Chapter 755: Peerless Genius

Gazing at Beitang Jian’s skeletal remains, which had been devoured by countless snakes, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

The face and voice of Beitang Fengyun appeared in his mind, as if he could hear him saying, “Master, thank you!”

“Rest in peace. When I return to Coastal City, I will annihilate the lineages of Beitang Jian and Beitang Mo to avenge your family!” Jiang Chen took another deep breath, his icy gaze sweeping toward Ximen Qingsong, who was locked in battle with Yiluo in the distance.

Yiluo’s attacks were varied and unpredictable.

She wielded the Vast Sea Power and even used Sound Wave Attacks.

The sound waves pierced straight to the soul, putting Ximen Qingsong in a miserable state. He could neither kill Yiluo nor shake her off.

This made him grow increasingly anxious.

Just then…

A sharp Sword Aura slashed through the air, causing the hair on Ximen Qingsong’s body to stand on end. Terror filled his eyes. ‘Damn it… Jiang Chen is here too?’

Yiluo alone was already a massive headache.

Now, with Jiang Chen joining the fray, Ximen Qingsong instantly lost all courage to fight.

That was the fiend who had slain Beitang Mo!

“Evergreen Pine!”

Ximen Qingsong roared, and a towering tree appeared behind him. It was lush and vibrant, with a canopy like a massive cloud.

Countless green vines shot out from the pine tree.

Surging forward.

Like countless striking limbs, they relentlessly attacked Jiang Chen and Yiluo.

Yiluo’s expression was calm. She pointed a slender, elegant finger into the air. “Sea God Finger!”

HUMMM!

Behind her, the massive figure of a blond-haired, blue-eyed Sea God seemed to appear. This wasn’t the Sea God Kun Peng revered by the Sea Race of the North Nether Sea, but the Sea God worshipped by the Mermaid Clan. He was a True God who had once dominated the Primordial Era. Though he had long since fallen, the Totem Power he left behind could still be wielded by the Mermaid Clan!

The giant Sea God figure’s gaze was a deep, mysterious blue, as if a vast ocean resided within its eyes.

A single golden finger jabbed forward through the air.

BOOM!

The giant finger slammed into the great green tree, causing the entire pine to shake violently as emerald leaves rained down.

Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and struck with his sword. “Heaven-Slaying!”

SWOOSH!

A massive Sword Aura slashed down from the top of the giant pine, forcefully shattering its immense canopy. With its canopy broken and Martial Soul injured, Ximen Qingsong spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

His gaze toward Jiang Chen was now filled with terror. ‘Damn it, didn’t this kid just break through to Emperor Realm Perfection? How can he be this strong? This level of attack power is no weaker than an expert at the Domain Third Refinement… Wait, this—is this kid a peerless prodigy? Holy shit…’

“Your Martial Soul is quite strong. I wonder if my God-slaying Sword can level up again after devouring it!” Jiang Chen licked his lips.

The gleam in his eyes grew even more fervent.

SWISH!

With a few successive flashes, he closed in on Ximen Qingsong.

“Eternal Rush!”

“Time Freeze!”

“Ten Directions Sword!”

The Sword Techniques descended like a raging tempest, relentlessly striking Ximen Qingsong.

RUMBLE!

A series of terrifying roars erupted as the giant tree swayed, causing Ximen Qingsong’s expression to shift repeatedly.

Yiluo’s attack followed immediately. “Sea God Finger!”

PTUI!

Ximen Qingsong sprayed a mouthful of blood. The great pine was already teetering on the verge of collapse, its once lush and leafy appearance now withered and gone. His eyes filled with terror; Jiang Chen’s immense combat strength made him despair. ‘To display such terrifying power at Emperor Realm Perfection, this kid must be a peerless prodigy. I can’t keep fighting. I have to run, I have to escape!’

“Evergreen Pine!”

Ximen Qingsong roared.

The giant pine swayed continuously, growing larger and larger until it was immense.

Countless whirling vines temporarily entangled Jiang Chen and Yiluo.

As the two of them hacked at the vines, just on the verge of breaking through, Ximen Qingsong shot into the sky and fled frantically in Qin Lie’s direction. “Lord Qin, help me…!”

“Hm?”

Qin Lie, who was in the middle of a heated battle with Sima Qingtian, froze for a moment when he suddenly heard Ximen Qingsong’s cry for help.

Looking toward Ximen Qingsong, his pupils suddenly contracted. “Watch out!”

“Huh?”

Ximen Qingsong froze as a wave of despair and icy coldness swept over his entire body.

“God Slaying Sword!”

A black Sword Aura sank into his body, causing Ximen Qingsong’s consciousness to vanish for a moment. When he came to, he bizarrely saw his own body—only it was missing its head. Blood gushed from his neck like a fountain. With a final trace of despair and terror, Ximen Qingsong’s consciousness gradually faded. ‘I… I actually provoked a peerless prodigy. I regret it…’

BANG!

Ximen Qingsong’s entire head exploded.

Jiang Chen grabbed his corpse and activated his Chaos Bloodline and the God-slaying Sword to devour it.

RUMBLE!

All of the Essence Blood surged into Jiang Chen’s Chaos Bloodline, while the Saint Tier Seventh Grade Martial Soul, the Evergreen Pine, was devoured by the God-slaying Sword.

BOOM!

The God-slaying Sword flashed with brilliant light as it advanced a step further, entering the Saint Tier Sixth Grade.

The corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth lifted. “A Saint Tier Sixth Grade Martial Soul. My cultivation speed can increase by a fair bit now. But for now, I should take care of these nuisances first!” He glanced at Qin Lie and ordered Yiluo, “Yiluo, go help them fight the Fiery Eighteen Dragon Riders. After I’ve slain this guy, I’ll come and help you!”

“Alright!”

Yiluo immediately turned and left.

Jiang Chen’s body shuddered as he activated the Divine Demon Tyrant Body. His physical body, equivalent to a Divine Tier Middle Level Profound Weapon, directly shattered the void, creating a series of sonic booms as he charged toward Qin Lie. “Lord Sima, I’m here to help!”

“Good!”

Sima Qingtian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his spirits lifted.

He was evenly matched with Qin Lie. With Jiang Chen’s help, his chances of victory would increase dramatically!

“Damn it…”

Facing both Jiang Chen and Sima Qingtian at the same time, the pressure on Qin Lie doubled. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. ‘I’ll get rid of this kid first!’

“Furious Sea Battle Wave Fist!”

Qin Lie roared, his entire being transforming into a humanoid dragon as he threw a punch at Jiang Chen.

“Dragon Battle Star Field!”

Jiang Chen bellowed as a purple-gold light pulsed on his arm, transforming it into a Dragon Arm.

The purple-gold Dragon Arm shot forward with immense power.

Within the expanse of purple-gold light, it seemed to transform into a sea of stars. Wherever the Dragon Arm passed, starlight was extinguished and stars shattered, filled with world-ending power.

BOOM!

The two iron fists collided, and the heavens seemed to crack, the sun and moon to spin, and the universe to turn upside down.

It was like two comets smashing into each other.

Unleashing a world-destroying force!

RUMBLE…

As the energy dissipated, all the mountain peaks for dozens of miles around were utterly pulverized by the terrifying shockwave, reduced to flat ground!

“Hahaha, Qin Lie, take this!” Sima Qingtian seized the opportunity, his spear shooting forward.

It was a black Long Spear.

As the spear emerged, a surging spear aura shot forth.

Qin Lie snorted coldly. A pair of crimson Gloves on his hands erupted with brilliant light as he grabbed for the black Long Spear. With a deafening BANG, a terrifying shockwave blasted out in all directions. The shaft of the black Long Spear bent like a spring compressed to its limit, then suddenly snapped back.

BOOM…

Qin Lie was sent flying backward.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

He smashed through several mountain ranges in succession, flying for hundreds of kilometers before a deafening boom echoed out and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

In the midst of the mushroom cloud.

Qin Lie’s eyes were incomparably cold. One of his Gloves had shattered, and the flesh of his palm had been blown away, leaving only shattered bone. His gaze flickered uncertainly as he stared at Jiang Chen. ‘Emperor Realm Perfection with the combat power of the Domain Third Refinement? This kid is a peerless prodigy? With him helping, killing Sima Qingtian today is impossible. I have to send word back.’

He took out a Token, sent out a Divine Thought, and then his gaze, filled with venomous hatred, fell upon Jiang Chen, glinting with a cold, sharp light…

“Jiang Chen? So what if you’re a peerless prodigy? You’ve offended Lord Qin, and in the end, you will die!”
