Myriad Daos of the Heaven

A peerless killing intent shook the heavens and bore down upon the earth. In its path, all things turned to ash!

The attack from the Supreme Minor Grandmaster of the Innate Ninth Realm was terrifyingly powerful, something that neither Jiang Jichen nor Yee Youmeng could have withstood.

But now, as the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array emerged, all those attacks disintegrated, turning to nothingness.

Back in Cyan Moon City, Jiang Jichen had only been at the Innate Third Level Spirit Cultivation Realm, yet when he activated the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array, he had wiped out a group of Minor Grandmasters at the Innate Seventh Layer and even severely wounded two Minor Grandmasters at the Innate Eighth Layer.

Now, at the Innate Sixth Layer Initial Stage, his activation of the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array was terrifying beyond imagination, faintly capable of threatening even a Grandmaster.

The higher his Cultivation, the greater the power he could unleash from the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array. As for its limit, Jiang Jichen felt it could probably threaten those at the Foundation Establishment Realm or perhaps even higher existences.

Moreover, this One Corner of the Sky Killing Array was a major part of the second array formation. As it absorbed essence blood and continuously recovered, it would only grow stronger!

"Ah, what is this Ultimate Killing Artifact? No...!"

The Supreme Minor Grandmaster of the Innate Ninth Realm screamed. His defenses offered no resistance whatsoever, instantly destroyed by the boundless killing intent, which then pierced through his body. In a flash, his flesh was mangled beyond recognition. He howled like a wounded beast.

The three Innate Eighth Layer Spirit Cultivators who had rushed over from the lake were about to attack, but they froze in place, watching the scene in utter terror.

*BURST!*

Amidst his screams, the body of this Supreme Minor Grandmaster of the Innate Ninth Realm burst open, turning into a mist of blood that was ultimately absorbed by the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array. One of the patterns on its surface grew a little clearer.

After annihilating the Supreme Minor Grandmaster of the Innate Ninth Realm, Jiang Jichen casually withdrew the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array.

At that moment, his face was deathly pale, and the condition of his body was dire.

Solitary Yin, Solitary Yang, Void Shadowless, the Violent Spirit Secret Technique, and the Azure Heaven Killing Array!

These were all Magic Techniques that came at the cost of harming his body, or Mysterious Skills that could only be used once a day, yet Jiang Jichen had deployed nearly all of them within the span of a few dozen breaths.

The price he had to pay for all this was unimaginable!

But Jiang Jichen could not collapse now. He stared coldly at the young master, Wei Xiaohao, spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, and said in a hoarse voice, "Now, let’s see who’s the one courting death!"

As he spoke, Yee Youmeng moved even faster. She took a single step forward, her large machete silently swinging toward Young Master Wei Xiaohao’s neck.

’Damn it, she’s going for a decapitation again!’

Jiang Jichen was speechless for a moment, then could only shout, "Spare his life for now!"

As his voice fell, Yee Youmeng’s large machete came to a halt right at Wei Xiaohao’s neck. The blade’s edge sliced a faint, bloody line, from which only a thin trickle of blood oozed out.

To wield such a heavy large machete with such incredible speed, and then to stop it on a dime—such Saber Technique had truly reached a state of Mastery. Even Jiang Jichen was mesmerized.

Combined with Yee Youmeng’s small, slender frame, the sight of her wielding such a large machete further highlighted the sublime artistic conception of her Saber Technique.

In contrast, Young Master Wei Xiaohao was ashen-faced. The feeling of the enormous machete on his neck, ready to slice off his head at any moment, brought him to the verge of collapse from the pressure and terror.

He was still young, having just turned fourteen. Although his Cultivation had already reached the Innate Seventh Layer Initial Realm, his mental fortitude was pathetically weak. That was why he had been completely unable to dodge Yee Youmeng’s opportunistic strike.

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s voice, Yee Youmeng looked at him in confusion.

"Cough, a hostage!"

Jiang Jichen said, after coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Yee Youmeng understood Jiang Jichen’s meaning and simply let go, allowing the full weight of the large machete to press down on Wei Xiaohao’s shoulder.

*THUD!*

Wei Xiaohao suddenly felt his shoulder sink. It was as if a small mountain had been dropped on him, the shockwave injuring his internal organs.

A chill ran through Wei Xiaohao’s heart. ’This large machete is actually this heavy,’ he thought, ’and just a moment ago, it was aimed at my neck.’

"I surrender! Sir, the blade is heavy, could you please move it a bit!"

Wei Xiaohao pleaded, his face a mask of misery.

’I wanted to act all high and mighty, but now look at me—I almost lost my life here.’

’These two are clearly just Loose Cultivators, so how can they be so strong? They’re on a completely different level from the ones I used to bully. This time, I really picked a fight with the wrong people.’

"Sure," Jiang Jichen said coldly. "First, tell those three clowns to get lost!"

In truth, he really wanted to kill the three who had ambushed him, but his physical condition was far from good. After all, killing a Supreme Minor Grandmaster of the Innate Ninth Realm under such circumstances had required him to unleash all of his power, save for his Seven-colored Spiritual Power.

"You three wastes, what are you waiting for? Scram!"

Even without Wei Xiaohao’s order, his three followers were already scared out of their wits and didn’t dare to make a move on Jiang Jichen.

’That Great Killing Artifact from before was too terrifying. It casually annihilated even a Supreme Minor Grandmaster of the Innate Ninth Realm. Wouldn’t we just be throwing our lives away if we went up there?’

Moreover, they couldn’t possibly know that Jiang Jichen could only activate the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array once a day. Thus, hearing Wei Xiaohao’s words was like receiving a general amnesty. As they were leaving, one of them shouted, "Young Master, rest assured! We will contact the Eldest Young Master to come rescue you!"

"And you two, listen up! The person you’re holding hostage is the Young Master of the Wei Family, one of the Seven Great Families! If you dare to harm the Young Master, not only will you die without a burial place, but your relatives, your friends, and everyone associated with you will also face certain death! So..."

However, before the man could finish, Jiang Jichen impatiently waved his hand, cutting him off. "Yee Youmeng, don’t listen to his nonsense. Kill him!"

"Ah! Hero, spare me! You three idiots, are you trying to get me killed?! Get the hell out of here, now! If you say one more word, I swear I’ll be the one who finishes you!"

Wei Xiaohao screamed and wailed, looking utterly pathetic and miserable.

In his heart, however, he was cursing them out. ’Damn you, you three morons! Can’t you read the situation? Don’t you see my life is in their hands? And you still dare to threaten them! These two are clearly savage beasts who don’t respond to threats!’

At that moment, Wei Xiaohao even felt the urge to kill those three idiots himself.

Hearing Wei Xiaohao’s words, the three men didn’t dare say another word or linger any longer. They immediately shot into the air and fled.

Jiang Jichen’s voice carried over a great distance to them, "If I find you following me in secret, then your Young Master Wei won’t need to live any longer!"

Upon hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, both the three departing men and Wei Xiaohao himself finally understood: this man was absolutely ruthless, utterly without scruples, and would dare to kill him without giving a second thought to his status as the Wei Family’s Young Master.

"My two big brothers, from now on, Little Hao is your follower! If you tell me to go west, I’ll never dare go east! If you tell me to go north, I’ll never go south! I’ll listen to whatever you two say!"

After clearly assessing the situation, Wei Xiaohao seemed to have become a completely different person.
