Chapter 744: 592 Exploration

Suddenly, within the demonic aura, the figure of the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign emerged, and reached his hand toward Jiang Chen.

The terrifying demonic aura surged from the palm of the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign, extinguishing Shangqing fairy light on Jiang Chen’s body one by one.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen hastily withdrew.

He didn’t expect that the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign, with his status, would deploy an ambush strategy against someone of his level, attacking without warning.

Such a loss of dignity!

Despite his inner comment, Jiang Chen’s reaction was swift. He utilized his Space-time Divine Ability consecutively, swiftly crossing within space-time. In an instant, he broke free from the engulfing demonic aura.

"Something’s not right, someone is trying to use the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign to test my strength."

Suddenly, Jiang Chen noticed the discrepancy. As the ruler of the Demonic Way and a significant adversary of the Mystic Sect, the Mystic Sect experts should have taken action immediately after his appearance to assist him in suppressing the Demon, instead of doing nothing.

Yet, so much time has passed, and there’s no sign of Mystic Sect experts’ intervention. It’s clear that someone is restraining the Mystic Sect experts from interfering in this matter.

Who could it be?

Jiang Chen did not know, but saints could not possibly do such a thing. It must be one of the Great Divine Transcendents who has restrained the Mystic Sect experts.

As for the motive of the Great Divine Transcendent, Jiang Chen could roughly guess. Probably, they want to use the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign to gauge his power.

As for why they would do such a thing, either they have grievances against him, the Human Race, or the Upper Qing Saints. There could only be these three reasons.

"What perfect timing."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help shaking his head. The mastermind behind the scenes was truly playing his cards right. He did restrain the Mystic Sect experts, but Jiang Chen was in no position to confront him because of it.

The reason is simple. Jiang Chen is also part of the Mystic Sect. With a mere statement like "I believe you are strong enough to defeat the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign alone. That’s why I restrained the others from the Mystic Sect to prevent them from upstaging you", they could easily dismiss Jiang Chen’s accusations.

This argument was perfectly reasonable. They didn’t let others to intervene in order to avoid stealing Jiang’s thunder, all for his own good.

How could you refute someone’s argument when they’re only looking out for you?

"Although I don’t know who you are, if you are so eager to gauge my strength, then I shall show it to you."

Now that he had become an Innate Saint, Jiang Chen thought he no longer had to hide his true strength. It was time to unleash it and let the world witness his power, thus instilling terror and deterrence in others, discouraging anyone from harboring ill intentions against him.

This time, Jiang Chen was determined to make a big splash, to unleash all his power, striving to take down the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign in the shortest time possible.

In doing so, everyone would certainly be astounded, and at the same time, they would be more perplexed about Jiang Chen’s true strength.

If Jiang Chen were to battle with the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign for days on end, gradually overpowering him after an extended battle, people would indeed be shocked, but they could also somewhat gauge Jiang Chen’s true strength.

However, if Jiang Chen appeared too powerful and defeated the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign directly, everyone would be overwhelmed with shock and completely unable to fathom his true strength.

His overwhelming strength, far beyond everyone’s expectations, leads to such a shock that they can barely believe this is Jiang Chen’s true strength, and it stirs up their suspicions and doubts.

Yes, that was Jiang Chen’s plan. He was ready to take everyone by surprise, taking down the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign with his overwhelming strength, deepening their doubts.

While he did reveal his strength, after watching him, they became even more puzzled. He had no concern about that anymore.

"Jiang Chen, surrender your body to me!"

As Jiang Chen contemplated, the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign emerged from his shadow, turned into a deep demonic mind, and surged into his body.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn’t dare to dawdle. He immediately activated the Merit Gold Wheel, casting an endless stream of golden light, repelling the demonic mind formed by the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign.

Jiang Chen didn’t believe the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign ignorant of the fact that the Ancient Martial Arts are immune to takeover. Yet still, the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign relentlessly tried to invade his Sea of Consciousness. This left Jiang Chen to wonder if he had a secret method that could bypass the Human Path Flood.

Although the probability was low, nothing is absolute. What if the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign had devised a divine power to crack the Human Path Flood?

You should know in this world, there are insolvable people, but not insolvable divine powers.

Therefore, no matter how the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign took action, Jiang Chen would never let his demonic mind rush into his Sea of Consciousness.

Hum hum hum...

The nine Merit Gold Wheels vibrated, casting a sky full of golden light, and annihilated all the demonic minds around Jiang Chen.

"Merit Gold Wheel, the supreme divine power passed down by the Tao Ancestors, who would have thought, Jiang Chen managed to refine this to such a realm, condensing nine Merit Gold Wheels. Such power, even the Innate Dao Sovereign, would struggle to break."

Someone exclaimed secretly at the sight of the Merit Gold Wheel behind Jiang Chen’s head. To practice this divine power isn’t difficult, but to yield results proves to be extremely challenging.

Because collecting merits is indeed quite difficult.

"Nine Merit Gold Wheels, such an abundance of merits. If Jiang Chen gets killed, even the Great Divine Transcendent might not be able to withstand the backlash."

Some looked at the Merit Gold Wheels behind Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with envy. The more merits one has, the more attention and care one gets from Heaven and Earth, and the harder it becomes for others to kill them.

Taking into account the merits Jiang Chen has accumulated, the chances of an ordinary Quasi-Saint dying from Heavenly Dao’s backlash after killing him are high. They would most likely join him in death.

...

"Merge with me and become a part of the Great Dao!"

It seemed to Jiang Chen that hundreds of voices were echoing in his ears simultaneously, shaking his mind, making it hard for him to concentrate.

At the same time, pitch-dark demonic aura erupted from the void engulfing Jiang Chen again.

Within this demonic aura, numerous figures of the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign materialized, each with a different demeanor, some crying, some laughing. They poured down on Jiang Chen like a blanket.

"Exterminate!" "Kill!" "Slaughter!" "Crush!" "End!" "Destroy!"...

Jiang Chen forced himself to focus and successively executed the Supreme Divine Power passed down from the Ancient Martial Arts. In an instant, countless Innate Dao runes surged out of his body, forming mysterious characters in the air and releasing tremendous and terrifying energy.

Boom!

Large chunks of the void began collapsing, along with the breakdown of time. Countless fragments flew about, and in just a short while, the space where Jiang Chen was standing annihilated completely, turning into a void.

When everything turned into nothingness, with the rushing demonic aura and the numerous figures of the Primeval Heavenly Demon Sovereign simultaneously destroyed, shattered by the intense power, the demonic sounds beside Jiang Chen’s ears vanished as well.

PS: I’m becoming more and more useless.
