A demon lord was covered in dark red crystal armor with sharp edges, resembling a dragon or a lizard.

His body exuded a demonic aura, like a raging inferno, burning everything in its path.

The other one, though it took human form, was a full ten feet tall.

The scorpion's tail swayed slightly behind it, and wherever its huge venomous hook went, patches of space were locked up, turning into endless cages of venom.

They were clearly already poised to act, the moment Jiang Shu appeared.

The giant claws of the Molten Crystal Dragon Lizard reached directly for Jiang Shu's face, the crimson light condensed at the tips of its claws containing terrifying penetrating power.

The scorpion demon lord's tail, like a black lightning bolt, silently pierced Jiang Shu's back, the eerie blue light on its stinger exuding a deadly chill that could paralyze the soul.

They cooperated perfectly, one launching a strong frontal attack to draw attention away, while the other launched a cunning and ruthless sneak attack.

Two attacks, powerful enough to flatten a hill, instantly engulfed the entrance to the crystal beehive.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out, shaking the entire Blood Fiend Rock. The crystal nest at the top was torn apart by the violent energy, with large pieces shattering and flying everywhere.

The massive shockwave sent several transformed demons flying from below.

But at the heart of the attack, the Molten Crystal Lizard Demon and the Poisonous Scorpion Demon Lord showed no joy, only endless horror.

Because their deadly attacks missed?
No, it didn't miss!
Jiang Shu's figure vanished like a bubble in the fraction of a second before the attack even touched him.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable force of confinement suddenly descended!

"Buzz!"

Centered on the spot where Jiang Shu disappeared, an invisible yet real miniature spatial domain instantly unfolded, covering only a radius of ten feet around the top of the Blood Fiend Rock.

This is a new great technique he created by using the Shattered Universe Glove as a catalyst and combining it with the spatial Daoist energy of the World Tree sapling: the Universe Prison.

Within the domain, the spatial density instantly became incredibly viscous, and the ferocious fiery claw shadows and the sinister scorpion tails charged forward, like insects trapped in ancient resin, their speed suddenly slowed a hundredfold.

Moreover, that terrifying stagnation force also carried the repulsion of space itself, frantically twisting and decomposing the primordial demonic power contained in the attacks of the two demon lords!

Spatial confinement, hindering the offensive!
Almost simultaneously with the expansion of the domain, Jiang Shu's figure appeared like a ghost beside the Poison Scorpion Demon Lord.

His left hand remained in the posture of activating space, the glove shimmering with light, faintly carrying the buzzing sound of space being forcibly compressed, but his right hand had already been extended.

There was no flashy brilliance, nor any earth-shattering prestige.

With a slight bend of his five fingers, he probed towards the vital point of the Scorpion Demon Lord's spine.

The movements appear slow, but are actually so fast that even the mind struggles to react.

fast!
Extremely fast!

Jiang Shu's movement did not rely on pure speed, but rather on the ultimate application of the Great Dao of Power.

That seemingly protruding arm, its muscle fibers burst forth with power beyond limits in an instant, propelling the arm forward in a way that almost breaks the constraints of spatial distance.

This is a masterful application of the source of power, compressing and concentrating immense explosive force into a single point, abandoning all external "prestige," solely for the pursuit of the most direct and lethal destructive efficiency.

puff!

A dull but clear cracking sound rang out.

Before the Poisonous Scorpion Demon Lord could even break free from the sluggish feeling of being confined by space, he felt his protective bone armor, which was as hard as refined gold, being pierced as fragile as paper the moment it came into contact with that seemingly ordinary palm.

A terrifying, highly concentrated, and destructive force surged into its body through its spine in an instant.

This supreme power also contains several supreme laws, and his seemingly strong physical body is as fragile as tofu in Jiang Shu's hands.

His spine shattered inch by inch, and his entire demonic body was trembling violently, on the verge of breaking apart.

The venom and cruelty in the eyes of the Scorpion Demon Lord were instantly replaced by boundless fear and despair. Before he could even let out a scream, his entire demon body went limp like a loach with its spine removed. His vast life force was instantly strangled and annihilated by the surging fragments of will.

Instant kill!

A demon lord in the early stage who had just shown a deadly threat lost all his life force and collapsed to the ground in the short instant that Jiang Shu activated the spatial confinement and extended his palm.

"Roar!!!"

Witnessing its companion die instantly, the Crystal Dragon Lizard was terrified and its suppressed ferocity erupted completely.
Its dark red, molten-red crystalline armor suddenly shone with a dazzling light, boiling and churning like liquid, and its body suddenly expanded.
It abandoned all techniques and ruthlessly transformed itself into a massive lava meteor burning with destructive energy, crashing fiercely into Jiang Shu.
The entire molten core looked like it was about to explode.

The terrifyingly high temperature instantly melted the top of the crystal honeycomb into lava that flowed down, causing even the micro-space domain to tremble violently, with unstable spatial ripples appearing at its edges.

Faced with this desperate attack, Jiang Shu didn't even glance at it, nor did he retract his right hand from the corpse of the Poison Scorpion Demon Lord. He maintained the posture of controlling the spatial domain with his left hand, only slightly moving his mind.

Wow!

The space where the Molten Crystal Lizard Demon crashed shattered like a smooth mirror, folding inwards like ripples on water.

Space folding!

Jiang Shu did not choose to confront the burning lava meteor head-on. Instead, in a flash, he manipulated the edge of the miniature spatial cage to form an invisible "pocket" that twisted inward!
The Molten Crystal Lizard Demon charged in with a world-destroying aura!
The next moment, the folded space suddenly closed.

boom!
Like a muffled thunderclap inside a bag, the violent shockwave was forcibly locked within the closed, distorted space, emitting a dull bang, before being rapidly crushed and swallowed by the endless spatial turbulence.

The massive body of the Molten Crystal Lizard Demon, along with the violent explosive power of its Molten Crystal Core, was compressed and crushed alive, ultimately vanishing into nothingness.

Only a few wisps of distorted air rippled briefly before completely subsiding.

The whole process was incredibly fast. From the moment Jiang Shu appeared at the entrance of the nest and was attacked, to the moment he deployed his spatial domain and instantly killed the Poison Scorpion Demon Lord, to the moment he used the spatial folding technique to "contain" the self-destruction of the Molten Crystal Lizard Demon, it was less than a quarter of an hour!

Among those at the same level, Jiang Shu represents the pinnacle of combat power.

"Something's off with these two guys."

Jiang Shu silently recited in his heart.

Although these two demons are both at the Demon Venerable level, their control over space and their own accumulated knowledge are only barely considered experts even at the Demon Lord level. How could they achieve the position of Demon Venerable?
Or perhaps the demon race has some other methods.

Did this allow some demon lords to forcibly raise their own cultivation levels?

At the top of Bloodfiend Rock, all was deathly silent.

Meanwhile, the human team below seized the time difference created by Jiang Shu's instantaneous elimination of the threat at the top.

The demon soldiers defending the rock pillars, who had lost their command and high-level support, quickly collapsed under the fearless attack of Tieshan, Leiyan, and others, and the barrier of the eastern encirclement was forcibly torn open.

"The breach has been created!"

Lei Yan, his body wreathed in purple lightning, severed the head of the last defiant demon lord and roared into the distance, "All troops, charge!"

"Carve through the sea of ​​sand!"

Hong Yue's powerful and resonant command, which echoed throughout the entire battlefield, exploded like thunder in the sky above the desolate desert!

The main human army, which had been waiting in the distance for a long time, burst forth like a flood that had been building up for thousands of years. Tens of thousands of beams of light of various colors formed a steel torrent, accompanied by earth-shattering battle cries. Using the blood-fiend rock that had been torn apart by the squads as a breakthrough, it poured into the core defense zone of the desolate desert.

A torrent of iron and fire, blood and light instantly washed away the sand and created huge crimson waves.

The bigger storm has only just begun.

However, Jiang Shu did not participate in the all-encompassing torrent of destruction.

His divine sense, like an invisible deep sea, cautiously probed once again towards the location of the core of the array.

His senses were too sharp; he immediately felt an extremely subtle yet primal and vast fluctuation, like a giant beast awakening in the deep sea, firmly entrenched around the core of the array.

This aura was neither as violent as that of the Burning Heaven Ancestor, nor as fierce as the cooperation of the Four Fiends in the Enemy's Formation. Instead, it was a kind of calm and refined spatial power, as if the space itself in that area had been completely controlled and transformed into an independent, empty ocean.

On the edge of this "vast ocean," there are three relatively weak but not negligible presences, like a group of sharks in the deep sea guarding the king.

“There are also experts.”

Jiang Shu's voice was deep and calm, clearly reaching the ears of the Blazing Sun Daoist amidst the surging true energy on the battlefield.

Lieyang was a Dao Venerable expert who accompanied him on this trip. He came from the Dao Yi Sect and was famous for his pure and violent Solar True Fire.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Lieyang's expression turned slightly grim. He swept his divine sense across the area and also detected the oppressive aura that was like the pulse of space itself.

"It's very tricky, at least at the mid-game peak, and even approaching the late game threshold."

"It seems to be the Kunpeng clan, this pure void Daoist charm is unique."

"Things have come to this point, there is no turning back. Kill!"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Shu's eyes as he spoke.
"Kunpeng Demon Lord's strength is far beyond that of the other demon lords. If I go in, I will probably only be able to fight him. I will have to trouble Dao Venerable to ask for help first. Then the two of us will go in. I will deal with Kunpeng, and you can hold off the remaining three demon lords."

The Fiery Sun Dao Venerable's realm is roughly a bit stronger than those three Demon Venerables. Even if he can't kill them, he can at least hold them off.

"That's how it should be!"

Blazing white divine flames rose from the body of the Blazing Sun Daoist, like another small sun rising into the sky.

"I'll tear through the guards, you take the opportunity to destroy the array's core!"

Boom!

Without further hesitation, the two transformed into two streaks of light that tore through the sky, one as dark as a dragon and the other as bright as the sun, instantly traversing more than ten miles and heading straight for the area shrouded by the invisible spatial power.

Their speed was so great that the fierce battles of the demon soldiers along the way were all swept away by the violent shockwaves.

On the ground, a huge fissure surrounded by blood-red runes resembled the open throat of a giant beast, exuding a filthy, deathly aura mixed with the residual energy left after the powerful spirituality had been forcibly extracted.

Deep within the rift lies the core of the Myriad Spirits Forging Array.

Just as Jiang Shu and Lieyang Daozun were about to rush into the rift.

hum!
An indescribable wave spread out from the depths of that rift like an explosion!
Jiang Shu felt the void in front of him suddenly become as thick and sluggish as a deep-sea mud pit, and countless invisible spatial folds, like billions of tough threads, wrapped around him layer by layer, pulling his rapidly advancing figure back tightly.

His spatial teleportation, which he was so proud of, was suppressed in this area in an unprecedented way, as if it were a rule!

Almost simultaneously, the intense sunlight around him suddenly dimmed.

"scold!"

The roar of the Blazing Sun Daoist echoed.

Jiang Shu's gaze shifted rapidly, and he saw a figure suddenly appear in front of Lieyang Daozun, as if he had always been there, but his presence was only revealed when the space "flowed" to this place.

The newcomer was tall and slender, wearing a deep indigo robe as dark as night, with dark, shimmering light flowing across it like the annihilation of stars.

His face appeared young, yet it carried the coldness of a glacier that had stood for millions of years. His eyes were the purest silver-white, as if they held no emotion, only coldness and control.

He raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and gently pressed down in the direction from which the Blazing Sun Dao Venerable was charging wildly.

There were no earth-shattering sounds, only the groans of space itself, strained under its own weight.

The true solar fire surrounding the Blazing Sun Daoist, which could scorch mountains and boil seas, silently caved in before him, as if it had been forcibly pressed into an invisible funnel by an invisible force.

The flames were highly condensed, their color instantly changing from incandescent white to a dangerous dark gold. Their power seemed to be compressed to the extreme, yet they could not be unleashed. Instead, they weakened continuously during the collapse, as if being swallowed up by the void in the palm of that eerie indigo figure!

Jiang Shu frowned slightly.

Devouring the Great Dao?

No, this seems to be a more purely spatial annihilation.

"Xuanming!"

The expression on Lieyang Daozun's face changed drastically. He squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, his voice filled with disbelief, shock, and solemnity.

Clearly, he recognized the powerful figure before him.

The Kunpeng clan expert known as "Xuanming" remained expressionless. His silver eyes merely swept indifferently over Jiang Shu, who was bound by spatial folds, before returning to Lieyang Daozun, who was struggling to resist the spatial collapse.

"The Dao Venerable of Dao Yi Sect is still lacking in experience."

The cold sound was like the soft rustling of air, and his palm was seen being pushed out again in a half-hearted manner.

"what!"

As if struck by lightning, Daoist Lieyang let out a muffled groan. His entire body felt as if it had been hit by an invisible giant hammer. The dark golden flames that had been compressed to the extreme around him could no longer maintain their stability and collapsed with a crash.

The dissipating flames not only failed to mount a counterattack, but were instead pulled back by an invisible force, slamming him into the ground like a cannonball.

Boom!

The earth trembled, and the Blazing Sun Daoist was smashed into the depths of the yellow sand, forming a huge, scorched pit. The pit walls even showed a crystallized glass-like appearance, and smoke and dust rose into the sky.

Although he immediately struggled to his feet from the pit, his crimson robe was torn, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing had clearly dropped significantly, indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.

With just two strikes, the dignified Dao Venerable of the human race was completely suppressed by Xuanming and had no power to fight back!

Just as Xuanming swiftly repelled the Blazing Sun Daoist, three streaks of light, like sea serpents that had been lurking nearby, suddenly shot out from the edge of the massive rift, heading straight for Jiang Shu. (End of Chapter)
