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

call!
Jiang Shu let out a long breath.

This breath, like a mischievous dark gray dragon, pierced through the chaotic energy clouds ahead, creating a brief passage before slowly opening its golden, vertical dragon eyes.

Its divine light was restrained, as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

Become!

This opportunity was too great; not only did his actual cultivation level break through to the mid-stage of the Chaotic Realm, but his inner world also grew continuously.

Even his own understanding of the Dao has deepened considerably, which shows that the Myriad Spirits Forging Venerable Array is indeed somewhat miraculous.

Even at his level, he could still go further.

If he hadn't intercepted the demon race's opportunity this time, allowing the demon race's prodigies to obtain these great opportunities, perhaps a prodigy demon lord could have truly been created.

However, the greatest gain was his Five Elements Chaotic Thunder Tribulation Dragon Transformation Technique.

The previous Dragon Transformation Technique was just a disguise, just like how a demon can transform into human form after reaching the Transformation Realm, but in reality, they are still a demon.

Jiang Shu was able to deceive others because of his mastery of the Dao of the Soul.

However, if he encounters a supreme being who surpasses him in the path of the soul or in the realm of cultivation, he will be truly discovered once the other party takes notice.

Now, his Dragon Transformation Technique allows him to truly transform into a real dragon, whether in terms of skin, flesh, blood, or bloodline purity.

Through the soul and essence of the Golden Horn, he could even use countless dragon supernatural powers.

In other words, once Jiang Shu uses the Dragon Transformation Technique, he will become a pure-blooded true dragon. Even if the Demon Lord came, he might not be able to tell the difference between the real and fake dragons in a short time!
Jiang Shu thought to himself, his eyes gleaming with golden light.

Upon seeing Jiang Shu open his eyes, Huang Ya, who had been intently guarding him, suddenly stood up. His withered old face was expressionless, but his deep eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at Jiang Shu, who had just opened his eyes, as if admiring a priceless treasure.

His divine sense swept over Jiang Shu's body like a tide, clearly capturing the powerful dragon might of the late-stage Demon Lord, sensing the unfathomable power of his bloodline, and the ancient aura that seemed to have just completed its metamorphosis.

"well!"

Huangya's voice was deep and hoarse, containing a volcanic eruption of fervor and excitement; every word was like a stone falling on an iron plate, resounding loudly.

"Golden Horn, late-stage Demon Lord, just one step away from transcending the mortal realm and entering the realm of the Venerable!"

"This Star Abyss Body Tempering is the beginning of your soaring success!"

He strode forward, his eyes fixed on nothing else but the sole hope before him.

As for the other "defective products" that had already withdrawn, they had long been forgotten by Huangya.

Their greatest value lies in the fact that Jiang Shu can utilize the life force of the countless demons and monsters gathered within this formation.

Using a portion of the lifeblood of a group of top geniuses to exchange for a peerless demon lord who could truly rival Jiang Taixuan was a deal that Huang Ya felt was extremely worthwhile.

The reason why Golden Horn was able to persevere to the end was because he was strong enough to deserve this perfect gift that embodies all the best qualities!

Huang Ya didn't inquire about Jiang Shu's specific feelings and details during this body tempering. In his view, the result spoke for itself.

He walked up to Jiang Shu, his eyes filled with admiration and an unprecedented sense of solemnity.

"Come with me, this is just the beginning."

"Although your current realm is stable, your potential has been fully unleashed. The Imperial Palace has made arrangements to help you break through to the next realm and become a supreme being!"

"You don't need to worry about your rapid cultivation level causing instability in your foundation. With your bloodline, this is not a problem."

He gestured for Jiang Shu to follow him away from the core Starfall Platform, preparing to go to the deeper, more secret preparation area of ​​the Demon Clan Imperial Palace.

In his heart, the next steps—ascending the Heavenly Ladder, receiving the inheritance, and obtaining the supreme treasure—were the real highlight that this demon clan hoped for!
Jiang Shu stood up, stretched his limbs slightly, and his bones emitted a series of low, continuous metallic clanging sounds.

He felt the surging mid-stage Chaos Realm mana within his body after his genuine breakthrough, as well as the perfectly disguised late-stage Demon Lord dragon body.

Looking into Huangya's eyes, which were filled with fervent anticipation, he felt a cold smile in his heart, but his face remained solemn and composed, like a young and powerful dragon warrior. He nodded slightly to Huangya, his voice deep and resonant, carrying the metallic sound unique to dragons.

"I will follow your instructions."

His sharp gaze swept across the still chaotic core area below, as if piercing through the array patterns beneath the stone platform that held immense mysteries, before he calmly followed behind Huangya.

Beneath the abyss, the darkness grows even deeper.

The real storm may have only just begun to brew.

"very good."

His voice was hoarse, carrying an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"This gift of the Meteorite Platform is an incredible opportunity for others, but for you it is just the beginning."

"Come with me, for the real opportunity has only just begun."

His gaunt figure rose silently, like a ghost wrapped in gray linen, and fell toward the entrance of a deeper, darker cave below the Starfall Platform.

The entrance was hidden behind a massive star-shaped rock wall, and could not be detected unless you got close. The pitch-black opening resembled the mouth of a giant beast, swallowing up the already thin light.

Jiang Shu nodded slightly and followed without making a sound. His dark gold scale robe remained motionless in the deathly still air currents of the abyss.

At this moment, his dragon might, at the late stage of the Demon Lord realm, naturally flowed out, vast and ancient, carving out a small, relatively stable area in the chaotic gravitational field of the stellar remains.

Ao Hai and the others had already been taken away from the core area, and their whereabouts were unknown.

On the empty meteorite platform, only the lingering turbulent energy remained, wailing and howling.

Upon entering the cave passage, the temperature plummeted, giving a feeling not of coldness, but of a chilling, deathly stillness that seeped into one's bones.

The rocks beneath their feet were no longer rough fragments of star debris, but some kind of polished, massive black slab, etched with ancient and intricate patterns. These patterns were not static, but rather, like blood vessels, they carried extremely faint energy that flowed slowly through them.

The passageway winds downwards, its bottom invisible.

The surrounding rock walls are inlaid with huge, radiant treasures.

Each treasure exudes the aura of the Dao.

"Young Master Jinjiao".

The sound of the desolate cliff echoed in the secluded passageway, hollow and carrying a strange resonance.

"That baptism just now drew upon the power of the earth's veins, melted the remnants of the ancient star, and gathered some of the spiritual energy stored in the array, which is why you have undergone this transformation."

"Do you know how much firewood you just threw in with that one shovel?"

Huang Ya's words were not meant to make Jiang Shu remember his kindness, but rather to let him know about the cultivation he received from the demon race as a whole.

Jiang Shu lowered his eyelids slightly, his golden vertical pupils remaining expressionless, and did not respond.

The dragon's arrogance made him disdainful of the specific number of firewood, even though he knew perfectly well what this so-called spirituality meant.

Huangya continued speaking to himself, his voice low and indifferent, as if stating an ironclad rule.

"The Imperial Palace coordinates all races in the Demon Realm and operates the Myriad Spirits Forging Venerable Array. Fallen Star Abyss is one of the key nodes of the array in the Northwest."

“Each activation, even if it is just a node baptism, requires tens of thousands of units of vital energy and spiritual energy.”

“You should know that these were all forged by weak demon races in the Transformation Realm, human prisoners captured on the battlefield, and even some demon lords whose lifespans are about to end.” He paused, then turned his bark-like face to glance at Jiang Shu.

"You don't need to worry about it. This is what the Great Way requires. Just like a tiger devouring a sheep, it is the law of heaven and earth that the weak are destined to pave the way for the strong."

"What you are absorbing is the pure essence gathered from the essence of all living beings, far beyond what ordinary cultivation can achieve."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, like an undercurrent surging beneath a frozen lake in winter.

People outside say that Jiang Taixuan, a human, is a demon killer with his hands stained with demon blood.

However, the number of people he killed was only a drop in the ocean compared to the price the Imperial Palace paid to support the rise of geniuses like Golden Horn and to achieve its ultimate goal.

Among the demon race, the most ruthless character has never been Jiang Taixuan.

Rather, they are the Demon Lords and Demon Venerables among the demon race.

Which demon lord or demon master hasn't wiped out tens of thousands of races?

Jiang Shu's face remained calm and composed, only letting out a barely audible snort from his nostrils, carrying the arrogant tone unique to the dragon race.

This reaction perfectly maintained the arrogant and power-obsessed identity of the Golden Horned Young Master.

"Coming."

Huangya seemed quite pleased with Jiang Shu's indifference and continued to lead the way.

"The one I'm taking you to see ahead is a creator who is about to reach the pinnacle and enjoy the final glory of the great formation, a half-step demon lord forged by our clan."

"He will personally guide you across that insurmountable barrier and help you ascend to the position of Demon Lord!"

Half-step Demon Lord!

Jiang Shu's heart tightened suddenly, and her mind sank.

The Demon Lord realm is an existence far surpassing ordinary Demon Venerables; it is the ultimate powerhouse who has mastered the Great Dao of Time.

Even if a half-step demon lord hasn't comprehended the Great Dao of Time, he still has a basic understanding of it.

Most importantly, they have almost reached the top of the Space Avenue.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Clan Imperial Palace actually succeeded in forcibly creating a half-step Demon Lord, and right here in the depths of the Falling Star Abyss.

There was no reason for Huangya to lie to him.

But Jiang Shu quickly regained his composure.

Based on his understanding of the Myriad Spirits Casting Venerable Array, the fact that a half-step Demon Lord was forcibly cast meant that the demon race had already upgraded the array through various means.

We have entered the next stage.

Of course, a half-step demon lord created by a grand formation is definitely no match for a true demon lord.

He might even be inferior to the supreme leaders of the eight major sects.

However, we'll have to see for ourselves to know the specifics.

At the end of the passageway, the view suddenly opens up.

Contrary to expectations of a grander underground palace, it was instead an exceptionally clean and even somewhat simple and cold enormous cave.

In the center of the cave, there is a flat stone platform about a hundred feet in diameter, and several huge prayer cushions are neatly arranged along the edge of the platform.

At the very center of the stone platform, a figure sat cross-legged.

The person's presence instantly captured Jiang Shu's entire attention.

He wore a pure white robe that seemed out of place in this abyss environment; the fabric was like some kind of extremely expensive snow silk, which shimmered with a faint, warm luster under the dim bone lamp.

The robe has a simple and ancient style, with wide sleeves and a somewhat ethereal feel.

Unlike the unrestrained and wild Burning Heaven Ancestor whom Jiang Shu had met before, his long, crimson hair was neatly tied into a topknot at the back of his head with a simple dark jade hairpin, revealing his smooth and full forehead.

His face seemed peaceful, with his eyebrows and eyes lowered, revealing only his high nose bridge and slightly resolute jawline.

Its overall aura actually possessed a touch of ethereal and otherworldly elegance, which seemed completely out of place in the heart of the Fallen Star Abyss, which was filled with malevolent energy.

However, when Huangya landed on the edge of the stone platform with Jiang Shu, still dozens of steps away from the figure, a sudden change occurred!
"Humph!"

A cold snort, like muffled thunder rolling in the abdomen and accompanied by violent noises like molten lava churning, suddenly came from the seemingly calm white-robed figure.

He suddenly raised his head!

In an instant, all his air of otherworldly grace vanished!

His crimson pupils were instantly filled with a violent, molten gold light—not the light of reason, but pure, insane flames.

Those eyes were fixed on Jiang Shu, filled with violence, greed, and a destructive desire to burn everything in front of them to ashes.

That once peaceful face was now twisted beyond recognition, the muscles on his face twitching wildly, and a dark red aura, as if flowing magma, was violently undulating beneath his skin.

Even more terrifying, an indescribable pressure, like a tangible ancient mountain, carrying a heat strong enough to incinerate the soul, crashed down on Jiang Shu.

boom!
The air emitted a deafening roar as the temperature in the cave soared, and the surrounding rock walls quickly turned charred and cracked.

Jiang Shu felt as if a live volcano was pressing down on him. The dragon's incredibly strong bones made a teeth-grinding cracking sound, and the dragon blood in his body surged wildly, almost bursting out of his body!

At this moment, he also recognized the man's true identity based on his aura.

Ancestor Burning Heaven?!
Even though Jiang Shudao's heart was as firm as a rock, he was almost momentarily distracted at this moment.

Although his appearance and temperament had changed drastically, especially that violent, scorching core aura filled with relentless hatred, Jiang Shu was all too familiar with it.

In that desolate sea of ​​sand, he had personally torn apart this power and was almost completely devoured by it!

It turned out to be him!

Unexpectedly, after only a month, the Burning Heaven Ancestor, who was at the late stage of the Demon Lord realm, was forcibly transformed into a half-step Demon Lord.

That core aura, which seemed capable of burning the heavens and earth and destroying everything, is now even more terrifying!
The imperial palace of the demon race.

What exactly are they planning?

How could even an existence like the Burning Heaven Ancestor be willing to sacrifice himself and forcibly elevate him to the level of a half-step Demon Lord?

His identity must not be exposed; this Burning Heaven Ancestor is now at the half-step Demon Lord realm.

If he discovers my identity.

Unless one can travel between the two worlds.

Otherwise, you will definitely die!
Jiang Shu felt alarm bells ringing wildly in his heart. He forcibly stabilized the flow of energy in his body, and only trembled slightly.

This trembling seemed perfectly reasonable for a demon race at the peak of the Demon Lord realm to face the pressure of a half-step Demon Lord.

In his golden, vertical pupils, shock, awe, a perfectly measured bewilderment, and a subjugation crushed by overwhelming power quickly surfaced. (End of Chapter)
