Chapter 143: Chapter 143: It Really Is Him!
"Scram!"
The Demon Crown Prince shouted fiercely, being relentlessly pressured by Ji Chen. He was evidently getting anxious and continuously unleashed terrifying attacks in an attempt to completely isolate Ji Chen.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
However, Ji Chen forged ahead valiantly, stepping forward, each punch easily neutralizing the Demon Crown Prince’s assaults.
Behind him, the Stellar Phenomenon radiated brilliant light, akin to the flow of the grand Dao within, continuously weakening the Demon Crown Prince’s attacks.
"Once in close combat, the Hongmeng Body’s victory will be greatly assured!"
Everyone was watching the scene unfolding in the sky, and many cultivators of the Human Race couldn’t help but feel excited inside.
Should Ji Chen truly defeat the Demon Crown Prince with his cultivation at the Seventh Layer of the Returning Ruins Realm today, one can hardly imagine what terrifying achievements such a genius might accomplish in the future.
"With a thought, the Hongmeng brings forth the stars, beneath the sky, I reign supreme!"
Ji Chen stepped forward vigorously, with the stellar phenomenon behind him radiating a brilliant divine light as an incessant stream of star power enhanced him.
"Buzz!"
The space trembled, as if the invisible might had begun to boil, Ji Chen pressed forward, throwing a punch into the air.
The Immortal Fist Aura shone brightly, illuminating the whole mortal realm.
In front of all eyes, the golden fist light descended, shattering the space, fiercely bearing down on the Demon Crown Prince.
Everyone held their breath, feeling the fearsome might of Ji Chen’s punch, its power completely beyond imagination.
"Destroy!"
The Demon Crown Prince’s expression changed drastically, now only less than thirty feet away from Ji Chen.
At this distance, the attack strength of the Hongmeng Body clearly posed a significant threat to him.
With a fierce shout, he hesitated no longer. Black light flashed, followed by an overwhelming holy power enveloping the entire scene.
"Screech!"
A sharp and frightful aura permeated the area, as if an ancient Great Demon awoke at this moment.
The next moment, a black iron halberd appeared in the Demon Crown Prince’s hand, its blade radiating black light, stinging one’s eyes.
"Bang!"
He stabbed out with the halberd forcefully, directly extinguishing the golden fist seal Ji Chen had struck out.
"Hmm?"
"Ancestral King-level Weapon!"
In Yao City, many people’s expressions changed, their brows furrowing.
The so-called Ancestral King’s Weapon is akin to the Human Race’s Holy Weapon, a type of Saint Artifact. Unexpectedly, the Demon Crown Prince was pressured by Ji Chen to this point, resorting to the demon race’s Holy Weapon.
"Relying on external power is no true ability."
"The dignified Crown Prince of the demon race, with a cultivation of the Sixth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm, is resorting to an Ancestral King’s Weapon to bully a Returning Ruins Realm cultivator without any weapons?"
In Yao City, many Human Race cultivators couldn’t help but voice these words.
Evidently, the battle had initially tilted in Ji Chen’s favor, but now, with the Demon Crown Prince wielding the Holy Weapon, the outcome of the fight shifted once again.
"Holy Weapons are also a form of strength, by your logic, what are martial techniques?" replied a cultivator from the Ancient Race.
Yet, despite these words, the fact remained that the Demon Crown Prince, with his Sixth Layer Celestial Essence Realm cultivation, was forced to use the Holy Weapon while fighting Ji Chen, which was indeed quite astonishing.
"In the world today, among the younger generation, you are the first to force me to this extent."
In the void above, the Demon Crown Prince stood with the halberd, his entire being exuding an amazing aura.
The Ancestral King’s Weapon, being a Saint Artifact-level Magical Treasure, possesses immense power, able to easily overturn entire domains.
Now, the Demon Crown Prince holds the Holy Weapon, almost standing in an invincible position.
"The Holy Weapon..."
Ji Chen squinted, his face showing a hint of seriousness.
He clearly understood the tremendous fearsome nature of the Holy Weapon, not daring to underestimate it in the slightest.
"I mentioned before, after cutting down my Dao Body, the Crown Prince will personally come to Beiyou to kill you!"
Under the gaze of everyone, the Demon Crown Prince coldly snorted, and as his words fell, a gleam flashed in his eyes, revealing an undisguised killing intent.
"Buzz!"
Black light flashed as the Holy Halberd stabbed out, seemingly piercing through the sky.
A beam of black light, like the Death God’s Scythe, tore open the void, carrying a terrifying momentum capable of annihilating all living creatures, rushing fiercely towards Ji Chen.
"Destroy!"
Ji Chen raised his head and roared fiercely, with sacred brilliance surging all over him. Behind him, in the Starry Sky Law, the stars trembled together, and vast Power of the Stars permeated down, wholly enhancing him.
The illusion of the Spiritual Sea was finally manifested, with its nine Spirit Veins roaring like nine True Dragons, the rumbling echoes reverberating across heaven and earth.
"Nine Spirit Veins!"
"Ji Chen! It must be him! Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many coincidences!"
In Yao City, expressions of extreme astonishment surfaced on everyone’s faces, their gaze somewhat dazed, as they looked at the illusion of the Spiritual Sea behind Ji Chen.
At this moment, he carried the Stellar Phenomenon, empowered by the nine Spirit Veins, and was bathed in a brilliant Immortal Light, resembling a deity descending upon the mortal realm.
"Boom!"
A tightly clenched fist raged upward, shaking towards the Demon Crown Prince above.
Explosion erupts, reminiscent of a collision between heaven and earth, with boundless energy surging, the earth trembling at this moment, the entire Yao City quaking incessantly.
"Bang!"
A blinding light engulfed the entire world. When the light receded, everyone could finally see, in this collision, Ji Chen was sent retreating dozens of steps.
"Still too forceful. Despite having the Hongmeng Body, at this moment, the Demon Crown Prince possesses an Ancestral King’s Weapon," someone muttered, frowning simultaneously.
Evidently, in this encounter, Ji Chen clearly fell into a disadvantage.
The Holy Weapon is still too strong, easily able to destroy an entire domain. Under heaven, aside from Saints, almost no one dares claim to withstand an attack from a Holy Weapon, not even the Hongmeng Body can easily achieve that.
It’s not that the Hongmeng Body isn’t strong enough, rather, Ji Chen’s strength is still too low. As his cultivation grows, the strength of his physique will naturally enhance.
To shake a Holy Weapon, it’s far from enough with his current strength!
"Sigh..."
Under the gaze of the entire city, Ji Chen took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
At the same time, his appearance also underwent a change, reverting to his original form.
"It really is him!"
"Ji Chen! He didn’t die? He survived the Immortal Burial Forest!"
Upon seeing Ji Chen clearly, the whole city erupted in an uproar, everyone’s face showing an expression of disbelief.
Who would have thought, the genius who emerged into the world four years ago, plagued by injuries from the grand Dao, should have fallen to the world, turning into a speck of dust in history, but he didn’t die as the world said in the Immortal Burial Forest, instead miraculously survived!
Moreover, possessing nine Spirit Veins, upon return, he also carried the unparalleled Hongmeng Body.
It’s hard to imagine, such a genius, once fully matured, how terrifying his future accomplishments would be?
