Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1277 - 878 Each with Their Own Hidden Cards_2

Jiang Chen was too special, like a miracle child. It was as if the entire world revolved around him; any outrageous event happening to him didn’t seem strange at all.

Now, the whole world was indeed revolving around Jiang Chen, because the time for him to reshape the Chaos World was drawing nearer. The gaze of the Heavenly Dao naturally converged on him.

...

"Jiang Chen, what exactly have you done?"

In the blink of an eye, not only had the twelve golden men disappeared, but even the Pangu Banner imprint bestowed by his master had gone. Even someone as composed as Yun Zhongzi couldn’t help but shout.

"I returned it to him with his own methods."

With a slight smile, Jiang Chen’s body merged again with the supreme golden man. Yet, the supreme golden man, whose strength had reached the level of Great Divine Transcendents, didn’t gain much strength from his integration.

Lacking the power of Gonggong, the strength he possessed now was already the limit of the twelve golden men, unable to become stronger.

"Go!"

Seeing Jiang Chen ignoring him, Yun Zhongzi’s heart burst with rage. He raised the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s testimonial holy artifact, and struck at Jiang Chen.

"Think I’m afraid? Qingping Sword, strike for me!"

Jiang Chen responded with a cold smile. The Qingping Sword, which had long been restless in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, suddenly slashed out from between his eyebrows, clashing with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

It’s just a Saint’s testimonial holy artifact; did he really think he didn’t have one? Was his master not a Saint, just like Yun Zhongzi’s?

A long time ago, the Upper Qing Saint had entrusted his own testimonial holy artifact, the Qingping Sword, to Jiang Chen.

Although not explicitly stated, Jiang Chen had guessed the intention: the Upper Qing Saint wanted him to use this sword to slay the Buddha and facilitate the return of Duobao Taoist Master.

Unexpectedly, before Jiang Chen even encountered the Buddha, he first came across the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

"I’ll deal with you later!"

Glancing at Yun Zhongzi, Jiang Chen waved his hand, and the Power of Reincarnation flowed in his palm, splitting infinite time and space, enveloping Yun Zhongzi, and banishing him to an unknown location.

Yun Zhongzi had protection from the Divine Ability left by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign; Jiang Chen couldn’t break it instantly. He simply banished him to avoid irritation out of sight, out of mind.

"Get lost!"

While banishing Yun Zhongzi, Jiang Chen grabbed the Duotian Shenfan with his right hand and shook it fiercely, sending out streams of Chaos Sword Qi to block the sudden punch from the unfamiliar Great Divine Transcendent.

Although there was still a gap between the supreme golden man’s strength and that of this strange Great Divine Transcendent, aided by the Innate Treasure, the Duotian Shenfan, the gap was bridged, and he was even slightly superior.

"I underestimated you, it seems today I must reveal my true capabilities to defeat you."

Despite the Great Divine Transcendent’s strength, having collided directly with the Duotian Shenfan, he was violently knocked back.

Especially since he was now in a state of a severed arm, the injured body couldn’t fully exert its power, putting him at a disadvantage against the Innate Treasure.

Silently, strands of Chaos Qi spread, engulfing the battlefield and rendering their figures completely invisible.

At this moment, even the gaze of a Saint could not penetrate the fog of Chaos to discern the situation inside.

"Such secretive actions imply an identity that must not be revealed!"

Jiang Chen didn’t stop the unfamiliar Great Divine Transcendent; instead, he let him act freely because he too wanted to know who this person really was!

The great Divine Lords of the Chaos World were numerous, but few were as powerful as this one. Now, by using a secret method to conceal this place, making it impossible for anyone to see, it was clear he was preparing to reveal his true strength.

Once he exerted his full capabilities, his identity would naturally not remain hidden.

Whoever it was, even a Saint in full force would reveal their true identity—an unchanging truth.

Because only by using their true form could they unleash their full potential.

Jiang Chen had realized that since this person had chosen to reveal his true identity, he must have a way to counteract the Duotian Shenfan.

So, as the other party concealed this place, he too was not idle, still trying to communicate with Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch who had been completely cut off.

Although the seals of the saints were powerful, they were not invincible; they could seal Gonggong, but not Mount Buzhou.

This time, Jiang Chen did not use the twelve golden men to contact Gonggong. Instead, he employed the resculpted Mount Buzhou of the Divine Territory to connect with the ruins of Mount Buzhou.

According to his previous conjecture, Mount Buzhou was unique; the ruins of Mount Buzhou and the one he had recreated should be one and the same. If so, there should be no barriers between the two when connecting.

How could the power sealing Gonggong compare to the power of Mount Buzhou?

Boom!

In the center of the Divine Territory, the resculpted Mount Buzhou shook continuously, its power crossing the boundaries between illusion and reality, abruptly descending into the mysterious and unknown void where the ruins of Mount Buzhou were located.

"What’s going on?"

"Why are the ruins of Mount Buzhou suddenly shaking? Did something happen outside?"

Gonggong, about to fall back into slumber, suddenly felt the ground beneath him, the ruins of Mount Buzhou, inexplicably start to shake, reviving his spirit as he carefully observed the surrounding situation.

He suspected that some significant change in the outside world might have triggered the ruins of Mount Buzhou.

"It worked!"

A mysterious force surged, making a mystic void suddenly appear before Jiang Chen—a vast Chaos Lake, comprised entirely of Chaos Qi.

At the bottom of this Chaos Lake was a huge figure bound in iron chains, with a head of a python and the body of a man, wearing black scales, standing on a black dragon and encircled by a blue python—it was Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch of Water.

"Isn’t it the ruins of Mount Buzhou? Why does it appear before me as a vast Chaos Lake?"

Although he couldn’t understand why the ruins of Mount Buzhou had transformed into a Chaos Lake, current matters were more pressing. Jiang Chen shouted continuously towards the chained Gonggong:

"Gonggong, Gonggong, can you hear my voice? Now, the ten fallen Ancestral Witches need your power to help them resurrect from the stillness of death."

Fearing Gonggong could not hear, Jiang Chen used the Pangu Divine Ability to its utmost, turning his voice into the ultimate force, piercing through the seal to reach him.

Jiang Chen had thought that Gonggong would be overwhelmingly excited upon hearing his voice, but he was wrong. Gonggong hardly cared about what he was saying; what mattered was that someone had finally connected with him.

Then, he eagerly described his current situation:

"I can barely hold on. It won’t be long before I am devoured by the waters of the Chaos Lake. Then, the surging waters of the Chaos Lake will bring an unimaginable cataclysm to the Chaos World."

The tone of Gonggong’s speech was extremely weak, almost as if he had no strength at all, completely different from that of a Great Divine Transcendent, more like a decrepit old man. This revealed his predicament.

"What!"

"An apocalypse?"

After hearing Gonggong’s words, Jiang Chen was completely stunned. He had never imagined that such a massive tribulation was hidden here.

Simultaneously, he realized why the reconstruction of Mount Buzhou had been so smooth. Between Heaven and Earth, a Mount Buzhou was needed to replace Gonggong, to suppress the endless waters of the Chaos Lake.

As long as Mount Buzhou could be remade, even if Gonggong died, it wouldn’t matter. With the suppression of Mount Buzhou, no matter how turbulent the Chaos Lake waters were, they couldn’t stir up any waves.

"So that’s it!"

"I am aware of this matter and already have a solution. Gonggong, please don’t worry too much."

"For now, I need you to do me a favor, release your Ancestral Witch imprint, and help me perform the Twelve Duotian Shenfan God-killing Array."

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Chen said to Gonggong.
