The spatial channel closed rapidly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Below, the terrain that was once flat had morphed into a massive crater, large enough to become an ocean if filled with water.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had returned to his human form from his dragon-human hybrid state and lay pallidly on a protruding boulder....
"No!!" A scream of despair resonated within the hearts of Lu Yang and his four companions.
Mo Hao was frantically calling out in his mind as well. Just think—five Transcendence realm cultivators! Imagine the number of Pretentious Points he could have earned had he continued his ostentatious display.
Just then, a powerful atta...
At that moment, Lu Yang's eyes shimmered as he communicated through divine sense, whispering to the cultivators around him, "Fellow brothers, I'm aware that many of you harbor grudges against this scum, Mo Hao, and loathe him to your very core."
"However, now is not the time to take action against him; I'm sure you all comprehend our ...
"Do you want to go to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star?" Mo Hao asked, a tone of understanding filling his voice. "It makes sense. After all, there's nothing here. If you want to continue cultivating, you'd definitely need to go somewhere with more resources."
"As for reaching the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, it might not be so e...
Just then, enlightenment dawned on Mo Hao's face. "You're the one who was watching me when I entered the city!"
"Heh, quite the smooth talker, aren't you?" He asked, his expression turning gloomy. "With all the injustices plaguing Glorious Obsidian City, why haven't you acted? The Immortal Martial Continent faces a demon invasion; hav...
'What?' Jiang Chen mused, a spark igniting in his eyes. 'The system can evolve Villain's Eye when it reaches Level 3? Not bad!'
'The system chooses this moment to remind me. Once the evolution is complete, I should be able to uncover the protagonist's heaven-defying trump card.' A slight smile graced his lips as a glimmer of anticipat...
"What?!" exclaimed a voice incredulously.
"Young Master Gou, despite being at the Late-stage Heavenly Origin realm, couldn't even defeat him!"
"Who exactly is this young man, to be so strong?"
Gasps of astonishment rippled through the onlookers one by one, many of whom wore expressions of delight.
"Admit your mist...
'Someone is watching me.' Mo Hao felt the fleeting surveillance of Shangguan Ning's divine sense.
'Could it be the guardian of this city?' he pondered, completely unaware that the person who was actually watching him was Jiang Chen!
'Hmm? They're not watching me anymore, it seems they haven't seen through my disguise, hehe!' Fe...
"Thank you," Mo Hao said, offering Jiang Chen a slight bow before stepping into the spatial channel.
In an instant, he materialized in a secluded corner of the Immortal Martial Continent—the Black Wasteland Domain!
This domain, abundant with black soil yet sparse in cultivation resources, was sparsely populated.
"At la...
Emerging from the quiet room, Jiang Chen wore a somewhat gloomy expression.
"Finally, you've emerged, Daoist Friend Jiang Chen!" Mo Hao exclaimed with joy, stepping forward hastily to greet him, all while disregarding Jiang Chen's darkened countenance.
"Something's gone wrong, Daoist Friend Mo Hao," Jiang Chen stated grimly.
After the Nirvana Cleansing realm came the Void Tribulation realm.
At this point, due to the cultivator's excess fusion with Great Dao energy and a heightened connection to the universe, they became exceedingly vulnerable to being absorbed by the vast cosmic forces, potentially losing their consciousness. In a way, this stage could be...
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a spatial channel materialized in the sky, like a deep-sea vortex hanging upside down.
"Ah, a Cave Heaven spatial channel! Daoist friend Jiang Chen, you owning a private Cave Heaven is indeed impressive," said Mo Hao, smiling as he observed the channel.
"Please, Daoist friend Mo Hao. With your distingui...
"What?!" Shao Ji's eyes widened, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints. "How is this possible!"
"How... how could he unleash such a powerful sword technique!" His lips trembled, his body stiffened, and utter disheartenment washed over him.
He knew that any defensive measures he could hastily muster would be useless. The only thing ...
'Something's off about this person,' Mo Hao thought, his brows furrowing as he sensed a growing hint of aversion within him.
"Greetings, My Lord!" Zhu Zhihai and the others bowed in unison, their expressions brimming with profound reverence.
Yet, deep within them, lingering concerns persisted.
This was because Jiang Chen...
In this critical moment, Jiang Chen immediately activated the Wordless Heavenly Jade.
Though his existing strength could easily dispatch a Middle-stage Transcendence realm cultivator, it wasn't sufficient to defeat Mo Hao, who had temporarily ascended to Late-stage Transcendence realm combat power.
To ensure his safety, Jiang C...
"Senior Shao Ji!" Suddenly, the pawn, who was the first to speak, cried out, his face alight with excitement as though the truth was already known to him. "Since Mo Hao's family has gone to the front lines, they must have planned meticulously. How could they leave their treasures vulnerable to theft?"
He added, "The treasures that wer...
The pill Mo Hao had consumed produced a rather long-lasting effect. If he returned now, his formidable combat abilities would be more than enough to prove all his previous detractors wrong.
The prospect of seeing Shao Ji and others wear expressions of sheer horror greatly lifted Mo Hao's spirits.
Simultaneously, Jiang Chen was ...
"Hehehe! Run? Where do you think you're running to?" Jiang Chen let out a sinister laugh, his voice skillfully altered to disguise his true tone.
His laughter reverberated through the sky, his figure invisible yet his voice omnipresent.
The sound immediately placed immense pressure on Mo Hao.
'Damn it! That dark sprite d...
"Think you can kill me? Dream on, even in another lifetime!" Mo Hao shot a frosty glare at the scar-faced cultivator. Without a moment's hesitation, he gave a direct command to his system—use Pretentious Points to ascend realm!
In the blink of an eye, forty thousand Pretentious Points were spent.
A mystic force abruptly welle...
"What is this guy up to? Planning to cultivate here?" The cultivator with a facial scar observed as Mo Hao descended onto the mountain peak and assumed a meditative posture.
He couldn't suppress a disdainful chuckle. "Heh, the Spiritual Qi here is so thin that even a Transcendence realm cultivator would struggle to restore their Dao Y...
Jiang Chen looked down at the cultivators from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, his mind deep in contemplation. 'These people... they are nothing more than a disorganized mob!'
'The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star actually dispatched such a group to the Immortal Martial Continent?'
'It's not entirely surprising. They must bel...
"Very well, bring in the next group!" the man in black armor declared, gesturing for the second batch to advance.
In a systematic fashion, two thousand individuals were divided into ten groups, entering the passage in a sequential order.
After each group's entry, a review for casualties would be conducted to assess if a trap la...
At that very moment, within the Immortal Martial Continent, in one of the sixteen domains referred to as the Pure Frost Domain, not far from the Moon Plucking Heavenly Sect, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly emanated, sending shivers down the spines of those who sensed it!
"What's going on!?" The Dao Palace realm cultivator responsibl...
Subsequently, Jiang Chen retrieved a massive dao treasure-level artifact refining cauldron from the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring.
This cauldron, silver-white in hue, boasted a unique design with double ears and four feet. The surface was intricately engraved with patterns representing mountains, rivers, flames, thunder, and lightn...
At that juncture, Mo Hao had entirely assimilated his newfound memories.
After all, these memories were indeed his own, only concealed for a century.
As for the system, he had come to grasp its intricacies fully.
'Who would have thought, I would find myself in this vast and mystical realm, triggering such a system!' Mo H...
Simultaneously, within the vast abyss of the cosmos, an immense and gigantic golden-yellow planet slowly revolved around a sun, so colossal that it defied imagination.
This golden-yellow planet was none other than the renowned Prosperous Stone Immortal Star!
The planet's appearance as golden-yellow was not a result of its surfa...
Jiang Chen's eyes immediately shot forward. The moment the spatial channel was destroyed, the powerful force did more than completely shatter the array platform; it also formed a massive pit.
The surface of the pit was scarred with irregular traces, created by the relentless force of space.
'It's a pity that the entire demon ra...
At that moment, an immensely furious roar spread throughout the demon race army's camp. "How dare you kill my grandson!"
"Today, I shall turn the Immortal Martial Continent into a land of death!" the voice continued, its fury palpable.
With a final, resounding command, the voice declared, "Armies, heed my command, launch the at...
This spatial channel was the same through which the last remnants of human cultivators had secretly attacked the demon race's rear lines a million years ago!
Ji Mingxiu and other Dao Palace realm powerhouses looked intently at the vast spatial channel, their faces bearing expressions of determination and solemnity.
Uncertainty ...
Jiang Chen stroked his chin, a contemplative look in his eyes. 'The real demon race army has truly descended this time,' he pondered.
'Bo Lang and his group were just the vanguard.'
'The Immortal Martial Continent isn't as formidable as one might think. Under normal circumstances, Bo Lang and his vanguard should have been able ...
