Chapter 999: Chapter 541: Eternal Dao Heart, Breaking Through the 8th Floor of the Eternal Tower Again! (Part 2)

After all, even the Wenxian Palace cannot manage the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Jiang Shu shouted, the Power Dao exploded in his spine with waves of dragon roars, the fist entwined with desolation aura collided fiercely with the Thunder Chain, causing the space along the path to be annihilated inch by inch, and even shattering those two gazes into pieces.

Yet the clone appeared behind him like a ghost, manifesting a long spear-like weapon in its palm, entwined with a chilling coldness, aiming to pierce Jiang Shu’s back.

Jiang Shu’s entire body’s senses had reached the extreme, the Three Holy Embryos within him increased his realm and perception of Dao, gradually growing and standing up, constantly absorbing the surrounding Dao Rhyme to replenish Jiang Shu himself, sensing the attack from the long spear.

Jiang Shu neither dodged nor avoided, only thrust an elbow forward, the powerful force displaced the long spear in the clone’s hand by three inches, brushing past his shoulder, lifting a small blood flower.

Such a minor injury was insignificant to Jiang Shu, but within his perception indeed entered two distinctly different yet harmonious auras into his body.

It was the Desolate Dao and the Devouring Dao.

The Desolate Dao Jiang Shu cultivated was not complete, hence unable to truly demonstrate the power of the Desolate Dao.

This clone’s strength, though eight-tenths stronger than Jiang Shu, couldn’t manifest a complete Desolate Dao out of thin air, but it took a different path, combining Desolate Dao with Devouring Dao, infusing its aura into Jiang Shu, first desolating Jiang Shu’s qi and blood, then devouring it.

The combination of these two surprised many, the destruction they brought was astonishing, even capable of collapsing the opponent’s body from within.

However, the injuries Jiang Shu suffered were very minor, these weak auras weren’t enough to truly hurt him, but they did make him wary.

During this time, his progress was truly astounding, yet the current battle ability of the clone with eighty percent more power was incomparable to before.

The two figures clashed within the vortex of star extinction. The chaos sparks rubbed from the fist peaks ignited the entire star domain.

Within Jiang Shu, there came the sounds of dragon and tiger roars, it was his bones and blood roaring, boiling blood longing for combat.

"Human Dao Supreme Fist!"

Jiang Shu threw a simple punch, but it possessed power comparable to Great Techniques.

The clone was not willing to be outdone, equally mobilized its entire body’s qi and blood, condensing upon the fist peak.

The two fists collided, emitting a deafening sound, the powerful combat aftermath shattered numerous small stars circling around them.

Tap tap tap.

Jiang Shu’s expression changed, retreating explosively three miles backward, the fist collided with the clone just barely trembled imperceptibly, causing Jiang Shu to instinctively stretch his arm.

The clone’s physical strength was absurdly strong, not even far inferior to the Demon Venerable Avatar.

Just one punch made Jiang Shu feel the numbness at the tiger’s mouth, an extremely troublesome inch strength spread from the point of collision between their fists towards Jiang Shu’s limbs and bones.

This was an application of the Power Dao, not considered a profound technique, yet Great Dao is simple, before the vast physical gap, these subtle techniques proved extra useful.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Every time Jiang Shu performed Body Fighting Technique or Divine Power Great Techniques, the clone would return with the same Divine Power Great Techniques, seemingly intending to show Jiang Shu the vast difference between them, making him retreat in face of difficulties, even breaking his Dao Heart.

This was the cruelty of the Eternal Tower.

Many prodigies, strong individuals, succumb under such offensives.

"The eighth floor does not only test cultivation talent but also a Dao Heart."

To reach the Tenth Realm, talent is indeed crucial, but whether one can break free from the sense of loss of decades of fruitless arduous cultivation.

The Dao Heart becomes increasingly important.

Being struck by one’s proud Great Techniques is hard to accept for anyone, but Jiang Shu persevered relentlessly or rather was accustomed, only relentlessly advancing, combating the clone.

"Boom!"

A small star shattered, turning into countless flying fragments.

A blurry figure burst out from the fragments, on a not-so-apparent fist was a layer of hazy light and shadow, heading towards another figure.

Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist.

At Jiang Shu’s current realm, the Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist reached its true pinnacle.

This punch, condensed the Power Dao and Cutting Dao, capable of shattering starry seas with one punch.

The clone equally raised its hand, delivering an even more powerful Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist, like two dazzling meteors colliding, sparking splendid flames, the rolling waves of qi from their clash center extending outward, clearing the battlefield ruins entirely, turning into countless fragments, even erasing the Dao Rhyme within.

The clone’s combat power was extremely high, in theory, Jiang Shu could not be its opponent in such Great Technique slaughter, yet he was equal at this moment.

The next moment, the clone extended another hand, grabbed fiercely before him, a crisp cracking sound came, the space before him shattered like a mirror, Jiang Shu’s figure turned illusory, as if countless versions of himself overlapped.

Back in the Chaotic Demon Sea, when Jiang Shu slew the Profound Turtle Demon Monarch, he had seen an Illusion Technique from him.

The Profound Turtle Demon Monarch mastered the Ren Shui Dao, able to instantly generate hundreds of avatars identical to himself within the void, each possessing a certain degree of combat power.

In the hands of the Profound Turtle Demon Monarch, it was merely an Illusion Technique, confusing the enemy’s senses to facilitate escape, yet in Jiang Shu’s hands, it took another form.

Dao is never independent, but interconnected.

Though Jiang Shu did not cultivate the Ren Shui Dao, he still grasped related concepts, using Space Dao Realm to form avatars, not for confusing enemies, but overlapping himself, exploding an unprecedented power in an instant.

The power of one space-folded avatar might be insignificant, but the strength from thousands accumulating is astonishing, able to span eighty percent combat power and stand equal against the clone of the eighth floor.

"Bang!"

The clone revealing the benefit of not possessing emotions, it wasn’t shocked by Jiang Shu’s strength, facing such powerful divine skills comparable to Great Techniques, not a trace of distraction, yet again unleashed a Dragon Capturing Hand, tearing space, crushing Jiang Shu’s spatial folded avatar.

Yet such things were virtually endless, tearing a thousand only for two thousand more waiting.

The Dao has always been fair, this technique with immense power also consumes terribly, merely within three or four breaths, Jiang Shu’s Dao Rhyme consumed almost half.

Cannot delay.

Different from fighting others, Jiang Shu and the clone’s battle immediately involved several Great Techniques alternating, close combat at any moment, Dao Rhyme consumption extremely terrifying, battle duration exceedingly short.

The dazzling axe blade appeared out of thin air, its contained massive Dao Rhyme drawing attention, as if ancient divine beings manifesting in the world, carrying endless killing intent towards afar.

Perhaps misgiving Jiang Shu’s previous divine skill, the clone didn’t replicate the same maneuver as before, but clenched both fists, seemingly grasping the quickly restoring space around, ripping it violently.

Space turbulence surged, commanded by the clone as if countless invisible sword blades, heading towards his direction, sealing off all retreat paths, intending to slaughter alongside Panwu Heaven Opening Axe.

"Kill!"

Jiang Shu instantly discerned this was merely the clone’s method to conceal its killing move, frantically operating the Great Dao Embryos hovering behind him, forming barrier after barrier.

Simultaneously, thirteen Great Dao, descending like a celestial river before him.

Tremendous power finally condensed from the axe blade, shining brightly, cutting down!
