Chapter 961: 710 Promotion

"It seems that the Human King’s injuries are severe, forcing Jiang Xuan to seek medicine at the Human Race’s Holy Land." Thinking of Jiang Chen, the great powers roughly understood what was happening.

"The Human King’s injuries—could they really be that serious, or is he feigning them? We all understand what the Human King is like; ’sly and crafty’ doesn’t even begin to describe him. Despite his young age, his ability to scheme against others is nothing short of impressive."

Some great powers suspected that Jiang Chen’s injuries were feigned, although he hadn’t spotted any flaws himself, but he remained suspicious.

Indeed, the impression Jiang Chen had left on him was too profound, too deviously cunning, making it hard not to harbor doubts.

"That makes sense. With the Human King’s character, even if he were truly injured, he wouldn’t show it, let alone let us discover it. Now that he appears gravely wounded and on his deathbed, it may very well be an act."

In the shadows, some great powers nodded, also thinking that Jiang Chen was putting on an act. However, their doubts were quickly drowned out.

"It can’t be fake—the Human King’s injuries are severe; that’s the power of the Ruined Land’s endpoint. It’s impossible to fake such a thing. Even Great Divine Transcendents, if they were to be touched by such power, would be severely injured, not to mention the Human King with his cultivation level."

"Such injuries, they cannot be pretended. If he really feigned his injuries, there would be no reason to draw the power of the Ruined Land into his body; the cost would be too great."

Some recognized the origin of the power of the Ruined Land, and they all agreed that Jiang Chen’s injuries couldn’t be fake. Furthermore, it was one thing for a person not to notice any flaws, but with so many failing to spot any, it was almost proof that he wasn’t pretending.

"The power of the Ruined Land, this is one of the few forces in Heaven and Earth that can truly kill an Innate Dao Sovereign. Do you think it’s possible for Jiang Chen to risk his life just to scheme against others?"

A great power expressed his reflections, his tone full of apprehension. He was more familiar with the terror of the Ruined Land’s power than many present since his close friend had perished within it.

That was a Quasi-Saint powerhouse who had fallen in the Ruined Land, completely obliterated, leaving nothing behind.

Hearing this, the great powers fell silent. The promise of immortality was the capital with which Innate Dao Sovereigns roamed freely between Heaven and Earth. Because they knew they wouldn’t die, they were unguarded. But when this ability was no longer available, even an Innate Dao Sovereign would fear.

The longer one lived, the greater the fear of death.

They asked themselves, were their grudges with Jiang Chen worth risking his life over? Clearly, they were not. If they knew Jiang Chen had the power to completely obliterate them, they would never have become his enemies.

The voices of discussion in the void gradually faded away, and the great powers retracted their Divine Thoughts, plotting something unknown.

Boom!

Just then, the fate of the Human Race shook violently, descending from the River of Destiny, stirring up thousands of clouds, pouring mightily into the Human Race’s Ancestral Land.

"Using the fate of the Human Race? Jiang Chen must be truly injured. He’s not concealing it because his injuries are so serious, they’re a threat to his very foundation, to the point where he’s powerless to hide them and can only flee back to the Human Race in haste."

A Great Divine Transcendent spoke up, confirming Jiang Chen’s injuries. The fact that he had used the fate of the Human Race to heal showed the severity of his injuries.

...

The fate of the Human Race was indeed summoned by Jiang Chen. His injuries were too serious and were getting worse. The two Dao Fruits were gradually becoming less suppressible. He had no choice but to use the fate of the Human Race to subdue the injuries within his body.

"Indeed, nothing related to the Chaos Demigod is simple." Just now, the arm of the Demon God suppressed in his Sea of Consciousness burst forth once again, exacerbating Jiang Chen’s injuries.

The Chaos Demigod, such a noble being, even in demise, still retained infinite divine might, not something an Innate Dao Sovereign could desecrate. Even though Jiang Chen had acquired his arm, he was unable to subdue it in a short time. He could only use the lengthy passage of time to gradually weaken its power.

"I must find time to completely seal this Demon God’s arm; otherwise, its influence on me is too great."

Jiang Chen frowned, aware that the existence of the Demon God’s arm was like a ticking time bomb for him.

If it were a normal time, even if the Demon God’s arm acted up, Jiang Chen could suppress it promptly.

But if during a great battle, the Demon God’s arm were to suddenly erupt, the impact would be significant. It might even bring fatal danger to Jiang Chen.

"The Demon God’s arm—it’s both an opportunity and a calamity. This is what they mean by fortune and disaster coming hand in hand."

Whether it’s an opportunity or a calamity can change in an instant. Used well, it’s an opportunity; used poorly, it’s a calamity. The Demon God’s arm isn’t something easily taken.

"Jiang Chen, are you okay?"

Before long, Jiang Xuan hurried back, approached Jiang Chen, and asked with full concern.

"Ancestor, your speed is that fast?" Jiang Chen was somewhat shocked by Jiang Xuan’s velocity and asked in confusion.

Under normal circumstances, even with Jiang Xuan’s strength, a return trip from Fire Cloud Cave wouldn’t be so swift. It was the Emperor himself who had sent him back, enabling him to return in a very short amount of time.

Originally, Jiang Xuan was in the Fire Cloud Cave reporting Jiang Chen’s condition to the three Emperors and conveying his request. But when Jiang Chen suddenly channeled the fate of the Human Race, even the Three Emperors were alerted.

The Flame Emperor directly gave the Innate All-Encompassing Pearl to Jiang Xuan, instructing him to bring it to Jiang Chen. It was then that the Heavenly Emperor used his supreme divine ability to transport him back.

"Your Majesty’s concern is appreciated." After listening to Jiang Xuan’s explanation, Jiang Chen felt somewhat embarrassed; he hadn’t expected that such an incident would alarm all three Emperors.
