Chapter 366: Chapter 364: One Battle Shocks the World
Severed limbs and torsos flew everywhere, landing on the barren field only to become more piles of withered bones on the path of cultivation.
The path of cultivation is a merciless one; only through slaughter can one advance!
At this moment, Jiang Jichen was incredibly strong, wielding the Red Copper Sword as he carried out a merciless slaughter.
The Tenfold Spirit Pill had instantly granted him combat power equivalent to the Late-Stage Spirit Infant Realm.
Of the men before him, anyone below the Late-Stage Spirit Infant Realm fell in a single exchange.
Wherever the flash of his Sword Light passed, blood would spray.
He mercilessly reaped one vibrant life after another!
In the end, dozens of bodies littered the field. They were the disciples of Noble Families and Sects, their Cultivation ranging from the Spirit Infant Early Stage to the Late-Stage Spirit Infant Realm.
Fewer than ten Cultivators remained, all at the Spirit Infant Perfection Realm, and they now surrounded Jiang Jichen.
These men were powerful!
But as they faced the frenzied Jiang Jichen, their eyes filled with dread.
"He’s on his last legs! That pill has side effects—he’s getting weaker! Let’s attack together and finish him!" one of the Spirit Infant Perfection Realm Cultivators roared.
And Jiang Jichen was indeed getting weaker; the aura around him was diminishing.
The Tenfold Spirit Pill could indeed increase his power tenfold initially.
But as time went on and he continued to fight, that power began to wane.
It was impossible to maintain the full tenfold power burst for the entire one hundred and twenty breaths.
After seventy breaths spent slaughtering dozens of Spirit Infant Early Stage Cultivators, Jiang Jichen’s power was now fading.
His initial power eruption had been too ferocious; now, only a fivefold boost remained!
The recent slaughter had sent a chill down the spines of the disciples from the Noble Families and Sects.
Only now did they realize the rumors weren’t exaggerated. Jiang Jichen truly was as terrifying as a Demon.
In the shadows, of course, top-tier experts were watching.
They were figures from Noble Families and Sects at the Nascent Soul Realm and above, but they could not act unless they were willing to take the risk of suppressing their Cultivation to the Spirit Infant Realm.
Few experts at the Nascent Soul Realm were willing to take such a risk.
Even with their Cultivation suppressed, the combat power they could unleash would be no less than that of top geniuses like the White-clothed Swordsman, the Bald Man, or the gold-robed man—perhaps even greater!
But achieving the Nascent Soul Realm was an arduous feat. If they suppressed their Cultivation to enter the Heavenly Refining Ancient Road or the Academy’s back mountain, they risked permanent death. It was a gamble they dared not take lightly.
Just then, the group of Spirit Infant Perfection Realm Cultivators charged at Jiang Jichen again.
Even the spectators grew restless, eager to make their move.
They could see Jiang Jichen was nearly spent and wanted to kill him to claim the spoils.
Rumor had it that in addition to the Ancient Wandering Dragon Holy Sword, Jiang Jichen possessed many other Exotic Treasures that made one’s heart pound with envy.
"Jiang Jichen is really about to collapse! He probably doesn’t even have the strength to use the Holy Sword anymore! Let’s go together and blast him to bits!"
The group of onlookers finally made their move.
All of them were above the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, and most were even Genius Level experts in the Spirit Infant Realm.
They condensed their most powerful attacks and unleashed them on Jiang Jichen all at once.
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Jichen’s eyes. He was facing a hundred enemies, all charging in for the kill.
These people weren’t driven by vengeance, of course, but by pure greed for the treasures he carried.
A cruel smile tugged at the corner of his mouth!
He unleashed the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array!
He brought forth a Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment!
Two Ultimate Killing Artifacts. Jiang Jichen had bided his time, waiting for this very moment.
"Kill!"
In that instant, a heavenly killing intent permeated the space.
The One Corner of the Sky Killing Array erupted with unimaginable destructive power, trapping all the attacking Cultivators within it.
And that wasn’t all. Poisonous light shot in every direction, turning the area into a lethal domain of venom.
The Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment was activated to its full potential, emitting an endless, poisonous radiance in an indiscriminate, all-out attack.
In the next moment, countless agonizing screams erupted.
"AHH, this poison! I can’t suppress it! It’s dissolving my body!"
"No! This killing intent—it’s trying to shred my heart!"
"Gods, what is this forbidden artifact?! Help me!"
"Jiang Jichen, you Demon!"
...
Over a hundred powerful Cultivators were engulfed by the boundless killing intent and the pervasive poisonous light, completely unable to fight back.
It was the first time any of them had fought Jiang Jichen; they knew nothing of his methods.
Now, they had paid a terrible price—a price paid with their lives.
The hundreds of thousands of Cultivators from all over the Southern Continent who witnessed this astonishing and terrifying scene were all shocked into silence.
Before, they had only ever heard rumors about Jiang Jichen.
Moreover, those appearances had been within the Refining Illusion Realm; he had never revealed himself to the world.
The name Jiang Jichen had always been just a concept in their minds.
Not until this very moment did they witness his true, deadly fighting style.
Terrifying and tyrannical. He faced over a hundred opponents, yet slaughtered them with ease, a merciless butcher.
A battle that shocked the heavens!
After this battle, if Jiang Jichen survived, who in the Southern Continent would not know his name?
Who could possibly forget him?
At this moment, everyone felt as if they were witnessing the rise of another peerless, unrivaled figure!
Meanwhile, in the Reception Area, aside from the groups led by Chang Xian’Er, Su Xuefei, and Shui Yunyao, stood many other teams from various factions.
Among them was one team, including three old men, whose eyes were fixed on the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment in Jiang Jichen’s hand, a fanatical glint flashing in their gazes.
They looked as if they could barely restrain themselves from snatching it away.
But they held back and did not act immediately.
Here, Jiang Jichen could still use the Sword Saint. But upon entering the Heavenly Refining Ancient Road and the Academy’s back mountain, although Saint Level powers could be used, their might would be greatly suppressed.
That would be the best time to strike.
In the center of the battlefield, Jiang Jichen put away the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array and the Poison-Devouring Liquid Pearl Fragment, shouldered his Sinking Mountain, and stared at the crowd.
He was now covered in wounds, his clothes stained with blood. He looked miserable.
But his aura was incredibly tyrannical, bearing down on the surrounding crowd so intensely that many struggled to breathe.
At his feet lay more than a hundred mangled corpses, a scene that carried an unimaginable power to intimidate.
’Jiang Jichen... he’s grown so much. Now, only a top-tier genius could possibly take him down!’
Many people had to admit this fact, and for a moment, no one else dared to make a move.
"Chang Xian’Er, I know you still have tricks up your sleeve. Bring them on. I am not afraid. Keep your Red Pill for me. When the day comes that I can overturn the heavens and earth, I will come to claim it. Hmph, if you dare give it to another man, I will slaughter your entire clan!"
Perhaps influenced by the Tenfold Spirit Pill, Jiang Jichen’s words carried a frenzied, demonic nature—cold, heartless, cruel. It was as if he was on the verge of Demon Possession!
His words caused an uproar among the shocked onlookers.
But Chang Xian’Er’s expression was indifferent, and her voice was incomparably pleasant as she said, "If you truly become strong enough to overturn the heavens, what’s the harm in giving my Red Pill to you? But I’m afraid you won’t live to see that day!"
The instant Chang Xian’Er’s voice fell, the entire world suddenly trembled, and a terrifying aura descended, blanketing the sky.
Everyone present felt their bodies tremble!
This was... the aura of the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm!
"Jiang Jichen! You dared to nearly kill my son and attack my Mind Avatar! I told you, once I came out of seclusion, no one would be able to protect you!"
The voice was vast and mighty, echoing endlessly between heaven and earth.
Then, a beautiful woman appeared, descending just outside the Reception Area, her presence radiating a monstrous pressure.
It was Nangong Wan’Er... she had arrived!
