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

These are three more early-stage Demon Lord experts!
A figure resembling a giant sand scorpion, with a black, hooked tail that gleamed with a deadly venomous light, pierced towards Jiang Shu's back with a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through space.

A figure, resembling a twisted storm aggregate, without a fixed form, swirled up countless rotating sand blades and spatial fragments, transforming into a tornado that could cut through everything, aiming to grind Jiang Shu into dust.

The last one was a dragon lizard clad in bone armor, wielding a giant axe that burned with a ghastly green demonic fire. The eerie flames burned in the void, and within each flame, the essence of the Great Dao of Power seemed to pierce the heavens.

This axe strike, carrying the savage power to split mountains and cleave peaks, came crashing down.

The three attacked with perfect coordination, resembling a precise battle formation.

All of Jiang Shu's evasive angles were blocked.

Each demon lord seemed to disregard life and death, with even the very essence of the demon race burning.

Jiang Shu was instantly caught in a desperate situation, attacked from both sides.

"It's scorpions and dragon lizards again. They're both at the Demon Lord level. Neither of these two demons has particularly strong bloodline power. Where would they get so many resources to advance to such a level?"

"The demon race's foundation is indeed not to be underestimated. However, these demon lords... are indeed a bit strange."

"Their understanding of the Great Dao of Space seems to be exactly the same..."

Jiang Shu silently recited the words in his heart, his expression solemn.

Those eyes, calm as an ancient well, suddenly flashed with an extremely sharp light. There was no panic whatsoever; instead, all their divine sense and energy were mobilized to the limit.

"Bind!"

He uttered a simple syllable, yet it was like the king of the Great Dao, mobilizing all the Daoist principles that could operate.

hum!
The World Tree sapling swayed violently in the deepest part of his chaotic space, its emerald green glow carrying the charm of primordial chaos, instantly permeating his limbs and bones.

The Shattered Universe Glove on his right hand shone brightly, and countless complex spatial runes seemed to come alive, flowing wildly, and time seemed to slow down at this moment.

The primordial Daoist essence, colorless and formless, unfolded silently behind him like an invisible chasm.

The spinning sand blade tornado, powerful enough to shred fine gold, crashed into the misty "nothingness." Its spinning speed decreased drastically, and the countless sand blades seemed to encounter a reversal of time the moment they touched the primordial energy. Their shapes became blurred and uncertain, while the spatial cutting paths they contained were rapidly restored, greatly reducing their power.

Although not completely annihilated, it can no longer form an effective means of attack.

Almost at the same time that the Primordial Daoist Rhyme was unleashed to block the storm monster, Jiang Shu raised his left hand and clenched his five fingers inward.

His target was neither the venomous scorpion tail stabbing from behind nor the giant axe of demonic fire falling from above, but rather the area around him that was being slowed down by the spatial folds of Xuanming.

"swallow!"

A desolate will surged from his palm like a cold tide, instantly pouring into the earth beneath his feet and spreading wildly along some invisible lines.

The desolate road is not destruction; its essence leads all things to annihilation and decay.

The spatial folds that Xuanming had meticulously controlled were instantly disrupted by the erosion of the desolate power, just like scalding sand being poured into a high-speed precision gear.

scoff!

The stagnant spatial force emitted a teeth-grinding twisting sound. Although it did not collapse immediately, the enormous viscous force it generated suddenly loosened.

For Jiang Shu, that moment of leniency was a race against time, a matter of life and death.

Like a fish breaking free from a sticky spider web, his body transformed into an afterimage that was barely perceptible to the naked eye in mid-air.

The venomous scorpion tail grazed past his left rib, and the giant axe burning with a ghastly green flame whistled through the air, almost grazing his scalp as it fell.

Just as the giant axe cleaved through the air, Jiang Shu's figure appeared like a ghost beside the lizardman demon lord wielding the giant axe. His movements were so fast that even space itself rippled.

"break!"

His right fist had been clenched at some point, and a layer of condensed, almost tangible, gray aura enveloped the knuckles.

That was the ultimate force of the Great Dao, which caused the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) to collapse, forming a chaotic vortex!
A punch, as fast as lightning and as heavy as ten thousand jin, carrying the purest and most destructive physical force, slammed solidly into the lizardman demon lord's ribs.

The lizardman's hard bone armor shattered like paper, and a clear sound of bones cracking rang out.

Before the Dragon Lizard Demon Lord could even understand why his prized axe had missed its mark, he felt a violent force, containing the power of the primordial chaos that could crush all things, instantly invade his body.

His internal organs were instantly shattered into a bloody pulp. The violent force, still strong, sent his massive, mountain-like body flying like a broken sack. He crashed into a thick rock pillar and embedded himself deeply in the sand dune, bleeding from all seven orifices. He was clearly beyond saving.

One punch instantly killed a demon lord in the early stage!
The storm monster and the venomous sand scorpion's attacks missed, and the instantaneous death of their companions shocked them deeply.

Jiang Shu has already set his sights on the highly venomous sand scorpion as his next target.

His eyes, made even colder by the sight of blood, held an undisguised murderous intent.

However, just as Jiang Shu killed the Dragon Lizard Demon Lord and was about to kill the second early-stage Demon Lord, his momentum was soaring.

A glint of interest finally flashed in the Xuanming silver-white pupils that had been hovering above the rift, controlling the entire situation, as if a chess player had encountered a piece worth taking a second look at.

His right hand, the one that had just suppressed the Blazing Sun Dao Venerable, with its long, slender fingers like divine jade, was raised gracefully and slowly towards Jiang Shu.

Confinement!

A spatial domain, far larger and more stable than the one that had previously hindered Jiang Shu, was instantly formed!
Jiang Shu felt a sudden heaviness throughout his body, as if invisible mercury had filled the surrounding void. Every movement felt a hundred times heavier, and even the surging Daoist energy within his body began to stagnate.

The raging killing intent that had just ignited and the subsequent actions were abruptly halted for a moment by this sudden arrival of absolute spatial power, making even breathing difficult.

With a simple gesture of raising his hand, Xuanming demonstrated to Jiang Shu what true spatial control was.

……

On the battlefield below, Daoist Lieyang spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with golden threads, leaning on a long spear wreathed in flames, barely managing to stand upright.

He was struck down by Xuanming's palm and was seriously injured. His meridians were even eroded by the strange spatial annihilation power, causing his blood and qi to churn and greatly reducing the power of the True Fire of the Sun.

The power of Xuanming's cold strike exceeded his expectations.

Seeing Jiang Shu also suppressed by that invisible "spatial cage," Lie Yang felt a mix of shock and anger, but also a sense of powerlessness. In a one-on-one fight, he was truly no match for this old monster from the Kunpeng clan.

He took a deep breath, and a faint white flame rose around him again, preparing to attack the weak point of the spatial cage with all his might, even if it could only interfere in the slightest, it would still be a help to Jiang Shu.

However, just as he made a move, his gaze swept over the three streaks of light, and in a flash, he made another decision.

Suddenly, the blazing sun changed direction, not rushing towards Xuanming who was suppressing Jiang Shu, but instead, like a burning meteor, it crashed fiercely into the edge of the huge rift.

His target was the three demon lords who were still threatening Jiang Shu's flanks, as well as the core of the array itself, which was personally overseen by Xuan Ming!
"The Supreme Daoist Venerable!"

The roar of the blazing sun echoed across the desert. He transformed into a fiery meteor, the intense heat distorting the surrounding air, and with unstoppable momentum, he charged straight into the depths of the rift. He gambled that Xuanming could not completely ignore his all-out attack on the core of the array.

As long as he rushes in and disrupts the operation of the array's core, even for just a moment, it can create an opportunity for Jiang Shu!
As soon as Jiang Shu saw Lieyang Daozun's actions, he knew what he was thinking. His eyes flashed, and a Soul-Splitting Void Light shot straight towards Xuanming.

Jiang Shu rarely displayed this great technique in front of the world. With his strong comprehension of the Great Dao of the Soul and the advantage of instantaneous release, even Xuan Ming felt a buzzing sound before his eyes and was almost freed from his prison by Jiang Shu.

Meanwhile, Daoist Lieyang seized this opportunity and broke through Xuanming's defenses.

Just as Lieyang Daozun rushed towards the entrance of the rift without regard for anything else, Xuanming, who had been focusing most of his attention on Jiang Shu, finally showed a clear fluctuation in his calm, silvery-white pupils.

The cracked cavern was the core place he guarded; how could he allow others to trespass and destroy it?
Although Jiang Shu was suppressed by his powerful spatial cage and could not break free for the time being, the cage also restrained most of his mind and power.

"Even ants dare to try and shake the heavens?"

The icy voice flowed across the battlefield like a cold spring. Xuanming did not lower his right hand, which was raised to suppress Jiang Shu, but his other left hand suddenly closed his fingers in the direction from which Lieyang Daozun was rushing!

hum!
A sharp, piercing whistle emanated from the space.

The void a hundred meters ahead of the Blazing Sun Dao Venerable's charging trajectory seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and then collapsed inward!
Countless spatial fragments disintegrated and spun, instantly forming a pitch-black vortex with a diameter of over ten zhang that was spinning rapidly.

It was the entrance to a black hole formed by pure spatial annihilation power. A terrifying gravitational force erupted, and the gravel and rocks on the ground were pulled and sucked into the center of that destructive vortex like fallen leaves swept up by a gale.

As if crashing into an invisible wall of sighs, the speed of his charge suddenly decreased, and his body was involuntarily pulled off course by the enormous suction force. The true solar fire around him was frantically pulled, about to be thrown into the black hole, like a candle thrown into a furnace, quickly extinguished.

"break!"

The Blazing Sun Daoist's eyes were bloodshot with rage. The long spear in his hand suddenly exploded, turning into countless lines of fire that wrapped around his body, forming a final line of defense against the tearing of the destructive black hole.

Although he managed to stabilize himself and avoid being completely sucked in, he was completely trapped in place, unable to move an inch, and even maintaining his balance was extremely difficult.

With one hand, Xuanming easily defused the human race's offensive once again and firmly restrained the other Dao Venerable.

The battle reached a terrifying stalemate.

Xuanming maintained the powerful spatial cage that imprisoned Jiang Shu with one hand, and manipulated the spatial vortex to restrain Lieyang Daozun with the other.

It seems that he can hold off two human Dao Venerables with one against two and still have spare strength. His application of spatial laws has reached the pinnacle and is perfectly harmonious.

In terms of mastery of the Great Dao of Space, Xuanming has very likely already surpassed the Burning Heaven Ancestor!

Jiang Shu was trapped in a spatial cage, as if carrying a mountain on his back.

Although it has not suffered any real damage for the time being, its power has been greatly suppressed, making it difficult to move. It is currently using all its strength to push the power of the World Tree and the Shattered World Gloves to break through the confinement.

The Primordial Avenue and the Desolate Avenue form a Tai Chi pattern, constantly eroding the structure of this confined space.

However, Xuanming's spatial principles were so pure and stable that they were difficult to shake in the short term.

Lieyang was tightly bound by the spatial vortex and could only struggle to maintain its own survival, powerless to pose any further threat to Xuanming or the array's core.

Although the Storm Monster and the Poisonous Sand Scorpion had temporarily escaped Jiang Shu's pursuit, they dared not make any rash moves after witnessing their leader easily suppress the two human Dao Venerables. They kept a watchful eye on Jiang Shu and guarded the entrance to the rift.

Time passed slowly in the suffocating stalemate.

Just as Xuanming seemed to have completely taken control of the situation, a hint of indifference from a controller was revealed deep in his silver-white eyes.

boom!
Several overwhelming and unstoppable forces, like a real tsunami, accompanied by earth-shattering thunderous roars, rushed in from the outer edge of the desolate sand sea at an unimaginable speed.

Wherever it passed, the massive army fighting below seemed to be separated by a tremendous force, and the sand and dust in the sky were instantly dispelled.

Reinforcements have arrived!

It was the Daoist Venerable who came to the aid of the Zhenwu Sect and the Danfu Sect.

Hong Yue knew the key to the desolate sand sea formation and the terrifying strength of the guards. After Jiang Shu and his group went deeper into the formation, he had already sent out an urgent request for help!
The leader, dressed in a dark yellow Taoist robe, held an ancient and enormous bronze seal. His movements were like the advance of a mountain range, and his heavy and majestic aura made the world pale in comparison.

On the other side was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, surrounded by hundreds of jade talismans that shimmered with runes of various colors, with thousands of talismans guarding his left and right.

Behind him followed several powerful Dao Lords of the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

Avenues stretched across the sky, painting the entire landscape.

The two Dao Venerables arrived, but did not immediately join the battle below. Their objective was very clear: to target the rift that emitted terrifying spatial fluctuations and tainted spiritual energy.

They instantly locked onto the indigo figure that was suppressing Jiang Shu and Lie Yang single-handedly.

"kill!"

The leader, Xuanwu Daozun, spoke with a booming voice. The Xuanwu Zhenyue Seal in his hand instantly transformed into the size of a mountain, carrying unparalleled and heavy earth vein power, and smashed down on Xuanming.

Wherever the enormous seal passed, the space became incredibly viscous and stable, attempting to forcibly interfere with, and even crush, the spatial cage and vortex controlled by Xuanming.

The Heavenly Talisman Daoist then swiftly waved his hands:
"Five Elements Imprison Spirit, Ten Directions Sealed!"

"disease!"

In an instant, dozens of Dao talismans transformed into streams of light and shot out, instantly lighting up in different directions around Xuanming. The five colors of light—gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow—flowed and intertwined, forming a huge three-dimensional talisman array out of thin air.

The power of the rune array did not directly attack Xuanming's body, but instead frantically condensed, reinforcing the surrounding space itself and forming layers of extremely tough, invisible spatial barriers. (End of Chapter)
