The next moment, the Venerable One transformed into clouds and mist, which suddenly gathered together as if to recombine his limbs.

How could Jiang Shu possibly give him that chance? His fist flashed and struck the Venerable one squarely in the chest.

boom!
In an instant, the Venerable One's body was pierced through, and he died a miserable death.

It returned to its original form from the state of clouds and mist.

Jiang Shu flicked his finger, and a deep, mysterious light surged forth.

puff!
The previous attack had already severely injured the Venerable One, but the subsequent attack pierced through his head, killing him instantly.

"Senior brother!"

The other fleeing Venerable One roared angrily, but his speed did not stop at all, and he continued to flee in the distance.

Jiang Shu sneered, made no further moves, turned and left, completely ignoring the disciples protected by the sect's internal formation.

Firstly, it's not worth it, and secondly, he has no interest in slaughtering these weak people.

Jiang Shu rushed over and randomly selected a target.

This time he was much more cautious. Instead of using spatial coordinates to jump directly, he used various means to sneak up and kill powerful people. In a short time, the number of Venerable experts under his control began to increase.

Tianji Pavilion.

The organization founded by the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out and rushed into the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

"Oh no! Something's wrong!"

The old man of heavenly secrets frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong now?"

Upon hearing this, the tenth-realm cultivator who was spreading the intelligence quickly said, "According to the latest news, that scoundrel went to the Chen and Lu families and killed another Venerable."

"Another venerable one has fallen..."

The old man's face was extremely pale.

At this moment, news had already arrived that the eighth Venerable had died at Jiang Shu's hands.

For a moment, even the old man of the heavens was filled with doubt, wondering if that person was someone who wanted to kill all the Venerables and weaken their master.

Upon realizing this, the old man of the heavenly secrets suddenly had a strange expression.

Because this idea actually has a certain chance of being realized.

After all, compared to a head-on battle, killing those lone Venerables would undoubtedly make the operation much easier!

The old man of the heavenly secrets waved his hand, disappeared into the surroundings, and revealed a somewhat troubled expression.

"My lord, how should we choose..."

Just as he finished speaking, a hint of surprise appeared in the old man's eyes.

"How is it, Senior Tianji?"

The cultivator who came to deliver the message quickly spoke, seemingly realizing something.

The old man glanced at him, then said, "The lord has given the order: all forces must gather and unite, and there must be no disobedience."

Upon hearing these words, the cultivator's expression changed immediately, and he nodded repeatedly, clearly realizing what they meant.

"We will immediately summon all our disciples and have them come here."

Then, as soon as he finished speaking, the order was immediately issued.

……

"Why have all the venerable ones disappeared recently? Could it be that they've all gathered together?"

Jiang Shu wandered across the land for a while but did not find a suitable prey, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He searched many places, including various families and sects, but apart from some small fry, he couldn't find any strong people at all.

The only place where one could find traces of a powerful figure is probably Tianji City.

"Right now, all the powerful figures are probably holed up in Tianji City. If I were to charge in alone, it would be suicide."

Jiang Shu stood with his hands behind his back, deep in thought.

He pondered for a moment, searching for a solution.

Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly looked into the distance and said in a low voice, "Come out here!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure appeared from a distance.

"Fellow Daoist, I never expected to meet you here."

Jiang Shu looked up, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The person who appeared here at this moment was none other than the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance whom he had met before.

"Why are you here, fellow Daoist?"

Jiang Shu spoke cautiously and immediately prepared to move around.

After all, he already knew the secrets of this world; any being could be a head of that mechanical giant.

Upon hearing his words, the leader of the Heaven-Defying Sect chuckled and then said, "I know you have concerns. I came here simply to observe the changes in the nearby sects."

"At this moment, I'm afraid a big problem is about to occur."

"What trouble?"

Jiang Shu immediately pondered before speaking.

"That person is about to wake up!"

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance sighed, "Your Excellency has caused far too much trouble, killing numerous Venerables. Even we are aware of this matter. I'm afraid the situation is about to become very troublesome."

"She's awake..."

Jiang Shu's pupils contracted, and his eyes immediately turned serious.

He immediately realized that the one the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance was referring to was probably the enormous mechanical giant he had seen in the Bright Vast Star Region.

That is the other party's complete form.

Formed from the convergence of billions of mechanical heads, it possesses vast computing power, capable of directly suppressing the strong of the human and insectoid races, and also able to engage in a computing power contest with the machine race's mother body!

An absolutely terrifying existence!
Even if Jiang Shu has now broken through to the late stage of the Venerable Realm, if he really encountered that person at his peak, he would probably have to run away immediately.

That is definitely not something that any single strong person can easily deal with.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Shu spoke up, "If that's the case, why didn't you go to that direction?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance gave a bitter smile. "I know you doubt me, fellow Daoist. After all, I am also a person of this world, and it is very possible that my mind has already been controlled."

"But I can tell you, fellow Daoist, that we are probably still free at this moment and have not been forcibly manipulated. Or rather, that one no longer has the power to control our life and death."

"What do you mean?"

"That being seems to be under constant attack from the outside world, while also having to cleanse its internal problems, namely the injuries left over from the last great war."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance spoke eloquently, even releasing his mental energy, and adopting a posture that allowed Jiang Shu to inspect him at will.

Jiang Shu did not check, but instead carefully looked at the leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance, and pondered for a moment: "So that's how it is, I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shu prepared to turn around and leave.

Where do you intend to go, sir?

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance quickly spoke up!
"I intend to handle this alone and do not plan to join forces with you all."

Jiang Shu spoke up.

"This……"

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance looked somewhat troubled, but he also understood why Jiang Shu wanted to do this.

"We are ultimately incorporated into the system. Even if we break free for a while, we don't know when those constraints will return."

The leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance sighed, his expression darkening slightly. He naturally understood why Jiang Shu was acting this way. "However, fellow Daoist, I have recently discovered that it seems there are more beings from beyond the heavens arriving."

"People from outer space?"

Jiang Shu paused slightly: "People from outer space? Could they have drifted out unintentionally from subspace?"

"No, they seem to have a specific purpose in mind, coming directly here, and they seem to be emanating an aura of destruction..."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance immediately spoke.

An aura of destruction... Jiang Shu's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of horror immediately appeared in his eyes.

He suddenly realized a problem.

"Yes! The Doomsday Cult seems to be closely related to the destructive forces of this world, with significant connections. Perhaps they've joined forces here, in which case..."

Jiang Shu felt a chill run down his spine.

Without a doubt, this is an extremely troublesome matter.

If he were to make a mistake, he might also perish.

"I know about this matter. My advice to you is to stay away from them."

As soon as Jiang Shu finished speaking, his figure vanished without a trace.

Upon seeing Jiang Shu's figure disappear, the leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance let out a long sigh, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Now, where should our organization go from here?"

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away, in a desolate wilderness.

Jiang Shu suddenly appeared here.

"This is troublesome. The Doomsday Cult has also gotten involved in this situation. The situation is probably no ordinary one..."

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, lost in thought.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"The Doomsday Cult? What kind of organization is that?"

Jiang Shu looked up and then took out the Golden Crow statue that he had kept in his sleeve.

At this moment, the Golden Crow statue had already been sealed by him. However, it could barely sense the passage of time in the outside world and hear some noises.

Jiang Shu glanced at the other party, then said, "The Doomsday Cult is a group of madmen who cultivate the Great Dao of Destruction. Rebirth and destruction are rebirth, and all things will eventually be destroyed. In the ancient times of this world, they almost succeeded once, almost causing the Heavenly Emperor to fall into the end."

At this moment, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor couldn't help but secretly marvel upon hearing Jiang Shu's description.

"How is it possible to plunge the world into its end?"

Although he is a powerful figure at the Dao Lord level, the Dao of Time is clearly unrelated to the Dao of Destruction.

"I don't know."

Jiang Shu slowly shook his head.

"If I could unleash the full power of the Demon Lord, perhaps I could go against the current and travel back in time to see what really happened."

The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor spoke helplessly.

He was extremely interested in this new world and wanted to know everything about it.

In a sense, he can only stay here for the time being, but once he leaves this place and returns to the vast Great Domain or the Demon Domain, he may immediately be assimilated by the Heavenly Dao.

Here, however, he, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor, was merely a remnant soul, and the laws of the universe would not deliberately target him.

"The situation is extremely critical."

Jiang Shu slowly raised his head and looked into the depths of subspace.

At this moment, the torchlight he wanted to see did not appear in the depths of the subspace.

"Should we take the risk and give it a try?"

Jiang Shu took off and flew away from the planet, then approached the edge of subspace.

He stepped forward, and then saw that in the subspace, turbulent currents surged, creating towering waves of spacetime.

When he was still in the mid-stage of the Venerable Realm, he almost dared not step into it. After all, the turbulent currents at this level might trap Jiang Shu if he stepped in, and there was also a risk to his life.

However, he is currently only at the late stage of the Venerable realm.

His control over the Great Way of Time has far surpassed what it was before.

"Let's give it a try..."

Jiang Shu took a deep breath, then raised his hand and pressed it towards the distant spatial waves.

boom!
The subspace waves surged fiercely and violently, as if they were about to unleash a colossal wave. However, Jiang Shu exerted all his strength, and the waves gradually subsided, as if they were being forcibly suppressed by an invisible force.

"Perhaps there is hope..."

Jiang Shu's heart stirred slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

He continued his efforts, doing everything in his power to suppress the wave, forcibly pushing it down little by little.

As he intervened, the waves gradually subsided and were suppressed.

"Alright, it should be almost done!"

Jiang Shuyue felt more and more that he might be able to open up a path!

The waves surged ever more fiercely, the torrents roared, and Jiang Shu exerted all his strength, a hint of ferocity appearing on his face.

Then, just as he was about to flatten the wave and turn it into a smooth road, a violent backlash came crashing down on him!

boom!
Countless waves surged up and came in one after another, as if they were endless, and immediately swept over the area where Jiang Shu was located.

"not good!"

Jiang Shu's pupils contracted, and he immediately fled into the distance, while at the same time, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

It was as if a gaze, spanning an indescribable distance, had landed directly on his body.

Jiang Shu trembled slightly, then suddenly raised his head, his pupils shrinking.

"It's been detected."

This gaze was almost identical to the one he had encountered in the Bright Vast Star Region.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Shu immediately fled into the distance, wanting to get away from this place as soon as possible.

At that moment, it was as if something pierced through the waves of time and space, coming from the outside.

"What is that!?"

Jiang Shu's pupils contracted, and he instinctively tried to destroy it, but a voice rang in his ears.

"Venerable Jiang, hello, I am Mechanical Mother No. 8."

"Mechanical Matrix!?"

Jiang Shu's pupils contracted, and he immediately set off, soaring into the distance.

He used the Heaven-Reaching Tree several times to shift the universe and escape that gaze that seemed capable of crushing stars.

When he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the safe zone, he heard the voice of the mechanical mother again, but this time it was intermittent, as if he were on the edge of the signal zone.

"Jiang, Venerable One... how are you now? What exactly is the situation within the Time Tide?"

Jiang Shu paused slightly, then tried to respond.

"This is bad; that thing is likely to revive."

After he responded, the voice of the mechanical mother came again after a short while.

"Be careful, that... is not an ordinary, solitary being, but a collective will, the convergence of tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of countless beings." (End of Chapter)
