Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Chapter 403: Chapter 401: Foundation Establishment Battles Nascent Soul Fusion

Within the main trunk of the Phoenix Tree lay the Phoenix Bathing Fire Land.

This place was a self-contained dimension. Phoenix Flames erupted from all directions; some shot up from the giant rocks underfoot, while others materialized out of thin air.

They were impossible to guard against and utterly terrifying!

Furthermore, the Phoenix Flames were astonishingly powerful. The slightest touch would result in severe burns and critical injuries.

It wasn’t just the Phoenix Flames. Even in the ordinary parts of the Phoenix Bathing Fire Land, the temperature was alarmingly high, making it impossible to linger for long.

Currently, they were in a space within the middle section of the Phoenix Tree’s main trunk.

This area was a peculiar space, filled with floating black stones. It looked just like a Meteorite Space.

The difference, however, was that this was a place where Phoenix Flames could erupt from anywhere, making it perilous to the extreme.

Moreover, the farther down one descended, the higher the temperature rose and the more frequently the Phoenix Flames appeared.

All the way down at the roots of the Phoenix Tree would be the area with the absolute highest and most terrifying temperatures.

Perhaps true Phoenix Flames, capable of incinerating all of existence, could be found there.

For now, they were in the middle-to-lower section of the space within the Phoenix Tree.

If they continued downward, they would reach the very bottom space of the Phoenix Tree.

It was said that was the true Phoenix Bathing Fire Land.

The two elders saw Jiang Jichen, Holy Sword in hand, turn and charge at them.

His aura was far more powerful than before, and his entire body radiated a dense Demon Evil Qi.

While the two elders were still in shock, Jiang Jichen’s Holy Sword had already unleashed hundreds of Sword Lights.

Star Destruction!

The Sword Lights rained down like an endless meteor shower, engulfing the two elders.

Moreover, Jiang Jichen was incredibly aggressive. He blocked the entrance, giving the two Nascent Soul Early Stage Realm elders no chance to retreat.

’He actually wants to kill us in return!’

Seeing this, the two elders realized his intent, and their expressions instantly turned grim.

Up until this point, they had been the ones hunting Jiang Jichen from a position of overwhelming strength.

They had felt a sense of superiority, certain they could crush him at will. But now, the tables had completely turned.

Jiang Jichen was trying to trap and kill them here!

The psychological shock of this reversal was too great for them to accept.

’A mere Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator actually thought he could kill us?’

More than anything, the two elders felt humiliated and furious!

"A mere ant actually thinks it can overturn the heavens! Detestable! He deserves to die!"

With a wave of their hands, the two elders swatted away the destructive Sword Light that Jiang Jichen had unleashed with his Holy Sword.

But they were forced back, driven farther from the entrance.

"He took a Tenfold Spirit Pill! No wonder!"

The black-robed elder realized this and cried out in shock and fury.

And just as the elder had said, the moment Jiang Jichen charged through the entrance, he had swallowed a Tenfold Spirit Pill.

When he set out this time, he had brought the only two remaining Original Tenfold Violent Spirit Pills from Elder Yao.

He had already used one in the Guiding Light Area.

Now, he had just used the last one.

At the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, a tenfold increase in power was terrifyingly potent.

Of course, for a pill like the Tenfold Spirit Pill, the lower the user’s Realm, the greater the effect. At higher Realms, it would become almost entirely useless.

For example, if a Spirit Infant Realm cultivator were to take this pill, it might only double their power.

Once in the Nascent Soul Realm, a ten or twenty percent boost would be the absolute limit.

And at the Saint Realm, it would be completely useless.

But as long as the user was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, it would still grant a tenfold power increase.

It was a terrifying boost, granting Jiang Jichen the power of the Half-step Spirit Infant Realm.

However, the Tenfold Spirit Pill also had a demonic nature.

At this moment, Jiang Jichen stood blocking the entrance, his baleful aura soaring to the heavens, making him look like a Demon God.

His eyes were ice-cold and merciless, filled with an endless intent to kill.

In one hand, he held the Holy Sword; in the other, he wielded Sinking Mountain.

He spoke, "You two old bastards, today the Phoenix Bathing Fire Land will become your grave!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jichen attacked with extreme ferocity, striking at the two elders with his sword and saber in alternating attacks.

The Holy Sword unleashed a dazzling, incomparably sharp Sword Aura;

Sinking Mountain was simple and unadorned, but when its dark Sword Shadow flashed, it was as if an ancient mountain was moving through the sky, carrying the power to shatter the heavens.

He had never used both weapons simultaneously before because he simply lacked the power to do so.

But now, after taking a Tenfold Spirit Pill at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, he had more than enough power.

Yin Yang Two Principles, Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams!

Suppression of the Eight Desolates, Sweeping the Six Harmonies!

His Sword and Saber Technique, unleashed simultaneously, produced a power that actually made the two elders feel threatened.

They waved the Bone Staff and Cyan Wood Banner in their hands, clashing with Jiang Jichen.

SPIT!

Fifty breaths later, Jiang Jichen spat blood as he was thrown backward.

The two elders’ faces were pale, and their bodies were also wounded and stained with blood.

This was unimaginable.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator fighting against Nascent Soul cultivators... Not only had he held on for so long, but he had even managed to wound them!

The two elders couldn’t believe it; they found it impossible to accept.

Even if word of this got out, no one in the world would ever believe it.

But the facts were plain to see: Jiang Jichen, at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, was battling two Nascent Soul Early Stage Realm cultivators with the Holy Sword in one hand and Sinking Mountain in the other.

Of course, he was also continuously sustaining injuries and bleeding.

But he paid it no mind, a demonic light glinting in his eyes.

"Again!"

With a furious roar, he attacked again with his Holy Sword and Sinking Mountain.

They faced a Jiang Jichen who seemed tireless and fearless, who would continue to fight as long as a single breath remained in his body.

The two elders finally began to panic, a look of fear appearing in their eyes.

Admittedly, Jiang Jichen’s attacks couldn’t truly kill them.

But for the moment, they couldn’t kill him either.

However, they were in the Phoenix Bathing Fire Land!

Failing to kill Jiang Jichen within a hundred breaths was one thing, but if they couldn’t break out of this place after that time, they would be in grave danger.

As for Jiang Jichen, they could already see that he was completely unaffected by the high temperatures and could easily withstand them.

In fact, his demonic nature seemed to be amplified here, making his combat prowess even stronger.

This was what truly chilled them to the bone.

Jiang Jichen had just declared that he would kill them in return. Now, it seemed that was no empty boast.

Instead, he genuinely intended to... kill them!

"Forget everything else! We have to fight our way out of here first. This place is disadvantageous for us!"

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the two elders were also incredibly decisive.

Their goal shifted from killing Jiang Jichen to getting past him and escaping the cavern.

"Too late! If you want to leave, it’ll be over my dead body!"

However, as if influenced by the demonic nature of this place, Jiang Jichen let out a crazed, demonic laugh.

"Haha... Kill!"

Sword Aura and Sword Shadow surged forward like a tide, sealing off every inch of space and pinning the two elders down.

BOOM! BOOM!

Chunks of blackened, charred rock exploded as Jiang Jichen carved a path forward. He didn’t retreat a single step; instead, he advanced, his ferocity almost unbelievable.

Soon, more than eighty breaths had passed!

The elders’ defenses were crumbling, on the verge of complete collapse.

During the fight, they had been struck by the Phoenix Flames several times. It was already impossible for their defenses to last for a full hundred breaths.

As for Jiang Jichen, his body was a tattered mess; there wasn’t an uninjured spot on him.

Yet, wisps of black smoke were seeping out from his grievous wounds.

"Demon Evil Qi!"

Seeing this, the expressions of the two Nascent Soul Early Stage Realm elders changed drastically.

Without any further hesitation, they began to fight for their lives, unleashing their ultimate killing moves to repel Jiang Jichen and escape.

But Jiang Jichen suddenly looked up. His pupils had turned a dark, spectral color, and within them, two clusters of black flame burned and danced.

They looked like two clusters of undying Demon Flame, dreadful and terrifying.
