Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1284 - 882 Kunpeng

Jiang Chen’s shattered flesh began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before the eyes of the three supreme powerhouses, Di Jun, Empress Nuwa, and Mother Earth, it quickly turned into ash, disappearing like smoke into thin air.

But suddenly, a mysterious force emerged, and Jiang Chen’s vanished flesh reformed out of nothingness, appearing once more and becoming even more powerful than before.

"Remarkable divine ability!"

Di Jun couldn’t help but have his eyes light up at this scene, praising Jiang Chen. After praising, his eyes filled with disappointment, a result of his inability to slay Jiang Chen.

He did indeed wish to strike again, but alas, that previous attack had already drained all his strength, and coupled with the hit from Mother Earth’s divine ability, he was now powerless to make another move.

His current incarnation was on the verge of collapse, unable to do anything else.

"Creation and destruction, huh? This youngster is truly a rare genius of our times, to be walking both these paths simultaneously."

Empress Nuwa, a master of the path of creation, saw within Jiang Chen’s divine ability the shadow of both creation and destruction, and was shocked by his talent.

To cultivate two opposing Great Daos at the same time was an extremely perilous endeavor. One careless mishap, unable to balance the two Daos, could lead to mental chaos, madness, or even a violent death.

Throughout history, countless cultivators had perished this way, and even Great Divine Transcendents had fallen to this danger. Cultivating the Dao is inherently fraught with crisis.

"Reincarnation?"

While Empress Nuwa saw creation and destruction in Jiang Chen’s divine ability, Mother Earth saw something different—a hint of the Way of Reincarnation.

She felt that Jiang Chen must have touched upon the mystery of the Way of Reincarnation. The cycle of passing from existence to non-existence, and back again, was in itself a part of reincarnation.

"Refine!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen spoke, and as his voice fell, the fragments of the twelve golden figures began to reassemble.

However, these fragments did not rejoin mid-air but instead all surged toward the collapsing incarnation of Di Jun.

The God-killing Array of the twelve Duotian Shenfans took shape in an instant, encircling Di Jun’s about-to-collapse incarnation at the center. The fragments of the twelve golden figures shattered completely in that instant, transforming into pure primordial qi, rushing into his body.

After the restructuring of Jiang Chen’s flesh, becoming even more formidable, the twelve golden figures naturally had to do the same.

Having devoured so many Quasi-Saints and Innate Dao Sovereigns, it was only a small step for the twelve golden figures to ascend to the realm of the Quasi-Saint.

This step should be taken from the body of Di Jun’s incarnation. By refining it, the twelve golden figures would all advance to the realm of the Quasi-Saint.

At this moment, in the weakest state of Di Jiang’s incarnation, it was the best opportunity for Jiang Chen to refine it.

"Never did I expect that my appearance would not only fail to slay you, to avenge those of the Demon Clan from the Beijulu Continent, but it would also result in the loss of one of my incarnations, becoming the resources for your strength."

A bitter smile spread across Di Jun’s face. When in his life had he ever experienced such a situation? Fallen to such a state where he was humbled by a Quasi-Saint.

He thought about resisting, but unfortunately, he really didn’t have even a shred of strength left. He could only watch helplessly as the power of the twelve Duotian Shenfans surged towards him, slowly devouring his incarnation.

"Jiang Chen, we shall meet again. I hope that by then, you will be able to defeat me with your own strength."

"Ha ha!"

Amidst the laughter, Di Jun’s incarnation was devoured by the twelve Duotian Shenfans, becoming nourishment for the advancement of the twelve golden figures.

Brilliant radiance burst forth, Di Jun’s incarnation gradually disappeared, and within the void, twelve illusory shadows appeared, rapidly solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the silhouettes of the twelve golden figures reemerged between heaven and earth, and a formidable aura erupted from them, sweeping through the entire Three Realms.

Simultaneously, an illusory river came into view behind them, emitting an ancient and distant breath, with neither end nor beginning.

The River of Time and Space!

At this moment, with the twelve golden figures standing in the River of Time and Space, it symbolized that they had completed their transformation, stepping from the realm of Innate Dao Sovereign into that of the Quasi-Saint.

Twelve Quasi-Saint-level golden figures, collaborating to form the twelve Duotian Shenfans, their power was enough to rival Great Divine Transcendents. If they were also empowered by the Innate Treasure Duotian Shenfan, they would reach the level of a Sub-Saint, a rarity even in the vast Prehistoric World.

It was a pity that the Duotian Shenfan was too severely damaged.

Otherwise, with supreme golden figures of the level of Great Divine Transcendents wielding an intact Duotian Shenfan, even if they could not rival a Saint, they would certainly be able to contend with the strongest of the Quasi-Saints, or perhaps beings of the Primordial Chaos 1st Level.

As Jiang Chen was determining the outcome on his side, the battle between Emperor Lord and Guiyi in Xianyang City had also reached its conclusion.

"Unite the Nine Tripods, and the Tripod shall stabilize Heaven and Earth!"

At the critical juncture of the great battle, Emperor Lord suddenly abandoned the Spring and Autumn Brush and summoned the Nine Tripods instead. In his hands, the full power of the Nine Tripods erupted, and a phantom of the ancient Nine States Continent appeared between heaven and earth.

With a punch from Emperor Lord, the Nine Tripods in mid-air fused, transforming into a huge Heaven and Earth Tripod with four legs and two ears, symbolizing the duality of the Two Principles and the Four Symbols, with the meaning of stabilizing the four extremes.

Hum, hum, hum...

At the same time, in Empress Nuwa’s hands, the top-tier Innate Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Tripod, immediately resonated, constantly in unison with the Nine Tripods, making its strength grow ever stronger.

At the same time, the Nine States Continent shook thunderously, and endless Original Power swept out, enhancing the Nine Tripods.

Boom!

Emperor Qin’s punch came thundering down as if the entire Nine States Continent was collapsing upon itself, and as if the Heavenly and Earthly Cauldron came smashing out of the primordial chaos from beyond the skies.

Even with the empowerment from the other two Great Divine Transcendents, making Guiyi’s power peak at the Sub-Saint level, he still couldn’t withstand this blow. First, he was rooted to the spot by an unrivaled suppressive force, then the Nine Tripods came crashing down, shattering his physical body violently.

Though his body was destroyed, Guiyi’s Innate Indestructible True Spirit remained unharmed. His True Spirit shone brightly, gathering the scattered flesh and blood, attempting to reconstruct his body.

It was then that Emperor Qin brandished the Spring and Autumn Brush, transforming it into a blade of eras, slashing towards Guiyi’s True Spirit.

Time is relentless, slicing silently; the blade swept over Guiyi’s True Spirit.

In the next moment, Guiyi’s luminous True Spirit suddenly shattered, turning into a sky full of light specks, scattering in every corner of Xianyang City.

Yet even so, Guiyi still did not fall. His shattered Innate Indestructible True Spirit instantly pieced itself together again, trying to reform.

Alas, the heartlessness of time cemented his wounds permanently at the moment he was injured, no matter how he applied his Divine Abilities, he could not reassemble his broken True Spirit.

Great Divine Transcendents, especially the top-tier ones, are easy to defeat but to truly kill them is far from simple.

They are near immortal, and even with an Innate Treasure in hand, it would take thousands of years to grind away at their True Spirits and flesh.

"Brother Guiyi, it’s time for you to depart!"

Emperor Qin stepped forward, arriving at Guiyi’s side, extracting the powers of Xuan Yuan and Jiuyuan from within him.

Instantly, a significant portion of Guiyi’s power diminished. Yet even so, taking Guiyi’s life was no simple task.

"Dayu, even if you suppress me, what then? With your strength, killing me would take at least thousands of years, but can you even last that long in your current state?"

Guiyi was laughing, Dayu was a man on the brink of death. Even if he managed to suppress him, how could he have the time to grind him away?

"Brother Guiyi, you’re overly confident. I’ve been planning for many years just to kill you three. Do you think I’d be unprepared to execute that?"

"Next, you will see for yourself how I shall take your life."

Emperor Qin was smiling too. How could he not know how hard it is to kill a Great Divine Transcendent? After all these years of preparation, he had already ready the means to kill them.

"Hmph, dreaming of killing me is just that, a dream."

Knowing Emperor Qin wasn’t lying, Guiyi steeled his heart, on the verge of self-destructing to drag Xianyang City with him to the grave. If he was to die, it would be by his own doing, not during Emperor Qin’s time.

"Suppress!"

Regrettably, at this stage, Guiyi no longer had the chance to self-destruct. Emperor Qin gestured towards the Heavenly and Earthly Cauldron, formed by the Nine Tripods, and in an instant, a force powerful enough to suppress Heaven and Earth exploded, once again immobilizing Guiyi on the spot.

What followed was Emperor Qin using Divine Abilities to separate Guiyi’s True Spirit from his flesh. Then, once more, he sacrificed the Nine Tripods, distributing Guiyi’s physical body into nine parts, each part suppressed within the Nine Tripods.

After that, he sacrificed the Great Wall, which was the embodiment of his Martial Dao will, confining the fragments of Guiyi’s True Spirit within it.

"Dayu, do you think you can wear away at me with your Martial Dao will and the belief that guards the Human Race?"

"Impossible. I am undying and indestructible. How could your will, along with the will of those insignificant humans, ever grind me away?"

Trapped within the Great Wall, the fragments of Guiyi’s True Spirit multiplied into millions of his own form, constantly roaring at Emperor Qin, letting out earth-shaking bellows.

The will within the Great Wall indeed couldn’t erode Guiyi because, regardless of the number of intentions within the wall, Guiyi’s True Spirit could always produce more and stronger wills.

The will of Great Divine Transcendents transcends the River of Time and Space; if they so wish, they can always converge infinite and immensely powerful wills.

Fortunately, sealing Guiyi’s True Spirit inside the Great Wall was just the beginning. Emperor Qin’s means to eradicate him were not so simple.

"The strength of one may be limited, but the united power of many is boundless. Guiyi, facing the combined force of our Human Race to refine your True Spirit is indeed a trivial matter."

At that moment, Jiang Chen approached and spoke to the sealed Guiyi within the Great Wall.

Jiang Chen was a master of this domain, best known for manipulating the power of all living beings. Whereas Emperor Qin might not be able to erode Guiyi with the will of the people, he certainly could.

"No rush, he’s still useful to us. I intend to use him against an old friend of the Human Race." Emperor Qin, aware of Jiang Chen’s capabilities, shook his head, signaling for him not to make a move.

"An old friend of the Human Race?"

Jiang Chen was somewhat confused, looking questioningly at Emperor Qin. However, Emperor Qin didn’t answer him; instead, he dragged the Great Wall, which held Guiyi, towards a corner of Xianyang City.

There, a Quasi-Saint powerhouse was trapped in place by the city’s formations, unable to move.

At the beginning, there were twelve Quasi-Saints who breached Xianyang City with Master Randeng. Eight of them were Demonic Way Quasi-Saints, already refined by the twelve golden men.

Among the remaining four, three were Great Divine Transcendents in disguise—Guiyi, Xuan Yuan, and Jiuyuan—now all subdued by Emperor Qin.

Thus, only one Quasi-Saint was left, the one currently in front of them.

From Emperor Qin’s demeanor, the ’old friend of the Human Race’ he referred to seemed to be this person.

But no matter how Jiang Chen looked, he couldn’t see anything unusual. The man before him was merely at the late stage of the Quasi-Saint realm, bearing no relation to the Great Divine Transcendents.

With a thought, Jiang Chen brought out the Tao Mirror and looked at the man again, startling him.

Because the person before him was none other than the ancient ancestor, Kunpeng!
