Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 751 - 417: One Year Later—The Changing Situation of the Endless Sea in the Inner Ring of the Star Ruins Realm (Part 2)

After a full two incense sticks of time, Jiang Shu suddenly exhaled deeply, feeling as if his physical body had broken through a certain shackle. The prototype of the Blood Essence Dao he comprehended was now keeping pace with the Devouring Dao prototype.

"Fifty Blood Crystals have yielded such effects. It's a pity that there aren't many Blood Crystals left. In this Star Sky Giant Ship, I haven't found a way to return to the Cang Mang Domain; I'll have to wait until reaching the Eternal Tower to assess the situation."

Jiang Shu opened his eyes and looked at the now transparent Blood Crystal in his hand, a trace of joy finally flashing in his eyes.

He formed his fingers into a blade.

Heavenly Rank Divine Power, Soul Burning Blood Essence Saber!

With this strike, its power had increased by nearly fifty percent!

"In the coming time, I'll simultaneously comprehend the Blood Essence Dao while cultivating divine skills."

Jiang Shu closed his eyes again, his form changing, continuously expanding, and contracting. He was, in fact, beginning to cultivate the Heavenly Rank Divine Power, Law of Heaven and Earth.

He had never ventured through the Eternal Tower, unaware of what kinds of battles lay ahead inside.

But regardless, advancing his own strength further is undoubtedly beneficial.

The Star Sky Giant Ship traversed the chaotic void, drawing ever nearer to the Inner Ring.

The geniuses aboard the giant ship were also immersed in their cultivation, racing against the clock to find new cultivation opportunities.

Inside their hearts, there was both excitement and confusion.

They all hailed from the Outer Ring, and their understanding of the Eternal Tower wasn't much greater than Jiang Shu's.

Even the Eleventh Rank Venerables of the Star Ruins Realm could only manipulate spatial changes, not control time.

To them, possessing the ability to alter time within the Eternal Tower was incomparably mysterious.

It was the secret place they dreamed of entering.

Only by entering it could they rapidly grow at a speed unimaginable to outsiders.

...

Cang Mang Domain, Endless Sea.

Nearly a year had passed since the opening of the Ancient Demon Sect relics.

Throughout the year, various Elders of the Demon Sect had rarely appeared in the Endless Sea, and the expansion speed of the Demon Race had slowed down.

The entire Endless Sea entered a rare phase of peaceful development.

Every Sect genius took advantage of this time to heal their injuries and comprehend and cultivate the divine skills they had previously hit bottlenecks in.

Combat is always the best practice method!

"The hidden power of the Demon Sect is indeed substantial; two more Daoist Monarchs of Vientiane Realm have emerged, breaking formations continuously. I just hope this formation can hold out a while longer."

Hai Guang True Monarch arrived at the place where his junior brother was refining artifacts, speaking amidst his concerns.

Now, although the great battle seemed calm, there were actually undercurrents surging. The numerous Elders of the Demon Sect were all preoccupied with the Ancient Demon Sect relics, and once the formation breaks—

Even Elders originally unqualified could enter the relics.

Once they gain the opportunities, their strength will rapidly increase.

"If something from the Chaos Hole Realm emerges, this formation definitely won't last a year, but it's still early for those in the Vientiane Realm."

Ruyi Monarch replied while refining artifacts.

His understanding of formations was naturally much stronger than his senior brother Hai Guang True Monarch.

"Moreover, breaking the formation doesn't guarantee entry. Without tokens, the Ancient Demon Sect relics may be perilous. Senior brother, you should take this time to rest more. Look at me, the frequency of my artifact refining has decreased lately."

"I mainly worry about our junior brother. I actually regret giving him that token now. Back then, he was still in Primordial Pill Realm, and I thought if the relic truly opened, with his strength upon entering, he could accumulate all resources needed for cultivation in the Nirvana Realm."

"After coming out, he definitely would be at Nirvana Realm Middle Stage, even Late Stage. But I didn't expect our junior brother's cultivation talent to reach such an extraordinary realm, having already appeared on the Nirvana Golden List without even entering the relic. If he just follows the steps of cultivation, soon he'll have the chance to advance to Vientiane Realm. There's no need to take a turn in the relic, which might easily trigger various incidents."

"Those old monsters of the Demon Sect aren't easy to deal with. They've each lived through two lives, even three or four, and I fear our junior brother might unwittingly fall into their trap."

Hai Guang True Monarch sighed at this point, his tone filled with regret that was difficult to conceal.

If anything really happened to their junior brother, he might truly never forgive himself.

"Second senior brother, our junior brother was sent by Master personally, surely having various trump cards. Besides, although junior brother is young, he's been through numerous battles. When it comes to fighting, don't say he's comparable to us; perhaps even eldest senior brother is no match for our junior brother."

"How about after junior brother finishes refining artifacts, we have a good drink, rest for a while, and peacefully wait for junior brother's good news."

In contrast to Hai Guang True Monarch's worrying nature, Ruyi Monarch seemed more carefree.

He clearly remembered, when he took his refined Kunpeng Demon Wings to show his Master, requesting Master to pass them on to junior brother.

Master, right before his eyes, began to refine the Kunpeng Demon Wings anew.

He forcefully elevated this Heavenly Rank Treasure to the level of Quasi-Tao Artifact!

With this Quasi-Tao Artifact, when it comes to means of evasion and ensuring survival, in the world, how many Nirvana Realm True Monarchs could compare to our junior brother?

Furthermore, junior brother has Taoist Talismans and various opportunities.

Maybe in those Ancient Demon Sect relics, it wouldn't be the old monsters chasing junior brother, but junior brother stirring up a bloody storm instead.

Truly hoping junior brother can bring back some elixirs, treasure medicine, and treasure artifacts from the relic.

The Ancient Demon Sect of its time was splendid beyond measure. With its disappearance and scattering, many methods for refining elixirs and treasure artifacts have been lost.

"Indeed, let's wait. Perhaps when he returns from the Ancient Demon Sect relic, we won't be able to casually call Jiang Junior Brother our junior brother anymore."

Vientiane Realm...

Even for these intimate senior brothers, upon seeing him, they must respectfully address him as Daoist Monarch!

...

Jiang Shu naturally knew nothing of the changes happening in the Cang Mang Domain.

While cultivating, he clearly felt a slight tremor in the Star Sky Giant Ship, as if entering a more profound area.

The surrounding Cosmic Origin was unusually dense.

"Is this... the Inner Ring of Star Ruins Realm?"

Jiang Shu opened his eyes, halted his cultivation, and after fusing the fiftieth Blood Crystal, he chose not to continue.

He was just waiting to enter the Eternal Tower, then proceed to the Ancient Demon Sect relics to continue gathering Blood Crystals.

Not knowing if any changes occurred in the relic over the past year.

Whether some old monsters have, after gaining opportunities, soared in power.

Standing up, he walked out the door, and at this moment, many geniuses had already assembled in the dining hall.

They had all seen the news on the Jiuyu Internal Network, knowing the Star Sky Giant Ship was about to stop.

Each one was shoulder to shoulder, as each had lingered in the Ninth Rank for an extended time, wanting to seize this great opportunity and break through the realm.

"Lord Jiang, before entering the Eternal Tower, how about a sparring match!"

Yuan Tai's eyes sparkled with a mad fighting intent, as he threaded his way through the geniuses to Jiang Shu, lowering his voice to suggest.

Having sparred with Jiang Shu and undergone a few more months of cultivation, his physical body showed further improvement.

He hoped to find his shortcomings again by engaging Jiang Shu before entering the Eternal Tower.

"Sure, but this time, let's stop at one punch each."

Jiang Shu spoke with a carefree smile.

"Heh, don't worry. This time, I'll definitely surprise you!"

Yuan Tai took a deep breath, forming his five fingers into a fist. His punch wasn't fast, but all the power in his body was concentrated in this punch.

He had absolute confidence in this punch.

As a member of the Titan Clan, his physical strength was unrivaled. If it were only about physical power, he wouldn't fear any genius in the Business Association!

Even if Lord Jiang were a supreme genius, he was ultimately from the Human Clan, and under his punch, he'd surely take a couple of steps backward.
