Chapter 440: Four One Eight - Vastness of Three Fists

"I figured it would be you all."

"So, have you been stuck at the half-step Dao Monarch realm for too long and lost your faith in breaking through, so you think about betraying the interests of the Human Race to gain hope for your own breakthrough?"

Staring at the visitors, Jiang Chen retorted without showing any weakness.

These people, although unfamiliar to him, were names that Jiang Chen had heard because they were once prominent figures of the Human Race. They were the elders from Yun Clan, Lei Family, and Yu Clan ancestries, respectively.

Back in the Ancient Era, they had already cultivated to the limit of Dao Monarch, being at the half-step Dao Venerable Realm. But now, after tens of millions of years, they remain within that boundary, still unable to take that crucial half-step.

This realization made them aware that with their own power, it may be difficult to break through within this lifetime, as they have already exhausted their potential.

If one is destitute, they must find a way out. And once they’ve changed, they will break through!

Out of certain helplessness, they resorted to devious plans, which led to everything happening now.

"Ignorant kid, what do you know? Our plans are beyond your comprehension."

"How many years have you been cultivating? We’ve been at the Dao Monarch Realm for millions to tens of millions of years. What we’ve experienced is far beyond your imagination."

"What insight can you gain from our decisions with your shallow experiences? As for arguing with us, you better wait until you have gained more world experience.

"Considering your youth, we will not hold you accountable. Now, retreat!"

In the face of Jiang Chen’s mockery, the elders remained unfazed. Instead, they took turns in scolding Jiang Chen.

"So you are...taking advantage of being older?"

"Or is it that once I become like you, stuck at the same realm for so long, I will understand your way of thinking? Sacrificing the interests of the Human Race for your breakthrough?"

Watching their performance, Jiang Chen feigned ignorance and asked.

"You are presumptuous!"

Being unable to break through was a sore spot for these elders. Jiang Chen repeated provocations on this point finally broke their restraint, and they scolded Jiang Chen in unison,

"Impudent! You, a junior of Jiang Family, are being too arrogant. For all these years we’ve been around, when have we suffered such humiliation?"

"Today, even though you are from Jiang Family, I am going to teach you a good lesson, so you understand what it means to respect elders."

While speaking, an elder of the Lei Family stepped forward, threatening to punish Jiang Chen.

"The Innate Thunder Dao?"

"Are you also a cultivator of the Thunder Dao? No wonder you treat the Divine Race so well, drawing them in. Are you not doing it for the Divine Race’s Innate Divine Demon inheritance?"

"Or to say, has the Divine Race already given part of the Divine Demon inheritance to you?"

From the Lei Family elder, Jiang Chen sensed the aura of Thunder Dao, and even a hint of the Divine Race presence mixed in. Apparently, this guy had been colluding with the Divine Race for quite some time now.

Actually, thinking about it, there’s nothing wrong with this. There are only a few Innate Gods in the world who have mastered the essence of the Thunder Dao. Those who didn’t fall, mysteriously disappeared.

Like the long-disappeared Leize Great God, Nine Heavens Thunder Peng who fell in the Witch Demon War, and the fleeting Thunder Emperor Great God, etc.

Basically, the Innate Divine Demons nurtured by the Thunder Source have all disappeared. The only traceable one is the Innate Divine Demon husk obtained by the elder of the Divine Race.

For the elder of the Lei Family to break through and achieve the Dao Venerable Realm, he must comprehend the essence of the Innate Thunder Dao, and the inheritance of the Divine Race perfectly meets his needs. Thinking about this, it’s not surprising that he is colluding with the Divine Race.

Such a pity.

The Lei Family was once one of the nine major tribes of the Human Race in the Great Ancient times. It had produced many experts and made countless contributions to the Human Race.

In the ancient times, there was a great benefactor of Human Race who reasoned the Tao by observing Thunder. He took the name of "Lei" and commanded the power of Thunder to protect the Human Race, becoming the founder of the Lei Family.

Since then, the Lei Family lineage has produced many great benefactors of Human Race. It’s a pity that their descendants have tarnished the reputation of their ancestors.

...

The elder of the Lei Family puffed out his chest, seeming as if he had nothing to feel guilty about, as though everything Jiang Chen said was smearing his reputation.

"I have a clear conscience, no matter how you slander me, it won’t shake my Dao heart."

"In my dealings with the Divine Race, I am merely using them to strengthen the power of the Human Race. You, a little boy, couldn’t possibly understand my plans."

"I have seen many like you who rapidly rise in power in a short period of time, have their heads turned by powerful forces, think they are invincible, and feel the need to interfere with everything."

"Unknowingly, such people do not live long. Since the Jiang Family hasn’t taught you this, I will take over the task, teach you properly on behalf of the Jiang Family, and let you recognize yourself."

The elder of the Lei Family started to move, taking steps towards Jiang Chen. As he moved, an endless emergence of Thunder appeared in the void, constantly being born and extinguished, incredibly terrifying.

As a Dao Monarch, the elder of the Lei Family was far stronger than Divine Monarch Wu Heng of the Divine Race. They weren’t even on the same level. The former could easily kill the latter.

The reason was that the elder of the Lei Family had already touched some of the mysteries of the Innate Dao Sovereign. He alone could fight against ten peak Dao Monarchs.

And this was a half-step Dao Venerable!

Even Jiang Chen in his current state was not his match. To resist a half-step Dao Venerable being, Jiang Chen must cultivate to the realm of complete Blood Rebirth.

If it was elsewhere, upon encountering a strong person like the elder of the Lei Family, Jiang Chen would naturally run as far away as possible. But here, on the ancestral land of the Human Race.
