Chapter 1296 - 1296: A Brand-New Power

Before the duel with Yuan Ke, Jiang Cheng had already understood some of the Daoist Saint's skills.

It was said he could wield a portion of the Power of the Celestial Dao.

Jiang Cheng had always been curious, what about the Daoist Saints in the Land of Dao Extinction?

This place was not affected by the Power of the Celestial Dao at all, so what do they do?

And now he finally understood, a Daoist Saint indeed was not simple.

What the Yuan Ke Daoist Saint used at this moment was not the Power of the Celestial Dao.

Instead, it was... a mysterious force he created himself.

This force was somewhat similar to the Star Power of a Main Star like the Emperor Sword Star, but not exactly the same.

This scene took everyone in the Mowu Sect by surprise.

"Wasn't it said that all powers were sealed? How can he still use Immortal Power?"

In fact, not only them, even Daoist Venerable Lin Jing and Daoist Venerable Ming Jia were puzzled.

For these Daoist Venerables, it was also a very unfamiliar domain.

"That is not Immortal Power."

Only Fan Lei Daoist Venerable from the Celestial Palace understood this clearly.

"It is Daoist Essence!"

His expression was quite grim.

Once Jiang Cheng was killed, Yuan Ke would likely not kindly let the rest go.

"Unless that kid really hid his Realm, otherwise he is finished this time."

"What on earth is Daoist Essence?"

The Three-Eyed Tiger curled its lips, "I don't see that Daoist Essence being so powerful."

Seeing this ignorant Tiger Demon still indifferent at this stage, Fan Lei glared at him with displeasure.

"You can think of it as the Power of Self, a brand new power created by a Daoist Saint himself."

"Even if one day the Primordial Immortal Realm perishes, and the Heavenly Dao and Origin all vanish, and the Immortal Power completely dissipates, the Daoist Essence of the Daoist Saint will still exist."

In that distant Challenge Space, the Daoist Essence unleashed by Yuan Ke Daoist Saint did not seem grand.

However, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable's eyes were filled with intense fear.

"The attribute of Daoist Essence varies, as endowed by the Daoist Saint themselves."

"Before engaging, no one knows what kind of power it is."

As he explained this, everyone present was both enlightened and shocked.

Assign their own attributes to Daoist Essence?

What does that mean?

Every attack released by an Immortal, in essence, is Immortal Power, just transformed into forms like swordsmanship, Immortal Techniques, Demon Power, or Demonic Essence.

Whether it's Sword Power, Power of Death, Power of Destruction, or Fire Power... all are essentially Immortal Power.

Equal Immortal Power can counter these attacks.

But Daoist Essence is different, it belongs to a 'different kind' of power.

Using Immortal Power might hardly defend against it.

This is one of the reasons why the Land of Dao Extinction does not dare to invade the Celestial Palace, besides the Ten Celestial Emperors, the Celestial Palace has several hundred Main Stars.

The Star Power pervading those Main Stars also does not belong to the Immortal Power System, it's another kind of power.

Below a Daoist Saint, one would suffer greatly when encountering Star Power.

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable had dealings with many Divine Monarchs and had seen various Daoist Essences.

Yuan Ke's Daoist Essence was not much; among the Daoist Saints, it should be considered weak.

If using only Daoist Essence, he could at most suppress one or two Daoist Venerables.

But unfortunately, Jiang Cheng currently could not even use Immortal Power.

Yet within that Challenge Space, Yuan Ke's Daoist Essence hit Sect Leader Jiang squarely.

Immediately following, the area where he was struck simply vanished into thin air.

It was a true disappearance, as if forcefully erased.

The part that was hit did not return to the cycle of heaven and earth, it was just gone without a trace.

Subsequently, he fell down without suspense.

"Hahahahaha..."

Only when Jiang Cheng truly made no sound did Yuan Ke Daoist Saint completely relax.

Jiang Cheng was truly demonic and mysterious.

Taking down thirty or forty Daoist Venerables alone was something Yuan Ke admits he could not do.

Though he had the upper hand just now, up until the end of the battle, he was worried Jiang Cheng would unleash some miraculous means.

Fortunately, none of that happened.

He won!

The disciples from the Mowu Sect outside were like mourners.

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing and Daoist Venerable Ming Jia sat paralyzed on the ground, not daring to believe that Sect Leader Jiang was truly dead.

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable immediately left the scene.

Jiang Cheng was dead, there was no way he wanted to remain there and meet the same fate.

The only one who remained calm was the Three-Eyed Tiger.

He even took this opportunity to embrace the trembling Yan Yi, taking advantage of the situation.

"Girl, don't be afraid, I will always be with you!"

"Even if I die, I will die before you!"

He said these words with great heroic spirit, completely unlike his usual demeanor.

But at this moment, Yan Yi was in a state of extreme shock and distraction, unable to discern the truth of the words.

She actually let him hold her without pushing away.

The reason the Three-Eyed Tiger was not worried was simple—he had seen similar scenes too many times.

He had lost count of how many times he had seen Jiang Cheng die in front of him.

In each instance, didn't he always come back to life, full of vigor, and win the battle?

Brother Cheng just liked to intentionally die a little to boost the enemy's confidence, then revive and slap them to death.

It was a basic maneuver, calm down, calm down.

Inside the Challenge Space, the triumphant laughter of Yuan Ke Daoist Saint gradually faltered.

Because the Challenge Space did not disappear.

Nor did he receive the rule rewards of a victorious challenge.

"What's going on here?"

"How can the challenge not yet be over?"

He looked around in panic, this situation beyond common sense made him lose his composure.

"This is impossible!"

"I clearly won! He is already dead!"

He couldn't help but look at those Mowu Sect disciples outside, hoping to gain the validation of the 'audience.'"

And those like Lin Jing and Ming Jia, once filled with grief and despair, were now dumbstruck.

They wiped their eyes, equally unable to figure out the situation.

"What's happening?"

"Is someone else still in there?"

"Or could it be... that Sect Leader Jiang isn't actually dead?"

Inside the Challenge Space, Brother Cheng heard the system prompt sound as he wished.

"Ding! Host has been killed, detecting enemy power, arranging resurrection plan."

"Ding! Host has received a Thousand Battle Order, which allows resetting of challenge rules."

Upon hearing this solution, Brother Cheng was so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood.

In fact, he had almost been suicidal a moment ago.

Faced with the invincible miraculous Daoist Essence, anyone else in his position would certainly be powerless.

But Jiang Cheng had a way.

For instance, he could use the skill of deprivation to temporarily strip Yuan Ke's Daoist Essence.

Then it would be just a fight between two ordinary people skilled in profound Martial Techniques.

Who would win was still uncertain.

It was just that depriving a Daoist Saint would require at least 30 or 40 billion Immortal Yuan Points, it was too wasteful.

He intentionally chose to use the system resurrection to cheat.

Upon hearing Fan Lei's extravagant praise of the Daoist Essence, he thought it necessary for himself to have a set.

But he currently was only at the Ultimate Realm, far from creating Daoist Essence.

The only shortcut was to rely on the system's resurrection plan to directly bestow it upon him.

I was killed by Daoist Essence, you don't give me a stronger Daoist Essence to retaliate, how can that be reasonable?

But who knew, it seems the system guessed his thoughts and intentionally concocted a 'Thousand Battle Order' that he didn't even care for.
