Myriad Daos of the Heaven

’Does this mean Ye Rou approves of what that ant of a boy is doing?’

’But Ye Rou is so cold and aloof. How could she possibly fall for an insignificant boy like him?’

Zhou Fang was bewildered, and rage surged in his heart.

Ye Rou was the woman he was determined to conquer.

Now, he could only watch as her hand was held by that worthless ant.

"Who are you calling a moron?"

Before Zhou Fang could even speak, one of his followers had already stepped forward. He demanded coldly, his eyes glinting with killing intent.

"If the shoe fits!"

Jiang Jichen replied nonchalantly. He, Ye Rou, and the others didn’t stop, but continued on their way.

"You’re courting death! An insignificant ant like you dares to insult us?"

However, Zhou Fang’s followers were even more brazen.

They hailed from Great Families and Sects; they were peerless geniuses.

If Zhou Fang weren’t the Young Sect Leader of the Creation Sect and didn’t possess an exclusive cave-dwelling in the Six Paths Illusion Realm, they would never have followed him.

Thus, they showed no fear, not even toward Ye Rou.

But now, they had been called morons by a mere Spirit Infant Middle Realm Cultivator. It was like a mortal insulting a Celestial God to his face!

The four of them were enraged, their hearts brimming with boundless killing intent.

One of them, being especially direct, flashed forward and lunged for Jiang Jichen’s head.

In an instant, his palm magnified dozens of times, descending upon Jiang Jichen’s head like a massive cloud.

Terrifying Spiritual Patterns of Destruction flickered in his palm.

Once caught by the giant palm, the victim would be crushed to smithereens.

Jiang Jichen sneered!

’These people are ruthless and arrogant enough to kill over a single disagreement.’

’Of course, the main reason is that my Cultivation is only at the Spirit Infant Middle Realm.’

’In their eyes, I’m as insignificant as an ant.’

However, Jiang Jichen didn’t even deign to look at the descending giant palm.

Only when it was about to land on his head did a cold, baleful glint flash across his eyes.

Then, he threw a punch, blasting it straight up at the descending giant palm.

He ignored the Spiritual Patterns of Destruction, his fist striking out like a dragon.

SQUELCH!

"AARGH!"

First came the sound of flesh being torn open, followed by a wretched scream.

The cultivator’s massive hand had been pierced through, and blood sprayed everywhere.

’How is this possible?’

The scene was utterly shocking.

Even some of the other top-tier geniuses heading toward Heavenly Dao Mountain stopped in their tracks.

They watched in utter shock!

"Isn’t that Hong Tao, the supreme genius from the Hong Family, one of Human Emperor City’s top-tier Noble Families? He’s in the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm, but someone just punched a hole straight through his palm!"

"So who’s the kid in the Spirit Infant Realm?"

"I know him! That’s Jiang Jichen! He’s been causing a stir in Human Emperor City for the last few days!"

"What? It’s him?"

...

Exclamations rippled through the crowd.

Sensing that another good show was about to unfold, they all stopped and gathered around to watch.

At that very moment, the supreme genius of the Hong Family was screaming in agony, his palm pierced through.

He tried to pull his hand back, but would Jiang Jichen let him?

With a single thought, Sinking Mountain materialized.

"Sever!"

He swung Sinking Mountain with incredible speed.

There was no technique to it, just overwhelming speed and weight.

CRACK!

The supreme genius of the Hong Family tried to pull his hand back, but Jiang Jichen’s Sinking Mountain was faster.

It slammed right onto his arm.

Then, the lower half of his arm was obliterated.

The terrifying force pulverized his palm into a bloody pulp, dyeing the air red.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, with unimaginable speed.

By the time the supreme genius from the Hong Family clutched his arm, the crowd finally came to their senses.

"That was... so fast! So strong!"

That was the thought on everyone’s mind.

Shock filled the eyes of Zhou Fang and his three remaining followers, but their expressions were mostly grim.

A Secret Light suddenly enveloped the cultivator with the shattered arm. The next moment, a new, perfectly formed arm appeared in its place.

The injury had only been to his physical body, not his foundation. By using a Secret Technique and a Spirit Pill, he was able to restore it instantly.

Of course, the cost was unimaginable.

The loss was agonizing!

This was his life-saving trump card, one he had planned to save for a dire situation inside the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

But now he’d been forced to use it just on the way to Heavenly Dao Mountain?

He was filled with hate, rage, and madness!

Staring at Jiang Jichen with utter hatred, he snarled, "I was careless and let an ant like you get a lucky shot. Now, I’m going to tear you to pieces! If I don’t..."

But before he could finish, Jiang Jichen had already stepped forward, Sinking Mountain swinging.

Eight Desolates Unity—suppress!

The next moment, the supreme genius of the Hong Family felt eight invisible forces descend from the void and fall upon him.

The eight forces then merged into one, pinning him down.

But with Jiang Jichen’s current Realm, even the power of Eight Desolates Unity couldn’t truly suppress his opponent.

It only managed to slow him down for an instant.

But Sinking Mountain in Jiang Jichen’s hand suddenly erupted with a terrifying black Blade Aura.

Great Wind Saber Technique, first form—Heaven-Breaking Saber!

A single slash with the force to crush all resistance;

A single slash with the power to tear open the heavens;

A single slash with the will of absolute invincibility.

Unstoppable, unblockable. Anything in its path would be annihilated.

Sinking Mountain could now achieve Spirit Communication, allowing it to channel Spirit Cultivation Saber Techniques.

Its might was terrifying to the extreme.

SPLT!

The supreme genius of the Hong Family was cleaved in two by the black Blade Aura.

Furthermore, the slash kicked up countless blade-like Wind Blades.

A storm of blades swept over, shredding his Spirit Infant and corpse into a bloody mist.

And just like that, a supreme expert of the Hong Family had fallen, his death a gruesome sight.

What was most chilling was that this supreme genius of the Nascent Soul Realm was no match for the Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator. He hadn’t been able to put up any resistance at all.

He had been brutally killed on the spot before he could even finish his arrogant boast.

Overbearing, tyrannical, merciless...

The world fell silent. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Moments ago, Zhou Fang’s three followers had been haughty and arrogant, looking down on Jiang Jichen as a mere ant.

In their minds, one of their companions should have been more than enough to crush him with ease.

But this was the result!

A sliver of fear began to creep into their hearts.

With Sinking Mountain resting on one shoulder, Jiang Jichen stared coldly at Zhou Fang and his three followers. His voice was light as he said, "I’m a direct person. If someone wants to kill me, I kill them. I don’t care about ascending the Extreme Celestial Tier. A good, satisfying kill is all that matters."

"But killing just one person wasn’t satisfying enough. Who’s next? Or do you want to come at me together?"

Jiang Jichen said, looking down on them as if they were beneath him.

Zhou Fang was about to make his move!

Ye Rou stepped forward gracefully, her Silver Spear in hand. "Zhou Fang, I don’t mind fighting you. But unlike you, I don’t have an exclusive cave-dwelling in the Six Paths Illusion Realm, so missing out doesn’t matter to me!"

Zhou Fang’s expression changed drastically at Ye Rou’s words.

Then, he reluctantly said to the three behind him, "We’re leaving!"

"Bitch!"

He cursed viciously as he turned to leave.
