Chapter 656: Chapter 653: Heaven’s Killing Intent
At this moment, Jiang Jichen possessed a power that surpassed the limits of the Nascent Soul Realm, enough to battle a Saint!
Facing the Transcenders, who wielded the might of Middle-Level Saints, Jiang Jichen was fearless. In fact, his heart surged with fighting spirit.
He also wanted to test just how powerful he had become after five years in seclusion.
In the Six Paths Illusion Realm, absolutely no one could withstand a single one of his attacks!
Now that four Transcenders had come to kill him, it was the perfect opportunity for an all-out battle.
Jiang Jichen had long predicted that as soon as he left the Six Paths Illusion Realm, Great Powers would cross over to kill him.
After all, the Seven-Colored Spiritual Vein was a taboo existence spoken of only in myths, and no Great Power Figure wanted to see him mature.
He just hadn’t expected them to arrive so quickly.
Jiang Jichen moved at his top speed, appearing beside the four of them in a flash.
BOOM!
As he materialized a meter away from them, a terrifying Secret Power blocked him from advancing any further.
The might of a Saint could not be violated!
This was an ability unique to Middle-Level Saints—they automatically formed a defensive barrier of Secret Power to protect their Saintly Might from being violated.
However, Jiang Jichen had anticipated this. Halting a meter away, he threw a punch.
Annihilation Fist, Fourth Form: Six Paths Collapse!
The Fist Intent of this form was centered on collapse and annihilation. If cultivated to the Supreme Realm, even the Six Paths Rules would crumble before it, completely unstoppable.
So, how could a Saint’s might possibly block a punch from this Body Cultivator?
CRACK!
The defensive barrier of Secret Power in front of the four shattered. They were thrown back by Jiang Jichen’s tyrannical Fist Intent and sent flying off Heaven-Gazing Peak.
But Jiang Jichen was even faster. He shadowed them, locked onto the white-robed youth, and slammed into him, using his own body as a weapon.
BANG!
Even with the power of the Saint Fourth Realm, the youth still couldn’t react in time.
It was all because Jiang Jichen’s attack was simply too sudden.
Who could have imagined that this Nascent Soul Cultivator—a man who was as good as dead, an ant in their eyes—would not only be utterly fearless but would also dare to attack them first?
That was one thing, but what was truly unexpected was Jiang Jichen’s strength.
How could a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator possess such immense power?
This power surpassed the very limits of the Nascent Soul Realm!
The white-robed youth was sent flying, his body feeling as if it would shatter, and he coughed up blood as he retreated.
In a clash of physical bodies, even a being at the Saint Fourth Realm was no match for Jiang Jichen.
But just how powerful was a Saint at the Fourth Realm who was also at the Great Power Level?
He circulated his Holy Power, and his entire body erupted in a brilliant Holy Light. The white-robed youth was instantly restored to his original state. In fact, his aura was even more potent than before, making him seem even stronger.
’As expected, even having surpassed the limits of the Nascent Soul Realm, it’s simply impossible to slay a Middle Saint of this Great Power Level.’
’With my current power, I can at most slay an ordinary Saint of the First to Third Realm!’
Jiang Jichen silently drew a conclusion about his current power.
At the same time, the four Transcenders reacted, instantly surrounding Jiang Jichen.
The white-robed youth in particular was incensed. To be sent flying and coughing up blood in front of all the cultivators of the Mortal World was an absolute humiliation.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Realm itself would likely be shamed because of him.
Thus, he was the most furious of them all, his heart filled with boundless resentment and killing intent for Jiang Jichen.
"Jiang Jichen, you have succeeded in infuriating me. But for that, you will die an even more miserable death!"
The white-robed youth was now unharmed, his aura potent and wreathed in an endlessly terrifying Holy Light.
As he spoke, he took the initiative and charged at Jiang Jichen.
Jiang Jichen said nothing.
One Corner of the Sky Killing Array appeared in his hand, and he swept it toward the charging white-robed youth.
The white-robed youth raised his hand. His Saintly Might surged to the heavens, his power boundless. The Power of Destruction churned between heaven and earth as it descended upon Jiang Jichen.
But Jiang Jichen only advanced, never retreating, pushing the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array to its absolute limit.
VMMMM!
The heavens unleashed their killing intent, the stars shifted in their courses, heaven and earth inverted, and all creation turned to ash!
A terrifying scene manifested as Jiang Jichen truly unleashed the power of the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array.
It now possessed a wisp of an aura truly capable of slaying the heavens.
The white-robed youth’s attack was incomparably terrifying, yet under the power of Jiang Jichen’s One Corner of the Sky Killing Array, it was reduced to the Void.
PFFT!
The next moment, the white-robed youth’s body shuddered, and he unexpectedly coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"This..."
For a brief instant, it was as if time had stopped.
Even his three companions—the little boy, the old woman, and the black-robed old man—stared blankly at the white-robed youth, never imagining such a dramatic scene would unfold.
As for Jiang Jichen, he was just as dumbfounded. He had no idea the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array possessed such a bizarre power!
It could apparently emit a strange, vibrating force that could bypass personal defenses and turn a person’s clothes to ash.
That wisp of vibrating force was very weak—not strong at all—and couldn’t cause a person any physical harm.
And yet, it seemed that even the defenses of a Saint in the Ninth Realm would be unable to block this faint, vibrating force.
It wasn’t strong, but it was enough to turn clothes to ash. Nothing more!
’This vibrating force is only released when I sweep out with the Azure Heaven Killing Array, and it seems I can only use it once a day.’
"AHH!"
The young Transcender let out a bloodcurdling scream.
At that moment, he felt like he was going to lose his mind.
To be exposed like this in broad daylight, floating in mid-air for all the world to see.
From this day forward, this would be a lifelong shame that could never be washed away.
The most terrifying thought was: what if someone was recording this with an Imaging Stone?
Just thinking about it made the young Transcender wish he were dead.
At that moment, his hatred for Jiang Jichen surged to the heavens. He felt that even drinking his blood and eating his flesh would not be enough to quell the loathing in his heart.
The young Transcender reacted with incredible speed. A hazy glow suddenly enveloped his body, blocking the gazes of the onlookers.
Only after changing his clothes did he reappear.
The little boy Transcender looked at the youth with a strange glint in his eye and said, "So, yours is even smaller than mine, haha... I thought I was the only one who couldn’t grow bigger, but I can’t believe a grown man like you has one as exquisitely tiny as a toothpick!"
"Hilarious! This is great, just great! Haha..."
The little boy Transcender roared with laughter and began jumping up and down with glee.
The young Transcender was so mortified he could have died.
The little boy had struck a nerve.
The old woman and the black-robed old man had seen it too, of course. The sight was so cringe-worthy that their faces darkened with exasperation.
Jiang Jichen sighed and said, "Alas, Toothpick Man, you might as well just castrate yourself. It’s not like there’s much of a difference."
"As it happens, I have a Supreme, Unparalleled Technique that would be perfect for you to cultivate. But there’s a catch: to master this technique, one must first castrate oneself."
"If you can master it, you’ll surely rise in the east, remaining forever undefeated, and laugh proudly across the Nine Heavens!"
The young Transcender’s face turned ashen, so enraged he nearly coughed up blood. Jiang Jichen’s venomous tongue had rendered him speechless.
It was the old woman who finally spoke up. "Stop wasting time! Let’s just kill this brat first!"
"His Great Killing Artifact has a cooldown. There’s no need to fear it anymore!"
And so, the four Transcenders joined forces and charged.
The young Transcender instantly entered a Frenzy, his power skyrocketing to the Sixth Layer of the Saint Realm—the absolute limit for a Middle Saint!
