Chapter 591: Chapter 589: A Powerful Move

Jiang Jichen was now at the Golden Body Seventh Layer!

This breakthrough caused his strength to skyrocket, granting him the power to contend with some Nascent Soul Ancestors.

As for the Holy Mountain Grand Elder, he was a mere Pseudo-Nascent Soul Ancestor—not even worth Jiang Jichen’s consideration.

In just a few steps, Jiang Jichen appeared before the Holy Mountain Grand Elder.

"Jiang Jichen, you’ve only broken through to the Golden Body Seventh Layer, which is merely equivalent to a Spirit Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Early Stage Realm. Do you truly believe you’re invincible?"

The Holy Mountain Grand Elder coughed up blood. He could feel that this injury had caused him to fall completely from the Nascent Soul Ancestor Realm.

In fact, if he couldn’t seize the Immortal Demon Illusion Flower from Jiang Jichen, he would only have a few days left to live.

"I don’t know about anyone else, but against trash like you from the Holy Mountain, I am indeed invincible!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jichen was already lunging, his fist aimed to kill the Holy Mountain Grand Elder.

"Jiang Jichen, you forced my hand! Today, it’s either you die or I do!"

The Holy Mountain Grand Elder sneered, and the aura around him suddenly exploded outward.

It seemed he was on the verge of breaking through to the true Nascent Soul Ancestor Realm.

At the same time, however, his body grew even more ancient. His white hair fell out, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and his skin became as dry as old tree bark.

He was burning his life force for one last burst of power.

At this very moment, he was even stronger than he had been at his peak.

He was making one last gamble to cut down Jiang Jichen.

If he could just seize the Immortal Demon Illusion Flower, he would become even stronger and gain a long life.

The Holy Mountain Grand Elder condensed a Magic Fist Shadow to meet Jiang Jichen’s attack.

He was now fearless, confident he could take on Jiang Jichen.

Jiang Jichen’s expression remained placid, the momentum of his fist unwavering.

Golden light bloomed from his fist, as dazzling as the Taiyang itself.

The Grand Elder’s fist, on the other hand, was formed from Spiritual Power and possessed an astonishing Power of Destruction.

BOOM!

This was a collision between the fists of a Body Cultivator and a Spirit Cultivator.

Jiang Jichen stood perfectly still while the Holy Mountain Grand Elder’s Magic Fist Shadow shattered inch by inch, dissolving into the Void.

His expression was ghastly as he coughed up blood relentlessly.

But instead of retreating, he advanced, charging toward the depths of the Fire Abyss.

"Jiang Jichen, since you won’t let me live, I’ll drag you down with me!"

The Holy Mountain Grand Elder cackled and slammed his palm against the enormous furnace in the center of the Fire Abyss.

After that last exchange of blows, the Holy Mountain Grand Elder knew he was no match for Jiang Jichen at all.

Even after burning his life force and surpassing his peak, he was still no match.

Jiang Jichen, having reached the Golden Body Seventh Layer, was simply too powerful.

There were plenty of Body Refiners in the Heavenly Dao Realm, but none could possibly be this strong.

Not even someone at the Golden Body Ninth Layer was as powerful as Jiang Jichen.

’Can it be? Are Body Cultivators from the Mortal World who have resumed the Body Refining Dao this outrageously powerful?’

Despair bloomed in the Holy Mountain Grand Elder’s heart.

In the end, he chose to awaken the King-level Hell Evil Spirit slumbering within the furnace.

Watching the Grand Elder’s actions, Jiang Jichen didn’t stop him.

He spoke with domineering arrogance, "Even if you hadn’t awakened it, I would have."

"Otherwise, how would I collect the Ghost Soul Stone Kings?"

The Ghost Soul Stone Kings Jiang Jichen mentioned were, of course, the nine fist-sized Ghost Soul Stones surrounding the furnace.

And these nine Ghost Soul Stone Kings were controlled by the Hell Evil Spirit slumbering in the furnace.

"You..."

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, the Grand Elder was so agitated that his internal injuries worsened, and he coughed up more blood.

His attack suddenly became feeble.

"You’re out of strength? Here, let me give you a hand!"

Jiang Jichen took a step and abruptly appeared beside the Holy Mountain Grand Elder. He moved like lightning, grabbing the man and smashing him forcefully against the furnace.

SPLAT!

A sickening sound of crunching flesh and bone echoed out. The Holy Mountain Grand Elder was pulverized, his bloody remains splattering across the furnace only to be instantly incinerated into ash.

Immediately after, the furnace began to tremble. A terrifying aura was awakening, emanating from within.

Jiang Jichen paid it no mind, simply letting it awaken.

ROAR!

VMMMM!

The cry of an Undead being rang out, shaking the very Void.

An endless cloud of black smoke billowed out from the furnace, coalescing into a colossal, grotesque Evil Spirit with a face full of fangs.

Nine Ghost Soul Stone Kings swirled before it!

Its eyes were wide, fixed on Jiang Jichen, its killing intent surging to the heavens.

"Insignificant human, you dare disturb my slumber? Die!"

The King-level Hell Evil Spirit roared, and the nine Ghost Soul Stone Kings before it transformed into a sky-filling barrage of attacks that shot toward Jiang Jichen.

These were Mental Power attacks!

At the same time, it shrieked, leading thousands upon thousands of Hell Evil Spirits in a swarming charge at Jiang Jichen.

Before he had broken through to the Golden Body Seventh Layer, Jiang Jichen would have had no choice but to retreat from a King-level Hell Evil Spirit.

But now, endless Undying Power radiated from his body, and Seven-colored Spiritual Power coiled around him without end.

The Soul Refining Banner suddenly appeared in his hand. He immediately channeled his Seven-Colored Soul Power, pushing the banner to its limit as he swept it forward.

BOOM!

In an instant, the Seven-Colored Soul Power formed a storm that billowed forward.

Empowered by the Soul Refining Banner and amplified by Jiang Jichen’s own Seven-Colored Divine Soul Power, its might was beyond imagination.

Wherever the Seven-Color storm passed, all the Hell Evil Spirits were reduced to ash and vanished from the world.

In the end, only the King-level Evil Spirit remained, floating alone in the center of the Fire Abyss.

It trembled all over, trying to flee back into the furnace.

But Jiang Jichen was faster. Though he moved second, he arrived first, appearing right at the furnace.

Then, he gripped the furnace with a single hand.

The furnace, heavy as a mountain and weighing a million jin, was lifted by him with ease.

’This furnace is quite extraordinary. I wonder if it can collect these black flames!’

Jiang Jichen bared his teeth in a sinister grin.

The King-level Hell Evil Spirit roared.

Seeing its lair held aloft by Jiang Jichen, it was overcome with fury and charged forward to attack.

Jiang Jichen sneered. He had been waiting for this.

He raised the Soul Refining Banner and swept it toward the spirit from a distance.

BOOM!

This time, the King-level Hell Evil Spirit was torn to shreds, easily annihilated by Jiang Jichen’s attack.

At that moment, Jiang Jichen realized that the Soul Refining Banner he’d unintentionally acquired from the Library Mountain Back Courtyard was a natural counter to Undead Creatures.

Not even a King-level Hell Evil Spirit could withstand a single sweep from it.

"Collect!"

After destroying the Hell Evil Spirit, Jiang Jichen took out the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment. With a sweep over the Fire Abyss, hundreds of thousands of Ghost Soul Stones were all drawn into his Magical Artifact Space.

Along with the nine Ghost Soul Stone Kings.

With so many Ghost Soul Stones, Jiang Jichen was confident he could raise his Divine Soul to the next realm.

But he wasn’t finished. Jiang Jichen then activated the furnace, causing it to absorb all the flames from the entire Fire Abyss.

He then stored the furnace in his Magical Artifact Space as well.

And just like that, the Fire Abyss vanished, leaving behind nothing but an empty, deep pit.

This was Jiang Jichen truly living up to the principle of plucking a feather from every passing goose.

Afterward, Jiang Jichen leaped to the edge of the Fire Abyss and attacked without hesitation, obliterating all nine Elders and the Six Great Saint Envoys from the Holy Mountain with his fists.

After looting their Storage Bags, he departed with a carefree air.

As for the Black Flame Barrier, with the furnace, black flames, and Ghost Soul Stones all gone, it had naturally dissipated.

From this day forward, the Fire Prison Spirit Land was no more!
