Chapter 1366 - 724: Struggle for the Great Dao

Even a deceased Demon Lord should never be underestimated.

Upon hearing the command of this entity, the many powerful beings present immediately subdued their auras, no longer prepared to engage.

"That’s more like it..."

Ba Snake slowly crouched down, gazing at those human cultivators, a glint in its eyes:

"Interesting, I have never left the Demon Domain, rarely seen human cultivators."

"I wonder if you desire to obtain my inheritance?"

Inheritance??

Upon hearing this, even though Jiang Shu and others had originally come for the inheritance, they were still momentarily taken aback.

It seemed that this remnant of the Demon Lord intended to transfer its inheritance to the human clan.

"This should be the remnant of the Ba Snake Demon Lord from long ago, and it’s actually asking us if we want to inherit the inheritance."

"It might be harboring ill intentions. Otherwise, why would the Demon Race hand over its inheritance to us?"

"Exactly, if something seems off, we’ll leave immediately."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable, the Dao Yi Sect Leader, and several other great sect leaders exchanged glances, with a determination forming in their hearts.

Of course, they did not leave immediately.

After all, the original form of this Ba Snake remnant was the Demon Lord of Power Dao. Among the Three Thousand Great Dao, the Power Dao was not weak.

It could even single-handedly create worlds with just the Power Dao.

If Jiang Shu could obtain the inheritance of the Power Dao, coupled with his own talent, his path would be truly smooth.

Even if he did not wish to enter the Realm of Daoist Lord, with the Power Dao, his attainment in the Dao would not be inferior to that of the sect leaders.

"Senior, if we wish to attempt to inherit the true inheritance, what price must we pay?"

Jiang Shu stepped forward and asked, cupping his hands.

"Simple..."

The Ba Snake remnant gave Jiang Shu a slight glance, its body slightly coiling like a vast mountain that blocked the sky.

It also glanced at the surrounding demon race and said:

"I am merely a remnant, without a physical body. The condition to inherit the true inheritance is simple: experience the feeling of being devoured by me."

"If you can endure, then you can inherit the true inheritance and remain unharmed. But if you can’t, then the devouring becomes real."

As the words fell, the Ba Snake remnant seemed to unashamedly lick its lips and said:

"I have not seen fresh beings for a long time, apart from those generated from my own flesh and blood. I wonder how wonderful your taste might be."

Experience being swallowed!?

The many strong humans exchanged glances, their expressions strange.

No one expected that this would be the test.

Jiang Shu cast a deep look at Ao Qing and Golden Horn in the distance, immediately discerning truth or falsehood through the subtle expressions of his avatar.

It was true!

At least, this was what the Ba Snake remnant conveyed to the Demon Race as well.

But whether it’s ultimately true or false, it’s hard to say.

Jiang Shu quietly retreated behind Taiwu Daoist Venerable, then used stealth techniques to communicate.

"Daoist Venerable, I am confident that the condition heard by the Demon Race should also be this."

"Oh?"

Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts deep in ponder.

Undoubtedly!

A true inheritance from the end of the Great Dao was undeniably precious.

While obtaining the true inheritance does not guarantee entry to the end of the Great Dao,

it still provides significant help for cultivators on the same path.

Once, Jiang Shu devoured a Dragon Horn of a True Dragon from the Power Daoist Master and could vaguely comprehend the Time Dao, grasping the basics.

Then what value would a genuine inheritance from a Daoist Master hold?

For a while, both the human and demon races were enveloped in silence.

The Ba Snake remnant seemed to grow a bit impatient, speaking:

"Hurry up. Although my remnant can sustain itself for quite some time, whoever obtains the most core part of the true inheritance first, others may not get it!"

After a long while, Ao Qing’s gaze shifted slightly, then he looked at a nearby Demon Venerable.

"Sea Abyss Demon Venerable, go and give it a try!"

"Me?"

The one named was a Flood Dragon Demon Venerable.

His cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of Mixed Cave, not far from the Late Stage.

However, at that moment, Sea Abyss Demon Venerable’s face turned particularly grim.

He was a Flood Dragon, indeed, with True Dragon Blood!

But to the Dragon Clan, unless one is a True Dragon, they’re only a vassal!

The dragon’s nature is lascivious, and it has numerous descendants throughout the whole Demon Domain.

Dragon Fish, Dragon Turtle, Dragon Horse, etc., are all descendants of the Dragon Clan.

Yet, do the True Dragons ever regard them as kin?

They are merely vassals or even food for the Dragon Clan.

Unless they completely rid themselves of mixed blood and become a genuine True Dragon.

But even then, within the Dragon Clan, this kind of acquired True Dragon is considered inferior to the born True Dragons.

Not to mention Golden Horn?

Golden Horn itself is a born True Dragon, and furthermore, it possesses Ancestor Dragon’s True Blood, holding a very high status within the Dragon Clan.

"Are you unwilling to contribute to the Dragon Clan?"

Ao Qing’s eyes showed a hint of coldness.

"Yes."

At this point, Sea Abyss could only nod, forcing himself to move step by step toward the Ba Snake.

"I am willing to accept your inheritance."

"I thought it was that little dragon with Ancestor Dragon’s Blood coming up, but it turns out to be a hybrid. If you truly gain the inheritance, it might have to be forcibly surrendered."

The Ba Snake chuckled, seeming unconcerned.

"Reveal your true form."

"Yes."

With a shake of his body, Sea Abyss transformed from a half-human, half-dragon form into a Flood Dragon appearance, a thousand feet long, covered in blue scales, ferocious and majestic.
