Chapter 1425: He's Not Even at His Full Power Yet
"This person is merely at the early stage of the Desolate Realm; he's not worth our time. Let Niu Shadi take the credit."
"Hmph, Niu Shadi always manages to jump ahead. To encounter such ready-made credit this time, he's truly lucky."
"Don't let this old bull's thick eyebrows and big eyes fool you; his scheming is getting deeper and deeper!"
"What's the use of empty scheming? Strength is the foundation. If Niu Shadi can't take this person down within three moves, I'd like to see how he can have the face to clamor in the future."
"Hehehe..."
The nine great demons chuckled softly in the air, their tone full of sarcasm and their eyes revealing a faint trace of jealousy. They had never taken Jiang Yuan too seriously.
A few words, all filled with contempt.
Listening to their tone, defeating Jiang Yuan was a matter of course, something that could even be done effortlessly. Niu Shadi had clearly taken advantage, and the demons couldn't wait for him to make a fool of himself.
The words drifting from the sky made Niu Shadi even more furious.
Angry as he was, he also knew deeply that there must be no mishap. Gripping his giant axe tightly with both hands, he used eighty percent of his cultivation base right from the start!
"Boom!"
As the giant axe cleaved vertically once more, the power of antiquity continuously condensed, forming a blood-colored blade that tore the earth apart. In the blink of an eye, a deep valley formed on the ground, constantly approaching Jiang Yuan!
That terrifying aura made the expressions of the camps on both sides change drastically.
The cultivators of the Cloud Star were almost scared silly on the spot, their legs stiffening as they hid behind the people of the Shadow Isle. Xiong Fen and his son also watched with solemn expressions, subconsciously feeling a wave of lingering fear.
Compared to the panic of the crowd, Master Lu and the others in the front row were calm and composed. Lu Qingshan and Wu Yonghong even took out earpicks and nonchalantly started picking their ears...
Seeing the blood blade growing brighter and brighter, it was already right before his eyes.
Jiang Yuan also didn't dare to be careless, condensing his cultivation base and pointing a finger at the void!
"One Finger to the Origin!"
Today's Jiang Yuan had not only fully recovered his cultivation base, but after resting on the Shadow Isle, he had gained a lot more comprehension, making him even more terrifying than in his prime.
Seemingly the same finger as that day at the Star Lord's Mansion, but the power was worlds apart!
One finger pointed out.
Boundless Dao rhythm surged like a vast sea, and the power of antiquity condensed like a white rainbow, shooting out explosively amidst the ocean tide. As soon as that thousand-zhang blood blade was touched, it collapsed and dissipated, turning into clouds and smoke like rotten wood!
What was even more terrifying was that the white rainbow had not yet stopped, heading straight for Niu Shadi!
Niu Shadi's eyes widened in shock.
"This!"
Before he could be horrified for a few breaths, the white rainbow, carrying a terrifying cultivation base, was already right before his eyes. Niu Shadi could only subconsciously block it with his giant axe, but who knew he would be instantly pushed back violently by the white rainbow!
In an instant.
Smoke and dust filled the sky, and airwaves reverberated for a thousand miles!
Whoosh!
Just the aftermath was like a sweeping sandstorm, forcing the armies on both sides to once again urge their cultivation bases to protect themselves, constantly covering their eyes and retreating!
Immediately after, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the ground trembled with it!
"Boom!!!"
Feeling the undulations beneath their feet, the armies on both sides were repeatedly horrified.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, the entire audience widened their eyes in shock!
Niu Shadi had actually been beaten into the demon capital, leaving a terrifying collapsed silhouette on the city wall, and his figure was nowhere to be seen for a long time!
Just one round.
Not only did humans gain the upper hand, but even Niu Shadi couldn't parry it?
Instantly.
The armies on both sides were full of doubts and surprises, and even the demons in the sky quietly looked at each other.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
The demon army looked at each other in dismay, looking as if they had seen a ghost. The human cultivators, however, were extremely excited. Ancient Sage Luo Hongfei and the others in the rear row clenched their fists and stared intently, their old faces turning red from watching!
"Elder Jiang is indeed an ancient mighty figure of our human race!"
"To be able to see Elder Jiang's demeanor in this life, I can die without regrets!"
"In this battle, our human race might not be without a chance of winning!"
After one move, the morale of both sides reversed!
Listening to the various heated discussions behind them, Xiong Fen and his son couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. Noticing the calm expression of Master Lu in the front row, they barely managed to steady their expressions, finally not losing the demeanor of the Shadow Isle.
However, Xiong Fen's eyes were already burning with enthusiasm, and he couldn't help but ask for guidance from Lu Qingshan in the front row.
"Elder Lu..."
"This Elder Jiang, presumably he can defeat that bull's head? With Elder Jiang's strength, he might be able to rank in our Shadow Isle, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Zhong also waited nervously and attentively.
He didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be so remarkable. Thinking of how he used to call him "Old Jiang," he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive at this moment.
Who knew.
Lu Qingshan just blew the earwax off his fingertips and chuckled casually.
"Defeating that bull's head shouldn't be a big problem."
"As for strength, this Senior Jiang is also commendable, but if he wants to rank in our Shadow Isle, I'm afraid we'll have to talk about three digits or more. Whether he ranks or not doesn't make much sense..."
Even a casual remark could not be heard by the cultivators of the Cloud Star.
Only the people of the Shadow Isle in front of the restriction heard it clearly.
As the voice fell, a group of bigwigs did not voice any objections. Lei Qianjue and other ancient seniors behind them even smiled and nodded, looking modest in agreement.
Seeing this.
The Xiong father and son also had a bright light in their eyes, looking at each other full of pride.
"Elder Lu is absolutely right. We were superficial!"
"Come to think of it, no matter what kind of existence it is, it's still a bit lacking to be placed in our Shadow Isle. Crouching tigers and hidden dragons are not enough to describe the heritage of our Shadow Isle!"
"To be able to enter the island in this life is truly a great honor for our father and son!"
"Son, you're right. Even a cultivation base like Elder Jiang's is still very far behind. It can be seen that our father and son will have to work hard in the future. The Great Dao of internal competition is vast and boundless!"
The father and son nodded and cheered each other up, no longer having their previous nervousness.
Even if Niu Shadi shouted violently and rushed out of the demon capital, they still looked calm, increasingly having the bearing of the people of the Shadow Isle.
With Master Lu and a group of elders holding the line, what the hell is this bull's head?
On the contrary, Niu Shadi.
After suffering a loss, he rushed out violently. The shattered giant axe in his hand made his anger surge, and the strange eyes of the demons in the sky caught from the corner of his eye made him even more ashamed and resentful.
Looking at Jiang Yuan standing opposite in the distance with a normal expression, a murderous intent finally appeared in his eyes!
Circulating his cultivation base again, the Bull Demon Divine Ability was decisively executed!
With his hands clasped together, a thousand-zhang phantom appeared behind him, its nostrils resembling the sun and moon swallowing endless demonic qi!
"Swallowing Mountains and Rivers!"
Jiang Yuan also showed no weakness, condensing the power of antiquity in both palms, and a divine ability technique with intertwining colors struck out head-on!
"Ten Thousand Dharmas Return to the Origin!"
The second move had already changed the color of the heaven and earth. Using the power of divine abilities, this battle reached a white-hot stage unexpectedly fast, startling the armies on both sides to retreat violently again. No living creature dared to trespass within a thousand miles.
At the same time, it also affected tens of thousands of divine senses on both sides staring intently!
Seeing Niu Shadi use his trump card, the demons in the sky also looked stern. Although there was still a trace of sarcasm, their attitude had changed from before.
"The second move even brought out a divine ability. I didn't expect Niu Shadi to be forced to this extent!"
"This human cultivator is indeed extraordinary, worthy of being their strongest trump card!"
"Hmph! Niu Shadi, this piece of trash, actually used a divine ability against a human. He's really bringing shame to our race!"
"With the great battle imminent, let's talk less. Right now, we should still share a bitter hatred of the enemy and focus on the great cause of our race!"
"Forget it. Although this battle is somewhat ugly, as long as he uses a divine ability, the outcome is already determined. The flesh and blood of our race are tyrannical, and our divine abilities are superior to those of humans. Even if they are of the same rank, humans absolutely have no match!"
The expressions of the demon lords in the sky grew serious. The Tree Demon Leader and the Blood Ant Leader looked gloomy, evidently highly dissatisfied with this result. Even if they achieved victory later, they would still consider it a disgrace to the demon race.
However, in the next moment.
After the two divine powers clashed and the world changed color.
Not only was Jiang Yuan completely battered by the turbulent currents, his gray robes dyed blood-red, but the thousand-foot phantom behind Niu Shadi also became increasingly blurry, and even his true body began to continuously rupture!
Bang! Bang!
Amidst the explosions, Niu Shadi's body suffered a backlash from the desolate ancient power. Essence blood sprayed out from his meridians, and following a muffled groan, he fell to the ground, unable to rise!
Boom!
As Niu Shadi collapsed, the phantom behind him dissolved into nothingness. Despite this, the residual might of his corpse still unleashed a monstrous torrent of Great Dao power.
In an instant.
Endless violent winds swept all around, and even the gaps in the high walls of the demon capital were frantically torn apart. The demon lords in the sky stared with eyes wide as brass bells, and the entire battlefield fell into a dead silence.
Niu Shadi had actually lost?!
Staring intently at Niu Shadi's corpse for merely a few breaths.
Even the giants of the demon race could no longer remain calm, their low voices filled with endless shock and doubt!
This is impossible!
How could a mere human defeat Niu Shadi after he unleashed his divine ability!
Could it be that this person has also stepped into the Great Perfection of the Desolate Realm's Initial Law phase?!
Even so, his cultivation level has not surpassed Niu Shadi's. It is absolutely impossible for him to win, unless this person's comprehension of divine abilities is above Niu Shadi's!
To think there is someone with such monstrous talent among humans? This is absolutely impossible!
After a few cries of shock echoed in the sky, the demon army began to show signs of panic.
Witnessing Niu Shadi's defeat dealt a significant blow to the entire demon race. Even the remaining nine great demon lords revealed shock in their eyes, entirely stripped of their previous lofty confidence.
A long while later.
The demons finally seemed to barely steady their state of mind. Looking at Jiang Yuan standing proudly alone on the ground, a look of dread could not help but surface in their eyes. But as they saw clearly the shocking, bloody state of his body, they gradually let out ferocious laughter.
This person's talent is indeed remarkable, truly worthy of being the human race's trump card!
I did not expect the human race to actually possess such a profound foundation. It seems we underestimated these lowly creatures! In all fairness, speaking solely of talent, even I feel somewhat inferior. I am willing to call him the strongest human in all eternity.
Although he is strong, he is but one person. The outcome of the grand scheme is already decided!
Exactly! This strongest trump card no longer possesses any combat power. The human race has no choice but to surrender without a fight!
Ultimately, our race is the existence that dominates all of eternity!
Jie jie jie...
As the demon giants laughed aloud, the demon army once again regained its brutal demeanor. Their ferocious laughter spread throughout the dark lands, making the human cultivators feel a wave of suffocating frustration.
Elder Jiang had done his best!
It was a pity that only Jiang Yuan alone could reach such a realm today. The human race's last hope was about to be severed right here. They hated their own shallow cultivation, unable to turn the tide of the battle!
Many Cloud Star cultivators revealed shame and unwillingness in their eyes, clenching their fists tightly with the absolute resolve to fight to the death!
Right at this moment.
Jiang Yuan, who had been standing quietly for a long time, suddenly let out a weak laugh.
Haha...
Who said I am the strongest combat power? You petty demonic creatures are rejoicing a bit too early!
As soon as these words were spoken.
The thousands of Cloud Star cultivators raised their eyes in astonishment, and the sky full of demonic shadows was equally taken aback. All the ferocious laughter abruptly stopped, and an eerie shock spread across millions of miles!
At this moment.
Both sides were full of shock and doubt, unable to believe what they had just heard.
A heaven-defying existence like Jiang Yuan was not the human race's strongest combat power?!
That could not be possible!
Just as suspicion welled up in their hearts.
Master Lu suddenly began to walk forward slowly. His movements were neither fast nor slow, yet they firmly captured the tens of thousands of divine senses from both sides, shocking all kinds of eyes to widen more and more!
Even the nine great demon lords in the sky suddenly felt a tremor in their hearts.
An extremely ominous premonition silently spread throughout the entire demon race!
Under the watchful eyes of the masses.
Master Lu steadily stepped into the battlefield, cupped his fists in greeting to Jiang Yuan, then gifted him medicinal pills and stood guard in front of him. Finally, he slowly raised his eyes and smiled at the sky, his expression incomparably indifferent.
His actions and demeanor dumbfounded the entire demon race; even the Cloud Star cultivator army was so shocked at this moment that their breathing stagnated.
He had not spoken a single word the entire time, yet the dark lands suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop!
