Chapter 1528: 1113 Jian Mu Mozun_2

Jiang Chen saw all this, yet he did not intervene. This Great Thousand Worlds was his offering prepared for the reshaping of the Prehistoric World—naturally, the better the offering, the greater the benefits to be reaped after the sacrifice.

...

...

As Jiang Chen hurried along with this piece of the Great Thousand Worlds, in the boundless Chaos where not even Saints could reach, there lay a colossal Chaos Abyss.

This Chaos Abyss, like a fissure in Chaos itself, seemed to have been cleaved open with a sword, stretching countless miles, so vast that even Saints could not see its end.

Where it tore open, endless waves of Chaos Qi poured down like a waterfall into the rift.

However, that violent and overbearing Chaos Qi, upon entering the Chaos Abyss, underwent a mysterious transformation, swiftly evolving into a power utterly different from Spiritual Energy, dark and profound, emanating chaotic and cold auras.

Sha Qi!

The Chaos Qi here, after entering the Chaos Abyss, was directly transformed into Sha Qi, or more aptly into demonic energy.

Indeed, this is the Demon World, the undiscovered Demon World of the Prehistoric World until this day, the stronghold of the Demonic Way.

No wonder no one has been able to find the traces of the Demon World to this day; it turns out it’s not located within the Prehistoric World at all but hidden in the vast outer Chaos.

Moreover, the Demon World’s location is not fixed; it is always in a state of motion. This makes pinpointing its position even more difficult.

And at this moment, at a corner of the Demon World, in a place enveloped by a rich vitality that starkly contrasts with the surrounding desolation, a tremendous aura suddenly erupted.

"Why do I feel that the power of my original body is rapidly declining, as if something is continually devouring its power?"

An elderly figure shrouded in dark green demonic light, with a sullen face, looked towards the Three Realms, trying to discern something.

This elder’s name was Jian Mu!

Yes, he was none other than the Innate Spirit Root, the heaven-reaching Jian Mu.

Back then, unable to resist the temptation to Transform, he resolutely joined the Demonic Way. He intended to destroy the order of Heaven and Earth, incite a colossal calamity, thereby accumulating supreme karma to aid in the formation of his ultimate demonic body.

His plan was indeed ambitious, but he overestimated his own power. Without even a Saint lifting a finger, it was an Emperor of the Human Race who struck him down, shattering his Innate-born body into Fragments.

However, it was precisely the shattering of his body that spurred his great destruction and rebirth; at the last moment before his complete annihilation, he escaped death, leaving behind a wisp of his consciousness, which managed to Transform in the Demon World.

As a top-tier Innate Spirit Root Transforming, his talent needs no mention, and it certainly belonged to the highest tier.

Upon Transforming, Jian Mu was immediately a Great Divine Transcendent, and now, after tens of millions of years of cultivation, he had even stepped into the realm of Saints. His strength surpassed that of Emperor Zhuan Xu, who had slain him, by an entire level.

Without question, every transcendent who stepped into the realm of Saints harbored great ambitions, preparing for multiple transcensions.

Jian Mu was no exception, and his method for multiple transcensions was simple. He only needed to retrieve his fragmented Jian Mu body, and then he would be able to achieve physical transcension.

Jian Mu, as a top-tier Innate Spirit Root, was made of materials on par with Innate Treasures. Had his body not been destroyed, and had he Transformed with his original body, his power would have risen to an even higher level.

Besides, Jian Mu had another method to seek multiple transcensions: to devour the rest of the top-tier Innate Spirit Roots.

There were ten great Innate Spirit Roots in the Prehistoric World; if Jian Mu could devour all of them, he would transform into a Chaos Spirit Root and step into the realm of Primordial Chaos in perfect form.

By then, not to mention the Primordial Chaos 5th Level, even reaching the Primordial Chaos 7th Level, or the 9th Level, was not impossible.

However, such a feat was, at best, wishful thinking. Jian Mu couldn’t even retrieve his own original body, let alone devour the other Innate Spirit Roots.

Were the other Innate Spirit Roots so easily dealt with? If his original body hadn’t been destroyed, he would have no fear of them. But now, as one whose Innate Dao body was ruined, he might not necessarily be a match for the other Innate Spirit Roots.

"Has the plan of the Human Race changed again?"

"Or have they sensed something, thus changing the plan and no longer cultivating the Innate Jian Mu, instead planning to devour it?"

Feeling the continuous loss of Original Power from his main body through the indistinct connection, Jian Mu couldn’t help but grow anxious.

He knew that the Human Race was cultivating the Innate Jian Mu, or rather, he sensed it the moment the Jian Mu began to revive with newfound vitality.

After all, it was his main body, and there was an indestructible link between them; any change to the Jian Mu could not escape his perception.

Yet he did nothing to stop it; in fact, he did nothing at all, tacitly allowing the actions of the Human Race and letting them cultivate the Jian Mu.

The thought process of the Jian Mu Demon Sovereign was simple: his main body was already shattered, and the resources required to return to his peak were unfathomable, far beyond his capability to bear.

At this time, since the Human Race took it upon themselves to actively cultivate his main body, there was nothing for him to be dissatisfied with. He gladly went along with their actions, not only not interfering but even covertly providing considerable assistance.

He was not afraid of the Human Race taking over his main body. With the connection between him and his main body, coupled with the help of other Demonic Way powerhouses, how hard could it be to reclaim his main body?

A perfect plan, or so it seemed until now, as everything had been developing exactly as the Jian Mu Demon Sovereign had envisioned.

But today, there was a flaw in his perfect plan. The Human Race unexpectedly gave up on cultivating the Innate Jian Mu, instead turning to devour its power.

How could the Jian Mu Demon Sovereign tolerate this? He watched as his main body was about to return to its peak, yet at this critical moment, someone was stealing his main body’s Original Power.

This...

If his main body were destroyed because of this, wouldn’t his plan be completely ruined, with years of waiting coming to naught, and his path to ascension growing infinitely distant?

"Let’s go and see!"

After much deliberation, the Jian Mu Demon Sovereign could not restrain himself anymore and left the Demon World, heading for the Three Realms.

He wanted to know what kind of change had occurred that led the Human Race to alter their plan, cease cultivating his main body, and instead steal its Original Power.

If the situation was beyond salvage, then he would have no choice but to reclaim his main body now. Actually, upon careful consideration, it was about time for him to take his main body back.

With the efforts of the Human Race, the Jian Mu had already grown to the level of Great Divine Transcendent, and was not far from the peak. The Jian Mu Demon Sovereign himself could handle the rest of the repairs; there was no need to exploit the Human Race anymore.

Better to act sooner rather than risk more complications, the Jian Mu Demon Sovereign thought and decided to take this opportunity to reclaim his main body.

...

"Something’s not right!"

"It seems like someone is targeting me!"

"Who has the audacity to target me at a time like this?"

In the void realm, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks, full of astonishment.

He couldn’t fathom who would dare target him now, planning to ambush him en route!

How audaciously reckless!

Did this person not see that just moments ago, twenty-four Great Divine Transcendents and two incarnations of Saints, even with the deployment of two Magic Treasures comparable to Innate Treasures, could not defeat him and instead he killed one?

If they had seen it and still dared to do so, Jiang Chen would truly admire such a person; that would be supreme confidence in their own strength.

Surely, without the cultivation level of Primordial Chaos 3rd or 4th Level, one would simply not dare to do such a thing.

Well, the recent events, although significant, were in fact not seen by the Jian Mu Demon Sovereign. To be precise, the news from the Three Realms reaches the Demon World belatedly.

Because the Demon World is really too far from the Three Realms, situated at the edge of the outer Chaos, barely bordering the Great Chaos, behind the Zixiao Palace.

If one were to stand in the Great Chaos and gaze out at the outer Chaos, they would discover that the circle of Taoist Fields formed by the Saints in the outer Chaos happens to encircle the Prehistoric World.
