Myriad Daos of the Heaven

In the eyes of these Noble Family Descendants, Jiang Jichen was currently severely injured and appeared incredibly weak. Coupled with his Cultivation being only at the Innate Tenth Realm, he no longer posed any threat to them.

Moreover, they saw Jiang Jichen actually consuming the Dao Spirit Flower. It was obvious he was using this life-or-death moment to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and attempting to condense a Heaven-level Dao Platform.

There was no way they would let Jiang Jichen succeed. If he truly consumed the Dao Spirit Flower, successfully condensed a Heaven-level Dao Platform, and stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm, their own deaths would be certain.

Therefore, these Noble Family Descendants charged forward to kill him without a shred of hesitation.

Their first goal was to snatch the Dao Spirit Flower and prevent Jiang Jichen from consuming it; their second was to deny him even the slightest chance of successfully reaching Foundation Establishment.

"This kid’s luck is heaven-defying, but it ends here! Everything he has will become ours! Haha... How satisfying!"

Among the charging Noble Family Descendants, some were already howling with excitement and exhilaration.

"Don’t smash his head to bits! We can take it back to claim the supreme bounty!"

"Yeah, let’s just crush his body. But I heard Jiang Jichen has consumed many supreme Spirit Medicines, even Immortal Grass. Wouldn’t it be great to refine his body into a Blood Pill?"

The Noble Family Descendants clamored as they unleashed their ultimate killing attacks, surging with Spiritual Power. Palm Shadows, Fist Seals, and Spirit Pattern Blades—all of it hurtled toward Jiang Jichen.

They were simply too excited, too agitated, and seeing Jiang Jichen so grievously wounded, they all got very close.

Furthermore, in their desperation to get the supreme treasures beside Jiang Jichen, like the Ancient Medicine Cauldron and the Ancient Refining Pill, they had thrown all caution to the wind and charged forward.

They were only... five meters away from Jiang Jichen!

Positioned at the center of their attack, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Jichen’s eyes.

Just as the attacks were about to land, he suddenly dodged to the side, an astonishingly terrifying aura erupting from his body.

BOOM!

The combined attack of the six Noble Family Descendants missed, blasting a massive, deep crater into the giant rock where Jiang Jichen had been sitting, sending stone fragments flying everywhere.

Jiang Jichen casually swept up the Ancient Medicine Cauldron, the Ancient Refining Pill, and his other belongings. At the same time, he unfurled the Blood Cloth in his hand, which transformed into a vast, blood-red curtain that sealed off the area, cutting off the six Noble Family Descendants’ path of retreat.

"This is bad!"

At this moment, seeing Jiang Jichen so full of life, how could they not realize they had been tricked?

Their expressions changed drastically as they tried to retreat.

They all knew Jiang Jichen was a powerful Body Refiner. And now, at such close range, they were... in deep trouble!

However, the Blood Cloth had sealed the space within a fifty-meter radius, leaving them no way to escape for the time being.

’We’re done for!’

The thought simultaneously appeared in the minds of the six Noble Family Descendants.

SPLAT!

The thought had barely formed when the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator closest to Jiang Jichen had his head blown apart by a single punch. It burst like a rotten watermelon, splattering blood in all directions.

But Jiang Jichen showed no signs of stopping after destroying the man’s head. He followed up with a palm strike, pulverizing the headless corpse into a bloody mist, which was then absorbed by the surrounding Blood Cloth.

This cruel and ruthless scene terrified the remaining five Noble Family Descendants, and their bodies began to tremble.

At this moment, they finally felt... regret!

At this moment, they finally remembered... Jiang Jichen was the murderous demon who had slaughtered three hundred people before the Exquisite Treasure Tower.

"Everyone, don’t panic! We... we’ll fight him to the death! He’s... only at the Innate Tenth Realm! We’ll self... detonate and take him with us!" one of the Noble Family Descendants said, his voice trembling.

"Right... self-detonate!"

Someone else agreed.

They knew they were going to die anyway, so they might as well drag Jiang Jichen down with them.

Hearing that they were going to self-detonate, Jiang Jichen’s expression changed drastically as well.

However, even self-detonation required a moment to prepare; it wasn’t something one could do instantly.

So, Jiang Jichen erupted with power. He knew that if he couldn’t kill them all before they self-detonated, he might end up buried with them.

The self-detonation of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Middle and Late Stage Realm—Jiang Jichen had no time to imagine how terrifying that would be!

The full power of his Body Refining Innate Tenth Layer erupted completely. Combined with the ultimate speed of his Shadow Step, Jiang Jichen’s fists flew like the wind.

Seven Stars Gathering, a torrent of starlight!

Myriad Phenomena Rushing, shaking mountains and rivers!

Countless Celestial Shadows, fists to shatter the sky!

At the Body Refining Innate Tenth Layer, Jiang Jichen could just barely use the Ancient Group Attack Fist Technique.

Boundless starlight seemed to swirl around Jiang Jichen’s fist. With a single punch, the Star River trembled with infinite power, and one of the Noble Family Descendants was blasted into a bloody mist.

Next, within the fifty-meter world, it was as if the shadows of countless ancient dragon-elephants stampeded through, shattering the very space. The Anomaly was terrifying beyond compare. Two Noble Family Descendants had massive fist-sized holes punched through their chests, deader than dead.

Finally, where there is celestial light, there are shadows. From within these Celestial Shadows, dark fist imprints appeared, silently shattering the Qi Seas of the remaining two Noble Family Descendants.

Their Qi Seas had just finished gathering power, on the very verge of self-detonation.

Jiang Jichen feared that if he had been even a fraction of a second slower, the consequences would have been unimaginable. He would have likely been buried alongside them.

"Whew... I was careless!"

Jiang Jichen spat out a mouthful of blood. His legs trembled, and he nearly lost his balance, looking as if he were about to collapse.

Lingering fear gripped his heart.

Though it takes long to describe, everything that had just happened took place in the span of a single breath.

Jiang Jichen had instantly unleashed all of his Physical Strength to erupt with such terrifying close-quarters combat power in the shortest time possible.

But the strain on his body was also unimaginably great, nearly causing it to collapse.

He hadn’t expected these Noble Family Descendants to actually resort to self-detonation. If he had been the least bit careless just now, he might have ended up getting himself killed in his own trap.

Feeling weak all over, Jiang Jichen put away the Blood Cloth and plopped unceremoniously onto the ground. He looked toward the Noble Family Descendant at the entrance of the small valley, who had yet to make a move.

The Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Noble Family Descendant at the valley entrance was dumbstruck, unable to believe that what he was seeing was real.

The six Noble Family Descendants who had entered with him were all dead in an instant. Jiang Jichen... ’He’s an absolute demon!’

At that moment, the last remaining Noble Family Descendant was truly afraid, even though Jiang Jichen looked completely powerless as he sat there.

He didn’t have a shred of courage to remain. All he wanted was to flee this place and get as far away from the Jiang Demon as possible.

This was what he truly thought, and he acted on it without hesitation.

However, he had just turned around when he saw Guo Qishan blocking his path. Guo Qishan was looking at him with a wide grin. "Where do you think you’re going? Jiang Jichen is in there. Weren’t you supposed to go in and kill him?"

"You..."

At that instant, how could the Noble Family Descendant not understand what was going on?

But before he could finish his sentence, one of Little Haas’s hands had silently plucked out his heart and shattered his Qi Sea. The consciousness of death instantly enveloped him.
