Chapter 636 - 634: The Four-Kill Declaration

He had ascended the Holy Mountain, slain the Saint Venerable, and annihilated the First Ancestors!

Such a feat was unprecedented in the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

With this accomplishment, Jiang Jichen had already established a supreme authority in the hearts of all Cultivators in the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

It was a presence even greater than the might of the Celestial Dao!

After all, even the Saint Venerable, whose might rivaled the heavens, had been obliterated by a single punch from Jiang Jichen.

In the entire Six Paths Illusion Realm, who would dare to act against him?

What they should be more worried about now was what kind of reshuffling Jiang Jichen would enact after becoming the new overlord of the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

Furthermore, Xuanyuan Qingyi was one of those in power in the Luochen Sect.

They remembered how they had treated the Human Realm before, enslaving and slaughtering the Human Race.

'After this, how will Xuanyuan retaliate? Will she slaughter us all in return?'

These terrifying thoughts spread through the crowd, causing some to tremble uncontrollably, their faces turning deathly pale.

Therefore, even though Xuanyuan Qingyi didn't have her sect members guard the Holy Mountain, absolutely no one dared to offend Jiang Jichen's supreme might.

Killing God Jiang Jichen!

This name would echo through the Six Paths Illusion Realm for eternity!

On the Peak of the Holy Mountain, beneath the Immortal Stele, Jiang Jichen had already entered a state of complete absorption, focused on his breakthrough.

Just moments ago, Jiang Jichen had obtained the subsequent part of his Cultivation Technique and directly broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Realm!

He had used the power of the Nascent Soul Middle Realm to annihilate the six First Ancestors.

But before, Jiang Jichen had suppressed his cultivation far too much.

Now that he had the next part of the Cultivation Technique, his breakthrough was unstoppable, like a hot knife through butter.

The transformation within his body continued, and at the same time, the two sections of the Ancient Source Character Scripture echoed in his mind.

"All things can return to nothingness, all spirits can be refined into source; the Human Body Cosmos holds infinite mysteries..."

This was the opening of the Ancient Source Character Scripture, which had supported his cultivation up to the Spirit Infant Extreme Realm.

This section focused on refining spirit into the body, altering one's constitution, unlocking the Seven-Colored Spiritual Vein Physique, and laying the foundation to activate the Human Body Cosmos.

"The vast heavens are distant, indifferent, and merciless. The Dao Spirit is without spirit, for all is of the Heavenly Source. The Human Body Cosmos undergoes a myriad of changes, breathing the universe in and out, without end..."

This was the advanced section of the Ancient Source Character Scripture. As for what Realm it could support his cultivation to, that remained unknown.

This section focused on unlocking the mysteries of the Human Body Cosmos, communicating from within to without with the distant and merciless Heavenly Dao.

It could give rise to all sorts of mystical transformations and Divine Techniques within his body, making him increasingly powerful.

He might even be able to truly manifest his body as a cosmos, capable of breathing the universe in and out.

The advanced section of the Ancient Source Character Scripture was truly wondrous beyond words!

From these two sections of the Ancient Scripture, and the fact that the Mysterious Ancient Jade was still incomplete, Jiang Jichen knew there had to be one final part of the Cultivation Technique.

Only by finding the complete Ancient Source Character Scripture would he have a chance to find his own ultimate Great Dao.

However, that was a matter for the future.

For now, he needed to focus on cultivating the middle section of the Ancient Source Character Scripture to the Extreme Realm.

Jiang Jichen vigorously circulated the now more complete Ancient Source Character Scripture. The Seven-colored Spiritual Power in his body was as vast and boundless as the sea.

His Spirit Infant, wreathed in seven-colored light, appeared incomparably sacred.

When he first stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm and the Spirit Infant opened its eyes, they had been filled with confusion.

Now, however, the Spirit Infant's eyes radiated with a seven-colored light—a clear sign of an exceptionally powerful soul.

The true, perfect fusion of Jiang Jichen's Seven-Colored Soul with his Seven-colored Spirit Infant was a long and arduous process.

He sat beneath the Immortal Stele, utterly still, like an old monk in silent, austere cultivation.

Moreover, with the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment in hand, countless Mid-Tier Six Paths Spirit Stones turned to dust, their Spiritual Power completely drained and refined by Jiang Jichen.

With every breakthrough, the amount of Spiritual Power Jiang Jichen required was unimaginably vast.

This time, breaking through from the Spirit Infant Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm—and charging directly for the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm at that—required more than a thousand times the Spiritual Power of his previous advancements!

Fortunately, Jiang Jichen's supply of Six Paths Spirit Stones was endless.

Otherwise, this breakthrough would have been absolutely impossible to complete.

But even though he possessed a mountain of Six Paths Spirit Stones, watching them being consumed like flowing water, the pile rapidly diminishing, was still a painful sight.

Thankfully, no outsiders witnessed this scene.

Xuanyuan Qingyi, Ye Rou, and the other Vice Sect Leaders of the Luochen Sect did not see it.

Otherwise, if they had seen hundreds of millions of Intermediate Six Paths Spirit Stones turning to ash just like that, they would have absolutely wanted to kill the prodigal spendthrift themselves.

Of course, it was more likely that they would have been utterly shocked!

Because they knew that the more Spiritual Power a person could refine during a breakthrough, the greater their future potential was proven to be.

Since Jiang Jichen possessed a Seven-Colored Spiritual Vein, his potential was naturally boundless.

Late-Stage Nascent Soul Extreme Realm!

After refining Intermediate Six Paths Spirit Stones for seven days, Jiang Jichen finally stepped into the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm.

At this stage, his Spirit Infant could leave his body and soar between heaven and earth.

However, a Spirit Infant in the Nascent Soul Realm possessed almost no Defense Power. Therefore, having it leave the body was an extremely dangerous affair, something one would only do when left with no other choice.

For example, if one's physical body was destroyed or in a life-or-death situation, they would be forced to escape using their Spirit Infant.

Afterward, the Spirit Infant could find a new host or even reconstruct a physical body to be reborn.

At this point, Jiang Jichen could have actually pushed forward in one go and charged directly into the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

But Jiang Jichen stopped. 'I should first consolidate my current Cultivation,' he thought. 'It won't be too late to step into the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm in about half a year.'

Advancing from the Spirit Infant Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm should have triggered a supreme heavenly tribulation, but tribulations did not manifest in the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

Thus, from Foundation Establishment all the way to the Nascent Soul Realm, Jiang Jichen had accumulated several layers of deferred tribulations.

His tribulations were already the most terrifying type in the Celestial Universe. Now, with several layers accumulated, facing them all at once would likely create a cataclysm of apocalyptic proportions.

His breakthrough complete, Jiang Jichen opened his eyes and stood up.

Suddenly, his Spirit Infant moved in unison, manifesting its Dharma Aspect, which floated behind him.

The void trembled as a seven-colored light illuminated the world!

At that moment, high atop the Immortal Stele, his name shone, radiating streams of seven-colored light.

Jiang Jichen's presence was divinely martial and extraordinary, like an emperor descending upon the mortal world!

The Spirit Infant within his body suddenly opened its eyes, and all the Cultivators around the Holy Mountain felt a jolt run through their bodies.

At the same time, they felt their own Spirit Infants being subjected to an immense pressure.

The circulation of their Spiritual Power slowed to a crawl!

'This is... the Seven-Colored Spiritual Vein. A single vein that suppresses ten thousand others.'

After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, it had become even more terrifying, beginning to display the power of one Dao suppressing ten thousand others.

The Cultivators surrounding the Holy Mountain felt as if they were facing a supreme, unparalleled king!

A sense of awe and reverence naturally arose in their hearts.

Jiang Jichen's gaze swept in all directions. His voice was light, but as it spread, it carried a supreme authority.

"The Holy Mountain is no more. Henceforth, in the Six Paths Illusion Realm, I, Jiang Jichen, am king, and the Luochen Sect shall be revered. Any who object: Death!"

"The beings of the Six Paths should coexist in harmony. However, for those who previously slaughtered the innocents of my Human Race: Death!"

"For those who harbor hatred for other races: Death!"

"I will entrust these matters to Xuanyuan Qingyi. Her word is my word. Her presence is my presence. Any who dissent: Death!"

Having delivered these four pronouncements of death, Jiang Jichen stepped directly into the void, vanishing before the eyes of the crowd in a flash.

But those four pronouncements of death had deeply shaken all the Cultivators, leaving their hearts in turmoil long after he was gone.
