Chapter 1255: 668: Dragon Transformation! Starfall Abyss! (2)

"Come on, resources? What do you think the frontlines are like? You can naturally have ordinary resources at your disposal, but once the resources are abundant, won’t the other Demon Races come to snatch them? Won’t the patrol teams come to search? The frontlines are not so easy to access. But compared to the frontlines, I happen to know an even worse place now; if everyone hears about it, they’d better steer clear.""Starfall Abyss?"

"Yes, indeed. Just a month ago, a junior from our clan had just advanced to the Transformation Realm and was conscripted to Starfall Abyss. Everyone initially thought it might be an opportunity, but unexpectedly, after just a few days, the Soul Fire within the clan was extinguished."

A Turtle Demon with a slender voice shrank its neck and said mysteriously.

"Starfall Abyss?"

"Isn’t that the secret place jointly managed by the major Ancient Clans? Isn’t it usually a land of opportunity, teeming with Demon Energy, where a day of cultivation there equals a hundred days outside? How has it become like this now?"

The gray wolf’s eyes flashed.

"Who knows!"

The Turtle Demon shivered a bit.

"But I’ve heard from hearsay, it’s said to be an order from the Emperor Palace. They want to cultivate the geniuses of various clans in Starfall Abyss and raise them to be more invincible in the same realm than Jiang Taixuan."

His voice was extremely low, carrying a kind of primal fear.

A few old demons nearby fell silent.

Though they all resided deep within the Demon Domain,

Jiang Shu’s notorious reputation prevailed. Even the Emperor Palace repeatedly took action to block the news of Jiang Shu’s feats, but couldn’t stop his formidable and ferocious image in the hearts of these old demons.

By the window sat Jiang Shu, under the alias "Golden Horn," holding an exquisite Bone Cup, the Hundred-year-old Monkey Wine inside already drained.

He looked indifferent as if an Azure Dragon overlooking ants on a stone wall, paying no heed to the resentful and fearful whispers downstairs.

Only when the name "Jiang Taixuan" was mentioned did a barely noticeable ripple pass through the depths of his deep golden Dragon Eyes.

"Pfft!"

A brazen sneer came from the neighboring table.

Seated there were several Eagles Demons with dark golden wings and arrogant faces.

The leading Red Feathered Eagle Demon glanced sideways at the discussing demon crowd below, his voice not loud but distinctly resonating on the second floor.

"Jiang Taixuan, just a moment’s glory,"

"This time, the gathering of geniuses from various clans at Starfall Abyss, personally selected and promoted by several Demon Venerables, devoted with supreme resources from the Emperor Palace. The leader wouldn’t just rival Jiang Taixuan, but might even surpass him!"

"As members of the Demon Race, not considering the Demon Race, but instead cowardly safeguarding their lives; no wonder their bloodline is so inferior!"

"Ancestor like this, descendant likewise!"

The Red Feathered Eagle Demon’s words carried a lofty overlook, with a deeply ingrained sense of racial superiority. Though he didn’t emanate Dao Yun, his aura had already reached the Peak Transformation Realm, pressuring those below into trembling.

In the entire scene, only Jiang Shu remained unconcerned.

He didn’t even cast a glance that way, seemingly indifferent to the spectacle before him.

This information further corroborated the authenticity of Xuan Chi’s confession.

Starfall Abyss is not only an array hub node but also a place where the Demon Race focuses resources to nurture geniuses.

The Dragon Clan "Golden Horn" he replaces was actually on the list heading to Starfall Abyss.

This indeed presented an opportunity.

The Demon Race wants to cultivate geniuses in Starfall Abyss; the resources within must be abundant.

If he could enter...

Though exceedingly dangerous, he possesses the ability of Two Realms Shuttle.

At worst, he could just return directly to the Star Ruins Realm.

Jiang Shu put down the Bone Cup, left a few Demon Crystals, and his tall figure departed as the dark golden luxurious scale robe shimmered with restrained brilliance in the dim light.

Dragon Might naturally diffused, thickening the air on the second floor.

The Red Feathered Eagle Demon was about to rise to make a greeting, to establish contact with Jiang Shu.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shu merely passed by, seemingly never having cared.

In an instant, a trace of anger flashed across the Red Feathered Eagle Demon’s face; he had just felt a bit proud.

Little did he expect a dragon to pass in front of him unnoticed.

His bloodline was indeed noble, but in the presence of a Dragon Clan, what did it count for?

Anger swirled in his eyes, but ultimately he didn’t dare say anything.

The pressure from the pure blood Dragon Clan identity and the profound Dragon Might was something he couldn’t resist at his Transformation Realm.

Unless...unless he could advance to Demon Monarch!

This time at Starfall Abyss, if only he could...

He gritted his teeth harshly in his heart.

Jiang Shu didn’t care what the Red Feathered Eagle Demon was thinking.

To him, collecting basic Demon Race intelligence was already sufficient.

His figure spun a few times before disappearing into the Void, reappearing deep in the Demon Domain.

The air here was increasingly stagnant.

The sky always seemed like it was covered with thick lead-gray haze, the countless stars above dim, with only the deep cracks on the ground sporadically surging with crimson lava, outlining the sinister contours of the desolate land.

The Starfall Abyss had arrived.

This was a gigantic chasm-like terrain seemingly blasted out by falling ancient stars, with no end in sight.

The terrain descended sharply from the periphery like a huge sinister wound on the earth, extending downwards.

The canyon walls on both sides showed eerie dark purple and deep black colors, covered with mirror-smooth molten surfaces and violently shattered structures.

Countless pits of varying sizes and shapes scattered within, reminiscent of sores on a giant beast’s body. The pit bottoms were pitch black, emanating gravitational fields that devoured light and a spine-chilling sense of spatial distortion.

In the air, fierce fragments of space turbulence and fine dust floated, forming lethal invisible blades, occasionally cutting the cliff walls, leaving hissing deep grooves.

This was the graveyard of countless stars or foreign objects; the chaotic energy and Space Dao Principles left behind were like an invisible meat grinder, devouring anything not strong enough.

At the abyss entrance, rugged steel or stone fortresses with intense tribal features were embedded on the cliffs, like massive rivets, firmly nailed on the edge of this chaotic place.

These fortresses served as both outposts and temporary portals to various clans here.

"Password!"

Jiang Shu was discovered the moment he appeared at Starfall Abyss, with a line spoken.

Jiang Shu remained composed, casually saying: "I don’t know the password, but I have a credential."

The so-called password was merely a trap; every demon clan genius entering Starfall Abyss had a mark engraved in their Sea of Consciousness.

Relying on his understanding of the soul, Jiang Shu had long completed this step.

As Jiang Shu entered the exclusive Dragon Clan fortress area with pure dragon aura and the credential extracted from the captive Divine Soul, a figure was already waiting there.

These weren’t mere guards but two Dragon Clan youths clad in light armor featuring ancient dragon patterns, with steady breath and sharp eyes.

They both had Demon Monarch Early Stage strength, agile figures, and dragon horns on their foreheads, albeit less flamboyant than Jiang Shu’s Transformation into Golden Horn, yet exhibiting a more compact and inherent quality.

"Golden Horn?"

The lead Dragon Clan youth spoke, his voice clear and imbued with a dignified dragon roar.

"My name is Ao Hai, received transmission from the clan, knowing you’ve arrived at the frontlines. Welcome to the abyss."

He was straightforward, without unnecessary courtesy, scanning Jiang Shu with eyes carrying assessment, mingled with the complex emotions of natural kinship and vigilance among the same clan.

Dragon Clan was proud, but didn’t shy from expressing recognition for truly worthy clan members.

"Pleasure to meet you, Brother Ao Hai."

Jiang Shu nodded, imitating the customary arrogance and poise of the Dragon Clan captive from his memories.

His disguise, shaped by Creation Dao and simulated by Soul Great Dao, had long penetrated to the bone, blending into his gestures, even the slightest dragon aura fluctuations displaying seamless perfection.

"Follow me, many from other clans have also arrived and are at the Starfall Platform."
