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

"boom!"

Like a star crashing into a black hole, the crimson destructive light burst forth with unprecedented light and heat, but its core momentum, upon touching the colorless force field, was like surging magma encountering endless, frigid permafrost.

For the first time, the destructive power that seemed capable of annihilating everything faltered, as if it had crashed into an unimaginably sticky glue.

Jiang Shu's gaze pierced through the exploding flames, precisely locking onto the core imprint belonging to the life essence of the Golden Horned Demon Antelope within the crimson light.

His fist moved.

It's not as fast as lightning, but rather it moves forward with an inescapable sense of "rules".

His fighting spirit has changed!

It's no longer just about "force," that's just the skeleton.

The aura of the Primordial Dao quietly permeated the air, and an ancient aura of primordial chaos and the origin of all things emanated from the fist, as if to return everything to its original state of chaos.

Following closely behind was a sense of desolation.

That is the ultimate emptiness where even the very foundation of existence is to be completely erased.

The power of space was no longer a tool, but had transformed into flowing scales on his fist. Layers of space were compressed and twisted in front of his fist, like a giant hammer forging steel.

The power of devouring is hidden at the core of the fist shadow, silent and stealthy, yet ready to devour all the remnants that dare to resist.

Even the cosmic vision he comprehended while refining the black stone transformed into an imprint of his will, merging into his fist technique, giving this punch the supreme spirit of creating heaven and earth and reshaping the universe.

The All-Encompassing Fist!
This punch lived up to its name!

It is no longer a display of a single Great Dao, but a supreme offensive technique formed by Jiang Shu based on the Venerable Realm, integrating the true meaning of multiple Great Daos, after being settled within the Eternal Tower, nourished by the World Tree sapling, and baptized by the laws of the Black Stone Space.

It resembles a small, nascent, yet incredibly powerful, cosmic model, encompassing chaos, the laws of operation, and the release of ultimate power!
The core imprint of the fist and the crimson light finally erupted after a period of extreme stillness.

laugh!
A short, sharp screech ripped through the sky.

Jiang Shu's fist firmly blocked the very tip of the destructive stream of light. The extreme scarlet destructive light was like encountering ice that had never melted for billions of years, and was actually stopped an inch in front of his fist.

The Golden Horned Demon Antelope's forward momentum was forcibly frozen, and the vast energy it unleashed by burning its life force was frantically pulled and absorbed by the vortex of force field rotating and collapsing on that fist.

It's as if an invisible millstone is grinding the stars.

"Do not!!"

The horrified roar of the golden-horned antelope finally rang out, filled with unbelievable fear and extreme resentment.

He felt that all his life's strength, even the destructive torrent unleashed by burning his bloodline and life essence, was being mercilessly "devoured" by that fist!
Before that seemingly ordinary fist lay an abyss from which even light could not escape.

This stalemate lasted for nearly a dozen breaths.

puff!
A dull, heart-stopping soft sound rang out, as if a bubble that had expanded to its limit had been popped.

The Great Dao of Power took the lead, instantly shattering the final defensive core of the Golden Horned Demon Antelope.

The primordial energy swept through, annihilating the activity in its energy structure.

The desolation spreads, erasing the very traces of its original existence.

The power of space completely shattered the spatial protection surrounding it, exposing its true form entirely to the strangulation field of multiple laws.

The devouring power surged upwards like the gaping maw of a gluttonous beast!

The scarlet light, like a candle flickering in the wind, was suddenly extinguished.

The aura of destruction in the sky dissipated as quickly as the tide receded.

The massive body of the Golden Horned Demon Antelope froze in mid-air, maintaining its unstoppable charging posture. The tip of its golden horn, which had once stirred up the wind and clouds, was only three inches away from Jiang Shu's fist.

But three inches is already a chasm between life and death.

A tiny crack quietly appeared on the golden mark between the eyebrows of the Golden Horned Demon Antelope.

The cracks spread silently, covering its massive demonic body in the blink of an eye.

His enormous, beastly eyes, filled with ferocity and terror, lost their luster like sandstorms, finally settling on boundless bewilderment.

In the next instant, without a sound, the powerful demonic body of the Golden Horned Demon Antelope, a mid-stage demon lord, along with the remaining energy from burning its life force, began to collapse and decompose silently from the inside, like a sand sculpture thrown into a crusher.

There was no flying blood and flesh, no splattering bone fragments; only the purest matter and energy, stripped of their original form and broken down into the most basic energy particles.

In the end, even his incredibly sturdy scales and bones, capable of withstanding the spells of a Venerable One, turned to dust, merging into the wind and disappearing completely.

On the spot, only a few wisps of annihilating black energy that could not be digested immediately and a trace of the original essence blood of the Golden Horned Demon Antelope remained. They seemed to still want to struggle and condense, but were completely annihilated by the remaining devouring power on Jiang Shu's fist.

The mighty Golden Horned Demon Antelope Demon Lord, a powerful figure from the Demon Emperor's Palace and renowned throughout the Demon Realm, was blasted into nothingness with a single punch right before everyone's eyes, leaving not even a trace behind!

Time seems to have frozen.

Inside and outside the city of Riftstone, millions of warriors from both races seemed to be frozen in place.

On the city wall, the demon soldiers and generals who were roaring wildly just a moment ago still had their mouths wide open, but no sound could be uttered from their throats anymore.

The cruelty and excitement in their eyes were like ice water poured over their heads, freezing instantly, then shattering into unspeakable terror and bewilderment.

That arrogant Golden Horn Ancestor... just like that, gone?

It was knocked out by that person's punch, without even a proper thud.
This feeling was a thousand times more absurd and terrifying than seeing the protective shield collapse instantly; the enormous cognitive shock left their minds blank.

"Golden...Golden Horn Ancestor..."

A demon captain who had barely reached the threshold of human transformation muttered to himself in a daze, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably, and finally collapsed to the ground with a "thud," a foul stench emanating from his lower body.

This slight sound seemed to ignite a fuse of fear.

"Our ancestor...has been killed!!"

"It's him!"

"That jinx! He's here again!!"

An old demon who had seen Jiang Shu wreak havoc in the inner domain of the demon race and had managed to escape finally recognized the figure in the blue Taoist robe.

Terrifying memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave, eroding his last shred of reason.

"That's Jiang Shu from the human race, that monster, he's back!"

"Run! Run away!"

The shrill, piercing screams filled with despair completely tore through the demon race's defenses.

Faced with Jiang Shu's "infamy," the discipline that had been barely maintained crumbled instantly.

The demon soldiers and generals no longer cared about city defenses or orders. Like ants whose nest had been disturbed, they frantically rushed into the city, seeking a sense of security or simply fleeing in all directions.

Trampling, shoving, desperate curses, and cries for help mingled together, and the entire city wall of Riftstone City was in complete chaos.

They recognized Jiang Shu, the fiend who once stirred up a bloodbath in the Demon Realm and whose pursuit even the Burning Heaven Ancestor couldn't catch, had actually grown to the point where he could kill the Golden Horn Ancestor with a single punch!
Fear spread like a plague.

The human allied forces' positions beneath the city, after a similarly brief period of deathly silence, experienced a completely different kind of deathly silence.

Everyone, whether ordinary array cultivators, technicians responsible for operating war artifacts, or veterans who had long been accustomed to life and death, forgot to breathe and forgot to blink.

Their eyes were fixed on the still-hovering figure high in the sky, on the gradually dissipating spatial ripples and the few remaining wisps of black mist, as if they wanted to etch this incomprehensible scene into the depths of their souls.

Lu Chong slowly, deeply inhaled, and the surging waves in his chest finally broke through the blockage in his throat, transforming into a roar that suppressed boundless excitement and ecstasy:
"The Supreme Daoist Master is mighty!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it exploded like thunder over the stunned crowd. Boom!

The human forces, which had been suppressed to the extreme, were completely detonated by Lu Chong's roar!

"The Golden Horned Antelope is dead!"

The first messenger to react screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice trembling with both sobs and an overwhelming surge of ecstasy.

"It really is him, the Tai Xuan Dao Venerable of the Zhenwu Sect. I've heard him preach before. I never imagined that in just one year, he would have already achieved the position of Dao Venerable!"

A young cultivator from the Puppet Sect was so excited that his face turned red as he showed off to his companions.

As is widely known, Jiang Shu had visited the Puppet Sect before he rose to power.

He befriended the true disciples of the Puppet Sect.

During the great war, their Puppet Sect was also the closest to the True Martial Sect.

Jiang Shu's ascension to Dao Venerable status is of immense significance to the Puppet Sect.

This means that the Zhenwu Sect may indeed take another step forward.

"The Supreme Daoist Master Tai Xuan has returned!"

"Terrifying! This cultivation speed is unprecedented! How many years has it been? Never before has a cultivator been able to cultivate to the Chaos Realm so easily!"

"What's even more terrifying is that, not only has he cultivated to the Chaotic Void Realm, but judging from the battle scenes, the combat power of Dao Venerable Tai Xuan is clearly already ahead of all the Demon Venerables. Perhaps, among the Dao Venerables in the Vast Expanse, Dao Venerable Tai Xuan is not weak at all!"

"That's incredible! He actually managed to kill a mid-stage Demon Lord with a single punch! It's like a dream!"

"No, I wouldn't even dare to do that in my wildest dreams. The previous three Dao Venerables only managed to achieve a stalemate on the battlefield. I never expected that Dao Venerable Tai Xuan would appear and kill three demon venerables all by himself!"

At another position, a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect was excitedly waving his battle flag, almost breaking it in two.

"The Supreme Daoist Master is mighty!"

"The human race is mighty!"

The deafening cheers, shouts, and the clanging of weapons striking shields, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly engulfed the entire battlefield.

Every human warrior's face was filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe.

They recognized Jiang Shu's identity: the peerless genius who dominated an era and single-handedly nearly brought down the entire demon race—he had returned!

And in such a shocking way.

This is not just a victory, but also the greatest boost to the morale of the human race.

After days of pent-up frustration, the slight slump caused by the unusual battle situation and Lu Chong's predicament was swept away, and everyone felt their blood boiling and their strength being revived!
The curtain of the Allied Forces Command Tent was pulled back, and a long-bearded elder looked at Jiang Shu standing in the air, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

"Seeing is believing. Jiang Taixuan truly deserves the title of the number one among the younger generation."

"No, right now, Daoist Tai Xuan is already far ahead of the younger generation."

This long-bearded elder did not initially come from one of the eight major sects, but was a rogue cultivator. He rose through the ranks step by step in the great war by relying on his outstanding military achievements, and eventually joined the True Martial Sect as an elder.

I had only heard of Jiang Shu's name before, but this is the first time I've met him.

"It's hard to imagine where the final destination of the Supreme Daoist Master Tai Xuan is."

The beautiful elder of the Creation Sect also came out and looked at Jiang Shu with admiration.

The burly man coughed lightly twice and said, "I just don't know if the Supreme Daoist Master Tai Xuan can take that step."

That step...

The beautiful woman was startled upon hearing those three words, then shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

They were all at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, so naturally they knew more about the secrets of realms than ordinary disciples.

In the vast and boundless realm today, the Returning to Emptiness Realm is a realm above the Chaos Realm.

But at this level, one will become one with the universe.

The Demon Lord of the Demon Clan.

The Dao Master of the Returning to Emptiness Realm among the Eight Great Sects.

They were almost all in seclusion, trying to find a new path.

For them, the changes within the greater domain are of no importance.

The important thing is how to transcend!

As long as they transcend, what does it matter if heaven and earth are destroyed? They will remain immortal!

Whether that step will ever actually happen is unknown.

"To become an immortal..."

The long-bearded elder nodded upon hearing this, then looked at the great city not far away, ultimately falling silent.

For them, advancing to the Chaotic Void Realm Dao Venerable is an extremely difficult task.

Not to mention, realms even higher than the Chaotic Realm or the Returning Void Realm.

They also knew that the reason why this battle had remained so intense until now was ultimately because neither the strongest fighters of the human or demon races had made a move.

Clearly, becoming an immortal is more important than unifying a vast domain.

This shows the captivating allure of immortals!

Heaven and earth may perish, but I will never perish.

The sun and moon perish, but I will not.

This is true power.

In the void.

Jiang Shu ignored the thunderous cheers below and the distraught chaos on the city walls.

He slowly withdrew his fist, hovering in the air, as if he had done something insignificant.

Upon closer inspection, however, his cyan Daoist robe had been grazed by the annihilating force at the edge of the clash of destructive powers, making it appear even dimmer and revealing several fine, spiderweb-like tears.

That was the last remaining force of the Golden Horned Demon Antelope's desperate attack, proving that the power of this mid-stage demon lord was by no means undeserved.

What's even more unknown is that the world Jiang Shu created within his body is on the verge of destruction.

Yet, amidst this destruction, the World Tree remained lush and green, emanating boundless life force.

It felt like entering the apocalyptic world within my body.

It recovers at an extremely slow rate.

This battle may seem effortless, but in reality, if he were to fight another demon lord at this moment, he would be at a disadvantage.

but……

At this moment, in this place, there is no longer a Demon Lord! (End of Chapter)
