Chapter 683: Stealing the Sky
Chapter 683: Stealing the Sky
After his connection with his clone was cut off, Jiang Changsheng could only use his eyes to spy on his clone.
Within the boundless gray fog, the fog waves churned. It was obvious that a powerful force was fighting inside. Those faintly discernible terrifying figures all rushed in one direction, and new figures continuously condensed and continued to attack.
In less than thirty breaths, the boundless gray fog calmed down.
This meant that the clone had been destroyed or subdued.
Even though the clone only had half of his magic power and did not have the help of any magical treasures, the fact that it was destroyed so quickly was enough to prove how terrifying the power inside was.
Most importantly, Jiang Changsheng was still unaware of the existence behind the scenes.
Jiang Changsheng immediately used his spiritual will to bypass the boundless gray fog and looked at the void that had been swept by the boundless gray fog. He discovered that those stars and heaven and earth were lifeless. From the karma left behind, there were some places where living beings had existed in the past.
From the looks of it, the other party might not be here for the Immortal Dao. It was just that the Immortal Dao was in the other party's path. They would devour all beings along the way, but they would not destroy the world itself.
The first thing Jiang Changsheng thought of was to shift the Immortal Dao away. However, doing so would probably alarm the other party and cause them to lock onto him.
Even the Heavenly Dao sensed danger, so the other party had already noticed the Immortal Dao.After much thought, Jiang Changsheng decided to use the Great Heaven Stealing Technique.
The Great Heaven Stealing Technique was prone to karmic backlash, but since he had learned it, he had to use it. Now was the critical moment.
The enemy was mysterious and unprecedentedly powerful. He could not rashly gamble.
For the past tens of millions of years, Jiang Changsheng had easily killed his enemies. However, he would not be too arrogant if he did not have absolute confidence.
Jiang Changsheng's spiritual will directly covered the entire Immortal Dao Domain, including the hundreds of orthodoxies that had yet to transcend.
This area was extremely vast, but it was nothing to the divine consciousness of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. After successfully covering the entire area, Jiang Changsheng began to cast the Great Heaven Stealing Technique.
He wanted to use the Great Heaven Stealing Technique to conceal the karma of the Immortal Dao.
The Great Heaven Stealing Technique was a divine technique that could reverse the universe and change karma. It was practically omnipotent, but correspondingly, the more unimaginable the thing you did, the stronger the karmic backlash.
The people of the Immortal Dao in the calamity did not feel anything and were still immersed in their own world.
Soon after, Jiang Changsheng had all the worlds of the entire Immortal Dao Domain sink into the deep space to hide.
When the endless gray fog came, they would not be able to find the Immortal Dao nor deduce it.
...
Within the boundless gray fog, Jiang Changsheng's clone was lifted by a terrifying figure with one hand. With a squeeze, the clone immediately dissipated.
"Hmph, overestimating your abilities. You actually dared to send a clone to test us."
The terrifying figure snorted with disdain.
His physique was similar to a human but also an evil spirit. His entire body was pitch-black and his true appearance could not be seen. Only his pair of scarlet eyes revealed his true appearance.
He was surrounded by terrifying figures of different sizes.
"The most powerful orthodoxy ahead is the Immortal Dao. Could it be that Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Dao?" A figure asked.
"It's hard to say. I can't see through the karma of this clone."
"To be able to conceal karma like this, I can only think of Greed.
The Greed Divine Tablet possesses such power."
"Whether it's the Immortal Dao or not, we'll encounter it soon."
"Didn't your Divine Servant investigate the Immortal Dao previously? How's the situation?"
"Him? He's just a good-for-nothing. He had only hindered the Immortal Dao from annexing two orthodoxies. He's suitable to raise a Dao Devil."
The figures in the gray mist spoke one after another, causing the area to become noisy.
In their words, the terrifying figure that destroyed Jiang Changsheng's clone was called the Devil Venerable. The Devil Venerable seemed to be the leader among them, but their tone did not have absolute reverence towards him. Instead, it was more like they were of the same level.
The Devil Venerable said, "Alright, since we have encountered the Immortal Dao, let's swallow it. No matter who sent that guy to test us, he cannot stop us. Our goal is Miracle. We have to succeed in annexing it."
As soon as he said that, the surrounding figures quieted down.
The name of the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Dao had indeed spread far and wide recently, but they were only curious.
...
After casting the Great Heaven Stealing Technique, the huge karmic backlash entangled Jiang Changsheng. However, he was no longer the same as before. There was no need to throw out another bone to eliminate it. He easily suppressed the karmic backlash.
Even though the karmic backlash was fierce, it was not as potent as the previous backlash. After all, his current actions were only to cover up his tracks. The previous karmic backlash was to bring in a world that should not have existed. It had crossed countless eras, and the karmic backlash it carried was difficult to dissipate. Perhaps he had crossed a long time and the karmic backlash on his Dao bone also required so much time to digest.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his gaze and quietly waited for the boundless gray mist to leave.
The calamity in the Immortal Dao continued.
The Demon Race and the Human Race had experienced another war where both sides suffered heavy losses. The Demon Sovereign and the Human Sovereign had yet to decide the winner between them.
In the bright and vast main hall of the Demon Sovereign City, the Demon Sovereign sat on a throne. Millions of demons stood in the hall, and the lowest status among them was a demon king with a million demon soldiers under him.
The Demon Sovereign's expression was ugly.
He had fought against Jiang Hongchen hundreds of times, and he could still edge out a slight advantage in the past. However, he did not know when they could only fight to a draw. In the recent fight, he even felt the aura of defeat.
During the fight between them, Jiang Hongchen's attacks were exceptionally powerful, and he did not dare to be careless. This was the hardest battle he had ever fought.
This was the first time he felt such a sense of urgency after reaching the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm.
Jiang Hongchen was much younger than him!
He had the feeling that he would be surpassed at any time.
"Your Majesty, it's not good news that the Supreme Kunlun has joined the side of the Human Race."
An old Demon Saint stepped forward and said. Immediately, the silence was broken and the entire hall was in an uproar.
"Isn't the Dao Sect supporting us? Why did the Supreme Sect's Sect Master change his camp?"
"There must be something behind the scenes that we don't know about!"
"It's mainly because more and more Zenith Heaven Immortals have been born in the Human Race recently. Damn it, why did the Yan Race join the Human race? Aren't they very conceited?"
"Your Majesty, we have to think of a countermeasure. The formations those humans use in the war are getting more and more exquisite. On the other hand, our people are like scattered sand in front of those formations."
"But the Demon Race doesn't have any powerful experts who are proficient in the art of formations."
As he listened to his subordinates' discussions, the Demon Sovereign became increasingly vexed.
More and more disciples of the merit sects began to distance themselves from the Demon Race, as if the Demon Race was about to be defeated.
The Demon Sovereign suddenly hesitated when he thought of how the Human Sovereign had invited powerful immortals everywhere.
In the past, he disdained such behavior and felt that it was a disgrace to the dignity of the leader of a race. However, as the Human Race became stronger and stronger, the Demon Race gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. He felt strenuous and began to yearn for more help.
The era that allowed him to decide the war with his own strength had passed.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. How arrogant was he? Making him pay a visit to those merit sects was more uncomfortable than killing him.
However, if he did not do so, how could he have the last laugh?
Unless he could become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!
Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal...
The Demon Sovereign's eyes revealed a strong unwillingness.
At that moment, the Demon Supreme stood out and said, "Your Majesty, the Demon Race does not have any formation experts, but the Saint Mother of Fortune must know such a powerful expert. Why don't you pay her a visit?"
As soon as he said that, many almighty demons agreed and persuaded the Demon Sovereign.
The Demon Sovereign's expression was complicated. He had a conflict with the Saint Mother of Fortune previously. Even though they did not become enemies, if he were to beg the Saint Mother of Fortune now...
The Demon Supreme said, "I can accompany Your Majesty. Your Majesty, don't worry too much. She was indeed unhappy before, but the Saint Mother will not take that small matter to heart. Besides, Your Majesty is wise and has never neglected the Saint Mother."
The Demon Sovereign hesitated. "But Heavenly Jing also has her support..."
"Your Majesty! The Saint Mother of Fortune is the Saint Mother of all beings, not the Saint Mother of humans. Has the Demon Race not been under her care all these years?" The Demon Supreme's tone became heavier.
Most of the experts in the hall had received the Saint Mother of Fortune's kindness and were speaking up for her.
Seeing this, the Demon Sovereign felt even more upset, but he had no choice but to agree to this method.
While the Demon Race were looking for a way out, the morale of the Human Race was at its peak. The Human Sovereign had conferred titles to many meritorious officials and shown kindness to the world, as if he had already won the calamity.
However, the calamity was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
Whether the calamity ended or not had nothing to do with how they thought. It still depended on the Heavenly Dao.
Ten thousand years passed like a day. In the blink of an eye, 400,000 years had passed.
Ever since the Demon Sovereign sought the Saint Mother of Fortune's help, under the Saint Mother of Fortune's introduction, the Demon Race finally obtained a killing formation and regained the upper hand in the subsequent battles.
However, the Human Race also showed no weakness and learned the Big Dipper Sky Formation from the Immortal Beidou to fight against the Demon Race.
The calamity had become unpredictable again.
That year, another conflict broke out between the Immortal Imperial Race and the Yan Race, causing the Yan Race to have no choice but to retreat and return to defend their territory. This also caused the Human Race to be suppressed in the war.
The leader of the Immortal Imperial Race and the leader of the Yan Race fought. Both of them were top existences in the Zenith Heaven Realm. With their respective talents, they displayed an aura that even the Demon Sovereign and the Human Sovereign would raise their eyebrows at.
The Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm was about to collapse.
Ultimately, it was Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor, one of the Three Saints of the Immortal Dao, who took action and forcefully interrupted their battle.
This battle had changed the situation of the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. Only then did the public discover that other than the Demon Sovereign and the Human Sovereign, there were other existences comparable to them hidden in the Immortal Dao.
After this battle, the Immortal Imperial Race and the Yan Race became even more powerful. However, they still stared at each other and fought. Occasionally, it would even affect the Human Race and the Demon Race. However, they had no reservations and only wanted to destroy the other party's race.
Just like that, with the crazed appearance of the Immortal Imperial Race and the Yan Race, the situation of the calamity became even more unfathomable.
In the Purple Cloud Palace.
Jiang Changsheng was currently looking at the boundless gray fog. In the past 100,000 years, the boundless gray fog had increased its speed and arrived at the edge of the Immortal Dao.
Now, it was up to the other party to see through the Great Heaven Stealing Technique.
Jiang Changsheng was confident in the Great Heaven Stealing Technique. This was a divine technique on the Great Dao of Karma that could even conceal the vitality of the Great Dao.
As the boundless gray mist got closer and closer to the Immortal Dao, the mysterious existences inside also noticed something amiss..
