Chapter 1069: Fierce Beasts 770

...

......

"Who is outside?"

Just as Jiang Chen was pondering whether this matter had anything to do with Mother Earth, from the deepest part of Changyang Mountain, suddenly came a bold and hearty voice.

"A strong one, a rare strong one!"

Judging a person by their voice alone, Jiang Chen could tell that the speaker’s strength must far surpass his own.

Because from that voice, he sensed a trace of the ultimate truth of strength.

The ultimate truth of strength is the signature Divine Ability of Pangu Great God, which can condense all the tangible and intangible strength of the entire body into one, thus unleashing incomparable power.

Throughout the entire Prehistoric World, only Jiang Chen had grasped this Supreme Divine Power of the Pangu Great God, not even the Twelve Ancestral Witches had mastered it, indicating the difficulty of this Divine Ability.

And now, Jiang Chen had finally encountered a being close to the ultimate truth of strength.

The voice that came from the deepest part of Changyang Mountain sounded ordinary to others, but to Jiang Chen, it contained many forces such as the power of vital energy, the Power of Rules, and the power of the physique, and so on.

Though these forces did not encompass all the strength in a human body, they were already trending in that direction. This indicated that the speaker had touched the threshold of the ultimate truth of strength and was striving in that direction.

The beginning is the most difficult part; as long as there is direction, the rest is a matter of gradual improvement. Sooner or later, the ultimate truth of strength could be refined to perfection.

"No wonder Xing Tian became the number one person of the Witch Clan, his talent is truly exceptional. And no wonder the Twelve Ancestral Witches valued Xing Tian so much, granting him numerous honors and privileges."

Apart from Jiang Chen, the only other being that could speak here was the great witch Xing Tian, who was sealed in this place.

That is to say, the one who had just spoken was undoubtedly Xing Tian, and it remains unknown whether it was his head or his body who spoke.

The ultimate truth of strength, ah, the signature Divine Ability of Pangu Great God that not even the Twelve Ancestral Witches could comprehend, yet Xing Tian had found a lead to it, showing his extraordinariness. In some ways, he even surpassed the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Xing Tian was indeed different from the other members of the Witch Clan, as he was not a great witch created by the Twelve Ancestral Witches but was born from Pangu’s Heart, the first great witch of the Witch Clan, only slightly behind the Ancestral Witches.

According to what Jiang Chen knew, when Mother Earth transformed into Reincarnation, causing a vacancy among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, they decided to select another Ancestral Witch to perfect the God-killing Array.

Logically speaking, after Mother Earth became Reincarnation, the most eligible to take her place was Xing Tian. Whether it was status or strength, Xing Tian was highly suitable.

One could say that within the entire Witch Clan, there was no one more appropriate than Xing Tian. Initially, he was the candidate most favored by the Ancestral Witches.

But later, after some discussion, the Ancestral Witches gave up on Xing Tian. Instead, they gathered the essence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and used Pangu’s Heart to give life to a new being, nurturing another Ancestral Witch, Wu Shisan!

The reasons why the Ancestral Witches gave up on Xing Tian were simple; his talent was too exceptional, and he was the only one in the Witch Clan who had inherited the Great Dao of strength from Pangu Great God. To make him the Ancestral Witch of Earth was not to benefit him, but rather to hold him back.

Xing Tian was the most Pangu-like among the Witch Clan. He should follow the path of strength, for only then could he reach further.

"The most Pangu-like witch!"

The evaluation of Xing Tian within the Witch Clan could not be any higher, even surpassing the Twelve Ancestral Witches, indicating his extraordinariness.

"Senior, I am Jiang Chen, descendant of the Flame Emperor!"

Although shocked by Xing Tian’s extraordinariness, Jiang Chen’s response was swift, and he quickly answered aloud.

"Hm? Descendant of the Flame Emperor? Why do I sense the aura of Pangu on you? Indeed, Chiyou is also a descendant of the Flame Emperor. It’s normal for you to have the aura of Pangu."

From the deepest part of Changyang Mountain, Xing Tian’s muttering voice continued intermittently.

Earlier in his life, Jiang Chen followed the path of transforming into Pangu, carrying an extremely pure aura of Pangu, not far behind the Ancestral Witches. It was only because he had changed his cultivation path that if Xing Tian saw Jiang Chen now, even he would be startled by the aura of Pangu, which was as strong as his own.

"Senior Xing Tian, I have come to seek you for an important matter to discuss."

Seeing that his own origins had been exposed, Xing Tian was silent for quite a long time before he finally responded, and Jiang Chen couldn’t help feeling speechless. He called out loudly once again.

"Meet me?"

"You might be disappointed, for this place is dangerous, rife with sha qi, and even fierce beasts lurk within. I’m afraid you won’t be able to pass through."

Perhaps it was because of the Pangu aura that Jiang Chen carried, or maybe it was out of respect for Chiyou, or maybe it was a combination of both—whatever the reason, Xing Tian’s tone softened considerably, even warning Jiang Chen of the dangers and advising him not to enter rashly.

"Dangerous!"

Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed. If even a being like Xing Tian spoke of danger, it was clear the situation inside was extremely complicated. However, no matter how perilous it was, he had to go in to obtain the axe of Xing Tian.

"Senior, rest assured, although I am not talented, I do have ways to enter and find you,"

Knowing that with the sha qi ocean in front of him, it would be impossible to come to terms with Xing Tian, Jiang Chen steeled his heart and continued to move forward, heading in the direction Xing Tian was.

The dangers Xing Tian mentioned, Jiang Chen had roughly guessed, were likely related to those twelve sha qi creatures. Attacks from beings at the Quasi-Saint Great Perfection level came twelvefold all at once—indeed, there were few who could withstand that.

"Ignorance!"

"The peril of this place is such that even Great Divine Transcendents might not come out unscathed. You’re merely an inferior Human King; don’t overestimate your strength. This place is not for you to tread."

"Moreover, I am sealed here and cannot free myself, so you should not harbor hope that I can assist you. Even if I wanted to, I can’t get out, so what can be done?"

Seeing Jiang Chen’s determination to come here, Xing Tian thought he was being reckless or perhaps was just young and inexperienced, so he advised him to leave the area.

Inferior Human King...

Jiang Chen was nearly choked to death by Xing Tian’s words.

Within the Human Race, apart from Dayu, although the strengths of other Human Kings varied, their statuses remained the same—all were revered sages who had been venerated through generations.

But in the eyes of other races, Human Kings were ranked into different levels. How were they divided? Quite simply: the strong ones were the superior Human Kings, the average ones were the middle Human Kings, and the weaker ones were the inferior Human Kings.

Jiang Chen’s strength was comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint at the Great Perfection level, which would rank him among the superior kings. However, because his position as king was unstable, he appeared to be the weakest. Consequently, Xing Tian called him an inferior Human King.

"Power!"

Feeling demeaned, Jiang Chen was naturally displeased, and moreover, with such weak strength, it was unlikely that Xing Tian would take him seriously in following negotiations.

Therefore, after some thought, Jiang Chen decided to flex his muscles a bit to show Xing Tian that he, Jiang Chen, was not just some no-name personage.

After all, the more impressive one’s display, the smoother the subsequent negotiations might be. Otherwise, if a no-name nobody came up trying to bargain for the axe of Xing Tian, why would Xing Tian bother with him?

In the eyes of the strong, power is the best way to knock on the door.

Boom!

With a mere thought, Jiang Chen unleashed his innate divine ability— the ultimate expression of Power—gifted by Pangu Great God.

In just an instant, all of Jiang Chen’s strength—mental power, intelligence, physical strength, magical power... every tangible and intangible force—converged into one, swirling within him.

Boom!

In that moment, Jiang Chen’s strength seemed to rise limitlessly. The aura emanating from him was so powerful that it forced the surrounding sha qi to roll back in retreat.

Even Xing Tian, quite far away, could sense the astonishing level of power contained within Jiang Chen.

"Strange!"

At that moment, Xing Tian’s face revealed a very strange expression. Although he was surprised by the power that Jiang Chen could unleash, it was still not something he would take too seriously.

The surprise for Xing Tian lay in the fact that he felt a thread of familiarity within Jiang Chen’s divine ability, which closely resembled the ultimate expression of Power understood by the Witch Clan—strikingly similar.
