Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 267 - 267 256 Power of Rules

267: Chapter 256: Power of Rules 267: Chapter 256: Power of Rules The Ancient Daluo, although not as powerful as the Primal Daluo, still isn’t something Jiang Chen can handle.

Didn’t you see that as soon as he made a move, he directly trapped Jiang Chen in place?

However, powerful as the Ghost Commander may be, he is not an Innate Dao Sovereign after all.

He cannot detain Jiang Chen, who possesses several innate spiritual treasures.

If Jiang Chen is determined to escape, he can only be stopped by someone who holds innate spiritual treasures.

Other than that, it is unlikely that any Daluo Golden Immortal can keep him here.

Clenching the Soul Subduing Banner in his hand, Jiang Chen said with a smile: “I’ve received your good intentions, elder, but there really isn’t anything to discuss between the living and the dead.”

As he spoke, the Great Sun Heavenly Dragon beneath Jiang Chen suddenly released a brilliant light, and boundless Innate Yang God light erupted, breaking the Ghost Commander’s restraint.

“Let’s go!” With a flicker in his mind, Jiang Chen urged the Great Sun Heavenly Dragon to fly away.

“Stay back!”

With a faint voice falling, the Ghost Commander’s body unexpectedly became vague, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen was not too shocked.

Just a tap of his toe, the Great Sun Heavenly Dragon immediately changed its direction, fleeing towards the other side.

“You can’t escape!”

The space in front of him distorted, and another Ghost Commander came out, blocking Jiang Chen’s path again.

Jiang Chen’s expression remained unchanged, he continued to change his direction, urging the Great Sun Heavenly Dragon to escape elsewhere.

However, no matter which direction he fled, a Ghost Commander would always appear in time to block his path.

In just a moment, Ghost Commanders from all eight directions had arrived, sealing off all eight directions, east-west, south-north, southwest-northeast, northwest-southeast.

They surrounded Jiang Chen.

Surrounded by eight ancient Daluo Golden Immortals, it was impossible that Jiang Chen was not panicked.

But his face showed no fear, he even had the mood to taunt: “Eight Ghost Commanders coming together, all this just to deal with me, a mere Golden Immortal?

You all are really flattering me!”

The Ghost Commanders, who have lived for an endless period, have long seen through honor and disgrace.

How could they take Jiang Chen’s scorn to heart?

One of them said: “Any ordinary Golden Immortal would not be worth such trouble.”

“But you’re different.

The Great Sun Heavenly Dragon beneath your feet is, if I’m not mistaken, the Flame Emperor’s Sun God Staff.

Possessing this treasure, it shows that your status among the human race is quite remarkable.”

“Since a distinguished guest from the Human Race has come, of course we should host you properly, lest we fall short in manners.”

The Ghost Commanders, all from the Ancient Times, could recognize the Sun God Staff, which is normal.

After all, the Sun God Staff was famous in the Ancient Times even though it is a relic of the Primal Era.

In the Primal Era, the Sun God Staff was just a wooden staff in the hands of the Flame Emperor without much use.

It was only in the Ancient Times that Jiang Family ancestors wielding this staff made it legendary in the Prehistoric World.

Casting a quick glance around, Jiang Chen, while looking for an opportunity to escape, asked: “Since you know I have an exceptional background, why dare to detain me?

Are you not afraid that the high-level experts from my clan will come to trouble you?”

Another Ghost Commander replied: “Young friend, you must be joking.

We just want to keep you as a guest, treating you with good food and drinks.

We don’t mean to do anything to you, why would the lofty individuals from the Human Race bother to trouble us?”

Jiang Chen nodded in understanding, saying: “So you plan to hold me captive and then use this fact to threaten the Human Race, right?”

After capturing him, they not only do not kill him, but also intend to treat him lavishly, isn’t this how a hostage is treated?

If not so, could it be that the Ghost Commanders from all eight directions really plan to befriend him?

The Ghost Commanders, who had been skillfully intercepted by Jiang Chen, were not embarrassed, only chuckled, shook their heads, and stated their goal clearly:

“There’s no other way, the Human Race nowadays is powerful, we can’t afford to offend them.

Without a bargaining chip in hand, we feel slightly uneasy.

So, we unavoidably inconvenience you.”

Although the Ghost Commanders had good intentions, it was a pity that Jiang Chen had no plans to cooperate.

“If the beings of Shu Region hadn’t been subjected to this disaster, holding me hostage might have been a viable threat to the Human Race.

But now, less than one in a hundred in Shu Region has survived.

Even if you capture ten of me, you cannot threaten the Human Race.”

Having said that, Jiang Chen’s tone suddenly changed and he coldly said to the eight Ghost Commanders: “Additionally, do you really think you eight working together can deal with me?”

The Ghost Commander in the east laughed loudly, saying: “Whether we can use you to threaten the Human Race or not, we’ll find out after we capture you.”

“As for whether the eight of us brothers can capture you, that’s simple, let’s test it out now.”

“Let me see what your confidence is for.”

As he spoke, the Ghost Commander extended a hand.

The surging Yin aura transformed into a giant ghost hand and grabbed Jiang Chen, attempting to capture him alive.

Jiang Chen was fearless against the ghost hand.

He only laughed and shook his head.

Immediately after, he looked towards the east.

“Dawn, is here!”

In the far east, a rising sun gradually appeared.

The light of dawn scattered the darkness, bringing boundless brightness.

After fighting until now, Jiang Chen finally made it through the night and welcomed the dawn.

Swoosh…

With the rise of the sun, Yang energy throughout Heaven and Earth began to rise, and Yin energy began to retreat.

In an instant, the strength of the evil spirits started to be suppressed.

The Sun God Staff resonated with the rising sun in an instant, drawing in strands of pure innate solar energy.

Boom…

Visibly, the power of the Sun God Staff began to ascend, releasing a grand momentum that distorted the void, eliminating the surrounding ghostly aura.

The gigantic ghostly hand that the Ghost Commander caught, before it could get close to Jiang Chen, was pierced and disintegrated by the innate sun divine light radiating from the Sun God Staff, transforming into strands of yin energy, which were swallowed by the Soul Subduing Banner.

With the Great Sun above his head, Jiang Chen had already achieved an innate and invincible position.

Even if the eight Ghost Commanders joined forces, they couldn’t stop him.

“Go!”

Stepping on the Great Sun Heavenly Dragon underneath his feet, Jiang Chen ascended into the sky, flying towards the direction of the Sun Star.

“Want to leave?

Stay!” Seeing Jiang Chen wanting to leave, the eight Ghost Commanders naturally wouldn’t let him leave, immediately reaching out to grab him.

Boom…

The moment the eight Ghost Commanders made their move, a monstrous yin energy filled the air, covering a large part of the Shu Region.

The firmament was obscured by them.

The sunlight that had just risen had also vanished without a trace.

The sunlight being blocked by the yin energy disrupted the connection between the Sun God Staff and the Sun Star, and it became elusive, and its power also diminished considerably.

When the power of the Sun God Staff diminished and could no longer resist the attacks of the eight Ghost Commanders, the next moment, eight divine abilities bombarded simultaneously, aimed at Jiang Chen in mid-air.

Whoosh…

In the void, a cold gleam flashed, and the Taichu Divine Sword silently appeared, circulating a world-shocking killing intent, shattering the incoming eight divine abilities.

At the same time, Jiang Chen waved the Soul Subduing Banner in his hand, and the sky full of ghostly light flashed, sweeping away most of the dark clouds that had been covering the sky.

Through the gap, the sunlight shone back in, and the power of the Sun God Staff surged, and the divine abilities blasted by the eight Ghost Commanders, before it could get close to Jiang Chen, were wiped out by the innate sun divine light.

“What a mighty magic treasure and what a weird ghost light.

It contains the power of Nine Abyss Weak Water, facing it, even I can’t help but feel a touch of fear.”

“Ghost Dao treasure, undoubtedly, this is a Ghost Dao treasure, specifically designed to check us, the Yin Gods.

If we don’t destroy it, it will be difficult for us to take down this human youngster today.”

In the void, the eight Ghost Gods were communicating with each other with divine thoughts, seemingly marveling at the power of the Soul Subduing Banner.

But it was strange that the eight Ghost Commanders, in perfect unison, didn’t mention a word about the Taichu Divine Sword.

Since the Taichu Divine Sword was hidden in the void, occasionally cutting out a few swords, it was impossible for the eight Ghost Commanders not to notice its trace, but since everyone was silent, it was obvious they were all coveting it.

The eight Ghost Commanders were not real brothers, but gathered together for mutual benefit, and there was plenty of deceit among them.

Now seeing an innate divine sword, everyone wants to get it in order to suppress the others, so naturally, they wouldn’t expose their intentions.

If exposed, whoever gets it would immediately be besieged by the other seven, leading to certain death or severe injury.

By not exposing it, everyone can muddy the waters, and when the time comes, they can secretly seize the innate divine sword unnoticed.

It’s all about strategizing!

…

“Brothers, let’s join hands to break that Ghost Dao treasure first.

After that, the human youngster, without a reliance, will be much easier to deal with.”

The eight Ghost Commanders looked at each other, had a plan in their hearts, and took action together, attacking the Soul Subduing Banner in Jiang Chen’s hand.

The next moment, a Dao Seal appeared on the foreheads of the eight Ghost Commanders, rotating with a ghostly light, it was extremely mysterious.

This was the Great Luo Dao Seal, one of the unique capabilities of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, transformed by the Great Dao they upheld, it had the ability to mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth’s Rules.

Hum…

Once the Dao seal emerged, Heaven and Earth mystifyingly trembled.

Then, a mysterious force descended, ignoring all defenses, surged towards Jiang Chen, acted on the Soul Subduing Banner, intending to destroy it.

The Power of Rules!

As a native god, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t be unfamiliar with the Power of Rules, so he recognized the force attacking him in the first instant.

Why can the Great Luo Golden Immortal crush the Taiyi Golden Immortal?

The key is the Power of Rules.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal can seize the power of Heaven and Earth, while the Great Luo Golden Immortal takes it a step further, seizing the Power of Rules from Heaven and Earth.

Rules are the principles of Heaven and Earth.

The Power of Rules is the force generated during the functioning of the universe.

This is a power far beyond the power of Heaven and Earth, therefore, the Taiyi Golden Immortal is no match for the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Only the Power of Rules or a more potent force from the myriad of Heavenly Laws can counter the Power of Rules.

Admittedly, Jiang Chen also mastered a bit of the Power of Rules, but how could the Power of Rules he mastered withstand the Power of Rules controlled by the eight Ghost Commanders?

It would not be an exaggeration to say that they would collapse at a single touch.

As the Power of Rules from the eight directions were about to act on the Soul Subduing Banner, threatening to destroy it, the Shangqing Charm appeared at a critical moment, sticking on the front of the Soul Subduing Banner.

At the same time, the Taichu Divine Sword appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand, was grabbed by him, and he swung it hard towards the Power of Rules from the eight directions.
