Chapter 633 - 631: Battling the Primogenitors

Six beings emerged from the statues!

They looked identical to the six ancestors of the Six Paths Illusion Realm, who had now come to life.

However, their faces were completely expressionless.

The crowds in the skies around the Holy Mountain only just now began to react.

At the same time, a Nascent Soul Ancestor who had lived for an incredibly long time seemed to recall something. He spoke with a hint of shock, "Legend has it that Venerable Haotian of the Heavenly Dao Realm was the leader of the six ancestors of the Six Paths Illusion Realm. He wanted the Heavenly Dao Realm to dominate the Six Paths Illusion Realm forever. So, he personally carved six statues and placed them beside the Immortal Stele. The power to awaken these statues lies within the six corresponding names on that very stele!"

"And if the Holy Mountain's Ninth Hall is ever destroyed, even if Jiang Jichen doesn't set foot on the Peak of the Holy Mountain, the six statues in the Tenth Hall will awaken and execute any invader!"

The Nascent Soul Ancestor's words left the surrounding crowd utterly astounded.

These were secrets that likely only a few individuals of extraordinary status knew.

For instance, the descendants of the six great ancestors of the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

When Xuanyuan Qingyi saw this, she too recalled this clan legend.

No one could have ever imagined that the Holy Mountain's Tenth Hall would contain six statues.

But now, everything was clear.

"These six beings are manifestations of rules. Venerable Haotian's talent was world-shaking. Even in his youth, he had already touched upon the path of Supreme rules."

"So, to put it plainly, Jiang Jichen is now fighting against the Power of Rules manifested by a young Venerable Haotian!"

"Of course, the terrifying part is that these rules have manifested the Dao and techniques of the six great ancestors. Within the Six Paths Illusion Realm, who could possibly stand against them?"

...

Another Cultivator, a descendant of one of the six ancestors, spoke up.

The moment his voice fell, the six beings moved their hands in a blur, suddenly scattering rays of light made of rules that completely enveloped the Holy Mountain.

They were sealing the mountain!

Seeing this, how could the crowd not know what the six beings intended to do?

They were sealing off the Holy Mountain, leaving no one a path of escape.

Not only did they intend to kill Jiang Jichen, but they also planned to eliminate everyone who dared to offend the Holy Mountain.

The punch Jiang Jichen had thrown was already obliterated by the terrifying Power of Rules.

After sealing the mountain, the six beings stared at him with cold indifference.

Although they were formed from rules, they were strikingly lifelike, identical to the real six ancestors of the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

This was because the Power of Rules could manifest them using the names left on the Immortal Stele by the six ancestors and their lingering auras in the Endless Void.

This just went to show how terrifying Venerable Haotian, the leader of the six ancestors, had been in his youth.

But even facing these six phantoms of the ancestors, Jiang Jichen showed not a hint of fear.

He could sense that, even as manifestations of rules, the realms of these six ancestors were still limited to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

Therefore, this was his only hope, his only chance to fight back.

SWOOSH!

The first to strike was the Beastman Realm's ancestor, the Jade-horned Serpent.

She transformed into a serpentine form. A jade horn grew from the top of her head, and her entire body was as translucent as carved jade.

The Jade-horned Serpent was not technically a Beastman, but she held an unparalleled, transcendent status in the Beastman Realm. Her bloodline talent was incredibly potent.

Legend said that upon reaching the peak of her evolution, she could transform into a Demon Dragon!

Her speed was extreme. Like a flash of lightning, she tore through the void, her jade horn aimed straight at Jiang Jichen.

Jiang Jichen pushed his Seven-Colored Divine Thought to its limit and activated Heart Hidden Heaven and Earth, but he could only just barely capture a blurry shadow of her form.

He swung Sinking Mountain horizontally without a moment's hesitation!

BOOM!

The jade horn clashed with Sinking Mountain. Jiang Jichen stood firm, not moving an inch, while the Jade-horned Serpent was knocked back. She reverted to her human form, the jade horn transforming into a weapon in her hand.

She was exceptionally beautiful and alluring, but her expression was utterly cold and indifferent.

This was clearly a consequence of being a manifestation of rules.

After reverting to her human form, she attacked again.

The jade horn in her hand, like a Vajra Scepter, traced a mysterious arc as it stabbed toward Jiang Jichen.

Everywhere it passed, the void was pierced through!

At the same time, Aloshi, the Asura Ancestor, brandished an Asura Saber and flashed forward to slash at Jiang Jichen.

This Aloshi was incredibly ugly, with a wide mouth, small eyes, and a face covered in countless pockmarks.

He teleported and slashed, directly tearing the void as he attacked Jiang Jichen from another blind spot.

Then there was Soul Rain, the ancestor of the Undead Realm. Her body swirled and transformed into a raincloud, which drifted above Jiang Jichen's head.

The ultimate technique, Soul Rain, was renowned throughout the Six Paths.

Anyone touched by the Soul Rain would have their Divine Soul devoured.

In addition to these three, the ancestor of the Dark Realm, An Yuesi, also transformed into a patch of shadow and swept toward Jiang Jichen.

Wherever the shadow passed, the world around Jiang Jichen suddenly turned into a void of nothingness.

Even his Divine Thought perception began to blur.

This was An Yuesi's ultimate technique, the Shadow World!

It could conceal the attackers, hiding them in an instant.

Most frighteningly, it could also block Divine Thought.

Fortunately, Jiang Jichen possessed a Seven-Colored Perfect Realm Divine Thought, so he was not significantly affected.

Otherwise, he would have been left standing there, waiting for death.

At this moment, only the Human Emperor and Venerable Haotian had yet to make a move.

But seeing the terrifying techniques of just those four attacking simultaneously, no one believed Jiang Jichen had any hope of survival.

Jiang Jichen was at the center of a terrifying, ultimate killing assault.

And yet, he was perfectly calm.

His Golden Body Ninth Layer and Nine Secrets Unity had long been surging with power, pushed to their absolute limits.

Jiang Jichen gripped Sinking Mountain, closed his eyes, and unfurled his Divine Thought.

'Since my eyes are useless in this Shadow World, I'll rely on my Divine Thought and let my instincts guide me.'

With ultimate killing blows coming from every direction, he had no path of retreat.

The Jade-horned Serpent's horn pierced the air!

Asura Shi's Asura Blade Technique!

Soul Rain's soul-devouring ultimate technique!

An Yuesi's Shadow World!

Four people, four techniques—each one was incomparably powerful, world-destroying, and utterly unavoidable.

Jiang Jichen stood his ground, Sinking Mountain a blur in his hands.

Great Wind Saber Technique!

He swung the great saber, creating a gale that swept away the clouds. Everything in its path was shredded to pieces.

Each slash conjured a Saber Aura Storm.

Furthermore, once started, the Saber Aura Storm was relentless, with one wave following another in an endless barrage.

He surrounded himself with the Saber Aura, using offense as his defense, and managed to momentarily stall the four attacks.

Then, Jiang Jichen unleashed his strongest technique—the Heaven-Dominating Saber Technique.

The Heaven-Dominating Saber Technique was both a Spirit Cultivation Saber Technique and a Body Refining Saber Technique.

At this moment, he used his Body-Spirit Fusion to execute this Saber Technique.

Sweeping the Six Harmonies!

Suppression of the Eight Desolates!

Dominate the World!

Jiang Jichen executed the first three forms of the Heaven-Dominating Saber Technique to their utmost limit.

Blade Auras flickered. Amidst the brilliant golden light, traces of seven-colored radiance swirled.

The power of both Body and Spirit, pushed to their extremes, was poured entirely into this Saber Technique.

Logically, the Heaven-Dominating Saber Technique should have ended after these three forms.

But not this time. After the three saber forms slashed out in all directions, the four attackers were finally forced to reveal themselves.

However, their assault didn't stop. As strong as the three saber forms were, they were not enough to stop them.

They had already closed the distance and were now upon him.

But Jiang Jichen's expression remained unchanged. His Saber Momentum continued to flow as he began to execute the fourth form.
