Chapter 1209: 645: Suppress and Kill Jiang Shu! By Any Means Necessary—Life or Death Is Irrelevant!

This sound reverberated within the hall, sharp like countless half-melted guillotines scraping against each other, its scorching waves drilling into the depths of the Divine Soul Origin of every Demon Venerable present, making these formidable beings, usually capable of suppressing a Star Domain, feel uncontrollable chills seeping from their marrow, even causing their Protective Demon Gang to instinctively tremble slightly. The crimson lava sea violently churned, flames darker and more intense than lava being forcibly lifted by a powerful force. At the crest of the giant wave, a towering figure emerged stepping on fire.

Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s hair, red like fire, stood on end, resembling wild grass ignited by lightning.

His aged face etched with ancient demon patterns twisted in sheer fury, knotted muscles bulging beneath the skin, as if ready to tear through at any moment, bursting forth with heart-searing flames.

What was more eye-catching was the Protective Divine Light flowing ceaselessly around him, representing the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame Origin.

At this moment, the divine flame was no longer a gently flowing river of fire but rather like solar flares compressed and uncontrolled, roaring fiercely, scorching the sturdy spatial barriers of the Emperor Palace that were otherwise capable of withstanding star collisions.

The barrier emitted a teeth-aching "sizzle" sound, and the air was filled with a scorched odor that made one frown.

"Worthless!"

"A bunch of utter trash!"

Heaven-Burning Ancestor strode forward on the churning lava, each step carrying immense weight.

The lava beneath his feet wasn’t a gentle lift but violently crushed down, forming a bottomless whirlpool crater.

The entire floating palace suddenly sank, plummeting tens of feet down.

The lava sea consequently surged with furious waves, pounding against the palace’s base, splashing fire rain into the air.

"Golden Horn... not worth mourning!"

"The Emperor Palace’s millennia of effort driven into this frontline stronghold like a nail, removed in an instant by the Human Clan ants!"

"This hatred is hard to quell! A grave humiliation!!"

His gaze finally locked onto the core region within the hall, where several even more distant, abyssal presences lay.

Above the highest main seat of the Great Hall was a form constantly transforming, shrouded in mysterious purple aura.

Inside the purple aura, countless dragon shadows seemed to swim and slumber.

At this moment, a long, ancient bell-like sigh resonated from within, every syllable carrying the chill and absolute majesty accumulated over billions of years.

This sigh easily suppressed the scorching wrath surrounding Heaven-Burning.

"Heaven-Burning, calm yourself."

Dragon Venerable’s voice was unwaveringly flat but inherently possessed the power to freeze time and space, indisputably descending.

"Roaring is of no use."

On the other side, a vast Phoenix shadow bathed in splendid divine light slightly flapped its wings with Dragon Venerable’s voice.

Every tremble of its wings scattered golden-red feather illusions like billions of molten gold stars, illuminating the entire lava sea in gold and jade glory, as if it had momentarily plunged into the depths of a gold furnace.

"This child has already become a force."

Phoenix Venerable’s will was refined and clear, words forged like heated refined gold.

"The remaining Dao imprints in Split Stone City are chaotic, domineering, yet seamlessly harmonious."

"Especially, the Power of Space Law is nearly reaching a flawless, pure Realm, impossible for an ordinary novice of the Mixed Cave to achieve."

"There must be an earth-shattering secret on him that we have yet to decipher."

These two supreme wills’ voices were like two invisible Divine Mountains bearing down.

Even though Heaven-Burning’s fury was on the brink of eruption, in face of this absolute pressure and calm scrutiny, he had to forcibly retract the out-of-control blazing flames within.

The crimson flames became viscous, condensed, but the burning hatred deep within his eyes remained undiminished.

"Golden Horn charged with his Geng Metal Sharp Intent as a spear, fiercely striking the Core of Fist Power, but was instead crushed by his counter-palming strike, burning both form and soul!"

"Jiang Taixuan’s grasp even invoked a part of Heaven and Earth Primordial Power, forcibly melting everything into one furnace."

"This is not a method a newly ascended Daoist Venerable should possess—if this beast is allowed to grow further, he will be a calamity for our clan before the Ten Thousand Spirits Array is forged!"

Dragon Venerable’s vertical pupil shadow within the purple aura slowly opened a trace.

Wherever the gaze reached, the void slightly distorted, with the Laws and Order silently undergoing reformation.

"In just a few years, Jiang Shu has grown to this extent."

The voice paused for an extremely brief moment, carrying a rare trace of caution, as if weighing the movement of stars.

"In the core of the Desolate Sand Sea, the space fluctuations are chaotic, and the Ten Thousand Spirits Array Map shows hidden disturbances."

"When Split Stone City fell, a hint of Array Dao Will, influenced by the fall of the Golden Horn Demon Antelope, seeped out from there. Perhaps this could be used to glimpse Jiang Taixuan’s whereabouts."

His immense will turned towards the center of the Great Hall, where a shadow as dense as spilled ink continuously writhed.

That was the concealed origin of the Shadow Lizard Demon Monarch.

"Shadow Lizard, you’re in charge of the pursuit."

"Can we grasp Jiang Taixuan’s whereabouts through this trace of fluctuation?"

The dense shadow convulsed intensely, squeezing out a dry and tense echo akin to metal scraping from the Shadow Lizard Demon Monarch.

"Reporting to the Dragon Venerable, his aura seems to leap beyond the constraints of this world’s rules, leaving no trace of cause and effect at all."

"However, the matter of the Desolate Sand Sea has already been known by the upper echelons of the Human Clan. Given Jiang Taixuan’s character, he is bound to visit there, and perhaps we can use this opportunity to eliminate him."

The eyes of the Kunpeng Demon Venerable, resembling suns, opened and closed.

"Jiang Taixuan must die!"

"As long as he lives one more day, I cannot eat or sleep in peace!"

The chilling cold, like invisible ice needles, instantly pierced through the rage and mania previously enveloping the Emperor Palace, freezing in the heart of every Demon Venerable.

The most profound plot of the Emperor Palace seemed to be ruthlessly tearing apart a curtain of mystery.

Jiang Shu is terrifying.

He could injure a Dragon Clan avatar at the Daoist Monarch Realm and even escape from the Heaven-Burning Ancestor—an unimaginable feat.

Now he has achieved the position of Daoist Venerable and comprehended the Space Dao, so what level has his capability reached now?

The Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. With a sudden step forward, his ferocious aura pierced a bottomless pit into the viscous sea of lava underfoot, causing the magma to roll madly in all directions!

His voice lowered yet was more horrifying than a magma eruption.

"Leave it to me!"

"This villain’s life should be ended by my hands!"

"Not being able to completely melt him with one palm back then is the regret of my life!"

"Today, let him wail for ten thousand years under the light of the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice!"

He deeply bowed his crimson head towards the direction of the Dragon Venerable and Phoenix Venerable, surrounded by purple aura and sun disks.

"I implore the two Venerables to dispatch the Sinking Array to surround and kill this villain within the Sand Sea Array Hub."

"If I fail again this time, I willingly accept the punishment of the Emperor Palace’s Soul Burning Refinement!"

The dense shadow rapidly twisted and rolled, finally forming a lean, desolate silhouette, seemingly merged with the shadow.

The shrill voice of the Shadow Lizard Demon Monarch carried the sharp sound of metal rubbing.

"What the Lord Heaven-Burning said is absolutely right!"

In the depth of the Sand Sea Array Hub, the laws are chaotic, space solidified, with the Great Array instinctively defending. Only a team specialized in siege and combined attacks, capable of disregarding the harsh environment, can ensure absolute safety!"

"The coordination of the Four Fierce: Golden Roc, Ice Chi, Iron Rock, and Fire Flood Dragon can lock the void, immobilize the earth, sever mana, and burn the divine soul."

"If he truly dares to enter the core of the Array Hub, even a Daoist body forged of Ancient Divine Gold would be refined into a wisp of blue smoke on the Ten Thousand Spirits Altar!"

The magma sea fell into a brief dead silence. In the suspended hazy purple qi, the Dragon Eyes representing Supreme Will slowly closed, carrying a decision as if severing all retreat:

"Granted."

"Order Heaven-Burning to lead the Four Fierce of the Sinking Array immediately to the Desolate Sand Sea."

"Invoke the power of the Ten Thousand Spirits Array Hub Center, and nail Jiang Shu to the depths of the Great Array!"

"By any means necessary, life or death irrelevant!"
