Chapter 976: Chapter 530: Methods for Battling the Demon Venerable Avatar! City-Covering Big Handprint!

Only through a true battle can one understand how terrifying the Demon Venerable truly is!

Not to mention, the one taking action now is merely an avatar of the Demon Venerable!

Since advancing to the Nirvana Realm, Jiang Shu hasn’t encountered such a fight in a long time.

He’s completely overwhelmed in every aspect.

He obtained the "Great Void Heart Scripture" and comprehended the Space Dao Embryo that leads other Daoist Monarch Demon Lords.

But in the face of the Demon Venerable’s avatar, it is almost useless.

Several times he utilized space to evade attacks, yet all were pierced through by the offensive of the Demon Venerable’s avatar.

Even his body, strong as the bodies of the Demon Race, is riddled with wounds.

Injuries penetrate to the bones, with several large bones on the brink of collapse, tightly bound by Thunder Chains, barely maintaining basic combat ability.

"Boom!"

The Thunder Pool resonated in the void.

The Demon Venerable’s avatar stepped on void ripples, appearing behind Jiang Shu in an instant, thrusting out a spear once again.

With this spear, the endless space trembles, streams of space turbulence are torn apart, a terrifying pressure crushes the seawater below, sweeping it outward, forming a vacuum zone.

The aftermath sweeps out, dissolving a nearby Half-demon Island, vaster than any major city in the Cang Mang Domain, into dust.

This spear is too terrifying, seemingly the full-strength strike of the Demon Venerable’s avatar.

Intending at this moment to completely annihilate Jiang Shu.

"Boom!"

Behind, the Kunpeng Demon Wings fluttered wildly, tearing open slices of space by Jiang Shu.

Behind him, eleven lines of the Great Dao connect to an inconspicuous Great Dao Embryo.

This is the Space Dao Embryo!

At this moment, all his Power of Great Dao is erupting, just to let the Space Dao Embryo advance further, breaking open more space.

To dodge this world-ending spear!

Regrettably, the Demon Venerable has already comprehended the existence of the Space Dao.

Although only an avatar is taking action now, in the understanding and mastery of the Space Dao, it entirely surpasses Jiang Shu.

"Still just a bit short..."

The spear light destroys everything.

Even though Jiang Shu avoided it at the fastest speed using numerous methods, his body was still grazed slightly.

Blood splattered across the sky!

"Space Dao... Space Dao!"

In Jiang Shu’s pupils, he seemed to be forcefully memorizing the avatar of the Demon Venerable from afar.

Although he has quite a few trump cards as well.

The Swallowing Sky Mirror given by the Supreme Sect Leader.

The Immortal Character Order from the Artifact Spirit of Wenxian Palace.

But at this moment, their effects are too low.

Because these methods can all be broken by the Demon Venerable’s avatar.

No wonder, only by comprehending the Space Dao can one advance to the Chaos Hole Realm and become a Demon Venerable!

The more the fight continues, the more Jiang Shu understands the importance of the Space Dao to him.

Like his Power Dao and Cutting Dao, although they integrate and can slay the Black Dragon Demon Lord.

But ultimately, the Black Dragon Demon Lord hasn’t begun comprehending the Space Dao.

Like this avatar of the Demon Venerable, when facing his offensive, it can directly evade using space.

It’s extremely difficult for him to even land an attack.

Understanding this crucial point, Jiang Shu makes no pause, tearing open space, fleeing away.

The Kunpeng Demon Wings behind him spread wide, the forces of swallowing and space erupting simultaneously.

The concentrated energy, shaken out of the Demon Race corpses continually due to their clash, is absorbed into the Kunpeng Demon Wings.

Quickly restoring Jiang Shu’s body.

Every acupoint shaken is refilled with power anew.

His figure passes through chunks of space, heading toward the inner domain of the Demon Race.

This is his only path to survival besides the Two Realms Shuttle!

At this point, Jiang Shu is already exposed, and certainly can’t head to the Endless Sea and return to the Human Clan’s lands.

Because by then, entering the front line, it won’t be just a mere avatar coming to kill him—it’s very likely the Demon Venerable himself will take action.

He can only escape inward, hide first, recover from his injuries, and find a way to remove the dark aura entangling his heart.

The Kunpeng Demon Wings behind him seem like they’re about to shatter, the Dao Patterns on them integrate with his Space Dao Embryo under Jiang Shu’s execution.

For a brief time, his speed surprisingly surpasses that of the Demon Venerable’s avatar.

"And this entwined black thread must also be removed; otherwise, no matter where I flee, the Demon Venerable’s avatar will catch up."

Thoughts surged in his mind like seawater, various Great Daos and Great Techniques were unleashed behind him.

Withstanding the pursuit offensive from the Demon Venerable’s avatar.

In his Sleeve Universe, the Black Dragon’s corpse is ready at all times, originally meant to be given to Wenxian Palace.

But now it seems...

"Now is the time... Go!"

At the moment when Great Techniques and Great Daos are shattered by the Demon Venerable’s avatar, Jiang Shu thrusts out the Black Dragon’s corpse fiercely.

The massive Black Dragon corpse, like a small mountain, explodes in the void.

In the endless blood rain, he plunges into the seawater.

Since the black line entwining his heart, like a maggot, cannot be removed.

Then, return to the Eternal Tower first!

Two Realms Shuttle!

"Black Dragon?"

The voice of the Demon Venerable’s avatar, breaking through all Dao Skills, pauses. The explosion of the Black Dragon’s corpse doesn’t cause much harm to the Demon Venerable’s avatar, who directly carves out a slice of space to collect the corpse.

However, when he intends to look toward the seawater, he suddenly discovers he’s lost sensing Jiang Shu’s position!

How is this possible?!

...

"Pfft!"

In the Eternal Tower, Jiang Shu sits cross-legged on a giant star, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. Unveiling pieces of space, continuous black-red aura rises from him, then is obliterated by countless Dao Rhyme.
