Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han was now hundreds of thousands of miles north of the Northern Desolation stronghold.

He held a map in his hand with detailed route markings. Following this route would essentially bypass most of the strongholds of various races and lead to Ghost City.

However…

Even if he flew day and night, following this route would take at least three months.

This was unavoidable because there were no teleportation arrays between Northern Desolation City and Ghost City.

If Jiang Han could secure a courtyard there this time, he could build a teleportation array.

Ghost City was absolutely safe. Building a teleportation array outside would definitely lead to its destruction, and it couldn't be defended, making it unsafe.

Jiang Han had a warship in his spatial ring, but he didn't dare use it, as it was too conspicuous and a large target.

He needed to pass through dozens of strongholds, some of which were occupied by major races and likely guarded by Dao Entrance realm experts.

If he brazenly flew by in a warship, he would surely die a violent death within a month.

It should be known that Jiang Han had killed over two hundred experts from the Wilderness, Underworld, Asura, and Demon races in the Hidden Realm.

If the four races knew his whereabouts, they would definitely send experts to intercept and kill him. If even a single Dao Entrance realm expert came, his chances of dying would be ninety percent.

He was well aware of this, so he used the Divine King Mask to change his appearance.

The Divine King Mask was a decent spiritual artifact. After changing his appearance, only Dao Entrance realm experts could see through his true face.

Even if alien race scouts discovered him, they wouldn't pay much attention, as he was just a Dao Peering eighth level cultivator.

He flew rapidly!

Jiang Han flew for three days and three nights straight, passing through a stronghold of the Faceless race.

He sat cross-legged on the deck, resting while constructing a divine altar.

This journey was not safe, mainly because he had offended the four races. Now that he was alone, he didn't need to hide anymore. He would use up all his Great Dao power first and raise his cultivation by two levels.

Half a day later, Jiang Han easily constructed two divine altars, and his cultivation reached the Divine Advent eighth level.

As long as he constructed one more divine altar and then opened up the Undying Secret Realm, he would reach the Undying Realm, which was the Dao Peering ninth level.

"Hmm… I hope I can reach Dao Peering ninth level before arriving at Ghost City!"

Jiang Han secretly calculated that if his cultivation could reach Dao Peering ninth level, his combat power would greatly increase.

The improvement of a major realm would improve all aspects.

For example, now that his cultivation had reached the Divine Advent eighth level, if he released the Eight Divine Wings, his speed would be faster than ordinary Dao Peering ninth level cultivators.

"Roar…"

A shocking roar suddenly sounded below, and a dark shadow the size of a small mountain shot up. Jiang Han quickly closed the divine array and then put away the warship upon seeing this.

This fierce beast was very strong. If it attacked, the warship might explode. He only had one warship and couldn't let it be destroyed like this.

"Chi Chi ~"

He unleashed a River of Time and Space, and the giant beast was swept into it. He didn't entangle with the giant beast, and his body flashed as he flew away into the distance.

There was no point in fighting fierce beasts. Killing them after great effort would only yield some profound materials, which could sell for a few Divine Crystals?

He had already entered the depths of this mountain range. He encountered fierce beasts along the way, but he didn't entangle with them each time, unleashing the River of Time and Space to trap the fierce beasts and then flee far away.

There were many fierce beasts in this mountain range, but there were no Dao Entrance level fierce beasts, so there was no pressure for Jiang Han.

After spending more than two days, he walked out of this mountain range.

Ahead was the territory of a small race called the Wood race, a particularly small race with weak combat power.

But he didn't dare to be careless and quietly detoured, mainly because he didn't want to expose his whereabouts.

It took him four days to bypass this stronghold and continue forward.

Ahead was another race's stronghold, the Bloodthirsty race.

This race was also a small race, but the warriors of this race were very ferocious.

Once they fought, it was always a fight to the death. Their race possessed a very strange talent, Bloodthirst.

After they entered the Bloodthirst state, their bodies would not feel pain, and they would go berserk. They would never stop fighting unless they killed the enemy or died themselves.

Jiang Han naturally stayed as far away as possible from this race. The entire race was made up of lunatics. Why would he provoke them for no reason?

This time, he spent even more time, a full five and a half days, to bypass this stronghold.

During this time, he was almost discovered by scouts, but fortunately, he possessed the Dao Art of Spatial Teleportation and escaped.

Further ahead was a desert, which was the territory of the Sand race, and Jiang Han couldn't bypass it here.

Because… the range was too large. If he wanted to bypass it, it would take at least half a month longer.

The Sand race possessed very strange divine abilities. They usually lurked in the sand, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

However, the Sand race was a small race, occupying only dozens of interfaces, and there were not many Dao Entrance realm experts.

The information given by Marquis Liyang said that this stronghold normally had no Dao Entrance realm experts guarding it. Because this desert had no resources, it was only a stronghold for the Sand race to enter and exit the Divine-Demon battlefield.

So Jiang Han planned to force his way through!

At the edge of the desert, he used Earth Penetration Art to enter the ground and then slept inside for a night.

It would take at least six days to cross this desert, and he might be attacked by the Sand race at any time. He had to conserve his energy and keep his combat power at its peak.

"Go!"

After sleeping for a day, Jiang Han took out the warship and then controlled the warship to fly in a straight line at the fastest speed.

This desert was all the territory of the Sand race. No matter how low-key he was, he would definitely be discovered by the Sand race.

The Sand race lurked in the sand all year round, and he couldn't detect them at all. Since that was the case, he might as well swagger through directly.

The temperature in the desert was extremely high. Looking around, it was a golden expanse, with nothing.

Jiang Han stood on the deck, constantly sensing everything around him. The first half of the day was very quiet, with no movement below, as if this was a forbidden zone of life, without living beings.

"Woo Woo ~"

At noon, a sandstorm blew in from the front, covering the sky and earth, whistling and approaching.

Jiang Han's expression became solemn. He did not control the warship to bypass it, but hovered in mid-air, waiting quietly.

He knew that the Sand race was coming!

The sky-filled sandstorm quickly swept in, enveloping this area. The light suddenly became dim, and the sandstorms slammed against the warship's shield with a bang.

"Bang bang bang bang ~"

The underground sand suddenly exploded, and then strange races with yellow scales on their bodies, sharp horns on their heads, and tails on their backs flew out one by one, numbering several hundred, immediately surrounding the warship.

Jiang Han glanced around and felt a little relieved. Among the hundreds of Sand race members who came, there was only one Dao Peering ninth level cultivator, thirty Dao Peering eighth level cultivators, and the rest were all Dao Peering seventh level cultivators.

The Dao Peering ninth level cultivator had a pair of eyes that shone with yellow light, without a trace of emotional fluctuations.

He stood in the void, looked at Jiang Han on the deck, and said, "Human race, this is the territory of our Sand race. Please withdraw immediately, otherwise we will regard it as an invasion and kill without mercy!"
