Chapter 599: Chapter 597: The Holy Mountain Master’s Dharma Avatar

As the Soul Refining Banner absorbed the Divine Souls of the four Pseudo-Nascent Soul Ancestors, Jiang Jichen could feel it beginning to change.

It was as if a bit of its damage had been repaired, and a faint luster began to appear on its surface.

But just then, the four remaining Nascent Soul Ancestors suddenly gave up on killing Jiang Jichen. Instead, they all charged toward Xuanyuan Qingyi and the two Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Xuanyuan Clan.

"Stay calm and keep working on the seal. I’ll handle this!"

Jiang Jichen’s voice rang out, steadying the two Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Xuanyuan Clan.

Xuanyuan Qingyi, however, needed no such reminder from Jiang Jichen. It was as if she had completely forgotten that a world-shaking battle was raging right beside her.

Even with Nascent Soul Ancestors charging to kill her!

Facing certain death, she remained completely unfazed, her expression unchanged as she focused all her might on tearing open a crack in the Restriction.

Just then, the four Nascent Soul Ancestors closed in, their terrifying attacks of Destruction poised to overwhelm Xuanyuan Qingyi and the two Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Xuanyuan Clan.

If they were caught in the blast, the three of them would surely die!

But Jiang Jichen directly executed the Void Shadowless Technique, appearing beside Xuanyuan Qingyi in a flash, as if he had teleported.

He pushed his Divine Soul, which was at the Extreme Nascent Soul Realm, to its absolute limit, then urged the Soul Refining Banner to its own Extreme Realm.

At this moment, not even Jiang Jichen himself knew how powerful the Soul Refining Banner would become.

HUMMM!

A Seven-Colored light suddenly erupted from the Soul Refining Banner, shooting straight into the sky.

The Seven-Colored radiance shook the world.

By now, who didn’t know that Jiang Jichen possessed the mythical, Forbidden Level Seven-Colored Spirit Vein?

The moment the Seven-Colored Spiritual Light flared, everyone knew Jiang Jichen was engaged in a massive battle.

The powerful experts nearby all turned their gazes in this direction!

An expert close to the fight used a Secret Skill to project the battle scene high into the air.

This allowed everyone within a thousand miles to see what was happening.

"That’s Jiang Jichen! He’s fighting four Nascent Soul Ancestors all by himself! This..."

Seeing Jiang Jichen brandish the Soul Refining Banner, which was wreathed in Seven-Colored Spiritual Light, and sweep it toward the four Low-Tier Nascent Soul Ancestors, the onlookers were utterly shocked.

Moreover, the aura emanating from the Soul Refining Banner was astonishingly powerful.

A Seven-Colored astral wind of soul energy swept between heaven and earth.

The faces of Luo Xu, Ou Zhen, and the other two Nascent Soul Ancestors twisted in horror!

In that instant, they felt a soul-crushing pressure weigh down upon them.

That Seven-Colored astral wind could completely annihilate their Divine Souls.

"This is bad! Fall back!"

Luo Xu and Ou Zhen screamed in terror.

They had never imagined that after reaching the Nascent Soul Extreme Realm, Jiang Jichen’s Seven-Colored Divine Soul would become this powerful!

Now, by wielding the malevolent Soul Refining Banner from the Undead Realm, he could unleash the true advantage of his Seven-Colored Divine Soul.

This single attack was likely something even a Mid-Tier Nascent Soul Ancestor couldn’t block, so what hope did they have?

Screaming, they tried to retreat at top speed.

But they were still too slow.

The Seven-Colored astral wind swept across the land before them.

Wherever it passed, any being with a soul was instantly annihilated, plunging everything into a deathly silence.

Luo Xu, Ou Zhen, and the other two Low-level Nascent Soul Ancestors had only just retreated a few hundred meters when their bodies suddenly froze. They stopped moving completely, their life force utterly extinguished.

Their souls had been shattered; they were as dead as could be.

Four Low-level Nascent Soul Ancestors had descended from the Holy Mountain, fully confident they could kill Jiang Jichen and Xuanyuan Qingyi.

In the end, however, all of them were slain by Jiang Jichen alone, falling dead on the banks of the Extinct Spirit River.

SPURT!

The four Low-level Nascent Soul Ancestors were annihilated, but Jiang Jichen’s face was deathly pale, his body covered in cracks.

He looked as if he could collapse at any moment, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of vital blood.

That single attack had completely overdrawn his Divine Soul Power.

His combat strength was almost completely depleted. If another enemy were to appear now, he would have no power to fight back and could only await his death.

And it was at this very moment that several terrifyingly powerful auras began rapidly approaching.

"Jiang Jichen, so you have the power to slaughter Low-Tier Nascent Soul Ancestors. And what of it?"

"They were merely some of the Holy Mountain’s average reserves. Now, you’re powerless. Prepare to die!"

"In one hundred breaths, I will come to take your head with my own hands!"

A voice boomed from atop the Holy Mountain, echoing throughout the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

It was the Holy Mountain Master!

Everyone was utterly shocked. They could only watch as a Dharma Image materialized above the Holy Mountain, so tall it nearly touched the heavens. Its divine presence was so overwhelming that it inspired an uncontrollable urge to worship.

The Dharma Aspect appeared, vanished, and then with a single flicker, it had already reappeared far from the Holy Mountain—a thousand miles away in just a few breaths!

Such speed was astonishing to all who witnessed it!

The Extinct Spirit River was tens of thousands of miles in a straight line from the Holy Mountain, but at the Holy Mountain Master’s shocking speed, he could indeed arrive in under one hundred breaths.

"You think you can kill me with a mere Dharma Avatar? In your dreams!"

"I’ll wait for you here for a hundred breaths. After I kill your Dharma Avatar, I’ll enter the Human Emperor Cave Mansion!"

Yet, even though he looked ready to collapse at any moment, Jiang Jichen remained as defiant as ever, declaring he would slay the Holy Mountain Master’s Dharma Avatar.

One had to understand that even a mere Dharma Avatar of the Holy Mountain Master possessed the strength of a Low-Tier Nascent Soul Ancestor.

While not overwhelmingly powerful, the advantage of this Dharma Avatar was its ability to teleport across space at extreme speeds.

And yet Jiang Jichen, in his current state, still dared to boast that he would slay it?

The onlookers all thought Jiang Jichen must have gone completely mad.

Besides, after that last battle, Jiang Jichen had clearly exhausted all his trump cards. How could he possibly fight again?

Just then, Xuanyuan Qingyi suddenly condensed a drop of her own vital blood and offered it to the Human Emperor’s Prohibition.

Her body suddenly convulsed as if struck by lightning, and she collapsed into a heap, unconscious.

But in front of them, a hairline crack finally appeared in the Human Emperor’s Prohibition.

It was just large enough for one person to squeeze through.

Of course, once someone passed through, the crack in the Human Emperor’s Prohibition would close on its own.

The two Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Xuanyuan Clan had exhausted their strength and were no longer able to fight.

Jiang Jichen pulled them directly into his Magical Artifact Space.

He then stood alone before the crack in the Human Emperor’s Prohibition, his gaze fixed on the horizon.

There, the Holy Mountain Master’s Dharma Avatar rapidly descended, drawing closer and closer from the horizon.

The Holy Mountain Master’s Dharma Avatar had the appearance of a young man with a cold, severe expression.

The moment it landed, it formed its palm into a blade and slashed at Jiang Jichen’s head from thousands of meters away, truly intending to decapitate him.

The palm-blade attack was ferocious, tearing through the void and reaching Jiang Jichen’s neck in an instant.

Jiang Jichen stood his ground, unmoving. He activated the first cycle of the Demon Phoenix Technique, the Rebirth Undying Technique, and was instantly restored to his original state.

Of course, this recovery only applied to his physical wounds; his power reserves were still incredibly low.

He raised Sinking Mountain to block the blow. His body didn’t move an inch, but his face grew even paler.

He was almost at his limit!

The Holy Mountain Master’s Dharma Avatar gave a cold smirk, took a step through the void, and appeared right in front of him.

This time, it would take Jiang Jichen’s head with its own hands.

The previous palm-blade attack had just been a probe.

Now, it was getting serious.

SHING!

However, just as the Holy Mountain Master’s Dharma Avatar was reaching for his head, a flash of Sword Light suddenly appeared, aimed straight at the avatar’s vital points.
