Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 783 - 433: Fighting the Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm! (Part 2)

The imposing Big Hand dominates the scene, the Vientiane Realm, always remains the Vientiane Realm, where even a casual strike is something that several Nirvana Realm Peak True Monarchs, despite all efforts, cannot display.

In Elder Soul Devourer's view, even the True Monarchs from the same Demon Sect would have to use some trump card to deal with this move.

Let's see how Jiang Shu will execute it?

"What exactly is Jiang Taixuan thinking?"

Seeing Elder Soul Devourer take action, the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch also stopped healing, suddenly standing up as two Yin Corpses gathered around him, staring directly at Jiang Shu.

Even some ordinary Nirvana Realm disciples from the Eight Great Sects would carry protective Treasures or Talismans, given Jiang Shu's stature, he likely holds even stronger trump cards.

Victory is certainly impossible, but if he manages to counter the Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm, causing Elder Soul Devourer to falter, it would be completely advantageous for him.

If Jiang Shu does not appear, he can only watch helplessly as Elder Soul Devourer takes the Inheritance, but now, with the standoff, he might be able to reap benefits!

The other True Monarchs also turned their gaze towards the battle, seeing Jiang Shu forming hand seals, five elemental embryonic forms of the Five Elements Dao — Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth — manifesting in the sky, intertwining together to collide fiercely with Elder Soul Devourer's Big Hand.

"Jiang Shu's mastery in the Five Elements Dao embryonic forms is so profound!"

Withered Wood True Monarch's eyes were astonished, he had comprehended parts of the Withered Wood Dao, which is connected to the Wood Dao, thus naturally discerning the depths of Jiang Shu's move.

And this was evidently merely a casual response from Jiang Shu.

Even against Elder Soul Devourer who has stepped into the Vientiane Realm, his actions appeared so effortlessly tranquil, what kind of trump card does Jiang Shu possess?

Could it be that he truly intends to defy convention, challenging the Vientiane Realm from the Nirvana Realm?

Layers of Dragon Scales emerged upon him, an application of the Heavenly Rank Divine Skill, the Five Elements Chaotic Thunder Tribulation Dragon Transformation Technique.

While the Five Emperors Sky Extending Seal and the Five Emperors Annihilation Seal are more than adequate against some Nirvana Realm True Monarchs, now standing before Jiang Shu is a Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm.

Even with these two Divine Skills, they merely withstand one layer of the Big Hand's offensive.

Indeed, it was only for a brief moment before Elder Soul Devourer's spiritual power swept forward, rendering the Big Hand Seal incredibly solid, directly pressing against the Five Emperors Sky Extending Seal and the Five Emperors Annihilation Seal. At this juncture, layers of thunder flickered in the surrounding void, Jiang Shu's spine resonated like a dragon's roar, as he raised a single hand like a Dragon Claw to the sky, striking horizontally at Elder Soul Devourer's spiritual Big Hand seal.

"Boom!"

The entire Great Hall trembled, the True Monarch old monsters initially standing discovered themselves reeling back to the corners of the Hall, enveloped by Primordial Power and embryonic forms, protected by Treasures, and within mere moments, the battle was in full swing, its aftershocks alone rattling their cores.

Had they remained where they stood, they might easily incur further injuries.

"Ah, no wonder he dared venture here solo. While we are only in the Nirvana Realm, we might truly need to join forces to defeat you. But now..."

Elder Soul Devourer scoffed coldly, though the Heavenly Rank Divine Powers were formidable, yet they were merely such; at this juncture, he has comprehended an entire Great Dao, what Divine Skill can make waves under the Great Dao?

Compared to Divines, the Great Dao is like comparing Divines to mundane martial arts.

This is truly a crushing superiority!

Why can he suppress these Nirvana Realm old monsters into silence?

What he relies on is, naturally, the Soul Devouring Dao he has comprehended!

In the void, turbulent spiritual power surged like waves, the aura of the Great Dao pervaded the entire Great Hall, and the True Monarch old monsters hiding in the corners held their breath at this moment. Although the oppressive weights were not directed at them, the terror was palpable.

Before entering the Great Hall, Elder Soul Devourer had once unleashed his Soul Devouring Dao during the battle.

In just a single confrontation, the pressure seemingly was not weaker than that produced by the Great Demon Skeleton and Puppet Corpses, and were relentlessly swept away by the powerful Great Dao forces.

Even when somewhat diluted in the realm of the Great Dao, the Soul Devouring Dao still remains quintessential, transcending numerous Divine Skills!

This is why, upon entering the depths of the Great Hall, not to mention their injuries, even in their best states, they wouldn't necessarily dare to battle Elder Soul Devourer. The lethal impact of this pressure is simply too immense.

"I wonder if Jiang Shu possesses Daoist Rank Talismans or Dao Artifacts. Even with the battle prowess of the Nirvana Realm, it's unlikely to unleash the true potential of Talismans and Dao Artifacts, but certainly they could ensure his survival against Elder Soul Devourer. After all, the Soul Devouring Dao Elder Soul Devourer comprehends is not considered overwhelmingly strong, plus, with all of us True Monarch old monsters here, Elder Soul Devourer wouldn't dare overextend his hand. If he truly pursues Jiang Shu, he might lose the Inheritance."

"Considering the circumstances, the Inheritance is far more crucial than a single Jiang Shu."

The Heavenly Corpse True Monarch, although the oppressive aura from the void made his injury-restoration efforts more arduous, seemed more spirited, perceiving a shift within the combat scenario of Elder Soul Devourer and Jiang Shu.

He detected a thread of opportunity to seize the Inheritance!

If his speculation is correct, this Great Tomb should have been left by the Daoist Monarch Wan Hua.

Daoist Monarch Wan Hua had profound insights into Transformation Dao, Puppet Dao, Dao of Corpses, and other major Daos, reaching the Vientiane Realm Middle Stage! It's only a step away from the Late Stage!

The Great Demon Skeleton and Puppet Corpses encountered within the Great Tomb were all methods originating from Daoist Monarch Wan Hua.

If he obtained the Inheritance of Daoist Monarch Wan Hua, he might directly comprehend the Dao of Corpses through the Inheritance and promote to the Vientiane Realm!

Be it Transformation Dao or Puppet Dao or Dao of Corpses, all of them surpass the Soul Devouring Dao.

Thus, if he ascended to the Vientiane Realm, even if Elder Soul Devourer were to precede him, his strength as the Heavenly Corpse Daoist Monarch would surpass him!

Now, it hinges on how much skill Jiang Shu truly possesses!

The Heavenly Corpse True Monarch, feeling tense, like the other True Monarchs, albeit unlike the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch who might have pinpointed which Daoist Monarch laid the Great Tomb, harbored implicit assumptions showing the Inheritance here was of utmost significance.

At this juncture, reviving and re-cultivating, obtaining qualifications to enter the ruins, who wouldn't wish to advance to a higher realm?

Were it not for this, cultivating at the periphery of the ruins would suffice, the land holds abundant Crystal Stones infused with embryonic forms of the Great Dao, entirely unnecessary to venture into the inner circle under Elder Soul Devourer's suppression.

"Jiang Shu, I know you have shadow of Lord Zi Ji, but your Master is your Master, and you are your own. Today, this Daoist Monarch will suppress you here, and after reclaiming the Inheritance, capture you to our Demon Sect, letting your Master come to our sect to redeem you!"

Elder Soul Devourer laughed heartily, announcing beforehand that he wouldn't suppress Jiang Shu for several reasons: to prevent Jiang Shu from gambling his life by employing genuine life-saving explosive maneuvers which might injure Elder Soul Devourer, thereby affecting his acquisition of the Inheritance.

Another reason is hesitance toward Jiang Shu's mentor, Lord Zi Ji. Were Elder Soul Devourer alone, he would dare eliminate Jiang Shu.

The concern is his fellow True Monarch old monsters harbored personal agendas, and if news leaked out, despite his elevation to the Vientiane Realm, he'd only be able to take refuge in the Demon Sect.

Once out in the open, he risks being hunted by Lord Zi Ji.

Even the current Early Stage Vientiane Realm Elder Soul Devourer, when compared to the Late Stage, despite his comprehension of the Great Dao, is no match for Lord Zi Ji.

"A mere Soul Devouring Dao, and you wish to suppress me?"

"Living anew, fortunate enough to ascend to the Vientiane Realm, and you dare compare yourself to my Master?"

With the Soul Devouring Dao looming as an overwhelming pressure, descending mightily.

This monumental pressure could render some Nirvana Realm True Monarchs incapable of even employing Divine Skill for defense.

Yet, Jiang Shu responded with sheer disdain.

With his words, 365 acupoints within him vibrated, his entire being's vitality catastrophically surged, multiple embryonic forms assembled upon his fists.

How can a Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm pose any hindrance?

He came here intending to battle Daoist Monarchs of the Vientiane Realm!
