Chapter 980: 718 Decisive Battle (Speechless, this Chapter was posted to the wrong book)_2

He was extremely confident in his Divine Ability because it was indeed very powerful, even Great Divine Transcendents couldn’t break it. Jiang Chen had only cultivated for a few years, his strength comparable to a Quasi-Saint at full circle was already the limit, how could he become any stronger?

However, the appearance of the Heaven-Opening Axe shattered Huang Jiao’s confidence. That was the Heaven-Opening Axe, a divine artifact capable of opening the heavens, capable of splitting even Chaos. His Divine Ability might be strong, but how could it withstand the edge of the Heaven-Opening Axe?

Swoosh...

Jiang Chen lifted the Heaven-Opening Axe and charged directly towards Huang Jiao, bringing it down towards his head.

Because of the Dao Mirror, Jiang Chen had a profound understanding of the Chaos Pearl and the Pangu Axe, and he could use them in the form of Divine Ability to exhibit their powers.

This time, when Huang Jiao used the Central Immutable Divine Light, Jiang Chen believed that ordinary methods would not be able to break it, so he directly employed the Pangu Axe Divine Ability.

As Jiang Chen made his move, the Dao Mirror within his body trembled gently, gushing out a formidable power, surging towards the phantom of the Pangu Axe, making its power grow stronger and stronger.

With just the power of Jiang Chen alone, perhaps he couldn’t break the Central Immutable Divine Light, but with the Dao Mirror, he definitely could.

"Not good!"

Seeing the Pangu Axe getting closer and closer, Huang Jiao’s eyebrows twitched violently, and a huge sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

Knowing that he could not withstand Jiang Chen’s strike, Huang Jiao dared not hesitate and immediately used his trump card.

"Heaven and Earth Fate, all be added unto me!"

An ancient divine language rose from Huang Jiao’s mouth and in an instant, an immense Fate surged from the depths of the void, pouring into his body and elevating his realm to the domain of Great Divine Transcendents in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, the might of the Central Immutable Divine Light surged, and as Jiang Chen’s axe came down, the axe light collided with the divine light, immediately unleashing a formidable force that sent him flying backward.

The Central Immutable Divine Light at the full circle of Quasi-Saint level, Jiang Chen could break through, but the one at the Great Divine Transcendent level, he could not.

"Dao Fruit, huh?"

Stepping back several steps in the void, Jiang Chen steadied himself and gazed at Huang Jiao with a grave expression.

The power Huang Jiao had just used came from the Dao Fruit, and only the Dao Fruit could boost his strength by a level in an instant.

In this world, it wasn’t only Jiang Chen who had a Dao Fruit, Huang Jiao had one too, a Dao Fruit from the Heavenly Court.

One of the Five Elders of the Heavenly Court, Central Yellow Extreme Huang Jiao, it wasn’t just a simple title but a revered position, signifying that he had gained Heaven and Earth’s recognition and could mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth.

The Five Elders, that is, five Dao Fruits, are among the respected ranks of Heaven and Earth, not inferior to the Human King. The Tiandi sits on high as the supreme Dao Fruit. Next are the Four Royals’ Dao Fruits, and the Human Emperor is esteemed equally with the Four Royals.

The Five Elders positioned below the Four Royals, and the Human King positioned below the Human Emperor, from this it can be seen that these are two equivalent Dao Fruits.

The Mystic Sect chose Huang Jiao for this plan because apart from his strength, the simplest reason was that he was the most suitable. There was no one more suitable in the entire Mystic Sect.

Because he possesses the Dao Fruit of the Five Elders and already holds a high position, he could accommodate the Emperor’s Qi to the greatest extent. To wear the crown, one must bear its weight; if the rank isn’t high enough, how can it carry the Emperor’s Qi?

To make an ordinary person a king would be to harm him, as his civil and military officials would not obey him, and wouldn’t let him live for long.

Where virtue does not match position, calamity follows!

Huang Jiao, one of the Five Elders of the Heavenly Court, held a rank equivalent to the Human King. By reincarnating as the Human King, he would be most easily accepted by the Human Race’s Fate, as this would not disgrace the Human King.

If someone else were to do it, lacking the proper rank, trying to gain the recognition of the Human Race’s Fate would be another big problem.

"Great Immortal, have you asked for the Jade Emperor’s consent to use the Heavenly Court’s Dao Fruit against the Human Race? If you acted without permission, are you prepared to face the Jade Emperor’s wrath?" Jiang Chen suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

Huang Jiao acting against the Human Race on his own was his personal matter and had nothing to do with the Heavenly Court, but once he used the Dao Fruit, the nature of the matter changed, drawing the Heavenly Court into the affair.

Now, two paths lay before the Jade Emperor: one was to be dragged by Huang Jiao into conflict with the Human Race. The other was to severely punish Huang Jiao, to make clear the separation between the Heavenly Court and this matter.

"After this matter, I will ascend to heaven and resign from the Five Elders in front of the Jade Emperor," Huang Jiao said indifferently, his expression unwavering. It was obvious that before he made a move, he had already made up his mind. Resigning from the Five Elders was his way of explaining to the Jade Emperor.

Having gone this far, even if the Jade Emperor felt anger, it wouldn’t be appropriate to lash out, and he might even need to speak soothingly to Huang Jiao.

"It seems that you’ve made up your mind to be an enemy of our Human Race," Jiang Chen’s tone started to turn unfriendly.

"To achieve the Tao, I have no choice but to do this," Huang Jiao replied, his expression unchanged. Once someone of his realm made a decision, it would not waver in the face of others’ words.

"Young friend, now that I have used the power of the Dao Fruit, my strength is comparable to a Great Divine Transcendent, you are not my match. Out of respect for Brother Shangqing, I prefer not to harm you, you should retreat now," Huang Jiao said, his power transformed so drastically compared to before, that he had the right to speak to Jiang Chen in such a manner. Without the power of the Cycle Divine Palace, a Great Divine Transcendent had the power to overpower him.
