If he had not been accompanied by the acquired merit spiritual fire, he would have died countless times by now!
"I didn't expect there to be a Human Race member at the Profound Immortal Perfection realm. The taste must be even better!"
A demon soldier exclaimed in delight.
Boom!
As soon as those words fell, the early Grand Unity Profound Immortal demon who had been fighting Suiren Shi suddenly unleashed his full might. Not only did he send Suiren Shi flying a hundred miles with a single palm, but he also proclaimed to the demons beside him, "This is my food. Let's see who dares to snatch him!"
"Then this Human Race member at the Earth Immortal realm is mine!"
"I'll take this one!"
"Heh-heh, I want all of these!"
In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of millions of Human Race members appeared to these demon soldiers as nothing more than food, which they prepared to divide among themselves!
Seeing this, the Human Race not only felt sorrow welling up in their hearts, but despair also shrouded them all!
Their protector, the True Dragon Ao Yu, was being utterly beaten down. Even their human ancestor, Suiren Shi, was about to become food for others. Their Human Race truly had no more aid left!
The Human Race was in danger!
"I was ordered by my master to protect the Human Race here. Unless my master tells me otherwise, I will never retreat even half a step, even if it costs me my life!"
Her voice rang out across the Primordial Wilderness once more. Ao Yu shook her somewhat dazed head and spoke stubbornly.
With that, she charged toward Gui Che once again!
"How dare you oppose my demon race? You're simply courting death. Today, let alone you—even if the master you speak of came here, I would still exterminate the Human Race!"
Gui Che's gaze turned cold. Then, the might of a late Grand Unity Golden Immortal erupted in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he appeared above Ao Yu's head, raised the Fangtian Huaji, and brought it down, intending to sever Ao Yu's dragon head!
He had originally intended to persuade the Dragon Race to surrender, which would also increase the demon race's strength. But now that Ao Yu was stubbornly refusing to submit, he no longer wanted to wait.
Seeing this, the surviving Human Race members nearby closed their eyes in despair, as if accepting the fact that they were about to die, and quietly waited for death to arrive!
"Suppress!"
However, just as everyone accepted their fate, the expected scream did not come!
Instead, it was replaced by a voice!
"You bunch of wretches—how dare you bully my mount and the Human Race?!"
Hearing this, everyone felt that the voice sounded strangely familiar. Then they opened their eyes.
The moment they did, they saw that not only was Ao Yu, whom they had expected to be dead, still alive, but twenty-four white pearls were also slowly rotating above her head. The white pearls radiated overwhelming might and happened to block Gui Che's Fangtian Huaji!
However, when they saw the stunning young man suddenly appear above Gui Che, many people's pupils contracted, and they cried out in shock:
"Sage Emperor!!!!!!!"
That's right. This young man was Jiang Chen!
Back when he had entered seclusion, Jiang Chen had sensed that the Human Race's destiny was declining. He immediately realized that something had happened to the Human Race and hurried over!
Fortunately, it was not too late!
Looking at Ao Yu, whose body was covered in wounds, and then at the miserable state of the surrounding Human Race members, a trace of coldness flashed through Jiang Chen's eyes!
He had never expected that while he was merely in temporary seclusion and absent from the Human Race, such a major incident would occur. And when he saw the storage spirit treasures filled with Human Race members in the demons' hands, he understood everything.
The Witch-Slaying Sword had begun!
At this thought, a sky-shaking killing intent instantly surged within Jiang Chen!
"Master."
Ao Yu also saw Jiang Chen's arrival, and her eyes immediately lit up. But before she could say anything, she seemed to finally relax and fainted from the pain!
Jiang Chen said nothing. He only grew colder as he slowly took a peach from the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and placed it in her mouth. Then he said indifferently, "Tell me. How do you want to die?"
He spoke calmly without even looking at Gui Che, as if he were talking about something completely insignificant.
After his words fell, Gui Che thought he had misheard.
As a perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he could naturally see Jiang Chen's cultivation at a glance: the Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortal realm!
Yet a Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortal was asking a late Grand Unity Golden Immortal how he wanted to die?
Subconsciously, Gui Che thought this man was an idiot.
However, how could he know that Jiang Chen's physical cultivation had reached the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm? Not only had he gathered all the divine abilities of the Three Pure Ones, but he was also accompanied by countless spiritual treasures!
"Brat, you're her master? The Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortal realm isn't bad. If you know what's good for you and join the Demon Race Heavenly Court, I can not only grant you immunity for what happened just now, but also let you enjoy the fortune of my Heavenly Court."
After seeing through Jiang Chen's cultivation, Gui Che tried to recruit him.
In the past, someone with Jiang Chen's cultivation would never have caught his attention. But after the Witch-Demon War, the Heavenly Court had suffered heavy losses, and he suddenly wanted to take Jiang Chen under his command.
However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chen interrupted him.
"Suppress!"
With a thought from Jiang Chen, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls moved according to his will!
In an instant, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls radiated endless divine light throughout the heavens. The twenty pearls slowly enlarged and shot toward Gui Che.
Since Gui Che refused to choose his own way to die, there was no need to waste words. Jiang Chen would choose for him!!
"Bold!"
Gui Che's expression changed, and he immediately flew into a rage!
But he had no time to think. He hurriedly circulated his internal magical power and swung the Fangtian Huaji to block the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls!
Buzz!
The Sea-Calming Divine Pearls smashed down onto his head, instantly making his body sink.
Seeing this, Gui Che's expression shifted slightly. "A High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure? So that's how it is. No wonder you dared to provoke me. But this still isn't enough!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and instantly knocked the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls away.
"Not enough, indeed."
Jiang Chen's expression remained calm as he murmured to himself. There was no surprise in his eyes, as if everything was within his expectations!
Then he flicked his sleeve, and an apricot-yellow banner was brought forth!
It was none other than the Wuji Apricot-Yellow Banner!
If one High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was not enough, then he would add a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
The moment the Wuji Apricot-Yellow Banner appeared, a ray of sunlight shot down from the center of the sky. In an instant, endless divine power infused it. Together with the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, it smashed toward Gui Che from both sides!
What?!
Two Innate Spiritual Treasures!
Even Gui Che was momentarily shocked.
He was one of the Ten Great Demon Sages of the Demon Race Heavenly Court, yet he had only one Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Fangtian Huaji. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, not only possessed a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, but also a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?!
At the same realm, someone with a spiritual treasure had a much greater chance of victory. With two spiritual treasures, needless to say, one could even fight across several realms!
Boom!
In the next moment, Gui Che was sent flying by the two Innate Spiritual Treasures, crashing heavily into a hundred-meter-tall mountain nearby!
However, Gui Che's previous shock vanished. After flying out of the rubble of the mountain, he instead burst into laughter. "Although your spiritual treasure is a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it's a defensive spiritual treasure, so its offensive power isn't great. If you had one more, I might be the one to lose!"
After being struck earlier, he had figured out that the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Jiang Chen was using was not offensive, but defensive. While delight appeared in his heart, boundless greed also flickered in his eyes!
He only possessed one Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. After seeing Jiang Chen's wealth, he immediately conceived the idea of killing him and taking his treasures!
But then, a shocking scene unfolded!
"Is that so? Then I'll add one more!"
As Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, a black-gold banner appeared. Innate Dao Rhyme flowed around it, and its might was no weaker than that of the Wuji Apricot-Yellow Banner!
It was also a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
It was none other than the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner!
Seeing this, Gui Che was dumbfounded. His eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets!
At that moment, he even wanted to curse. When had Innate Spiritual Treasures become so worthless?
But Jiang Chen paid him no attention. After bringing forth the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner, he immediately used his Spiritual Sense to control the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, the Wuji Apricot-Yellow Banner, and the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner. The three spiritual treasures smashed fiercely into Gui Che together!
This time, however, he did not hold back. The immense magical power of an early Grand Unity Golden Immortal also flowed into them!
The moment the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner appeared, a sense of danger surfaced in Gui Che's heart. He immediately tried to dodge, but Jiang Chen had already prepared for it. Besides, how could he evade three Innate Spiritual Treasures?
Very soon, the three spiritual treasures smashed heavily into Gui Che!
In the blink of an eye, Gui Che was beaten black and blue by the spiritual treasures, and even one of his arms was broken!
The might of Innate Spiritual Treasures was evident!
"Brat, you're courting death!"
