Chapter 616 - 614: Golden Body 9th Realm

Chapter 616: Chapter 614: Golden Body 9th Realm

Jiang Jichen... he wasn’t dead!

How was this possible?

The surrounding crowd, the traitorous disciples of the Luochen Sect, the Holy Mountain Cultivators—all of them stared in disbelief at the figure who looked like a Divine Being.

The man they believed to be dead had suddenly appeared before them, alive and well.

And what’s more, he had made such a domineering entrance.

A single ray of golden light had shot across the horizon and directly obliterated five Mid-Tier Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Just... how powerful did one have to be to do that?

Beyond the shock of Jiang Jichen’s unexpected return, they were even more stunned by his boundless strength.

At the Luochen Sect’s moment of life and death, in its final hour, the king had returned, plunging the world into a brief silence.

After a moment, wild roars suddenly erupted from within the Luochen Sect.

"The Sect Leader is invincible! The king has returned!"

"Luochen will not fall! We will destroy the Holy Mountain!"

It was Little Haas who led the chant, shouting in excitement.

Then all the sect members joined in, their voices united in a frenzied cry.

It was a roar of fury that had been suppressed to its absolute limit!

Even more, it was the joy of being reborn from despair!

The frenzied cheers of the Luochen Sect disciples echoed throughout the entire Luochen Domain and across the heavens.

"Haha... who gives a damn about some Saint Venerable? My boss is back! The day we storm their peak is at hand!"

Han Qing, now full of confidence, clamored loudly, looking every bit the arrogant badass.

Xuanyuan Qingyi, Ye Rou, and the others finally let out a sigh of relief.

When Suu Luo saw Jiang Jichen return unharmed, the grave expression on her stunningly beautiful face vanished, replaced by a lighthearted, playful smile.

"Go get ’em, Brother Jichen! Wipe the floor with all of them! Suu Luo will always be your strongest supporter!"

At this moment, Suu Luo had completely lost her composure, hopping about like the girl next door, clenching her small fists and waving them gently.

Where was the slightest trace of the Asura Young Venerable in her demeanor now?

It was impossible to connect this to the invincible, domineering figure who had previously fought against three Young Venerables and one Holy Mountain Master.

On the Luochen Sect’s side, the atmosphere was fervent and ecstatic.

The earlier oppression and despair were gone.

Because they had always believed that as long as their Sect Leader was here, any enemy could be annihilated.

"Jiang Jichen, so you weren’t dead. Very good. We’ll just have to kill you again and present your head to the Saint Venerable!"

A Saint Venerable Envoy spoke with indifference.

The three Young Venerables and the Holy Mountain Master also closed in, intending to join forces against Jiang Jichen.

For they could already sense Jiang Jichen’s extraordinary power.

Seeing Jiang Jichen surrounded by so many powerful figures, Xuanyuan Qingyi and Suu Luo moved to help him.

Jiang Jichen spoke to them, "Suu Luo, Qingyi, you two guard the sect gates. I am all that is needed here!"

His voice was filled with powerful confidence, carrying a reassuring quality.

No longer needing to assist Jiang Jichen, Xuanyuan Qingyi fixed her cold gaze upon Ling Feng and the three surviving Mid-Tier Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Meanwhile, the members of the Luochen Sect glared menacingly at the five thousand traitors in their midst.

However, everyone’s attention was still focused on the sky above.

There, Jiang Jichen stood in the center, surrounded by three Young Venerables, the Holy Mountain Master, and three Saint Venerable Envoys.

This was equivalent to seven top-tier Nascent Soul Ancestors joining forces to suppress and kill Jiang Jichen.

"Isn’t Jiang Jichen being too arrogant? He actually refused help from Xuanyuan Qingyi and Asuluo and wants to take on nine by himself!"

"Hmm, to be able to fight seven top-tier Nascent Soul Ancestors at once... I’m afraid only an Extreme Dao Nascent Soul Ancestor could possibly do that. Could Jiang Jichen have reached that realm?"

"Absolutely not. There are probably no more than five Extreme Dao Nascent Soul Ancestors in the entire Six Paths Illusion Realm."

"Then why is he so certain of himself?"

...

The surrounding crowd was utterly shocked, murmuring amongst themselves.

As for Jiang Jichen, the golden light around his body had already receded as he floated in the air.

Right now, he looked just like an ordinary Cultivator, with nothing remarkable about him.

Only his star-like eyes would occasionally flash with a flicker of golden flame.

The reason for his earlier ferocity and world-illuminating golden light was that he had just successfully broken through.

The Golden Body Ninth Layer, on the verge of the Sacred Body!

That’s right, he was now at the Golden Body Ninth Layer Peak Realm.

He was just one step away from entering the Holy Body Realm, where he could fight Divine Demons.

But this single step was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, not easily crossed.

In both ancient times and the present age, countless people had been trapped at the Golden Body Ninth Layer Peak Realm, gazing toward sainthood for a lifetime only to die old and full of regret.

Because there is a distinction between mortal and saint; a single step feels like an eternity apart!

Mortal Body, Innate, Golden Body, Sacred Body!

Even in his past life’s Body Refining, Jiang Jichen had only reached the peak of the major realm above the Sacred Body.

And at that time, he had already cultivated the Undying Scripture to the Ninth Turn Extreme Realm, claiming an Invincible Domain and a Dao Body Indestructible, yet he was still obliterated in the end!

So, the so-called Invincible Domain was only invincible within certain limits.

Beyond that domain were existences of another, higher level.

’Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been obliterated and reborn.’

Therefore, in his cultivation this life, Jiang Jichen had always walked a path of surpassing his limits.

In the Source of the Life Spirit River, Jiang Jichen had pushed his limits again and again.

Through a hundred battles and the cycles of the six paths, he remained undying!

That was a conviction, and even more so, a will to fight.

Of course, his ultimate success in breaking through was inseparable from his Supreme Technique and a year of monstrous tempering.

Otherwise, no matter how strong one’s conviction and fighting spirit, they would be nothing but illusions.

The Golden Body Ninth Layer was equivalent to the Spirit Cultivator’s Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

With his Undying Power having reached the peak of this realm, his strength was immense and inexhaustible.

Thus, the moment Jiang Jichen broke through to the Golden Body Ninth Layer Realm, a frenzied power spread throughout his entire body.

His vast Undying Power burned like a raging fire.

Jiang Jichen had punched a crack in the Human Emperor’s Prohibition and then, borrowing the frenzied power of his breakthrough, transformed into a golden meteor that streaked across the sky, crossing a hundred thousand li in an instant to appear at the Luochen Sect.

Of course, only in that instant of breaking through to the Golden Body Ninth Layer Realm could the explosive burst of pure Physical Strength trigger the Space-Time Rule, allowing him to tear through the void and cross a hundred thousand li in a flash!

After the breakthrough was complete, this profound power would disappear, and he would return to his normal Golden Body Ninth Layer Realm level.

And now, the fact that the golden light around Jiang Jichen had receded meant that his breakthrough was complete.

Golden Body Ninth Layer Realm. A feeling of boundless, immense power filled his entire body.

The vast, ocean-like Undying Power surged within the three major bodily acupoints of Mortal Body, Innate, and Golden Body.

Having just broken through, he needed a battle to test and familiarize himself with his current power.

Therefore, facing the three Young Venerables, the Holy Mountain Master, and the three Saint Venerable Envoys, not only did he not have the slightest intention of retreating, but he was actually excited, his will to fight endless and his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

"Then what’s with all the nonsense? Fight!"

In response to the Saint Venerable Envoy’s words, Jiang Jichen replied domineeringly and took the initiative to charge toward him.

He was ferocious beyond belief.
