The shriek from the Golden Roc Demon Venerable, filled with a soul-tearing, origin-ripping resolve, drowned out the lamentations of all the wastewater at Thousand Streams Creek and the suppressed agony roar of the Ice Chi. Chichi!
The magnificent and sharp golden feathers around the Golden Roc Demon Venerable’s body stood on end.
As if billions of fine golden needles were ignited by an invisible force.
There was no radiant brilliance to burst forth, only a heart-palpitating, pure Geng Metal Dao forcibly extracted and burned, emitting a piercing sound!
This was not mere demonic power activation, but a mad sacrifice using the Dao Origin as firewood and Life Essence as the igniter!
"Golden Roc, are you mad?!"
The Ice Chi’s ice-blue vertical pupils widened in terror, and the giant mouth, recently spitting blood from the shockwave of the Array Hub, let out a distorted hiss, recognizing this forbidden, desperate Forbidden Technique.
This was a lethal move that would cause Jiang Shu’s Dao Foundation to crumble, Cultivation to plummet, and might even lead directly to his downfall!
Jiang Shu was about to immerse wholly into the unstable spatial fissure forcefully opened by the Shui Huan Gloves.
The sudden eruption of danger behind him made the World Tree Seedling within his Mixed Cave Space sway violently, sending unprecedented alarms!
It was an intent of complete annihilation, seeking mutual destruction.
An extreme sharpness capable of penetrating spatial barriers locked onto his back!
He didn’t even have time to fully turn around.
Golden Roc’s figure, at the moment of using the Forbidden Technique, had already transformed into a pure golden line!
No, it wasn’t light; it was more like a "piercing" that disregarded all obstacles and concepts!
This was an attack launched by Golden Roc igniting Geng Metal Dao and Precision Dao, carrying even the concept of "Guaranteed Hit."
Space before his burning Dao was as fragile as paper.
Jiang Shu’s pupils rapidly contracted, squeezing out all remaining Primordial Power stored in the Mixed Cave Space, together with the Chaotic Pure Light bursting from the World Tree Seedling, and the residual power from the Desolate Dao that devoured the surrounding scattered demonic power, placed layer upon layer behind him.
A vortex formed from devouring! Taichu’s hazy airflow! A folded-space barrier!
Lastly, the thin yet resilient World Tree protection wrapped around him!
Chi—poof!
The golden line that condensed all of Golden Roc’s lifelong Dao Practice, burning Dao and life, easily tore through the layered protection.
Taichu’s haze pierced through by Geng Metal’s sharpness.
The spatial folds silently melted like thin ice under a hot knife.
The devouring vortex forcibly penetrated, only absorbing a negligible fragment of the burning Dao.
Even the protective green glow emitted by the World Tree Seedling had a needle-sized hole bored through by this deadly strike!
The golden line ultimately nailed into the gap between Jiang Shu’s left shoulder blade and spine!
"Ungh!"
Jiang Shu’s figure trembled violently, hot blood he could no longer suppress spewed from the corner of his mouth, blood droplets scratching stark lines in the murky air.
The left half of his body instantly lost most sensation, a force containing the extreme Geng Metal sharpness and the Power of Silence, along with the indelible curse marked by Golden Roc before dying, burrowed into the pierced wound like maggots, crazily infiltrating his bone marrow, corroding his Dao Meridian!
Agony surged like a tsunami upon his Divine Soul.
Even more terrifying, the fearsome impact carried by this deadly strike forcibly interrupted his momentum to flee into the spatial fissure!
He staggered backward half a step, his figure stabilized in the chaotic spatial ripples, becoming clear, and the pair of eyes, calm as ancient wells, finally surfaced with an uncontrollable blood streak.
It was due to this half-step delay!
"Boom!"
Above Thousand Streams Creek, the already shattered heavens due to the Array Hub detonation, seemed torn ruthlessly asunder by an invisible flame giant claw.
Space moaned in unbearable strain, and the entire Thousand Streams Creek suddenly sank downward.
The murky black water instantly evaporated into thick white smoke like substance, the distorted canyon rock walls directly liquefying under invisible high heat, flowing toward the ground.
A figure covered entirely with molten, fiery red Scale Armor, with wings like drooping sky clouds, descended arrogantly amidst the lava flood formed by melted space!
Heaven-Burning Ancestor!
On his massive head, the pair of red-golden vertical pupils, like two suns suddenly lowered, instantly locked onto the staggering, blood-coughing, aura-disordered green robed figure below.
The rage boiling in those eyes almost overflowed, mixed with a trace of the wild joy and cruelty of seeing prey.
"Little bastard, let’s see where you run this time!"
Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s voice was like red-hot mysterious iron rubbing together, each word carried the scorching heat and explosive sound of lava eruption.
He even disdained to glance at the nearby Golden Roc, already gasping for breath, its feathers withering due to backlash, its demon body hunched and falling from the air, nor the Ice Chi, perched in the foul water, its aura languishing and terrified.
His eyes were solely on Jiang Shu!
Jiang Shu’s mind, under the agony and external pressure, instead entered a nearly icy clarity.
The wound on his back felt like a glowing iron continually stabbing in, the Mixed Cave Space slightly trembling due to the sudden power drain, and the World Tree Seedling’s glow had dimmed considerably.
Resist?
He feared even a single face-off wouldn’t endure.
The Heaven-Burning Ancestor was unlike the Four Fierce Array; he was genuinely standing at the Demon Venerable Late Stage, mastering the Heaven-Burning Flame, with speed in flame’s leap and penetration reaching an unbelievable Realm.
A moment ago, had he not exploited the space chaos and information discrepancy caused by the Array Hub explosion and Golden Roc’s desperate attempt, he wouldn’t have had the chance to escape here at all.
