Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1256 - 868 The First Emperor

"Not good, this formation is a trap, we’ve been duped!"

As Jiang Chen was exploring Xianyang City, outside the city, Randeng and the others also encountered trouble.

They followed the old tales of the Investiture of the Gods, using the Innate Dao Sovereign as bait to force the Ten Absolute Formation to reveal its flaws. Then, they, the Quasi-Saints, would strike together to break the formation.

In the beginning, things did indeed develop as they had anticipated. At the cost of the lives of ten Innate Dao Sovereigns, the Ten Absolute Formation finally revealed a flaw. But just as they were about to break the formation, an unexpected change occurred.

The Ten Absolute Formation before their eyes suddenly began to shift rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into another formation.

Everyone felt dizzy as the world spun around them, and then they found themselves in a mysterious void. Before they could grasp what had happened, the space in front of them changed.

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths emerged, separating them and placing each in a different realm.

Then, countless powerful Martial Dao puppets appeared silently, forming mighty battle arrays and, carrying a tide of Sha Qi, charged at them to kill.

For a moment, Buddhist chants, golden light, Dao Sound, and mysterious Qi burst forth all at once, as powerful Divine Abilities bombarded overall, shaking Heaven and Earth.

"Has it begun already?"

Sensing the commotion behind him, Jiang Chen immediately guessed that someone triggered the prohibition left by the First Emperor, thus entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demonic Extermination Divine Formation.

"Tsk tsk, counting Randeng, there are thirteen Quasi-Saints in total, quite a few indeed!"

Without needing to look back, and just by the wisp of pure Buddhist aura, Jiang Chen could tell that Randeng must be among the people who had arrived behind him.

"Randeng, I failed to kill you last time, and instead of hiding properly, you’ve now come forth to court death. Do you really think no one can kill you?"

Jiang Chen sneered, knowing that Randeng’s end had come. Today, all the masters who came to Xianyang City except for him must die, and Randeng was no exception.

Of course, Jiang Chen also knew that the experts who came here today were probably just clones; none were the original person in person. Even if he killed them, it would not affect their core beings.

But losing such a powerful clone would be enough to cause them heartache.

If a clone died today, then tomorrow, when the fated calamity arrived, they would have one less means of saving their lives.

After all, though it is not difficult to condense a clone, to condense one of Quasi-Saint level, that is difficult indeed, and the resources needed are unimaginably vast.

Even with their wealth, they could at most condense two or three Quasi-Saint level incarnations, no more.

Glancing back only once, Jiang Chen no longer cared about those people. Because he knew that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demonic Extermination Divine Formation was just the beginning.

Once they entered this formation, even if they desperately broke out of it, they would not regain their freedom, but rather fall into another stronger formation, the Cycle Star Array.

The millions of Martial Dao puppets within Xianyang City were just waiting for them there.

"A bunch of Quasi-Saints dare to covet the treasure of our Human Race’s great emperor, laughable indeed. Have they forgotten who the First Emperor was? Not being Great Divine Transcendents yet daring to covet his treasures, they are bound to meet a bad end."

"Little do they know, their ability to enter this place was intentionally allowed by the First Emperor. Otherwise, with the First Emperor’s methods, keeping them outside of Xianyang City would have been too easy."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen then proceeded towards the center of Xianyang City, to the majestic Xianyang Palace. The Twelve Gold Men should be there.

But just at that moment, he suddenly heard a familiar Buddhist chant in his ear:

"Amitabha Buddha!"

In the moment that the Buddhist chant sounded, three lotus blossoms, each as big as half a mu, bloomed above Randeng’s head in conjunction with the twenty-four halos behind his head, radiating endless golden light, which blasted a gap in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demonic Extermination Divine Formation, and he was about to leap out through it.

"Roll back where you came from!"

Jiang Chen, who was about to leave, saw this scene and without hesitation, turned around and threw a punch.

The vast punch exploded with intent, imbued with the grand belief that everyone could be as mighty as a dragon, directly shattering the protective golden light around Randeng, sending him crashing back into the depths of the formation.

The First Emperor’s fist intention was to protect the Human Race, but the ambition behind Jiang Chen’s fist was even higher, containing the grand will of everyone being as mighty as a dragon, the persistent pursuit of self-strength, the spirit of man conquering heaven, permeating the entire Human Race, the whole Heaven and Earth.

One could say there was no fist intention stronger than this.

With that punch, how many in the Prehistoric World of the same realm could withstand it? Randeng was just a late-stage Quasi-Saint, and the fact that he wasn’t killed by Jiang Chen’s punch already demonstrated his profound foundation.

"Hmph!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

After delivering the punch, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated and, with a flash, arrived outside Xianyang Palace. And just then, he heard another all too familiar voice.

"What a Dayu, truly worthy of being an emperor of the Human Race comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, to have merged the Cycle Star Array with the School of War’s battle array. Your forebear was caught off guard for a moment and fell right into your trap!"

Kunpeng, who had secretly passed through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demonic Extermination Divine Formation, was about to use his familiarity with the Cycle Star Array to circumvent the formation and enter Xianyang Palace directly.

But unexpectedly, just as he entered the Cycle Star Array, he triggered some prohibition and was detected by the Martial Dao puppets inside.
