Chapter 632 - 630: 6 Statues

Chapter 632: Chapter 630: 6 Statues

However, even though Jiang Jichen had obliterated a Saint Venerable, he still had to face the unknown power hidden within the Holy Mountain Tenth Hall!

Jiang Jichen’s chances of survival still seemed slim.

For endless ages, the Immortal Stele had stood upon the Peak of Holy Mountain.

Countless geniuses had their names carved upon it!

Even if they had already left the Six Paths Illusion Realm, their names remained, immortalized on the Immortal Stele.

Some of those named on the stele may have already perished, but many more had become Supreme figures renowned throughout the Six Paths Realm.

The Immortal Stele was mystical; as long as one met the criteria, their name would automatically be branded upon it.

Anyone who could make it onto the Holy Mountain Immortal Stele’s list was an invincible genius of great renown in the Six Paths Realm!

However, Jiang Jichen had now swept through all the experts of the Six Paths Illusion Realm, even obliterating a Saint Venerable with a single punch.

Thus, the names on the Holy Mountain Immortal Stele seemed to have lost all meaning.

The Holy Mountain Tenth Hall was surprisingly the smallest!

It consisted of only a single temple, its great doors tightly shut.

Jiang Jichen stood before this temple. Beyond it lay the highest point of the Holy Mountain.

There, an Immortal Stele stood tall in the air, the names upon it flickering with a strange light.

Jiang Jichen even saw his own name, ranked just above that of the Saint Venerable.

Their two names were already at the very top of the Immortal Stele.

But above them, there were shockingly six other names!

These were the six strongest individuals to have ever entered the Six Paths Illusion Realm since time immemorial.

The Immortal Light emanating from their names was blindingly brilliant, Eternal and inextinguishable.

The Holy Mountain Immortal Stele was just on the other side of the temple, and Jiang Jichen could even sense the aura of the Mysterious Ancient Jade from within it.

That aura caused his Source Character Qi Condensing Technique to accelerate its circulation.

At this moment, however, Jiang Jichen’s heart was a sea of calm.

He had crossed countless mountains and rivers, traversed various Illusion Realms, and slain innumerable foes to get here.

The path of blood he walked, paved with piles of bones, was all for the Mysterious Ancient Jade hidden within the Immortal Stele behind the temple.

Now, it was right before his eyes, separated from him by only a single temple.

He should have been excited, thrilled, but Jiang Jichen knew that until it was in his hands, it wasn’t his.

Moreover, he could feel a terrifying pressure emanating from within the temple!

He feared that getting past this temple would be a hundred times more difficult than killing the Saint Venerable.

The path forward might even lead to certain death.

Yet, Jiang Jichen had no regrets and would not retreat.

Cultivation was, by its very nature, a struggle for life in the face of death.

Even facing certain death, one must defy the heavens and change their fate, seizing destiny and life with their own hands.

He might still fail in the end, but he had to give it his all. He would only know the outcome after he had fought.

From the day he began cultivating the Ancient Source Character Scripture, Jiang Jichen had known what kind of path he was destined to walk.

If he hadn’t chosen this heaven-defying path of the strong, he might have lived a longer life.

But his fate would have remained unchanged.

Even after ascending to the Nine Heavens, he would still have been cast back down to the Mortal World.

Therefore, if he was to be peerlessly strong, he had to be peerlessly strong to the very end.

’I will not fear, not retreat, and not regret! I will press forward, ever fighting, never ceasing!’

’Kill!’

Jiang Jichen roared in his heart, raised his fist, and unleashed a devastating blow!

BOOM!

The ancient temple before him disintegrated under his punch, vanishing into the Void.

Then, six statues appeared before the world.

The people of the world all recognized these six statues.

They couldn’t believe that there were only these six statues in the Holy Mountain Tenth Hall.

But they also had a nagging feeling that these six statues were somehow different from the ones they had seen before.

After all, if they were just simple statues, there would be no reason to enshrine them in the temple of the Holy Mountain Tenth Hall.

Jiang Jichen stared quietly at the six statues!

The six statues looked somewhat dilapidated. Over countless eons, their outer layers had peeled away, leaving them mottled with decay.

On the surface, they appeared utterly ordinary.

Jiang Jichen recognized all six statues and had heard their legends. They were peerless figures renowned throughout the Six Paths.

One was Venerable Haotian of the Heavenly Dao Realm!

One was Aloshi of the Asura Realm!

One was An Yuesi of the Dark Realm!

One was Soul Rain of the Undead Realm!

One was the Jade-horned Serpent of the Beastman Realm!

And one was the Human Emperor of the Human Realm!

They were the six legendary beings.

The Six Paths Illusion Realm had existed since ancient times, and these six beings were the first and strongest pioneers to enter it.

Therefore, they were revered by the people of each realm within the Six Paths Illusion Realm as their primordial ancestors.

They were also known as the Six Primordial Ancestors of the Six Paths Illusion Realm!

And now, standing in the temple of the Holy Mountain Tenth Hall were the statues of these Six Primordial Ancestors.

This scene was undoubtedly astonishing and somewhat hard to believe.

Logically speaking, wasn’t the Holy Mountain Tenth Hall supposed to house the Holy Mountain’s unknown power?

How had it turned out to be the statues of the Six Primordial Ancestors?

Didn’t this mean that Jiang Jichen could ascend to the Peak of Holy Mountain without any obstruction?

Jiang Jichen’s fighting spirit was soaring and his killing intent was boundless; he had been preparing for a huge battle.

But after annihilating the ancient temple with one punch, he found he had no target for his power.

’Should I just destroy these six statues with another punch?’

But just as the thought arose, something suddenly occurred to Jiang Jichen.

A chill ran down his spine!

It was a thought that everyone else would likely have overlooked.

His previous punch had been incomparably powerful, turning the ancient temple to dust.

But... why were the six statues completely unscathed?

Under the force of that terrifying blow, the ground in a thirty-foot radius around them remained utterly spotless.

’This is bad!’

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in Jiang Jichen’s heart.

Without hesitation, he raised his fist and struck out at the six statues.

But at that very moment, the Holy Mountain Immortal Stele suddenly erupted with an Immortal Light ten times more intense than before.

Following that, six names, shimmering with dazzling Immortal Light, detached themselves from the Immortal Stele.

Haotian, Aloshi, An Yuesi, Soul Rain, the Jade-horned Serpent, the Human Emperor!

Their Immortal Light illuminated the world, floating high in the Void for all to see.

Moreover, these were the very same six names ranked above Jiang Jichen on the Immortal Stele.

The six names appeared in the Void and then, as if drawn by some unseen force, transformed into streaks of light and shot toward the six statues.

A Seven-Color light flowed in Jiang Jichen’s eyes. He saw that the six names corresponded perfectly with the six statues.

BUZZ!

When the six names sank into the six statues, the formerly dilapidated and mottled figures suddenly burst forth with infinite Immortal Light.

And then, they... moved!

Not only that, but the statues’ outer shells cracked open, and six figures stepped out from within.

These were six living beings!

The six statues had come to life!

Everyone watched this scene in utter shock, completely unable to believe their eyes.

But Jiang Jichen understood.

So, the six statues were the unknown power of the Holy Mountain Tenth Hall.

If he wanted to set foot on the Peak of Holy Mountain, he had to defeat these six beings.

’In that case, there is only one thing left to do: fight!’

Battle intent erupted from Jiang Jichen as he charged forward to kill.
