Chapter 1068: Chapter 576: Master’s Worry, A Thread of Mystic Yellow Mother Qi
The voice of Heaven-Burning Demon Venerable echoed throughout heaven and earth.
In Jiang Shu’s arms, the Star Track Compass had already shattered, and the Mystic Yellow Mother Qi bestowed by the Supreme Sect Leader of the Creation Sect was unleashed, burrowing into the altar, causing the entire Magma Lake to swirl and roll back into nine Fire Dragons!
The True Flame Spirit Marrow, transformed by the Chaos Thunder Pool, was now entwined with Taichu Dao Rhyme, pouncing toward Heaven-Burning Demon Venerable.
Only for a fleeting moment.
"Boom!"
All nine dragon forms simultaneously detonated, Jiang Shu soared into the sky from the collapsing altar, with the grey axe light condensed by his fist wind being more solid than ever.
More importantly, before this axe light, layers of space fluctuations emerged.
Panwu Heaven Opening Axe!
During the pursuit by Heaven-Burning Demon Venerable, Jiang Shu had gained a new understanding of the Space Dao.
Heaven Opening, in itself, is also about creating space.
In here, there are traces of the Space Dao.
The moment the axe light split the magma waterfall, Jiang Shu saw shock flash in Heaven-Burning Demon Venerable’s eyes.
This level of slaughter, obviously, was no longer something an ordinary Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm could wield!
"Bang!"
The axe light fiercely struck Heaven-Burning Demon Venerable’s golden wings, the recoil force brought by the light of the Great Dao shattered all the bones in Jiang Shu’s right arm, sending his entire body flying backward toward the magma.
But in his gaze, there was not a hint of despair.
Rather, there was a flash of delight, for in that strike, he saw clearly that the injury he inflicted even made Heaven-Burning Demon Venerable frown!
The Chaos Thunder Pool enveloped him, dragging him toward the heart of the earth.
Before consciousness plunged into darkness, Jiang Shu shattered a Jade Talisman given by his master.
This Jade Talisman did not have much of a function, but at this moment, it could report that he was safe.
In the distance.
Chaotic Demon Sea.
While re-refining a broken Dao Artifact, Purple Extreme Daoist Venerable suddenly furrowed his brows, as the Jade Talisman in his embrace was unexpectedly shattered.
"Master, what’s wrong?"
"Has something happened to junior brother?"
Ruyi Monarch, assisting his master in refining the Dao Artifact, with just one glance, saw that his master’s expression might have encountered something significant.
Even someone like him, who was only focused on Alchemy and Artifact Refining, knew that if something happened to their junior brother, it meant a lot.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Purple Extreme Daoist Venerable clearly had no intention of explaining.
Just as Ruyi Monarch was about to rise, Purple Extreme Daoist Venerable disappeared from his original location.
When he appeared again, Purple Extreme Daoist Venerable was in a shadowy chamber.
This chamber was located within a Dao Artifact.
This Dao Artifact had no offensive capabilities; its only peculiarity was this independent small space, extremely stable, even a Daoist Venerable could not destroy it.
Inside, placed were flickering Life Lamps.
Some were vibrant, resembling flames, indicating the owner of this Life Lamp was currently very healthy, with good cultivation.
Others were dim, as if they might vanish the next second.
Judging by its container, this seemed to have been established recently.
Placed in a very prominent position, representing his status in the Sect.
This was Jiang Shu, currently within the Demon Domain’s interior.
"Fortunately, he’s still alive."
"Could it be that he has encountered the Demon Venerable?"
...
Three thousand feet deep beneath the Magma Lake, on the surface of the cocoon enveloped by Mystic Yellow Mother Qi, flowed dark gold Dao Patterns.
Jiang Shu curled up inside the cocoon, each breath bringing forth fine sparks, remnants of Nirvana True Fire left by Heaven-Burning Demon Venerable burning his vital organs.
The Chaos Thunder Pool hovered overhead, the small hands of the Three Holy Embryos formed different Dharma Seals.
One, holding the Devouring Dao, palm facing upward, voraciously swallowed the raging external Fire Spirit Qi.
The embryo of the Life and Death Dao combined its fingers, refining impurities into life breath.
One Holy Embryo, holding Taichu Dao, embraced Yin and Yang, harmonizing three distinct energies.
Crack!
A crisp sound came from Jiang Shu’s right arm.
The surface of the glass-like bones fractured with web-like fissures, Mystic Yellow Mother Qi immediately transformed into liquid gold threads seeping into the gaps.
Deep in the bone marrow, Dragon Clan Essence Blood and Phoenix True Flame continued their showdown, each collision exploding tiny gold-red sparks.
The Three Holy Embryos suddenly opened their eyes, Taichu Dao Rhyme falling like spring rain, the two mighty bloodlines finally ceased their strife, reaching a subtle balance within the hazy air stream.
Who knows how much time passed, Jiang Shu slowly opened his eyes.
What he saw was all crimson magma, yet in his perception, it was very gentle, like hot springs, invigorating his spirit.
"Still alive..."
Jiang Shu sighed lightly.
The disparity between himself and Heaven-Burning Demon Venerable was indeed vast; even exhausting all his resources could not resist it.
If not for the many life-saving items bestowed upon him by the Supreme Sect Leader of the Eight Great Sects when he left, he might have resorted to the Two Realms Shuttle to flee.
However, evidently, his fortune was consistently good; although most of his trump cards were played, the battle with the Demon Venerable benefited him greatly.
Delving into the Demon Race, he also disrupted some of their arrangements.
Now, if he wished, he could directly return to the Deep Space Sea.
"Can’t underestimate these ancient old monsters no matter how long they’ve lived."
Jiang Shu stretched his body, finding that the injuries within him had mostly healed, even the injuries in his veins showed signs of recovery.
"The effect of a wisp of Mystic Yellow Mother Qi is indeed extraordinary, even the body sustained from battle with Demon Venerable could recover some, sparing me the Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill, which I could reserve for later."
The Nirvana Fire burned fiercely within him, upon first entering the Vientiane Realm, Jiang Shu had comprehended the Five Elements Dao. After perceiving the Fire Dao, now in the magma, he not only advanced another step but even realized the Nirvana Dao from the Fire Dao and Life Dao.
