Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Although the Six Paths Illusion Realm only allowed Cultivators from the Spirit Infant to the Nascent Soul Realm to enter.

But for those born in the Six Paths Illusion Realm, there were no such restrictions.

Of course, their Cultivation could only reach the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

That was their limit, which they could not surpass.

Hearing the men’s words, the couple’s faces fell.

"You animals! We’re all part of the Human Race, yet you don’t have a shred of humanity. You won’t even spare a baby! You’ll get what’s coming to you sooner or later."

The woman, Xiaoran, cursed furiously.

"Get what’s coming to us? Heh heh... The Poison Devouring Sect is the only one that deals out retribution. I’ve never heard of anyone who could bring retribution upon us. Laughable..."

"Haha..."

Surrounding them were over twenty disciples of the Poison Devouring Sect.

Three were at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, while the rest ranged from the Mid-stage to the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm.

At this, they all erupted into raucous laughter.

In the distance, onlookers dared only watch from a thousand meters away, not venturing any closer.

"It’s Liu Tian and his wife from the Unrivaled Sect. Who knows how the Unrivaled Sect offended the Poison Devouring Sect, but they were wiped out overnight. Out of several hundred members, only these few managed to escape!"

"The Poison Devouring Sect doesn’t even spare infants. Why would they need a reason to wipe out the Unrivaled Sect?"

"Yeah, and that group of passersby is doomed now too. They walked right into the Poison Devouring Sect’s encirclement. You can only say they have terrible luck."

"That’s right. The Poison Devouring Sect is infamous in Chaotic City for their policy of total annihilation, leaving no one alive..."

"Shh! Watch what you say, you’ll get us into trouble!"

...

The crowd murmured amongst themselves but ultimately fell silent, not daring to say more.

Jiang Jichen’s senses were heightened, taking in everything around him. His powerful Divine Soul Thought enveloped the entire area.

Now, nothing within a ten-li radius could escape his perception.

From their words, Jiang Jichen was able to piece together the situation.

’The only thing that left him speechless was, why did it have to be the Poison Devouring Sect?’

’They were old nemeses. Theirs was a feud to the death.’

’Even if the Poison Devouring Sect hadn’t come looking for him, he would have sought them out eventually.’

’From the Ancient Ruined City, to the Library Mountain Back Courtyard, and now to the Six Paths Illusion Realm, they had been there every step of the way.’

’And now, just after entering Chaotic City, he had run into them by pure coincidence.’

’And what’s more, it seemed they intended to kill his entire party as well.’

’All because they were walking on the Ancient Street and hadn’t retreated in time.’

Han Qing and the Three Strange Bandits were already itching for a fight, ready to strike.

Looking at Liu Tian, who cupped his fists with an apologetic expression, Jiang Jichen smiled faintly. "It’s no trouble. As for you, Brother Liu, how can you speak of victory or defeat before the battle has even been fought? As it happens, I have a score to settle with the Poison Devouring Sect myself. I wonder, would you dare to fight alongside me and take the fight to them?"

Jiang Jichen’s voice wasn’t loud, but he hadn’t used any Secret Technique to muffle it, so it echoed all around for everyone to hear.

His words plunged the entire area into a momentary, stunned silence.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They thought they must have misheard; it was simply unbelievable.

"That... can’t be real, can it? Did that Spirit Infant Realm youth just say he’s going to attack the Poison Devouring Sect?"

"Either I misheard, or that Spirit Infant Realm kid is insane!"

"But it seems to be true. Look at the reaction from the Poison Devouring Sect members."

...

The crowd was unimaginably stunned by Jiang Jichen’s single sentence.

They felt the kid was audacious to the extreme.

The members of the Poison Devouring Sect finally snapped out of their stupor.

At first, they couldn’t believe it, but now they had to. The kid had actually said it.

’He actually said... he was going to attack the Poison Devouring Sect!’

’And... he also said he had a score to settle with the Poison Devouring Sect!’

"A mere Spirit Infant Realm brat dares to make such a boast!"

"Hmph. For that sentence alone, I’ll kill everyone connected to him!"

"Haha... That might be the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!"

"Enough talk. I’ll capture that brat and feed him a few Ten Thousand Poison Infant Devouring Pills to start. We’ll see if he can still talk about attacking the Poison Devouring Sect then."

The Poison Devouring Sect members were stunned for a moment, then erupted in derisive laughter.

But at the same time, their killing intent flared.

Liu Tian, too, had been stunned and couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

But when he saw the confident, serene look in Jiang Jichen’s eyes, and the completely earnest expression on his face...

...a heroic passion suddenly surged through his chest, and he blurted out, "You’ve invited me, brother. Why would I dare refuse?"

"Haha... Now that is a true hero. In the future, when your daughter grows up, she will be proud of you, whether you live or die."

"To live is to yield to neither enemy nor heaven and earth. When a battle must be fought, you fight. What is there to fear?"

As Jiang Jichen spoke, he flicked out a finger.

PUFF!

In the next instant, the Poison Devouring Sect Cultivator who had boasted of capturing Jiang Jichen alive felt his Qi Sea empty out. His immense Spiritual Power vanished, and his entire body went slack. His Life Energy began to fade as his consciousness slipped into Darkness.

He looked down and saw a bloody hole where his Qi Sea should be, which had pierced straight through his Spirit Infant.

THUD!

His body crashed to the ground. A Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, dead just like that.

The crowd stared in stunned disbelief at the scene before them.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen’s companions—Little Gray Skeleton, Han Qing, the Three Strange Bandits, Zhou Qiang, and Luochen Fairy—could no longer hold back.

Luochen Fairy waved her hand, and a Light of Restriction fell over the area. The Poison Devouring Sect members suddenly felt their bodies grow heavy, as if each was carrying a small mountain.

Their Spiritual Power and movements were suppressed.

Before they could even react, Little Gray, Han Qing, the Three Strange Bandits, and Zhou Qiang were already upon them.

SQUELCH! SQUELCH!

The crowd heard only the sounds of flesh being torn apart, followed by the continuous thud of falling bodies.

Some were beheaded, some had their hearts and Spirit Infants ripped out, and others were cleaved in two...

Their deaths were horrifyingly brutal, the scene a bloodbath of extreme carnage.

The three Nascent Soul Perfection Realm Cultivators from the Poison Devouring Sect finally reacted.

They charged forward, roaring, "How dare you make an enemy of the Poison Devouring Sect! You will regret the day you were born!"

Jiang Jichen’s expression was nonchalant as he took a single step, brushing past the three men.

POP!

POP!

POP!

Three pops rang out almost simultaneously. Then, the crowd watched as the three men’s bodies exploded, torn to pieces as flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

Limbs, mangled torsos, and severed heads scattered across the ground!

At the same moment, the fighting from Little Gray, Han Qing, and the Three Strange Bandits also concluded.

The twenty-odd disciples of the Poison Devouring Sect were all slaughtered before they could even fully react.

This scene truly stunned everyone watching.

Even Liu Tian and his wife were left gaping in astonishment.

’This...’

’They had been certain they would die here, that they would even drag this group of strangers down with them.’

’But for this to be the result?’

’The members of the Poison Devouring Sect had been wiped out in an instant.’

’Mangled corpses littered the ground, the Ancient Street was stained with blood, and shredded flesh paved the earth...’

’All of it proved that this was real!’

’And they... had been saved!’
