Chapter 382: Chapter 380: Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm
The entire crowd was shocked and speechless, staring at the scene in disbelief.
The young man from the Human Race, the one they had ignored and dismissed as a mere mortal ant!
Now, he had snatched the Inner Core with a casual wave of his hand.
And he had declared that all of them—the Royal Lineage beings of the Six Paths Realm and the geniuses of the Heavenly Dao Realm—were trash.
This was... a searing, face-slapping humiliation!
Just moments ago, the arrogant Royal Lineage beings from the Six Paths—the Darkness, Beastman, and Undead—had treated Jiang Jichen and the others as spoils of war to be divvied up as they pleased. Then, the genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm appeared, dismissed the Royal Lineage beings as wastes, and casually swatted them aside to seize the Inner Core.
But now, all of that had been reduced to a joke!
All because of the young man from the Human Race who had remained silent from the very beginning.
It was as if only in this moment did they remember that this High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature had been killed by this very human youth.
A crowd had long since gathered a safe distance away, surrounding the Black Jade Ancient Road.
They were all beings from the Six Paths Realm.
Human Race Cultivators were the most numerous, but there were also Beastmen, members of the Dark Race, Undead, and Asuras!
The Human Race Cultivators, of course, all recognized Jiang Jichen!
"I can’t believe Jiang Jichen is so fierce! To think he’d dare to face a genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm head-on... This... is just too shocking!"
"He took them by surprise and got the Inner Core back, but he’s still just a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator. In a life-or-death battle, I’m afraid he won’t stand a chance."
"Yeah, we Human Race Cultivators have always been bullied by them. They see us as ants they can hunt down at will. I really hope Jiang Jichen can win this one for us and bring some honor to the Human Race!"
"Hmph, with Jiang Jichen’s Cultivation Realm? He just fought a High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature, so he’s exhausted and injured. He’s bound to lose. He’ll only bring shame to the Human Race."
...
Various opinions arose from among the Human Race Cultivators.
Aside from their shock, those who bore him no grudge hoped Jiang Jichen would win and bring honor to the Human Race.
However, most of the disciples from the Noble Families and Sects were disdainful, certain that Jiang Jichen’s inevitable defeat would disgrace the Human Race.
As for the Beastmen, the Dark Race, the Undead, and the Asuras, they were simply stunned that such a formidable figure could emerge from the Human Race.
Back in the center of the conflict, the genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm finally snapped out of his stupor. His expression instantly turned ugly and even more glacial.
He had been careless. He hadn’t noticed that this human youth possessed such astonishing speed.
In a moment of inattention, the boy had snatched the Inner Core right in front of so many people. He had lost face completely!
Thus, the Heavenly Dao Realm genius fixed his gaze on Jiang Jichen, his voice chillingly cold. "Originally, I saw you as nothing more than a mortal ant and couldn’t be bothered with whether you lived or died. I was just going to take the Inner Core and leave. But since you insist on seeking death, I will grant your wish!"
Jiang Jichen let out a cold laugh. "I was the one who severely wounded this High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature and was about to kill it. The moment you showed up, you tried to steal it and treat us like spoils of war to be divvied up? Heh, I’d like to say something too. In my eyes, you trash are nothing but future corpses!"
"And I’ll start by killing you!"
However, Jiang Jichen was even more aggressive, more domineering, and more arrogant than the genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm.
As he spoke, he had already taken the initiative to attack.
"Ignorant and arrogant! You’re only in the Foundation Establishment Middle Realm. I can crush you with a single finger!"
The Heavenly Dao Realm genius finally erupted in fury. He raised a hand and pointed, Spiritual Light flaring. The shadow of a giant finger, as massive as a small mountain, pressed down on Jiang Jichen.
Mountain-Suppressing Finger!
It was a powerful and terrifying Magic Technique from the Heavenly Dao Realm.
A single point of the finger unleashed the power to suppress mountains, capable of sealing and crushing all things.
Jiang Jichen’s expression turned grim. ’This genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm is indeed powerful,’ he thought. ’Even if I can win at my current Realm, it probably won’t be easy.’
’Besides, the current situation isn’t suitable for a prolonged battle.’
’In that case, I’ll just have to fight him at the same Realm!’
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Jichen’s eyes, and in that instant, the aura emanating from his body became frenzied and powerful.
BOOM!
Spiritual Patterns danced wildly as Anomalies manifested one after another. The aura around Jiang Jichen was climbing higher and higher.
Within Jiang Jichen’s body, his Dao Platform was building higher. It had previously been two layers, but now, under the effect of an endless supply of Mysterious Material, a third layer began to condense.
’Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm, complete!’
The breakthrough was as natural as water carving a channel.
He could have broken through long ago, especially after refining more than two Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast Inner Cores these past few days. His Realm had now reached a point where it could no longer be suppressed.
Breaking through now was simply going with the flow.
Seeing this, the crowd cried out in utter shock, "Heavens, Jiang Jichen is breaking through in the middle of a battle! That lunatic!"
The moment his Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm solidified, Jiang Jichen also raised his finger and pointed it at the colossal finger pressing down on him.
BOOM!
A beam of Finger Light shot up, piercing the heavens. The mountain-like giant finger shattered with a deafening roar, turning into countless specks of light that scattered like rain.
"So strong!"
They saw that a single, casual point from Jiang Jichen’s finger possessed such heaven-shaking might.
Just moments ago, the genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm had claimed he could crush Jiang Jichen with one finger. Now, in the eyes of the crowd, that statement seemed utterly laughable.
However, the crowd’s shock was not yet over.
Jiang Jichen’s aura erupted once more, climbing again as he charged... toward the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"He’s going to keep breaking through? Charging toward the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm... This... Is he trying to defy the heavens?"
The crowd gasped, shaken and finding it hard to believe.
This young man from the Human Race was already so powerful after just breaking through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm. If he reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, just how strong would he become?
Inside Jiang Jichen, atop the third layer of his Dao Platform, the phantom of a fourth layer appeared. Endless Mysterious Power surged into it, causing it to solidify from illusion into reality.
For now, Jiang Jichen was only breaking through to the Late-Stage and Perfection Realms of Foundation Establishment while his Seven-Colored Spiritual Vein was sealed.
If he were to unseal it, he would still need to undergo a process of Spiritual Power conversion!
That is, the third and fourth layers of his Dao Platform would need to transform into the Seven-Color hue.
The amount of Spiritual Power that would need to be absorbed and consumed then would be unimaginable.
"You want to break through again? In your dreams! Die!"
At this moment, the genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm grew desperate.
Just now, his opponent had only been in the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he could extinguish his attack with a single finger. If he was allowed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao Realm genius was desperate and afraid. He absolutely could not let this human youth succeed.
The Heavenly Dao Realm genius’s hands blurred, forming a peerless technique.
This time, he condensed seven types of attacks, a move called the Seven Kills Celestial Techniques!
A Fist Seal, a Palm Shadow, a Spirit Pattern Array, a beam of Finger Light, a wisp of Sword Intent, a flash of Blade Aura, and the Light of Magic!
They assailed him from all directions, instantly submerging Jiang Jichen.
"That human youth is finished! He failed to break through and is about to perish!"
"The Human Race produced an extraordinary figure, but it’s a pity he won’t be able to mature. It’s all for nothing."
"I told you! Jiang Jichen was bound to lose and bring shame to the entire Human Race!"
...
Seeing this, the beings from the Six Paths voiced their varied opinions.
But before the words could fade, they saw a brilliant light shoot toward the sky.
BOOM!
The Fist Seal, Palm Shadow, Spirit Pattern Array, Finger Light, Sword Intent, Blade Aura, and Light of Magic were all swept away, shattering in an instant and vanishing like smoke.
Jiang Jichen stood there calmly. Once again, he raised his finger and pointed.
PSH!
Before the genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm could even react, his body exploded.
