Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1248 - 864 Revived Enemies of the Human Race

It was only because of Jiang Chen’s special identity that in the history of the Prehistoric World, there hadn’t been those who were struck consecutively by Heavenly Punishment for a hundred years.

What a situation, even a great expert of Quasi-Saint Great Perfection level ended up being utterly annihilated by the Heavenly Dao.

Boom Boom Boom!

The pitch-black, destruction-emanating Divine Demon-Slaying Thunder, surged out from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, continuously flickering as if it intended to destroy everything.

However, faced with such a powerful thunder, Jiang Chen did not dodge or evade, but unfurled ten pitch-black Sin Treasure Wheels behind his head, firmly protecting himself, ready to confront the Heavenly Punishment head-on.

Boom Boom Boom!

The Divine Demon-Slaying Thunder fell like torrential rain, striking the Sin-bearing Treasured Wheels, dimming their emitted brilliance before slamming onto Jiang Chen’s body.

Yet, Jiang Chen, who had broken through to the midterm of the Quasi-Saint stage, had a flesh as tough as a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. The Divine Demon-Slaying Thunder, capable of easily annihilating Innate Dao Sovereigns, didn’t even rustle the hem of his garments.

Meanwhile, the ten Sin Treasure Wheels slowly spun, refining the thunder wrapped around Jiang Chen’s body into resources to strengthen his physique.

What is the Eternal Indestructible Body if not standing tall and unmoved regardless of the numerous tribulations it faces, without suffering the slightest injury?

This Supreme Divine Power, the Sin-bearing Treasured Wheels, passed down from the Demon Ancestor, was cultivated precisely to forge the Eternal Indestructible Body.

Boom Boom Boom!

Seeing that the Divine Demon-Slaying Thunder couldn’t harm Jiang Chen, the power of thunder surging from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment became even more terrifying.

The destructive-aura-bearing God-Destroying Thunder, one after another, struck down, submerging Jiang Chen, and in an instant, shattered the Sin-bearing Treasured Wheels, but still did not cause the slightest harm to Jiang Chen within.

In the following time, the power of thunder spewing from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment grew stronger and stronger.

Towards the end, a fearsome light of Heavenly Punishment burst forth, drenching Jiang Chen in blood with terrifying scars appearing all over his body.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen had only manifested ten Sin Treasure Wheels. Although the power of Heavenly Punishment was formidable, it wasn’t excessively absurd. Even in the final stage of Heavenly Punishment, the Zixiao Divine Thunder, which could threaten the Great Divine Transcendents, didn’t appear.

Three days’ time passed in the blink of an eye, and with the fall of the last Heavenly Punishment light, Jiang Chen had survived this ordeal. In the blink of an eye, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment disappeared into the Chaos.

"My power has increased a bit more."

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment had just vanished when a divine light flashed over Jiang Chen’s body. All the injuries he sustained in the Heavenly Punishment—the terrifying wounds—were restored in an instant.

A mere Quasi-Saint level Heavenly Punishment, how could it possibly harm Jiang Chen? Had he not wanted to test the endurance of his flesh, he could simply have used the power of the Dao Fruit, and even with the power of Heavenly Punishment increased tenfold, it would not have been able to breach his defenses.

As for such actions, could they be seen as a provocation to the Heavenly Dao?

How could that be, the Heavenly Dao is dispassionate, devoid of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and cannot be swayed by emotions. How would it even know what anger is, let alone be provoked by others?

Things like inciting the Heavenly Dao during tribulation to increase the intensity of the Heavenly Tribulation—are nothing more than boasting. Everyone’s tribulation is fixed; the Heavenly Dao is supremely fair. How could it increase the difficulty of tribulation for someone based on personal bias?

One might say, his Heavenly Tribulation was always this strong, whether or not he provoked the Heavenly Dao is irrelevant.

However, saying it that way would make one seem quite amazing.

"It seems that even without using the power of the Human King Dao Fruit and the Innate Dao Fruit, ordinary Quasi-Saints cannot harm me."

"To break my body’s defenses, it would either take a Great Perfection Quasi-Saint level expert to act, or the use of a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure to achieve it."

Through the recent testing, Jiang Chen gained confidence in the strength of his body, which is comparable to the highest tier of high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

In a bare-handed state, only Quasi-Saint level experts at the Great Perfection could break his flesh. Secondly, it would require the use of a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Jiang Chen had always been keenly aware of his physical body, which could be said to be his only weakness. For the Human King Dao Fruit and the Innate Dao Fruit enhanced his realm and magical power but did not improve his physical body.

That is to say, with the assistance of both Dao Fruits, Jiang Chen’s realm and magical power had reached the ultimate extent of the Quasi-Saint stage, but his physical body remained in the midterm Quasi-Saint stage.

In such a case, if his physical body wasn’t strong enough, it could easily become a target for others.

Fortunately, the results from this test satisfied Jiang Chen, with his physical body being extremely strong and tough, approaching the quality of a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure—anyone daring to target his body would certainly be in for a "surprise."

...

...

"Let’s go back!"

With a thought, Jiang Chen left the Chaos beyond the skies and returned to the Nanbuzhan Continent.

However, he did not head directly back to Li Mountain but found a place to hide, secretly keeping an eye on the situation at Li Mountain.

Jiang Chen was preparing for a sneak attack; he planned to take out a Quasi-Saint powerhouse on the other side at the moment the treasury of the First Emperor opened.

It was not that he was unkind; he had been forced into it.

Jiang Chen, skilled in the Innate Divine Calculations, was extremely sensitive to his own fortunes and misfortunes. The moment he returned from the Chaos beyond the skies to the Three Realms, he suddenly had a premonition—a feeling that someone was scheming against him.

Then, using the Taoist Mirror to peer into the future, he saw a scene that infuriated him.

He saw that at the moment the treasury of the First Emperor opened, those Quasi-Saint powerhouses lurking outside the Nanbuzhan Continent didn’t enter the treasury right away but instead launched a combined attack at him.
