“There were those who would rather die than submit, allowing me to devour them. They appeared tough on the surface, but their hearts were filled with fear.”

"This kind is the worst to eat. The fear seeps into the flesh, just like that dragon from before. It's incredibly disgusting."

"But the two of you are still able to hold on."

Looking at the mocking gaze of the Bashe Demon Lord's afterimage.

Jiang Shu's expression remained unchanged. At this moment, he naturally wouldn't reveal that his greatest reliance was his ability to travel between the two worlds.
"Didn't they say that as long as we can inherit the true teachings, we can recover instantly? What's there to be afraid of?"

“That’s right. It can make you able to endure it, but it’s not something you can just grit your teeth and tough it out. If you can’t withstand the injuries and die, then you will all die too.”

The afterimage of the Bashe Demon Lord chuckled softly as it looked at the man and the dragon as if it were some kind of exquisite delicacy.

"Oh, if only I could meet you before I die, then I would have really eaten you."

"Stop talking nonsense and get on with it."

The bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon in Jinjiao's body was boiling, but his voice remained extremely cold.

Just as the Bashe was about to continue devouring the ancestral dragon bloodline from Jinjiao's body, it suddenly paused and looked at Jiang Shu.

"Damn it, could it be that it saw through something..."

Jiang Shu was immediately startled.

His biggest worry was that the serpent in front of him would see through Golden Horn's true identity.

Not only would it be possible for the serpent demon lord's afterimage to take action directly once it sees through him, given his unpredictable nature, he might even do so.

Furthermore, once Jinjiao's identity is exposed, all his subsequent schemes will fail.

The demon race would never invest resources in his external avatar.

Suddenly, the serpent let out a 'heh' sound and then spoke:
"The bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon is still more delicious. Kid, you are inherently weaker than him, be careful not to be overtaken."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu made up his mind and his expression remained unchanged.

Just as he was about to say something, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the void above.

"This is so interesting, so interesting! Those arrogant old mudskippers who always think they're the only ones who matter have actually been completely fooled by you, kid!"

The voice resonated directly in Jiang Shu's heart, transmitted through the Daoist principles.

As expected, it was discovered—no, it was discovered through taste…

Jiang Shu felt a surge of emotions, but he suppressed his shock.

"senior?"

"Don't play dumb, kid. I'm not so dense as to not see through you. You've disguised yourself quite well, so you don't need to worry about me letting it slip."

Bashe continued to transmit its voice in secret:

"Back when I attained enlightenment, I devoured many dragons. Although I later reconciled with them, it was nothing more than mutual exploitation."

The snake ate while constantly laughing and chatting.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in Jiang Shu's heart.

"Don't worry, if you can pull through, I won't reveal this. If you can't, I won't mind having a laugh after dinner."

"Then you'll just have to wait and see, senior."

Jiang Shu gritted his teeth and continued to endure.

At this moment, both the human and demon races were deeply distressed.

In the training ground, both Jiang Shu and Jin Jiao were now nothing but skeletons.

However, a strange aura of the Great Dao permeated the surroundings.

They forcibly kept the lives of the man and the dragon hanging.

"Damn it, how can Jiang Taixuan still hold on?"

Looking at Jiang Shu in the arena, Ao Qing gritted his teeth, wishing he could directly intervene in the matter.

However, Ao Qing could not do it.

Regardless of whether he has the power to shake the secret realm set up by a demon lord with his last bit of power, just the fact that he said he risked his life and used his trump card could very likely affect Golden Horn.

If this happens, it will inevitably dash the dragons' hopes.

"You must hold on, don't let me down!"

Ao Qing thought to himself.

On the human side, Taiwu Daozun stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if piercing through the ages.

He remained calm and composed, naturally understanding that there was no order in passing the test; it was simply a matter of whether Jiang Shu could withstand it.

"This kid is as resolute as a rock and will never give up easily."

However, Taiwu Daozun remained calm, while the Tiankui Sect Master beside him was extremely anxious.

"You must hold on..."

In the current situation, although the human race has invaded the demon realm, they are lacking momentum due to the suppression of heaven and earth.

Due to various schemes, the demon race did not fully concentrate all its forces.

At this moment, the two sides maintain a fragile dynamic balance.

The experience gained from past major battles could easily be maintained for hundreds of years.

Once a new demon lord is born on either side, the overwhelming combat power and the temporary lack of fear of the Great Dao's erosion will immediately determine the course of the battlefield.

Now, with the Demon Lord's legacy, anything is possible.

At this moment, the Dao Venerable and the Demon Venerable present watched intently as this scene was about to change the course of the battlefield.

Time slowly passed again, and the serpent even slowed down its devouring, as if it wanted to deliberately torment both of them.

However, neither Jin Jiao nor Jiang Shu uttered a single cry of pain.

After a long while, the snake stopped talking.

"Sigh, this is really unexpected..."

Suddenly, a voice filled with emotion arose, echoing in the ears of both the human and demon races.

This immediately attracted the attention of all the powerful individuals present.

"Whether it's the pride of my race or Jiang Shu of the human race, they have all been eaten and left only as bones."

"If it weren't for the laws of this place, both sides would probably be dead already."

……

Ao Qing stared intently at Ba She with his dragon eyes, awaiting his response.

A moment later, Bashe glanced at the many powerful figures present and chuckled:
"Indeed, you two have both exceeded my expectations. I'm afraid you are the chosen ones of destiny for both the human and demon races, destined to be entangled in cause and effect, and to fight to the death."

Upon hearing these words, many powerful figures from both the human and demon sides were taken aback.
The Heavenly Puppet Sect Master's expression froze. He looked at the Supreme Daoist Master Taiwu beside him and spoke in surprise:
"Brother Taiwu, your tone doesn't sound like you're trying to decide who will win or lose?"

Taiwu Daozun nodded slightly at this moment.

Ao Qing was speechless, as if he had vaguely guessed something.

The next moment, the Bashe spoke:
"You two, one human and one dragon, have both held on until the very end of the inheritance. According to the rules I set before my death, you are both qualified to inherit the legacy. However, there is only one copy of the original essence left behind by my original self..."

A single origin!?

Are we going to fight each other for control?

The two leaders were on edge, ready to fight at any moment.

But at that moment, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out.

"What, do you still want to fight here? Do you not take me seriously?!" In an instant, a wisp of the Demon Lord's remaining majesty spread out, pressing down on both sides like a giant mountain.

"Although I only have some lingering remnants left, at most I can unleash a casual strike from the Demon Lord, and by mobilizing the omnipresent Great Dao of Power, I can still kill you all."

Bashe sneered and finally withdrew his imposing manner.

In an instant, the many powerful figures present blushed and gasped for breath with difficulty.

Although they have defensive measures, when they actually face a demon lord, even if it is just a lingering remnant, they feel that they may perish at any moment.

"In that case, I will give each of you half of the original essence left behind by the original body."

The Bashe leisurely opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful.

In an instant, a burst of golden light burst forth, then transformed into a torrent that instantly flowed into the two skeletons.

when!
In the void, the aura of the Great Dao of Time circulated wildly, and a faint sound of a bell could be heard.

The next moment, the two skeletons rapidly reversed time, and began to grow flesh from the bones.

The Venerables, who had just endured the Demon Lord's oppressive aura, immediately narrowed their eyes, realizing that this was an incredible opportunity!

The Demon Lord personally demonstrates how to reverse the flow of time and trace back to the source!
They stared intently, trying to memorize the scene.

Even top experts like Taiwu Daozun and Ao Qing are no exception.

After all, besides their own Dao realm, the only thing separating them from the Demon Lord and Dao Lord is the progress of the Dao of Time.

However, how can their gains compare to experiencing Jiang Shu firsthand?
At this moment, the same will within both bodies sensed the reversal of time.

In the dim light, Jiang Shu seemed to see a vast river of time flowing forward.

At this moment, it felt as if his will was being squeezed by a giant hand, and he was being carried upstream.

No matter how time washes away the past, a force that envelops me remains steadfast.

"This is the Time Dao realm of the Lord of the Great Dao!?"

Jiang Shu was utterly amazed!

Compared to the methods before him, the Time Injury left on him by the Burning Heaven Ancestor was like showing off one's skills before an expert, utterly insignificant!
This is truly transcending time, rising against the tide!

This period of time, though seemingly long, was also short. By the time Jiang Shu came to her senses, she had already fully recovered.

“You two lads have each obtained half of the original essence inherited from the original body. After that, you will be able to continuously strengthen your physique and deepen your realm in the Great Dao of Power by devouring the flesh and blood of others.”

"Besides that, there is still a little bit of power left in my consciousness."

The body of the Naba snake was now only the size of an ordinary python, and it appeared much weaker than before.

Clearly, this is the price of transferring one's own essence from the lower origin.

However, at this moment, the venerable ones on both sides still dared not make any rash moves.

The serpent's gaze lingered on Jiang Shu and Jin Jiao, as if selecting something, before letting out a strange laugh.

"Since that's the case, then I'll follow you up, kid. I want to see what kind of brilliance the two of you can unleash."

The snake swam slowly and finally climbed onto the Golden Horn's body.

In the blink of an eye, the Bashe figure disappeared, and in its place appeared a lifelike, ferocious and majestic Bashe tattoo on Jinjiao's body.

"This is……"

Jinjiao froze, blankly touching the tattoos on his body, when suddenly a voice rang in his ears.

"I still have some disabilities left, so I can give you some pointers. Would you be willing?"

The next moment, Jinjiao immediately understood the situation.

This snake entrusted its last remaining hope to him!

In that instant, Jiang Shu and Jin Jiao immediately stepped back from each other, staring at each other as if they were mortal enemies.

Taiwu Daozun, Ao Qing, and other powerful figures arrived beside the two in the blink of an eye, acting as their protectors.

"How's it going?"

Ao Qing stood in front of Jin Jiao, his eyes lowered, and spoke.

Jin Jiao raised his hand to cover his chest, his gaze fixed on Jiang Shu, revealing a deep murderous intent and greed in his eyes.

"I only obtained half of the origin, which allows me to devour the bodies of other powerful beings to strengthen my physique and advance my path of power. But if I can consume him, I will be able to obtain the complete talent of the original Bashe Demon Lord!"

As he spoke, the golden horn's sharp teeth scraped together slightly, producing a chilling, piercing sound.

"damn it!"

Ao Qing's anger surged and intensified instantly!

"It's Jiang Shu again. If he weren't here, Jin Jiao could have easily inherited the entire Demon Lord's legacy on his own. Could it be that their destinies are truly intertwined and destined to never meet again..."

Just as the old dragon's killing intent was boiling, Golden Horn's voice rang in his ears again.

"However, Ancestor, I have another great discovery!"

"What's the catch?"

"Senior Bashe, at this moment, that wisp of remnant spirit is attached to me, saying that it wants to guide me on the path of cultivation."

"This……"

Ao Qing, who was originally bursting with murderous intent, suddenly trembled, and his eyes revealed an indescribable joy!
The remnant soul of the Bashe Demon Lord has now attached itself to the body of the Golden Horn.

Doesn't this mean that, besides him, Jinjiao can have one more teacher?

And unlike him.

At most, Ao Qing could only teach him the Great Dao of Space, the Great Dao of Time, and some techniques for operating the Great Dao.

Ao Qing primarily cultivates the Dao of Thunder, although he also cultivates the Dao of Strength as a secondary cultivation method to enhance his physique, but his understanding of it is not profound.

Even his depth on this road is not as great as Jinjiao's.

Although the Dragon Clan has its own scriptures, it still falls short of the True Martial Sect, which has a history spanning countless years and boasts numerous powerful cultivators.

However, the lingering spirit of the Bashe Demon Lord has now possessed the body of Jinjiao.

Although the Bashe is dead, it is still the Demon Lord above the realm.

If a cultivator can receive guidance from the strongest being at the pinnacle of their chosen path at all times...

That would surely allow them to easily overcome numerous difficulties and obstacles, and make rapid progress!

"Very well, I knew it. The old man, the Demon Lord Bashe, is ultimately closer to the demon race."

Ao Qing nodded with satisfaction, and immediately protected Jin Jiao even more tightly.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shu retreated to Taiwu Daozun's side and recounted what had just happened.

"You little rascal, you really do want both."

The Supreme Daoist Taiwu transmitted a voice, teasing and joking.

"Senior is so complimentary."

Jiang Shu's lips curled up.

Although the Bashe Demon Lord gave his essence to him and his clone respectively, in the end, it was simply a matter of taking one portion in one hand and one portion in the other.

Given the right opportunity, Jiang Shu will be able to get the other copy back.

Moreover, he doesn't even need to take it back.

After all, as long as Golden Horn is around, the entire dragon race's resources will flow to him in an endless stream! (End of Chapter)
