Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Chi Yin Palace Attacks
Ji Linghan never imagined that this "Blessing" could bring her such a tremendous improvement.
The ethereal and intangible rule enlightenment can be bestowed; what an incredible thing this is?
In her mind, Sect Leader Jiang had already become an undisputed deity.
After she left, considering none of her disciples practiced the Reincarnation rules, Brother Cheng next summoned Miao Yu.
Similarly, he was straightforward, explaining the effects of the Reincarnation’s Profound Pattern.
Jiang Cheng initially thought Miao Yu might also choose as Ji Yao did, due to her self-respect.
If so, he would have to pick someone in the Realm of Reincarnation in the future.
Unexpectedly, after a brief ten-second contemplation, Fairy Miao also asked an inexplicable question.
"Has Cang Ling already bound your Speed’s Profound Pattern?"
"That’s right."
"Alright, then I’ll bind it too!"
There was no hesitation in Miao Yu’s eyes, only determination.
Brother Cheng thought, what exactly made you do this?
Can you explain it to me?
Why can’t I comprehend it?
However, since Miao Yu agreed, he was naturally delighted to see it happen.
Moments later, they completed an indescribable binding transaction.
Jiang Cheng’s Reincarnation’s Profound Pattern was comparable to the Eleventh Layer of the Venerable level.
Yet Miao Yu was only at the Emperor Realm Second Layer, with combat power of the Emperor Realm Third Layer.
It’s imaginable how intense the impact of this Profound Pattern was on her.
The vast amount of rule enlightenment almost knocked out this Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.
Her realm had already started to break through directly.
From Late-stage Emperor Realm Second Layer to Early-stage, Mid-stage, and finally Late-stage Emperor Realm Third Layer, it only stopped because her Immortal Power wasn’t sufficient.
Given enough pills, she could even break through to the Emperor Realm Fourth Layer on the spot.
"Oh my god!"
Fairy Miao was amazed.
"This improvement is way too significant!"
Her beautiful eyes were filled with nothing but shock.
"Such a thing that transcends norms exists in the world, it’s too unbelievable!"
A phenomenon where one directly acquires vast rule knowledge without self-cultivation enlightenment, she had never heard of.
"I even feel like there’re no bottlenecks ahead, I could keep breaking through..."
Brother Cheng shrugged: "My Reincarnation’s Profound Pattern is comparable to the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer. Before you reach that realm, you don’t need to worry about any bottlenecks."
Though exaggerated, it wasn’t far from the truth.
Typically, realm breakthroughs face bottlenecks of Divine Soul, Immortal Power, and Rules. She currently has no rules bottleneck, essentially solving the hardest part in advance.
"Emperor Realm Ninth Layer..."
Miao Yu almost suffocated.
That feeling was like a True Immortal suddenly acquiring an Immortal Emperor level of rule knowledge.
Leaving her at a loss of words to describe the absurdity and ecstatic combination of feelings at this moment.
She stared steadily at Jiang Cheng, her gaze incredibly complex.
After a long time, she sighed: "I finally understand why Heavenly Dao targets you."
"Things breaking norms like this are definitely forbidden by Heavenly Dao!"
Brother Cheng smiled slightly: "But now you’ve boarded my train, there’s no turning back."
Fairy Miao let out a light sigh.
"Indeed, from now on, I can only follow you down this dark path."
Her comprehension of this matter was evidently deeper than Ji Linghan and those three Ancient Creatures.
Soon after she left, not far away, Ice Phoenix Ji Yao was equally astounded.
Although she rejected the binding of the Profound Pattern proposal, she was intrigued by the effect of this Profound Pattern.
Thus, she had been observing secretly all along.
Brother Cheng didn’t seal the space, so their conversation was audible to her outside.
Now, she suddenly began regretting.
Ji Linghan and Miao Yu’s realm upgrades were understandable, but the rule enlightenment reaching Emperor Realm Ninth Layer was shocking?
This utterly shattered her original pride.
Unfortunately, it’s too late for regrets now, as Ice’s Profound Pattern was already claimed by Ji Linghan.
After two peaceful days, the long-prepared Chi Yin Palace finally attacked.
Facing the mere fifty-something opponents, the Six Realms experts initially weren’t too worried.
Until Han Wen and Duan Yue, these two Emperor Realm Eighth Layers, found themselves unable to discern Venerable Qi Yan’s realm.
"Emperor Realm Ninth Layer?"
Their hearts sank, and they cried out.
"There’s also twelve Emperor Realm Eighth Layers!"
"Forty-four Emperor Realm Seventh Layers!"
"Good heavens..."
This lineup exceeded their expectations.
Originally, they thought after slaying an Emperor Realm Seventh Layer and several Emperor Realm Sixth Layers on the opposite side, the opponent would at most send one or two Emperor Realm Eighth Layers with a group of Emperor Realm Sixth and Seventh Layers next time.
Unexpectedly, Chi Yin Palace directly dispatched the pinnacle combat power.
Apart from those participating in the Heavenly Dao contest as Celestial Venerable and other Venerable Guardians, and several Emperor Realm Eighth Layers in seclusion, all who could be mobilized came forth.
A commotion filled the scene.
The faces of Six Realms experts changed drastically, panic overtook their minds.
"Awesome, an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer Venerable?"
"Plus 12 Emperor Realm Eighth Layers?"
"Is this real, are they planning to annihilate our Immortal Realm entirely?"
"It should be real, the two Ice Realm predecessors won’t be mistaken."
"Insane, insane, how to handle this now?"
"Why would they deploy such a strong lineup..."
"Completely irresistible!"
Originally, everyone thought of leveraging teamwork, like using arrays and restrictions to impede Jiang Zhang’s effort.
Now seeing this, those ideas were promptly abandoned.
Immortal Realm’s arrays and restrictions were already jokes in front of Emperor Realm Eighth and Ninth Layers.
Numbers no longer mattered.
The atmosphere of despair rapidly spread, but Brother Cheng was quite satisfied.
"Not bad, not bad, fairly respectful of me as an opponent!"
"Aware of sending sufficient weight to deliver."
He drew out the Cold Slayer Sword and slowly flew to the front of the array.
Han Wen, Duan Yue, and Ji Linghan hurriedly followed.
Mang Ye gritted his teeth and stood erect behind him, refusing to relent.
As for others...
They sensibly switched to spectator mode.
The impending battle had nothing to do with them anymore, regardless of victory or defeat, they couldn’t alter the outcome.
"You are Jiang Cheng?"
Venerable Qi Yan surveyed Sect Leader Jiang, astonished to find he really was just an Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, without hidden realms?
How did he slay so many of their people?
His attention swiftly diverted to Han Wen and Duan Yue behind.
"Ice Realm people!"
"Indeed, Emperor Realm Eighth Layer!"
The survivor previously released back reported the presence of two Ice Race experts.
"I thought this scoundrel had such capabilities; turns out you were secretly aiding him!"
In his mind, the previous battle callously involved Han Wen and Duan Yue secretly supporting Jiang Cheng with Divine Soul.
Resulting in such incredible combat achievements.
