Looking at the Sen Hu Demon Monarch in front of him, eyes wide open in death, Jiang Shu gently waved his hand, offering up its corpse, along with the heads of the two transford Great Demons he had beheaded, as sacrifices in the air, eroding their souls.
This Cutting Dao, although ranked lower among the Three Thousand Dao than the Power Dao, Five Elents Dao, and Disaster Dao he is currently comprehending, can sever anything and perfectly complents the Protective Dao. More importantly, this Dao is complete and pushed to the extre.
If he can comprehend it, his killing ability will certainly elevate to a higher level.
By then, confronting the Black Dragon Demon Lord with the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing a hand.
"The Cutting Dao... Indeed, even in the Demon Domain, every Demon Monarch level being is formidable. It's only because Sen Hu is wounded that he could possibly contend with at full strength, especially with this Demon Bone."
Jiang Shu murmured to himself.
He hadn't expected that his plan to kill Sen Hu and establish a foothold in the Chaotic Demon Sea would unexpectedly yield this Demon Bone.
Though not a Dao Artifact, this Demon Bone is, in his eyes, more valuable than ordinary Dao Artifacts.
...
The Battle of Vientiane is not just a struggle between Daoist Monarchs and Demon Monarchs, testing not only Primordial Power and demonic power but also the Great Dao.
To reach this realm, who isn't a person of many ans?
Thus, battles at the Vientiane realm often last a day or two, and for those with profound cultivation, it's possible for a battle to continue for three or four days.
However, Jiang Shu's Dao practice and combat skills are too strong; the Sen Hu Demon Monarch was already suffering from a Dao wound and was no match for Jiang Shu, rely struggling for a mont with the Great Cutting Demon Bone and didn't leave a scratch on Jiang Shu.
The only small injury caused is slowly healing.
From the start of the battle, only a short half-hour has passed, the Heaven-locking Earth-sealing Array remains, and no one has discovered that a mighty Demon Monarch perished silently in this sea region.
The sole spectator was Hu Yi, who survived thanks to the mark gifted by Jiang Shu.
The previous island has disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of sea.
One can vaguely see a figure sitting cross-legged in the void, with three large figures lying motionless before him as if already dead.
Hu Yi instantly recognized this as Sen Hu's true form, and among them, the largest, resembling a gigantic mountain, was indeed the Sen Hu Demon Monarch.
Although the Sen Hu Demon Monarch was dead, without a drop of blood left in its body, the intimidation of the king of ten thousand beasts remained, causing Hu Yi's heartbeat to quicken, instinctively wanting to distance himself.
This was Hu Yi's first ti witnessing a battle at the Vientiane realm, broadening his horizons and leaving him utterly astonished.
The Sen Hu Demon Monarch had guarded the Northern Domain of the Chaotic Demon Sea for thousands of years, wielding imnse power, with a single decree from him leaving even the clan elders without a chance to resist, compelled to rush to this island, allowing him to consu their hearts without a hint of protest, fearing any repercussion on the Fox People Clan they stood behind.
Yet such a figure fell at the hands of his master.
Moreover, the master's appearance did not suggest he had sustained any injuries.
Hu Yi hurriedly approached, protected by a barrier that prevented the chaotic void from tearing him apart, his excitent evident as he knelt before Jiang Shu, bowing repeatedly.
"Congratulations to the master on your victory, ridding us humans of a great foe!"
Having learned well to seize the mont, he now phrased it as "us humans," already considering himself part of the Human Clan, and began to envisage the beautiful scenario where, with this great rit, he could elevate the entire Fox People Clan into the Human Clan.
Jiang Shu nodded lightly and said, "This battle is over, for now, let's find a peaceful place and wait for an opportunity."
Out of the four Demon Monarchs occupying the Chaotic Demon Sea, one had now perished at his hands.
However, the Sen Hu Demon Monarch was suffering from a Dao wound and was near death; without the Great Cutting Demon Bone in hand, he wouldn't have even managed to display the strength of a Demon Monarch.
The other Demon Monarchs are not as easy to deal with as the Sen Hu Demon Monarch, and Jiang Shu's internal injuries have yet to recover; forcing a confrontation could exacerbate these injuries, which would be troubling if it affected his Origin.
Hu Yi pondered for a mont, then suggested, "If the master doesn't mind, you can retreat to our Fox People Clan's island for cultivation."
"Though our Fox People Island isn't large, it benefits from a constant flow of diverse people. Given the chaos of current events, it's the perfect place to recuperate, and we can gather intelligence through our clan's network."
Fox People Island, being at the heart of intelligence in the Chaotic Demon Sea, is indeed a pri location.
Jiang Shu stood up, waving his robe sleeves, and in a flash of the Space Dao, an indescribable, mighty aura spread; within this shattered space, he carved out a storage space, temporarily storing the three corpses with his Sleeve Universe Divine Skills, and, taking Hu Yi, stepped forward, vanishing from the scene.
The Fox People Clan, as a vassal to Sen Hu, naturally had their ho island in the Northern Domain, a dium-sized island flanked by three smaller islands, bustling with sea traffic.
In the Demon Domain, half-demons exist to serve the Demon Race.
Within the Demon Race, Condensing Seed Realm Demon Beasts barely achieve wisdom, and Inner Core Realm Demon Beasts can rely speak human language; their talents lie solely in combat.
Half-demons like the Fox People, though not inherently gifted in cultivation, possess wisdom on par with the Human Clan, inherently quick and sharp, making them perfect for intelligence gathering.
It's unknown how many Transford Realm Demons keep Fox People to establish their intelligence networks.
However, none of these networks can encompass the entire Chaotic Demon Sea.
They pale in comparison to the intelligence network on Fox People Island.
As a prince of the Fox People Clan, Hu Yi naturally has greater access to intelligence; though the Sen Hu Demon Monarch has died, this leads to more possibilities.
For instance, which Demon Monarch will the Fox People align with?
Or how they would survive the chaos.
After all, the news of the Sen Hu Demon Monarch's death won't stay hidden for long; by then, the three remaining powerful clans and so slightly lesser families will certainly converge, sensing the blood in the water like sharks, tearing apart and devouring the foundation of the Sen Hu Clan, making the intelligence network in the hands of the Fox People very appealing.
Without prior preparations, the entire clan may not face annihilation, but there could be Fox People casualties, a scenario he wished to avoid.
As a prince of the Fox People Clan, Hu Yi couldn't walk the streets without mbers of his clan approaching to greet and exchange pleasantries with him.
Jiang Shu stood beside Hu Yi, yet it was as though no one saw him at all.
With a sweep of his thoughts, the situation of the entire Fox People Island unfolded in his mind.
Besides the Fox People on the island are other half-demon species, even mbers of the Human Clan, assisting with various tasks. Although they remain as servitors, compared to the humans he saw on other islands being bartered as livestock and food, the situation here is far better, elevating his impression of the Fox People Clan.
It appears this Fox People Clan leans toward the Human Clan overall, and their sensitivity to intelligence is quite exceptional, making them worth nurturing.
"My grandfather, during his youth, was aided by a human, and thus harbored a deep goodwill towards the Human Clan, secretly saving many captured human cultivators. My understanding of the Vast Domain cos from a sect disciple among those rescued."
"Regrettably, this sect disciple arrived fleeing, reduced to just a fragnt of a soul; our Fox People Clan lacked the resources to reconstruct his body. We could only watch helplessly as he perished."
Seeing that the master's mood seed favorable, and knowing Jiang Shu's deanor quite well by now, Hu Yi quickly added, hoping to make a good impression of the Fox People Clan.
Jiang Shu nodded approvingly, handing over a storage ring filled with opportunities invaluable to the Fox People Clan.
"Well done. Inside, there is so elixir suitable for your current cultivation. The Furnace Fire Realm's cultivation is sowhat weak in today's world."
