Chapter 1317 - 699: Dividing the Heaven-Burning Ancestor! (Part 2)
Taiwu Daoist Venerable naturally did not know what Jiang Shu was thinking at this moment, his gaze seemed to penetrate everything, and until he confirmed safety, he looked at Jiang Shu, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed as he spoke:
"I didn’t expect to encounter the Great Dao Heavenly Sound here, it truly is troublesome."
Speaking of this matter, Taiwu Daoist Venerable remembered to explain, knowing Jiang Shu did not know these things, he began to speak.
"You must know, Daoist Masters and Demon Lords are all embodiments of heaven and earth. If we say we are comprehending the Great Dao, then Daoist Masters and Demon Lords are a further fusion with the Heavenly Dao. When they fall, their bodies and primordial spirits will completely become part of the Heavenly Dao. Though they may seem to remain in place, in reality, they resonate with the Heavenly Dao at any time."
"Such a resonance sound is the Great Dao Heavenly Sound, which is actually also the sound of the Heavenly Dao. The Great Dao we comprehend belongs under the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, all means are futile."
"Even with thousands of abilities, under the Great Dao Heavenly Sound, it is extremely dangerous."
Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s expression was incomparably solemn, as he said, "Only existences like Daoist Masters or Demon Lords can wield means to resist in the Great Dao Heavenly Sound. But Heaven-Burning Ancestor..."
"Could he fall?"
Jiang Shu furrowed his eyebrows.
He hadn’t expected such a change to arise.
According to the Supreme Sect Leader, this Great Dao Heavenly Sound is the resonance of the Dao after a Demon Lord falls and assimilates with the Great Dao.
Daoist Venerables and Demon Venerables would all be completely assimilated by the Great Dao Heavenly Sound here.
But this Heaven-Burning Ancestor, after all, is already at the Half-step Demon Lord level.
Perhaps there is indeed some variable of resistance.
Jiang Shu did not like this kind of variable.
"No, I also don’t know, he might directly fall. After all, his many means may not be effective before the Great Dao Heavenly Sound."
"But it’s also possible that under the Great Dao Heavenly Sound, he might further approach the Heavenly Dao than before, completely take a complete step, and ascend to a true Demon Lord!"
Taiwu Daoist Venerable looked into the distance, unwilling to stay here for long.
"Let’s go, we leave now, to wait outside."
The two quickly retreated from this place, no longer hesitating.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding land had already collapsed, and the entire valley was almost filled with a large amount of rubble.
The two came to the sky; Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and began to endlessly devour the surrounding primordial qi to restore himself.
He had just tangled with Heaven-Burning Ancestor for a while, so he wasn’t injured, yet the consumption inside his body was still considerable.
In an instant, the black devouring Dao aura spread out, quickly absorbing all the spiritual energy around.
"Whew!"
Jiang Shu slowly exhaled a murky breath, the World Tree in his inner world bloomed with a blue light.
And at this moment, one figure after another roared and stood in the void one by one.
Jiang Shu’s gaze swept over; they were all Daoist Venerables from other sects.
"Taiwu Dao You, what on earth happened here?"
The figure of the Supreme Sect Leader of the Hidden Sword Sect was like a sharp sword, and his voice also resonated like a sword ringing. Behind him, a virtual shadow of sword qi seemed to have the power to reach the heavens.
In his gaze, there was a hint of anxiety.
"Indeed, notifying us in such a hurry, there must be something significant."
The Supreme Sect Leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect also immediately asked.
Among the Eight Great Sects’ Supreme Sect Leaders, Taiwu Daoist Venerable was almost second only to the Supreme Sect Leader of the Dao Yi Sect.
Even the top Demon Venerables in the Demon Race might not be Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s opponent.
But even Taiwu Daoist Venerable promptly contacted them through a secret order just now.
It shows that this matter is no trivial matter, and it might even be related to a Demon Lord.
It should be noted that even before the Demon Race had major surges, even with the activation of the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array that created several Demon Venerables, these Supreme Sect Leaders hadn’t paid attention.
At this moment, the remaining two Daoist Venerables showed a bewildered expression.
They both were Daoist Venerables from the Dao Yi Sect, with one being at the Mixed Cave Realm Late Stage and the other at the Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage.
Among Daoist Venerables, they were undeniably powerful.
But now, in front of Taiwu Daoist Venerable and the Supreme Sect Leaders of the Hidden Sword Sect and Heavenly Puppet Sect, they did not dare to speak up.
After all, these three had truly reached the peak of the Mixed Cave Realm.
As long as they are willing, they all have the potential to ascend to become Daoist Masters.
"Even Daoist Venerables from the Dao Yi Sect have arrived, then I will address it all at once."
"Sigh, beneath this site, there’s an ancient battlefield relic."
Taiwu Daoist Venerable took a deep breath; he did not intend to hide the matter from the Dao Yi Sect.
He had deduced it here through divination and records in ancient texts.
Arranging for Jiang Shu to come was just to make a confirmation.
After all, his presence attracts too much attention; rushing could be detected by the Supreme Sect Leader of the Dao Yi Sect.
After all, this place had already been claimed by the Dao Yi Sect.
But now, it seems this problem could not be avoided.
Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s voice carried a hint of seriousness.
"Our Supreme Mysterious Daoist Venerable traveled all the way here to suppress the Demon Race, unexpectedly found relics here, and although two Demon Venerables were slain, it also attracted the pursuit of Heaven-Burning Ancestor who has stepped into the Half-step Demon Lord Realm."
"If it weren’t for the decisive action and timely contact of Supreme Mysterious Daoist Venerable and my hurried arrival, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"But even so, when I was engaged in a fierce battle with Heaven-Burning Ancestor, I might have triggered the great array within the relic, causing the appearance of the Great Dao Heavenly Sound..."
In a few words, Taiwu Daoist Venerable recounted the recent events and deftly removed himself from responsibility.
He explained that it was Jiang Shu who found this opportunity, so if something were to be truly gained here later, Jiang Shu would justifiably take a share of the opportunity.
Taiwu Daoist Venerable spoke slowly, but everyone present was dumbstruck.
Ancient battlefield!
Great Dao Heavenly Sound!
Demon Lord remnants!
...
The events and items within this relic were already beyond their expectations.
"Moreover, just now in my confrontation with that Heaven-Burning old monster, he inadvertently revealed that there seem to be more than ten such relics, which the Demon Race is likely already searching and excavating."
Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s eyebrows slightly furrowed!
The remnants of Demon Lord level existence are to be absolutely avoided for those cultivating in lower tiers.
If careless, even top experts like him and Heaven-Burning Ancestor might encounter disaster.
Yet such supreme danger also confirms a great opportunity.
If a remnant of a Demon Lord level were to be obtained by them, even if it could not advance further, it would still boost their battle power.
Especially with the current great war between the Human Clan and the Demon Race.
The more they gain, the less the Demon Race holds.
"Heaven-Burning Demon Lord is within the Great Dao Heavenly Sound; he is only at the Half-step Demon Lord Realm, unlikely to advance further in the Great Dao Heavenly Sound, but nonetheless, as soon as he leaves, we will kill him directly!"
The Supreme Sect Leader of the Hidden Sword Sect spoke without hesitation. His eyes were blazing, clearly immediately understanding Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s intention.
After all, if not for the need to eliminate Heaven-Burning Ancestor, with Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s strength, there would be no need to invite them here.
Moreover, speaking up like this is by no means without reason.
No matter how strong Heaven-Burning Ancestor is, he is just a Half-step Demon Lord, not a true Demon Lord.
Even at his peak, he might not be able to escape from in front of these three Supreme Sect Leaders.
Let alone now, within the Demon Race relic, where Heaven-Burning Demon Lord is still resisting against the Great Dao Heavenly Sound.
Once he emerges, his strength is bound to be much diminished!
After all, this Heaven-Burning Demon Lord’s realm was forcibly instilled through a great array, not through self-realization.
With insufficient comprehension, how could he possibly advance further within the Great Dao Heavenly Sound.
"My intention is the same; that old demon’s body can be left for me..."
The Supreme Sect Leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect looked eagerly, unable to resist swallowing.
Even he had never possessed a body of Demon Lord level.
Although Heaven-Burning Ancestor is merely a Half-step Demon Lord.
Yet a Half-step Demon Lord is still a Demon Lord.
Even if the body is already crippled, it is much more powerful than puppets refined by some Demon Venerable Late Stage.
