Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Chapter 1170: Chapter 623: A Monumental Opportunity! Saint’s Path!

The five-fingered mountain flipped and descended, hidden beneath the intense offensive were various Protective Dao Yun.

He wanted to forcibly envelop and suppress the weightless area of the two disciples.

Entering the Saint Tomb, Venerable Duan Yue’s goal had always been clear, when encountering danger, the first thing to do is to save people. The immediate priority is to stabilize the chaotic space!

"Venerable, be careful!"

Jiang Shu keenly sensed a faint killing intent arising from the chaotic shadow behind the crack the moment the gravity trap was triggered, and the suction of the space fissure erupted, targeting the spell-casting, rescuing Venerable Duan Yue.

But his warning was ultimately a moment too late.

A dark shadow, accompanied by a silent sonic boom, flashed from the chaotic light behind the space fissure with lightning speed.

Its target was the faint core of the Law exposed by the five-fingered mountain of Venerable Duan Yue.

This trap was a chain killing move against the rescuer!

The speed of that shadow was astonishingly fast, its massive body almost blending into the chaotic space in the background, revealing its true form only upon nearing.

It was a strange creature resembling a giant lizard!

Its entire body was covered with dark, heavy bone armor similar to some kind of metamorphic jade, naturally twisted with dark red spatial fissure patterns, seemingly innately endowed with spatial affinity and resistance.

Its enormous head was an inverted triangle shape, with no eyes, and only a wide, spiral toothed gaping mouth stretching to the ears across its face.

Its stout limbs ended with terrifying claws resembling giant alloy hooks.

Most terrifying was its long tail, the end of which wasn’t just a simple tail hammer or spike but a dark energy sphere, highly compressed and silently boiling.

The aura it emitted was violent, chaotic, and savage, its terrifying pressure almost reaching the Early Stage of the Venerable Realm!

"Vile creature!"

Venerable Duan Yue snorted coldly.

According to his Middle Stage Venerable Realm, dealing with a vile creature that hadn’t even reached the Venerable level should be as easy as swatting a fly.

However, at this moment, he was anxious to save people. In this Saint Tomb, where Laws were chaotic, if he launched the five-fingered mountain, all his energy would be focused on maintaining the space under his palm.

Just at this critical moment when old strength was exhausted and new strength hadn’t arisen, facing the deliberate attack of this Early Stage Venerable level spatial exotic beast, he couldn’t retract his shield in time to guard his vital points.

The beast’s sharp claws and its tail hammer filled with destructive waves were already upon him. He could even smell the foul stench, mixed with spatial debris, spewing from its bloodthirsty maw.

If this blow landed, although Venerable Duan Yue, who had practiced the Protective Law, wouldn’t be injured, it would affect his progress.

A critical juncture!

Just as the exotic beast’s claws and tail hammer were about to tear the weak point of Venerable Duan Yue’s Protective Light Shield, a faster silver-grey stream of light appeared as if by teleportation, in front of the exposed core node of Venerable Duan Yue.

It was Jiang Shu!

At this moment, the two disciples had been precariously pulled away from the edge of the space fissure’s suction, dragged by two gentle forces hurriedly separated by Venerable Duan Yue.

So he didn’t care about the two disciples trapped in the weightless trap, instead pushing his spatial perception to the limit, predicting this deadly killing move hidden behind the space trap.

He moved at the same moment the exotic beast pounced.

The Shui Huan Gloves burst forth with blinding silver light.

Jiang Shu’s five fingers spread open and fiercely grasped toward the direction of the exotic beast’s pounce and the vital spatial node of Venerable Duan Yue!

"Screech!"

A teeth-numbing tearing sound exploded.

Centered on Jiang Shu’s fist, an invisible spatial fault instantly formed.

It was as if a huge, transparent sharpening stone had been erected in the space between the beast and its target out of nowhere.

This wasn’t an energy impact, but a forcible distortion of the spatial structure itself!

The exotic beast that came tearing through space slammed head-first into this unexpectedly appearing high-density spatial fault.

Its skull bone armor, comparable to Venerable Star Artifact hardness, rubbed harshly against the spatial fault, producing a piercing screech and sparking a shower of deep blue spatial energy sparks.

Strong as its speed and impact was, it was forcibly stalled.

That maw, seemingly capable of devouring stars, twisted and deformed from the sudden obstruction.

More critically was the highly compressed dark energy at the end of its tail hammer.

The sudden appearance of the spatial fault directly triggered a partial space collapse of the energy ball, with most of the destructive energy being snuffed out by its own contained space power before it could explode, collapsing rapidly like a punctured balloon.

This moment of stalling provided Venerable Duan Yue with a crucial breathing space.

"Die!"

Venerable Duan Yue’s hair and beard stood on end as he stepped forward.

The earthy yellow glow on his body erupted like a volcano, his Protective Light Shield instantly retracted, condensing once more, forming a set of law armor on his body as thick as granite.

The extended five-fingered mountain also fiercely contracted inward, transforming into two substantial, earth-yellow tornados, twisting violently around the beast’s neck trapped by the spatial fault.

"Roar!"

The beast let out a cry of pain, struggling fiercely.

Innately spatial, it instinctively wanted to twist and escape, but Jiang Shu’s spatial fault was unusually solid and consolidated. Although it couldn’t completely trap the beast, it severely hindered its movement, disrupting its instant spatial control, making it like a moth caught in a spider’s web.
