Chapter 1394 - 738: Demon Lord’s Schemes

This strike is overwhelmingly powerful, as if it’s enveloping the heavens and earth.

Accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, its ferocity is formidable, giving an unavoidable feeling.

But in the next instant, Jiang Shu and others vanished, jumping to another location.

The strike landed on the ground, causing the earth to shake, and even the Golden Crow Small World seemed unstable, with inch-long cracks appearing.

Jiang Shu and others appeared a thousand miles away.

Seeing the center of the explosion’s force, their pupils shrank, sensing a hint of trouble.

Trouble!

Absolutely big trouble!

In an instant, Heaven-Burning Ancestor immediately turned his gaze, staring fiercely at Jiang Shu and the other strong ones.

This mad half-step Demon Lord almost instantly.

Detected the location of Jiang Shu and the other Human Race Venerable’s space jump.

Without any hesitation, Heaven-Burning Ancestor roared forward again, intending to directly kill these strong ones.

He struck, and countless red feathers fell from the sky. Each feather rapidly expanded in the sky, like heavenly pillars, inserting into the ground, connecting as one, and triggering the fire of destruction.

The flames quickly expanded, covering thousands of miles.

Heaven-Burning Ancestor, though losing his reason, at this moment, is fully striking, covering tens of thousands of miles.

At the same time, he vaguely invoked the Fire Dao Rhyme here, causing the strong ones present to feel suffocated.

"Charge!"

Jiang Shu shouted lowly, striking with all his might, unleashing the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe.

Not only that, all the Daoist Venerable Sect Leader strong ones beside him also gave their all, forcefully creating a breach in the sea of fire.

"It seems the Human Clan on that side is in big trouble."

Ao Qing stood within the Ten Thousand Demons Formation, gazing at the battlefield, and suddenly frowned.

For some reason, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Isn’t it a good thing that those damned Humans are in big trouble? In the end, Heaven-Burning Ancestor will kill them here, becoming the outcome of the Immortal Embryo brewing."

Long-armed Ape Venerable sat cross-legged, speaking viciously.

"That might not be the case."

Kunpeng Demon Venerable hovered at the top of the Ten Thousand Demons Formation, gazing afar at the battlefield, saying: "For some reason, I also have a strange feeling."

"After Heaven-Burning Ancestor kills these Humans, is there truly no issue?"

"If they die, they die. We have the protection of the Demon Lord."

"They also have methods given by their Daoist Master of their own sects."

...

All the Demon Venerables present spoke, choosing to remain indifferent.

Currently, Heaven-Burning Ancestor is irrational; if they act, they will only suffer Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s attack.

Better let the Human Clan take the fall.

Meanwhile, among the demons, Golden Horn squinted his eyes, gazing at the distant battlefield, his expression somewhat solemn.

"The current Heaven-Burning Ancestor is not like he used to be, it’s dangerous."

"What should be done?"

Golden Horn kept pondering, if Jiang Shu himself encountered trouble, his identity would inevitably be exposed.

Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed beside his ear.

"Boy, what’s the matter, worried about your true self?"

The sound startled Golden Horn, but he quickly reacted, realizing it was the residual soul of Ba Snake Demon Lord entwined within him.

During the acquisition of inheritance, Ba Snake Demon Lord nearly devoured both Golden Horn and his true self Jiang Shu completely.

The surprising result was that Ba Snake neither pierced him directly but instead attached itself to him, even actively helping him disguise.

"Of course."

Golden Horn responded calmly, with a wisp of thought hidden deep within his divine soul.

"The Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s current cultivation is likely the result of someone tampering."

Ba Snake’s voice chuckled, as a Demon Lord, his perspective naturally far surpassed those Demon Venerables, having seen through the Demon Lord’s methods:

"Heh, did you know, once on the battlefield, a Fire Dao Daoist Master from the Golden Crow Clan perished here."

"Of course I know."

Golden Horn immediately responded.

Upon arriving here, he promptly received the complete information from the Dragon Clan about the Heavenly Court Ruins, thoroughly detailed.

And the Dragon Clan schemed that Immortal Embryo for countless ages; records in this aspect would naturally not be distorted.

"That Fire Dao Daoist Master was named Di Yang, the Vice Monarch of the Heavenly Court, and the biological brother of the Heavenly Court’s master."

"Back then, Di Yang was the first Daoist Master to fall, dying from the siege of numerous strong ones, perishing in this world."

"Do you know one thing, once we reach this realm, dying of old age means complete assimilation by Heavenly Dao, which is absolutely fatal unless using the so-called Immortal Embryo, the true self will certainly fall, though some demonic parts might remain, it definitely cannot exhibit Demon Lord level combat strength."

"What do you mean?"

Golden Horn felt confused, not understanding why Ba Snake was telling him this.

"Next comes the key point, in a sense, only a Demon Lord killed by others has room to leave behind a last resort."

"Because being killed, the trend of assimilating with the true self halts abruptly, or would proceed very slowly."

Ba Snake Demon Venerable narrated some esoteric matters only known to Demon Lords:

"I, Xi’e, and that White Tiger all left bodies and laid plans for future generations due to being killed and perishing."

"Guess whether Di Yang left behind his own last resort."

"His own last resort?"

Golden Horn felt some doubt inside, wondering how he could know what kind of last resort a Demon Lord might leave before dying?

Just as he was pondering, suddenly his eyes trembled, abruptly recalling the lingering doubt his true self transmitted earlier.
