Rhyme, forcibly being reverted to the most primitive Life Essence Qi.
The battle was decided.
On the battlefield thousands of miles away, the surviving Phoenix Guards suddenly let out a collective wail.
Their Phoenix Wings uncontrollably flew away from their bodies, turning into streams of light that disappeared into the chaotic vortex behind Jiang Shu.
Endless spatial fluctuations spread outward like shockwaves.
Every space was annihilated.
"Master!"
A Phoenix Guard Commander forcibly broke through the battle formation trying to offer aid, only to be slapped into pulp by an Elder who had just entered the Vientiane Late Stage.
The palm’s force didn’t decrease, slicing one of the Demon Monarchs in the array behind him in half.
Jiang Shu’s devouring had reached a critical moment.
Huanglie’s handsome face was covered in cracks, beneath the skin no longer flesh, but flowing liquid fire adorned with red-gold runes.
When the last drop of Lifebound Essence Blood was extracted, he heard the most despairing judgment of his life:
"It turns out the mystery of the Phoenix Nirvana lies in the chaotic fire seed imprinted within the bloodline."
Fragments of the Desolate Star Halberd suddenly returned from the Void, instantly reassembling in Jiang Shu’s hand. At that moment, the tip of the halberd lit up with pure Nirvana True Fire.
This flame had no trace of violent aura; instead, it exuded the Taichu Dao Rhyme of all things’ initial creation.
In Zheng Huanglie’s last sight, he saw his own disappearing, glazed-like body.
"No!"
Before the words finished, a dim axe light swept across the battlefield.
Jiang Shu punched again, cleaving the Chaos Phoenix Claw into two.
An ancient phoenix’s angry screech shook the sea surface thousands of miles, yet upon touching the present world’s barrier, it was dissipated into nothingness by millions of Returning Ruins Patterns.
When the last spark vanished, the Nirvana True Fire on the Desolate Star Halberd suddenly expanded, condensing into a lifelike phoenix relief on its shaft.
Jiang Shu swept the halberd horizontally, the Nirvana Fire imbued with Taichu Dao Rhyme fanned out, turning all Demon Race soldiers’ armor into fly ash wherever it passed.
"Master... defeated?"
A Demon Race powerhouse paused amidst clashing with a Purple-robed Elder, a flaw caught instantly by the Four Symbols Battle Formation.
The moment the Green Dragon Illusion pierced his chest, the White Tiger’s Sharp Claw had already ripped his Primordial Spirit into pieces.
The defeat cascaded like a mountain collapsing.
Lost of their backbone, the Demon Race army began to flee in chaos, but the Human Clan’s battle formation had long sealed all directions.
The Thunder Shock Daoist Monarch’s dual blades brought blood and chaos with every strike, while the Four Symbols Battle Formation turned into a grinding plate of flesh.
The most terrifying was the Chaos Grinding Plate hovering behind Jiang Shu, where any Demon Race caught in it had even their Primordial Spirit reverted into pure energy.
Three days later, a blood-red moon reflected on the sea.
Jiang Shu stood on the only intact reef, playing with the red-gold crystal refined from Zheng Huanglie’s remnants in his hand.
The Demon Race remnants floating on the distant sea surface were being slowly devoured by the Chaos Grinding Plate, these energies to be refined into supplies and sent back to the Human Clan’s camp.
"This battle annihilated five Demon Monarchs and three hundred sixty Transformed Demons of the Demon Race."
The Thunder Shock Daoist Monarch wiped the blood from his dual blades, excitement flickering in his eyes.
"With this battle, seven or eight tenths of the Northern Domain Chaotic Demon Sea’s elite Demon Race forces are wiped out!"
The Purple-robed Elder looked at the newly formed phoenix relief on Jiang Shu’s halberd, hesitating to speak.
The Nirvana Fire infused with Taichu Aura made him think of a certain legend circulated within the Demon Race.
It’s said the pure bloodline of the True Phoenix Clan can undergo Nirvana Rebirth through Nirvana Fire, and if their Nirvana Fire is taken by someone else after they die, that True Phoenix True Spirit can absorb that person’s life essence, reviving and possessing, extremely powerful.
"Rest assured."
Jiang Shu flicked the halberd with his fingers, the phoenix relief emit a clear cry.
"The Nirvana Fire Seed has been purified by the Taichu Dao, even if it undergoes Nirvana again, it is ultimately a Demon Monarch, not a Demon Venerable."
Taichu Dao!
The old man couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Taichu Dao is too powerful and extremely mysterious; to this day, without any fixed cultivation method.
Even in the Cang Mang Domain, it hasn’t been heard of for a long time.
The Deputy Sect Master indeed has flourishing fortune, even comprehending such a Dao.
The sea breeze lifted his blood-stained robe, the Chaos Grinding Plate behind him inhaling and exhaling the last batch of Demon Race remnants.
As the blood moon ascended to the zenith, Returning Ruins Patterns suddenly intertwined on the sea, forming a massive Transmission Array Map.
"Next place."
Jiang Shu’s voice still echoed, he gently reached out his hand, gathering the spirit fragments of Huanglie’s remnants, his eyes shining brightly, discerning the intelligence among these fragmented memories. Finally, with a gesture, before him appeared a Water Mirror, showing details of the Chaotic Demon Sea map, with thirty-six light spots flickering.
If Hu Yi could see this Water Mirror, he would find those light spots almost fully overlapped with the intelligence he disseminated.
It seems the intelligence network established by the Fox People Clan indeed has its merits.
The place they had just arrived at was an important base of the Demon Race in the Chaotic Demon Sea.
