Chapter 338: He Is Ji Chen

Chapter 338: Chapter 338: He Is Ji Chen

Compared to the appearance he had altered with Secret Technique before.

The real appearance of Ji Chen now looks even two or three years younger.

This immediately caused the surrounding people to be once again astonished without end.

"This person... why do I find him somewhat familiar."

"You feel the same? I thought it was just my illusion, as if I had seen him somewhere before."

"Special Physique... this person... Hongmeng Body!"

"Ji Chen! It’s him! Although his appearance has changed somewhat compared to two years ago, the change isn’t much!"

"Lingyun Saint Heir Ji Chen! The once stunningly brilliant Hongmeng Body of the Human Race!"

After a brief moment of silence, the entire crowd erupted in an uproar.

Countless people were astonished, with expressions of utter disbelief on their faces.

Regardless if they were of the Human Race or Ancient Race, the cultivators of Celestial Martial or the powerhouses from various realms of Daoxuan, at this moment, upon learning Ji Chen’s true identity, they couldn’t help but be shocked to the extreme.

Clearly, no one had expected that this mysterious young powerhouse, who traveled south, killing so many disciples of Cyan Cloud Valley, was actually the young king who left Celestial Martial two years ago to go to Celestial Emperor’s Mansion!

He has actually returned.

And even more incredible is that the Hongmeng Body now has grown to such a realm!

Two years ago, when he left, his cultivation had just broken through to the Void Realm not long ago.

But today, two years later, he has not only proven the Dao and become a Saint, but his cultivation has also entered the Second Layer of the Saint Realm!

Such a speed of advancement is nothing short of astonishing.

Not to mention in this era, throughout the ages, it would be tough to find anyone who could elevate their cultivation from the First and Second Layer Realms of the Void Realm to the Second Layer of the Saint Realm in just two years.

Unprecedented!

The Hongmeng Body of that year, though an exceptionally talented young king when he left, was not considered among the very top tier in terms of cultivation among that generation of Daoxuan.

Unexpectedly, in just two short years, he achieved such a realm, truly marking the return of a king!

"Are you the Ji Chen, famed Hongmeng Body of two years ago?"

Listening to the discussions around, Zhang Zhishan couldn’t help but frown.

Clearly, although Cyan Cloud Valley is a power from the Outer Realm Divine Martial, after arriving in Celestial Martial, they had already inquired about everything here and naturally knew about Ji Chen’s matters from two years ago.

No wonder he inexplicably became an enemy of Cyan Cloud Valley; the world knew, in the past, the Saint King had a significant favor with Ji Chen.

Now that he has returned as a king, upon learning that the Saint King was injured by Cyan Cloud Valley’s hands, he naturally won’t ignore it.

This time Ji Chen marched south to confront Cyan Cloud undoubtedly because of the Saint King!

"Is this the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion? It only took him two years there to grow to such a realm!"

"The Celestial Emperor’s Mansion indeed aided Ji Chen’s improvement, but I think the main reason for his tremendous growth is still his innate talent." Someone spoke up.

And indeed, that is the case.

Among those young kings who joined the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion back then, only Ji Chen underwent such an enormous transformation.

Others like Ning Bufan, Gu Hao, and Huang Shuying, although they made many breakthroughs, couldn’t compare to Ji Chen.

"Ji Chen, you killed my Cyan Cloud Valley’s Saint Heir, and thousands of disciples fell at your hands as well. Don’t think that just because you now have the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion’s backing, my Cyan Cloud Valley won’t dare to kill you. Even if this matter reaches the Celestial Saint Venerable, my Cyan Cloud Valley has no fault!"

Zhang Zhishan snorted coldly, his expression somewhat unsightly. Despite his words, if Ji Chen were really killed, Cyan Cloud Valley would undoubtedly provoke discontentment from the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion.

After all, no matter what, he is now a disciple of the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion.

In the contemporary Nine Great Star Domains, who doesn’t know what kind of existence the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion is? The people of Cyan Cloud Valley, coming from the Divine Martial Star Realm, know this better than anyone else.

Therefore, Ji Chen being a disciple of the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion made Zhang Zhishan feel apprehensive.

But fortunately, this time Ji Chen came to confront them, and Cyan Cloud Valley did not provoke him first, plus Ji Chen killed so many of their disciples. The Celestial Emperor’s Mansion can’t be unreasonable, can it?

"I think the issue isn’t whether you dare to kill me."

However, Ji Chen smiled, a hint of disdain and contempt appearing on his face, his gaze lazily sweeping over Zhang Zhishan, "Rather, can you kill me?"

"Ridiculous!"

Zhang Zhishan snorted coldly, "Ji Chen, though with your Nirvana Realm Second Layer cultivation plus the advantage of the Hongmeng Body, I am indeed not your match, Cyan Cloud Valley has an inheritance of a thousand ages, such a deep foundation, how can you shake it?"

He’s not being arrogant; Cyan Cloud Valley isn’t an ordinary place, having many enemies, yet none have posed a real threat to its foundation.

While Ji Chen’s strength truly made Zhang Zhishan cautious, in Cyan Cloud Valley, two Great Saint Powerhouses are stationed.

If these two act, Ji Chen will undoubtedly perish today!

"Noisy!"

However, Ji Chen clearly didn’t want to waste more words with him.

The moment his voice fell, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

In the next instant, he pointed forward.

With such a casual gesture, the world seemed to lose its color the moment it was made.

A dazzling finger light shot out, transforming mid-movement into a world-shattering sword light, brimming with the aura of Great Dao Sword Intent, like the power to split heaven and earth, slashing fiercely towards Zhang Zhishan.

"Hmm?"

Zhang Zhishan’s face changed dramatically, feeling the terrifying power of this sword, clearly beyond what he could withstand.

"Perish for me!"

Without hesitation, he shouted fiercely, forming seals with his hands, mobilizing the force of the surrounding mountains with Secret Technique once again.

"Buzz!"

The space around him trembled slightly, then a massive invisible mountain force rushed forward, condensing around him into a thick energy barrier, unbreakable.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the sky-shattering sword aura descended, filled with terrifying Great Dao Sword Intent, cleaving onto that energy barrier.

A massive explosion erupted, shaking the earth as if the skies were cracking and collapsing, a terrifying sight.

"Crack!"

Following this, a cracking sound echoed, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

Looking around, everyone could see that around Zhang Zhishan, the energy barrier formed by the force of mountains was effortlessly shattered by Ji Chen’s single sword.

"Pfft!"

He coughed up blood, his body flying backward, assaulted by the residual energy, seriously injured on the spot, being blasted backwards a thousand zhang before finally coming to a stop.
