Chapter 912: 690 twists and turns_2

Looking at the river before him, shimmering with ghostly shadows, Jiang Chen’s eyes were filled with doubt. The Nine Abysses Weak Water originated from the Netherworld; to transform it into a Divine Ability, one must reside in the Netherworld for many years, comprehending it beside this very river.

However, since the birth of the Netherworld, this place had always been the territory of the Witch Clan, forbidding the Demon Clan from entering. If this mysterious powerhouse were truly related to the Netherworld, he shouldn’t be aiding the Demon Clan at all.

"Want to compete with me in Divine Abilities?"

"Boring!"

After these few exchanges, Jiang Chen had confirmed that the opponent’s comprehension of Divine Abilities far surpassed his own. If they continued to fight, he might not lose, but he could end up in quite the disheveled state.

Therefore, Jiang Chen gave up on competing in Divine Abilities with this mysterious powerhouse. Instead, he brandished the rainbow longsword formed from the Heavenly Dao hairpin and slashed at him from afar.

Without a doubt, the true self of this mysterious powerhouse was a Great Divine Transcendent, whose hands were certainly not lacking in powerful Innate Spiritual Treasures.

But so what?

This mysterious fighter had changed his appearance to come here, clearly not wishing to reveal his identity. Thus, no matter how strong his Magic Treasures were, he couldn’t possibly use them here and risk exposing himself.

Divine Abilities can be disguised, origins can be changed, but Innate Spiritual Treasures are unique. Once used, his identity would be impossible to conceal.

And this was Jiang Chen’s advantage. He could utilize top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures, whereas his opponent could not.

The dazzling rainbow sword light burst forth, carrying the majesty of heaven as it cleaved the Nine Abysses Weak Water that stretched between Heaven and Earth right down the middle.

At the same time, the Innate Four Symbols Array manifested, merging with the constellations, causing the might of this Divine Ability to skyrocket suddenly. Just as the mysterious powerhouse was about to break out from the constellations, he was blasted back into place.

As Jiang Chen wielded the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly. The mysterious powerhouse was completely overwhelmed and suppressed by Jiang Chen.

Just as Jiang Chen had speculated, this mysterious powerhouse didn’t utilize any Innate Spiritual Treasures. Instead, he displayed various powerful Demonic Way Divine Abilities, challenging the Innate Spiritual Treasure in Jiang Chen’s hands.

"Hss, this person’s Divine Abilities are so strong, clearly pursuing the path of proving the Dao through Divine Abilities, looking to clash with the heaven’s mandate with sheer power. Such a person cannot be an unnamed nobody; he must have a resounding name in Between Heaven and Earth."

"Who on earth is this person?"

Jiang Chen was shocked by this person’s Divine Abilities; each one was unusually strong, causing the Heavenly Dao hairpin to tremble incessantly.

With each display of this mysterious powerhouse’s abilities, Jiang Chen’s curiosity about his identity only grew. Although there were many experts in the Prehistoric World, there were few capable of such feats.

Ah~~~

Just as Jiang Chen pondered this person’s identity, a terrible scream suddenly came from the distance—it was a Demon God who could not withstand Jiang Chen’s shadow and was shaken to death by the latter’s Patch Heaven Seal.

"Trash!"

Seeing this, the mysterious powerhouse experienced emotional fluctuations for the first time, cursing those Demon Gods as trash in secret. He nearly intervened to rescue them, but he was firmly entangled by Jiang Chen and had no strength to leave the constellation, being confined within it.

"Demon Lord, let us assist you with our strength!"

Above the Beijulu Continent, Dao Monarchs of the Demon Clan roared furiously, suddenly sacrificing themselves and transforming into powerful forces that poured into the bodies of the Demon Gods, beginning to repair their injuries.

These Dao Monarchs of the Demon Clan, sensing their doom, knew they could not escape death. They chose to sacrifice themselves directly, benefiting the Demon Gods, to boost their power and help them flee this place.

"Seeking death!"

Jiang Chen snorted coldly, and finding an opportunity, he flicked his hand and slashed out with his sword. The brilliant sword light burst forth, slicing through the void and splitting it into two completely disconnected worlds.

In an instant, the connection between these Dao Monarchs of the Demon Clan on the ground and the Demon Gods was severed, making the sacrifice technique impossible to perform anymore.

"Kill!"

With one hand, Jiang Chen operated the Innate Four Symbols Array, exerting all his strength to refine that mysterious powerhouse, while with the other hand, he raised the Heavenly Dao hairpin and slashed towards the group of Demon Gods, ready to end them with a single strike.

But just at that moment, an unexpected change occurred. The mysterious powerhouse, trapped by Jiang Chen, had his strength surge a thousandfold in an instant.

With a booming sound, the mysterious powerful being threw a punch, and the phantom of myriad beasts roared. A surge of formidable power burst forth, directly shattering the Cycle Star Array that trapped him. The phantom of myriad dragons also shattered at this moment, and the Innate Four Symbols Array disintegrated, blown apart by this overwhelming force.

"What?"

The sudden turn of events was completely unexpected by Jiang Chen, forcing him to abandon his plan to slay the group of demon gods and, instead, swing his long sword to fully contend against this mysterious being.

Boom!

With one step forward, the mysterious being caused Heaven and Earth to roar as if unable to withstand his power, seemingly on the verge of shattering.

"This power..."

Jiang Chen felt a chill in his heart, this power was too terrifying, faintly beyond his comprehension, and incredibly close to that of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

The mysterious powerful being, silent, moved forward indifferently, his supreme aura erupting out wildly, turning the surrounding void into fine powder.

Then, he clenched his fist, gathering the force of Heaven and Earth into himself, and suddenly struck out at Jiang Chen.

"How is this possible..."

The familiar sensation came again, and before Jiang Chen could react, his body exploded violently. The Small Cycle Star Array disintegrated at this moment, and the figures of 108 Innate Dao Sovereigns from the Human Race flew out from within him, plummeting heavily into the void, all injured.

With just one punch, this mysterious being had managed to disintegrate the Small Cycle Star Array and severely wounded powerful beings of the Human Race. His strength was even more formidable than Taiyi before, truly reaching the level of Primordial.

This was a strike that transcended time and space; that’s why Jiang Chen had no way to avoid it and was struck directly.

Forcefully suppressing the injuries in his body, Jiang Chen looked up at the mysterious powerful being.

His aura was rapidly declining, plummeting from the level of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, to the level of an ordinary Quasi-Saint, and even fell short of that, his whole presence becoming listless.

Clearly, to unleash a power comparable to a Primordial strike, this mysterious being had paid a great price, suffering injuries even greater than those sustained by Jiang Chen and others, a true case of injuring the enemy by eight thousand and self-harming by ten thousand.

"Was it worth it for the Demon Clan? Who are you exactly?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice, his gaze filled with incomprehension as he looked at this mysterious being.

However, the mysterious being did not answer Jiang Chen’s question, but instead glanced in the direction where the demon gods were, saying to them, "Run!"

As the voice dropped, his body suddenly shattered, dissolving into countless points of light that faded away, leaving not a single trace behind.

An external incarnation! An external body incarnation!

Such a powerful expert was actually just an external incarnation, not the original body.

Now Jiang Chen understood it all; no wonder the other party had such a desperate stance for the Demon Clan. It wasn’t the original body but an incarnation, and even in death, it meant little.

Even if captured, there was nothing to worry about; the incarnation would disintegrate at any time, not revealing the true identity.

Swish~~

The light of the Dao Mirror was receding, and Jiang Chen’s hundreds of shadows, one after another, began to disappear, quickly fading away entirely.

The Small Cycle Star Array was broken, and he himself had sustained heavy injuries, such that Jiang Chen no longer had the strength to stimulate the Dao Mirror, causing his power to decline rapidly.

"Go!"

Knowing this was a rare chance, the demon gods did not intend to counterattack when Jiang Chen and the others were heavily injured. After exchanging glances, they rushed toward the outer Chaos of Heaven.

Nowadays, even escaping to All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds might not be safe for them, only by fleeing to the outer Chaos could they find a path to survival. Escaping into the outer Chaos was like a dragon entering the sea; even Great Divine Transcendents would struggle to find them.

"Hmph, escape? If I let you escape today, what dignity would I, Jiang Chen, have left to stand Between Heaven and Earth?"

If he let these demon gods escape, then his plan to attack the Demon Clan would be deemed a failure. How could Jiang Chen allow such a thing to happen?

He unveiled a scroll of bamboo slips, each radiating with a pale azure light.
