Realm-Hopping Martial Master
Chapter 971 - 527: Another Enlightenment of the Great Dao! Dragon Phase Dao! (Part 2)
"Where can you run to?"
Jiang Shu shook his head, casually throwing out an Elemental Power Fist Seal, striking and killing all the Transformed Demons still alive below, before lightly stepping onto the void and instantly crossing a thousand-mile space, arriving before the Single-Horned Demon Monarch, delivering another punch.
"Spare me!"
The Single-Horned Demon Monarch pleaded loudly, but Jiang Shu remained unmoved, determined to break through all laws with power alone, striking the dark tortoise shell close to the Daoist Rank, causing it to tremble continuously, showing cracks, unable to endure much longer.
"Jiang Taixuan, spare my life! I am willing to serve you as my master!"
Believing he still had room for growth, expecting to one day break through the Demon Monarch Middle Stage, by then ruling the entire Chaotic Demon Sea, he couldn't bear to die at Jiang Shu's hands, practically kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
But Jiang Shu continued his assault, in an instant delivering eighty-one Fist Seals, intertwining the Power Dao and the Cutting Dao, annihilating the dark barrier.
"Boom!"
The barrier shattered, revealing the terrified gaze of the Single-Horned Immortal, then having his head crushed with a punch.
The battle ended. ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ซ๐๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
Jiang Shu dispatched one Demon Monarch Middle Stage and two Demon Monarch Early Stage strong figures in succession, suffering only minor qi and blood depletion, earning the title of legend.
"This Single-Horned Immortal's physical body should not be wasted; handing it over to the Supreme Sect Leader might yet yield a Dao Artifact."
"Only a pity, his comprehension of the Power Dao falls short of mine, otherwise, it could further enhance my Power Dao."
Fights at the Vientiane Realm are extremely rare.
Even at the start of the Demon Race's invasion of the Endless Sea, Demon Monarch level combatants never showed face.
Only the Thousand-Eyed Demon Monarch fell at the hands of Jiang Shu's master.
Furthermore, each Demon Monarch stands edged by the Great Dao, possessing extremely resilient survival abilities, facing true life-and-death crises, they escape immediately.
Thus, Demon Race bodies at the Demon Monarch Realm are remarkably rare, their bodies infused with Dao Rhymes, holding high potential for Dao Artifact refinement.
Of course, the most valuable among these is the Black Dragon that has been cut in half alive.
This Black Dragon now exudes a faint golden hue over its Scale Armor, its Essence Blood refined to the extreme, nearly True Dragon Blood, with bones etched with the will of the Dragon Phase Dao, all can be comprehended, aided by True Dragon Blood, refining the Five Elements Chaotic Thunder Tribulation Dragon Transformation Technique into a Great Technique.
"This truly is exhilarating!"
Jiang Shu stood above the surging sea, brimming with spirit, gazing into the distance, not detecting any trace of the Demon Venerable's presence mentioned by the two Demon Monarchs.
"The Chaotic Demon Sea and Endless Sea are united in truth, the frontline Demon Venerable cannot remain oblivious to my activities here, not arriving signifies the Supreme Sect Leader of the sect has made a move."
Though amidst great battle, Jiang Shu remains ever prepared to use the Two Realms Shuttle at any moment.
Guarding against the Demon Venerable's strike.
The Daoist Venerable and Demon Venerable sit at the frontline, rarely acting, akin to a sea-straddling purple-golden beam, holding ethnic foundations, mutually locked, anyone departing would be discovered.
A moment prior, the Supreme Sect Leader detected signs the opposing Demon Venerable had intentions to leave, immediately realizing Jiang Shu is causing a huge commotion in the Chaotic Demon Sea.
He hesitates not, displaying an exceptionally powerful Great Technique, Great Dao Chains entwine, advancing towards the Demon Venerable.
"Taiwu Daoist Venerable, you overstep!"
The True Martial Sect Supreme Sect Leader nicknamed Taiwu, at the moment of his strike, a fellow Demon Venerable also acts, a Golden Dragon shadow emerges, dissipating the Supreme Sect Leader's attack.
Daoist Venerable experts, every move embodies ethnic will.
"Yet the Supreme Sect Leader can only hold them momentarily, leaving here would be wise."
Though Jiang Shu isn't aware of the full frontline situation, after all this time, he speculates quite extensively.
In the Chaotic Demon Sea, he's flanked, causing a major uproar, a boon for the frontline.
Such breakthrough yields are incredibly significant.
During the fusion of Dao and Dao, Jiang Shu perceives transformations behind him in his Dao, signaling progression to the Vientiane Middle Stage.
Following the great battle, Dao and Dao meld smoothly, placing Jiang Shu on the verge of Breaking Realm.
Due to imminent danger, this isn't a location to break the realm.
Driven relentless, Jiang Shu plunges deep into the Chaotic Demon Sea, finds a tranquil spot, employs the Two Realms Shuttle.
Returning to the Seventh Floor of the Eternal Tower, meditating atop a small star, eleven Great Daos swirl around him, integrating with himself.
They near manifestation in the world.
The Realm of Vientiane relies on Dao understanding and accumulation.
Dao fusion, a contemplation reserved for Vientiane Late Stage experts, yet Jiang Shu, while only at the Vientiane Early Stage, already considered and executed it.
In perspective of Dao comprehension, Jiang Shu stands peerless amongst his generation, comparable to few Peak of Vientiane experts, especially boasting eleven Great Dao Embryos, escalating this step's difficulty.
Comprehension achieved, what's lacking is Dao accumulation, typically requiring decades, even a century.
Yet for Jiang Shu, supported by the Eternal Tower, time is no obstacle.
Years later, two beams manifest in the Eternal Tower, directly traversing the void, descending upon a small star, sounding mirrors shattering, fragmenting the star instantly, disintegrating into dust in space.
"Vientiane Middle Stage!"
This beam emerged from Jiang Shu's eyes, though not matching the destructive power of the Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist and Panwu Heaven Opening Axe, also falls within the realm of Great Techniques, integrating the Soul Great Dao, Power Dao, and Cutting Dao, harboring terrifying lethal force against life forms.
A welcomed surprise.
"With realm broken, it's time to refine the Dragon Transformation Technique."
The Black Dragon Demon Lord, though Demon Monarch Middle Stage, contains a body suffused with Dao Rhymes, post-breakthrough, further refining could maximize this rare body's utility.
With those words, a thousand-zhang long dragon body appeared before Jiang Shu.
Even in death, the Black Dragon's body retained a faint Dragon Might, dignified beyond reach.
However, Jiang Shu remained unaffected, gently opening his mouth, releasing an invisible flame that enveloped the Black Dragon's entire body for refinement.
This was a breath of Qi Blood Fire, infused with Dao Rhymes.
Qi Blood and Dao, typically aren't parallel, representing Power Dao's cultivation embodiment, also refining the body's treasures, rendering the body akin to Dao Artifacts, housing numerous Great Daos within.
Using this world as a furnace, with self's qi blood as fire, refining this renowned Demon Monarch.
Qi Blood Fire burned ceaselessly, extracting Essence Blood and Dao from this body.
Even with Jiang Shu's deep renown, the Three Holy Embryos and 365 acupoints frantically revolved, now showing signs of depletion, hinting at exhaustion.
Meanwhile, the thousand-zhang dragon body dwindled to less than a hundred-zhang form, blood dried up, Dao Rhymes disappeared, leaving only bones and meat comparable to metals.
"This body is now useless, rather than expending effort refining it into a Dao Artifact, why not keep it, and later take it to Wenxian Palace, see if the Artifact Spirit elder of Wenxian Palace requires it."
Jiang Shu said, casually waving to employ Sleeve Universe, collecting the body.
For him, what's most valuable from the Black Dragon Demon Lord, is the faint golden blood hovering before him, and a nebulous Great Dao.
This isโฆ True Dragon Essence Blood, and the Dragon Phase Dao.
As a standout among Demon Monarch Middle Stage, the Black Dragon Demon Lord grasped four Great Daos, though not aligning with Jiang Shu's conditions, and not being the Black Dragon's Fundamental Dao, thus only extracting this Dragon Phase Dao, yet this suffices.
"Once comprehending the Dragon Phase Dao, merged with the Thunder Dao, what would it be like?"
"Truly an exciting anticipation."
