The Corpse of the Ancient Feather Supreme Being — The Situation Is Extremely Favorable to Him
The Corpse of the Ancient Feather Supreme Being — The Situation Is Extremely Favorable to Him
A terrifying baleful aura burst forth, flooding out in all directions like a torrent. Everyone’s expression changed drastically, shocked and furious.
Many people hadn’t even reacted yet. They had never expected Jiang Chen to do this — completely heedless of the consequences, directly breaking the seal on the Mysterious Jade.
Ji Chuyue’s face also turned pale.
In her eyes, Jiang Chen’s actions today were utterly unfamiliar. He was no longer the confident, resolute Jiang Chen she knew.
Especially since Jiang Chen had even hidden his identity as the Successor of Demonic Arts.
This made her body tremble slightly, her heart filled with pain, feeling that she had been deceived and used by Jiang Chen.
“Damn it, this guy harbors evil intentions. He wants to trap and kill all of us here, then devour our Sources.”
“As the Successor of Demonic Arts, how could he possibly have come in good faith to rescue the Ji Family’s ancestor?”
At this moment, sky-piercing killing intent erupted from this place.
Everyone dodged the purple waterfall while glaring fixedly at Jiang Chen, their eyes practically spitting fire, wishing they could cut him into a thousand pieces.
The many True Daoists were even more enraged and hateful. If they weren’t unable to free their hands, they would probably have already struck Jiang Chen dead.
“You promised me — once you escaped, you would kill them.”
Jiang Chen naturally paid no mind to the crowd’s thoughts and expressions at this moment.
With a somewhat gleeful smile on his face, he spoke to the Daoist within the Mysterious Jade.
Crack—
The Mysterious Jade sealing the cavern shattered with a crack in Jiang Chen’s hand, pieces falling one after another, crashing down into the cavern.
The feathered-robed, star-crowned Daoist within seemed to have heard Jiang Chen’s words.
His body, which had appeared utterly devoid of life, suddenly trembled.
His tightly shut eyes seemed about to open, revealing endless baleful aura, as if countless living beings had once been buried by his hand.
This sight filled everyone with dread. Their physiques felt as if they were about to crack apart, unable to withstand that terrifying aura leaking out.
Even Sacred Emperor Realm existences were trembling at this moment, deeply uneasy.
This Daoist’s strength in life had to have been terrifying beyond description.
“This old Daoist has finally escaped.”
The Feathered-Robe Old Daoist murmured slowly, as if sighing with emotion, and also as if exulting.
But what everyone heard in his words was endless baleful aura, towering enough to blot out the sky, suffocating.
“Jiang Chen, quickly take this chance to leave. Escape through that cavern.”
The Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation in Jiang Chen’s mind urged him, feeling that this Feathered-Robe Daoist was not someone easy to get along with.
Especially that revealed baleful aura — it made the spirit even more uneasy.
Jiang Chen nodded. He also understood the principle of trying to skin a tiger, so his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light, heading straight for the cavern ahead to flee.
As for what would happen behind him, that had nothing to do with him anymore.
Although he very much wanted to see with his own eyes how Gu Changge would be killed by that Feathered-Robe Daoist.
“Not good, that brat is escaping!”
Seeing Jiang Chen’s figure vanish into the cavern, many people’s expressions changed drastically, even more enraged and unwilling.
They had watched helplessly as Jiang Chen broke the Mysterious Jade’s seal, released the Daoist sealed within, and then watched him flee scot-free.
How could this not make them furious?
But right now they had no time to chase Jiang Chen, because there was a greater matter before them.
The Feathered-Robe Daoist who had broken out of the Mysterious Jade’s seal was clearly no kind soul at a glance.
“Be careful of this person.”
The True Daoist of Sky Emperor Mountain said gravely, looking at the Feathered-Robe Daoist with utmost wariness, guarding against a sudden attack.
The others also brought out their respective artifacts, standing ready as if facing a great enemy.
“Heh heh... This old Daoist never thought there would truly come a day of escape. You are all so fortunate to witness this scene — even if you die, you should die content.”
The Feathered-Robe Old Daoist wore a cold smile on his face. He had originally appeared to have the bearing of an immortal sage.
But because of this expression, an evil air inexplicably seeped through.
He swept his gaze over everyone present, not caring in the slightest about the many True Daoists.
The other Cultivators and living beings, in his eyes, were no different from rotten shrimp and stinking fish — not even qualified to make him take things seriously.
Although he was merely a wisp of malicious will nurtured within a corpse, he had inherited many of the original Feathered-Robe Old Daoist’s Daoist arts and divine abilities.
Even here, he could easily sweep aside the many True Daoists.
“I think I know who he is. The Ancient Feather Supreme Being — an Absolute Being of the Celestial Ancient Times, defeated by the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, and afterward vanished without a trace...”
“I never imagined he was also trapped in Kun Mountain. Looking at it now, his corpse must have undergone a transformation and produced a new intelligence. We are absolutely no match for him.”
At this moment, a True Daoist of the Ancient Ye Family suddenly spoke, his gaze incomparably grave, filled with shock, staring fixedly at the patterns on the Feathered-Robe Old Daoist’s sleeves.
In the Celestial Ancient Times, any existence who could be called an Ancient Supreme Being had a cultivation of at least the Celestial Realm.
Even though the world’s environment had changed drastically now, making it hard to exert Celestial Realm power, they were still far beyond what these people could contend with.
Hearing these words, everyone’s hearts sank, deeply wary and cautious.
An Ancient Supreme Being’s corpse undergoing transformation after death — didn’t that mean the corpse before them was at least at the Celestial Realm level?
Who could break through that?
Even after countless years, with blood qi withered and declined, in the current Beyond, there were probably few who could contend against it.
No wonder the Ji Family’s ancestor Ji Shengchu had suddenly sent a warning transmission back then, telling everyone not to touch that piece of Mysterious Jade.
“Damnable Successor of Demonic Arts — he actually released such a peerless great fiend!”
“If we let him escape Kun Mountain, he’ll probably become the next demoness in red.”
Someone cursed angrily, their expression extremely ugly, wishing they could grind Jiang Chen to dust.
But Jiang Chen had already fled into the cavern, and they couldn’t catch up to him anytime soon.
“Leave that Jiang Chen to me. I’ll have to trouble everyone here with this one.”
Gu Changge suddenly spoke at this moment, his expression appearing extremely grave, as if he too found this matter thorny.
“At this point, it can only be this way. We’ll hold this person off and see if we can destroy him here.”
“As for Jiang Chen’s side, we’ll have to trouble Young Master Changge to give chase.”
Hearing this, the True Daoists of the various families exchanged glances, then nodded.
They were quite reassured about Gu Changge’s strength. If he encountered Jiang Chen down there, Jiang Chen would surely be unable to escape.
But that was the best-case assumption.
After all, Jiang Chen was a Divine Source Master, and the terrain here was extremely favorable to him.
If Gu Changge wasn’t careful, he might even suffer a loss.
The Phoenix Lady, the King of Six Crowns, the Sky Demon Sovereign, and the others sighed inwardly, knowing that with their strength, they couldn’t be of any help now.
They could only have the experts behind them cover for them as they quietly made their way toward the cavern, attempting to leave this place.
If a great battle broke out soon, no one would be able to protect them.
“Trying to escape? Today, everyone stays here.”
The Feathered-Robe Old Daoist seemed to see through everyone’s plans. With a cold laugh, his great sleeve reached forward.
Terrifying baleful aura surged skyward, like a breached Astral River, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. Bones crackled and snapped — it was suffocating.
The other True Daoists didn’t dare be careless at this moment either, hastily bringing out their respective Dao Artifacts.
Terrifying pressure interwove, permeating the void of this place, like immortal divine weapons colliding one after another, their momentum towering to the heavens.
The whole of Kun Mountain trembled. Radiance rushed to the sky, directly piercing through the Heavenly Palace, shooting straight toward the outer domains.
For a time, countless Cultivators and living beings in the outside world witnessed this scene in shock, utterly horrified.
And while the Feathered-Robe Old Daoist clashed with the crowd,
Gu Changge’s figure also moved, stepping directly down into the cavern, quickly vanishing from sight.
Now, with the Feathered-Robe Old Daoist covering for him and conveniently buying time,
if the Ji Family’s ancestor was trapped beneath the cavern, that could save him quite a bit of time.
As for where Jiang Chen had fled, he wasn’t anxious.
Because Jiang Chen carried the demonic seed he had planted. Even if Jiang Chen fled to the ends of the earth, to the other shore of the starry sky, Gu Changge could still catch him.
Beneath the cavern was extremely vast, incomparably wide, with no end in sight.
The grand underground palace exuded an ancient, weathered air, as if stained with endless dust.
The stone chambers, stone halls, and everything else were filled with the traces of passing years.
After Jiang Chen rushed in, he followed the words of the Celestial Boat of Creation’s Artifact Spirit, heading deeper all the way.
There were many Restrictions here. The four walls were covered with all kinds of ancient patterns, inlaid with numerous divine stones radiating hazy light.
If there were enough time, Jiang Chen would have wanted to take all these things with him.
“Do you think the people behind will catch up? Gu Changge is strong, but he probably isn’t a match for that Daoist.”
Jiang Chen ran deeper while conversing with the Celestial Boat of Creation’s Artifact Spirit in his mind.
He knew that Feathered-Robe Daoist’s strength was terrifying.
But Gu Changge simply had too many tricks up his sleeve. He didn’t know whether the Feathered-Robe Daoist could kill Gu Changge.
“I think it’s very unlikely. But that Feathered-Robe Daoist should be able to hold Gu Changge up for a while, buying you time to escape.”
The Celestial Boat of Creation’s Artifact Spirit said, not believing the Feathered-Robe Daoist could kill Gu Changge.
Moreover, compared to the Feathered-Robe Daoist, Gu Changge seemed even more unfathomable and mysterious in its eyes.
Jiang Chen fell silent, sighing softly in his heart, saying nothing more.
He felt that even if he escaped from Kun Mountain, he would become a rat crossing the street — an enemy of the entire world.
Gu Changge had slapped the hat of Successor of Demonic Arts onto his head.
Back when he obtained that inheritance, he had felt it didn’t seem like an orthodox art, but he couldn’t afford to care about that.
It’s just that he and that so-called Successor of Demonic Arts had absolutely nothing to do with each other.
Being treated as the Successor of Demonic Arts today was truly something he had no choice about.
“As things stand now, I can only take it one step at a time. First escape this damned place, then think of other ways.”
Jiang Chen sighed in his heart, but this only further hardened his resolve for revenge.
The underground palace was extremely vast and cold, and equally deathly silent.
Apart from some strange treasures hanging on the four walls, emitting faint light,
this place was more like an abyss buried at the very end of the earth.
Fortunately, with the help of the Celestial Boat of Creation’s Artifact Spirit, Jiang Chen avoided taking some dead ends, and afterward proceeded deeper without mishap.
His heart gradually calmed down, no longer as panicked and uneasy as when he arrived. After all, the Feathered-Robe Daoist’s strength was extremely terrifying — he should be able to hold up Gu Changge and the others for a long time.
He might even suppress and kill them all outside the cavern.
