1779

 **Chapter 1779: Not Wanting to Take Shortcuts, It's Hard!**

In the ancestral land of the Demon Clan, a rain of fire began to fall.

Hellfire and Abyssal Fire merged, forming a peculiar flame that was green, black, and blood-like.

The flames fell, destroying countless buildings, injuring, and even killing numerous demons.

The demons were terrified, not knowing what to do.

Unlike the celebratory atmosphere in the Human World, the Demon World was suddenly struck by numerous disasters, and a sorrowful atmosphere swept across the entire demon territory.

When a God Sovereign falls, it usually just rains.

But when an Other Shore Realm being falls, it brings disaster.

"Previously, there was a torrential rain, and many God Sovereigns died."

"Now the rain has turned into a rain of fire. Could it be that an Other Shore Realm being has fallen?"

"How many years has it been since an Other Shore Realm being fell?"

"Did they die of old age, or were they killed?"

Many elderly demons, who knew more than the younger ones, had a rough idea of what had happened.

In the Demon King's city, a voice roared with anger.

Among the demons, two terrifying beings sat on the highest thrones.

One was the Hell Demon Sovereign, the supreme being of the Hell faction.

The other was the Abyss Demon Sovereign, the supreme being of the Abyss faction.

Both were Saint Sovereigns, possessing immense power.

The Hell Demon Sovereign, born from the Hundred-Headed Lion Demon, had a lion-like appearance covered in fleshy lumps, each resembling an independent head, making him look extremely terrifying.

The Abyss Demon Sovereign, on the other hand, was entirely shrouded in dark green Abyssal Fire. No one knew his appearance or origin.

Below them were hundreds of demons, including Saint Sovereigns and peak God Sovereigns, all exuding astonishing auras.

The Abyss Demon Sovereign's voice was hoarse, like thousands of worms crawling on the ground, giving a creepy feeling. "The Abyssal Dragon Demon was killed by the Human Race's Heavenly Saint Sovereign."

"The No. 10 fortress in the Vermilion Bird Battlefield was also destroyed by the Human Race. None of the demons inside escaped. The ones who did it were Lin Moryu and Zhu Qiwu."

"Zhu Qiwu should have already become an Other Shore Realm being. I have heard the Human Race's celebratory voice."

The Hell Demon Sovereign said in a low voice, "Now is not the time to go to war with the Human Race, but this hatred cannot go unavenged."

"Pass my order: in the four battlefields, all demons are to stop collecting resources and focus on hunting down the Human Race."

"Deploy the army to cooperate. I want the battlefield to be drenched in the blood of the Human Race."

He then looked at the Abyss Demon Sovereign, who shook with Abyssal Fire. "You don't need to worry about me. Do whatever you want; I won't oppose it."

"Although now is not the time to go to war with the Human Race, the hatred for the Abyssal Dragon Demon must be avenged. I will personally handle this matter."

The Hell Demon Sovereign nodded, "Alright, be careful not to touch the Human Race's bottom line. You know what I mean."

The Abyss Demon Sovereign let out a sinister laugh, "Of course I know. Leave the rest to me. I will only seek personal revenge and won't affect you."

After speaking, the Abyss Demon Sovereign's figure twisted and disappeared.

...

In the Vermilion Bird Battlefield, in the void a hundred billion kilometers away from the No. 10 fortress.

Zhu Qiwu sat cross-legged, his aura continuously sublimating, with the power of laws fully transforming into the power of rules.

His soul had completely stepped into the fifth grade, turning entirely purple, looking like a beautiful jade.

The soul had entered the Other Shore before the physical body.

Now, he was just waiting for the laws to fully transform, for the soul and body to merge, and to achieve the Other Shore.

Time passed second by second. After waiting for half a day, the last trace of law finally transformed into the power of rules.

Zhu Qiwu's body emitted a dazzling light, and the starry sky around him collapsed under the pressure of the power of rules.

At this moment, his soul re-entered his body, merging with it.

A powerful aura shot into the sky, and the law star river beneath his feet quickly shrank, merging into his body.

Zhu Qiwu's body trembled, and his physical body began to strengthen.

From the first tier of the God King realm, it quickly reached the third tier.

In the coming period, his physical body would continue to strengthen until it reached the sixth tier of the God King realm.

As his realm reached the Other Shore, the law star river automatically merged into his body, continuously stimulating and strengthening his physical body.

Because of this, cultivators in the Great World generally did not actively cultivate their physical bodies.

Almost everyone believed that as long as the physical body was strong enough to carry the soul, it was sufficient.

As the realm increased, the physical body would naturally strengthen, without the need for deliberate cultivation.

The key issue was that physical body cultivation was too slow and yielded little effect.

Rather than wasting time, it was better to focus on the soul and reach higher realms.

The law star river did not disappear but fully merged into the body, allowing the power of the law star river to be mobilized at any time.

Laws are the foundation of rules, and the law star river contains endless power of laws, which can be continuously transformed into rules.

The power of the Other Shore Realm would be endless. As long as the rhythm was controlled well, there was almost no need to worry about running out of power.

Moreover, various restrictive spells would find it difficult to restrain an Other Shore Realm being.

The Other Shore Realm is self-sufficient, not relying on the outside world.

Zhu Qiwu slowly opened his eyes, and Lin Moryu sincerely said, "Congratulations, senior, on reaching the Other Shore. I wish you to soon achieve the Saint Sovereign realm and possess the power to destroy the heavens and the earth."

The first half of the sentence was proper, but the second half was exaggerated.

Zhu Qiwu didn't know whether to thank Lin Moryu or scold him.

He looked around and frowned, "Someone has been here?"

The Star Fragmentation Ring had collapsed, and the traces of a great battle were everywhere.

Lin Moryu nodded, returning the Hao Saint Sovereign's token to Zhu Qiwu, "The Abyssal Dragon Demon came. I used the Heavenly Saint Sovereign's token to destroy him."

Zhu Qiwu said in a low voice, "The Abyssal Dragon Demon actually attacked us."

Other Shore Realm beings are not supposed to act casually; this is the rule.

But the Abyssal Dragon Demon's disregard for the rules exceeded Zhu Qiwu's expectations.

Lin Moryu casually said, "Actually, it's nothing. That guy had a grudge against me and came under the pretext of seeking revenge. Unfortunately, he didn't expect to encounter the Heavenly Saint Sovereign's token and was completely annihilated."

Zhu Qiwu laughed, "Indeed, he was unlucky. That guy was severely injured before, and his combat power was less than half of an ordinary Other Shore Realm being."

"Rather than continue to live miserably, it's better to die cleanly."

"I ask you, after observing my Blood Path to the Shore and reaching the Other Shore, do you have any insights?"

Lin Moryu hesitated, "Senior Zhu, I'm not sure if I should say this."

Zhu Qiwu looked at Lin Moryu strangely, "When did you become so hesitant? If you have something to say, just say it."

Lin Moryu thought for a moment and then spoke, "I feel that the Blood Path to the Shore is a shortcut."

Zhu Qiwu laughed heartily, "I thought it was something serious, but it's this. You're right; it is indeed a shortcut."

"You're worried that taking shortcuts will affect your future, right?"

Lin Moryu nodded slightly; that was indeed his concern.

Zhu Qiwu explained, "Perhaps it will have some impact, but it won't affect achieving the Saint Sovereign realm."

"As for a higher and farther path, it might be unreachable."

Lin Moryu trembled, "Unreachable?"

Zhu Qiwu shook his head, "I only heard the Hao Saint Sovereign mention it once. I don't know the specifics. You'll understand when you reach the Saint Sovereign realm."

"The Blood Path to the Shore is indeed a shortcut, relying on external forces. How could it not be a shortcut?"

"But if you don't take this shortcut, achieving the Other Shore..."

"It's hard!"

Zhu Qiwu sighed deeply, with a hint of helplessness.
