Chapter 1315 - 698: Sect Leader Takes Action, Overpowering Heaven-Burning!
Taiwu Daoist Venerable took a step forward, shaking his head.
He once again came into close contact with Heaven-Burning Ancestor, originally thinking it was just due to his forceful breakthrough that resulted in chaotic foundations.
Now it seems that the Great Array of the Demon Race, which crafted this Half-step Demon Lord, is merely so.
The peak of Heaven-Burning Ancestor is also just so.
It’s possible that it will decline more and more over time.
He stepped forward and immediately appeared in the depths of the ruins.
At this moment, the depths of this battlefield site had already transformed into a blazing inferno battleground.
Countless crimson flames scattered around, and the ground and even the pale skeletons had been scorched to ash. Staying here, one could feel a great annihilating aura!
"Taiwu, it’s you again! You come to ruin my plans again!"
In this battlefield, Heaven-Burning Ancestor, who was continuously suppressing Jiang Shu, turned his gaze, hatred in his eyes nearly manifesting into Divine Fire.
"This kid has immense fortune. I only wanted to see if he could bait some fish, but little did I expect that it would be you who took the bait!"
Taiwu Daoist Venerable spoke calmly, rarely showing a hint of joy.
"You dream of keeping me here!"
Heaven-Burning Ancestor spread his wings wide, roaring hideously, staring at Taiwu Daoist Venerable.
"This place should serve as the burial site for the two of you!"
"Since you were injured last time, how much of your Half-step Daoist Lord cultivation can you actually exert?"
Taiwu Daoist Venerable spoke faintly, with no trace of surprise.
"Fine, then let us fight!"
Suddenly, Heaven-Burning Ancestor was the first to strike, transforming into a scarlet long rainbow that burst forth, heaven-engulfing flames swirling around his body like a billowing scarlet cloak.
Can’t drag this out!
Taiwu Daoist Venerable, although only at the Chaos Hole Realm, his underlying foundation is too deep; he could break through the realm anytime and forcefully suppress him here.
So-called fighting to the death is Heaven-Burning Ancestor trying to find a chance to escape!
"Fight?"
"Even against my clone, you might not be an opponent."
"Now, you still want to run?"
Taiwu Daoist Venerable glanced around; how could he not understand Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s intentions?
Since he appeared here, he was prepared to completely annihilate Heaven-Burning Ancestor.
After all, Heaven-Burning Ancestor immediately came upon receiving the first news regarding Jiang Shu.
It shows that his fury toward Jiang Shu is indeed immense.
Dealing with Heaven-Burning Ancestor will significantly enhance Jiang Shu’s safety in the Demon Domain.
At the same time, Heaven-Burning Ancestor has acquired some understanding of Jiang Shu’s other Demon Race identity, the secret of the Golden Horn.
Though merely speculation, it’s inevitably a hidden threat.
If any accidents occur in the future, even if they don’t involve Jiang Shu’s true form, losing a clone is regrettable, and it would affect the larger scheme thereafter.
From any perspective, he must ensure Heaven-Burning Ancestor remains!
He struck again, his prepared right hand forming a seal technique; the battlefield ruins began to buzz, and vast Earth Vein Evil Qi surged up. Then, it exploded into dozens of brilliant golden rays, rumbling towards Heaven-Burning Ancestor.
In an instant, each Great Dao became a raging Golden Dragon, each seeming to have Supreme power, recklessly pouncing towards Heaven-Burning Ancestor.
"Roar!"
Facing Taiwu Daoist Venerable, Heaven-Burning Ancestor didn’t dare to be negligent; at this moment, he even disregarded exposing his full power, which would be targeted by the Great Array.
Directly manifested his original form.
Above the Void, a gigantic blazing Phoenix appeared hideously.
He spread his wings, and countless Divine Flames burst forth.
As the fight resumed, Heaven-Burning Ancestor cried out long and loud, without dodging, crashing into the sea of crimson flames.
The strike from Taiwu Daoist Venerable was so strong that it could severely hurt or even kill most Demon Venerable Late Stage.
However, Heaven-Burning Ancestor is after all a Half-step Demon Lord, truly explosive, by no means ordinary.
Bang!
In an instant, countless Great Daos clashed between both sides.
Jiang Shu, originally at the battlefield center, had long escaped to the side.
His gaze firmly memorized both figures on the battlefield.
Every change in the Great Daos entered his eyes.
To him, especially the Supreme Sect Leader, Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s every move was worthy of his study and understanding.
At this moment, Heaven-Burning Ancestor was enveloped by a layer of fire attire. Amidst the sky, it billowed like an eternal flame forged by heaven and earth.
In just an instant, both sides clashed thousands of times.
Earth Dao and Fire Dao battled fiercely; one side was extremely heavy, the other extremely rampant!
The terrifying collision of the two forces condensed into a Black Hole at the center of the clash, absorbing everything around before erupting suddenly!
Jiang Shu quickly retreated, not daring to linger too long at the edge of the battlefield, concealing directly behind Taiwu Daoist Venerable, his gaze revealing a deep contemplation.
"A battle of this level is indeed extraordinary; Heavens-Burning Ancestor compared to last time seems stronger, though uncontrollable..."
Jiang Shu’s eyes were incredibly bright; last time, he wasn’t even qualified to observe, but now he could stand openly.
As the battle continued, Jiang Shu absorbed the realm of both sides like a dry sponge.
And suddenly, after countless clashes, extracting power, a sudden explosion occurred!
Boom!
In an instant, this entire relic trembled endlessly, seeming unable to withstand the pinnacle battle between the two strong figures.
Jiang Shu’s eyes suddenly brightened, noticing an opportunity!
"A perfect chance; if I strike now, perhaps I can add weight to the battle!"
Just as Jiang Shu intended to act, an abrupt change emerged, causing both Heaven-Burning Ancestor and Taiwu Daoist Venerable to halt, jointly gazing at the deepest part of the ruins.
"This is..."
Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s calm face for once showed a hint of astonishment.
He hadn’t expected his and Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s battle to actually trigger a change here.
In a blink, Heaven-Burning Ancestor similarly retreated, pupils contracting.
Suddenly, both shuddered, seeing an unforgettable scene.
Seemingly due to their excessively intense battle, numerous divine lights erupted, displaying the myriad colors of the heavens, like rainbows, even containing countless chaotic divine lights, nurturing an aura as if from ancient beginnings, continually revealing various extraordinary aspects!
"This..."
The three Venerables present all narrowed their eyes, sensing an extremely high essence!
Jiang Shu took a deep breath, his heart, no, the World Tree within his Chaos Hole Space suddenly trembled.
Not out of fear, not from intimidation, but from quenching!
It seemed there was something at the root of that divine light that the World Tree extremely desired, so much so that if it weren’t for its lack of sentience, Jiang Shu would suspect it would leap from his Chaos Hole Space, relentlessly charging forward.
"Unexpectedly, at these numerous battlefield ruins, something of great treasure emerges here!"
In an instant, Heaven-Burning Ancestor roared insanely, his eyes full of ecstatic joy, even out of control.
In a blink, Heaven-Burning Ancestor charged directly toward that trace of immortal light, with great speed.
"Not good!"
Taiwu Daoist Venerable immediately sought to stop him.
Regardless, the treasure here may come forth, it must never fall into the hands of the Demon Race.
"Jiang Shu, go and seize those treasures. As for Heaven-Burning, leave it to me!"
In the next breath, Taiwu Daoist Venerable immediately took a step forward; though it seemed just a step, countless spaces compressed in that moment, as if a thousand steps were taken.
Taiwu Daoist Venerable appeared right behind Heaven-Burning Ancestor.
A hand abruptly reached out.
