Chapter 571 - 569: Battling the Holy Envoys

Chapter 571: Chapter 569: Battling the Holy Envoys

It was the top fifteen Holy Envoys of the Holy Mountain!

The Holy Mountain had eighteen Envoys in total, and each was stronger than the last.

The three Jiang Jichen had previously slain with a single strike were merely the weakest—the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Envoys.

Now, the top fifteen Envoys had arrived at once. This was a major event, the likes of which the Six Paths Illusion Realm hadn’t seen in many years.

It was also the most significant move the Holy Mountain had made in a century.

The top five Envoys, in particular, were said to be beings who were infinitely close to the Nascent Soul Ancestor level.

They hadn’t appeared in the world for decades and were boundlessly powerful.

The Holy Mountain had now paid a world-shattering price to teleport all fifteen of them here at the same time.

It seemed the Holy Mountain was truly enraged.

They were absolutely determined to kill Jiang Jichen.

At the same time, this was also an admission of Jiang Jichen’s strength on the Holy Mountain’s part.

Otherwise, they would never have sent all fifteen top Envoys.

A force of this magnitude was typically reserved for hunting down figures like a Young Venerable or a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Witnessing such a display, the crowd knew that Jiang Jichen would not escape death this time.

Throughout the endless river of time, no one the Holy Mountain had resolved to kill, no matter the cost, had ever escaped.

Even though Jiang Jichen possessed the mythical, forbidden Seven-Colored Spiritual Vein, his Realm was simply too low. He would be no exception.

The Holy Mountain was determined to crush Jiang Jichen in the cradle.

That was why they had dispatched their top fifteen Envoys.

"Jiang Jichen, in the Six Paths Illusion Realm, the Holy Mountain’s existence is like the might of the heavens. You have dared to offend this might, and so I sentence you to death!"

"The Holy Mountain is wroth! You will die!"

"Kill him!"

Amidst the cold shouts, ten of the fifteen Holy Mountain Saint Envoys charged forward.

These Envoys were immensely powerful. Their bodies glowed with Holy Light, making them appear as sacred as Celestial Soldiers and Generals descending from on high.

The ten of them attacked from all sides, their assaults surging forward like a relentless tide.

Sword Qi, Blade Auras, Fist Seals, Finger Lights, Palm Shadows—all manner of techniques from the Dao of Ultimate Killing—merged into a tempest of annihilation that threatened to consume everything.

An attack this terrifying was infinitely close to a strike from a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Caught in the center, Jiang Jichen had nowhere to run and no path of retreat.

His only choice was to face the attack head-on.

"You should enter my Magical Artifact Space!"

Jiang Jichen, cloaked in Seven-Colored Spiritual Light, looked like a Divine Being.

He spoke calmly to the mysterious masked woman.

This time, the mysterious masked woman surprisingly did not resist and entered the Magical Artifact Space within the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment.

Now alone and facing such an onslaught, Jiang Jichen could no longer afford to hold anything back.

Within him, the Seven-Colored Spirit Sea surged endlessly as vast Seven-colored Spiritual Power coursed through his body.

The Holy Sword in Jiang Jichen’s hand vanished, replaced by Sinking Mountain.

He directly unleashed the strongest Ancient Heavenly Dao Saber Skill—Severing Ancient Times!

A single slash seemed to sever the great river of time and cleave the heavens and earth apart.

Where the Seven-Colored Blade Aura passed, the tempest of ultimate killing attacks was sliced in two.

Of course, the attack from ten Holy Mountain Saint Envoys was still terrifyingly powerful.

Even though Jiang Jichen possessed a Seven-Colored Spirit Body, his Realm was still low, and his body couldn’t help but tremble from the impact.

A spurt of blood escaped his lips, shimmering with a faint Seven-Colored light.

But Jiang Jichen acted as if nothing had happened, wielding Sinking Mountain as he charged into close combat.

Seven-Colored light flowed under his feet as he executed Shadow Step at his utmost limit, appearing before the Fifteenth Envoy of the Holy Mountain in an instant.

He swung Sinking Mountain horizontally. Seven-Colored Spiritual Light rippled as a frenzied power surged forth.

Furthermore, the 100,000-jin Sinking Mountain was imbued with the terrifying power of Jiang Jichen’s Golden Body Undying Sixth Realm.

This strike was a fusion of his power as a Seven-Colored Spirit Cultivator and his physical strength.

SPLAT!

Even the Fifteenth Envoy of the Holy Mountain was utterly powerless to resist.

Without any suspense, he was smashed into a mist of blood.

Moreover, the fusion of his Seven-Colored Spirit Cultivation and the Body Cultivation Dao put Jiang Jichen in a sublime and profound state.

With his unparalleled Step Technique, Jiang Jichen’s figure flickered a few times.

With each flicker, another mist of blood bloomed in the air.

In quick succession, three more Holy Mountain Saint Envoys were smashed into a bloody mist by Jiang Jichen’s blade, their Divine Souls annihilated.

But in the process, Jiang Jichen was also hit. His Seven-Colored Spirit Body was now covered in wounds.

He was seriously injured.

And the top five Holy Mountain Envoys had yet to even make a move.

Any one of those five was an incredibly terrifying existence.

By now, Jiang Jichen had slain four Envoys, leaving eleven!

The battle had reached a point where Jiang Jichen was finally injured and showing signs of fatigue.

However, seven of the Holy Mountain’s eighteen Envoys had now fallen. This was an unprecedented loss.

If the Holy Mountain failed to kill Jiang Jichen today, they would be utterly humiliated.

In truth, this battle held immense significance. It wasn’t just about establishing his own might; Jiang Jichen wanted to shatter the Holy Mountain’s authority.

Only by taking this first step could he declare to the world that he did not fear the Holy Mountain and had the power to contend with it.

Only then would others dare to stand with him against the Holy Mountain in the future.

But the Holy Mountain’s reaction was too swift, deploying its top Envoys immediately.

They seemed hell-bent on killing Jiang Jichen, sparing no expense.

Jiang Jichen had now reached his limit. He likely wouldn’t be able to defeat the remaining Envoys.

"Jiang Jichen, stop your futile struggles. It’s time to send you on your way!"

At this moment, Jiang Jichen was once again surrounded.

The top five Holy Mountain Saint Envoys remained still, but the other six—ranked sixth to eleventh—joined forces and attacked again.

The storm of ultimate killing attacks swirled once more, but Jiang Jichen no longer had enough power left to activate an Ultimate Killing Skill.

"Kill!"

But how could Jiang Jichen feel fear?

Ignoring the threat of death, he combined his charge with Shadow Step and rushed forward.

SPLAT! Another Envoy was smashed to pieces, a mist of blood drifting through the void.

Of course, Jiang Jichen paid a heavy price. The Seven-Colored Spiritual Light surrounding him began to dim.

His wounds were gruesome to behold.

Blood streamed freely from the gaping holes in his body.

But Jiang Jichen’s expression was calm, his battle intent still boundless as he fought on relentlessly.

As Jiang Jichen shattered another Holy Mountain Saint Envoy, a chunk of flesh was simultaneously torn from his shoulder with a sickening sound, revealing the gleaming white bone beneath.

"Jiang Jichen, I didn’t think you’d be so hard to kill, but this is where it ends!"

The remaining four Holy Mountain Saint Envoys roared in fury and charged.

They could see that Jiang Jichen’s Seven-Colored Spirit Body was mangled and were about to deliver the final, devastating blow.

However, right at that moment, Doroh’s figure suddenly appeared beside Jiang Jichen.

A ray of the Light of Life descended, enveloping his entire body.

In an instant, Jiang Jichen was as good as new.

And so, instead of retreating, Jiang Jichen pressed forward again.

"Fight!"

Jiang Jichen’s battle intent boiled over, his killing intent frenzied as he charged toward the sixth through ninth Holy Mountain Saint Envoys.

These four were also terrifyingly powerful to the extreme.

Even though he had been restored, Jiang Jichen was still no match for them and was soon covered in wounds again.

However, the four Envoys were now terrified, because Jiang Jichen was just too difficult to kill.

Doroh continuously supplied him with the Light of Life, making him nearly impossible to kill even when cornered.

"Kill that healing creature first!"

The Seventh Holy Envoy shouted and attacked Doroh.

But at that moment, Little Gray had already appeared silently beside them.

Jiang Jichen no longer bothered with defense, coordinating with Little Gray to attack the Envoys from both front and back.
