Chapter 647 - 644: Across the Void

Chapter 647: Chapter 644: Across the Void

The land had been torn asunder by the earth-shattering battle between Jiang Jichen and the Thousand-Handed Monster.

Even now, it remained an apocalyptic scene!

The Power of Destruction churned as smoke and dust billowed, obscuring the world in a hazy blur.

Xuanyuan Qingyi, Suu Luo, and the others hovered in the air from a great distance away, completely unable to see what was happening within the chaos.

At that moment, Jiang Jichen pulled Chang Xian’Er along and, in a flash, entered the Magical Artifact Space within the Poison-Devouring Pearl.

"Jiang Jichen, what do you think you’re doing?"

Chang Xian’Er finally panicked, unable to maintain her composure.

"What do you think I’m going to do?"

"You went to such lengths to trap me. Now that I’ve broken free, how could I possibly let you go so easily?"

Jiang Jichen said coldly.

"Jiang Jichen, and you call yourself the Realm Venerable of the Six Paths Illusion Realm! You’d stoop to something so shameless? Aren’t you afraid of tarnishing your great name?"

Chang Xian’Er spoke, slowly calming down and reverting to her usual cold and aloof demeanor.

It was as if she already knew what Jiang Jichen was planning to do, but since she was only formed from a wisp of Divine Thought, she was completely powerless to resist.

But Jiang Jichen just laughed and said, "As long as I get to have Miss Xian’Er, what’s a little shamelessness? And what the hell is a reputation, anyway?"

"Besides, I’m the type to always get my revenge. You schemed against me, and now that I’ve broken free, failing to retaliate would go against my very Dao Heart."

"Furthermore, I imagine your true body will be able to feel this just as vividly!"

Jiang Jichen’s words undoubtedly caused the color to drain from Chang Xian’Er’s beautiful face. Her Dao Heart wavered, nearly collapsing, shattered by his pronouncement.

And just as Jiang Jichen had said, although she was currently only formed from a wisp of Divine Thought, she was no different from a real person of flesh and blood.

More importantly, everything that happened to her now would be sensed by her true body in the Nine Heavens above.

"My heart’s Great Dao will endure through the ages, Eternal and indestructible. This body of flesh and blood, formed from a mere wisp of Divine Thought—if you want it, then take it!"

Remarkably, Chang Xian’Er quickly calmed down, a frigid aura radiating from her entire being.

"You talk a big game, but did you ever predict that this wisp of your Divine Thought would suffer this fate at my hands?"

Jiang Jichen gave a wicked smile.

To say that Jiang Jichen felt no resentment or anger toward Chang Xian’Er would be utterly impossible.

He had been schemed against time and time again, and each plot was more terrifying than the last.

Chang Xian’Er’s identity was too mysterious. He had slain her avatar before, thinking her true body was in the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

But now he discovered that the one left in the Six Paths Illusion Realm was also just a Divine Thought Avatar.

Her true body, it turned out, was in the Nine Heavens!

"With the Celestial Derivation Technique, I can create thousands of avatars and endless killing traps. You might have dodged one, but you can’t dodge them all!"

"The ages are endless, and Celestial Derivation is Eternal. Jiang Jichen, you won’t be so lucky next time!"

Chang Xian’Er’s voice was now cold and detached, like a Divine Maiden looking down upon all mortal life.

All living things were nothing more than pawns in her eyes.

......

"AH!"

「Meanwhile, high in the Nine Heavens」

Within the Tianyan Dao Palace, Chang Xian’Er, who was deep in cultivation, let out an agonized cry.

Her entire body trembled, her face pale with a mixture of shame and fury.

"Jiang Jichen!"

She bit out those two words with venom.

"AH...!"

But that was immediately followed by a gasp from Chang Xian’Er. ’This feeling... it’s so unfamiliar.’

"Xian’Er, what’s wrong?"

Just then, a hazy figure appeared in the Daoist Palace. Looking at the pale-faced Chang Xian’Er, it asked.

It was the Divine Thought projection of a woman. Her voice was cold, yet it held a peculiar charm.

"Senior Sister, I’m fine. I’ve just been overdoing my cultivation recently. I’ll be all right after some rest!"

After speaking, Chang Xian’Er stood up and walked back to her room.

The woman’s Divine Thought projection looked somewhat puzzled, but she ultimately said, "Xian’Er, although you are the most talented inheritor of the Celestial Derivation Technique our sect has seen in hundreds of thousands of years, cultivation is about one’s state of mind. Haste makes waste."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister Xuanyin. I will take it to heart!"

Chang Xian’Er replied.

"In that case, Xian’Er, get some proper rest!"

Finally, Xuanyin departed. In her room, Chang Xian’Er’s expression was grim.
