Chapter 748: Crafting Demonic artifacts at 596!

The Three Realms were no longer the Prehistoric World of the past; battles among Quasi-Saint level powers could cause irrevocable damage to the Three Realms.

Even merely allowing the aftershocks of Jiang Chen’s clash with the Primordial Heavenly Demon to spread could leave Cang Mountain unharmed, but risk destruction for most of the Eastern Sea.

However potent the power of countless Heavenly Demons, they could not stand against the dire formations of the ancient world.

The Cycle of the Star Array, the Twelve Dutian God-killing Array, and the Immortal Slaying Array, were reckoned the three supreme formations in the prehistoric era and the only three formations that could pose a threat to Saints.

Being capable of threatening Saints was a testament to the terrifying power of these three formations. True, countless Heavenly Demons were formidable, but they were unable to pose a threat to Saints.

At this moment, Jiang Chen had fused the three prime formations of prehistoric times into one, forming a new supreme array, the power of which surpassed each of those three formations.

This power, incomparable in strength to the Primordial Heavenly Demon, augmented by his command of various divine artifacts, was certainly a Quasi-Saint contender.

With such power combined, Jiang Chen had long surpassed the Innate Dao Sovereign rank and entered the Quasi-Saint realm. He had walked far in this realm, and how could the Primordial Heavenly Demon compete with this?

Boom!

Jiang Chen’s fist clashed with the Primordial Heavenly Demon’s palm causing horrific power to burst forth, spreading along the arm of the Heavenly Demon, and shattering his body into fragments.

However, these fragments vanished like a dream bubble without leaving any traces.

It was a fake!

The Primordial Heavenly Demon who had been battling Jiang Chen was a facsimile, a mere manifestation condensed by the actual Heavenly Demon possessing only a ten-thousandth of his original power.

Boom!

After Jiang Chen’s punch shattered the manifestation of the Primordial Heavenly Demon, he continued to strike forward. Wherever he struck, space broke and laws shattered; the Great Dao disappeared, and all traces were erased.

Eventually, Jiang Chen’s punch hit the barrier set by the Great Divine Transcendents, causing ripples before gradually fading awayly.

Meanwhile, the real Primordial Heavenly Demon appeared in front of Jiang Chen. Suddenly, he disintegrated into millions of Demonic Qi, enveloped Jiang Chen and began drilling into his body.

"Haha, Jiang Chen, your body is mine now!"

The wicked laughter of the Primordial Heavenly Demon echoed in Jiang Chen’s ears.

However, contrary to the Demon’s expectations, Jiang Chen expressed joy rather than fear as the Demonic Qi entered his body, and laughed aloud:

"Heavenly Demon, you have fallen into my trap; this moment is what I’ve been waiting for."

What is the most powerful ability of the Innate Heaven and Earth Array? It’s the power to refine everything in the furnace of Heaven and Earth.

After being modified by Jiang Chen, the array still maintains its original function, but its power has been amplified several times. While saying it is on par with the Innate Treasure of Heaven and Earth might be overstating, it certainly doesn’t lag behind in profoundness.

At this moment, with his body as the array and himself as the furnace, Jiang Chen could refine everything. When the Primordial Heavenly Demon entered Jiang Chen’s body, wasn’t he walking down a dead-end?

Were it in the outside world, although the three great formations that Jiang Chen borrowed from were potent, they could not express the full power of this array.

But when the Primordial Heavenly Demon voluntarily entered Jiang Chen’s body, he would face the full power of the three grand formations.

As for an array, only by entering it could its full power be unleashed.

The Demon is a master manipulator of hearts and a dominating force in the Demonic Way. He disdains personal reputation and moral rules. As long as the result is satisfying to him, he would resort to any means necessary.

Thus, in his confrontation with Jiang Chen, the Demon would exploit his superiority without hesitation.

After understanding the true nature of the Demon, how could Jiang Chen believe that the latter would honestly fight against him?

Upon seeing Jiang Chen’s power reaching its peak, the clever Demon would definitely evade the blow, appear out of nowhere when Jiang Chen’s energy was exhausted, and catch him off guard.

What is the strongest weapon of the Demon? It’s the ability to enforce all other Laws, to absorb the Dao Fruit of others, and make it his own. In the final moment, the Demon would definitely enter Jiang Chen’s body and snatch his Dao Fruits.

Jiang Chen anticipated this, and hence, he drew the Demon in without releasing the full power of Innate Heaven and Earth Array’s refining ability, just so he could lure the Demon into his body and refine it.

...

......

The moment the Demon entered Jiang Chen’s body, he noticed something was wrong, for all he could see was boundless Heaven and Earth, nothing like a human body.

Stars shimmered above and mountains and forests sprawled below. Towering at the edges of heaven and earth, four colossal heavenly pillars stood, radiating an intimidating murderous aura.

Moreover, in the center of it all, the divine mountain of Zhou stood tall, exuding an overwhelming aura that suppressed the past, present, and future.

"This is bad!"

The scene before his eyes shocked the Primordial Heavenly Demon, sending chills down his spine. He screamed in shock, quickly turning to flee.

However, it was already too late.

Heaven and earth were suddenly closed off. The stars subtly transformed into a massive star array, while the evil energy on earth surged to form twelve horrifying figures.

As for the four heavenly pillars located at the peripherals, they transformed into four longswords, radiating a sword intent too familiar to the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

"The Demon Clan’s Weekly Star Array, Witch Clan’s Twelve Dutian God-killing Array, and my Demon Sect’s Immortal Slaying Sword Array!"

Recognizing the origins of these three formidable arrays before him, the Primordial Heavenly Demon fell into a great shock.

Each of the three arrays held the power to devastate everything around. Even the Innate Dao Sovereign might not withstand even one of them, let alone face all three at once.

Of course, what shocked the Primordial Heavenly Demon the most was that these three supreme arrays manifested together without conflict, coexisting harmoniously and combining to form an even more formidable array.

How could this be possible?

Each of the three arrays was powerful enough to threaten the Saints. How strong would a combination of them be? Could it kill the Saints?

"Jiang Chen, you win. You managed to combine the three great arrays of the Prehistoric World to form a stronger one. Your achievement in array formation surpasses that of your master, the Upper Qing Saint."

"You are now the unparalleled master of array formation in the Prehistoric World."

The Primordial Heavenly Demon knew he was finished. He was confident that he could break any single array, but the combination of the three was already beyond his understanding. He didn’t have the slightest clue where to start or how to break it.

Breaking it using brute force? That seemed even more impossible. The Primordial Heavenly Demon could feel the law of heaven and earth in the array, perfectly integrated, drawing strength from the Great Chaos. It was something he simply couldn’t contend with.

If his main spirit had come here, despite the array’s power, he could have shattered it effortlessly. However, this clone of his wasn’t capable of doing so, no matter what methods he employed.

"Heavenly Demon, it’s time for you to depart!"

Jiang Chen’s voice echoed from all directions, sounding in the ears of the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

The moment his voice fell, the power of heaven and earth surged out, rolling towards the Primordial Heavenly Demon, determined to refine him alive.

Today, Jiang Chen was going to refine the demon to attain Dao!

Who was the Primordial Heavenly Demon? Even though the one before him was just a clone, it still contained the perfect realm of the Dao Sovereign. If Jiang Chen could refine him, he would be not far off becoming an Innate Dao Sovereign.

"Jiang Chen, you might have won this time, but I will not allow you to get away unscathed. Heavenly Demon self-destruction, explode!"

Seeing the power of heaven and earth approaching, the Primordial Heavenly Demon let out a wild laughter and used the traditional technique of the Demon Sect to self-destruct.

The destruction of a clone at the Dao Sovereign level was a significant loss to the Primordial Heavenly Demon. Yet at this moment, he had no other choice but to self-destruct.

Whether he self-destructed or not, he would die anyway. If he could take his enemy down with him, that would be a big win. Even if he could not destroy the enemy, making things difficult for him would suffice.

Boom!

The Primordial Heavenly Demon’s body exploded within Jiang Chen, transforming into numerous strands of pitch-black demonic energy that surged in all directions, intending to annihilate everything in sight.

Jiang Chen had anticipated this, simultaneously drawing upon the power of the boundless starry sky and the strength of the earth to shield his body.

Self-destruction was a traditional technique of the Demon Sect. How could Jiang Chen not be prepared for it while dealing with the Primordial Heavenly Demon?

Whoosh...

The stars within Jiang Chen’s body were even more dazzling, and the earth seemed thicker, both releasing immense pressure, firmly suppressing the explosive force generated by the self-destruction of the Primordial Heavenly Demon.
