Chapter 979: Chapter 531: Trump Cards Unleashed! Battle the Demon Venerable Avatar Again!

His cultivation was inferior to the Black Dragon, how could he withstand Jiang Shu’s punch.

But no matter how fast his actions were, he was not faster than Jiang Shu, who had mastered the Space Dao.

"Even the Black Dragon couldn’t withstand my punch, and yet you, a mere serpent not yet transformed into a dragon, dare to come forth?"

A beam of light suddenly appeared in Jiang Shu’s eyes and descended upon the Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Monarch. His flesh melted away like snow under the sun, and even his bones were burned, creating a horrendous cavity that bore into his soul, unleashing unbearable pain that made him cry out loudly.

Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Monarch couldn’t help but feel furious. From the almost formed horns on his head, a wind blade emerged, accompanied by electric arcs, trying to block Jiang Shu’s Slaughter Technique. Yet, it was dispersed again, forcing him to use all his strength to unleash his own Great Technique to counter Jiang Shu’s attack.

This Great Technique was called Void Soul Splitting Void Pupil Light, containing three Great Dao Embryos, a type of Slaughter Technique, but it was incomplete and needed time to be honed and perfected gradually.

Buzz!

A spear tore through the endless void, appearing behind Jiang Shu, forcing him to abandon his attack and counter the spear’s thrust with a punch, then step into the void, continuing his journey into the Demon Domain.

"I will spare your life for now."

Before leaving, a phrase fell into the ears of the Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Monarch.

Ten breaths after Jiang Shu left, the Demon Venerable Avatar descended, looking emotionlessly at the still dazed Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Monarch.

"Useless."

The Demon Venerable Avatar cursed, then stepped into the void and disappeared, leaving only the injured Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Monarch and the devastation of Panhai City.

Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Monarch’s face was uncertain as he looked at the panicked Demon Race below, his expression turning even darker, almost as if it could drip water.

...

Jiang Shu traversed relentlessly in the void, evading the pursuit of the Demon Venerable Avatar, skimming over hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, ultimately stopping in an abyss, entering a spatial fissure to escape the Black Sun’s illumination.

Under the Black Sun, the Demon Venerable Avatar seemed to be able to exert more power.

Jiang Shu had once obtained a map from Hu Yi, meticulously detailing the geography of the Chaotic Demon Sea, including part of the Demon Domain, featuring this abyss that stretched over tens of thousands of miles.

When he initially examined the map, Jiang Shu noticed that the abyss was straight, as if it had been cleaved by an attack.

There were various space turbulences here, even the bases of some Demon Monarchs were deliberately kept away from this place.

Jiang Shu speculated that a battle might have occurred here between a Daoist Venerable and Demon Venerable, or between Demon Venerables.

The space turbulences here were far superior to other places.

Within, he could evade the Demon Venerable Avatar’s attacks more effectively.

"Damn it!"

Moments later, the Demon Venerable Avatar appeared nearby, instantly realizing that Jiang Shu was hiding in the abyss.

Without any hesitation, he attacked, shattering space with powerful space turbulence, sweeping through every inch of the abyss to force Jiang Shu out.

Compared to Jiang Shu, he was more aware of what had transpired here.

A Daoist Venerable had once ventured into the Demon Race, battling a Demon Venerable over the Chaotic Demon Sea.

The spatial fissures here were a result of that battle.

The Demon Venerable Avatar, who had comprehended the Space Dao, used void turbulence as a weapon, bolstered by the Dao within him, causing even a Vientiane Daoist Monarch to be unable to withstand such an attack.

The attack might lack tremendous single-target Slaughter capability, but the space turbulences could serve as his ears and eyes, informing him instantly upon discovering Jiang Shu’s traces.

Three breaths later, black flames rose from him, wielding a blood-qi spear, stabbing toward a region within the abyss, piercing space, clashing with a pair of fists, tearing through surrounding hard rocks with deafening noise.

"You beast!"

Jiang Shu emerged from the void, blood dripping from his fists.

He had hidden in the abyss but could not evade the void turbulence’s investigation and was soon discovered by the Demon Venerable Avatar.

His fist, shining with golden light, punched through the spatial fissure.

Like a great sun, brilliantly rising.

As Jiang Shu breathed, invisible Qi Blood Fire fiercely blazed, erupting from his acupoints, raging like a storm toward the sky.

The Demon Venerable Avatar’s form was obscured, perpetually shrouded in a black fog, his face unclear. Seeing Jiang Shu reveal himself, a flash of joy crossed his brows, he chuckled and remarked:

"Jiang Taixuan, you finally decided to come out." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"You are touted as the Human Clan’s number one genius, but in my eyes, you are nothing!"

Initially thinking his assault would be easily accomplished, he never imagined that after days of persistence, he still hadn’t managed to kill Jiang Shu and take his head to damage the increasingly high human morale. On the contrary, he was continuously led around by Jiang Shu, who had even slain a Demon Monarch and the ranks of tens of thousands Demon Race soldiers.

This was not a small number.

This realization brought an unprecedented sense of frustration to the self-important Demon Venerable Avatar, leaving him outraged, desiring to dismember Jiang Shu.

Space Dao sealed, forming a sturdy barrier enclosing the two in a vast space, restricting Jiang Shu from freely utilizing Space Dao to traverse the void.

Jiang Shu tightly grasped the void, twelve Great Dao Embryos extending behind him, intertwining like divine chains into a net, even fortified space was riddled with cracks from the emanating powerful Dao Rhymes, surrounding Jiang Shu, making his white robe seem as imposing as snow.

The Qi Blood flame manifested with Dao Rhymes swirling, though invisible to the naked eye, its scorching aura was palpable, signifying Qi Blood’s combustion and Rage’s boiling.

The Demon Venerable Avatar held the spear horizontally, at the tip arose an ink-colored lotus, each petal distinct, imbued with intense blood qi, indicating that while it symbolized purity now, it was extraordinarily demonic; this space was instantly flooded with myriad resentful thoughts from the lotus, as if countless souls lamented, supplicated, cursed.

For those of inadequate mentality, just these resentful whispers would suffice to unbalance their minds, creating vulnerabilities.

But Jiang Shu possessed an unwavering Dao Heart, resilient through all tribulations, immune to distraction by these resentful thoughts, recalling that he had been wounded previously due to falling for these sinister tricks.

The leap from Demon Monarch to Demon Venerable, each understanding of the Dao surpassed his own.

Despite this, before him was merely an avatar of a Demon Venerable.

However, this was not the time to contemplate this matter as the lotus abruptly wilted, and sudden void turbulence scattered the petals in various directions, swirling around toward Jiang Shu.

The petals drifted down leisurely; even a newly initiated cultivator on the cultivation path could evade them, let alone a Vientiane Daoist Monarch, but Jiang Shu’s heart raised an abrupt sensation that the contained Dao had locked onto him, evading was futile.

He dared not be careless, retrieving an anciently styled large mirror and refining it above in the void.

The mirror resembled a black hole, absorbing all Dao Rhymes or those venomous murmurs entirely, seemingly capable of devouring even the Great Dao.

This Swallowing Sky Mirror was gifted by the Supreme Sect Leader when he emerged from the Ancient Demon Sect Relics as the Deputy Sect Master of the True Martial Sect upon achieving the Vientiane Realm.

Suspended overhead, the Swallowing Sky Mirror resonated with his Devouring Dao.

Behind, from the Kunpeng Demon Wings, Devouring Power burst forth suddenly.

Dao Patterns interwoven in the void, forming almost a natural black hole, aiming to swallow everything before him entirely.
