Realm-Hopping Martial Master
Chapter 917 - 500: Tearing Open the Cang Mang Domain Barrier! The Demon Venerable Descends!
Unable to use divine thought, to better perceive all changes within the Ancient Demon Sect Relics.
It simply went with the flow, allowing Qiu Taoguang to find the inheritance of the Daoist Monarch of Great Disaster.
Logically speaking, Qiu Taoguang's strength should have undergone an earthshaking transformation, enough to become the strongest person in the ruins in one fell swoop.
Even Zong Yue or Lu Chong would not be his opponent.
"Once the Disaster Dao is comprehended, strength will increase by leaps and bounds, even an ordinary Daoist Monarch at the Vientiane Realm Early Stage would not be Qiu Taoguang's opponent. Could it be that Qiu Taoguang did not comprehend the Disaster Dao, and this opportunity was instead taken by someone from the Eight Great Sects?"
The narrowed eyes showed a look of doubt, the shadow standing before the black jade throne was undulating, and the surging aura fluctuated with it.
"Moreover, the two ranked third and fourth among the Demon Race, Heavenly Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix, also fell within the ancient ruins. In terms of racial talent, they were even stronger than Qiu Taoguang."
"Was the one who acted Zong Yue from the Dao Yi Sect, Lu Chong from the True Martial Sect, or…"
In the murmur, the words of the Demon Sect Master suddenly halted, his eyes turned gloomy.
The information he knew was still too little.
For thousands of years, he had basically been in secluded cultivation here, constantly raising his realm.
The start of this great war, whether true inheritors or elders died, mattered not to him.
The outcome of the great war is always on these top combat forces.
Just, this Ancient Demon Sect Relics was a grand scheme he and the Demon Race set up. Once successful, it could completely crush the hearts of many disciples from the Eight Great Sects.
It could better cause the Beast Taming Sect to defect.
But now it seems, those people from the Beast Taming Sect…
"Tell me again, the scene outside the Ancient Demon Sect Relics where those true inheritors of the Eight Great Sects came out, who came out first, who was leading…"
Daoist Monarch Xuan Ming was first taken aback upon hearing this, but then immediately reacted, recalling the scene when Jiang Shu led people out of the relics that day, his face underwent subtle changes, and he nodded heavily:
"Reporting to the Sect Master. This time, leading the way out of the relics was not Zong Yue or Lu Chong, but Jiang Shu, the First True Inheritor of the True Martial Sect. He has also advanced to the Vientiane Realm."
"But the strength displayed was incredibly formidable, even a palm strike I delivered in anger at the time, he was able to take, and he wasn't even severely injured!"
At this moment, upon the Demon Sect Master's inquiry, Daoist Xuan Ming finally realized the crux of the matter!
Since Jiang Shu could directly confront him, a Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm Middle Stage, and only slightly fall behind, wouldn't he be able to completely dominate Qiu Taoguang, Heavenly Dragon, and others!
Then, he quickly looked up at the steps and said:
"The Sect Master is wise! It seems the variable in the ancient ruins is on this young Jiang!"
"Had we known when the Thousand-Eyed Demon Monarch acted that day, we should have assisted him, so that Lord Zi Ji could not intercept the Thousand-Eyed Demon Monarch. If Jiang Shu were killed, where would be the calamity of the relics!"
Daoist Monarch Xuan Ming's voice was filled with remorse.
Above, the shadow incarnation was silent, only slightly nodding, with a gleam in his eyes, lost in thought.
After half a cup of tea, the eyes of the Demon Sect Master turned sharp, having made up his mind:
"No matter, the Demon Race's losses this time were no less than our Demon Sect's."
"Go, convey my order, send someone to the Demon Race to meet the Demon Venerable, tell that old dragon that the losses from this trip to the Ancient Relics are extremely grave, it cannot end here!"
"From today on, I will join forces with several Daoist Venerables of the Demon Sect to tear open more barriers of the Demon Domain, to completely break with the Eight Great Sects and engage in a large-scale offensive on the Cang Mang Domain!"
"To demand an answer, we will force the True Martial Sect to hand over Jiang Shu!"
"I don't believe it, Jiang Shu is already a threat to the Dao Yi Sect. I want to see whether those old guys in the Dao Yi Sect will be moved!"
"With such a rapid advancement, this youngster might have boundless opportunities."
Hearing the command, Daoist Monarch Xuan Ming's old face immediately showed unprecedented gravity, even a hint of excitement was hidden deep in his eyes.
A thousand years ago, the Ancient Demon Sect was exterminated by the Eight Great Sects, survivors scattered like homeless dogs, fleeing the Cang Mang Domain.
Various concealments in the Endless Sea.
But if the Sect Master's plan succeeds, attracting the Demon Venerable here, the situation in the Endless Sea will definitely change drastically!
Although in this way, the entire war will spiral out of control, no longer under the management of the Demon Sect, in both the Endless Sea and the Cang Mang Domain, all life will be plunged into misery.
But… what does that have to do with them?
If it weren't for that kid Jiang Shu disrupting their plan.
If it weren't for the old guys of the Eight Great Sects constantly hunting their Demon Sect.
How could it have come to this!
"I obey!"
Clasping his fists to receive the order, Daoist Monarch Xuan Ming hastily left.
In the rolling black mist, the incarnation of the Demon Sect Master stood with hands behind his back, coldly watching the departing figure, his long narrow eyes filled with spreading severity.
"Dao Yi Sect, True Martial Sect, as this great disaster rises again, I want to see if you still have the same fortune-protection as a thousand years ago!"
...
At the same time, a similar scene was also taking place among the Demon Race.
With the return of the Black Dragon Demon Monarch, bringing back the news of the deaths of the two Highnesses, Heavenly Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix, the entire Demon Race plunged into extreme frenzy.
Within the Demon Race, apart from the two Highnesses ranked first and second who were in secluded life or death retreats, Heavenly Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix had the noblest bloodlines, and the entire race regarded them as the hope for the future.
But now, seeing the promising geniuses of the race die so unclearly in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, without even being able to retrieve their bodies, the rage in the hearts of the Demon Race was imaginable.
Even the Black Dragon Demon Monarch himself was severely punished by the Demon Emperor and other elder Demon Venerables of the race because of this matter. If not for the great war starting, sparing his life for utility, he would have been oppressed for a hundred years.
Subsequently, this fervent situation completely erupted with the arrival of the Demon Sect emissary shortly afterward!
For the Demon Sect Master's request to join forces and launch a massive offensive on the Endless Sea, the Demon Venerable and the Demon Monarchs of the race had no hesitation in unanimously agreeing on the spot!
Outside the Cang Mang Domain is a barrier that protects it.
Anyone trying to pass through it will be impacted by the Heaven and Earth Rules.
The lower the realm, the lesser the impact.
For their Demon Race, an ordinary Demon Monarch entering can still bear it, but if a Demon Venerable enters, the Heaven and Earth Rules will undoubtedly affect them, causing their strength to continuously decline, putting them in a life-and-death situation.
But now, with the Demon Sect's response, actively tearing the barrier, it can indeed be attempted.
Both sides quickly agreed, immediately mobilizing their forces, yet showing unprecedented silence to the outside world, with no movement whatsoever.
However, whether the Eight Great Sects or the mortal dynasties of the Cang Mang Domain, they could feel the undercurrents stirring beneath the calm surface, a stormy threat quietly converging.
...
Six months later.
At a barrier connected between the Endless Sea and the Demon Domain.
A very small gap was directly torn open!
Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man with dragon horns stepped out, clad in a golden dragon robe, his gaze seemed to pierce through the Endless Sea, seeing the fertile Cang Mang Domain.
That same month, the Demon Sect and Demon Race launched a full-force assault on the Endless Sea!
The winds and clouds were in chaos, a great war erupted abruptly.
Even though the Eight Great Sects were aware of the possibility of the Demon Sect and Demon Race joining forces to invade, and had prepared defensively, when the actual battle occurred, the painstakingly built defense lines were still torn asunder by the Demon Sect and Demon Race, appearing in a state of collapse.
The reason was simple, for this time, the Demon Sect and Demon Race came with the full force of their sect, determined to achieve victory in one battle, breaking all rules, even those Chaos Hole Realm great powers, the exaltedly positioned Demon Venerables, who had never participated in low-level battles, personally appeared on the battlefield!
Just in that battle, as their auras surged, they utterly shocked the entire Endless Sea!
