Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Jiang Jichen also stared intently at the middle-aged man.

This man's Cultivation was unfathomably deep. He was on the same level as Young Master Fu, the Undead Female Cultivator, and the Beastman King.

Previously, had Jiang Jichen faced those three head-on without activating the Azure Heaven Killing Weapon, he would have had to exhaust all of his hidden techniques. He would have suffered countless injuries and faced near-certain death, with only a slim possibility of defeating them.

However, now he was only facing one person. Furthermore, Jiang Jichen's Cultivation had just broken through to a new level, so he naturally had no fear in fighting the Vice Sect Leader of the Poison Devouring Sect alone.

Besides, he had a natural advantage when it came to Poison Techniques.

"It seems the Poison Devouring Sect has killed too few people over the years. To think someone would actually dare to come knocking on our door!"

"Today, after I exterminate you worthless trash, I will need to kill another thousand people to instill fear in all directions. Otherwise, they'll think my Poison Sect has fallen behind, that any random stray cat or dog can come and bully us."

The Vice Sect Leader of the Poison Devouring Sect, Miao Que, spoke with cold ruthlessness.

And with a single sentence, he had sealed the fates of a thousand people!

The faces of the surrounding crowd changed drastically, their eyes filled with fear.

Following behind Miao Que were several hundred people. Sixty to seventy of them were Nascent Soul Old Monsters, while the rest ranged from the Early Stage to the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

These were all official members of the Poison Devouring Sect. They cultivated Poison Techniques and were sinister and cruel.

This time, aside from the Sect Leader who had yet to appear, the Poison Devouring Sect had practically mobilized its entire force.

Jiang Jichen's eyes narrowed!

'They have too many experts,' he thought. 'With so few people on my side, we're completely outmatched in a straight fight.'

However, this was actually a perfect opportunity for Jiang Jichen.

'Since they're all gathered in one place, I can launch an indiscriminate attack.'

With a single thought, Jiang Jichen had the people behind him disperse and hide, ready to strike at a moment's notice.

In the end, he was the only one left in the open.

At the same time, the Two-cornered Azure Heaven Killing Array appeared in his hands.

Although the two parts of the Azure Heaven Killing Array had not yet undergone Fusion, the power they could unleash simultaneously was still boundlessly terrifying.

And Jiang Jichen's movements were blindingly fast!

The Vice Sect Leader of the Poison Devouring Sect was the first to sense the aura of the Great Killing Artifact. His expression changed drastically as he shouted, "Fall back! Scatter! Activate your strongest defenses!"

As he spoke, he retreated from his spot at the fastest possible speed, cranking the light of his defenses to its maximum strength.

The other disciples of the Poison Devouring Sect had also sprung into action, moving at extreme speed to escape.

But had Jiang Jichen's movements been even a fraction of a second slower?

The Two-cornered Azure Heaven Killing Array trembled in the air. The heavens unleashed their killing blow, instantly submerging a section of the world.

"PFFT! PFFT..."

"Ah, no...!"

Within the space saturated with Killing Intent, the sounds of flesh being torn apart and turning into a bloody mist echoed ceaselessly.

The final, desperate screams of the Poison Devouring Sect disciples also rang out one after another.

When the Killing Intent finally dissipated, everything within a radius of several hundred meters around the Poison Devouring Sect's members had been turned to ash. All had become Void.

From that single, sudden strike, nearly two hundred disciples of the Poison Devouring Sect who had retreated too slowly were killed on the spot, their Divine Souls completely annihilated.

Just as Jiang Jichen finished activating the Two-cornered Azure Heaven Killing Array, he was suddenly struck by an immense and terrifying sense of crisis.

"Kill this brat first!"

"Ten Thousand Poisonous Spirit Devouring!"

This was the furious roar of the Poison Devouring Sect's Vice Sect Leader, Miao Que.

The moment they escaped the attack from Jiang Jichen's Azure Heaven Killing Array, they immediately launched a counterattack.

And even without Miao Que's reminder, the disciples of the Poison Devouring Sect already hated Jiang Jichen to the bone.

Therefore, they unleashed the Poison Devouring Sect's Strongest joint attack technique, Ten Thousand Poisonous Spirit Devouring, with virtually no hesitation!

This Magic Technique was terrifying. The more people who cultivated Poison Techniques and used it simultaneously, the more appallingly powerful it became when it condensed into One Technique.

Right now, there were still over a hundred of them, and every single one was at the Late-stage Nascent Soul to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm. Their Poison Skills were profound.

Unleashing this technique together, they instantly transformed a region of the world into an ocean of Poison Skill, its erupting power capable of melting everything.

Anyone caught inside would have nowhere to run and would face certain death.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Poisonous Spirit Devouring sealed the surrounding space, making it difficult to teleport away.

"This brat will surely die!"

"Ten Thousand Poisonous Spirit Devouring melts everything. He can't escape."

"You can die in peace. Many others will be joining you in death."

...

The Cultivators who had unleashed the light of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Spirit Devouring shouted coldly.

They were certain that this brat would die under their Strongest attack.

A move like this was one they usually reserved for their Strongest enemies.

But they didn't know what other Great Killing Artifacts this Spirit Infant brat might have, so they had to eliminate him in a single blow.

They couldn't afford to give him another chance.

BUZZ!

However, they were stunned to see a green pearl emerge within the poisonous light of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Spirit Devouring. It spun rapidly in front of Jiang Jichen, casting down rays of green light.

It first enveloped Jiang Jichen in a green barrier of light, temporarily preventing the endless poisonous light of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Spirit Devouring from harming him.

At the same time, the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment generated a terrifying Devouring Power, completely absorbing all the poisonous light unleashed by the Poison Devouring Sect's disciples.

Finally, the ocean of Poison Skill that had surrounded Jiang Jichen suddenly vanished, fading away like a gentle breeze without leaving a single trace.

'What... what is happening?'

Everyone was stunned. They had never imagined such an outcome.

The members of the Poison Devouring Sect, in particular, were utterly shocked and dumbfounded.

"PFFT! PFFT!"

Not until someone was suddenly decapitated did they jolt back to their senses.

They only then realized what was happening.

It was Little Gray, Han Qing, and the others. They had seized the opportunity to strike from the shadows.

In just an instant, they decapitated more than ten people!

And only then did the disciples of the Poison Devouring Sect truly awaken from their stupor.

The Vice Sect Leader of the Poison Devouring Sect, Miao Que, screamed, "That... that's the Poison-Devouring Pearl! So the Sand Snake Ancestor died at your hands! And you took the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment he had! You have... a core fragment of the Poison-Devouring Pearl! You are... Jiang Jichen! HAHA! To think you'd deliver yourself right to my doorstep! I searched high and low for you, only to find you here by chance!"

Looking at the ecstatic Miao Que, Jiang Jichen said calmly, "The Sand Snake Ancestor said the same thing back then. But what was the result? He died. You'll be no exception!"

Miao Que let out a scornful laugh. "That worthless piece of trash, Sand Snake, dares to compare himself to me, the Vice Sect Leader? How utterly ignorant! What you see now is merely the surface-level strength of my Poison Devouring Sect. Do you think you can even imagine our true power?"

"Men! Deploy the Poisonous Infants! Awaken the Sect Leader!"

Finally, the Vice Sect Leader of the Poison Devouring Sect gave another order.

Immediately after, Jiang Jichen's expression turned grave. He sensed a terrifying aura, one that could threaten him.

"Benefactor, be careful! That's the most vicious Magical Treasure in the world! It's refined from living infants and is incredibly terrifying. The slightest touch will cause your flesh to dissolve and your soul to be extinguished."

Liu Tian called out an anxious warning from the side.

The very instant Liu Tian shouted his warning, the ghastly, chilling cries of a baby echoed through the air.

Following the sound, the sky over the area suddenly turned dark and gloomy.

Black clouds blotted out the sky as a sinister wind began to howl.

Then, Jiang Jichen witnessed a horrifying and dreadful scene.

The bodies of the surrounding onlookers began to tremble, as if they were witnessing the most terrifying thing in the world.
