Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 663 - 374: One-Finger Slash—Those Who Block Me Die! Entering the Void Realm

After bidding farewell to Master Lord Zi Ji, Jiang Shu did not pause for a moment, heading directly from the Cang Mang Domain back to Xuanxing, passing through the Star Gate, and setting foot in the Black Iron Desert.

Returning to this realm once more, his strength had undergone a vastly transformative change.

The last time, he had been merely in the Forget Self Realm, possessing only a few Heavenly Rank Divine Skills, and his comprehension of the Great Dao Embryo had only scratched the surface.

But now, he had entered the Nirvana Realm, overcoming the three tribulations of wind, fire, and lightning.

He had been continually comprehending the "Panwu Great Strength Dao Book."

He comprehended the Power Dao Primordial Form, Origin Dao Prototype, Blood Essence Dao Prototype, and just the power of his physical form was enough to easily suppress those of the same realm.

Even ordinary Cosmic Ninth Rank Experts might not withstand a casual strike from him.

"Is there something the matter?"

At first glance, he noticed the lingering tension on the faces of Master Cang Wu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Jiang Shu asked.

Currently, both Master Cang Wu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts were seated cross-legged, yet their spiritual power and Power of Faith remained in a state of tension.

Apparently concentrating on condensing the Black Iron Origin, they seemed to be on guard against something.

"In the Black Iron Desert, it seems a treasure is about to emerge."

Seeing Jiang Shu return, Master Cang Wu sighed in relief, voicing his inner speculation.

"Outside, it might be surrounded by some great forces, making it hard to get out. Now we can either return directly to Xuanxing, hoping those forces are completely attracted by the treasure and won't pay attention to a small Star Gate."

"Or we could head to the treasure's location, joining the ranks of the great forces until the end of the treasure scramble, following them to get out."

Guarding the Star Gate before Xuanxing actually carried certain risks.

After all, previously even Cosmic Ninth Rank Experts came into the Black Iron Desert for the comprehension of Origin and to condense Cosmic Origin Crystals.

But now, the treasure has appeared.

Three Cosmic Ninth Rank Experts together in one place would certainly be highly conspicuous.

They could easily be discovered by those great forces and compelled to join the ranks as cannon fodder for treasure snatching.

In terms of safety, returning to Xuanxing far exceeds.

As for if the Xuanxing Star Gate were discovered, then within Xuanxing, they could take the initiative, catching the other side off guard.

They could also retreat from Xuanxing, drifting through the vast cosmos; unless a Tenth Rank Expert attacked, they'd hardly be at any life-threatening risk.

The other option to join the scramble for the treasure favored seeking fortune amidst risk. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Being a treasure, everyone desires it.

But Master Cang Wu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts had previously promised Jiang Shu to vigilantly guard the Xuanxing Star Gate, and if their departure led to its discovery, it would breed enmity rather than gratitude.

Thus, both restrained their inner greed for the treasure.

Until now, Jiang Shu came.

"Is the treasure emerging?"

Spiritual power spread out, and Jiang Shu quickly discerned the sky where occasionally streaks of light darted in, each entering group organized by Ninth Rank Experts.

If there truly was a treasure, he needed to make a decision swiftly; otherwise, waiting longer as the forces gathered would make it increasingly difficult to claim a share.

"Near the Black Iron Desert are several great cities, Black Iron City, Xingyu City, Tuoba City... Every great city has an Eleventh Rank expert stationed there; if it's not a Tenth Rank treasure, there wouldn't be such a commotion."

"Tenth Rank... it should correspond to a Dao Artifact from the Cang Mang Domain!"

Master Cang Wu's words pondered fleetingly in Jiang Shu's mind before he immediately decided.

Returning to Xuanxing was certainly safer, but he had come from the Cang Mang Domain precisely to find destiny in the Star Ruins Realm, further sharpening his strength.

If he really turned back into the Star Gate, he might as well wait for the panel to refresh and the Two Realms Shuttle to return to the Cang Mang Domain.

Not to mention, now he was among the top within the Ninth Rank in terms of combat power.

In his hands, he possessed a Daoist Talisman bestowed by his master, capable of terrifying even a Tenth Rank expert in a single strike.

With such a trump card, what treasure could he not contest for!

"Are you coming with me, or staying here?"

Without much hesitation, Jiang Shu directly asked Master Cang Wu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts, and as they nodded, he promptly took out a set of Heavenly Rank Array Plate.

With a tap of his fingers, Primordial Power and spiritual power combined, and the Array Plate landed before the Star Gate. Instantly, beams of light intersected and enveloped the Star Gate.

This was something he specifically exchanged for with battle merits, an array that conceals the Heavenly Secret.

The array perfectly melded with the surroundings, forming an illusion that not even an ordinary Nirvana Realm True Monarch could detect.

It also offered some defensive abilities.

With this Heavenly Rank formation, the Xuanxing Star Gate had an additional layer of defense.

"Let's go!"

With his words, pressing on after confirming nobody noticed, Jiang Shu transformed into streaks of light, flying towards the depths of the Black Iron Desert.

Behind him, Master Cang Wu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts followed at their fastest speed.

"Jiang Shu's strength has progressed again!"

The God of Ten Thousand Beasts' pupils shook slightly, a sudden surge of joy filling his heart.

He gambled right; Jiang Shu's talent was truly unfathomable and inscrutable!

How long had it been?

Even in a place like Xuanxing, his strength had visibly advanced.

Now, following Jiang Shu, he was completely covered by Jiang Shu's aura, unable to harbor the slightest evil thought, as though thoughts itself would invite a tribulation of life and death.
