Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1573 - 1034 suppression_2

Many Great Divine Transcendents’ eyes flickered as they noticed something amiss. Jiang Chen’s progress was too rapid; in just a few days, his power had ascended by an entire level.

Had he possessed such strength during the battle with the Saint of Taiqing, the fight would not have been so difficult; he wouldn’t have had to rely on the power of the void to finally slay the Saint of Taiqing.

Boom!

Seeing the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign at a disadvantage within the other shore, the Saint of Taiqing took action once again. This time, he didn’t employ the power of all living beings but displayed the profundity of the Vitality Dao akin to the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

Innate Purple Qi enveloped everything like the primal unity that could evolve all things or devour all things.

This was the power of Taichu, also what Daoism calls the Innate Primordial Qi, the origin of Heaven and Earth, the first power to evolve from Chaos.

The title of the first among saints held by the Saint of Taiqing was not an idle boast; his strength was indeed formidable, with ever-emerging tactics.

Put simply, though the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and Upper Qing Saints each had their strengths, the Saint of Taiqing embodied the essence of all three Sanqing.

What the Saint of Taiqing could do, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and Upper Qing Saints could not. Yet what both the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and Upper Qing Saints could do, he too could master.

One able to match all three Sanqing—this saying alone reveals the formidable power of the Saint of Taiqing. That he could manifest the Pangu Divine Spirit wouldn’t be too surprising.

"This battle should be ending soon."

Surprised by Saint of Taiqing’s move, Jiang Chen first gasped, but then he smiled.

The time was up, and the heavenly punishment should also vanish. Saint of Taiqing’s divine ability was potent, but stripped of the enhancement from heavenly punishment, how much of its might could it still display?

Boom!

As the last echo of thunder faded, the thunderous lights in the sky also extinguished, vanishing in an instant.

And the Saint of Taiqing and Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, whose majestic figures were enshrouded by a seven-colored glow, immediately became illusory, like bubbles under the sun which burst upon contact.

Their aura seemed entirely drained, plummeting by ninety-nine percent, descending from the Primordial Chaos 3rd Level to the level of Great Divine Transcendents instantly. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Opportunity!"

Knowing this was the chance, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate and directly activated the Dao Mirror, employing the space-folding divine ability to split it in two, sending the halves toward the Saint of Taiqing and Primordial Heavenly Sovereign respectively.

On the other hand, sensing the retreat of the power of heavenly punishment, the Saint of Taiqing and Primordial Heavenly Sovereign immediately sought to withdraw their Divine Spirit Light and leave.

However, as mere Divine Spirit Light, in terms of speed, how could they compare to Jiang Chen? The sight of two Dao Mirrors looming high, sending down strands of brilliant Innate divine light, rooted them in place, unable to move.

Dao Mirror, the supreme magic treasure formed from the fusion of two Chaos Treasure fragments, has yet to become an Innate Treasure, but its power surpasses ordinary Innate Treasures.

It might not be able to hold a Saint’s true body, but to immobilize their incarnations is but an effortless task.

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing?"

With their Divine Spirit Light held in place and unable to retract, the true bodies of the Saint of Taiqing and Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, far beyond in the Chaos, became anxious, their voices full of rage crossing the vast Chaos and loudly scolding Jiang Chen.

"What am I doing?"

"Respected masters, why feign ignorance? Since you’ve joined the fray, isn’t it only fair to leave something behind before you leave?"

Jiang Chen said with a cold sneer, knowing that without leaving something behind after laying hands on him, how could it be considered a conclusion? These two strands of Divine Spirit Light would serve as compensation for their prolonged battle.

"Jiang Chen, you..."

Hearing Jiang Chen putting it this way, Primordial Heavenly Sovereign became even more furious. But aside from his helpless rage, he had no other recourse.

A strand of Divine Spirit Light is truly insignificant for such Saints. But if it were to be refined by others, it would be a significant loss of face, and it could lead to the leak of one’s fundamental essence and secrets.

Because its impact is significant, even Saints are reluctant to see their Divine Spirit Light exposed.

If it were the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s true body, snatching back the Divine Spirit Light from Jiang Chen would be all too easy.

Unfortunately, Saints are not permitted to step foot into the Prehistoric World, an iron law set by the Heavenly Dao, and they cannot defy it.

If that weren’t the case, he would not just be impotent and infuriated, but would have killed his way to Jiang Chen by now.

"If you want it, you can have it!"

At this moment, the Saint of Taiqing intervened and spoke out.

The moment the voice fell, those two supreme auras lingering in the sky beyond vanished without a trace.

"Enough, let’s not talk anymore. The item has already fallen into the hands of Jiang Chen. No matter how much more we say, it won’t change anything and would only leave us more on the backfoot."

Within the exterior chaos, the Saint of Taiqing said to the still indignant Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

If you’ve lost, then be upfront about it. Clawing and dragging one’s feet not only fails to change the outcome but also adds to the embarrassment. The Saint of Taiqing is not one to take a loss poorly.

...

......

Jiang Chen truly didn’t care about the threats from the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign. They had long since fallen out with each other, and even if he were to return those two streaks of divine soul light, their relationship could not return to how it was before.

Since that is the case, why should he hesitate? Predestined as adversaries, he must think of every possible way to weaken their strength and enhance his own.

"Gather!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, Jiang Chen collected those two streaks of divine soul light. At this moment, those two streaks had already undergone a huge transformation and couldn’t even maintain a human form anymore, turning into two hazy orbs of light.

It was because the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, seeing they couldn’t retrieve the divine soul light, decisively erased all memory contained within and severed their connection with their own bodies, leaving Jiang Chen with only two blank segments of divine soul light.

Otherwise, there was no guarantee that Jiang Chen wouldn’t pry into their memories.

However, it didn’t matter to him. Jiang Chen wasn’t interested in their memories. What he cared about was the essence of the divine souls of the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

Once he assimilated these two streaks of divine soul light, the day when Jiang Chen would evolve his own Pangu divine soul was not far off.

"Primordial Chaos 9th Level and Primordial Chaos 7th Level, huh? But surely there is more than meets the eye..."

Though bereft of memory, Jiang Chen still gleaned considerable information from these two streaks of divine soul light, discerning the current realms of the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign: one at the Primordial Chaos 9th Level, and the other at the Primordial Chaos 7th Level.

Yet, Jiang Chen was skeptical about this finding. He felt that the true cultivation levels of the two Saints might be even higher.

After all, the divine soul light cannot lie, but it can be condensed in advance. It was possible that these two streaks of divine soul light were a product the Saint of Taiqing and Primordial Heavenly Sovereign had condensed countless years ago, which they only chose to use now.

"Given the current situation, the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign are unlikely to reveal their true cultivation levels before me. Perhaps, this is precisely what they intended to leave for me, to mislead me."

In the Primordial Realm, the disparity increases dramatically with every level. Often, the gap of even a single level translates into an immense difference in power. If Jiang Chen miscalculates the strength of the two Saints, he will surely pay a terrible price.

"What sly old foxes they all are, one more capable of hiding than the next, keeping their cultivation levels so nebulous that it’s difficult to grasp the truth."

Jiang Chen felt helpless in his heart, sensing that the times had truly changed. Back in the Ancient Era, the powerful yearned to flaunt their realms, wanting everyone to know.

Not like now, when everyone is hiding their cultivation level, revealing their full hand only at the moment of life and death.

The nature of humanity has indeed changed!

...

"Qian Emperor?"

"Superior to a Human King, but not as much as a Human Emperor, could he be considered a quasi-Emperor?"

After the divine punishment, Jiang Chen’s identity also became clear; he was not a Human Emperor but was a bit stronger than a Human King.

Indeed, he can’t be considered a Human Emperor. Currently, the Human Race is not yet unified; there are no conditions for the birth of a Human Emperor - from whence would a Human Emperor come?

"Tsk tsk, the Martial Sovereign moves quickly indeed, so he has become a king so soon?"

"The birth of the second Human King of the Human Race, this is good news. As a fellow Human King, how could I not present a ’generous gift’?"
