Two Realms: A giant of immortal martial arts emerges from low Wu Gan

The Imperial Palace is a demon clan force that emerged after the start of the racial war. It includes all the emerging demon lords and is the highest command authority of the demon clan.

True mid-stage or higher demon lords almost always go into seclusion in the deepest part of the realm.

After all, the key to truly winning the great war lies in the core combat forces of both the human and demon races.

Advancing to even one more level can tip the scales of victory slightly.

This golden-horned demon antelope is a member of the Imperial Palace.

Another female elder from the Creation Sect frowned.

"The Earth Dragon's Turnaround of the Thick Earth Dao Venerable requires time to accumulate power, but as soon as the aura is revealed, the Demon Antelope will launch a will attack to forcibly interrupt it."

"The Great Sun Furnace Array of the Douxing Sect was corroded by the foul blood light spewed out by the poisonous pythons in the city before it was even started!"

"If this continues, let alone breaching the city, we Dao Venerables may suffer considerable injuries, and the casualties among our disciples will also be terrifying!"

Her face looked very pale; clearly, the situation was extremely difficult.

This Golden Horned Demon Antelope is no ordinary creature; it possesses profound expertise in the arts of soul and defense, reaching the pinnacle of defensive prowess. If they didn't have a blade sharp enough to shatter an entire city, they would likely have no choice but to call for reinforcements, otherwise they would truly be worn down to death.

"attack!"

"Can't stop!"

A man clad in fine armor and carrying a greatsword roared:
"If we take a step back, the pressure on our rear defenses will increase exponentially!"

"The demons from Thousand Streams are gathering behind us. If we get bogged down here and they get caught in a pincer attack, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

He had lived in Fuhai City for a long time in the past, and had witnessed the tragic scene of the demon race attacking the city when he was a child. He had a blood feud with the demon race.

The atmosphere inside the tent was as heavy as iron.

The sustained high-intensity offensive not only caused huge damage, but also eroded morale.

The three demon lords of the demon race cooperated skillfully: one guarded, one disrupted and corroded, and the other served as the mainstay, using offense as defense. In addition, the demon pattern shield of the city was sturdy, and the top human forces were unable to break through it, getting stuck in a quagmire of stalemate and bitter struggle.

Every moment of delay meant countless human cultivators were sacrificed on the battlefield.

Just then, the monk on lookout duty suddenly cried out in alarm.

"Look! What is that?!"

Almost simultaneously, high in the air, the Sword Master of the Hidden Sword Sect and the Fire Master of the Dao One Sect, who were being constantly harassed and attacked by the demon race, as well as several commanding elders in the fortress, all suddenly felt an extremely subtle but pure and vast spatial fluctuation sweep across the battlefield.

At the same time, Lu Chong, who was far away, looked at Jiang Shu, whose figure had become blurred in an instant, and whispered, "Be careful, that Golden Horned Demon Antelope is no easy opponent."

He can now be considered one of the main generals of the human army, and naturally knows these powerful demon lords like the back of his hand.

In his view, even if Jiang Shu had been promoted to Dao Venerable, he should only be at the initial stage.

Even one's spiritual realm may not be able to stabilize.

Against the White Tiger Demon Lord, who is only at the half-step Demon Lord realm, he might be able to kill him instantly.

However, when facing a Demon Lord, or even a Demon Lord who has reached the mid-stage, Jiang Shu's foundation might still be somewhat insufficient.

For Jiang Shu, the Supreme Daoist Master of the Tai Xuan, the most important thing should be to develop quietly.

With Jiang Shu's talent, he might be able to completely stabilize his realm in a few years, and it wouldn't be too late for him to reappear in the world.

But these words, though they lingered in his throat, ultimately remained unspoken.

The gap between him and Jiang Shu is widening.

If it weren't for my encounter and connection with Jiang Shu in the ancient demonic ruins...

Judging from their respective levels of understanding, if they met again, he would have to be extremely respectful. If Jiang Shu didn't speak, how could he possibly have a chance to say anything?

"rest assured."

Jiang Shu's voice remained steady; he could naturally discern what Lu Chong was thinking.

But everything he experienced in the Star Ruins Realm was something that people in the vast Cangmang Domain could never even imagine.

A sage preaching?

In the vast and boundless realm, how many saints can compare to the one at the Saint's Tomb?

In the Demon Realm, there are some Demon Lords who are indeed at the Venerable level. But the sky they see is at most just like this.

With the Demon Lord absent, the Demon Venerable realm is practically the highest level.

In a sense, the Venerable One is already the strongest being in the vast Cangmang Domain.

Their understanding of the Dao will stagnate.

Especially the Demon Lord, whose intelligence is inherently inferior to that of the human race.

His understanding of the Great Dao is naturally somewhat inferior.

The reason they have a better chance of winning in battle is because of their innate physical strength.

But all that power was nothing compared to Jiang Shu's.

In the Star Ruins Realm, what he comprehended most was the law of space.

However, within the battle alliance, through his interactions with the most outstanding talents, his mastery of the Dao of Power had already reached a completely new level.

His physical body has also been tempered to the point of being almost invincible among those in the same realm.

Not to mention, in the world he created within his body, the World Tree contained endless vitality and countless Dao energy, flowing through every inch of his skin and every acupoint.

Jiang Shu took a step forward, his voice seemingly devoid of any emotion, but his figure vanished from the spot the moment he finished speaking.

He didn't pilot any flying artifact, nor did he unleash a dazzling light to attract attention. He simply and naturally appeared, as if blending into the wind, taking a single step and silently appearing directly above the dark red protective shield of Riftstone City!

In the city of Lieshi.

The Azure Wind Demon Eagle atop the tallest tower immediately let out a sharp warning cry.

It sensed an unspeakable danger.

The unicorn serpent coiled on the altar suddenly raised its huge triangular head, its scarlet forked tongue flicking violently, emitting a hissing sound of alertness.

Above the city lord's mansion at the very center, the Golden Horned Demon Antelope, which had been coldly observing the battle, suddenly looked up. Its pair of cold, pale golden vertical pupils instantly contracted to needles, locking onto the figure that suddenly appeared directly above the city's protective barrier. The figure was devoid of any brilliance but exuded an immense sense of oppression.

There were no violent ripples from spatial travel, no astonishing prelude to an energy burst; the person seemed to appear directly in front of them from the endless void.

A silent chill crept into the heart of the Golden Horned Demon Antelope, hard as a rock, for the first time.

To be able to disregard air restrictions and shield detection so easily, and instantly appear above the most heavily protected core, this control over space is truly unprecedented.

What alarmed it even more was that its powerful perception, honed to the mid-stage of a demon lord, could barely detect a tiny spatial ripple just a moment before the figure appeared.

The opponent is very strong, and their methods are unpredictable!

The two sides were locked in fierce battle below the city when a powerful enemy suddenly appeared above.

A silent dark cloud instantly enveloped the hearts of the three demon lords atop Riftstone City.

Reaching the realm of Demon Lord requires experiencing countless crises and hardships, so one naturally has an absolute awareness of true life-or-death crises.

Just as all eyes were focused on the mysterious blue figure, the figure finally moved.

He didn't say a word, nor did he even make any starting gestures; his movements were extremely simple.

He simply raised his right palm and gently pressed it down on the dark red energy shield below, which remained resilient despite countless bombardments and exuded a nauseating stench of blood and immense demonic power.

The movements were slow and gentle, devoid of any trace of arrogance. It was as if they were not unleashing earth-shattering power, but rather lightly brushing dust off a table.

However, the moment his fair and slender hand pressed down, the space above the entire Riftstone City suddenly froze.

Time seemed to slow down abruptly here. The surging acid hung suspended in mid-air, the falling boulders froze, the roaring monsters kept their ferocious roars with their gaping maws open, and the weapons of the allied soldiers below the city were frozen in the moment of slashing. All the noise was put on pause.

What followed was utter collapse!

Without a sound, centered on the spot where Jiang Shu's palm landed, the seemingly indestructible dark red shield that had fused the power of the three demon lords and the demon patterns of the entire city suddenly caved inward, just like glass being smashed hard by an invisible giant hammer!

Countless fine cracks, like a spider web, spread out instantly, accompanied by a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

It moved so fast that it covered the entire dome of the protective shield in almost an instant!

Within the cracks lay a darkness that seemed capable of swallowing everything.

Jiang Shu is too strong.

The Devouring Dao, the Desolate Dao, and the Primordial Dao restored the great formation to its most basic state. The Dao of Power, along with the Dao of Sharpness, crashed down with a devastating force that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

In terms of the power of a single Great Dao, Jiang Shu might not be able to compare with many Dao Venerables.

But his advantage lies in the fact that every single path he comprehends is incredibly powerful.

The fusion of these great principles has reached an inconceivable level!

The expressions of the three demon lords in Riftstone City changed drastically.

They had considered the power of that palm strike.

But I never imagined that this palm strike would be so unmatched.

Even some mid-stage Dao Venerables would never possess this ability!

The Azure Wind Demon Eagle flapped its wings wildly, screeching as it unleashed countless condensed, solid, deep azure wind blades in an attempt to reinforce the cracks in the protective shield.

"Roar!"

The unicorn serpent let out a deafening roar, spewing out a thick, foul jet of blood that, imbued with a powerful corrosive and filthy intent, crashed into the despairing attack from the sky.

But their reactions were all a step too slow.

Because the shield collapsed much faster than imagined.

With a crisp cracking sound that seemed to resonate deep within everyone's soul, the massive dark red energy shield covering the entire Riftstone City collapsed completely, starting from the dome, like a glacier crumbling!
Dark red fragments scattered like rain of light, turning into specks of pure demonic energy that dissipated, revealing the devastation below, the Shattered Stone City exposed to countless attacks.

For the first time, an emotion called "horror" appeared in the golden vertical pupils of the Golden Horned Antelope.

It didn't even see how the other party made the move; it only saw a simple, unadorned palm print pierce through the void and strike its own chest.

……

"Elder, a letter has arrived from the rear!"

Just as the two clans were locked in a stalemate, a Nirvana Realm disciple came into the main tent and handed a piece of jade to the elder in front.

The elder sensed it for a moment, and his expression immediately changed.

"The Demon-Suppressing General ventured alone into the desolate desert and encountered danger!"

The demon-suppressing general he mentioned was Lu Chong of the Zhenwu Sect.

Why would he go there?

The female elder from the Creation Sect was also shocked.

As the saying goes, it is easy to find ten thousand soldiers, but difficult to find a general, let alone a natural-born commander like Lu Chong.

To put it bluntly, although Lu Chong is only at the early stage of Dao Lord, in terms of strategic value alone, he has already surpassed some elders at the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm!
Shouldn't this kind of person be heavily protected? How could he end up in such a dangerous place?

"I don't know either, but we must bring back the Demon-Suppressing General at all costs!"

The long-bearded elder stood up and said that he possessed the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and believed that as long as the Demon Lord did not take action, he could resolve any predicament.

"I'm handing over command here to you. I'll be right back."

These words were immediately rejected by the female elder.

"No!"

“I am far inferior to you in commanding battle formations. If something goes wrong on the battlefield, neither of us can bear the responsibility. Elder Xu should stay here. I am well-versed in all laws, and my understanding of the Great Dao of the Soul has made new progress. When it comes to finding people, you are no match for me.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than she sensed a tremendous change in the outside world.

This change was like a hurricane howling in, and the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) began to fluctuate wildly.

……

The atmosphere above the city of Riftstone was heavy and still.

The dark red protective array that had remained as solid as a mountain despite repeated attacks of magical techniques was instantly covered with spiderweb-like black cracks when Jiang Shu pressed it down with what seemed like a casual gesture. It was like an ice surface tossed with a stone.

Click!

The teeth-grinding cracking sound seemed to resonate directly within the souls of all those with keen senses.

It was a trembling sound of rules lamenting as the very foundation of space was forcibly dismantled.

Dark red energy fragments, like burning ashes, fluttered down from the cracked dome, transforming into pure primordial energy before even hitting the ground, only to be torn apart and devoured by the chaotic battlefield vortex.

The clamor on the city wall froze for a moment.

Whether it was the roaring monsters or the demon soldiers relentlessly unleashing bone spears and poisoned arrows, their movements froze for a moment.

For the first time, the blue figure above was clearly reflected in the depths of those scarlet, violent pupils, as well as the cold, real starlight pouring in through the gaps in the collapsing array!

"who!"

"Be bold!"

"Roar!!!"

Above the city lord's mansion, the roar of the Golden Horned Demon Antelope finally exploded, filled with a ferocity born of utter rage and a hint of fear that even it itself was unaware of.

On those menacing horns, curved like dark gold scimitars, ancient runes suddenly lit up, flowing with a dazzling light like molten gold.

With a roar, its enormous body took a step forward and stomped heavily on the void above the City Lord's Mansion!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Dark golden shockwaves spread out at a visible speed, like ripples caused by a boulder thrown into water, carrying an incomparably heavy will that seemed capable of crushing the void.

Countless spatial turbulence roared between heaven and earth.

At this moment, this mid-stage Demon Lord unleashed its boundless demonic power.

The demonic energy was chaotic, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.

Wherever it passed, the demonic runes on the walls of Riftstone City that had not yet been completely extinguished were forcibly activated, spewing out blood-red flames in an attempt to stabilize the collapsing formation.

The target of this shockwave was Jiang Shu, who was suspended in mid-air above! (End of Chapter)
