Chapter 1510: Chapter 1004 Taoist Heavenly Venerable_2

The twelve shattered Merit Gold Wheels reappeared, casting down their dazzling golden light and enveloping Jiang Chen once again. Standing in the midst of the golden radiance, he coldly watched the Evil Corpse of the Saint of Taiqing, the Morality Heavenly Venerable.

At this moment, Jiang Chen harbored the intent to kill the Morality Heavenly Venerable. He wanted him dead, to use his life to cultivate the Sin Treasure Wheel with his divine powers.

After all, as the evil corpse of a Saint, being a part of the Saint, the amount of karma gained from killing him would be nearly as substantial as slaying ten Great Divine Transcendents.

It was no exaggeration to say that even destroying the four great continents would not incur a larger sin than killing the evil corpse of a Saint. That was a Saint, the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao’s dignity. To kill the incarnation of a Saint was akin to cursing the face of the Heavenly Dao, and the enormity of such a sin was beyond description.

Furthermore, since the beginning of their clash, Jiang Chen had been on the defensive. Once or twice was tolerable, but this had happened three or four times already, and his patience was wearing thin, with a fire of rage already smoldering within his heart. The sneak attacks of the Morality Heavenly Venerable had finally ignited that anger completely.

Since the great battle had already commenced, it would be difficult to end it without killing a few individuals.

And the Morality Heavenly Venerable, being the evil corpse of a Saint, certainly had sufficient status and strength. Let Jiang Chen use his blood to end this battle.

"Star Lord, do not persist in your delusion."

"The Innate Heaven and Earth Banner stained with the blood of Tiandi is an ominous object, unfit to exist in the world. Star Lord, bestow it upon me so that I can destroy it and settle the matter of the past."

The Morality Heavenly Venerable did not continue to strike, but instead stood in place, speaking softly to Jiang Chen, persuading him to hand over the Innate Heaven and Earth Banner.

"Heh, what you deem an ominous object is an ominous object? What of an Emperor-Slaying Artifact? I don’t care about that, and it’s none of your concern."

Jiang Chen replied with a cold laugh, his tone full of mockery.

It was truly the case of the inexplicably worried minding the flat taste of a turnip; him, a rightful supreme being of Heaven and Earth, who doesn’t care about the attributes of the Innate Heaven and Earth Banner. Yet these unrelated characters pop up one after another, declaring it ominous.

Isn’t that laughable? The ones who should dread the Innate Heaven and Earth Banner the most are none other than Heaven and Earth supremes like himself and the Jade Emperor. Yet before the two of them could make a statement, these Mystic Sect Great Divine Transcendents jumped out, eager to destroy it.

"Alas, words are of no avail. Let’s see the truth through action."

The Morality Heavenly Venerable sighed deeply, waving the dust whisk in his hand, preparing to move. Honestly, he did not wish to battle Jiang Chen, as he had no confidence in overcoming him.

The surprise attack on Jiang Chen was his best chance, yet it was a pity he did not succeed. Otherwise, he would not need to confront Jiang Chen now.

"Tiandi, we shall cover for you!"

Seeing that the Morality Heavenly Venerable intended to attack, the twenty-four Great Divine Transcendents spoke up together.

They all understood that the Morality Heavenly Venerable alone was no match for Jiang Chen. But with their help, it could be a different story.

The Morality Heavenly Venerable was an incarnation of the Saint of Taiqing, and due to innate limitations, his strength would always be one level lower than his main self.

But the Saint of Taiqing was powerful; even though his evil corpse was one realm lower, his strength was still incredibly formidable to others. He was already rooted in the Sub-Saint realm, only rivaled by the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

His cultivation might be so, but his strength was not the same because, with the stature of a Saint, the strength exhibited by the Saint’s three corpses was far beyond their realm.

In other words, although the Morality Heavenly Venerable’s realm was Sub-Saint, his strength was at the level of a complete Saint.

Jiang Chen also recognized this, hence his excessively grave demeanor. However, it was somewhat fortunate that for this grand battle, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign couldn’t arrive, a silver lining in unfortunate circumstances.

The Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, two brothers, always acted together against enemies. Normally, since the Saint of Taiqing sent out an incarnation, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign would also send out an incarnation to follow.

But this time was different. When they achieved sainthood, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s cultivation fell short, unable to sever his obsessions, only succeeding in removing his good and evil corpses.

This battle was not for the sake of all beings, so the good corpse could not make an appearance. And the evil corpse of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign had long since turned into the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord and rebelled, making it even less likely for it to take action.

Therefore, in this grand battle, Jiang Chen had only one Saint as his enemy— the Saint of Taiqing. As for the two saints of the west, they would not act against Jiang Chen for the time being.

"Star Lord, don’t wait for reinforcements. In this battle, the only one the Human Race can dispatch is you alone."

Seeing Jiang Chen still defending, it seems he was waiting for something, suddenly, a Sub-Saint spoke out loud.

Indeed, as he said, this time the Human Race was only able to send out one expert, Jiang Chen himself. Other Human Race high-level practitioners, including the forebears, were all held back and could not make it in time.

In terms of the number of high-level practitioners, how can the Human Race compare with the Mystic Sect?

This time, to rescue the Tiandi, the Mystic Sect is truly serious. Just openly, they mobilized twenty-four Great Divine Transcendents to deal with Jiang Chen.

And in secret, there are even more hidden experts. However, the vast majority of them are unwilling to completely fall out with Jiang Chen, so they didn’t confront him. Instead, they went elsewhere to contain other strong practitioners of the Human Race.

Indeed, many of the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents responsible for containing the Human Race’s strong practitioners are from the neutral camp.

Clearly neutral, yet they still had to get involved in this matter; one can only say that’s just how a society based on personal relations works, with too many helplessness.

That Mystic Sect’s Tiandi, after all, is their fellow Taoist, who once studied the Tao together in the Zixiao Palace, sharing a brotherhood. When they meet, they even need to address each other as Dao brothers, to show closeness.

Such a relationship, in the matter of his revival, how can one possibly refuse to help? Thus, even if they are reluctant, those Great Divine Transcendents from the neutral camp still made a move.

Not to deal with the Human Race, but for the resurrection of that Mystic Sect’s Tiandi.

Without becoming a Saint, one ultimately cannot escape; who can guarantee that they won’t be drawn into a catastrophe and turned into Tribulation Ashes one day? Today we all contribute to help the Mystic Sect’s Tiandi, when it comes to our turn in the future, others will do the same.

Conversely, if you don’t help the Mystic Sect’s Tiandi today, why should you expect others to help you in the future?

There must be giving in order to receive, this action is said to save the Mystic Sect’s Tiandi, but actually it’s all about securing one’s own future safety.

"To deal with you, why would I need any help?"

At this moment, Jiang Chen appeared extremely arrogant, his language showing no regard for everyone present.

No one would come to help him — Jiang Chen had anticipated this even before he arrived here. How could the Human Race compare with the Mystic Sect in terms of high-level practitioners?

Under the Mystic Sect’s blockade, it would be normal for no one to come help; it would be strange if someone did.

"Braggart!"

The Heavenly Venerable of Morality sneered, not expecting Jiang Chen to still be so arrogant even when disaster loomed.

He then stepped forward, arriving beside the crowd, his body covered in countless runes, enhancing the Heaven and Earth Assimilation God-killing Array.

Then, an ancient sacrificial sound rose up, as if gods and demons were weeping and praying; a sense of decay flowed Between Heaven and Earth, as though reaching the end, ready for complete annihilation.

"Twelve golden men, come!"

With the addition of the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, the power of the Heaven and Earth Assimilation God-killing Array increased even further. Jiang Chen did not dare to be careless and waved his hand to summon the twelve golden men from the Divine Court.

The twelve golden men, an Emperor-Slaying Artifact refined by the First Emperor, with power comparable to Quasi-Saints. Later refined by Jiang Chen, their power leveled up even further, able to unleash battle power comparable to a Great Divine Transcendent even without someone controlling them.

In Jiang Chen’s hands, they could even unleash power at the level of a Sub-Saint. You should know, even at Jiang Chen’s most powerful moment, in terms of physical strength, he could not compare to the twelve golden men.

Therefore, for him at this moment, the twelve golden men could completely act as a substitute for his physical body, enabling him to unleash combat power far beyond his peak period.

Boom!

The Divine Court shook, the twelve golden men transformed into twelve streaks of golden light and shot out, in an instant piercing through layers of void and arrived before Jiang Chen.

"Twelve Dutian God-killing Array, rise!"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen immediately displayed the strongest aspect of the twelve golden men.
