Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Chapter 1147: Chapter 615: A Brand-New Law, the Method to Break the Deadlock (Part 2)

Lan Xi’s vacant gaze slightly focused, looking towards the direction of the wave’s origin, and his body stopped trembling.

The only trace of vitality emerging from the desperate situation instantly reignited the near-extinguished fighting spirit of this ragtag group.

"That kid... he..."

Zhan Feng grinned as if to laugh, but it tugged at his wound, causing him to grimace in pain, yet the light in his eyes grew ever brighter.

"Does he know we’re still alive, is he causing a big stir to lead us over?"

"Let’s go!!"

He forcefully lifted the heavy war axe, ignoring the intense pain from his severed arm, and roared with all his might.

The center of the storm, murder intent boiled over.

In the basin, dark red filthy energy surged violently, and the thick blood mist had long been scattered by an even more frenzied power.

The ground was littered with countless shattered bone armors and melting dismembered limbs, resembling Asura Hell.

Jiang Shu’s Desolate Star Halberd was like King Yan’s pen, each strike precisely piercing the core of a figure, be it the head or the node of energy flow.

He had deliberately restrained part of his power, merely maintaining it at a level efficient enough for slaughter.

Among the figures he slew, the strongest aura was already approaching the Tenth Realm Late Stage.

When yet another Tenth Realm Middle Stage figure, covered completely in scale-like bone armor, was torn through the chest by the Desolate Star Halberd, Jiang Shu at last sensed something amiss.

This demon soldier, at the moment its body was torn apart, did not spew filthy energy from the torso; within its core, a nearly imperceptible strand of faint green light flashed and vanished.

The light was extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, yet it contained a trace of extremely pure intent of generation and continuation almost like Dao Origin, starkly different from the surrounding world’s filthy will.

At the moment that speck of light extinguished, all the Combat Instinct, agility, and power contained in the demon soldier image instantly collapsed and vanished.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Shu’s heart suddenly jolted.

These figures, the reason they were as agile as living creatures, their movements carried a touch of combat skill techniques, and even some high-rank individuals revealed faint abilities of learning and cooperation. The key was obviously the infusion of the world’s will.

His body moved like the wind, avoiding several energy beams coming from the side, the Desolate Star Halberd traced a mysterious arc in the air, precisely striking the Heavenly Spirit Cover of a diminutive shadow soldier attempting to ambush his ankle from the ground.

"Pfft" a dull thud sounded, and the entire upper body of the shadow soldier exploded like a watermelon hit by a heavy hammer, Dao Yun shattered, remnants scattered.

However, deep within those shattered bone fragments flowing with dark green viscous fluid, Jiang Shu’s keen Spatial Divine Thought captured several extremely slender, hair-like, nearly invisible strands of faint gold thread quickly dissipating.

These threads, before dispersing, faintly retained a kind of Dao Rhyme fluctuation of "gathering and dispersing at will, structure transformation"!

This fluctuation also carried a kind of perpetual internal rhythm.

It seemed these threads maintained the shadow soldier’s form stability and explosive force.

Jiang Shu’s gaze instantly turned as sharp as an eagle’s.

Previously, while battling countless figures, his mind was tense amid life and death, coupled with seeing them for the first time, though he felt their peculiarities, he never delved into their fundamental structure.

Now, with intentional attention combined with the recent two discoveries, a startling conjecture surfaced in his mind.

The filthy evil qi and stagnant law within these figures were merely external driving energy and the manifestation of destructive will.

What supported these twisted bodies formed from the wreckage and shattered bones of the Ancient Battlefield, which could fight so agilely, was another entirely different, hidden beneath the filth, Dao Yun power!

The nature of this power surprisingly contained an extremely high-level true meaning of the law of living eternally.

It seemed like a more foundational existence law, supporting these images living in a world filled with malevolence!

This was too bizarre.

Within an embryo world filled with decay and death, the foundation nurturing the images was unexpectedly a vibrant vitality.

Though buried and twisted by decaying energy, its core nature could not deceive his keen insight!

To find Zhan Feng and the others as quickly as possible, causing a world-shaking commotion would be the best guiding beacon.

The further discovery made Jiang Shu alter his strategy.

He needed a more complete sample.

It couldn’t be a shattered core nor too low rank of a shadow soldier.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Three shadow soldiers with fierce momentum came down in a triangle formation, the leader’s aura had reached the Peak of the Tenth Realm!

It was the one previously sensed as nearing late stage.

Its form resembled a terrifying giant mantis, its forearms were massive bone blades forged into a dark gold color, slicing through space with a shrill howl.

The other two were about Tenth Realm Middle Stage, emitting sharp cries that disrupted the Divine Soul from left and right.

Jiang Shu’s eyes flashed with icy light.

He didn’t dodge; facing the twin bone blades capable of cleaving mountains, he actually gathered himself and left hand spread its fingers, the entire arm instantly turned to a deep bronze color, covered by countless tiny Space Ripples, boldly meeting the descending blades.

A booming sound like heavy bells resounded throughout the basin.

The violent collision force formed a tangible shockwave spreading outward, even lifting the thick black mud on the ground instantly.

The Mantis Shadow Soldier of Peak Tenth Realm’s arms shook fiercely, its skeletal armored limbs unexpectedly emitted a subtle cracking sound, its form was slightly forced to lean back by immense force, its scarlet eye sockets flashed a trace of disbelief and fear.

The opponent using flesh and blood to withstand its Divine Weapon?!

This is the moment!

In the instant of the clash, Jiang Shu’s right hand silently sent out the Desolate Star Halberd.

The Halberd Tip did not stab towards the Mantis image’s head or chest—the seeming vital points—but instead, as if penetrating space’s barrier, precisely pinpointed the connection seam of the thickest scale armor at its belly central!

Crack!

The pinpointed heavy scale armor shattered into countless fragments on cue.

But the Halberd Tip did not contain an explosive force enough to directly destroy, rather a power condensed to the extreme of Space Imprisonment.

This power, like a venomous snake, instantly drilled into the Mantis image’s body, bypassing the raging fierce evil qi, precisely entwining and locking onto its hidden yet stable peculiar Dao Yun node within the Energy Core’s depths.

That very point emitting faint vitality and structural power was the core.

This was Space Law’s precise "point-to-point" lockdown.

Moreover, it was the terrifying control power brought by the spatial imprint bestowed upon the repaired Desolate Star Halberd.

"Roar!"

The Mantis image let out an unprecedented howl of pain and terror.

Its enormous body seemed to lose all support instantly, its violent power, agile movements, and keen spiritual wisdom were like having its backbone ripped out, collapsing with a boom.

Its enormous body shook violently like a sieve, the orderly flowing filthy energy within immediately lost control and rampaged chaotically, countless pustules swelling beneath its skin, ready to explode at any moment.

And its sharp bone blades fell limply.

The foundation of its existence was instantly nailed and frozen.

The other two shadow soldiers, poised to pounce, were shocked into pause by this sudden turn of events.

Jiang Shu didn’t glance at them.

His figure flickered, dodging several hurried assaults coming from the side, the Desolate Star Halberd transformed into streams of light like sturdy ropes, securely binding the mantis shadow soldier which had lost the ability to resist.

The Space Runes on the Halberd lit up, forming a temporary imprisonment cage, trapping the struggling and howling yet powerless to break free shadow soldier inside.

Having done all this, Jiang Shu finally turned to face the other figures, their expressions filled with doubt and determination, already encircled him.

His aura suddenly surged, the Desolate Star Halberd releasing a deep dragon roar echoing across the basin, infused with a fierce will to pierce all spaces, shatter all things.

In an instant, the gigantic force of spatial compression and the bloodthirsty murderous Qi, like substantial shockwaves, swept out.

Thunk!

The Tenth Realm Early Stage or Middle Stage shadow soldiers were shaken in mind and spirit by this dual-law dignity imbued roar, as if struck heavily, they staggered backward, their eyes flashing with the crimson glow of fear.
