Myriad Daos of the Heaven

In fact, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered.

After all, whether it was Jiang Jichen annihilating the Poison Devouring Sect or the Thirteen Stone Collectors coming to collect their stones...

...both were major events that could shake Chaotic City to its core.

For nearly the entire day, this was the only topic of conversation in all of Chaotic City.

With the Poison Devouring Sect destroyed, Jiang Jichen became the center of attention.

His past was dug up and put on display.

Ultimately, they learned that Jiang Jichen had actually stepped into another world, a higher plane of the Celestial Dao.

He was an Extreme Genius from the Mortal World!

"If he continues to grow, he might become another Xuanyuan Qingyi!"

Some people even voiced such opinions.

Therefore, everyone wanted to see Jiang Jichen in the flesh.

With the added spectacle of the Thirteen Stone Collectors coming to collect their stones, an even larger crowd swarmed the area outside the Luochen Sect to watch.

At first, they thought Jiang Jichen was out of luck and would be forced to submit.

After all, the powers behind the Thirteen Stone Collectors were unimaginably strong.

Even if Jiang Jichen was an Extreme Genius, he couldn’t possibly resist them.

However, the moment these thirteen Stone Collectors stepped into the Luochen Sect...

...they were immediately swept out the door.

The surrounding onlookers only saw a storm of Spiritual Power, like a dragon soaring through the sky, directly sweeping the thirteen men off their feet.

"THUD! THUD!"

The thirteen Stone Collectors had no control over their bodies as they were sent flying by the storm of Spiritual Power, landing on the ground in an utterly wretched state.

This time, they had lost face completely!

The Thirteen Stone Collectors ran rampant through Chaotic City. Who would dare disrespect them?

But now, in front of everyone, they had been thrown to the ground, their hair disheveled, looking like beggars.

An absolute, public humiliation!

"Jiang Jichen, you’re courting death!"

"Jiang Jichen, my Death Organization will uproot your Luochen Sect and slaughter every last one of you!"

"Jiang Jichen, just you wait! How dare you offend us."

"ARGH... I’m going to use his skull as a wine cup!"

...

The thirteen Stone Collectors were completely incensed, practically exploding with rage.

They roared and bellowed, their Killing Intent surging to the heavens!

At the same time, they began sending messages back to their organizations, calling for reinforcements.

The onlookers trembled as they watched this scene unfold.

"Something big is about to happen. The moment Jiang Jichen of the Luochen Sect entered Chaotic City, he first annihilated the Poison Devouring Sect, and now he’s immediately going up against the thirteen factions."

"Jiang Jichen is truly a fierce character of his generation, but this is like an egg hitting a rock—he’s seeking his own destruction!"

"You can’t really say that. The Thirteen Stone Collectors were being too unreasonable. Each faction demanded two hundred thousand Six Paths Middle Level Spirit Stones. They wanted Jiang Jichen to spit out everything he gained from the Poison Devouring Sect. Who could possibly tolerate that?"

...

The calm before the storm!

A heavy pressure settled between heaven and earth.

A major event was about to occur in Chaotic City.

Inside the Luochen Sect, Jiang Jichen sat steadily on the Sect Leader’s throne. He looked at his pale-faced disciples and said, "A true man born into this world should fear no battle. We who walk the path of cultivation are cultivating the Great Dao of life and death. Your Dao Hearts still need to be solidified!"

Jiang Jichen spoke calmly.

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, the disciples were shaken, feeling as though they’d just had a rude awakening.

In that instant, they suddenly understood why their cultivation had stagnated for so many years.

They had gone from geniuses to mediocrities!

It was because they had lost their will to fight, their drive to advance.

Worse, their willpower had been worn down by fear and terror.

They had lost the heart for battle, lost the hot-blooded passion and the fearless courage of their youth.

"A true expert needs a Fearless Heart!"

Jiang Jichen’s voice now rang through the air like a sacred chant, filled with the intent of the Great Dao.

He was preaching the Dao!

Now that these people had become disciples of the Luochen Sect, he had to make them stronger.

And the first step, naturally, was to awaken the heart of an expert within them.

"Fearless!"

"Fearless!"

"Fearless!"

The members of the Luochen Sect felt as though they were hearing the toll of morning bells and evening drums, achieving a sudden enlightenment in their hearts.

The disciples’ voices were unified, containing the fearless conviction now blooming in their hearts.

In that moment, their aura effortlessly suppressed the shouts of the thirteen Stone Collectors.

In terms of presence, it was a complete and utter rout.

"Damn it!"

The thirteen Stone Collectors all had savage expressions, their hatred for the people of the Luochen Sect now bone-deep.

"I’ll slaughter every last one of them!"

They roared, staring coldly at the main gate of the Luochen Sect.

The Poison Devouring Sect had been erased. The gate was now brand new, and upon it were written the words "Luochen Sect".

"First, we destroy their gate!"

The thirteen Stone Collectors were now so enraged they had nearly lost their minds.

They were all old monsters at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, existences on the same level as the Sand Snake Ancestor.

At this time, several of the Stone Collectors—the ones from the six major powers—made their move.

"Destruction!"

Five of the Stone Collectors gathered power in their hands and struck the Luochen Sect’s gate.

"BOOM!"

Five enormous Palm Seals descended. A blow like this could obliterate a mountain...

...let alone a mere gate.

However, a shocking scene unfolded.

The combined strike of the five Stone Collectors had only managed to chip a corner of the Luochen Sect’s gate.

The powerful Palm Power they had unleashed was dissolved by a burst of light from a Restriction on the gate.

"It’s a Defensive Restriction Array. Otherwise, that gate would have been destroyed."

"Yes, this Restriction Array is not simple. It must have been laid by a Master of Restriction. Moreover, this Restriction can absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power to automatically repair itself."

"But if it’s attacked continuously, it will still be broken. What a pity."

"Destroying a sect’s gate is like destroying its face. If the Luochen Sect’s gate is destroyed, even if they manage to establish themselves in Chaotic City, they’ll become a laughingstock!"

...

The crowd discussed in low voices. Meanwhile, the five men who had joined forces for one attack still couldn’t destroy a single gate.

They felt this was the ultimate mockery.

This only made them even more furious.

"Attack again! I refuse to believe we can’t break this trash Restriction Array and destroy this Luochen Sect!"

The five Stone Collectors roared, preparing to strike again.

The previous strike was just a casual blow.

Now that they knew the gate had a Defensive Restriction, they began to take it seriously and prepared to use their real power.

"Hmph, you’re courting death!"

However, just as they were about to launch their strike, a cold voice, heavy with suppressed murderous rage, came from within the Luochen Sect.

It was, of course, Jiang Jichen. His heart was now filled with ice-cold Killing Intent.

The gate to the Luochen Sect had been personally created by the Luochen Fairy, who had also laid down the Defensive Array.

Now that the Luochen Fairy was gone, this gate held an extraordinary significance for Jiang Jichen.

Luochen Fairy, Luochen Sect, who would say Lingchen doesn’t love a Fairy?

Jiang Jichen knew why the Luochen Fairy had personally built the gate of the Luochen Sect and laid down such a shocking Defensive Restriction.

This Restriction was wondrous; it could autonomously absorb nature’s spiritual energy to restore and strengthen itself.

The longer it went without being attacked, the stronger it would become.

If the Luochen Sect wasn’t attacked for ten years, the Defensive Restriction on the gate would become so powerful that these people could attack it all they wanted and still fail to break it.

But the Luochen Fairy had just left, and the gate she had personally built was already under attack, its Defensive Restriction nearly destroyed.

Right now, the Defensive Array was like a newborn infant—very fragile.

It needed to be nurtured, not attacked.

But these five Stone Collectors had already struck it once and were about to destroy it completely.

SHLICK! SHLICK!

The moment that voice rang out, the five Stone Collectors’ hands were severed at the wrist.

The Palm Power they had been about to unleash was instantly swept away by the sleeve of a figure who had suddenly appeared.

"AHHH..."

The five screamed in agony, their eyes filled with horror as they stared at their severed wrists, from which blood was now gushing.

"I already warned you. Since none of you want to leave, then you can all leave your lives behind!"

Because of the Luochen Fairy’s departure, there was a well of Killing Intent in his heart with nowhere to go.

Now, these people had just detonated his murderous thoughts.
