Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1266 - 873 The True Masterstroke of the First Emperor

"Emperor, do you need my assistance?"

Deep within Xianyang City, Jiang Chen had also sensed the Emperor’s weakness and wanted to lend him a helping hand.

However, the Emperor refused.

"It’s no trouble, just focus on refining the Twelve Metal Figures, and strive to refine those Quasi-Saints as soon as possible." The Emperor transmitted his voice to Jiang Chen, instructing him not to intervene.

"I understand!"

Although unsure of the Emperor’s deeper intentions, Jiang Chen still followed his orders and suppressed the urge to act.

"Damn it!"

"Nothing but twelve chunks of iron, do you really think you are the Twelve Ancestral Witches? Dreaming of refining me, your ancestor, is simply wishful thinking."

Within the God-killing Array formed by the Twelve Metal Figures, the Ancestral Witch Kunpeng’s flesh regathered into human form, roaring continuously.

Though his incarnation only possessed the cultivation of a late-stage Quasi-Saint, his essence was that of a Great Divine Transcendent possessing the indestructibility of Primordial Chaos.

The Twelve Metal Figures, only at the realm of the Innate Dao Sovereign, had limited power and were not yet capable of refining such a high-level expert.

Only, Kunpeng was able to struggle because his true body was powerful enough.

However, those eight Quasi-Saints from the Demon Sect and the numerous other Innate Dao Sovereigns faced a dire situation against the refinement of the Twelve Metal Figures.

Especially the numerous Innate Dao Sovereigns, despite all their efforts, were continuously losing their original source under the refining of the Twelve Metal Figures, soon becoming too weak to struggle and could only watch themselves slowly heading towards doom.

As for the eight Demon Sect Quasi-Saints, their situation wasn’t very optimistic; already on the brink of exhaustion, they could only resist the relentless refining power by joining forces.

Even by combining their power, they couldn’t hold on for much longer as their strength kept weakening, while the power of the Twelve Metal Figures continued to increase.

"Fellow Daoists, hold on; I, your ancestor, am here to lend you a hand!"

Within the God-killing Array, Kunpeng suddenly revealed his true form, a creature that seemed neither Kun nor Peng, an Innate Saint.

He opened his wings, which blotted out the sky, with a gentle flap, boundless clouds surged, rushing toward the eight Demon Sect Quasi-Saints to help them resist the refining by the Twelve Metal Figures.

Kunpeng was well aware that the only reason the Twelve Metal Figures couldn’t refine him was that they weren’t strong enough. But if they refined these eight Demon Sect Quasi-Saints, as well as the power resulting from Randeng’s self-explosion,

then it was possible for the Twelve Metal Figures to ascend to the Quasi-Saint level. By then, even if his true self arrived here, he might be refined as well, let alone this late-stage Quasi-Saint incarnation of him.

Until the last moment, Kunpeng did not wish to lose an incarnation. Thus, he set his sights on those eight Demon Sect Quasi-Saints, hoping to join forces with them to collectively resist the refining of the Twelve Metal Figures.

As long as the Twelve Metal Figures couldn’t refine them, they wouldn’t be able to ascend to Quasi-Saints. And as long as the Twelve Metal Figures couldn’t become Quasi-Saints, they wouldn’t be able to harm Kunpeng.

Just like Jiang Chen did not need to worry about the consequences of joining forces with the strong from the Demon Sect, neither did Kunpeng; he was, after all, a monster teacher of the Northern Netherworld!

"Kunpeng, you’re too confident. Do you really think I have no way to refine you?"

Jiang Chen saw Kunpeng’s intentions almost instantly and then, with a wave of his hand, the Duotian Shenfan suddenly appeared in his grasp.

Next, Jiang Chen tossed the Duotian Shenfan into mid-air and in the next moment, the Duotian Shenfan abruptly split, transforming into twelve, each landing in the hands of a Metal Figure.

"Duotian Shenfan!"

Seeing this scene, both Kunpeng and the eight Demon Sect masters’ expressions changed.

These two treasures, alone, they feared none, but if these two items were merged together, even Great Divine Transcendents would frown upon facing them, leaving them no choice but to be afraid.

Roar! Roar! Roar...

Just as each Metal Figure took hold of a Duotian Shenfan, a faint yet distinct roar suddenly echoed Between Heaven and Earth.

At the same time, the Duotian Shenfan shone brightly, resonating continuously with the Twelve Metal Figures, and then their bodies gradually began to change, transforming into vessels of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, sprouting flesh and morphing into their likenesses.

At this moment, the realm of the Twelve Metal Figures didn’t change, still at the peak realm of Innate Grand Sovereigns, but the God-killing Array they formed was subtly transforming.

A nameless power surged forth, causing the entire Heaven and Earth to tremble, affecting not just the Three Realms but also the distant All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, continuously roaring and vibrating.

Roar! Roar! Roar...

The roars echoing Between Heaven and Earth became clearer, and vaguely, one could see twelve extremely ethereal shadows, seemingly stepping forward from the past, crossing the endless River of Time and Space, descending into the present.

The roars reverberating Between Heaven and Earth were emitted by them. And they were the Twelve Ancestral Witches, existing in the past!

"This..."

Such astonishing changes were even beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations; he had not anticipated that the combination of the Duotian Shenfan and the Twelve Metal Figures would trigger such a transformation, seeking to summon the Twelve Ancestral Witches from past spacetime.

"Quick, everyone act together, separate the Twelve Metal Figures from the Duotian Shenfan, we must not let them unite."
