Wu Shattered Star River

“Boom boom boom!”

Jiang Han charged downwards. The bottom of the sea was only tens of thousands of miles away, a distance he could usually cross in a few blinks, but the seabed was teeming with demonic creatures. Jiang Han had to clear a path through them to proceed.

There were quite a few Dao Ancestor Realm demonic creatures in the lake. Two were chasing him from behind. Jiang Han was soon blasted apart, but at the moment of his destruction, he detonated his physical body and was reborn millions of miles away on the seabed.

His self-detonation sent nearby demonic creatures flying. After his rebirth, they swarmed towards him again. The two Dao Ancestor Realm creatures were enraged and roared as they charged.

He continued downwards!

Repeatedly blasted apart, torn to shreds, then constantly reborn, he charged downwards.

After being killed twelve times, Jiang Han reached the seabed and found the dark and gloomy passage. Demonic creatures were still pouring out of it, and two Dao Ancestor Realm creatures guarded the entrance.

“Boom!”

Jiang Han was blasted apart by a Dao Ancestor Realm creature at the entrance. This time, he didn't revive outside but instead entered the Other Shore Space to be reborn.

He didn't rush into the passage. Instead, he prepared to refine more spiritual herbs with life essence to restore his life force to its peak.

He didn't know how many demonic creatures awaited him inside the passage, or how terrifying the powerful ones would be. He could only try to keep himself in top condition.

Four days had passed. Cang Ri Tian, Cang Xun Ni, and Cang Huang hadn't returned, indicating they were chasing their targets far away. They wouldn't be back so soon, giving Jiang Han ample time.

“Huh?”

The nine Dao Ancestor Realm experts outside were constantly sensing Jiang Han. Now that he was at the deepest part of the sea, their perception became somewhat blurry.

They could all sense Jiang Han approaching the passage, then being blasted apart by a Dao Ancestor Realm creature at the entrance, after which there was no movement.

“What's going on?”

“Jiang Han isn't moving? Is he completely dead? Or has he entered another spatial fragment?”

“He went near the passage. He wouldn't be thinking of entering that world inside, would he?”

“He's crazy! Not only are there more demonic creatures in that world, but there are also stronger ones. Most importantly—there's demonic energy inside. Staying there for too long will lead to demonization.”

“That's right! So many top experts went in back then, and two of them died in the end. Those two were corrupted by the demonic energy, their souls were polluted, and that's why they were killed.”

“Hmph, Jiang Han probably wants to take a gamble and enter that world. He's courting death. Does he think he'll be safe inside? Given his realm, he'll probably be demonized before long, losing his mind and becoming a walking corpse, a demonic creature! Hahaha!”

The group of experts discussed, many Dao Ancestor Realm experts sneering.

So many top experts went in back then, the lowest being at the sixth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm. A group of experts only stayed inside for three days before retreating.

In the end, a Dao Ancestor Realm seventh level and a Dao Ancestor Realm sixth level expert died inside.

One could imagine how terrifying it was inside. Jiang Han actually wanted to go in? A Saint Ruler like him would probably be tainted by demonic energy as soon as he entered and be immediately demonized, right? He would become a demonic creature, worse than death.

The group of Dao Ancestor Realm experts didn't bother closing the Shielding Sky Formation, coldly watching from the outside.

Time flowed quickly. Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the Dao Ancestor Realm expert with the strongest perception suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, “Jiang Han is out!”

“Swish swish swish!”

The group of experts immediately opened their eyes, their perception spread to its limit, sensing Jiang Han at the bottom of the lake.

“Drink!”

As soon as Jiang Han came out, he blasted at his surroundings. Two fist shadows smashed out, the space immediately collapsing. Two demonic creatures comparable to the Dao Ancestor Realm were hit and lost control of their bodies.

“Swoosh!”

Jiang Han's figure was like a dragon, charging towards the entrance. He held a Divine Thunder Heart in his hand.

Demonic creatures charged out of the entrance, but they were all attacked by the lightning of the Divine Thunder Heart, their speed greatly reduced. Jiang Han easily rushed into the passage.

“Hmm…”

The nine Dao Ancestor Realm experts exchanged glances, their eyes revealing surprise.

They didn't expect Jiang Han to really enter that world? Moreover, he had the Divine Thunder Heart, so ordinary demonic creatures in the passage definitely couldn't stop him. He could easily cross the passage and enter that world.

“Jiang Han escaped into that world. Will His Majesty punish us when he returns?”

One Dao Ancestor Realm expert said with some worry. Cang Xun Ni had told them before leaving that they must not let Jiang Han escape and must kill him.

Now that Jiang Han had entered that world, they had failed in their duty. Jiang Han might survive. Would Cang Xun Ni be furious when he returned?

“It has nothing to do with us!”

Another Dao Ancestor Realm expert said, “We didn't let Jiang Han escape. Jiang Han entered that world on his own. The Grand Elder and His Majesty won't blame us, right?”

“That's right!”

A Dao Ancestor Realm expert from the Tianlin race said, “Moreover, Jiang Han is only at this level. He dares to enter there. He definitely can't withstand the demonic energy. Even if he doesn't die, he'll become a demonic creature, lose his mind, and become a walking corpse. What difference is there between that and death?”

“There's a problem here!”

A Dao Ancestor Realm expert from a small race said, “Jiang Han becoming a demonic creature doesn't mean he completely loses his mind. What if he becomes a demonic creature and the other demonic creatures don't attack him? Then he can still live freely inside. Maybe he'll come out with the other demonic creatures to attack us.”

“What are you thinking?”

Another Dao Ancestor Realm expert rolled his eyes and said, “Jiang Han is a creature from our world. Even if he's tainted by demonic energy and can survive, his essence is different from the demonic creatures inside. How could the demonic creatures inside tolerate him?”

“That makes sense!”

The Dao Ancestor Realm expert from the Tianlin race nodded and said, “Creatures born from two different worlds are different in essence. Even if Jiang Han is tainted by demonic energy and doesn't lose his mind, the demonic creatures inside won't tolerate him.”

“Especially those high-level demonic creatures. Their intelligence isn't low. They can easily tell that Jiang Han isn't a creature from their world.”

“Mm-hm!”

The other Dao Ancestor Realm experts felt relieved. They couldn't do anything and could only continue to wait here.

Another eight days passed. Jiang Han had no more movement. Either he entered that world, or he was completely killed.

“Swoosh!”

On the ninth day, the space fluctuated, and an old figure condensed.

“Greetings, Grand Elder!”

“Greetings, Ni Saint Venerable!”

The group of Dao Ancestor Realm experts bowed. They glanced at Cang Xun Ni's face, their hearts tightening, because Cang Xun Ni's expression wasn't good.

The Dao Ancestor Realm expert from the Tianlin race hesitated and cupped his hands, “Grand Elder, how is the situation?”

Cang Xun Ni said with a dark face, “Our Central Domain has a secret passage connecting to the outer Heavenly Domain. They all escaped through the secret passage.”

“Only Xiong Guanshan's physical body was destroyed, but his soul was taken away by Ye Tianfan. His Majesty is still chasing Ye Tianfan. If he can kill Ye Tianfan, he can keep Xiong Guanshan's soul as well.”
