Myriad Daos of the Heaven

The one who died was a Beastman leader. After being slain, his body reverted to that of a Giant Tiger.

Its head fell to one side, eyes wide open, still showing a look of utter disbelief.

"You... Who are you?"

A single blast of Sword Qi could decapitate an invader leader. How could such a powerful person possibly be a nobody?

This time, they had clearly picked a fight with the wrong person.

At that moment, one of the leaders from the Human Race asked in terror.

Han Qing grinned coldly. "I'm your daddy!"

As he spoke, he was already moving. Using his body as a weapon, he sent the nearest Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator flying.

With a flicker, Little Gray darted out, swinging his Big Bone Saber and cleaving the man in two.

Jiang Jichen had the Ghost Gang watch over the group of people behind them, while he himself strode forward to join the slaughter.

At that moment, Jiang Jichen became a veritable Killing God, wielding his Holy Sword in a merciless slaughter.

He carved a path straight toward the two leaders.

"SHINK!"

"SHINK!"

"SHINK!"

...

The invaders here were strong, but none could withstand a single blow from Jiang Jichen's sword. He cut them down with ease, clearing a path to the two leaders.

"You ask who I am? Do you think you're worthy of knowing my name?"

'With people like this, the only way to make them feel fear is to act even more arrogant and superior than they are.'

"We're willing to surrender! We beg you, sir, spare us!"

The two invader leaders cried out.

"If you're surrendering, then you must seal your own Cultivation!"

Jiang Jichen said coldly, the Holy Sword in his hand trembling, ready to strike at any moment.

Hearing this, the group of invaders felt a strange sense of familiarity.

But their opponent was too strong; they were in no position to resist or refuse.

"We're willing to seal our Cultivation! We hope you will be true to your word, sir!"

The two leaders cried out.

Then, they began to seal their Cultivation.

However, before their Cultivation was fully sealed, Jiang Jichen mercilessly raised his Holy Sword and cut down the Undead invader leader.

"You... Why did you go back on your word?"

The Human Race invader leader beside him, who had just finished sealing his own Cultivation, shrieked in terror.

"An ant like you... what right do you have to speak to me of promises?"

"Die!"

Jiang Jichen swung his Holy Sword again.

In that moment, the invaders suddenly realized—these were the exact words they had spoken to the old town elder earlier.

A moment ago, the townspeople had been nothing but ants in their eyes.

But now, in Jiang Jichen's eyes, they were no different.

In the blink of an eye, the tables had turned.

"Agh, no...!"

The Human Race invader leader let out a desperate, unwilling scream.

But Jiang Jichen remained merciless. When the leader's Spirit Infant tried to flee, Jiang Jichen immediately crushed it with the Soul Refining Banner, absorbing its Divine Soul.

"When you look upon others as ants, you never consider that in the eyes of someone stronger, you are nothing more than an ant yourself. What gave you the right to be so arrogant?"

Jiang Jichen said coldly.

His figure flashed again as he, Little Gray, and Han Qing went on a rampage, slaughtering every last invader.

Just then, several more groups of people arrived. Seeing the scene before them, they were shocked into silence.

'Logically, all the truly powerful experts should have already headed for the New Domain. But now, another terrifying figure has emerged out of nowhere.'

'Who is he?'

The question arose in the minds of the Cultivators from the six major regions of the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

Since they weren't from Chaotic City, they naturally didn't recognize Jiang Jichen.

Han Qing and Little Gray were off to the side, cleaning up the battlefield. They looted all of the invaders' Storage Bags, leaving nothing behind.

They didn't touch a single one belonging to the fallen townspeople, however.

Jiang Jichen looked at the few remaining townspeople. There were about fifty of them left, more than a dozen of whom were children.

He glanced at the group and said, "This place has become a deathtrap. It's not suitable for you to stay here. After you've taken care of your loved ones' remains, follow the map's directions to the Luochen Sect in Chaotic City. Find Zhou Qiang, and he will make arrangements for you."

In the end, Jiang Jichen felt a pang of compassion. Besides, it was a small effort on his part.

It was mainly because of the children; Jiang Jichen couldn't bring himself to ignore them.

"Thank you, benefactor!"

The people said gratefully.

Then they began using their Storage Bags to collect the bodies of their fellow townspeople.

The newcomers were completely intimidated by Jiang Jichen. How could they possibly dare to pass through the town now?

As long as Jiang Jichen didn't leave, they certainly wouldn't dare to.

Moreover, when someone in the crowd heard "Chaotic City" and "Luochen Sect," they had a sudden realization. "Could he be Jiang Jichen, the one who's become so famous recently?"

"The Luochen Sect Master who possesses such heaven-defying combat power even at the Spirit Infant Realm? It has to be him!"

"Ah, no wonder he's so powerful!"

As the crowd realized Jiang Jichen's identity, they grew even more fearful and didn't dare to act out of line.

'They're pretty lucky, being able to join the Luochen Sect.'

'But the people he just killed were supposedly subordinates of the Three Great Villains. When Jiang Jichen enters the New Domain, he'll probably be ambushed by them.'

'It's one thing that the Three Great Villains are all top-forty experts on the Six Paths Illusion Realm's rankings. The truly terrifying part is that they follow Zhongg Qiu, who's ranked fifth. No matter how strong Jiang Jichen is, he's no match for someone in the top ten.'

The crowd murmured amongst themselves.

Naturally, their discussions did not escape his senses.

But he paid them no mind.

He waited quietly for the townspeople to gather their things and depart before he, along with Little Gray, Han Qing, and Youu, stepped into the New Domain.

At the edge of the town, they passed through a strange curtain of light and entered the world of the New Domain.

The moment he entered, Jiang Jichen sensed how different the New Domain was.

The Six Paths Spiritual Energy here carried an exceptionally pure aura, as if touched by a wisp of the primordial Dao.

Cultivating here would be far faster than in the outside world.

After all, every breath was filled with such High Grade Six Paths Spiritual Energy.

This was a nascent world, yet it felt ancient, as if it had existed for countless ages.

Ancient trees towered into the sky and mountain ranges stretched to the horizon. Strange grasses grew in dense patches and exotic flowers bloomed everywhere. From the depths of the New Domain, the roars of terrifying Fierce Beasts echoed.

A casual sweep of Jiang Jichen's Divine Thought revealed many exceptional Spirit Medicines.

However, at his current Realm, these Spirit Medicines were no longer worthy of his notice.

But the Medicine Gatherers wouldn't pass them up; taken outside, they could still fetch a good price.

Jiang Jichen and his companions didn't linger, heading straight for Six Paths Peak.

"ROAR!"

However, as Jiang Jichen and his group crossed a valley, a black bear the size of a small mountain charged out in pursuit.

A Half-step Holy Beast Realm!

The black bear was terrifyingly strong, its combat power likely equivalent to an expert of the Human Race's Little Saint Realm.

Jiang Jichen and his companions didn't engage it, simply using their speed to get away.

Fierce Beasts, unlike Beastmen, were unable to take on human form.

They could only do so if they reached the Realm of the Ten Ancient Fiends.

Jiang Jichen continued on his way, encountering many powerful Fierce Beasts, but managed to evade them all.

「Three days later.」

They finally arrived at the foot of Six Paths Peak.
