Chapter 1364 - 723: Ba Snake Demon Lord

If Jiang Shu becomes the Daoist Master of the Power Dao, among the Eight Great Sects, the one most affected will undeniably be the Dao Yi Sect.

The other sects will carry on as usual; it will even count as an overall increase in combat strength for the entire Human Clan.

But if Golden Horn succeeds, then most of the territory the Human Clan has just carved out will likely have to be handed back.

It might even be necessary to return all the lands of the Demon Domain, without exception.

When that happens, this protracted, ages-long war will have been utterly meaningless.

There is no need to doubt it: if a newly risen Demon Lord were to strike without regard for the cost, at least half of the Daoist Venerables here would fall.

In the clash just now, everyone saw it clearly: even with Jiang Shu’s terrifying progress, Golden Horn was still able to keep up, tangling and slaughtering with him!

"No matter what, we absolutely cannot allow Golden Horn to obtain the Ba Snake Demon Lord’s inheritance!"

The Heavenly Puppet Sect Leader spoke on the spot!

This isn’t just an inheritance of the Power Dao—if the Ba Snake Demon Lord left some method that lets Golden Horn rapidly advance...

The Human Clan could very well face a crisis.

"Indeed."

The Hidden Sword Sect Leader also nodded slightly in agreement.

"Then next, we must enter this Ba Snake Demon Lord’s Great Tomb and vie for that inheritance. Which Daoist friends are willing to go with me?"

Taiwu Daoist Venerable spoke with a solemn expression.

Yet he knew very well that Golden Horn was actually Jiang Shu’s avatar.

No matter how you look at it, this was just the left hand passing things to the right hand.

That Ba Snake inheritance was guaranteed to be theirs.

Only, this was something that absolutely could not be said aloud.

Besides, no matter what, an avatar is still an avatar; it is far less important than the true body obtaining the inheritance.

Everyone was rather tempted, but clearly, the White Tiger’s gold inheritance had also drawn quite a bit of attention from the Daoist Venerables, especially the Hidden Sword Sect Leader.

The Gold Dao and Sword Dao are inherently extremely similar; in fact, in various records, the latter is noted as having been derived from the former.

"If I can obtain the White Tiger’s Gold Dao inheritance, my path forward will be much broader."

The Daoist Venerables conferred with each other and decided to split their forces into two groups, heading to those two worlds to see if they could obtain the respective inheritances.

Even if they failed to obtain them...

They would have to make a move and destroy them!

As for the third world, which likely houses the Golden Crow inheritance, they didn’t even bring it up, because obviously, even if they did, Heavenly Empress Xi’e would absolutely never hand it over.

Since that’s the case, it’s better to go compete for the other two inheritances.

After all, those two inheritances are immensely tempting to them as well, with countless benefits!

Taiwu Daoist Venerable, Jiang Shu, Heaven Puppet Sect Master, Phecda Demon Venerable, and several other powerhouses traveled together, heading toward that Ba Snake Little World.

At this moment, the three Little Worlds had practically merged as one; after a swift rush for a short while, they saw the world fetal wall of this heaven and earth.

Taiwu Daoist Venerable and Jiang Shu took the lead, stepping into the Ba Snake World, and began using Space Shifting to traverse the barrier.

In just a short while, the group worked with considerable effort to pierce through a layer of white light membrane, stepping into this Ba Snake Little World.

"It’s really different."

Jiang Shu lifted his head.

Unlike the vibrant vitality he saw in the Golden Crow Small World, the Ba Snake Heaven and Earth before his eyes could be described as utterly desolate; there was no vegetation anywhere around, as if everything had long since been gnawed away and digested.

Jiang Shu, Taiwu Daoist Venerable, and the others strolled forward, advancing all the way. The surroundings were desolate and void of people, and just as they arrived at a barren mountain, Jiang Shu suddenly halted his steps.

"Sneaking around and hiding—what kind of trick is that? Get out here!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Jiang Shu stomped his foot down onto the ground.

Rumble!

Cracks in the earth spread out one after another, as though ravaged by some colossal force.

Now that they had entered the Ba Snake Little World, what surprised Jiang Shu somewhat was that the Five Declines Poison still existed.

Which meant it was still up to him to take action.

And in the span of a breath, the land suddenly split apart. A massive figure violently tore free from the ground below!

It was a giant serpent!

Its body already stretched for more than ten thousand meters, as thick as a sky-piercing colossal tree. Its blood-red eyes remained fixed on Jiang Shu, as if it were staring at some peerless delicacy.

"You want to eat me?"

Jiang Shu glanced back at the seniors behind him, then stomped his foot, his whole person like a calamity star rising straight from the ground, charging directly toward that giant beast.

"Sss!"

As if it saw its food come knocking on its own, the giant serpent was instantly overjoyed, suddenly opening its maw wide and biting straight toward him.

The two sides closed in rapidly, and just as Jiang Shu was about to drop into its mouth, he suddenly swung out his right fist.

Bam!

Jiang Shu’s movements reached the extreme of speed. In the blink of an eye, he suddenly grabbed hold of one of the giant serpent’s fangs.

"Rise!"

Jiang Shu let out a low shout, his five fingers clamping down with explosive force, forcibly gouging into that fang. Then, he unleashed his Power midair, violently hoisting the serpent up into the sky, before slamming it down toward the ground below!

Boom!

In an instant, the ground beneath them collapsed and sank downward, and the giant serpent was shaken nearly senseless by the terrifying force.

In the next moment, Jiang Shu stepped on the serpent’s head, pressed down slightly, and brutally stomped the giant snake into the dust.

Jiang Shu was just about to crush the serpent’s skull when a voice sounded from behind him.

"Please, stay your hand!"

The Beast Taming Sect Leader came gliding through the air, rubbing his hands slightly.

"Though this giant serpent is only at an ordinary Demon Venerable level, it still has some use. Here, it seems to be unaffected by the Five Declines Poison."
