Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1241 - 860 breakthrough, Heavenly Demon leader incoming_2

Chapter 1241: 860 breakthrough, Heavenly Demon leader incoming_2

In the past, Jiang Chen pioneered sky and earth amidst the chaos, influenced by the Tao of Pangu, he chose the Open Sky Divine Axe as his weapon for pioneering heaven and earth.

But now, having forged his own Dao, with ideas of his own, Jiang Chen naturally did not use the Open Sky Divine Axe when pioneering the heavens and the earth.

The treasure he used was called Reincarnation!

Reincarnation encompasses everything, it has no fixed form, it can transform into any treasure between heaven and earth, and perfectly replicate their capabilities. At the same time, it can also serve as a carrier of the Dao, bearing everything.

This is Reincarnation, manifesting everything that exists between nothingness and being, from being to nothingness.

Yes, so-called Reincarnation is the strongest of magic treasures, an eternal-level Supreme Treasure, obtained after fusing the three great Chaos Treasures: Chaos Pearl, Pangu Axe, and Creation Green Lotus.

In the past, within the Netherworld, Jiang Chen penetrated the secrets hidden within the three great Chaos Treasures, thereby comprehending the true essence of Reincarnation. From that moment on, he had been delving into the mysteries of the three great Chaos Treasures.

Now, the Open Heaven Treasure Reincarnation in Jiang Chen’s hands is the result of his recent endeavours. Touching upon eternity, and bearing on whether he could achieve his own Dao, Jiang Chen’s valuation of it surpassed all else.

One must know, Jiang Chen’s method of Slaying Three Lives was influenced by the mysteries of the Slay Three Corpses. For instance, using Innate Spiritual Treasures as a carrier for incarnations.

The Slaying Three Lives process would inevitably have a carrier, and the Dao rhyme contained in the three great Chaos Treasures served as the carrier for Jiang Chen’s three lives.

In doing so, if one day his three entities united as one, Jiang Chen would be able to refine this Supreme Treasure known as Reincarnation, which existed only in legend, and he himself would also ascend to an unprecedented peak.

Whether he could achieve eternity was unknown, but at the very least he could catch up to the steps of the Pangu Great God.

In Jiang Chen’s hands, Reincarnation kept changing, now a bell, now a pagoda, now a cauldron, now a mirror... Each transformation unleashed unimaginable might, tearing the chaos apart.

Crack! Crack...

With the shattering of the chaos, a brilliant light burst forth, illuminating a vast expanse of heaven and earth.

Next, compared to when the Pangu Great God pioneered sky and earth, aside from the lack of Chaos Demigods coming to obstruct the path, everything else was the same.

First, the Supreme Treasure Reincarnation couldn’t withstand the backlash of the chaos, it exploded loudly, turning into three Open Heaven Treasures: the Chaos Green Lotus, Chaos Pearl, and Heaven-Opening Axe.

Then, to prevent the newly-formed heaven and earth from merging again, Jiang Chen used his own body as the pillar of heaven, forcefully holding apart the new heaven and earth.

Last, was the creation of heaven and earth, with Jiang Chen transforming into all things.

Very quickly, a world that looked similar to the prehistoric Chaos World but was much smaller, was born within Jiang Chen’s body.

It was at this moment that Jiang Chen underwent a transformation, his limits soared, seemingly on the verge of stepping into the realm of a Quasi-Saint at any time.

Soon, very soon, he was only one step away—the moment he destroyed the newly-born heaven and earth, his breakthrough would be complete. Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen took action, shattering the newborn heaven and earth.

Boom!

The instant the heaven and earth shattered, unprecedented power erupted, as if to destroy everything, even Jiang Chen’s true body was affected and exploded with a bang, turning into a rain of blood that took a long time to recondense.

As the saying goes, to be established anew, one must first break down; the old body must be shattered to reshape a stronger, more perfect body.

But this process is also extremely dangerous, for after the shattering of heaven and earth, it does not settle down immediately, but it takes a long time to gradually calm.

To be established after breaking, the shattering of heaven and earth is the "breaking," and only when it quiets down, is it the "establishing." And during this period, it is when Jiang Chen is at his weakest.

Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

Within Jiang Chen’s body, suddenly a strand of demonic qi began to sprout, growing at an unimaginable speed, and soon turned into a faint demon shadow, surrounded by demonic qi, pouncing toward Jiang Chen’s True Spirit.

"Haha!"

"It hasn’t been easy, has it!"

"This Venerable has waited so long, and finally waited for the moment you fell into weakness."

The demonic shadow rushed toward Jiang Chen’s True Spirit, and could not help but let out a wild laugh.

"Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord!"

"I had no idea you were hiding so deeply!"

Jiang Chen’s face darkened; this demonic shadow was none other than the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord.

Indeed, in this world, besides the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, who else could hide within his body yet remain undetected by him?

At this moment, Jiang Chen finally understood why the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord was regarded as one of the most troublesome beings; his methods were unfathomably ingenious.

When he had first interacted with the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, Jiang Chen had been extremely cautious, using countless methods to protect himself from being tainted by the demon.

Furthermore, after their exchange of blows, he had repeatedly checked his body several times to ensure there were no problems before he finally let out a sigh of relief.

But unexpectedly, even as careful as he had been, Jiang Chen still fell prey to the opportunity seized by the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, and this tactic was truly frightening.

"Begone!"

Although he did not know when the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord had planted this thread of demonic thought, Jiang Chen did not take it seriously.

The greatest strength of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord was his formlessness and intangibility, the ability to silently implant demonic thoughts within one’s body; however, how effective these demonic thoughts could be was another matter.

It was as if all his skill points were invested in infiltration, making him much weaker in terms of demonic corruption. Otherwise, with the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord’s skills in concealment, he would have long since ensnared numerous Great Divine Transcendents.

The truth was that his ability to corrupt was not strong enough; even if he infiltrated a Great Divine Transcendent’s body, it was unlikely that he could seize control. And this was precisely where he fell short compared with Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. Had his corruptive powers been stronger, he indeed would have been the second coming of the Demon Ancestor.

The reason Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was so feared was exactly this; his corrupting powers were extremely potent, and also hard to guard against. Even a Great Divine Transcendent could falter if careless.

Haven’t you seen that even the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign was taken by surprise?

"Corrupt all under heaven!"

The avatar of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord knew he was no match for Jiang Chen, so he had no intention of clashing with him. His earlier outburst was merely a red herring. His target was not Jiang Chen’s True Spirit.

They saw the demonic shadow explode mid-rush, turning into countless threads of demonic thought that burrowed into Jiang Chen’s flesh and swiftly disappeared from sight.

Although Jiang Chen’s movements were quick, and he used the Dao Mirror to repeatedly scan his own body, obliterating most of the demonic thoughts, some remained undetected and hid within him without a trace.

"This?"

To say Jiang Chen wasn’t shocked would be a lie, but to claim he was greatly affected would be an overstatement.

He understood the goal of Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord; seeing that he could not fully possess him, the demon lord opted for a different approach, attempting to corrupt his physical form to replace his own body.

It must be said that the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord made a clever move, as seizing the physical body would be much easier than taking over the True Spirit.

Furthermore, the strength of Jiang Chen’s physical body was well-known, comparable to that of an Ancestral Witch at the same level. If the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord could acquire it, he would be able to compensate for his own shortcomings.

The drawback of being formless and intangible naturally lay in lacking a strong physical body, which was a significant disadvantage in battle.

"Indeed, a good idea, just a pity, you chose the wrong person."

Jiang Chen truly wanted to laugh. Truth be told, having his physical body corrupted by the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord was indeed troublesome.

Most critical was the fact that Jiang Chen lacked any effective means to resolve the situation. There were many divine abilities directed against the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, but how many would truly work was uncertain.

But why should Jiang Chen bother finding a solution? A physical body he was eventually going to discard - what did it matter if it was tainted? Do whatever you want, I don’t care!

Even, Jiang Chen hoped that the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord would take over his body, so that he could in turn use it to plot against the demon lord.

Undoubtedly, this body would be completely surpassed by the one within the Chaos Holy Embryo!
