Chapter 589: Chapter 587: If You Want to Kill Him, Defeat Me First

What incredible defense!

Everyone was shocked. Even the expressions of the Ten Great Elders and Six Great Saint Envoys from the Holy Mountain flickered.

If they failed to kill Jiang Jichen today, they could forget about maintaining their standing on the Holy Mountain.

"Go down and kill him!"

the Nascent Soul Ancestor, the Grand Elder of the Holy Mountain, spoke coldly.

With a single step, he appeared inside the Fire Abyss.

The Holy Mountain Jade Talisman floated above his head, and as a being of the Nascent Soul Ancestor Level, he was utterly fearless.

Even when swarms of Hell Evil Spirits charged at him, they were simply blasted away, unable to get close.

The nine other Great Elders and the Six Saint Envoys of the Holy Mountain gritted their teeth, activated their Holy Mountain Jade Talismans, and plunged into the Fire Abyss to attack Jiang Jichen.

The battlefield had moved from the outside into the Fire Abyss.

The spectators all gasped in shock at the sight.

Within the Fire Abyss, the Hell Evil Spirits rioted, lunging at Jiang Jichen, the Nascent Soul Ancestor, and the others.

Black flames burned around them.

For the moment, they were all unharmed, a testament to their incredible power.

"At this rate, the energy of the Holy Mountain Jade Talismans will be depleted quickly. We need to end this fast!"

the Second Holy Mountain Elder said with a grave expression.

However, Jiang Jichen ignored them completely and pressed deeper into the Fire Abyss.

"Don’t let him go any deeper! Stop him!"

The group from the Holy Mountain desperately pushed their Holy Mountain Jade Talismans to their limits and attacked with reckless abandon.

At the same time, the Nascent Soul Ancestor blocked Jiang Jichen’s path forward.

They were now in the middle section of the Fire Abyss.

The terrifyingly high temperature threatened to incinerate everything.

The power of their defenses was being steadily consumed.

Low- and Middle-Level Hell Evil Spirits continuously swarmed them.

Jiang Jichen didn’t fight back; he just pushed forward with all his might.

Even with the Nascent Soul Ancestor in front of him, he charged forward with a deafening roar.

BOOM!

Endless Undying Golden Light and Seven-Colored Spiritual Patterns surged forth.

Jiang Jichen brushed past the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

But a spray of blood splattered into the Fire Abyss as several huge, horrifying Blood Caves were torn open on Jiang Jichen’s body.

The blow had nearly cost Jiang Jichen his life.

But he had finally broken through, continuing his desperate rush toward the deepest part of the Fire Abyss.

Sensing the blood in the Fire Abyss, the Hell Evil Spirits erupted into a frenzy, charging toward the group from the Holy Mountain as well as Jiang Jichen.

In an instant, they were all submerged.

"Fall back! Under these circumstances, Jiang Jichen will surely die!"

one of the Holy Mountain members shouted.

Then, their Holy Mountain Jade Talismans exploded, blasting away the swarms of charging Hell Evil Spirits.

Seizing the opportunity, they all retreated at top speed, exiting the Fire Abyss.

By now, everyone’s Holy Jade Talisman had shattered except for the one belonging to the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

They stared at the Fire Abyss, their hearts still pounding with fear. If they had been a fraction of a second slower, their fate would have been grim.

Of course, their gains were also astonishing; each of them had casually scooped up over a thousand Ghost Soul Stones.

As for Jiang Jichen, he was now deep in the Fire Abyss, overwhelmed by even more High-Level Hell Evil Spirits. There was no way he could survive.

The group from the Holy Mountain was trapped inside the Black Flame Barrier for the time being anyway, unable to leave.

They all stood at the edge of the Fire Abyss, watching the situation unfold.

And so were the other onlookers, crowding around to watch!

They saw that Jiang Jichen had been completely overwhelmed by the Hell Evil Spirits, with no way to break free.

This... could only end with him being torn to shreds.

HUMMM!

But in the next moment, a flash of golden light emerged, illuminating the Fire Abyss.

It was the aura of the Golden Body Immortal Power.

It radiated from a horribly mangled body.

Black flames were burning his body, and countless Hell Evil Spirits were tearing at his flesh.

Yet, he simply closed his eyes and began to meditate.

The Undying Scripture and the Demon Phoenix Technique circulated ceaselessly within him.

Just a moment ago, Jiang Jichen had nearly been burned to ashes by the black flames.

But the Demon Phoenix Technique had activated on its own, preventing the black flames from incinerating him.

The Demon Phoenix Flame itself had never been able to incinerate Jiang Jichen, so naturally, these black flames couldn’t either.

However, the Hell Evil Spirits were far too terrifying.

Especially these High-Level Hell Evil Spirits from the deepest part of the Fire Abyss; he was no match for them.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Jichen would have surely died.

But now, an Immortal Demon Illusion Flower had appeared in his hand!

As he held the flower, all sorts of Anomalies manifested before him.

They were illusory, yet also real.

There were immortals speaking and laughing, and Divine Demons roaring wildly...

The Immortal Demon Illusion Flower was both immortal and demonic. Consuming it allowed one to glimpse the Immortal Dao and the Demon Dao.

The flower manifests in nine paths, scattered across various realms. Only when all nine blossoms are united does one find the true Dao.

It was the third-ranked Immortal Elixir in the Six Paths Realm, an incredibly heaven-defying item.

Even though this was just one of the nine, its medicinal effects were still astonishing, no different from an ordinary, true Immortal Elixir.

Jiang Jichen was currently absorbing the power of the Immortal Demon Illusion Flower. As his physical body was eroded by the Hell Evil Spirits, it was simultaneously repaired by the Immortal Demon Power.

This maintained his body’s integrity and kept his life force from extinguishing.

At the same time, the Undying Scripture circulated ceaselessly, subjecting his body to an astonishing tempering process.

Although Jiang Jichen’s body was a mangled wreck and his consciousness was faint, almost non-existent...

...he was assaulting the Seventh Layer barrier of the Golden Body Acupoints within him.

He had entered an incredibly profound state and was on the verge of breaking through to the Golden Body Seventh Layer.

Once he broke through, he would fear no one.

"Damn it, Jiang Jichen is still alive! And... that in his hand is the Immortal Demon Illusion Flower! This..."

"He’s trying to use it to break through in his Body Refining!"

"We absolutely cannot let him succeed!"

The Holy Mountain Cultivators at the edge of the Fire Abyss were both furious and alarmed.

They were also incredibly envious, all wanting to seize the Immortal Demon Illusion Flower for themselves.

But aside from the Nascent Soul Ancestor, none of them could set foot in the Fire Abyss Land again.

"I will go and slay him!"

the Nascent Soul Ancestor declared. Shrouded by the Holy Mountain Jade Talisman, he once again stepped into the Fire Abyss Land.

He took just a few casual steps and somehow appeared right in front of Jiang Jichen.

"Die!"

the Nascent Soul Ancestor roared, sending a fist flying toward Jiang Jichen.

This was the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s Magic Fist. The Dao and techniques it contained were immensely powerful and terrifying, capable of pulverizing anything.

Jiang Jichen was at a critical juncture; a single blow from the Nascent Soul Ancestor would undoubtedly kill him instantly.

In truth, the Nascent Soul Ancestor was being so proactive and aggressive mostly because he wanted to seize the Immortal Demon Illusion Flower from Jiang Jichen’s hand.

But at that very moment, the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment on Jiang Jichen’s body suddenly lit up.

Xuanyuan Qingyi appeared!

She was clad in cyan Battle Armor, resembling the world’s most beautiful Female War God.

Wielding a Cyan Blade Ancient Sword, she thrust it toward the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s incoming fist.

BOOM!

Xuanyuan Qingyi stumbled back, her face deathly pale.

But she had blocked the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s punch.

"You..."

The Nascent Soul Ancestor was not faring well either.

Attacking repeatedly was causing his lifespan to feel as if it were withering away.

If he kept this up, he feared he wouldn’t have much longer to live.

His desperation to seize the Immortal Demon Illusion Flower was precisely to extend his dwindling lifespan.

"If you want to kill him, you’ll have to defeat me first!"

A faint cyan light emerged from Xuanyuan Qingyi’s body. With a flick of her sword, she sent several nearby Hell Evil Spirits flying before speaking in a cold, clear voice.
