Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

”To defeat you, I need only a single finger!”

Jiang Chen stepped down from the Gold throne. A calm smile touched his lips, and his gaze, as placid as the water in an ancient well, landed on Beast Nine.

Beast Nine!

Once one of the Ten Great Young Venerables of the Ten Great Dynasties!

He was also the greatest prodigy of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!

He had cultivated the Dao of Beast Taming since childhood and mastered many of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s Marvelous Techniques. Among the Ten Great Venerables, his cultivation wasn’t the highest, but he was the most troublesome opponent.

Before this...

No one had ever dared to tell Beast Nine they could defeat him with a single finger!

The smug smile on Beast Nine’s face slowly faded, replaced by a grim expression. His eyes narrowed into slits, a cold light glinting within them.

Such blatant disregard and provocation!

How could the proud and arrogant Beast Nine, once a Young Venerable, not be enraged by this?

”Hahaha...”

Beast Nine let out a harsh, grating laugh, like a broken copper gong. His pupils constricted into vertical slits, like a serpent’s, glinting with a cold light. ”No wonder Lan Haichen wants to kill you. You really are infuriating. Jiang Chen, do you know, ever since you kicked me off the Venerable List, I’ve been curious what kind of peerless talent you were! But...”

Beast Nine shook his head slightly, his expression thick with disdain and mockery.

In his eyes, Jiang Chen had just gotten lucky and obtained a large number of Cyan Radiance Stones.

’He’s nothing special!’

He sneered, ”Today I finally met you, but I’m very disappointed! I really don’t know how someone with your meager talent, at the mere Heavenly Destiny Realm Sixth Stage, managed to get so many Cyan Radiance Stones. However, it doesn’t matter anymore, because after today, you, Jiang Chen, will completely disappear from this world!”

”When you’re in Hell, don’t forget the one who killed you was me, Beast Nine of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!”

Beast Nine fell silent.

His right hand slapped a leather pouch on his waist.

This was the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s Beast Taming Bag!

One should not underestimate this Beast Taming Bag. Although it was only an Earth Tier High-level Profound Weapon, its value was no less than that of a Celestial-tier Profound Weapon!

For it was an extremely precious Spatial Profound Weapon.

ROAR—

AWOO—

A series of deafening roars pierced the Celestial Vault as dark figures materialized before Jiang Chen.

One, two, three...

A total of ten Demon Beasts flew out of the Beast Taming Bag.

Every one of these ten Demon Beasts was Tier Three High Level, comparable to a master at the Heavenly Destiny Realm Ninth Stage. Most notably, two of them were Golden Flame Suanni wreathed in raging flames—terrifying Exotic Beasts that possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Fierce Beast Suanni.

Each Golden Flame Suanni was powerful enough to rival a Half-Step Union Palace Realm master!

Standing behind his pack of beasts, Beast Nine sneered, ”Jiang Chen, enjoy the feast of beasts I’ve prepared just for you!”

ROAR—

On the left, four ferocious Demon Beasts swooped down fiercely.

Two black-winged tigers roared, spitting columns of dark light from their mouths.

The other two were Cyan Light Giant Crocodiles. Their bodies, covered in incredibly hard armor, pulsed with a cyan glow. They opened their cavernous maws, revealing two rows of sawtooth fangs that glinted with a sinister white light.

On the right were four blood-red Fiery Heaven Pythons.

These eight Demon Beasts attacked Jiang Chen from different directions. The black columns of light carried Destruction Power. The two Cyan Light Giant Crocodiles were immensely strong; if they bit down, even an Earth Tier High-level Profound Weapon would be snapped in two.

Those four blood-red Fiery Heaven Pythons were all extremely venomous!

”The Dao of Beast Taming? A mere trivial path!” Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

He showed not the slightest fear, nor did he make any move to evade.

He charged forward, straight into the fray!

Treading on air, he gathered the dark golden light surrounding him into his fist, forming a fist projection that pulsed with a dark golden glow. The projection, as large as a small house, shot forward, growing ever larger and more dazzling.

BOOM—

This fist collided with the black pillar of Destruction Power, forcibly shattering it.

Under the impact of the golden fist projection, the two charging Cyan Light Giant Crocodiles trembled violently before their bodies suddenly burst apart.

A shower of blood rained down!

”ROAR!”

The two black-winged tigers roared, flapping their pitch-black wings and whipping up a chaotic storm.

The storm raged forward.

The Floating Battlefield contained mountains and rivers. But under the howling gales whipped up by the two black-winged tigers, trees were torn out by the roots and rivers reversed their course. The fierce winds buffeted Jiang Chen, whipping his robes and hair, yet his stance remained utterly unshaken.

”Endless Universe!”

He formed a sword with his finger and thrust it forward.

SWISH SWISH SWISH—

A rain of blood-red sword light burst forth, shredding the violent winds.

The sky-blotting rain of blood-red sword light mercilessly slaughtered both black-winged tigers and all four Fiery Heaven Pythons.

Within the Floating Battlefield.

Beast Nine’s expression flickered. The disdain vanished, replaced by a grave look. ’He destroyed eight of my War Beasts in the blink of an eye? Jiang Chen’s strength is far greater than I expected! However...’ He gave a cold smile. ”My Golden Flame Suanni are not so easy to deal with!”

A large golden bow suddenly appeared in his hand.

An ice-cold arrow materialized in his palm.

At the same time...

Beast Nine gave a low roar, ”Suanni, get him!”

ROAR!

The two Golden Flame Suanni both let out a low roar as brilliant golden flames erupted from their bodies, wrapping around them.

They were like two demonic flame berserkers!

Their four hooves began to move, their hundred-meter-long bodies instantly closing the distance to Jiang Chen.

A sea of fire spread out.

Jiang Chen was instantly engulfed in the sea of fire, where terrifying, scorching pillars of flame erupted continuously, striking at him.

”Mere parlor tricks!”

Jiang Chen sneered contemptuously.

’Flames? Before my Fire Sword Intent advanced to Tier Three, the flames of a Golden Flame Suanni might have given me a headache. But now, with my mastery of Tier Three Fire Sword Intent, my control over the Flame Dao is far more formidable!’

HUM!

A ripple of invisible Sword Intent materialized around his body.

The erupting flames were completely unable to get close to him.

”Damned human!”

”You dare provoke our master? Die!”

The two Golden Flame Suanni spoke in human tongue, their enormous, frigid eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.

They opened their mouths at the same time, two golden fireballs forming within, and suddenly spat them at Jiang Chen.

This was the Golden Flame Suanni’s Lifebound True Flame!

Carrying a trace of the bloodline power of the Ancient Fierce Beast Suanni, it was said to be able to incinerate everything!

”Galaxy Nine Heavens!”

”Yellow Springs and Green Fall!”

Jiang Chen unleashed two sword strikes in quick succession. The first transformed into a sharp Sword Aura, gathering into a galaxy descending from the Nine Heavens to crash against the two golden fireballs. Immediately after, with a flick of his sword, he created a murky, yellow Sword Qi River. With a deafening roar, the river of Sword Qi swallowed both Golden Flame Suanni whole.

”ROAR...”

”NO...”

The two Golden Flame Suanni shrieked as the Yellow Springs Sword Qi ground them down, their heads exploding as they died!

However...

Before Jiang Chen could even register his victory, a sharp glint of an arrow tore through the air and—BOOM—struck him right in the heart.

BANG—

Jiang Chen was sent flying by this sudden arrow.

His body flew backward, smashing through one mountain peak after another, finally crashing with a BOOM deep into the ground.

Billowing dust and debris filled the air.

Beast Nine maintained his archery stance, a smug smile plastered on his face. ”Hahaha, you still dare boast you could defeat me with one finger? How shameless! Jiang Chen, oh Jiang Chen, in the end, you still died to my Arrow of Death!”

”Do you really think so?”

A calm voice suddenly came from beneath the ground.

Beast Nine’s expression changed drastically.

Following that...

A golden figure burst from the ground and soared into the sky.

The golden light on Jiang Chen’s body receded into him. A faint smile played on his lips as he looked at Beast Nine and pointed a finger. ”Star’s First Finger—Star-Breaking!”

SWISH—

Before Jiang Chen’s fingertip, points of starlight appeared.

The points of starlight condensed into a colossal, brilliant finger. As he thrust it forward, it was as if all the stars in the cosmos had converged on that single point—vast, boundless, and moving at unbelievable speed.

*Star Pointing Finger*, the Celestial-Tier Low-Level Martial Skill Jiang Chen had acquired after killing Jiang Ziyou!

This finger seemed as if it could truly shatter stars!

BOOM—

The finger arrived in an instant. Before the smug smile could even fade from Beast Nine’s face, it had already struck him, submerging him in streams of starlight.

Though it appeared as a single finger, it contained countless stars that rapidly slammed into Beast Nine’s body.

Piercing his body!

PFFT PFFT PFFT—

Beast Nine convulsed violently, his entire body turned into a sieve. Not even a complete corpse was left!

With a single finger, he had annihilated a Young Venerable!

This scene left everyone utterly shocked...
