Realm-Hopping Martial Master

With these thoughts in mind, Ao Kun was actually quite disdainful of Jiang Shu.

However, only when they truly fought today did Ao Kun finally understand what kind of monster Golden Horn had faced back then.

"Golden Horn actually managed to fight this kind of monster to a draw—how did he even do it?"

In just a short while, the two Demon Venerables, Ao Kun and Li Yao, were beaten until sweat streamed down their backs.

Under Jiang Shu’s full-force assault, ignoring the Power of Heaven and Earth Rejection, the two Demon Venerables were like men walking a tightrope.

As long as they deviated even a tiny fraction, they would plunge straight down to their deaths!

A life-and-death situation!

Jiang Shu struck again, one foot stamping onto the ground, and a vast stretch of land once more shattered inch by inch, his entire figure like a great sun falling.

Suddenly, mysterious patterns lit up across Jiang Shu’s body, even spreading onto the Desolate Star Halberd!

This Treasure, refined by a Saint Avatar, was at this moment almost swung into a crescent shape as it cleaved straight toward Li Yao.

"Not good!"

Li Yao’s whole body trembled; he didn’t dare to clash head-on, and unleashed his full strength as six great suns appeared behind him once more.

As for himself, he immediately turned to flee, lest he be caught up in the battlefield’s shockwaves.

"Boom!"

That so-called Six Sun Yang Heavenly Patrol Technique was shattered in an instant, and the surrounding space was torn apart like ragged cloth.

Even without taking the blow directly, the spreading aftermath made Li Yao groan, repeatedly falling back.

Ao Kun’s pupils shrank at the sight; he hurriedly thrust out a Dragon Claw in sudden aid.

If anything happened to Li Yao, and he alone had to face Jiang Shu in battle...

Then he would be doomed without a doubt!

Clang!

When both sides exchanged this strike, the Desolate Star Halberd in Jiang Shu’s hand met the Dragon Claw squarely, cleaving right onto it!

Countless sparks erupted at once as the Desolate Star Halberd skated across those Dragon Scales.

Until it pierced into flesh and blood!

"Aooo!"

Ao Kun couldn’t help but throw his head back in a howl, frantically fleeing.

"Damn it! Why hasn’t his state declined at all?!"

Li Yao finally caught his breath, forcing down his surging blood and numbness; the blood at the corner of his mouth flowed like a small stream.

"I don’t know."

Ao Kun forcibly suppressed a flicker of terror in his heart and shook his head.

He was starting to be scared of this slaughter.

Such battle power from Jiang Shu had already exceeded his imagination.

The two demons could be certain that Jiang Shu was absolutely going all out; otherwise, there was no way he could have suppressed them to such a state!

Since he was going all out, he had to be resonating with the external heavens and earth; that meant while absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, he should also be completely rejected by the heavens and earth!

Yet now Jiang Shu was still as vigorous as a dragon and as fierce as a tiger, as if fighting another three hundred rounds would be no problem.

Could Jiang Shu be just forcibly holding on?

This thought surfaced in Li Yao’s heart.

But watching Jiang Shu charge in again to kill, without the slightest sign of delay, he immediately dismissed that notion.

If he really were just forcing himself, what kind of terrifying will would it take to endure this?

For the moment, the two Great Demons kept fighting on, but even as they unleashed everything, they were still firmly suppressed by Jiang Shu.

As time ticked by, the hearts of these two Demon Venerables grew more and more frantic.

Originally they’d pinned their hopes on Jiang Shu failing to endure the Power of Heaven and Earth Rejection in the very next instant.

But right now, Jiang Shu remained perfectly fine.

The ones in danger were them...

Why?

The Demon Race Imperial Palace’s methods prepared for them were gradually slipping out of control at this moment.

The two of them were starting to be unable to bear the Power of Heaven and Earth Rejection.

"But why, why are you fine—can you ignore it?!"

"Idiot."

Jiang Shu only responded with a cold laugh, attacking madly.

Li Yao dodged left and right, wounds covering his body, large swathes of crimson feathers raining through the sky.

Ao Kun was no better off; Dragon Scales were pried off one piece after another, and his worst injury was that he’d almost been skewered through by the Desolate Star Halberd.

And in the midst of this ceaseless slaughter, the repulsive force on the two demons’ bodies was already beyond their control.

At this very moment, Jiang Shu’s state dipped slightly; his speed and power both dropped a bit.

Yet compared to the two demons, the gap between both sides was actually still widening!

How could this be possible!

Ao Kun cursed inwardly; just then, his dark-golden Dragon Eyes suddenly contracted, having seen something.

"T-that’s..."

He abruptly sucked in a breath of cold air and instantly understood why Jiang Shu could still be as vigorous as a dragon and fierce as a tiger till now.

He focused his gaze: on Jiang Shu’s body surface, there was a layer of fissures floating!

Right!

A layer of fissures—space fissures!

Those space fissures were composed of countless tiny cracks, densely packed, extremely numerous, yet each one extremely fine.

So much so that during the previous exchanges, neither he nor Li Yao had noticed.

After all, at that time their heads had been filled with just one thought: how to escape Jiang Shu’s full-power eruption.

Now they realized they’d been wrong—hopelessly wrong!

"Madman, you’re constantly creating and annihilating space fissures—aren’t you afraid of setting yourself on fire?!"

Li Yao had also sensed something and immediately burst out cursing!

"So what? I’m still perfectly alive, aren’t I."

Jiang Shu snorted in response.

In the previous tribulations, Jiang Shu had already comprehended how to deal with this Power of Heaven and Earth Rejection.

There was only one method—space fissures!

The Power of Heaven and Earth Rejection would indeed continuously arise; space fissures could temporarily offset a portion of that power.

Previously, on his way here, Jiang Shu had experienced all kinds of space fissures.

When those space fissures opened, they would swallow the black undercurrents formed by the Power of Heaven and Earth Rejection around them into the Void.

That sparked a thought in Jiang Shu’s heart.

"If I continuously create and destroy minute space fissures just outside my body, wouldn’t that let me reduce the impact of Heaven and Earth Rejection to a certain extent?"

On the way here, Jiang Shu had already begun experimenting.

The space fissures he created were extremely tiny, with very weak power.

Yet this stretch of space was indeed very fragile, and those fissures did in fact connect to the Void.

Subsequently, Jiang Shu opened up a method in a short time.

That was to densely cover his body with minute space fissures, then inhale and exhale Spiritual Energy, letting the Spiritual Energy pass through those tiny gaps in the fissures.

Put simply, it was equivalent to a layer of filtration membrane.

A portion of the Power of Heaven and Earth Rejection would be swallowed directly into the fissures, filtered away.

Of course, a large amount of Spiritual Energy would inevitably be wasted.

But that wasn’t a big problem.

The real danger lay in how to control such dense and numerous space fissures, and prevent them from expanding.

This was why Ao Kun and Li Yao were calling Jiang Shu a madman!

If fighting Jiang Shu was like walking a tightrope for them...

Right now, Ao Kun and Li Yao’s hearts were full of bitterness.

They did know how Jiang Shu was doing it now.

But they couldn’t do it!

If given enough time, perhaps they could slowly comprehend it.

But at this very moment, in the midst of a life-and-death battle...

How could they possibly split their minds, fighting on one hand while weaving a net of space fissures around themselves?

More importantly, these Void cracks might look simple, but in truth they were an extremely profound application of the Space Dao.

Their mastery of the Space Dao as Demon Venerables could only match that of an ordinary Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage Daoist Venerable.

What Jiang Shu was displaying now was already comparable to a Daoist Venerable Late Stage!

"Next, I’d like to see just how you plan to stop me!"

A savage look surfaced on Jiang Shu’s face, then he bared his teeth in a grin.

He strode forward, and inside Jiang Shu’s body, the Space Law, Creation Law, Taichu Law, Soul Law... many Laws all erupted at once, merging together as one, coursing through his entire body; at this moment, he seemed to have advanced yet again.

All those Laws at this instant seemed to transform into pure Power, forcibly fused and unified, exploding with an extremely terrifying aura!

Even the Desolate Star Halberd in his hand seemed to sense its master’s will, its dark-red shaft now like flowing magma, radiating an aura of annihilation.

"Kill!"

Jiang Shu spoke at once, his killing intent soaring to the absolute limit.

This time, he used no Great Technique at all, only pure brutality, pure Power, pure killing intent!
