Chapter 1099: Chapter 591: Strange Spatial Lifeform, Half-step Venerable Realm! (Part 2)

Yu Tianming heard the commotion and swiftly appeared at the source, bringing back a severely injured Cultivator from the Golden Crow Clan.

"Jin Yao’s kin."

After a brief examination, Yu Tianming said,

"He’s still alive, but grievously wounded."

The Cultivator from the Golden Crow Clan had half of his body torn apart by the Space Turbulence, and the remaining wing was badly damaged.

He struggled to open his eyes, and upon seeing Jiang Shu and the others, a flash of fear crossed his gaze, which then turned into a hopeless resignation.

The news of Jin Yao’s death at Jiang Shu’s hands had spread, leaving many Cultivators from the Golden Crow Clan enraged, claiming they would seek revenge on Jiang Shu. Yet, fully aware of the gap between them and Jiang Shu, none took action.

As for sending formidable warriors of the clan to kill him, that was even more absurd.

Though the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance behind Jiang Shu hadn’t firmly established itself in the Inner Circle, its strength was undeniable; a single Golden Crow Clan was no match for Jiang Shu.

Needless to say, at present, a Middle Stage Venerable, Luo Venerable, was monitoring their actions from the Deep Space Sea.

"Save... save me."

His voice was hoarse, blood seeping from his lips, mingling with fragments of vital organs.

"That thing... is hunting us."

Jiang Shu crouched down, infused a strand of Taichu Dao Rhyme into the other’s body to temporarily stabilize the injuries, then asked, "What are you referring to?"

"Don’t... know."

The Cultivator from the Golden Crow Clan shook his head in pain.

"It feels like space itself... has come alive. My clansmen were abruptly shattered without any warning; it’s terrifying."

As he spoke, extreme fear surfaced in his eyes, as if recalling a dreadful scene.

At that moment, Mo Qiye’s expression drastically changed.

"Be careful, Dao Brother! It’s here!"

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Shu’s Heart of Space trembled violently, engulfing him with a strong sense of crisis.

Without hesitation, he swung the Desolate Star Halberd, and the gray Taichu Dao Rhyme formed a barrier around everyone.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the space before them shattered like glass, and a blurry figure slowly emerged from the broken void.

The figure had no fixed form, sometimes like a human, sometimes like a beast, its body composed of flowing space fragments, with silver-blue light swirling within.

"Li... fe..."

The thing emitted a coarse voice, like a baby learning to speak.

Zhan Feng had already raised the Bronze Battle Axe, as the Power Dao formed a Dark Gold Battle Armor on his body, staring at the life form before him.

"Stop pretending!"

The space life seemed attracted by Zhan Feng’s voice, turning in his direction.

Despite lacking eyes, everyone felt a cold gaze sweeping over them.

"Powerful life."

The space life’s voice suddenly became more fluent.

Jiang Shu’s heart jolted, instantly realizing something.

"Wait, it’s a life born from the embodiment of the Space Law, trying to understand the meaning of life through observing us!"

"It was just born, so does not know its exact strength or realm. Now it seeks strong beings to fight, to gauge its current standing."

What?!

A life embodied by the Space Law?

Mo Qiye’s lips quivered, instinctively saying, "How can the Space Law give rise to embodied life?!"

All things possess spirituality.

Even the Supreme Law is no different.

Over the long years, several such instances have occurred.

The Fire Spirit Clan, or the Poison Demon, their ancestors are also embodiments of Law Origin.

However, compared to Fire Law or Poison Law, Space Law is fundamentally higher, making the possibility of birthing Spiritual Wisdom almost negligible.

If Jiang Shu, the holder of the Heart of Space, hadn’t said it, Mo Qiye would have instantly rejected it as nonsense.

Zhan Feng was equally surprised upon hearing it, then laughed at the twisted life form before him, "Well, it’s chosen the right person!"

"I’ll show it what true life resilience is!"

With that, he decisively swung the axe at the space life.

The axe blade teemed with the Power Dao, twisting even the space it passed through.

However, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Zhan Feng’s axe, potent enough to split stars, passed right through the space life, seemingly cutting through a mere phantom.

Yet, Zhan Feng himself was as though struck by lightning, spitting a mouthful of blood, stumbling back.

"Brother!"

Zhan Yun exclaimed.

"Stay back!"

Zhan Feng raised his hand to stop, yet his eyes ignited with fierce fighting spirit.

"Interesting, it actually bounced back my attack."

The space life regarded Zhan Feng, its body fragments organizing in some mysterious pattern.

Jiang Shu clearly saw through the Heart of Space, it was replicating the Power Dao from Zhan Feng’s attack!

"It’s learning!"

Jiang Shu’s mind blared with alarm.

"Zhan Feng, fall back!"

"It has set foot into the Venerable Realm!"

But it was too late. The space life suddenly raised a hand, an axe shadow resembling Zhan Feng’s earlier attack cleaved out, but this time the axe shadow was entirely composed of space fragments, its power even greater.

Zhan Feng roared, muscles bulging, under the bronze skin surfaced Dark Gold Dao Patterns.

He advanced rather than retreat, both fists striking out, the Power Dao condensed to its peak, forming two miniature Black Holes on his fists.

BOOM!

The two forces collided, the explosive shockwave pulverizing all surrounding space fragments.

Zhan Feng groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his fighting spirit burned even fiercer.

"Again!"

He shouted, proactively charging at the space life.

Jiang Shu knew he couldn’t wait any longer.

This space life’s learning ability was horrifying. If it continued observing, it might soon fully master Zhan Feng’s combat style.

Then, even he would struggle to deal with it.

"Yu Tianming, protect Mo Qiye."

Jiang Shu briefly commanded, then stepped forward, the Desolate Star Halberd drawing a perfect arc in the air.

Though seemingly simple, this strike contained Jiang Shu’s entire understanding of the Dao.

Where the halberd tip passed, the space rippled like a water surface, fifteen Great Dao Patterns simultaneously lighting up, weaving an invisible net in the Void.

The space life seemed to sense the threat, showing a look of caution for the first time.

It flickered, disappearing from its original position, reappearing a hundred feet away at another space node.

"Trying to escape?"

Jiang Shu sneered, the Heart of Space within the Dantian rapidly spinning.

He formed seals with his left hand while wielding the halberd with his right, suddenly splitting into three, appearing on the space life’s three escape routes.

This was an advanced use of the Space Mirror Image, each was a real Jiang Shu, yet none was the true self.

The space life couldn’t discern which posed the real threat.

Zhan Feng seized the chance, the Bronze Battle Axe flying out, transforming into twelve shields inscribed with runes, sealing all of the space life’s exit routes.

Simultaneously, he clasped his fists together, the Power Dao condensing before his chest into a Dark Gold light sphere.

"Taste this!"

Zhan Feng roared as he launched the light sphere.

The space life seemed cornered, opening its mouth as if in a rage, surrounding space rippling, producing sounds akin to roaring.

Accompanied by a sharp cry, the surrounding space instantly solidified, forming an absolute sealed domain, pressure coming from all directions, immobilizing anyone within.

"Space Imprisonment!"

Jiang Shu’s heart was startled; this was truly a Venerable technique!

Although the space life was newly born, not yet a Venerable Realm, based on its nature of the Space Law, it could still employ such methods.

Yet, as Zhan Feng’s attack encountered the domain, it sank like into a quagmire, its speed abruptly reduced.

The space life seized the opportunity, swinging claws, innumerable space fragments shooting at Zhan Feng like arrows.

At the critical moment, Jiang Shu’s true self finally acted.

Taichu Dao Rhyme on the Desolate Star Halberd surged, the tip piercing into the space domain, shattering it like a bubble.
