The fusion of the Kunpeng Demon Wings and the Heavenly Phoenix Golden Wings underwent some unknown transformation, doubling the origin power of these Black Gold Mysterious Wings, far surpassing the past!

Observing these majestic Black Gold Mysterious Wings, Jiang Shu's eyes revealed an uncontainable joy, and he immediately nodded in satisfaction.

"I didn't expect that the fusion of two pairs of demon wings could cause such a change. It truly is a bit unexpected."

"However, the Kunpeng Demon Wings that Master crafted for me back then were already quasi-Tao artifacts. Now, as they transform into these Black Gold Mysterious Wings, the origin power is already sufficient. As long as the Heavenly Phoenix Remnant Soul can be infused and thoroughly fused, it will surely ascend to the rank of Dao Artifact in one fell swoop!"

At this thought, the corners of Jiang Shu's mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile.

Although the foundation was laid by his master, this was the first time he was attempting to craft a Dao Artifact with his own hands. If he succeeded in the end,

it would mean he would possess the ability to craft Dao Artifacts!

In the Cang Mang Domain, even the Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm don't all have such grandeur.

When the aura of the Black Gold Mysterious Wings completely stabilized, Jiang Shu did not hesitate at all. He raised his hand towards the Soul Prison in the sky and suddenly clenched!

The spiritual power swirling around the prison instantly receded like a tide, and the Heavenly Phoenix phantom appeared once again.

At this moment, the tightly closed blood-red eyes of the phantom suddenly opened, and a strong demonic power spread out from its body.

This Heavenly Phoenix had been dormant in the Soul Prison for many days, accumulating power, waiting for this moment to make a desperate bid for freedom!

However, Jiang Shu, with eyes sharp as a torch, saw through these little tricks at a glance!

"Hmph! You still have the strength to resist!"

With a heavy cold snort, Jiang Shu's gaze turned fierce as he casually struck a palm towards the Heavenly Phoenix phantom!

In that instant, the Thunder Dao above his head gleamed brilliantly. A strand of lightning gathered and instantly struck the dim body of the Heavenly Phoenix phantom.

With just one hit, the demonic power surrounding the Heavenly Phoenix phantom was completely dispersed by the violent thunder, and even its phantom was shattered as if hit by a heavy blow.

A strand of Primordial Power followed closely, sweeping in and capturing the Heavenly Phoenix Remnant Soul, forcibly dragging it into the Black Gold Mysterious Wings.

Yet, even so, Jiang Shu could still sense the ferocious and unyielding soul waves emanating from the Black Gold Mysterious Wings, no matter how much spiritual power he used to suppress it, to no avail.

It seems that to completely subdue the Heavenly Phoenix Remnant Soul and make it an Artifact Spirit at his command will still take quite some time.

However, Jiang Shu didn't particularly mind this.

Because, even if he temporarily couldn't subdue the Heavenly Phoenix Remnant Soul, it didn't affect his ability to activate the Black Gold Mysterious Wings in the slightest.

With the return of the Heavenly Phoenix Remnant Soul, the Black Gold Mysterious Wings began to tremble violently, and waves of Wind and Thunder Power surged from it, sweeping across the void, wreaking havoc on the heavens and earth.

"Done!"

Jiang Shu opened his eyes, a smile gradually curling up at the corners of his lips.

A pair of extraordinary majestic Black Gold Mysterious Wings unfurled from Jiang Shu's back in an instant, flashing, with rolling wind and thunder, imposing and grand.

Swish!

With just a gentle flap of the wings, Jiang Shu's figure transformed into a dazzling streak of light, shooting out, breaking through layers of space before him. The scenes ahead unfolded in his eyes.

"With the enhancement of these Black Gold Mysterious Wings, my ability to traverse space has risen another level, and the consumption of Primordial Power is even less!"

Such astounding power is worthy of the name Dao Artifact.

Moreover, this was the power exerted by the Black Gold Mysterious Wings without having the Heavenly Phoenix Remnant Soul completely subdued.

Jiang Shu couldn't even imagine, if in the future someday, he successfully refines the Heavenly Phoenix Remnant Soul into a Dao Artifact Spirit, how incredible the power enhancement would be when activating the Black Gold Mysterious Wings.

...

Right when Jiang Shu was refining the Black Gold Mysterious Wings, and Lu Chong and others from the True Martial Sect were each in retreat healing and comprehending the Great Dao, the depths of the Ancient Demon Sect Relics remained in violent upheaval.

In a deep mountain in the southwest direction of the relics, several figures surrounded by intense Primordial Power appeared in mid-air, then swiftly descended.

Leading them was a tall and robust figure, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, his once resolute expression now full of gloom. A noticeable bloodstain trailed at the corner of his mouth—precisely Daoist Monarch Qingtian, Zong Yue!

At this moment, Zong Yue looked exceedingly grim, his fists tightly clenched, eyes filled with fury, almost about to erupt.

These past days, he had been relentlessly hunted by Qiu Taoguang, fleeing everywhere, reduced to extreme disgrace.

He, the universally acknowledged first among the younger generation of the Eight Great Sects, had never before suffered such humiliating indignity.

Several times, he wanted to utterly disregard everything, burning his origin, forcibly elevating his cultivation realm, and engaging in a decisive battle with Qiu Taoguang!

But finally, his rationality suppressed this impulse in his heart.

He could not die, at least not in these Demon Sect Relics.

Originally, based on his talent, he should have easily crushed Qiu Taoguang, but unexpectedly, the latter unexpectedly acquired the inheritance of the Daoist Monarch of Great Disaster, his strength skyrocketing, thus surpassing him.

Zong Yue was long determined in his heart that even if Qiu Taoguang had a temporary lead, with his talent, it was impossible to be forever overshadowed. There would be a time for reversal.

Indeed, as long as he continued cultivating in the relics and found an opportunity, he might achieve surpassing Qiu Taoguang in one fell swoop!

And when that time comes, it will be the moment for him to personally slay Qiu Taoguang and reclaim his dignity!

For this very reason, Zong Yue never chose to leave the Ancient Demon Sect Relics but continued to lead his companions hiding and evading, seemingly dangerous but actually searching for breakthrough opportunities, hoping to break the stalemate.

"Daoist Monarch Qingtian, considering the current situation, it's likely that within the inner circle of these relics, our Eight Great Sects' true inheritors and elders have largely perished. If we continue to linger here, we might also end buried."

While Zong Yue's mind was racing with thoughts, a young person dressed in Beast Taming Sect attire beside him furrowed his brows, expressing concern as he slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zong Yue immediately regained his senses, a dark glint flashing in his eyes, but he didn't reply immediately.

He was fully aware of the current situation, but he could not explain his thoughts to others from the sect.

After all, his previous defeat at the hands of Qiu Taoguang had caused him to lose all the prestige he had accumulated over the years. His words now no longer carried the same weight to persuade the true inheritors and elders of other sects as before.

Currently, beside him, apart from two junior brothers from the Dao Yi Sect, the others were following him just to avoid the risks of venturing alone without encountering an accident, which would be even more dangerous.

Zong Yue saw through these people's thoughts clearly but felt helpless about it.

After a moment of silence, he looked into the eyes of those around him, his gaze flickering slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, the Supreme Sect Leaders of each sect sent us to these Demon Sect Relics with immense expectations, but we have yet to achieve our objectives, even enduring heavy losses."

"However, even if the situation is dire, we cannot give up lightly. If Qiu Taoguang can acquire profound inheritance here, greatly boosting his strength, so can we."

Upon hearing these words, the true inheritor of the Beast Taming Sect's eyes flashed slightly. He opened his mouth to speak but ultimately stayed silent.

As for the others, they also lowered their heads, seemingly unmoved by Zong Yue's words, their minds not yet cleared of the gloom.

Seeing this, Zong Yue clenched his fists in secret, gritting his teeth, the muscles on his cheeks bulging as his anger surged again.

In the past, no one would dare dismiss his words so casually.

But now, no matter how sincerely he spoke, it had no effect.

"Qiu Taoguang... I, Zong, swear that I will not live as a person if I don't avenge this enmity."

Gnashing his teeth, the roar of anger echoed in his heart.
