Chapter 701 Heavenly Evolution Forty-Nine
On the road to heaven.

The celestial being's image rapidly approached, its golden radiance illuminating the heavens and earth.

Jiang He turned around in front of the giant mirror. This twelve-layered glazed mirror city was also a great treasure. After helping him awaken the Three Corpse Technique, its quality dropped to that of a half-immortal weapon, which is a sub-legendary level, but it still possessed some supernatural powers and could reflect the mind.

call!
The majestic Dharma image swung its sword, causing the ground along the entire Heavenly Road to crack rapidly. Nine large cauldrons formed the body of the Dharma image, and the illusory images of mountains and rivers that served as its flesh could be vaguely seen.

boom!
A silver dragon spear materialized in Jiang He's palm. As he gripped the spear, a storm erupted. From high above, the toothpick-like dragon spear swung against the sword's edge, unleashing endless turbulence. Its heavy weight was amplified by the power of gravity, making it unstoppable under the control of divine power.

Boom!

It was like a divine thunderclap exploding in the blessed land and sky.

The divine sword, hundreds of meters long and resembling a golden bridge, shattered inch by inch. The immortal's avatar staggered backward, and a dark abyss appeared between them. With a single thrust, the Heavenly Path of the Supreme Emperor Huang Zeng broke in the middle. This was a killing power that almost surpassed that of a mid-to-lower level ascension.

“Incredible.” The Holy Lord of Zhaojing’s eyes darkened slightly.

[Qi Qing] fully deduced that there was a chosen one in the Six Blessed Lands, whose borrowed power of heaven and earth could even obscure the causal perception of a fourteenth-realm powerhouse. The fighting level of the Immortal Clan's Dao Child Jiang Wuyang was between proving the Dao and ascending to immortality. Once he advanced to the eleventh-realm Jade Purity, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"No wonder Zongzheng had to give the order personally."

"This is too exaggerated."

boom!
The twelve-layered glazed mirror city collapsed entirely on its original site.

A streak of light approached with unparalleled speed, its form as small as a mustard seed, yet it suddenly kicked the Immortal Dharma Image in the abdomen. The power of the wielding force and the legendary straight kick were perfectly fused together, causing the Immortal Dharma Image to explode from within, and the twelve disciples of the Daoist Mountain who were in charge of the formation died instantly.

"But the Ascension Array isn't too bad." The Holy Lord of Zhaojing made a hand seal.

call!
Golden specks of light fell like rain from the sky.

Nine large cauldrons surrounded Jiang He.

The Flying Upgrade - Nine Cauldrons Mountain and River Divine Command Array is fully activated.

A dragon spanning hundreds of meters materialized, and the immortal's form was reshaped, with two faces and four arms, holding an iron tower, a divine sword, a heavenly drum, and a soul bell. Three ordinary ascending-stage souls, after being refined, reappeared at this moment. The Holy Lord of Zhaojing sighed inwardly, these three souls were his former enemies, and now that they had all been mobilized, he had already gone to great lengths.

Long!
The heavenly drum shattered, and boundless sound waves surged from all directions.

Jiang He landed and stood with his gun in hand.

Although the name of the great formation is unknown, the Nine Cauldrons before it lead to the same destination as Ji You's Great Cauldron of National Fortune.

According to the common knowledge that the Fifth Elder usually explained, this method of commanding gods and immortals is a privilege of the Great Yin royal family to suppress the world, which originates from the fruit position [communicating with the underworld] and [inviting gods].

"The Holy Land of Zhaojing, is it?"

"Their eating manners are too unsightly."

The sound waves came, yet felt like a gentle breeze.

Second spiritual talent: Eternal Soul, unyielding and steadfast.

Jiang He drew his fingers like a sword and gently slashed down. The hundreds-of-meters-long dragon, composed of ordinary ascended souls, immediately lost control and crashed to the ground, as the suppression of the lower-ranking dragon race by the dragon god's bloodline erupted.

boom!
As the gaze fell upon it, countless thorns shot up from the dozen or so cratered pits that appeared on the ground, entangling the dragon's entire body, absorbing its soul blood and nutrients. The thorns penetrated deep into its flesh and blood, multiplying wildly. In the blink of an eye, the thorn forest buried the dragon, shattering its soul into nothingness.

"Does just the soul count?"

Of the three pillars of the extraordinary, two are missing. The difference between the soul and the peak state is naturally enormous.

As the giant sword slashed down from the sky, Jiang He calmly moved aside. The immense restrictive force of the Nine Cauldrons pressing down on him was brutally nullified. If hunting souls counts as a success, then he could hunt the reincarnation of a fourteenth-realm being. After all, for an ordinary hero to advance to an elite, killing a legendary elite is simply too difficult.

Boom boom boom!
The Heavenly Road of Emperor Huang Zeng was constantly cracking.

Everyone in the entire blessed land was shocked and turned their heads in disbelief.

The fact that this level of combat could escalate indicates that there was more than one person involved in the "fishing" incident. Ordinary Golden Core cultivators at the third level would never witness an Ascension Realm cultivator make a move in their entire lives.

boom!
A distant and profound voice swept across the heavens and earth.

The light of eternal judgment descended from the heavens.

—A mythical-level secret technique was activated. The sky and the ground were filled with white light.

The two-faced deity's image melted away like ice and snow.

The Holy Lord of Zhaojing couldn't help but be moved. A wisp of his divine thought immediately disappeared, and the Heavenly Road of the Supreme Emperor Huang Zeng began to collapse completely. Jiang He walked through the air and captured the delirious Dao Qi in a vast expanse of white light.

"Did I forget something?"

Jiang He pondered for a moment, then turned around and brought Tianfazi, who was pretending to be a wooden figure, over. This guy was polite and sincere, and Jiang He didn't mind taking advantage of him since it was just a casual matter.

Click!

Dao Qi's entire body exploded, and his soul was scattered.

Tianfazi was still somewhat confused. When he came to his senses and looked down, he saw that the once long heavenly road had now turned into a bottomless abyss.

"...He survived."

"Wait, isn't the big boss bullying Jian Buyao?"

[Hint: Hunting Ascension Realm beings +2 (4/10)]
Jiang He led Tianfazi into the spatial vortex. His goal in following Ye Tian into the blessed land was nothing more than to eliminate the threat completely and to seize opportunities. According to Tianfazi, a person who had attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality once perished in this blessed land. If the chosen one of destiny proves himself, he might even have a chance to seize a position, which would be a completely new power.

……

The Great Yin Dynasty, Mount Dedao.

The mountain peaks are verdant, and the Taoist aura is like mist.

The middle-aged Taoist priest sat alone in the meditation hall, looking at his seventh junior brother's shattered soul tablet, his expression not very good.

"Ninth Junior Brother was reincarnated as a child of great fortune, plotting to attain enlightenment through boundless blessings. However, due to karma and destiny, Seventh Junior Brother was forced to take the calamity in his place. Reincarnation is no longer possible. What a tragic situation."

The Great Heavenly Lord sighed softly. He had specially arranged for the Spirit Rhinoceros Heavenly Lord to be the protector of his Ninth Junior Brother's reincarnation, but the former perished. Now it was probably related to the attainment of immortality and ascension. His Seventh Junior Brother died at the hands of Jiang Wuyang, and the cause and effect were aggravated again. The conflict was irreconcilable. He did not believe that no one was behind it.

"Logically speaking, Lingxi Tianjun should have died but his soul remained, acting as a guide within Ninth Junior Brother's body."

"...I can't figure it out; it's protected by heaven and earth."

"In the end, it was... fate."

The Great Heavenly Emperor fell into deep thought. The former ruler of the Heavenly Court had fallen. According to the will of the Nine Provinces world, the ancient Heavenly Court should have collapsed, leading to the destruction of the world and the beginning of a new era, giving birth to a new mythical being. However, the destruction of the world meant the extinction of all living beings. The three founders of the religions were unwilling to accept this and chose to mend the heavens with their own bodies.

"Master's deductions suggest that there are nine chosen ones destined to destroy the world. Destroying the world does not require great strength; simply allowing the demon race to grow powerful and the Four Fiends to revive will be enough to break the balance of heaven. The Dao Mountain will usurp the throne and eliminate one of the nine, but this will ultimately lead to a backlash."

"When you're caught up in something, you're not in control of your own destiny."

The Great Heavenly Lord remained silent. Even though he understood the essence of the matter, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept the death of his seventh junior brother. Strictly speaking, the demon race was the current darling of heaven and earth, which was the fundamental reason why he had to doubt the origins of the "born nascent soul".

In an instant, the Great Heavenly Lord activated the [Six Gates Formation].

In just a moment, a strand of white hair appeared at his temples, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Jiang Wuyang has now killed his seventh junior brother and is eyeing his ninth junior brother. Among the thousand possibilities that are against him, the Great Heavenly Lord frowned more and more deeply. There were twelve possibilities that he had been careless and made a mistake, which led to his death. There were also nine hundred and eighty-seven possibilities that either the other party would retreat calmly or he would win but be difficult to kill.

"What a joke!"

"Is there only a one in a thousand chance that I can kill a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

The Great Heavenly Lord felt utterly absurd. This was all without any other Fourteen Realms intervening. Zong was playing chess with Jiang Shendao, and the Jiang Clan Elder's life was uncertain. He, a Fourteen Realm expert, was fighting against a Ten Realm expert, yet it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

After a while, the Great Heavenly Emperor's head was covered in frost.

His gaze calmed, and he began to refine two Dao-Merging Heavenly Talismans. Even if there was only a one in a thousand chance, he could capture it by relying on the [Six Gates Escape Technique] and [Disaster Relief].

"The heavens evolve into forty-nine, and one is removed."

"There is no truly invincible person; this is the way of the world."

"I'm betting my great honor on this, so don't blame me for bullying the weak."
