Chapter 1044: The Strongest Person under the Starlit Sky
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Since those from the Tianyi Holy Land knew Jiang Chen was good at formations, they did not waste their energies deploying a clever formation. Anyway, simple or complicated, all formations were the same for Jiang Chen. So, they decided to use only the most lethal methods to defeat Jiang Chen.
Once the sea of thunder spread, they would launch an attack immediately to kill Jiang Chen’s true body. At this thought, Meng Lang and some other disciples were all very excited. Killing Jiang Chen had somehow become a thing worthy of pride.
Jiang Chen was going through another Ko. This time, he did not use the Ko of thunder to kill the enemy. Such attacks could take the enemy by surprise once, but unless the enemy were morons, he would not be able to succeed every time.
In the sea of thunder, Jiang Chen was bathing in thunder and lightning. His divine body was perfect and flawless, giving off s.h.i.+ning lights, like a piece of gla.s.s.
The Third Constellation Palace in his Constellation Sea was being filled by the Four Qi. Once the critical point was reached, the Four Qi would have a wonderful reaction, and the constellation palace would be illuminated.
During the two-week stay in Qingtian City, Jiang Chen and his two practicing bodies took an immortal elixir after getting the initial dose of Xuan Ling Qi. They took advantage of every second to practice. When both of the practicing bodies had improved greatly, Jiang Chen absorbed them and thus entered the Fourth Constellation Palace. The biggest change it brought was his level of The Nine Transformations Mysterious Method. He achieved the second turn. His force of thunder also achieved the level of Holy Thunder.
After a good while, the disturbance caused by the thunderclouds started to weaken. Then the clouds dispersed slowly.
Meng Lang took a deep breath. He was as concentrated as the other disciples. They did not even bat an eye.
“Go!”
When the last thunder had disappeared, all of the disciples were excited. They got into a formation and turned into a giant spear, emitting brilliant white radiance. Aiming at Jiang Chen’s heart, they intended to kill him with one strike.
At the same time, the Heart Killing Sword came into use again. The three grand supreme elders went all-out.
Closing his eyes, Jiang Chen’s true body seemed to have noticed none of this. The Buddha’s power of the eight groups of spiritual beings suddenly soared in his divine body. He looked the same, but he seemed to be as giant as a mountain.
The spear and the Heart Killing Sword met with a great resistance before they could get to Jiang Chen. A shapeless magnetic field came into existence around Jiang Chen, protecting in a radius of six miles. Then, when he opened his arms, the magnetic field disappeared. The spear and the Heart Killing Sword finally traveled through there. However, before those from the Tianyi Holy Land could cheer, a dazzling lightning and a brilliant Alien Flame were emitted from Jiang Chen’s hands. The Heart Killing Sword was sent flying again, while the spear, formed by energies, was falling apart. Nothing was left in the end. All of the disciples were sent flying. Some weaker ones died directly, while others went into comas and fell onto the ground.
“It’s destiny.” Jiang Chen opened his eyes at this moment. His look was ardent. Wherever he looked, things seemed to be fixed.
“Arrogant!”
“It’s as easy as falling off a log for us to kill you.”
“Even if we can’t, we can still move around at will. How dare you claim you can kill us?!”
The three grand supreme elders were irritated. Their disciples were injured and killed in their presence. They would be blamed after going back.
Fortunately, even though Jiang Chen had achieved the Fourth Constellation Palace, they still had ways to subdue him.
“Die!”
They took the Immortal Tying Locks out again. Compared to the previous two times, the spiritual pattern on the chains was s.h.i.+ning more.
“The strongest movement! Executing the Immortal!”
They threw the chains over following a certain order. Elder Tian Nan threw the chain with the force of electricity first. Then it was the chain of fire.
The two chains interwove above Jiang Chen’s head, whirling and falling slowly. In the end, the chain of water was thrown as well.
The three chains locked every inch around Jiang Chen. Even if he escaped into the void, he would still be unable to run away from them.
“Even though you are in the Fourth Constellation Palace, in our eyes, you are the same as in the Second Constellation Palace.” Seeing the three chains form a seamless net smoothly, Elder Tian Nan felt relieved.
Even emperors would suffer loss under their strongest attack. Not to mention Jiang Chen.
“Is there any difference?”
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. Then something flew out of his body.
A great change happened on the battlefield. Stars moved. The mountains and rivers there a.s.sumed a different look. The blue sky overhead turned to a starlit sky. Among the stars, the seven brightest ones formed a unique outline.
One of them was extremely bright. The starlight shone over them. The Immortal Tying Locks were severely damaged. As if they were being burnt by fire and struck by thunder at the same time, the net they had formed collapsed.
The grand supreme elders were petrified. Under their gazes, the chains were all broken.
Whoos.h.!.+
The sound of unsheathing a sharp sword froze the three’s blood. They saw Jiang Chen holding two Doctrine Swords and das.h.i.+ng over under the starlit sky.
“This is…”
In a trance, they thought it was a powerful attack launched by a Sacred Lord. Their blood froze. Their limbs could not move.
Jiang Chen’s first target was certainly Elder Tian Nan.
He repeated the same trick. His soul left his physical body again, but this time things ended up differently. When the Heavenly Fault Sword was struck, something s.h.i.+ning was flowing along the blade. It was difficult to tell whether it was the sword radiance or the bright light of stars. The physical body was struck open, including Elder Tian Nan hiding in it.
“This is… How is it possible?!”
He refused to believe it even when dying. As grand supreme elder, he was killed by a youngster.
Then Jiang Chen looked toward Tian Bei and Tian Xi.
The two were scared out of their wits by Elder Tian Nan’s death. They could not figure it out either.
“Wind and Fire Swords Wheel!”
Jiang Chen launched an attack toward them, not giving them any chance to speak. Aided by Buddha’s power, he was absolutely not an average possessor of the Fourth Constellation Palace. And he had the great power of the Big Dipper Star Formation.
Under this starlit sky, he was the strongest person!
“Divine King Flying Fist!”
“Star River Split by a Palm!”
The two refused to wait for their deaths without doing anything. They exerted their best movements. The mighty palm force and the vast fist force were enough to defeat any Star Venerable. However, they were useless facing the swords wheel.
As soon as the swords wheel turned, the fist force was cracked. When the swords wheel turned again, the palm force was also offset. The swords wheel turned for the last time. And the two grand supreme elders were killed.
The Star Formation in the sky went back into Jiang Chen’s body. Everything went back to normal. The disciples of the Tianyi Holy Land saw the result of the fight. They had lost the traces of Jiang Chen and the grand supreme elders since the Star Formation had been deployed. But before that, they saw the strongest movement of the Immortal Tying Locks. They thought the elders would win by then.
The sight of the three dead bodies was a heavy blow for all of these disciples. They were trembling in fear. They were looking at Jiang Chen in a different way. “Run!” Some quick-witted disciples tried to flee as fast as possible.
Meng Lang wanted to flee too, but he found himself unable to move, because Jiang Chen was staring at him. Others might be able to survive, but he definitely could not. Jiang Chen had come here this day to kill him!
“I said something about your woman, and you want to kill me just for that?” Meng Lang said, getting his pluck up.
“Just for that?” Jiang Chen smiled coldly, approaching him.
Meng Lang lost his courage immediately. He burst out crying, begging for Jiang Chen’s mercy.
However, it was too late.
