Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

The golden light radiating from Jiang Chen grew increasingly brilliant and dazzling.

The Chaos Furnace behind him had already stopped operating; the two Mysterious Dharma Bodies were completely refined and devoured.

The power within Jiang Chen’s body was filled to the absolute brim.

His bloodline’s awakening over the past few months, along with devouring all the Spiritual Qi, Spirit Medicine, and Spiritual Ore within a hundred-mile radius, plus those two Mysterious Dharma Bodies, had allowed Jiang Chen to accumulate immense energy.

Enough to break through several realms!

”Break!”

Jiang Chen thrust his arms out, and the Golden Blood Qi suffusing the air around him rapidly converged on his body.

The individual Blood Pearls,

like iron beads drawn to a magnet, rapidly rushed toward him.

They poured into Jiang Chen’s body.

The gruesome wound on his waist began to sprout new flesh at a visible rate, slowly starting to recover.

Immortal Sword Body!

It was said that when cultivated to its peak, it granted an undying, indestructible physique capable of accelerated healing.

In just a few moments, the wound on Jiang Chen’s waist vanished without a trace, fully restored as if he had never been injured at all.

His aura also began to rise continuously.

Above the Celestial Vault, a mass of azure thunderclouds roiled, endlessly raining down lightning. Jiang Chen’s physique was incomparably tough, and he directly withstood the Thunder Power, cleansing his body of impurities and making it even purer and stronger. It was like forging steel, tempered a thousand times over.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Jiang Chen’s body trembled again and again. With each tremor, his cultivation rose to a new level!

It must be known that breakthroughs in the Human King Realm depended mainly on one’s comprehension of Mystical Techniques.

Jiang Chen’s Mystical Technique was already at Tier Five High Level. Now that he had devoured so much Mystical Essence, as well as the Mysterious Dharma Bodies of two Emperor Realm experts—which were composed of the purest Mystical Power—his own Mystical Power had also risen with incredible speed, successively breaking into the Tier Six Middle Level.

A Human King Realm Powerhouse generally only mastered Tier Five Secrets!

Reaching Tier Six was enough for an ordinary Human King to advance all the way to the Ninth Stage of Human King Realm.

Jiang Chen had already reached Tier Six Secrets.

Now, after devouring so much Mystical Essence, his cultivation naturally soared, rapidly increasing until it finally broke into the Tier Six Middle Level.

Combined with the sufficient energy he had accumulated, it was enough for him to advance several realms!

Fifth Stage of Human King Realm.

Sixth Stage of Human King Realm.

Seventh Stage of Human King Realm...

Three Life Palaces merged into the Dao Origin Void in succession.

An increase of three full realms made Jiang Chen’s blood qi as abundant as that of a Human Emperor.

Chaos Bloodline!

God-slaying Sword!

They merged, complementing each other perfectly!

This was the power of a Blood Inheritance Martial Soul!

”ROAR!”

Jiang Chen let out a heaven-shaking roar, his voice like rolling thunder, echoing across the Celestial Vault with deafening force.

A single shout scattered the clouds tens of thousands of feet high. The earth quaked and the mountains shook, the sun and moon seemed to tremble, and even the light scattered across the world wavered.

”Seventh Stage of Human King Realm? How could he advance so quickly?” Yangg Hong’s expression changed abruptly, his face a mask of disbelief.

Generally speaking, in the Martial Dao, the further one progressed, the harder it was to advance.

But for some geniuses, it was a matter of accumulating power for an explosive release!

Their progress might be slow at first, but the further they went, the faster they would advance—several times faster than their peers. Perhaps two people reached the Human King Realm at the same time, but decades later, one might already be at the Human King Peak, while the other was still stuck at the First Stage of Human King Realm.

This was a common occurrence!

But in all his life, Yangg Hong had never seen anyone whose cultivation soared as terrifyingly as Jiang Chen’s!

Jiang Chen wore an indifferent expression as he spoke. ”Fast? If you knew how many times I’ve faced death while cultivating, you wouldn’t think it’s fast at all!”

’The world only sees how fast my cultivation rises.’

’But who knows of the life-and-death struggles I’ve endured along the way?’

”Yangg Hong, have you ever wondered why the Fire Emperor sent you instead of Yang Qiong?” Jiang Chen asked, grinning as he stood suspended in the air.

Yangg Hong snorted coldly. ”The old ancestor naturally has full confidence in me. My hand is all it takes to slay you with my arrows. Why would Senior Brother Yang Qiong need to act?”

”Not at all!”

Jiang Chen shook his head. ”He didn’t send Yang Qiong because he doesn’t want to lose his right-hand man. As for you, you’re nothing but an abandoned pawn. If you manage to kill me, then it’s a happy outcome for everyone. But if you can’t, it’s no great loss for your Fengyang Ancient Country!”

Hearing this, Yangg Hong’s expression instantly turned hideous.

He was a mighty Human Emperor!

Proud and arrogant!

Yet in Jiang Chen’s words, he was just a pawn to be discarded? How could he possibly tolerate that?

Yangg Hong roared, ”Shut your mouth!”

TWANG! TWANG! TWANG!

Three arrows shot out in succession, their bloody trails creating dazzling, brilliant arcs.

Brimming with cold killing intent, they flew straight for Jiang Chen.

Unperturbed, Jiang Chen casually swung the Spirit-Slaying Sword, which was already in his hand, in an upward arc. ”Vast Land!”

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

A cold sword light swept out, causing the mountains and rivers below to tremble as one earthen-yellow peak after another rose from the ground. Each peak was a hundred zhang tall, arraying themselves before Jiang Chen like a continuous mountain range.

RUMBLE...

The arrows tore through the air with boundless power, shattering one Sword Qi Peak after another.

Only after pulverizing more than ten Sword Qi Peaks did the bloody arrows finally disintegrate.

”Nine Stars in a Row!”

Yangg Hong let out a low growl, drew his bowstring, and nocked nine arrows side-by-side. He abruptly released the string with a savage look on his face. ”Die!”

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The nine arrows flew from the string, piercing through the void and producing a series of scalp-numbing sounds.

The nine arrows were staggered.

As they flew, the centermost arrow was the fastest. The arrows to its sides continuously slowed down, falling in behind the one in front. The nine arrows formed a perfect line as they shot into the continuous range of Sword Qi Peaks.

BANG! BANG!

Two peaks collapsed in succession, and the second arrow followed close behind.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Another three Sword Qi Peaks were destroyed, and the third arrow arrived, charging toward the sixth Sword Qi Peak.

Several arrows followed one after another.

They completely obliterated the mountain range, and the remaining four arrows shot toward Jiang Chen simultaneously.

Every arrow was stained with the blood of a Human Emperor!

The corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth lifted in a cold smile. ”Star Luo Destruction!”

SWOOSH!

A river of stars-like Sword Aura slashed across the sky, as if a single strike had severed the Milky Way and torn the boundless starry expanse in two. Under the onslaught of the unparalleled Sword Aura, the arrows were forcefully knocked off course, flying far into the distance.

”Eighteen Linked Emperor-Slaying Arrows!”

Unflustered, Yangg Hong let out a low roar. This time, eighteen arrows shot out at once.

The eighteen arrows sped through the air, rotating around and complementing one another, actually merging into a single, massive arrow.

The pulsating, blood-red arrow shot straight for Jiang Chen.

”Vast Land!”

Jiang Chen repeatedly activated the Sword Technique, but against the combined might of the eighteen arrows, the continuous mountain range became incredibly fragile.

”Heaven and Earth Split!”

With a single strike, it was as if day and night had shifted, clearly separating black and white.

A massive Sword Aura completely obscured Jiang Chen’s figure. He flickered, dodging the arrow’s attack. A cold glint flashed across his golden Eyes of the Heavens as he uttered a true incantation: ”Five Thunder Secret Technique—Thunder World!”

RUMBLE!

Bolts of lightning suddenly appeared around Yangg Hong, forming a Divine Thought Small World that enveloped him.

Countless bolts of lightning, like Spiritual Snakes, crazily attacked Yangg Hong.

Yangg Hong fired arrow after arrow to attack the lightning, but within the Thunder Little World, lightning was everywhere; he couldn’t defend against it all. Amidst the booming roars, Yangg Hong was left disheveled, his body battered by the lightning until it was a mess of torn flesh and scorched black patches.

Yangg Hong took out an arrow, bit the tip of his tongue, and let his blood stain the arrowhead. He roared, ”Illusion-Breaking Arrow!”

SWISH!

This arrow was incredibly fast. Wherever it passed, the lightning actually retreated. Yangg Hong followed closely behind it and charged out of the Thunder Little World.

The moment he stepped out of the Thunder Little World, before Yangg Hong even had a chance to catch his breath, his expression changed, and he tried to retreat.

Right in front of him, Jiang Chen’s face was mere inches away.

A cold Sword Aura was already slashing toward him. His vision filled with brilliant sword light as Jiang Chen’s cold sneer echoed in his ears: ”Too late!”
