Chapter 628 - 626: How Do You Know About Matters Above the Nine Heavens?

Chapter 628: Chapter 626: How Do You Know About Matters Above the Nine Heavens?

If it weren’t for Jiang Jichen’s voice, they would likely still be enthralled, having lost themselves without waking up.

The Saint Venerable was too powerful. He could bewitch the world with a single word!

Setting all else aside, his Spiritual Power Cultivation alone was likely unparalleled in the entire Six Paths Illusion Realm.

The Saint Venerable was truly worthy of his title as the foremost expert of the Six Paths Illusion Realm in the last millennium.

But Jiang Jichen’s reaction left the crowd even more shocked and speechless.

He actually berated the Saint Venerable for dithering, calling him unmanly!

This was perhaps the first person in a thousand years to dare insult the Saint Venerable in such a way.

And so, it wasn’t just the crowd; even the Saint Venerable himself was stunned for a moment.

He had been high and mighty for so long. He never imagined that a mere mortal’s defiance could shatter his composure, instantly filling his heart with murderous rage.

But what shocked them even more was Jiang Jichen taking the initiative to charge the Saint Venerable, his attack absurdly fierce and powerful.

"Audacious mortal, how dare you insult me! Today, I, the Saint Venerable, shall act personally to obliterate every living being connected to you."

The Saint Venerable let out a cold cry, then met Jiang Jichen’s incoming fist with a punch of his own.

BOOM!

It was their first direct clash.

Each had thrown a single punch.

Their fists collided. Both of them shuddered from the impact, but neither retreated a single step.

However, countless cracks suddenly appeared in the ground beneath them, spreading in all directions.

If the Holy Mountain itself weren’t blessed and protected by a mysterious divine power, an ordinary mountain would have likely been obliterated, ceasing to exist.

After the first punch, Jiang Jichen didn’t pause for even a moment. Using his body as a weapon, he charged forward once more.

The Saint Venerable’s expression finally changed.

Clearly, Jiang Jichen’s power had exceeded his expectations. This was not someone who could be dealt with casually.

Boundless Holy Light suddenly swirled around the Saint Venerable, and in an instant, he looked like a Divine Spirit descending from the heavens.

At the same time, he opened his fist into a palm and struck out at Jiang Jichen, who was still charging him with his body as a weapon.

BOOM!

Palm and body collided, this time in midair.

Struck by the Saint Venerable’s palm, Jiang Jichen was knocked back a hundred meters. The void behind him shattered from the impact, and torrents of chaotic spacetime energy burst forth to ravage the area.

But how could the Saint Venerable, having endured the full force of Jiang Jichen’s charge, have fared any better?

Endless Holy Light erupted from beneath his feet, leaving afterimages in the void as he retreated a full hundred steps.

But in the next instant, the Saint Venerable traced the afterimages back, returning to his original position in a flash.

It was as if he had never moved at all.

Jiang Jichen’s eyes narrowed, but a mocking smile touched his lips.

"A Heavenly Dao Secret Technique, the Holy Step into the Void!"

Jiang Jichen spoke, naming the Saint Venerable’s Magic Technique with a single phrase.

The Saint Venerable, with his otherworldly air, smiled arrogantly. "A mere mortal, you have some discernment. But this is just one of my most trivial Magic Techniques. You are not worthy of witnessing a true Heavenly Dao Secret Technique!"

The Saint Venerable was incomparably arrogant. The implication was clear: Jiang Jichen wasn’t worthy enough to force him to use a true Heavenly Dao Secret Technique.

But in the next moment, Jiang Jichen smiled faintly. "A retreat is a retreat. An advance is an advance. All that showing off, wasting Spiritual Power just so you don’t have to retreat? What an idiotic Heavenly Dao Secret Technique!"

"You... You ignorant mortal! I’ll obliterate you right now!"

The Saint Venerable had been the very picture of high and mighty, peerless arrogance.

But upon hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, he flew into a rage, becoming flustered and incensed. Where was the slightest trace of his otherworldly demeanor now?

The Saint Venerable had gone completely berserk. He finally stopped holding back.

Seething with rage, he took the initiative and charged.

The Saint Venerable formed a peculiar Dharma Seal with his hands. It resembled a dragon, a phoenix, a White Tiger, a Black Tortoise, yet it was like none of them.

Seeing the strange Dharma Seal in his opponent’s hands, Jiang Jichen’s expression finally shifted. A complex emotion flickered in his eyes.

But for the most part, his expression was one of grim solemnity.

After forming the peculiar Dharma Seal, it transformed into a strange beam of light that tore through the void, shooting straight for Jiang Jichen.

The strange light grew larger as it flew. By the time it reached Jiang Jichen, it had expanded abruptly, filling the entire sky in an instant.

Then, from within the strange light, the phantoms of four Ancient Fierce Beasts leaped out.

The Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Demon Phoenix, and Black Tortoise took up positions in the four cardinal directions.

Meanwhile, the strange light hovered right above Jiang Jichen’s head.

"The Illusionary Transformation Skill! To think you can manifest four of the Ten Ancient Fiends!"

"A pity they’re just hollow imitations. Completely useless."

"What I am curious about, however, is your relationship to Yun Yaoyue of the Immortal Jade Daoist Palace in the Nine Heavens."

Standing beneath the strange light, facing the four phantom Fierce Beasts, Jiang Jichen spoke in a placid tone.

Jiang Jichen’s words, however, made the Saint Venerable’s expression change. He stared at Jiang Jichen in shock and disbelief.

"You... How is that possible? You’re a mere mortal, trash from the Human Realm! How could you possibly know about the Nine Heavens?"

"And... how could you possibly know my Aunt Yue’s name, and even know of the Immortal Jade Daoist Palace? Who are you? You must be an enemy of my Ling Family!"

the Saint Venerable demanded coldly.

"So, you’re from the Ling Family of the Nine Heavens. Heh heh... What a fateful encounter. Now it seems I have no choice but to kill you today!"

Jiang Jichen let out a strange laugh. Then, ignoring the four phantom Fierce Beasts around him, he clenched his fist and struck at the strange light hovering over his head.

This punch was stronger than any he had thrown before.

A single punch, carrying the momentum to collapse the Six Paths.

A vast, ocean-like Golden Undying Force condensed into a single Fist Seal, which contained infinite power.

When the fist flew, the heavens split and the Six Paths stirred. It seemed nothing could stop the force of this punch.

This was the Third Form of the Annihilation Fist: Six Paths Collapse!

This was also the first time Jiang Jichen had used it since reaching the Ninth Layer of Golden Body Refining.

Its power was beyond imagination.

And when the Fist Intent of Six Paths Collapse was pushed to its absolute limit, it could condense into a Six Paths Fist Seal.

One punch, and the Six Paths collapse!

But Jiang Jichen could only barely condense a single Fist Seal, yet it was enough to shatter the void and make the heavens tremble.

The four phantom Fierce Beasts that charged him could not possibly block this punch.

As for the attack from the four beasts, Jiang Jichen paid it no mind, his expression one of utter indifference.

He focused solely on pushing the Fist Intent of Six Paths Collapse to its absolute limit.

"Illusionary Transformation Skill! Four beasts, display your might! Kill!"

Although the Saint Venerable’s mind was in turmoil, unable to find calm, and though his heart was filled with endless questions, he had not forgotten that this was a battle to the death.

’Once I capture Jiang Jichen, what secrets could possibly remain hidden?’

Therefore, he held back no longer, using his strongest power to command the four phantom Fierce Beasts to surround and kill Jiang Jichen.

However, the Six Paths Collapse Fist Seal that Jiang Jichen unleashed was clearly faster.

Just as the phantom Fierce Beasts were about to lunge and tear into him, the Fist Seal had already slammed into the strange light overhead.

BOOM!

The void trembled. The strange light shattered, scattering downward like countless falling stars.

The four phantom Fierce Beasts, which had been about to pounce, froze in place before silently shattering and disappearing.

"The Illusionary Transformation Skill, ’Four Beasts Display Their Might’... if Yun Yaoyue herself were to use it, I would naturally have no chance of breaking through."

"But you? Your Dao Practice is too shallow. You’re chasing the trivial while neglecting the basics. You haven’t even perfected a single symbol, yet you attempt to wield all Four Symbols. How laughable!"

Jiang Jichen’s words struck without a shred of mercy.
