Chapter 1368 - 725: Inheritance Obtained!

"There were some who’d rather die than bend, letting me devour them—hard-mouthed on the surface, but inside filled with fear."

"Those are the worst to eat. That fear seeps right into the flesh, just like that Flood Dragon from earlier—utterly foul."

"But you two can actually still hold on."

Looking at the Ba Snake Demon Lord’s remnant shadow and that mocking gaze.

Jiang Shu’s expression didn’t change. At this moment, he naturally wouldn’t say that his greatest trump card was the Two Realms Shuttle:

"Didn’t you say that as long as we inherit the True Inheritance, we can recover in an instant? Then what’s there to be afraid of?"

"Well said. To let you endure this isn’t something you can do by just gritting your teeth. If you can’t withstand the injuries and die, the end result for you is still just the word ’death’."

The Ba Snake Demon Lord’s remnant shadow laughed low, looking at the man and the dragon as if they were some peerless delicacies.

"Ah, if only I’d run into you two before I died, that would’ve been a proper feast."

"Cut the nonsense. Get on with it."

The Ancestor Dragon Bloodline in Golden Horn’s body was boiling, yet his voice remained ice-cold.

Just as the Ba Snake was about to continue devouring the Ancestor Dragon Bloodline in Golden Horn’s body, it suddenly froze, then swung its gaze toward Jiang Shu.

"Damn, don’t tell me it’s seen through something..."

Jiang Shu’s heart jolted abruptly.

What he feared most was this Ba Snake in front of him seeing through Golden Horn’s true identity.

Not only because once it saw through, with this Ba Snake Demon Lord remnant’s moody temperament, it might lash out on the spot.

But even more because, once Golden Horn’s identity was exposed, all his subsequent schemes would completely collapse.

The Demon Race would absolutely never pour resources into this body outside the body of his.

He only heard that Ba Snake suddenly let out a sneer, then spoke:

"The Ancestor Dragon Bloodline really is more delicious. Kid, you’re innately a bit weaker than him—watch out, or you’ll get overtaken."

Hearing this, Jiang Shu’s heart settled, his expression unchanged.

Just as he was about to say something, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the Void above.

"How amusing, how amusing. That bunch of arrogant old mud eels, always thinking the world revolves around them, actually got played dizzy by a brat like you!"

The voice resounded directly in Jiang Shu’s heart, transmitted through Great Dao Rhyme.

So it was still seen through... no, more like tasted through...

Waves surged in Jiang Shu’s heart, but he forcibly suppressed the tremors within.

"Senior?"

"Stop playing dumb, kid. I’m not so blind that I can’t see it. Your disguise is decent enough. No need to worry I’ll spread it around."

The Ba Snake continued to transmit secretly:

"Back when I attained the Dao, I devoured no small number of the Dragon Clan. Although we made peace later, it was nothing more than mutual exploitation."

The Ba Snake kept eating while talking and laughing nonstop.

A faintly bizarre feeling rose in Jiang Shu’s heart.

"Relax. If you can get through this, I won’t leak a word. If you can’t, I don’t mind having a bit of comedy after the meal."

"Then, Senior, please wait and see."

Jiang Shu clenched his teeth hard and continued enduring.

At this moment, both the Human Clan and the Demon Race were on edge.

In that Trial Arena, whether Jiang Shu or Golden Horn, both of them now were only bare skeletons.

Yet all around them spread a strange aura of the Great Dao.

It forcibly kept the lives of this man and this dragon hanging on.

"Damn it, that Jiang Taixuan can still hold on?"

Staring at Jiang Shu in the arena, Ao Qing gnashed his teeth, wishing he could directly intervene.

However, Ao Qing simply could not.

Not to mention whether he had the Power to shake a Heaven and Earth Secret Realm laid down with the last Power of a Demon Lord—in the first place, even if he risked his life and used his trump cards, it would very likely affect Golden Horn.

If that happened, the hope of the Dragon Clan would be shattered.

"You must endure. Don’t let me down!"

Such were Ao Qing’s thoughts.

On the Human Clan’s side, Taiwu Daoist Venerable stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep as if piercing ages.

He remained as steady as Mount Tai, naturally understanding that there was no order to passing this trial. It all came down to whether Jiang Shu could withstand it.

"This kid’s temperament is hard as iron; he’ll never give up easily."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable was composed, but beside him the Heavenly Puppet Sect Leader was burning with anxiety.

"You must hold on..."

In the current situation, although the Human Clan had invaded the Demon Domain, the suppression of Heaven and Earth left them with little follow-through.

The Demon Race, because of various schemes, had likewise not fully concentrated all their Power.

Right now, the two sides maintained a fragile dynamic balance.

From past war experience, this kind of stalemate could last for hundreds of years.

But once either side birthed a new Demon Lord, relying on that crushing gap in battle strength and a temporary immunity to the erosion of the Great Dao, the flow of the battlefield could be decided at once.

And now, with a Demon Lord’s Inheritance at hand, everything had become possible.

At this moment, the Daoist Venerables and Demon Venerables present stared fixedly at this scene that might soon change the entire battlefield pattern.

Time once more crept forward. The Ba Snake even slowed its devouring, as if deliberately tormenting both sides.

Yet whether Golden Horn or Jiang Shu, neither let out a single cry of pain.

After a long while, the Ba Snake closed its maw.

"Sigh, truly unexpected..."

A voice full of emotion suddenly echoed, rippling in the ears of both the Human Clan and the Demon Race.

This instantly drew the attention of all the experts present.

"Whether it’s our race’s prodigy or the Human Clan’s Jiang Shu, both have been eaten down to bare bone."
