No strange things are allowed to evolve!

He then changed the subject: "If you think you can fight me like this, you're wrong. Not only is there a huge difference in the power we wield, an insurmountable chasm, but the humanoid Sand Form is also the weakest form!"

"The weakest?" Jiang Shu remained unfazed by the sarcasm: "Then thank you for telling me that."

"Your first reaction was to thank me?" Sand God laughed smugly. "But isn't it a little too late to back down now?"

"No, this is not admitting defeat."

Jiang Shu shook his head seriously:

"I just appreciate you telling me this before you took action, so I could know that I am weak and accept it."

Once I accept my weakness, I will be invincible!

Sand God's smile vanished: "You... you really do have something wrong with your head, don't you...?"

"Further discussion is pointless."

Having said that, Jiang Shuling made his move, seizing the initiative and intending to strike first, just like he had done with the Sand Demon, swallowing his opponent whole and giving him a good lesson from the Heart of the Great Wilderness.

He leaped high into the air, landed heavily, and pounced on the other's body.

But...

Snapped!

The thunder was loud, but the raindrops were light.

Even though Jiang Shu had grown to its maximum size, it was still far smaller than the size of the Sand God.

His own size, which was enough to swallow up White Cloud City, was already exaggerated, but in front of Sand God, he was like a kitten pouncing on a behemoth weighing two or three hundred pounds.

Therefore, his sitting down did not achieve the effect of making the other party confess everything upon sitting down; it even seemed a bit like coquetry.

But these are not the most crucial issues.

Most importantly, he didn't know where the other party got the inspiration to become such a monster, with a complex structure and a hard shell on the surface.

I randomly picked a spot and took a bite.

With a snap, all of Jiang Shu's teeth broke off.

He was stunned on the spot.

"What are you doing?" came the Sand God's calm voice from below.

"You..." Jiang Shu said awkwardly in a lisping voice, "You're not as eloquent as your brother."

"So that's how you defeated him?"

The Sand God suddenly understood and burst into laughter:

"I told you long ago, he's not even worthy of shining my shoes. Yet you still dare to try to use the same methods you used on him on me? You can't even break through my defenses!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu's face instantly darkened.

This is really troublesome. As things stand, there's no way to get the other party into my body except to swallow it whole, but my current size is already my limit, and I can't get any bigger.

Does that mean I'm powerless against them?

Whoosh!

Jiang Shu jumped back, leaving the opponent's massive body, which now seemed like a small island to him. He spat out the broken tooth in his mouth and said, "With such a hard shell, you're really going to be the death of me."

These words drew a sneer from the Sand God: "This is because the perfection of your crystallization is far inferior to my result. Moreover, I thought you would use some surprising methods to surprise me. I was somewhat looking forward to it, but I did not expect it to be such a primitive attack method."

It seems that even if you were given the power to create all things from sand, you wouldn't know how to use it, just like an emperor using a golden hoe—it's laughable.

Knowing that he couldn't possibly defeat his opponent with his control over the desert's power, and therefore hadn't even considered using that power against them, Jiang Shu was greatly displeased by the misunderstanding and deliberately provoked them:

"Then show me how to use this power. Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk."

Still being stubborn?

Sand God sneered:

"Don't worry, I'll show you."

The voice just fell.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with a haze, and the world became dark and oppressive.

A sudden gust of wind arose, swirling up yellow sand, and several dragon-like whirlwinds rose from the ground.

Jiang Shu's field of vision gradually narrowed and shortened. In his eyes, the body of the Sand God gradually blurred, as if it had merged into this world.

The gradually forming tornadoes gave Jiang Shu a sense of extreme danger.

It's not just pressure, it's a real threat.

It's not a curse that the Heart of the Great Wilderness can eliminate, but rather a destructive force at the physical level.

Jiang Shu subconsciously wanted to teleport to the beacon left on the train, but he suddenly realized that his consciousness could not pass through the area covered by the storm.

It seemed that all the deserts covered by it had become part of the storm, moving wildly.

This caused the Sand God, which requires sand as a medium, to become ineffective, just like a river being cut in half, making it impossible for boats to pass.

In other words, this area has been completely sealed off for Jiang Shu!

Just as Jiang Shu was surprised.

Do you think that desertification is just the desert slowly eroding the world?

No, that's not it...

His voice was heard, but his person was not seen.

"This is true desertification; people in the cities can't even react before they are wiped out."

I know you possess the ability to suppress the power of sand in all things, but unfortunately, this cannot help you.

Because the humans who die in desertification do not die slowly; they evaporate and melt away in an instant, without even the chance to become mutants or newborns.

These sandstorms could destroy even a megacity capable of housing hundreds of millions of people in an instant. I'm curious, how do you expect to withstand them?

Before Jiang Shu could respond, he was engulfed by the storm, leaving only howling winds.

And just as the Sand God said, this desertification can destroy a megacity in an instant, so it can only last for a moment.

As the storm gradually subsided, Jiang Shu's figure had disappeared.

They appear to have been completely wiped out.

But Sand God was not happy at all, because he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Did they die a little too cleanly?

You should know that no trace in the desert could escape his control, yet he found nothing.

But how could such a massive creature have left no trace at all?

suddenly.

The sandstorm swelled up again, covering the sky.

The Sand God was taken aback, for he had done nothing, and the sandstorms were beyond his control.

Before he could react, Jiang Shu's figure reappeared, standing once again on the desert.

Moreover, he was completely unharmed, showing no signs of distress whatsoever, appearing calm and composed with ease.

Upon seeing this, Sand God frowned: "How is this possible..."

Jiang Shu raised his head slightly and smiled:

"A master once said that a good martial artist should be like water, because water is formless."

You can't catch it, and you can't hurt it with your fist.

Pour water into a cup, and it takes the shape of a cup; pour water into a bottle, and it takes the shape of a bottle; pour water into a teapot, and it takes the shape of a teapot.

Water can flow quietly, or it can surge violently!

"In the desert..." Upon hearing this, the Sand God frowned even more deeply: "Where would the water come from?"

"This is just an analogy."

Jiang Shu rolled her eyes at him and explained without any attempt to hide her feelings:

"Indeed, desertification is very powerful. Even I feel threatened with my life. But if I can't beat it, I can join!"

The Sand God realized something: "You didn't turn into water, you turned into sand?"

“That’s right.” Jiang Shu nodded, proudly saying, “Before being swallowed by the storm, I disintegrated myself and joined the storm that was tearing me apart, along with the sand on the ground. I simply joined in and then ascended to escape together!”

This incident is also recorded in the Infernal Affairs of the Anti-Bridge Blockade Alliance.

This storm can easily tear apart a megacity, turning it into a handful of yellow sand.

But if the metropolis changes first, then it becomes meaningless.

"Damn it...did you find a loophole...?" Sand God's tone was somewhat annoyed.

Jiang Shu shrugged: "Looks like neither of us can do anything to the other. You've run out of tricks, haven't you?"

"Who said I have no other options?" The Sand God laughed angrily. "Desertification may be powerful, but it is nothing more than an insignificant divine spell that I possess."

Jiang Shu was not surprised by this. If that was really the opponent's trump card, then his reaction after he neutralized it would not have been so calm. There must have been an even more powerful move that would have consumed even more energy.

Thinking this through, Jiang Shu felt the time was right and said, "Then I think we shouldn't waste any more time. Just use your trump card. Going back and forth like this is too time-consuming. Let's decide the outcome in one move."

The Sand God paused, then asked in a sinister tone, "Are you looking down on me? Don't think that just because you've resolved a simple desertification issue, you're qualified to make me use my full strength."

But after a pause, he laughed again: "However... it's fine. I'm no longer interested in torturing you. Every second you live is torture for me. Now I just want you dead!"

Boom!

Boom!

Jiang Shu suddenly heard a series of increasingly intense vibrations.

The sound came from the body of the Sand God, and it sounded somewhat like a heartbeat.

Accompanied by the sound of a heartbeat, the Sand God began to expand further.

It seems he doesn't just want to cover up the sky; he wants to become the sky, cover everything, and then completely become the sky of this world!

Soon, his shadow spread to the coastline and continued to extend towards the former eastern coast of the empire.

On the other side, it stretched out in the direction from which Jiang Shu came, and soon covered the Zodiac Train that was still traveling in the desert, and continued to cover Baiyun City and even the settlement of survivors.

"Die with gratitude, for all of humanity will be buried with you."

The Sand God's almost manic laughter echoed in the darkness.

He completely shut out all light, as if he intended to engulf the entire world.

But Jiang Shu remained calm despite being in the darkness.

It should be... about time, right?

Although my scheme was insignificant and might not have any effect on the other side in most cases, pushing the power to this extent must be the tipping point that would lead to collapse, right?

It was during this period of thought that he realized this.

The Sand God's body, which was about to spread to the entire world, suddenly stopped.

He continued to exert force in confusion, but what he received in return was intense pain.

It was like some kind of signal, like a suddenly snapped string on a musical instrument, and everything came to an abrupt end.

Immediately afterwards, his body shrank at an even faster and more unstoppable speed.

"What's going on... what's going on?! That shouldn't have been my limit... and why did it all dissipate? Why did it all dissipate?!"

The Sand God was utterly horrified, for he had not only returned to the starting point before he attempted to engulf the world, but had also transformed back into human form, returning to the starting point before the starting point itself.

"Is it because of this..."

Jiang Shu stretched out his hand and slowly opened his clenched fist. Some dust-like things, which were less than dust to Jiang Shu at this moment, fell from the sky and landed directly in the desert in front of the Sand God, sinking deep into the sand.

"What? What are these?" Sand God subconsciously bent down and dug out these things, then his eyes widened: "These are... my bones? You actually secretly left so many behind and didn't put them back in?!"

“To be precise…” Jiang Shu shook his head and explained, “It wasn’t me who left them. I just don’t know why, there were so many extras after I finished packing them.”

"That means it's not finished installing, you bastard!" It was clear that Sand God was very anxious.

"Actually, you saw it too..."
