Chapter 2984: Chapter 2987: Zhu Qian’s Killing Intent

At the foot of the mountain where the Dao formation is located.

Zhao Buzu, Qiu Wenqing, and Leng Qingtian sit cross-legged around Jiang Chen and the others, adjusting their breath with their eyes closed.

Tai Yuan and the other six academy heads stared at the mountain ahead with peculiar expressions.

"It’s been half a month already, why is there no movement?"

A dean questioned, puzzled.

Since the intense battle on the first day Jiang Chen and others entered the great formation, there hasn’t been any battle in the formation for this half month.

Currently, twenty-one students from the Six Great Academies, Integration Path students, and those from Canghai Academy and Changling Academy have all been injured by Jiang Chen and have exited the Dao formation, leaving only eight students at the Saint Realm.

None of the twenty-one could do anything to Jiang Chen and his allies, leaving only these eight; no dean expected that they could capture Jiang Chen and the others.

But within Fu Zhujiang and others’ hearts, even if these eight are no match, couldn’t they at least disrupt Jiang Chen’s cultivation a bit? Why has there been no movement for half a month now?

"Pull one out and ask what they’re doing in there?"

Zhu Qian said with a displeased expression.

At this moment, he already guessed what those inside were doing, but he felt somewhat unbalanced.

Why are the students from our academy still suffering severe Primordial Spirit injuries and haven’t awakened, while your academy’s people are cultivating inside?

The faces of the other deans slightly changed, as they also perceived this possibility.

Those eight likely realized they couldn’t do anything about Jiang Chen and, rather than waste effort, decided to use the opportunity to cultivate.

The deans were willing for them to do so; after all, the Dao Origin Place doesn’t open on whim, requiring the visit from Void Nether Academy, else it would need ten more years to open—this opportunity is quite rare.

The students inside are elites from their academies, and seizing the opportunity to cultivate reflects positively on their institutions.

"What? Are you satisfied now, not wanting to seize a few more spots?"

Zhu Qian coldly glanced at the four, excluding Tai Yuan, fixing his gaze on Fu Zhujiang.

Fu Zhujiang’s face slightly shifted, feeling a surge of dissatisfaction.

Yet he was without choice; while others could ignore Zhu Qian, he could not. He still wished to cooperate with Zhu Qian, targeting Jiang Chen. He didn’t have the courage to act alone.

With two academy heads targeting, even if Void Nether Academy becomes displeased, as long as they don’t kill Jiang Chen, they must consider whether they want to simultaneously offend two academies.

A single tree struggles to support on its own; two academy heads united are better than facing alone.

Upon this thought, Fu Zhujiang’s mind shifted.

Buzz!

Space fluctuated slightly, and a figure appeared before Fu Zhujiang with a puzzled look.

"Qiu Ming, what are you doing inside? Why no actions for half a month?"

Fu Zhujiang knowingly asked, signaling to that student.

"Dean, we are trying to break the formation!"

Qiu Ming’s eyes spun, showing a troubled expression: "Jiang Chen has set up a matrix within a matrix in the formation, seemingly a fusion array, combining trapping and maze formations, and suppressed our domains. We can’t use domain probes, and have to explore bit by bit, having found only over a hundred formation eyes."

"Can he really suppress your domains with Primordial Spirit Power? All eight of you erupting domains would still be suppressed by him alone?"

Zhu Qian spoke full of disbelief.

"Dean Zhu, we truly are suppressed."

Qiu Ming softly explained: "He can’t completely suppress our domains, but just a momentary suppression allows him to break our domains. He wields an extremely blood-curdling power that instantly tears through our domains; we’re helpless."

"Instantly tearing your domains? Impossible, it’s surely not power he can wield!"

Zhu Qian’s face shifted upon the words, shouting lowly.

Fu Zhujiang’s eyes spun, turning towards Zhao Buzu beside him: "Zhao Zun, if they used some Dao treasures from Void Nether Academy to clear the challenges, that’s against the rules!"

"My Void Nether Academy isn’t as unscrupulous as yours!"

Zhao Buzu shot Fu Zhujiang a glance, directly retorting.

Fu Zhujiang’s face shifted slightly, a hint of anger emerging in his eyes; yet he dared not speak, Zhao Buzu was a Supreme Pinnacle strong one, while he was just Upper Supreme, able to voice opinions by title, but an affront could lead to dire consequences.

However... Jiang Chen indeed possesses such power? What level of power allows him, in Primordial Spirit state, to easily tear the fields of those at the same stage? If only I could obtain that...

A glimpse of greed flashed deep within Fu Zhujiang’s eyes.

"How is this possible!?"

Zhu Qian’s face shifted, revealing solemnity in his eyes.

He contemplated more than Fu Zhujiang; Jiang Chen couldn’t possibly harbor such power himself—domains can be suppressed, damaged in battle, but tearing a Saint’s domain swiftly, even for Saint Monarch strong ones, is extremely difficult.

The domain is a crystallization of one’s power; even against a Saint with Saint Monarch strength, suppression only renders a Saint powerless, a victim at their mercy.

Yet instantaneously breaking a Saint’s domain isn’t feasible with similar strength.

Saint Monarch, indeed, can also be described as Saint Realm, only classifying domains internally versus externally.

A Saint’s power, excluding Primordial Spirit Power, gathers within the domain, with an exception —the physical body.

The physical body isn’t initially Dao, yet if refined to the utmost, it too can become Dao. When Physical Body Power ascends to Power of the Great Dao, merging with the domain, the Domain Power transforms into the physical body, leading to Saint Monarch.

Yet, easily tearing a Saint’s domain necessitates Supreme Realm strength—an axiom.

Domains are rounds of space; rounds are the heavens!

Any forces within the heaven and earth Great Dao cannot readily tear a domain, only overwhelming power, potent enough for destruction, but easy tearing demands forces from outside heaven’s Great Dao—personal Great Dao power.

Supreme cultivates the personal Great Dao, within the heavens cultivates my Dao, my Dao reigns, thus Supreme!

Jiang Chen certainly harbors a great figure’s power!

That force was unquestionably gifted by a supreme entity to Jiang Chen when he was weaker, aiding him in mastery, else Jiang Chen couldn’t have perfectly wielded it!

At that moment, Zhu Qian considered many things, a ruthless shade emerging deep within his eyes.

Jiang Chen must die!

Once dead, both the power and Physical Body Path can be mine!

Commanding the Physical Body Path, I could instantly reach Supreme Pinnacle!

Knowing it’s truly the Physical Body Path, not merely Physical Strength achieving the Great Dao Power level!

Achieving Supreme Pinnacle, further harnessing that supreme power in Jiang Chen’s body, I shall be invincible beneath the Realm Lord!

Zhu Qian’s heart surged with mighty waves, feeling he discovered a shortcut to strength—a shortcut pointing towards Jiang Chen!
