Myriad Daos of the Heaven

At that moment, the eyes of everyone in the surrounding crowd were fixed on the scene within the Restriction Light Curtain.

The rapid succession of events had left them utterly shocked, their minds completely captivated.

First, Jiang Jichen survived the lingering attack from the three Gang Leaders. Then, he recovered in an instant and killed them in a counterattack.

And now, the Sand Snake Ancestor had attacked, poised to take his life.

"Is he trying to defy the heavens?"

"And Sect Leader Lingchen is only at the Late-Stage Spirit Infant Realm!"

"But Lingchen can't escape death in the end. Rumor has it the Sand Snake Ancestor's Poison Technique is terrifying and unmatched. This is a dead end for Lingchen."

"If it weren't for the big shots from Chaotic City, this... Land of Stray Bandits would have been completely dominated by Lingchen!"

"What a pity. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Once Lingchen is dead, everything he accomplished in life will be nothing but a meaningless illusion!"

...

Seeing Jiang Jichen's body blacken and his flesh begin to rot, the crowd buzzed with discussion and sighs of lament.

As they saw it, Jiang Jichen had already used his final recovery technique. He had no chance left for a comeback.

And it was true. Jiang Jichen had nearly exhausted all his trump cards. Facing the Sand Snake Ancestor's attack, he was powerless to resist and could only wait for death.

At that moment, Jiang Jichen could feel the overwhelming intensity of the poison. His constitution was astonishing, but it couldn't hold back the venom. Ultimately, his Cultivation Realm was just too low.

But in the face of the Sand Snake Ancestor, his eyes held no trace of panic. He gave a grim smile. "You're thinking too much. I said I'd wipe you all out, and that naturally includes you!"

As he spoke, a soft, white light suddenly showered down from the sky, completely enveloping Jiang Jichen.

"My magnificent master! The Undead healer Doroh has arrived to provide you with the most satisfactory service! Doroh will..."

The announcement was accompanied by Doroh's booming voice.

But before Doroh could finish, Little Gray had already whacked him on the head with the White Bone Staff, cutting him off.

Doroh could only focus and complete the Healing Forbidden Technique, Light of Life, as quickly as possible.

Bathed in the Light of Life, Jiang Jichen's injured and poisoned body was instantly restored to its peak condition, his immense power returning.

All of this happened in a mere instant.

The Sand Snake Ancestor's expression changed drastically. 'This is bad,' he thought.

But Jiang Jichen was too fast. He threw a punch!

"PUH!"

However, the Sand Snake Ancestor was also incredibly tough. Layers of snakeskin materialized in front of him.

The force of Jiang Jichen's mighty punch was unexpectedly unable to pierce through the snakeskin.

Still, the Sand Snake Ancestor was knocked back, spat blood, and suffered a minor injury.

"He... Lingchen actually recovered again!"

"Was that... a Healing Forbidden Technique just now? The Light of Life?"

"Yes, and a Space-Time Undead."

"That's right, a Space-Time Undead that knows the Healing Forbidden Technique, Light of Life! Heavens, has the world gone mad?"

...

The crowd was utterly shocked and found it hard to accept this turn of events.

They never expected such a dramatic plot twist.

Lingchen had been on the verge of death, yet he had once again been restored to perfect health.

And the one who healed him was, of all things, a Space-Time Undead.

A Space-Time Undead that could heal!

Many people were still in a daze.

Even the Sand Snake Ancestor, who was in the middle of it all, found it hard to believe.

However, he quickly calmed himself and stared coldly at Jiang Jichen. "A pity. The creature you summoned is from the useless Healing System. If it were from the Attack System, with its power as a Blue Soul Undead, I would certainly be no match for it."

"But as it is now? Even if you have recovered, how can you possibly escape your fate of being killed by me, the Sand Snake Ancestor?"

Doroh, who was floating off to the side, heard the Sand Snake Ancestor's words and roared in anger, "You little old man! How dare you call the great Space-Time Undead Doroh useless! Doroh is angry! You're so finished!"

The Little Gray Skeleton, looking very small, stood on Doroh's shoulder.

He tapped Doroh's enormous head with the White Bone Staff, and Doroh immediately fell silent, not daring to utter another word.

But his giant, bell-like eyes continued to glare fiercely and angrily at the Sand Snake Ancestor.

Jiang Jichen, now fully recovered, looked calmly at the Sand Snake Ancestor. "Is that so? I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, because you're still no match for me."

As he spoke, a blood-red Battle Armor suddenly materialized on his body. He held the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array in his right hand and a Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment in his left.

Jiang Jichen aimed at the Sand Snake Ancestor and immediately unleashed the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array!

In that instant, boundless killing intent erupted from the heavens, falling from the void and immediately engulfing the Sand Snake Ancestor.

At the same time, he activated the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment. A rolling, churning wave of poison surged forward.

Jiang Jichen hadn't used either the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array or the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment in a long time.

But wielding them with his current strength, their might was bound to be stronger, fiercer, and more terrifying.

Yet, in the face of such an attack, the Sand Snake Ancestor was surprisingly fearless.

His eyes were locked on the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment in Jiang Jichen's hand. Surrounded by the destructive attack, he let out a wild, smug laugh.

"HAHA... That's it! It really is on you! After searching for it against all odds, it will finally fall back into my hands today!"

As he spoke, a green light suddenly emanated from the Sand Snake Ancestor's body.

At the same time, a green pearl began to spin rapidly before him.

A Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment!

Jiang Jichen recognized it at a glance.

This Sand Snake Ancestor was clearly from the Five Poison Sect.

To think the Five Poison Sect had even passed the information to the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

It seemed they were determined to obtain the Poison-Devouring Fragment.

All this time, the Five Poison Sect had relentlessly hounded him to get the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment. Even here in the Six Paths Illusion Realm, it was no different.

Only now, the Five Poison Sect had become the Poison Devouring Sect!

The Poison Devouring Sect was the Poison Sect Headquarters; the Five Poison Sect of the Southern Continent, for instance, was merely one of its branches.

This time, when the Sand Snake Ancestor received the message from the Tiger Ferocity Gang's Leader, he had recognized Jiang Jichen at a glance.

This was because the Five Poison Sect had previously sent information about Jiang Jichen to the Poison Devouring Sect.

Therefore, the Sand Snake Ancestor knew he was not just Lingchen, but also Jiang Jichen.

No wonder the Sand Snake Ancestor was carrying another Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment. He knew Jiang Jichen's identity and had brought it just in case.

Now, the Poison-Devouring Fragment the Sand Snake Ancestor carried was proving its use.

Moreover, his Cultivation Realm was higher, allowing him to draw even greater power from the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment.

Even though the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment in Jiang Jichen's hand was the core piece, the power he could draw from it was limited.

The Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment activated by the Sand Snake Ancestor produced a green defensive light that actually blocked the combined attack of the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array and his own Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment, only shattering at the very last moment.

"HAHA... This time, you've exhausted all your tricks! How will you fight me now?"

The Sand Snake Ancestor cackled smugly.

He took a step and charged toward Jiang Jichen, intent on killing him.

However, Jiang Jichen just gave a sinister smile. "You're thinking too much!"

Without retreating, Jiang Jichen charged forward to meet the attack head-on.

This time, a fierce battle erupted.

The Sand Snake Ancestor was truly powerful. His exceptionally long fingernails were like sharp blades, coated in a terrifying venom.

Even the slightest scratch from those nails was enough to kill a person with the potent poison.

But he had run into Jiang Jichen, a man with strong poison resistance, a tough physical body, astonishing vitality, and the protection of the blood-red Battle Armor.

And so, the fight turned into a battle of attrition.

Ultimately, however, the Sand Snake Ancestor held the absolute advantage.

Jiang Jichen was constantly being wounded. Had it been an ordinary person, they would have died countless times over by now.

But Jiang Jichen remained as vigorous as ever!

That was because Doroh was floating behind Jiang Jichen, tossing him a heal every now and then.

And with every heal he cast on Jiang Jichen, Doroh would shoot a smug, defiant glare at the Sand Snake Ancestor.

He was clearly flaunting it.
