Free Web NovelChapter 1133: Chapter 608: Danger and Opportunity! Escape! (Part 2)
Once Jiang Shu is caught up, teleportation will inevitably be interrupted.
One chases, one flees!
One side is a powerful presence, with an aura as immense as a mountain collapsing, with laws thundering in its movement.
The other side is as insignificant as a firefly, yet frantically burning itself to gain a glimmer of hope, a desperate figure maneuvering with the Space Path.
Under the oppressive iron-gray firmament, upon the shattered and silent earth, a life-and-death race unfolds!
Boom!
The Broken Spear, enveloped in annihilating black light, crashes onto the afterimage where Jiang Shu had just vanished.
Space groans under the unbearable burden, the Crystal Stone ground shatters like fragile glass, forming a bottomless black pit, with ominous black fluid flowing around its edges.
Several miles away, behind a fractured gigantic rib bone, Jiang Shu’s staggering figure emerges, a sweetness at the back of his throat, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprays out, with tiny silver specks within the blood mist.
That’s the Origin that disperses from the burning Tao Fire.
Each time he pushes the Heart of Space to teleport at the limit, it’s like branding hot iron onto his Divine Soul and meridians, with intense tearing pain and rapid loss of foundation, a pain that cuts to the heart.
Worse still, the Annihilation Dao Rhyme from the Broken Spear entrenched in his body is like a living thing eroding his vitality, forming a tug-of-war with the burning Tao Fire, each time bringing deeper scorching pain and weakness.
"Roar!"
The ancient image lets out a roar that shatters mountains and rivers, its blood-red eyes fixed on Jiang Shu’s direction.
The small yet tenacious figure of Jiang Shu, repeatedly hurting it and constantly fleeing, has completely ignited the most primal anger since its Spiritual Wisdom awakened, like a giant beast stung repeatedly by a bug.
The icy killing intent crosses chaotic space, a tangible shackle pressing heavily on Jiang Shu’s shoulders.
Its enormous body is no longer the clumsy moving mountain.
The giant foot suddenly stomps down, and the twisted space beneath it cracks and collapses as if responding to its stomp.
It’s not simply running; it’s moving like a cannonball, with terrifying explosive power inconsistent with its size, crossing dozens of yards in an instant.
The Broken Spear is held horizontally, its tip pointing forward, with chaotic Law Fragments and pervasive resentment in its path, forcibly sucked like encountering a Black Hole, then solidifying to form a sticky, ink-like Annihilation Domain.
Within the domain, the space seems cast into pitch-black lead blocks, even the distant blood-red crystal dust instantly freezes.
A vast, irresistible sealing power spreads, frantically compressing the law’s activity in this area.
Jiang Shu’s pupils contract sharply.
The Heart of Space’s fierce warning nearly pierces his Sea of Consciousness, he cannot linger any longer.
The fractured bone beneath trembles slightly, Space Power surges forcibly again.
Just as the ink-like mire of the Annihilation Domain is about to touch his boot tip, his figure shatters like a reflection in water, disappearing in an instant.
"Slash!"
He didn’t reappear precisely elsewhere as before, but was instead forcibly ripped out by space, tumbling awkwardly at the edge of a huge cracked canyon several hundred meters to the left-front of the image.
Upon landing, he even hears a tiny yet clear snapping sound from deep within his body, the backlash from over-exerting Space Law, making it feel as if his bones are groaning.
He clutches his chest, another violent cough, with blood seeping through his fingers, carrying a scorching silver glow.
The image misses its strike, the crimson flames in its eyes flickering even more horridly upon seeing Jiang Shu’s battered position.
It doesn’t even turn to face that direction, merely its massive head swivels abruptly, locking onto its new target several hundred yards away.
It’s as if spatial distance is merely an ignored scale in its perception.
Its scarred bronze armor emits a dull friction sound as it raises its foot again, intuitively feeling "Guaranteed Hit" as it steps towards Jiang Shu.
Boom!
Another ground-shaking impact, the speed so fast that a transient afterimage remains at the original spot.
Jiang Shu feels like he’s not fighting a giant statue, but confronting a precision-guided meteorite equipped with Space Seal.
Guided by countless life-and-death battles honed instincts, he forcibly tears space to evade the moment he senses the opponent’s activation.
Each teleport accompanied by soul-tearing pain and mouthfuls of Origin blood, each time slipping past the brink of death narrowly.
The battle evolves into the cruelest consumption and chase.
Jiang Shu transforms into a grey ghost, flickering within broken space, body stained with blood.
He uses the giant skull’s eye sockets for leverage, dashes dangerously over boiling dark red lava rivers, and weaves through the edges of numerous swirling space rift storms.
The chasing image is like a tireless Primordial Fierce Beast focused solely on locking its prey.
Its movements grow more efficient, no longer merely a power outpour.
The spear strikes at cunning, aggressive angles, constraining escape routes; giant foot impacts trigger broader shockwave areas, preemptively detonating space traps, surrounding Annihilation Domain sometimes contracts to cut through void, sometimes spreads to destabilize teleportation.
Its capacity to solidify and control space evolves rapidly in combat!
Its eye’s brilliance intensifies, sparkling with the light of wisdom.
In its living era, it was a young king radiating intense brilliance, dominating its age; now, even if it’s deceased for endless years, with only an image left, it’s still an unrivaled existence.
Its battle experience awakens, wanting to kill this detestable little bug in front.
"This can’t go on, I can only traverse back to the Demon Domain."
"The Demon Domain is still too dangerous, returning as I am now may not be safe."
Once more, Jiang Shu emerges stumbling from a space rift, falling onto relatively flat, yet bizarre rune-covered black Crystal Stone ground visible from eye view.
He kneels on one knee, panting heavily, his vision blurring due to blood loss and Soul Power depletion.
If he weren’t strong enough, at the pinnacle within the Tenth Realm’s Realm.
He wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressures of the Venerable Level influence.
Yet fighting up to now, he already experiences the feeling of running out of fuel.
After all, he still hasn’t officially ascended to Venerable yet!
Moreover, it’s crucial that each teleport requires the Heart of Space to pinpoint weak points in space, where Law Conflict is most fierce, and structure most unstable, akin to a lockhole for teleportation.
But now, the Heart of Space signals an unprecedented anomaly.
Mind sinking into the Heart of Space, the silver gemstone flashes urgently, not as a dangerous alarm, but with a complex info stream of ineffable excitement and exploration.
With concentrated perception, Jiang Shu’s expression shifts drastically.
It’s not the decrease of weak points, but the entire space structure of the Ancient Battlefield, like a resilient beast skin rapidly eroded by invisible forces from within, becoming decayed.
The "walls" of space have thinned!
Previously, fragile space points were akin to weak holes in leather, needing a precise awl to puncture.
Now, the whole space itself becomes rotten and pliable.
Jiang Shu even feels there’s no need to deliberately seek weak "points," merely focusing bodily Power and charging forward would suffice to break through the paper-thin space barrier.
Yet this fragility doesn’t bode well.
It heralds extreme instability and growing chaos.
"Try harder!"
"Engaging this image is more effective than Eternal Tower’s Clone!"
"While it’s a genuine Venerable Realm, it’s just an image bearing Venerable power, lacking Venerable wisdom."
"Continued maneuvering might momentarily lead to the realization of the Realm of Venerable!"
Thoughts surge within Jiang Shu.
Suddenly, sensing something, he leaps abruptly.
Slash!
An arm-thick space rift that had been flowing silently hundreds of meters away suddenly lashes out like a serpent, its end bizarrely extending nearly a hundred meters, precisely sweeping the spot Jiang Shu had just occupied!
