Myriad Daos of the Heaven

It wasn’t just Nangong Wanyu; the Golden Robe Young Master, Tianyao, and the others also attacked.

They were stunned by Jiang Jichen’s ferocity—he had just obliterated a Young Master of the Pavilion from the Academy, reducing him to a bloody pulp with a single strike.

But these were no ordinary figures. They were far stronger than the Young Master of the Pavilion from the Talismanic Rune System.

Their resolve was firm, and they would not be swayed.

This was a world-shaking battle, currently being broadcast live with a Heaven-level Image Stone and recorded for future playback.

One could only imagine the earth-shattering repercussions that would follow once footage of this monumental battle got out.

Ultimately, regardless of the outcome, this battle was bound to have an explosive impact.

After all, this was a group composed of nearly all the strongest members of the Southern Continent’s younger generation, and they were all ganging up to kill Jiang Jichen.

Even more shocking was the fact that Nangong Wanyu was among them!

All of this power was directed at Jiang Jichen alone.

It was hard to fathom just how terrifying Jiang Jichen must be.

Facing these terrifying attacks, Jiang Jichen neither dodged nor evaded, charging straight ahead to meet them.

Golden Body Third Realm, Spirit Infant Middle Realm!

’With this much power, why fear a fight? Why should I retreat?’

Jiang Jichen gripped Sinking Mountain, sweeping it around as he charged into the fray.

The aftershocks of some attacks struck him, but they only caused minor injuries and were far from fatal.

Right now, his physical body was like a Liuli Golden Body, boundlessly tough. Unless an ultimate kill attack landed squarely on him, the attacks of ordinary Spirit Infant Realm Cultivators couldn’t even scratch him.

However, the people he was facing were all top-tier experts. Even the mere aftershocks of their attacks were enough to inflict minor injuries upon him.

"Nangong Wanyu, today I’m going to spank that ass of yours raw!"

Jiang Jichen shouted arrogantly from within the endless storm of attacks.

What’s more, his words were incredibly crude, designed to agitate his opponents and prevent them from fighting with a clear mind.

Sure enough, upon hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, Nangong Wanyu flew into an uncontrollable rage, attacking him with even more frenzy and relentlessness.

’However,’ Jiang Jichen thought, ’an enraged Nangong Wanyu is far less terrifying than a calm one.’

Jiang Jichen was now using Illusory Indeterminacy. Combined with his Spirit Infant Realm Divine Soul, he could perceive the attack trajectories of these top-tier geniuses.

After dodging the vast majority of attacks, Jiang Jichen suddenly closed in on the sixth-ranked expert of the youth masters’ list, using his body as a weapon to ram into him.

He completely ignored the attack his opponent launched at him.

This fighting style was utterly barbaric.

But Jiang Jichen had the power to back up his brutish, overbearing tactics.

Even with an endless barrage of attacks whistling at his back, Jiang Jichen paid them no mind. His Divine Thought was locked solely on the sixth-ranked expert.

Moments ago, this man had been incredibly arrogant, threatening to kill Fang Ying and seize the ancient ruin’s treasures from the women before Jiang Jichen had arrived.

Now, his previous arrogance was gone, replaced by terror in his eyes.

At this moment, he was utterly terrified of Jiang Jichen. The experience had left a deep psychological scar.

His strongest attack had been utterly shattered, leaving behind nothing more than a moderate wound on Jiang Jichen’s body.

He wanted to retreat, to flee from Jiang Jichen.

But how could his speed possibly compare to Jiang Jichen’s?

BOOM!

Jiang Jichen’s body slammed directly into his.

At Jiang Jichen’s speed and at such close range, all of his attacks were completely ineffective.

As for his defenses, they were instantly obliterated.

CRACK!

He was sent flying, his body feeling as if it would shatter. His consciousness faded, and he found it impossible to gather his Spiritual Power.

In the next instant, as if no time had passed at all, Jiang Jichen was on him again, giving him no chance to even catch his breath.

SPLAT!

This time, Jiang Jichen followed up with a strike from Sinking Mountain.

The sixth-ranked expert on the youth masters’ list was reduced to a bloody pulp!

At the same time, the attacks from Nangong Wanyu, the Golden Robe Young Master, and the others rained down again.

This time, because of that momentary delay, Jiang Jichen was struck by several attacks.

PUFF!

Jiang Jichen executed Illusory Indeterminacy, but he was still a fraction of a second too slow.

He took a direct hit and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Still, he had managed to evade the ultimate kill attacks from both the Golden Robe Young Master and Nangong Wanyu.

"Heh heh... An attack like that is too weak. How about you try taking a hit from me!"

Despite having taken a direct hit, Jiang Jichen seemed completely unfazed. Instead, he fixed a chilling stare on the Young Master of the Pavilion from the Hidden Weapons System—the one who had just struck him.

Most of the wounds on his body were from that man’s attacks, which were nearly impossible to defend against.

After all, his opponent was the Young Master of the Pavilion from the Hidden Weapons System; his skill in stealth and surprise attacks was astonishing.

Anyone else would have long since fallen to his surprise attacks.

But Jiang Jichen, with his astonishing Divine Soul and monstrous physical strength, had dodged all of the man’s ultimate kill attacks.

He had only been struck by some of his more ordinary attacks.

When Jiang Jichen’s gaze and Divine Thought locked onto him, the expression of the Young Master of the Pavilion from the Hidden Weapons System changed drastically. A sense of deep unease and imminent danger washed over him.

Thoughtless Life and Death Sword!

One Sword Life and Death Technique!

Jiang Jichen swapped Sinking Mountain for the Ancient Wandering Dragon Holy Sword.

He executed two Sword Techniques in a single, fluid motion, moving with incredible speed.

The Thoughtless Life and Death Sword had minimal effect on people of their caliber, especially Nangong Wanyu and the Golden Robe Young Master.

But that minimal effect was enough.

It was because of this momentary distraction that the Stealth Skill of the Young Master from the Hidden Weapons System was a beat too slow.

And so, he bore the full brunt of Jiang Jichen’s One Sword Life and Death Technique.

PUFF!

The Sword Light was incomparably sharp, claiming a life in the blink of an eye.

As for the Young Master of the Pavilion from the Hidden Weapons System, he only had time to conceal his lower body in the void. His upper half was brutally severed by Jiang Jichen’s sword and tumbled back into view.

The bloody, horrifying sight made even the onlookers tremble.

Having slain another, Jiang Jichen’s expression remained indifferent, as though he had simply crushed an ant.

Then, he continued to unleash an unending barrage of sword techniques.

At this point in the fight, Jiang Jichen was no longer holding back, unleashing the full extent of his strongest combat prowess.

The Undying Scripture, the Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique, and the Source Character Qi Condensation Technique all ran at their absolute limits.

Thanks to the Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique, the wounds on Jiang Jichen’s body began to heal at an astonishing rate.

Meanwhile, he swung the Holy Sword in his hand without pause, slaughtering all around him.

Star Sword Technique, Tai Chi Swordsmanship!

Shadow Step, Soul Destruction Finger!

Swordsmanship, Step Techniques, Finger Techniques... he unleashed them all at once in a violent burst.

Jiang Jichen had fought himself into a bloodthirsty frenzy.

His killing intent surged like a tidal wave, and his will to fight pierced the heavens!

Nangong Wanyu, the Golden Robe Young Master, and the others also flew into a rage. They held nothing back, attacking mercilessly and vowing to kill Jiang Jichen.

"Die!"

However, Jiang Jichen’s power had already far surpassed anyone’s imagination.

Even Jiang Jichen himself was surprised.

PUFF! PUFF!

The Young Master of the Pavilion from the Artifact Refining System and another expert from the youth masters’ list fell, beheaded by Jiang Jichen, their Divine Souls absorbed into his Soul Refining Banner.

In the end, Jiang Jichen was covered in wounds.

But of his opponents, only the Golden Robe Young Master and Nangong Wanyu still stood before him.

"Jiang Jichen, your strength is spent, and you’re covered in wounds," Nangong Wanyu snarled. "It’s time to send you on your way!"

Jiang Jichen laughed. "No, it’s time for me to spank that ass of yours raw!"

As he spoke, he charged toward Nangong Wanyu like a rampaging beast from the Primordial Chaos.
