Realm-Hopping Martial Master
Chapter 926 - 505: 100 Years of Cultivation, Battle with the Demon Monarch Again!
"Jiang Taixuan!! You dare to come to my Demon Domain to meet your death!!"
Raging flames of anger surged in the narrow blood-red eyes as the Black Dragon Demon Lord stared fiercely at Jiang Shu, who appeared from a crack in the Realm Barrier. His face instantly twisted with rage.
The large veins on his forehead throbbed violently. His gaze was deadly, as the demonic power around him surged uncontrollably. The sound waves from his furious roar formed hurricanes, churning up the previously calm sea below into towering waves.
True to the saying, enemies are especially resentful when they meet. Upon seeing Jiang Shu, the culprit responsible for his mission's failure, earning him severe punishment and exile from the Demon Venerable of his clan, and almost ruining his future, the fury in the heart of this distinguished Demon Lord was understandable!
"Black Dragon Demon Lord?"
Jiang Shu met the other's fierce and brutal gaze, with his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
To be honest, he didn't expect to encounter the Black Dragon Demon Lord, whose cultivation was at the Vientiane Realm Middle Stage, right after entering the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Currently, the Demon Race and the Eight Great Sects were fiercely battling in the Endless Sea, and the situation was extremely tense. Why would the Demon Race station such a powerful Vientiane Realm Middle Stage Demon Lord to guard the Realm Barrier instead of fighting on the front lines?
Even the Eight Great Sects, with their congregation of Daoist Monarchs, wouldn't make such an arrangement, would they?
Or could it be that after millennia of accumulation, the Demon Race's power had inflated to such a degree that they believed they could win the war even without deploying all their elites?
Countless thoughts flashed in Jiang Shu's mind like lightning but were immediately suppressed. Now, with formidable foes right in front of him, it was not the time to be distracted!
The Black Dragon Demon Lord was far beyond those like Qiu Taoguang from the Ancient Demon Sect Relics or the novices of Wenxian Palace who had just grasped the Great Dao. His understanding of the Great Dao spanned at least a millennium.
A thousand years of the Power of Great Dao had tempered the Black Dragon Demon Lord's body. Once he revealed his true form, his combat strength far surpassed those ordinary Daoist Monarchs of the same level.
In past skirmishes between the Demon Race and the Eight Great Sects, the Black Dragon Demon Lord had always been a significant trouble for the Eight Great Sects and was one of the Demon Race's formidable adepts that the True Martial Sect was especially wary of!
Although he cultivated for a hundred years in the Wenxian Palace,
since the Wenxian Palace was isolated from the Heavens, all his time was spent comprehending the Great Dao, which actually limited his progress in strength.
He originally thought that by stealthily entering the Chaotic Demon Sea this time, he could swiftly kill any spotted Demon Clan Commanders and escape the Demon Race's encirclement.
Unexpectedly, right upon entering, he encountered the Black Dragon Demon Lord.
This seemed to be a bit troublesome now... ๐ฏ๐ป๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ท๐๐ฟ๐๐.๐๐ธ๐ข
With a gradually heavy expression, Jiang Shu's peripheral vision began to scan his surroundings.
Having just entered the Chaotic Demon Sea, everything here was unfamiliar to him.
He could handle one Black Dragon Demon Lord.
But if another Demon Lord appeared, he would have no choice but to flee.
At this moment, the Black Dragon Demon Lord had snapped out of his initial wrath-induced haze and drew a sinister smile:
"To think, pursued vigorously by my Demon Race, you still had the guts to come alone to the Chaotic Demon Sea."
"Our Demon Venerable had long declared, whoever captures you, this little brat, and brings you back to the clan for a blood sacrifice to Lords Heavenly Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix, can choose any Dao Artifact from the clan's secret treasures as a reward."
"I originally thought such merit was beyond my reach, but you have delivered yourself to my door."
"Jiang Taixuan, since you're here, don't even think of leaving today!"
"I will capture you and grind your bones to dust to appease my anger!!"
The furious roar echoed across the sky as the Black Dragon Demon Lord's eyes flared with ferocity, stepping heavily onto the war chariot. His demonic power surged, and his figure vanished without a trace!
In an instant, an intense sense of threat suddenly engulfed Jiang Shu's heart, and the vast Power of Great Dao within him howled out. He immediately raised a hand to strike at the seemingly empty void beside him!
As the fierce palm wind touched that space, intense ripples spread violently. A tall figure clad in blood armor emerged, obliterating Jiang Shu's offensive with one fierce grab.
"Boom!"
With the dull roar, Jiang Shu felt a powerful counterforce hitting him, making it hard to maintain his balance as he was blasted several meters back.
His steps kept stamping on the clouds, leaving cracks in the space. Jiang Shu mobilized his Primordial Power to forcibly stabilize himself, but his inner energy was still churning uncontrollably.
Looking once more at the distant Black Dragon Demon Lord, he was now on high alert.
The Black Dragon Demon Lord, assigned to the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, indeed had extraordinary strength!
He could say that this was the strongest person he had faced head-on since embarking on his cultivation path!
"Humph! Your senses are sharp, but it's far from enough!"
Seeing Jiang Shu detect his attack in advance and successfully fend it off, the Black Dragon Demon Lord felt rather surprised and gave a cold snort.
Ordinary Vientiane Realm Early Stage opponents couldn't withstand ten moves under his command.
This Jiang Shu, no wonder he could charge his way through the Ancient Demon Sect Relics.
However, all good fortune ends at this moment!
With eyes filled with bloodthirsty light, dark and frightening power pulsed on the tightly clenched fists of the Black Dragon Demon Lord as he lunged straight at Jiang Shu!
Innumerable dark fist lights blotted out the sky, pounding fiercely. Everywhere they passed, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi collapsed and scattered, even the void couldn't withstand his absolute momentum oppression, shattering into large patches of deep black spatial cracks!
