Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 776 - 430: Diligent Enlightenment in the Netherworld Water, the Perfect Time to Refine the Kunpeng Demon Wings!

The Netherworld Water surged endlessly, like a Flood Dragon lying in wait.

Strings of dead souls, like fish, swept towards Jiang Shu.

At this moment, Jiang Shu was calmly submerged in the Netherworld Water, feeling the wash of it against every part of his body, feeling the purification of his soul. Behind him, the Kunpeng Demon Wings slowly moved, slaughtering dead souls and continuously refining them.

This quasi-Tao Artifact was crafted by his master, Lord Zi Ji. Jiang Shu had always used it, but never had a good opportunity to refine it anew.

Any treasure in hand, to exert its full power, requires continuous refinement, merging the treasure with the cultivator.

This is true for treasures, and even more so for Dao Artifacts.

"If there are distinctions among quasi-Tao Artifacts, then these Kunpeng Demon Wings must be of the lowest grade."

Jiang Shu concentrated his mind, at this moment, compared to when he entered the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, he remained in the Nirvana Realm. Yet his understanding of the Great Dao Embryo had unknowingly improved greatly.

Especially the Space Dao Embryo, after obtaining Luo Venerable's notes, he understood some key points. Now looking at the quasi-Tao Artifact Kunpeng Demon Wings, he realized that the Space Dao Embryo and the Devouring Dao Embryo within it were just a few crucial steps away from being complete.

Of course, this was not important.

He had already deeply comprehended these two Daos, and could completely upgrade the grade of the Kunpeng Demon Wings in subsequent refinements.

The only thing lacking was materials.

It's fair to say, the grade of the Kunpeng Demon Wings was limited by the materials. After all, the main materials of these Kunpeng Demon Wings were initially the wings of Kunpeng, then enhanced by his master Lord Zi Ji with Daoist Rank materials, which raised their grade partly.

"When reaching the Inner Circle, I could search for available Daoist Rank materials related to the Devouring Dao and Space Dao. If I can gather some, it's definitely possible to refine the Kunpeng Demon Wings into a Dao Artifact."

In the Netherworld Water, Jiang Shu steadily advanced deeper into the Inner Circle while refining.

Some Divine Skills he had abandoned were resurrected at this time; like the Netherworld Soul-Washing Seal, which yielded double the results when refined in Netherworld Water.

He could totally comprehend a part of the Soul Dao Primordial from it, allowing further progress in the Soul Great Dao.

Maintaining a steady pace, Jiang Shu unknowingly reached the very center of the Netherworld Water.

By now, Elder Soul Devourer, who had already stepped into the Vientiane Realm in the relic's Inner Circle, suddenly leapt up from the Netherworld Water; his aura chillingly cold. Several strong dead souls in the Netherworld Water were instantly devoured upon his swift turn, wailing by his side, transforming into spiritual power.

Despite repeatedly overestimating the Netherworld Water, he never imagined the entire river of Netherworld Water could be so expansive.

If not for his comprehension of the Soul Devouring Dao, constantly devouring dead souls to replenish spiritual power, he might have exhausted his spiritual power midway, unable to lead these True Monarchs into the Inner Circle.

If that were the case, not only would his earlier efforts be in vain, but he would have also spent more power in the Netherworld Water, weakening his crisis resistance in the relic's Inner Circle.

Luckily, everyone he brought this time were true old monsters, each possessing deep foundations in the Nirvana Realm. Having lived another lifetime, their realms further improved through the various treasure grounds around the relic's outskirts. They also managed to withstand some Netherworld Water and dead souls attacks.

This spared his spiritual power from being significantly divided.

"Hoo..."

Breathed heavily, Elder Soul Devourer looked at the black mist in the Inner Circle. This mist had the effect of obscuring spiritual power, allowing a Vientiane Realm cultivator like him to only explore within a range of about a hundred miles.

He slightly furrowed his brows, feeling the floating black mist approaching, quickly took out some Soul Devouring Black Crystal from his storage space, replenishing his soul spirit.

So far, within a hundred miles, there seemed to be no danger, but the Inner Circle would surely be a hundred times more cautious than the outskirts.

He brought these Nirvana Realm True Monarchs here intending to leverage them for path exploration.

Turning his head back, a line of figures were also rapidly struggling up from the Netherworld Water. Compared to Elder Soul Devourer, these Demon Sect True Monarchs appeared even more disheveled.

Some of their soul power almost like lanterns in a storm, leaves in the wind. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Some bodies had seven or eight orifices, with vital organs almost hollowed out by the washing of Netherworld Water, leaving only the skin.

Every True Monarch was too hurried to explore the Inner Circle, immediately sat by the shore, consuming various elixirs or Crystal Stones obtained from the treasure grounds in the outskirts, recovering their bodies and spirits.

"This Netherworld Water is truly terrifying without cause, and this is merely the boundary line between the relic's Inner Circle and outskirts! The Inner Circle of the relic is bound to be even more dangerous!"

Withered Wood True Monarch, who had comprehended the Withered Wood Dao, forcibly turned himself into a piece of withered wood within the Netherworld Water, repeatedly evading soul washing from the Netherworld Water. But his physical body was continuously eroded, now truly resembling withered wood. Forget about vital organs, even some essence blood was almost completely washed away.

This wave of calamity brought him great damage, the Netherworld Water turned out to be more terrifying than he imagined.

If not for following Elder Soul Devourer, even if he truly crossed the Netherworld Water, his body might have permanently remained there, leaving only the soul to escape.

So was Withered Wood True Monarch, and other True Monarchs also suffered severe injuries.
