Myriad Daos of the Heaven

A group of people came rushing over at top speed, their auras fully unleashed as they charged this way.

Their auras were indeed immensely powerful. They were all at the Grandmaster Realm or higher, so it was no wonder they were so arrogant.

But their recklessness would undoubtedly endanger Jiang Jichen. If they startled the Yin Nether Serpent, he would be utterly annihilated.

"Huh? Someone actually beat us here. But it’s just some trashy Junior Cultivator at the Innate Sixth Layer!"

These people arrived incredibly fast, appearing with imposing auras. They stood on the opposite side, looking at Jiang Jichen as one of them spoke.

There were twelve of them in total, led by a young man in his twenties whose cultivation was only at the Grandmaster level.

But Jiang Jichen could tell with a single glance that the man was suppressing his cultivation. Otherwise, he would have stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm long ago. In fact, the aura emanating from him was even stronger than that of the Foundation Establishment Middle Realm Cultivators by his side.

"Young Master, this man looks a little familiar!"

One of the Grandmasters standing beside the young leader suddenly spoke up when he saw Jiang Jichen.

"Some piece of trash at the Innate Sixth Layer, and you find him familiar? Song Ning, have you lost your mind?"

A Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator said with a sneer.

At that moment, they saw that Jiang Jichen’s face was pale, with fine beads of sweat trickling down, and his body seemed to tremble slightly. He looked terrified.

"Look at him. This Junior Cultivator not only has a low cultivation, but he’s also pathetically cowardly. Let’s just kill this piece of trash. I can’t stand the sight of him."

another Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator chimed in.

Just then, Song Ning seemed to recall something. He pointed at Jiang Jichen and said, "I remember now! He’s the one who killed Song Zian! He’s Jiang Jichen from the Celestial Pearl Small Country!"

This group was indeed the contingent from the Song Family of Yun Country.

The young man in the lead was the Song Family’s Young Master, Song Hao. He frowned and said, "I’ve heard about this. A Song Family disciple killed by a commoner from some lowly small country... it is indeed a disgrace to our family. But weren’t you put in charge of this matter? Did you not personally visit that small country and eliminate everyone connected to him?"

Song Ning replied helplessly, "I did personally go to the Celestial Pearl Small Country at the time. However, I was driven out of Celestial Pearl Country by the Cyan Void Swordsman. He warned me never to set foot in Celestial Pearl again, or he would kill me on the spot!"

At the mention of the Cyan Void Swordsman, even Song Hao’s expression tensed slightly. He finally said, "Then let it be. He can protect them for a time, but not forever. The moment the Cyan Void Swordsman leaves Celestial Pearl Country, send men to eliminate everyone connected to Jiang Jichen!"

"Rest assured, Young Master. We already have people monitoring Cyan Moon City in Celestial Pearl. The moment the Cyan Void Swordsman leaves, we can move!"

"What I didn’t expect, however, is that Jiang Jichen himself would also come to the Beiyue Refining Illusion Realm. How could he possibly have made it this far with only an Innate Sixth Layer cultivation?"

Song Ning remarked, astonished.

"In that case, just kill him. Hurry up. We’ll grab the Yin Soul Flower and head to the next location."

By now, the group was no longer paying much attention to this Little Spirit Cultivator at the Innate Sixth Layer. Instead, their eyes were all fixed on the Yin Soul Flower in the Purifying Spirit Soil, their gazes filled with fervent desire.

"I’ll kill him!"

At that, a Grandmaster from the Song Family stepped forward before Song Ning could act.

This matter was originally Song Ning’s responsibility, and he should have been the one to act. But this direct descendant of the Song family unceremoniously took the task for himself, simply because he enjoyed killing.

But at that moment, Jiang Jichen’s mind wasn’t on the group from the Song Family at all.

His Divine Thought was almost entirely focused on what lay beneath the white bones.

He could sense a sinister, cold aura that seemed to be slowly awakening. It was obvious the Yin Nether Serpent was in the process of waking up.

They were, after all, standing on the coiled body of the Yin Nether Serpent. What’s more, he could sense that its eyes seemed to have opened ever so slightly.

That was why his face had gone pale. The sinister, cold presence was far beyond what his current cultivation could withstand, which was why his body had trembled earlier.

Jiang Jichen wanted to shout a warning, to tell them not to do anything rash. However, a Grandmaster-level disciple from the Song Family was already lunging at him like a bolt of lightning.

At this point, a fight was unavoidable. And once the battle began, it would inevitably startle the Yin Nether Serpent.

Jiang Jichen’s eyes turned cold. ’Might as well go all out,’ he thought. "If that’s how it’s going to be, then let’s make this interesting!"

"A little piece of trash like you? What makes you think you’re qualified to ’play’ with us? Die!"

the Song Family Grandmaster sneered, his attack utterly merciless.

His strike could reduce any Innate Sixth Layer Cultivator to a bloody pulp, and he relished the sight of flying gore.

At that moment, Jiang Jichen’s expression hardened. Instead of retreating, he advanced, surging forward at extreme speed. Using his body as a weapon, he slammed directly into his opponent.

A shocking scene unfolded. The Song Family Grandmaster’s attack was shattered by Jiang Jichen’s charge, and Jiang Jichen’s momentum didn’t slow in the slightest as he crashed into the man’s chest.

"How is this possible?"

The Song Family Grandmaster’s expression changed drastically; he had never imagined such a turn of events.

He even felt the pressure of life and death and instinctively tried to retreat.

BOOM!

But it was too late. With his body as a weapon, how could Jiang Jichen’s close-range attack be anything but devastatingly powerful?

The Song Family Grandmaster didn’t even have time to muster a defense before his body was blasted apart by the impact, his remains scattering in all directions.

Normally, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Jiang Jichen to kill a distinguished Grandmaster, but his opponent had fatally underestimated him, treating him like an ant and not even bothering to put up a defense.

After blasting through the Song Family Grandmaster, Jiang Jichen’s figure flickered. Before anyone could even react, he had already charged into the Purifying Spirit Land and was now only an arm’s length from the Yin Soul Flower.

Only then did the other Song Family disciples react. Their expressions changed in alarm as one shouted, "Stop him! Don’t let him take the Yin Soul Flower!"

Young Master Song Hao of the Song Family roared.

However, Jiang Jichen simply reached out and plucked the Yin Soul Flower.

At the same instant, the combined attacks of the Song Family members arrived, and the Power of Destruction engulfed the patch of Purifying Spirit Land where Jiang Jichen stood.

BOOM!

All of the attacks landed on the Purifying Spirit Land.

ROAR! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

But what followed wasn’t the sight of Jiang Jichen’s demise. Instead, the ground trembled, the white bones shattered, and a colossal serpent’s head emerged from the depths of the Purifying Spirit Land.

It was the Yin Nether Serpent, and it was utterly enraged.

A moment ago, as Jiang Jichen plucked the Yin Soul Flower, the serpent could have devoured his soul in a single breath. But the group’s attacks landed at that exact instant, striking it right on the head and hindering it.

Jiang Jichen, however, seized that opportunity to activate his Void Shadowless Technique, reappearing gracefully a hundred meters away.

Facing the Yin Nether Serpent’s aura, which felt as if it came from Netherworld Hell itself, the faces of all the Song Family disciples changed drastically. They were sent flying as the unbelievably massive serpent’s body beneath their feet rose up before their very eyes.
