Realm-Hopping Martial Master
Chapter 890 - 487: Refining the Heavenly Phoenix! The Noble Demon Monarch Becomes an Artifact Spirit!
"The Heavenly Phoenix of the Demon Race has already advanced to the Demon Monarch Realm, with its original body washed by the power of Dao Origin, returning to purity and simplicity. Its flesh has been infused with the breath of Dao, making it the perfect material for refining Dao Artifacts."
The Demon Race is full of treasures; their essence blood, bones, tendons, brain, and so on are all excellent materials for alchemy and artifact refining. The true blood within them is the essence of their lifetime. Even the corpse of a Transformed Realm Demon is considered rare and precious material in the Cang Mang Domain.
Not to mention, the Heavenly Phoenix before us is at the Demon Monarch Realm.
Those who reach such a transcendent level are close to the pinnacle within their respective factions. Unless faced with sudden changes or compelled by certain circumstances, the likelihood of being killed is extremely low.
After all, when confronted with life and death, Daoist Monarchs of the Vientiane Realm possess strong survival means. Even if caught in a siege, they can use their last cards to escape alive. ๐ป๐๐๐ฆ๐ธ๐๐ท๐โด๐ฃ๐ฆ๐.๐ธโด๐ฎ
Except, like Lu Chong before, who chose to protect his fellow disciple, willingly giving up the chance to break through and escape alone.
Or like Lord Heavenly Phoenix and Daoist Monarch Black Soul, who, under Jiang Shu's absolute overpowering strength, reacted too slowly. They didn't even have time to burn their origin blood to forcefully enhance their power and were directly killed.
These instances are exceptions under extreme circumstances and are not common.
At least in recent years, according to the information Jiang Shu obtained, although the Eight Great Sects ruling the Cang Mang Domain and the Demon Race of the Endless Sea have frequent conflicts, only Transformed Realm Demons have been reported dead, rarely has there been news of Demon Monarch Realm corpses.
It can be said that the death of Lord Heavenly Phoenix killed by Jiang Shu is the Demon Race's greatest loss in a century.
With keen interest, Jiang Shu examined the headless true body of the Heavenly Phoenix lying in the sticky pool of blood, pondering secretly, with a shimmer in his eyes.
His gaze lingered on the pair of hundred-zhang-long golden wings on the back of Lord Heavenly Phoenix.
The pair of Kunpeng Demon Wings obtained earlier, after being refined by his senior brother and master, reached near Dao Artifact level.
Within them lie the Great Dao of Devouring and Space.
At that time, he was still too weak, but after entering the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, his power grew exceedingly fast, and the Kunpeng Demon Wings were about to fall behind his realm.
Now, receiving an even more powerful pair of Heavenly Phoenix Golden Wings, just right to refine them, fuse with the Kunpeng Demon Wings, and completely forge them into a Dao Artifact!
With this thought, a hint of excitement appeared on Jiang Shu's face.
However, the situation within the Demon Sect Relics right now is complex and unstable, and the fellow senior brothers of the True Martial Sect are recuperating from wounds, clearly not the time to retreat and process the Heavenly Phoenix corpse.
Suppressing his thoughts for now, Jiang Shu extended his hand toward the Heavenly Phoenix true body in the pool of blood, bent his fingers to grab, and Primordial Power gushed from his palm, storing it in the storage bag at his waist.
Including the large stream of Heavenly Phoenix essence blood, still emanating waves of heat, which he didn't waste either, preserving it in jade bottles.
After handling these, Jiang Shu shifted his gaze toward the fellow senior brothers and elders who were sitting quietly healing their wounds around him.
Under the constant nourishment of the Wood Dao Origin force, Luo Jun's severe injuries inside and outside were slowly healing, his breath had stabilized.
Soon, he would be free from the impact of his injuries, able to move freely, but complete healing wouldn't be achieved overnight.
At least, going forward in these Demon Sect Relics, given Luo Jun's condition, he wouldn't contemplate engaging with the Demon Sect and Demon Clan.
As for Lu Chong, his situation was better than Luo Jun's. After removing the Black Evil Primordial Power entrenched in his vital organs, the superior recovery ability of the Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm quickly showed.
Three Great Daos circled above his head, continuously drawing purest Primordial Power from the world, pouring into his body.
Lu Chong's previously pale cheeks were visibly regaining their color, the Vientiane Realm pressure faintly emitted around him steadied once again.
Seeing that they were no longer in major trouble, Jiang Shu nodded in relief, then turned his gaze to the others.
"Luo's injuries require more recovery, no rush in breaking through realms. Junior Brother Han's Great Dao Embryo has been comprehended to the limit; he just needs to find the corresponding Dao Inheritance to formally break through and ascend to the Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm."
"The other elders, with their deep foundations, have the potential to advance further in these Ancient Demon Sect Relics. Entering the relics, injured but not fallen, is indeed a time for our True Martial Sect's prosperity."
Noticing the fluctuating aura around several people, Jiang Shu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, murmuring in a low voice.
"Yet..."
Suddenly, his mind stirred, and a strand of spiritual power surged from the Sea of Consciousness, penetrated through the black mist reemerging in the canyon, exploring deeper into the canyon.
Two breaths later, the spiritual power retreated like ebbing tide, and Jiang Shu shook his head helplessly.
The Demon Lord's tomb within the canyon had been completely destroyed by the residual waves of Primordial Power from the recent battle, and the originally preserved Dao Origin within was completely disintegrated, preventing the True Martial Sect from obtaining inheritance.
"This is somewhat regretful, but it's not a serious matter."
Murmuring softly, Jiang Shu's eyes lit with brilliance, his eyes slightly closed, immense spiritual power surged from the Sea of Consciousness again, swiftly spreading outward in all directions.
