Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Facing the Crown Prince of the Demon Clan
Ji Chen’s voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone within the city.
The atmosphere throughout the scene grew tense once more.
Though the two hadn’t yet exchanged blows, the clash of their auras already made many feel a chill in their hearts.
"Buzz!"
Under the watchful eyes of all, the Demon Crown Prince stepped forward, causing the entire void to seem as if it was boiling over.
Seeing such a scene, Gu Hao from the Celestial Human Garden furrowed his brows and stepped forward, unable to help questioning, "Why aren’t you suppressing your cultivation?"
"This man destroyed one of my Dao Bodies. I once said I’d kill him with my own hands; why should I suppress my cultivation?" The Demon Crown Prince replied sternly.
His words caused many human cultivators in the city to furrow their brows uncontrollably.
Ji Chen is undeniably strong, possessing the Hongmeng Body that can dominate within the same realm.
Coupled with that unique Law Phenomenon, it’s no exaggeration to say that no one can be his equal in the same realm.
Clearly, the Demon Crown Prince is aware of this, which is why he doesn’t plan to suppress his cultivation, but rather face Ji Chen with full force!
However, if that’s the case, then Ji Chen is at a significant disadvantage.
After all, in the end, he is only at the Returning Ruins Realm Seventh Layer. With various trump cards and techniques, he might defeat typical Celestial Essence Realm First or Second Layer experts. But against someone like the Demon Crown Prince, Ji Chen’s chances of winning are greatly diminished, or perhaps nonexistent.
"What? Are you scared?"
Amidst the city’s discussions, the Demon Crown Prince paid no mind, turning his gaze toward Ji Chen and sneering, "If you’re scared, kneel down and bow to me thrice. Maybe I’ll spare your life."
"Buzz..."
Ji Chen said nothing, merely snorting. He had long anticipated the Demon Crown Prince would behave in such a manner.
Holy Light shone brightly around him, reaching a dazzling extreme. Star Power cascaded down from the Star Sea behind him, enveloping Ji Chen and causing his aura to surge wildly.
"Swoosh!"
At a certain moment, when his momentum reached a critical point, Ji Chen finally made his move.
He pointed toward the distant Demon Crown Prince, merging the power of the Sword Law. With the augmentation of Star Power, the might reached an unprecedented level, causing many Celestial Essence Realm level experts in the city to change their expressions involuntarily.
"The light of a firefly dares vie with the brilliance of the full moon?"
The Demon Crown Prince stood in mid-air, face full of arrogance, a purple demon mist swirling around him. As his words dropped, a purple Demon Blade appeared and fiercely slashed forward.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
A loud bang erupted, surging energy spread out into the surrounding void.
In the collision, both the finger light and Demon Blade shattered, neither gaining the upper hand.
"You’re indeed strong; in the same realm, I might not defeat you, but now, in my hands, you have no chance of winning."
As his words fell, the purple demon mist around the Demon Crown Prince seemed to grow even denser.
"Buzz!"
Before everyone’s eyes, the demon mist gathered, forming a terrifying void hand that, with an immensely shocking aura, pressed down toward Ji Chen.
The purple hand blotted out the sky, like a towering mountain, suppressing this world.
"Extinguish!"
Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, not daring to underestimate it. He could sense that the Demon Crown Prince’s cultivation had reached at least the Celestial Essence Realm Sixth Layer.
Faced with such a massive disparity in cultivation, he must go all out; any slight misstep would be catastrophic.
"Boom!"
With a long howl, Ji Chen clenched his fist tightly as he charged forward.
Holy Light encircled him, bathing him, making him appear as a celestial god descending upon the earth.
"Boom!"
With the Hongmeng Body fully unleashed, a terrifying Fist Seal erupted. In an instant, it clashed with the descending purple hand.
The tremendous sound shook the heavens, causing the entire void to seem like it was shuddering.
The overwhelming force surged forth, and the energy’s aftershocks could easily annihilate any cultivators of the Celestial Essence Realm Second or Third Layer.
The Fist Seal shattered, the void hand obliterated, yet neither managed to overpower the other.
"No wonder it’s the Hongmeng Body, able to continuously withstand the Demon Crown Prince’s attacks!"
"Is he really only at the Returning Ruins Realm Seventh Layer? The Demon Crown Prince has reached the Celestial Essence Realm Sixth Layer!"
"It’s hard to imagine that despite such a huge gap, how can this man rival the Demon Crown Prince?"
No one could suppress the surprise; all were startled by Ji Chen’s strength.
Had it been an ordinary Returning Ruins Realm Seventh Layer expert, faced with such a vast strength difference, they’d not resist; they would be obliterated in an instant.
"If he wants to defeat the Demon Crown Prince, there’s only one possibility—to engage in close combat, relying on the tremendous advantage the Hongmeng Body brings to suppress the Demon Crown Prince."
"But the Demon Crown Prince clearly knows this too; with such a massive strength gap, getting close to him isn’t that easy." An elder said.
"Inquiry Immortal Seal!"
Meanwhile, the battle continued high in the sky.
Ji Chen’s hand thrust forward, pressing down into the void.
The Void Seal emerged; it was a Middle-Level Earth Tier Martial Technique and one of the strongest Ji Chen currently mastered.
With no reservations, his nine Spirit Veins activated, pouring Spiritual Power unceasingly into the attack.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Space trembled, seemingly unable to withstand the presence of the Void Seal, issuing cries of lament.
"Such powerful aura!"
"Such a blow definitely reached Middle-Level Earth Tier!" An elder exclaimed.
It’s worth noting, at this level of martial technique, throughout Beiyou, only places like Kunlun, Taixu, and a few Sacred Lands or families of Ancient Emperors could wield such power.
Who is this person?
Since he appeared, none in the city have been able to identify him, suggesting he likely doesn’t belong to a Sacred Land or Ancient Emperor family.
"Something’s odd..."
"Even for a Middle-Level Earth Tier Martial Technique, it shouldn’t possess this kind of power, almost comparable to ordinary Celestial Rank Low Level."
"Such tremendous Spiritual Power, the purity exceeding imagination; it indicates this person’s Spirit Veins are surely no less than five!"
In Yao City, many elder experts were observing the battle, clearly able to see more than others.
