Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 356 - 231: I am Jiang Shu, the first in the Hundred Dynasties War, the Jiang Shu who slays the evil demons!

Cultivating from the Detachment Realm to the Furnace Fire Realm was like crossing a heavenly chasm. The difference was enormous. Martial Artists had to accumulate power day after day, continuously purifying, honing, and tempering their Primordial Power and spiritual power to achieve a qualitative change from a quantitative one. This was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Therefore, in the True Martial Sect, there were many servant disciples but fewer Outer Disciples. Even the Dynasty’s geniuses, upon arriving at the True Martial Sect, would need several years of tempering before they had the chance to liquefy their Primordial Power and condense their Spirit’s True Fire. A servant disciple, no matter how powerful, was like a three-year-old child in the eyes of a Furnace Fire Realm expert—weak and flimsy.

So, when the evil demon attacked Jiang Shu, fear and pity flickered in the eyes of the nearby servant disciples. Although they had not spent much time together, it was a case of ’when the rabbit dies, the fox grieves; creatures mourn their own kind.’ Everyone believed Jiang Shu was doomed this time. After all, any evil demon possessed strength comparable to a Furnace Fire Realm Cultivator.

Surging spiritual power roared like a tornado. Formidable strength fell like a comet. The evil demon that had assumed Lu Qingling’s form opened its gaping maw, as if to swallow Jiang Shu whole. At this moment, Jiang Shu’s Essence Blood burned fiercely; every pore in his body felt like it was erupting with dynamite. The Holy Embryo’s breathing roared like a high-speed internal combustion engine. The Primordial Power within his 365 acupoints, along with his five vital organs and 206 bones, coalesced into an earth-shattering punch!

BOOM!

A tremendous sound reverberated through the region, and space itself seemed to collapse. Under this punch, the evil demon’s advance was actually halted, malevolent winds swirling around it. Jiang Shu also used the force of the recoil to retreat several yards.

"Good, you’re indeed the one I’ve set my eyes on!" Lu Qingling, who was closely watching the battlefield, had a bright glint in her eyes. Although this evil demon had only recently formed, its strength was incomparably greater than that of the servant disciples. An ordinary Martial Artist at the Peak of the Detachment Realm would have their mind completely crushed under its strongest strike and become the evil demon’s nourishing flesh and blood. Yet Jiang Shu managed to preserve his life under such an attack. This kind of strength is truly noteworthy, Lu Qingling mused.

"Jiang Shu, hold it off!" Lu Qingling shouted sharply. "Afterwards, I will request a commendation for you and ensure you receive an extra fifty Contribution Points!" A crimson treasure bead suddenly emerged from her Storage Bag, floating above her palm. The treasure bead resonated with Buddhist chants, and a burst of Pure Yang Qi exploded forth.

Evil demons were embodiments of extreme evil and Yin energy. Pure Yang Treasures were their greatest counter. How could she have ventured into the Underground Abyss unprepared?

The evil demons, initially locked in a fierce struggle with the other three Outer Disciples, faltered upon hearing the Buddhist chants, their attacks slowing considerably. With the shift from offense to defense, the three Outer Disciples each unleashed their Divine Skills, pressing their advantage.

Furnace Fire Realm! Divine Skills! Jiang Shu’s eyes blazed with fervent admiration as he glanced at Lu Qingling and the three Outer Disciples. The punch he had thrown moments before was nearly his peak attack, yet even so, it had only managed to halt the evil demon’s assault. He could only imagine how formidable Furnace Fire Realm Outer Disciples truly were, capable of suppressing an evil demon. If the Outer Disciples are already so powerful, what about the Inner Sect Disciples? And the Primordial Pill Realm... In Jiang Shu’s mind, the image of Master Ming Lei’s corpse flashed violently. Only at this moment did he fully understand that the greatest value in Master Ming Lei’s inheritance was not the Elixirs, not the Spirit Rank Treasures, but the Primordial Pill. It was the ten Divine Skills contained within the Primordial Pill! Once he truly entered the Furnace Fire Realm, he could refine Master Ming Lei’s Primordial Pill and assimilate the Divine Skills that Master Ming Lei had painstakingly cultivated for countless years. In a short time, he could possess the top battle prowess of the Furnace Fire Realm and ascend to the Divine Skills list! Ordinary Detachment Realm Martial Artists required an unknown amount of time to purify, hone, and temper their Primordial Power and spiritual power. But with the Divine Power Kunpeng Swallowing Technique he possessed, if he could kill an evil demon and devour its essence energy, his spiritual power would become incredibly close to the Furnace Fire Realm!

"Your flesh and blood body, honed to such perfection. Offer it to me, and I shall lead you to experience the strength of the Furnace Fire Realm. Do you desire Divine Skills? Do you wish for a lifespan of five hundred years? Do you want to trample these little wretches of the True Martial Sect underfoot?" Seeing that seduction by female allure was ineffective, the evil demon’s voice began to whisper temptations. Indeed, within the True Martial Sect, some servant disciples with unstable spiritual power had been bewitched by evil demons and became their slaves.

"Divine Skills, are you talking about this?" Jiang Shu retorted. The Heavenly Intent True Self Fist flowed continuously, vast and unending. His essence, qi, and spirit were perfectly unified. With each breath of the Holy Embryo, surging Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was drawn from beyond the Underground Abyss, replenishing every acupoint. The Kunpeng Swallowing Technique burst forth with each punch and palm strike. Jiang Shu opened his mouth as if to inhale, his figure towering, as the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi formed into streaks of tornadoes. Between his fists and palms, any wandering souls that had been bewitched into attacking were completely swallowed by the endless suction force, as if entering a grinding mill, letting out piteous screams.

"Divine Skills! This is a Divine Skill! You’re just a Detachment Realm Martial Artist; how could you possibly have cultivated a Divine Skill! Unless it was bestowed by a Nirvana True Monarch... No, impossible!" the evil demon shrieked. "How can someone like you still be considered a mere Martial Artist!" Its voice trembled. Possessing a Divine Skill meant it couldn’t kill this Martial Artist quickly. This means... I’m going to die! the evil demon realized with a tremor.

Because on the battlefield, the other evil demons were already starting to retreat. Another evil demon had just been completely suppressed and killed, then refined into Evil Qi by an Evil Qi Cultivating Gourd.
