The True Immortal Shadow furrowed its brows, puzzled by Jiang Chen’s disinterest, unlike countless prodigies before him who were very keen on uncovering the secrets of heaven and earth. Only Jiang Chen showed no interest.
“Do you not desire immortal life, to ascend and become immortal?” the True Immortal Shadow asked coldly, unable to believe a prodigy would lack such ambition.
“Of course I do,” Jiang Chen responded warmly. “But I won’t overly pursue it. When the time comes, success will naturally follow; if it doesn’t, even the greatest effort will be in vain. You probably understand this better than I do.”
“If there truly was such a path, there wouldn’t be so many still seeking the elusive immortal path. Moreover, life and death are cycles; it’s not a regret not to live forever or be immortal. Besides, can True Immortals truly be immortal?”
The True Immortal Shadow fell silent. True Immortals being immortal? Of course not; otherwise, why would the Supreme Palace still exist in the Nine Heavens Realm?
“Let’s begin,” the True Immortal Shadow said, wanting to move past the topic. With a thunderous sound, the final confrontation was set to start.
“Divine Punishment!” With a low shout from the True Immortal Shadow, boundless divine power surged out, pouring down like supreme sword light from an inverted galaxy.
The brilliant light swept across the space, with supreme laws spreading out, causing the boundless sky to collapse as if the heavens were being exterminated.
The entire void collapsed in clusters, resembling the dawn of creation, with chaos reemerging. The infinite fluctuations exploded completely, destroying everything. The overwhelming pressure swept out, suppressing the heavens and earth, looking down upon all realms.
At that moment, the True Immortal Shadow, emerging from the river of time, seemed like an immortal from bygone days, whose mere actions could turn the heavens and the earth upside down.
Jiang Chen was quite astonished by the grandeur displayed by the True Immortal Shadow, who was merely at the ninth level of the Great Sovereign realm, almost on par with him.
Yet, the power it unleashed far surpassed that of a Great Master, a feat rarely seen even among True Saints. It almost reached the power of a Saint.
This was unprecedented, even for Jiang Chen. However, upon further thought, it made sense since this was a True Immortal from the Immortal Domain, a supreme being with perfect laws, not flawed like those in his realm.
The disparity between worlds meant that even at the same realm, the strength was vastly different.
To put it bluntly, if a Great Sovereign from the Immortal Domain were to come down to the Nine Heavens Realm, not to mention Great Master, even True Saints might not be able to withstand them, possibly even Saints could be defeated due to various factors such as incomplete laws, resources, secret techniques, etc.
“You’re the first to make me go all out!” Jiang Chen was thrilled.
Previously, his own strength was too overwhelming. Even those of higher realms couldn’t truly push him to his limits. Now, the True Immortal Shadow gave Jiang Chen a real challenge, a strange pressure he hadn’t felt in a long time.
“An Thought Through Eternity!” Jiang Chen shouted, unleashing a peculiar power.
The laws of the universe mourned as a unique world unfolded, rapidly passing by. In the blink of an eye, thousands of years passed. This was the power of the Great Dao of Time. The power of time is terrifying, capable of corroding even the immortal.
Under this force, the True Immortal Shadow’s attacks seemed to have gone through thousands of years in an instant, disappearing as if they never existed. Updates are released by novel-fire.net
“Three Thousand Reincarnations!” The True Immortal Shadow, unfazed, unleashed divine power.
Numerous orbs of light swept towards Jiang Chen, each like a world, containing unimaginable power, bombarding him in an instant.
“Universe in the Palm!” Jiang Chen calmly reached out, grasping all the surrounding space. With a bang, the entire Three Thousand Worlds exploded, unable to advance further.
Feeling that these attacks couldn’t trouble Jiang Chen, the True Immortal Shadow charged forward, swinging its fists towards Jiang Chen.
“Meteor Fist!” Jiang Chen smiled lightly. Hand-to-hand combat was his least concern. In terms of physical strength, he had never feared anyone.
Their collision unleashed boundless waves of force, making the external observers’ eyelids twitch with its intensity.
Among them, Huang Qingtian was particularly shocked. The waves from above made his scalp tingle. Even a mere wisp of this force imposed a great sense of oppression and threat, as if he could be annihilated at any moment.
“This is the terror of the hundredth layer?” Huang Qingtian was amazed.
He had only heard legends of the hundredth layer but experiencing it firsthand, even from afar, left him utterly shocked.
He couldn’t imagine whom Jiang Chen was battling against. This was beyond the realm of Great Masters; it was the realm of Saints. Every action released powerful fluctuations that alarmed him.
As he pondered, a shadow swiftly surpassed him.
“Who is that?” Huang Qingtian was startled by the familiar silhouette, recognizing it when it merged with the natural world, achieving unity with heaven and person.
“Congenital Dao Body!” He realized it was the Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dao Sect, also its current successor, known for being incredibly low-key with few aware of her.
Even the Supreme Dao Sect did not know if the Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dao Sect would attend this time. It was only when the Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dao Sect surpassed him that Huang Qingtian realized her presence.
Soon after, Huang Qingtian sensed a powerful aura from behind him, no weaker than his own. Instinctively, he looked down to see a figure enveloped in golden divine light, fighting fiercely, wielding a great halberd and forcing the shadows back in defeat!
“Who is this?” Huang Qingtian was surprised. Although the Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dao Sect was somewhat unfamiliar to him, he had at least heard of her.
However, the figure below was someone he almost knew nothing about. If Jiang Chen were here, he would undoubtedly recognize the figure.
The Son of the Holy Spirit.
This character would appear later in the storyline but has now made an early appearance. However, Jiang Chen was too preoccupied to pay attention to these developments.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was in the hundredth layer, standing opposite the True Immortal Shadow. Various divine abilities surged out from both sides, blocking each other’s attacks and launching their own.
“So powerful! Finally, I’ve found someone who can match me evenly! But next, I plan to end this!” Jiang Chen exclaimed with joy and shouted: “Radiance of Myriad Stars!” Instantly, Jiang Chen’s aura skyrocketed, as if propelled by a rocket, increasing tenfold!
