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

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Shu's expression turned cold, and he said, "Fine, fine, since that's the case, then don't blame me."

"Whoever goes first, I'll fight to the death, and I'll drag you all down with me!"

Jiang Shu's voice was resounding and filled with murderous intent.

"Give up your petty tricks. They are all part of me. Even if I asked them to die, they wouldn't refuse."

The mechanical giant immediately spoke, his voice booming and deep, as if he were announcing something.

As expected, the several Venerables present at the later stages of their cultivation all stepped forward, as if to express their stance.

"Hehe... I see."

Jiang Shu's eyes were sinister, but then suddenly changed, a hint of relief appearing on his face. "So that's how it is. In that case, I wasn't wronged at all for being schemed against..."

He slowly shook his head, looked up at his opponents, and said, "Well then, in that case, I shall take my leave of you all."

goodbye?

"Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. In the current situation, where can you possibly escape to?"

The old Taoist-looking man, Tianji Laoren, didn't bother to speak.

Apart from him, the other powerful figures were also on high alert. It seemed that if Jiang Shu showed even the slightest weakness, they would rush forward and kill him.

Then, the next moment, Jiang Shu smiled slightly and waved to the powerful figure in front of him.

Then, he took a step forward.

This step was extremely ordinary, and there wasn't even any fluctuation of laws around it.

But after taking that step, the mechanical giant seemed to suddenly perceive something incomprehensible in its pupils.

"Let's do it!"

The several Venerable Ones he controlled attacked simultaneously in the later stages.

boom!
A fierce roar suddenly rang out as the several late-stage Venerable experts launched their full-force attacks almost simultaneously.

At that very moment, just as their all-out attack was about to strike Jiang Shu, his figure suddenly vanished!
gone!
They clashed, unleashing the power of numerous methods, some even striking their own people.

Upon witnessing this scene, the mechanical giant stood frozen in place, his mind filled with a constant flow of information.

"Sample collection in progress, system in pre-analysis..."

"Spatiotemporal sample has been collected and is being analyzed!"

"Analysis failed! Analysis failed!"

……

The Demon Realm, the Ruins of the Heavenly Court, the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods—the deepest part of it all.

The palace, which was originally hidden in a secret space, is now just a series of ruins, desolate to the extreme, with not a trace of life left!

Even if this place is located in the void, at this moment, time has become chaotic and disordered, it is probably a first-class dead zone.

The reason is simple: once, a demon emperor detonated his physical body here, wanting to drag certain people down with him.

In this desolate place, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Cough cough... Luckily I ran away in time, otherwise I would have been no match for four late-stage Venerables by myself."

"Wait, where am I!?"

Jiang Shu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

I saw the ruins all around me, and above them, I saw a long river flowing through the void, which had not yet disappeared!
That was a long river of time!
At this moment, the river of time seemed utterly illusory, as if it were merely a reflection.

However, at that moment, a drop of water, somewhere between reality and illusion, suddenly surged out from the river of time, eventually breaking away from the riverbed and falling downwards.

The drop of true water descended, its aura suddenly spreading in all directions. In that instant, time seemed to become disordered, and everything began to pass by rapidly.

Four words suddenly popped into Jiang Shu's mind.

"Zhouguang True Water!"

He immediately tried to retreat to avoid the drop of true water falling, but suddenly realized that the omnipresent light and yin energy were all around him!

"These are troublesome."

Jiang Shu's expression was quite gloomy.

He had already returned to the Demon Realm by traversing between the two realms, but what made him most wary was undoubtedly the environment here.

You must know that the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's physical body was destroyed here back then!

Before this, Jiang Shu had been pondering what might have been left behind here.

However, he now understands.

After a demon lord who cultivated the Great Dao of Time self-destructed and perished, he actually managed to blast a rift between the almost nonexistent River of Time and reality, and the two were actually connected!
And from it flows the waters of the long river of time—the true waters of cosmic light!

Jiang Shu's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly retreated, immediately using the time laws he had comprehended to protect his body.

However, it was still too late. The surrounding time and energy were affected by that drop of true cosmic water and spread outwards.

In an instant, Jiang Shu immediately felt the erosion of time.

In that instant, Jiang Shu clearly sensed that his lifespan was rapidly slipping away.

One year, five years, ten years, a hundred years!
It wasn't until he managed to get far away from that cosmic light and true water that the influence was cut off. However, by then he had also been eroded by that light and time, losing nearly a hundred years of his lifespan!
Ordinary mortals, already dead.

"Fortunately, that drop of True Water of the Universe didn't fall directly on me, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

Jiang Shu suddenly took a deep breath.

The True Water of the Universe is an extraordinary natural treasure.

Legend has it that many great domains float on the river of time, being worn away by the true water of time. Only in special places can one see the condensation of the true water of time.

Any powerful individual whose cultivation of the Way of Time is not profound, even if they simply approach the True Water of Time, will likely lose a significant portion of their lifespan.

This is the embodiment of the passage of time!

Jiang Shu took a deep breath, looked up at the True Water of the Universe, and then fell into deep thought.

"I never expected it to turn out like this?"

He looked around and immediately gave a wry smile.

He was still certain that he was probably still on the last level of the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods, and that both the powerful demons and humans had probably all left by now.

"I don't know how to leave now."

At this moment, the effects of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's self-destruction still lingered in this place.

The surrounding area was filled with countless auras of time, even more chaotic than the space below!
After all, this is the place where a Guangyin Dao Master self-destructed and perished, and it is located in the void.

He couldn't help but give a wry smile, then activated the Time Law to protect himself and cautiously moved forward.

He took each step with extreme caution, yet a vast aura of time suddenly rushed towards him, as if to rapidly consume his lifespan or slow him down countless times.

Jiang Shu found it difficult to move forward, each step requiring extreme caution, lest he trigger any disturbances in the surrounding laws of time. He proceeded step by step, eventually approaching that single drop of cosmic light true water.

Not bad!

Although even getting close could shorten one's lifespan, there is no doubt that it is an absolutely top-tier treasure!
After all, this is just a drop of water in the long river of time, and in a sense, it is a direct manifestation of the great path of time!
He sealed himself off with all his might and quietly approached, his lifespan reduced by another ten years or so.

However, Jiang Shu was not flustered at this moment.

As a venerable one, he is quite young, and if he wished, he could even live for eternity!
Not to mention, as a high-level powerhouse in both realms, he naturally has the means to find ways to prolong life.

He quietly approached the drop of cosmic light true water, and the influence he felt grew stronger and stronger. At that moment, he immediately made his move.

The towering Jianmu tree within his body immediately swayed and twisted, instantly folding and distorting the surrounding space, transforming it directly into a small space resembling a cave!

The passage of time is often revealed when it is combined with space.

At this moment, Jiang Shu used spacetime techniques to temporarily seal that drop of cosmic light true water, compressing it into a small space with all his might.

"It's done!"

Jiang Shu was overjoyed.

You should know that obtaining even a single drop of the True Water of the Universe was quite an opportunity for him!

Jiang Shu put the drop of True Water of the Universe into his sleeve and turned to look in another direction.

At this moment, two more drops of Cosmic Light True Water were also seen.

"It seems this is the great opportunity we've found!"

Jiang Shu was overjoyed and paid off another twenty or thirty years of his lifespan to collect the other two drops of the True Water of the Universe.

For him, this was undoubtedly an extremely successful deal.

Comprehending the True Water of the Universe is equivalent to directly seeing the Great Dao of Time, which is even stronger than the Great Dao of Time he comprehended after devouring the dragon horn of the Eastern Wilderness Dragon Lord!
After all, in a sense, the true water of the universe is the embodiment of the great Dao of time.

Jiang Shu was overjoyed as he put the True Water of the Universe into his sleeve, and then looked around.

This place witnessed the self-destruction of a demon emperor, and the aura of time will likely continue for countless years.

Jiang Shu looked up at the long river of time in the sky, where the water was turbulent and time was flowing by. This was because the self-destruction of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor had created a certain connection with reality.

"However, the River of Time here will gradually disappear, and the production of the True Water of Time is ultimately limited."

Jiang Shu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

If this place can stably produce True Water of the Universe, there is no doubt that it will become one of the most important resource points in the Demon Realm and the Vast Expanse, and may even be qualified to directly trigger a large-scale war between the human race and the demon race.

After all, for a Venerable One, the only thing he most desires to comprehend, besides his own Great Dao, is the Great Dao of Time!

After all, to reach the Dao Lord realm, one must comprehend the Great Dao of Time.

Jiang Shu withdrew his gaze and carefully left the area.

Having used various means to escape this chaotic place, Jiang Shu immediately headed out of the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods.

Fortunately, he still had the corresponding coordinates. Through continuous spatial teleportation and stepping out step by step, he quickly left the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods and arrived at the ruins of the Heavenly Court.

Jiang Shu skillfully erected the barrier to protect himself from the continuous erosion of the Five Decay Poisons.

He then immediately set off for the bronze door that had led him there.

He moved with incredible speed and quickly found the bronze gate in the desert, however...

"It's locked?!"

He looked up and saw the ancient bronze gate, which exuded ancient celestial patterns, now wrapped with chains, clearly forcibly sealed off.

Jiang Shu tried to attack, but the ancient bronze gate remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Jiang Shu frowned slightly.

"This chain completely seals the bronze door off from its surroundings. To open it, we might have to destroy the surrounding space and everything else. It's really troublesome..."

Jiang Shu's pupils contracted slightly.

He estimated that if he attacked using his methods, it would probably take a considerable amount of time for continuous bombardment.

The problem is, this place is affected by the poison of the five decays!
If he keeps expending his energy bombarding here, he might be taken advantage of by the Five Decay Poisons, and in that case, he will suffer more losses than gains.

"Who exactly sealed this door completely?"

Jiang Shu immediately thought of his own human forces, but then realized it was impossible.

In his view, Taiwu Daozun would probably believe that he would return and would not cut off his escape route.

Even if other sects had this idea, they would definitely be stopped by Taiwu Daozun and other powerful figures.

Similarly, the demon race probably doesn't have this idea either.

"This……"

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, then immediately thought of a certain power.

Remnants of the Heavenly Court of Demons!

"They may have sealed this place off to prevent others from breaking in and cutting off their own escape route!"

"Furthermore, the methods used to seal this object are unlike any I have seen from humans or demons before; they seem quite ancient."

Jiang Shu couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

He estimated that if he wanted to break through it directly in a short time, he would probably need to reach the late stage of the Venerable realm.

He was referring to the late-stage Venerable realm, not simply combat strength comparable to other powerful individuals.

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, then turned and flew into the sky.

As expected, the crack that had been created by the demon imperial palace last time was also sealed, leaving no loopholes whatsoever.

"This is really troublesome..."

Jiang Shu shook his head and finally left, returning directly to the bottom of the Chaos Cave.

The reason he came here was simple—there was no influence of the poison of the five decays here.

Even in the void, the Venerable One can still live, at most the recovery time will be greatly prolonged.

However, if one were to be affected by the Five Decay Poisons, even a Dao Lord or a Demon Lord would likely be weakened.

Returning to the bottom of the Pantheon Cave, Jiang Shu scanned the surroundings and his gaze fell once again on the place shrouded in the illusory shadow of the River of Time.

"I should focus on cultivation first; this place might be an opportunity for me."

Reaching the late stage of the Venerable realm is not about the amount of power one possesses, but rather about one's understanding of the Great Dao of Time.

Once you can comprehend it to a certain level, you will naturally reach the later stage of the Venerable Realm.

If this were anywhere else, even with Jiang Shu's talent, it would probably be impossible for him to break through to the late stage of the Venerable realm in a short period of time!
But this place is different!

Here, tributaries of the River of Time are revealed, not to mention that he also has those three drops of True Water of Cosmic Light in his hand!
This is an excellent place and treasure for cultivating the Way of Time. (End of Chapter)
