Dragon-Marked War God Chapter 311 +

Chapter 311 - 320

Chapter 311 - A Major Event is coming

There was a ferocious tiger in front of them, and there was no way to flee. This was a situation where only certain death awaited them. These mighty Combat Soul warriors had no way of escaping from Jiang Chen, the devil's clutch.

The crowds couldn't help but sigh. Before they came to the Island of Ice, Jiang Chen had been trapped in a situation where only certain death awaited... multiple times. But, in the end, he was able to survive the threat, and once they entered the Island of Ice, the tables had completely turned.

With Jiang Chen's character, he wouldn't give any opportunities for life to these Combat Soul warriors. The people in the crowds had all witnessed Jiang Chen's approaches; he was a fierce and brutal man. Furthermore, Jiang Chen had already proved his fierce reputation when he slaughtered the countless Divine Core warriors back in Inferno Hell.

Even the men from the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan were killed, let alone the remaining Combat Soul warriors. When facing Jiang Chen, these mighty warriors simply had no ability to fight back.

"Let's attack him together! We're all Early Mortal Core warriors right now, I refuse to believe he can defy the Heavenly Order!"

"Precisely! Let's attack him all together! Since we're all at the same cultivation level, with so many of us attacking him alone, we should be able to kill him!"

Two Combat Soul warriors shouted out as their eyes turned red. Their words touched the Divine Core warriors, especially the core disciples from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect. All of them joined forces in order to kill Jiang Chen. In the blink of an eye, more than forty warriors had grouped together, and they stood opposite of Jiang Chen with killing intent spreading into every single direction.

These people finally realized the fact; only by unitedly attacking Jiang Chen would they have a chance to survive. Since all of them were Early Mortal Core warriors now, no matter how strong Jiang Chen's abilities was; there was no way he could defeat so many united, mighty warriors.

Those core disciples from the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan clearly hated Jiang Chen to their core. Furthermore, they knew one thing; once all these Combat Soul warriors were killed by Jiang Chen, with his character, they would become his next target. Every single Divine Core warrior who joined the force had the same thoughts. Before they entered the Island of Ice, they had grouped together and attacked Jiang Chen, and the enmity between them had been set. There was no way to return other than group together once again. Only through unity would they have a chance to survive!

"Jiang Chen, if you know what you're going to face, there is still time for you to run away from here!"

A Combat Soul warrior shouted at Jiang Chen.

"Looks like you've truly wasted all the years you lived, why can you still not get a clear grip on the current situation? Why do you still wear that same superior expression on your face? Do you really think that with this group of people, you can kill me, Jiang Chen?"

With an indifferent expression, Jiang Chen threw his glance at the warriors. After that, he turned to the rest of the warriors who stood next to him and asked, "Are there any more who wants to kill me? I'll give you a chance, stand out right now."

Jiang Chen never showed those who tried to kill him any mercy. When the group of men in front of him made up their minds and decided to kill Jiang Chen, their destinies had been determined. Jiang Chen always behaved cruelly and brutally in front of his enemies, mainly because he didn't want to leave behind any potential future threats.

Commotion erupted amongst the crowds, but no one dared stand out. Those warriors who wanted to kill Jiang Chen were all hiding within the crowds, and dared not speak a single word. Most of these warriors were actually quite smart, and they could easily tell how ruthless Jiang Chen was. Becoming Jiang Chen's enemy was definitely not a wise decision! Therefore, it was better for them to just keep low, and not gamble their lives here.

"No one?"

Jiang Chen put his glance back onto the group standing opposite of him. His eyes were so sharp that it caused the group to feel as if a blade was scraping their faces. Jiang Chen slowly raised the longsword in his hand. The cold reflection of the sword seemed so frightening, as if it could devour the souls of those who stared at it.

"Let's kill him...!"

The leading Combat Soul warrior let loose a furious shout, and he became the first one to turn into a trail of light and dash toward Jiang Chen.

"All of you are going to die."

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth rose upwards, causing an indifferent grin to emerge on his face. His body sway, then in an instant, nine identical Jiang Chens appeared, immediately confusing his opponents.

After that!

Argh...!

Sad and shrill screams resounded throughout the opponent's group. Blood was spilled everywhere, and broken limbs were flying all over the place. Jiang Chen could be seen everywhere amongst the opponent's group, and he was moving so fast that he looked like a ghost that could appear anywhere; anytime. His opponents didn't even have the slightest opportunity to fight back. Or, put it this way, they simply couldn't tell how Jiang Chen appeared in front of them, before they died.

Puchi!

Argh...!

The longsword in Jiang Chen's hand was like a deadly poisonous snake, and death would claim life whenever it struck, including the lives of those Combat Soul warriors. None of them were able to withstand even just a single strike from Jiang Chen!

Blood and flesh flew around, and the crowds who were watching this from a spectator's standpoint couldn't restrain fear from engulfing their hearts. The slaughter made their faces turn pale. In just approximately thirty seconds, the scene became deadly silent.

It was completely silent. Although there was a crowd with more than ten thousand warriors here; not even the sound of breathing could be heard at this point of time; it was deadly silent! Everyone were just staring at the hellish scene in front of them.

In less than just one minute, over forty warriors had been completely slaughtered; none of them had survived. The place had turned into a blood pool, and the pungent smell of blood was constantly emitting, causing those who smelled it to feel like vomiting.

Eight Combat Soul warriors, all core disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan, as well as the other Divine Core warriors; they were all dead! Blood dripped down from Jiang Chen's longsword, and whenever a drop of blood hit the ground, it sound like a huge hammer slamming into the souls of all those watching.

Right at this moment, the way Jiang Chen was looked upon by the crowds had completely changed. The innocent looking young man was a truly ruthless devil king! He didn't even blink his eyes as he killed these warriors!

"Ruthless! Extremely ruthless!"

"He didn't even blink while killing the warriors! I think it's best if we keep a distance from him in the future!"

"I swear to the Heavens; I will NEVER offend this devil king, no matter what!"

............

Every single person amongst the crowds made a decision; they would keep a safe distance from Jiang Chen, and under absolutely no circumstance would they become Jiang Chen's enemy! The scene they just witnessed what simply too brutal!

Those who previously joined forces to attack Jiang Chen, but didn't stand out just now felt incredibly lucky! If they didn't restrain themselves from jumping out just now, they would be lying on the ground, dead like the ones who had. None would be alive right now.

There were still a dozen Combat Soul warriors in the desert, including Old Man Ling Shan and Golden Lion, and all of them wore the same shocked expression. They stared at Jiang Chen, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble in fear. At the same time, they felt lucky they didn't become Jiang Chen's enemy! If they had, their destinies would be no better than that of these men lying on the ground! Although Jiang Chen's cultivation was weaker than theirs, but while trapped in this desert, he was invincible!

"Big Yellow!"

Jiang Chen slowly put away the longsword in his hand, then he shouted at Big Yellow. Big Yellow immediately understood what Jiang Chen wanted to tell him, and he immediately dashed to the bodies on the ground with incredible speed, then he took away all their storage rings, as well as their Combat Weapons.

This once again made the crowds jealous. The combined wealth of all these dead warriors was enormous, it was an astronomical figure! Furthermore, many of the treasures seen in the auction were won by these warriors, and now, they all belonged to Jiang Chen!

For Jiang Chen, there was no reason to negotiate with his enemies, and the crowds were simply just jealous about the loot he got. If he didn't take away all this wealth, the crowds would do it for him; this was the cruel reality.

"Little Chen, our loot this time is huge! Much more than what we got back in Inferno Hell!"

Big Yellow's smile was so big that he could barely open his eyes.

"Come, let's proceed further into the Island of Ice."

Jiang Chen smiled, and didn't even pay any attention to the crowds. He started walking toward the inner parts of the desert. Since he actually didn't want to fight these superpowers, he had hidden his real identity when he came to the Blissful Island, but fate had pushed him into all of this. However, Jiang Chen had no fear at all; different situations called for different measures. As the once greatest Saint underneath the heavens, Jiang Chen's path towards the top would always be filled with powerful enemies and huge pressure.

Haa~

After Jiang Chen left, the crowds finally breathed out in relief. The pressure they felt when standing in the same area as a devil king like Jiang Chen was too huge! Those who wanted to kill Jiang Chen really desired to place their palms together and chant out Amitābha, as if their lives had just been saved. [1]

"So many people were killed, this matter is going to become huge!"

Someone said.

"True. Most of those Combat Soul warriors had significant backgrounds, especially the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan; they will definitely not let this matter go easily! Jiang Chen killed a lot of great warriors today, and the consequences for doing so will be much more serious compared to what he did in Inferno Hell."

"The Island of Ice appearing has inevitably drawn a lot of attention, I'm sure those superpowers in the Eastern Continent have learned about this. Perhaps they're in the middle of sending people over here right now? Even the Martial Saint Dynasty and Martial Palace might come here. If they see what we're looking at right now, the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan will definitely become furious. Also, those superpowers from the other powerful provinces will most likely come here as well, and none of them are going to let Jiang Chen off the hook easily. This is going to be fun!"

"Precisely, Jiang Chen is going to face a situation where there are enemies in absolutely all directions! I wonder if he resist the fury of all these superpowers!"

............

Everyone present had mixed emotions regarding this matter. Just one or two days later, all the superpowers will have sent their men to the island. According to the previous opening of the Island of Ice a hundred years ago, it took seven days before the entrance shut down completely, and those who entered would have to find a new exit by themselves. In the next days, more and more great warriors would arrive at the Island of Ice, and at that point of time, the situation would truly become chaotic. In other words, the fight between Jiang Chen and the superpowers had just begun.

"Let's go! We have to proceed further into this Island of Ice, let's hurry up and leave this desert; daddy doesn't feel safe at all when staying here."

"You're right. Our cultivations are restricted, I don't feel safe either. Once we leave this desert, our cultivations will be restored to their original state."

"Right! Also, we can't move these dead bodies either, just leave them here. Once those great warriors from the various superpowers arrive, something huge is definitely going to happen!"

............

Many people threw their glances at the dead bodies scattered all around. After that, they just turned around and continue running toward the inner parts of the desert. As warriors of the Heavenly Core and Divine Core realm, they had gotten used to flying around, and it had been a long time since they had to travel around on foot. The restriction to their cultivations made them panic, and they desired to leave this desert as quickly as possible, so that their cultivations could be restored.

Chapter 312 - Fork in the Road, Nine Paths

Jian Province, Eastern Continent!

Above a mountain range, white fog could be seen hovering everywhere, causing it to somewhat resemble a paradise. On top of the mountain range, palaces and houses could be seen everywhere, and the natural Yuan energy here was extremely rich. If an ordinary warriors was allowed to cultivate here, his cultivation would definitely improve significantly.

Hers lies the heart of the Jian Province, a dream destination for numerous warriors, the base of a superpower; the Myriad Sword Sect!

Right at this moment, outside the Myriad Sword Sect, a couple of warriors carrying longswords on their backs came into sight.

"The Island of Ice has reappeared after a hundred years; this is our fortune. This time, I, the Sect Elder will bring you all to the island. As for how many benefits you can get; it all depends on yourself."

The one standing in front of these warriors was an old white-bearded man with an incredibly strong cultivation base which was no weaker than that of Master Blissful. Amongst the group of warriors standing in front of him, aside from the two Combat Soul Sect Elders from the Myriad Sword Sect, the rest were all genius disciples. A man with a handsome face stood at the front, and he held a folding fan in his hand, and looked like he was in his twenties. His aura, however, was extremely powerful; he was actually a Combat Soul warrior! A genius like this was incredibly rare in the entire Eastern Continent.

Soon after, the old white-bearded man took out a huge sword. In an instant, the sword expanded and became so big that the entire group of more than ten warriors could stand on top of it. After all the men stepped onto the sword, it immediately started flying at an incredible speed; towards the ocean.

When a Mid Combat Soul warrior controlled the sword, it would only take 2-3 days to reach the ocean from the Jian Province.

At the same time, a similar scene played out in the Shangguan Clan's base. When they found out about the reappearance of the Island of Ice, the Shangguan Clan immediately sent out their Sect Elders and some geniuses to try their luck.

Even the Martial Palace and Martial Saint Dynasty sent their men. The storm brought by the appearance of the Island of Ice was tremendous! No superpowers were willing to let go of this rare opportunity! And they weren't the only ones, all the superpowers, as well as rogue warriors started rushing toward the Island of Ice upon hearing the news.

At the moment, the ocean had become very crowded. Numerous powerful warriors were rushing towards the center of the ocean, and many warriors who lived closer to the ocean had already arrived.

The Island of Ice had attracted countless warriors, especially those geniuses from the younger generation. Because of their capabilities and genius status, they were all incredibly prideful, and all of them possessed great destinies. Therefore, they wanted to enter the Island of Ice with their destinies, and try to obtain an even greater destiny. Nonetheless, they might be the next rising star! Every single warrior could still remember, the Martial Saint Dynasty's current emperor had improved significantly upon returning from the Island of Ice, and he eventually became a Combat King warrior.

Right at this moment, within Island of Ice!

The desert covered a very large area. Jiang Chen and his group were the fastest amongst the warriors present, so they were in the leading position right now.

"Wahaha, what a pleasant day! Not only did we kill all those old sons of bitches, we also obtain an enormous amount of wealth!"

Big Yellow let out a belly laughter. He was in an extremely joyful mood.

"Little Chen, I never thought you were such a brutal guy, it looks like I truly underestimated you! But, what surprised me even more was, I never thought such a brilliant genius would exist in the Eastern Continent!"

Nangong Wentian said as he sighed.

"Little Chen has always behaved brutally in front of his enemies. You got to know this, all of them are our enemies, and if our positions were reversed, and we were the ones captured by them; I don't think our destinies would be any better than theirs."

Han Yan casually shrugged his shoulders with a carefree expression on his face. This was how the world of cultivation worked; the strong prey on the weak! And when the enemies are so determined to kill you, if you treated them with mercy; that would be no different than digging a hole for yourself!

"Brother Nan, just now you said you didn't think such a brilliant genius would exist in the Eastern Continent... You aren't from the Eastern Continent?"

Jiang Chen was a little startled. He turned and asked Nangong Wentian.

"That's right. Little Chen, Brother Yan, although we haven't known each other for long, I do feel we're quite similar. Furthermore, Little Chen has saved my life, so I don't want to hide anything from you. I actually come from the Southern Continent, and I was travelling around in order to see the world, but it seems like I went too far and reached the Eastern Continent. Damn it! I was pretty unlucky back then! Just after I arrived at the Eastern Continent, I bumped into a savage beast that can devour souls. Although daddy killed it by tearing it to pieces, I was still poisoned by it. The poison was constantly devouring my soul every single day, and I tried countless things to get rid of it, but I just couldn't. In the end, I had no other options but to come to the Blissful Manor in search of pills that could heal my soul. Of course, those ordinary soul pills are useless to me, there's no way they could get rid of the savage poison. But, Little Chen, you're really amazing! The Nine Soul Restoration Pills you concocted finally made me fully recover!"

Nangong Wentian explained.

Jiang Chen and Han Yan couldn't help but sigh. They didn't expect this guy to come from the Southern Continent! After listening to Nangong Wentian's explanation, Jiang Chen and Han Yan finally understood why he wanted to use the Nine Solar Holy Water in exchange for the Nine Soul Restoration Pills; it was all because he was poisoned!

The Soul Devouring Barbaric Beasts were frightening demon beasts! They lived in dark places, and were born with incredible stealth and sneak attack abilities. Their population was quiet low, but all of them possessed incredible offensive abilities, and their attacks were mostly targeted at souls. By devouring souls, they could make themselves stronger. If any ordinary warrior was attacked by a Soul Devouring Beast, the consequences would be devastating!

To be frank, Nangong Wentian meeting Jiang Chen was all because of his good luck.

"Damn! The distance between the Southern Continent and Eastern Continent is not small! With your speed, you should have spent quite a lot of time traveling here, right?"

Big Yellow looked at Nangong Wentian and asked.

"I like adventures, it took me a bit more than one year to reach the Eastern Continent, from the Southern Continent. It wasn't a boring journey, and I went through a lot. Once we have some free time, I'll tell you about what I saw along the way! Also, let me tell you, when I left the Southern Continent, I was only an Early Divine Core warrior, but now, I'm a peak Divine Core warrior, and I'll soon be able to break through to the Combat Soul realm, hehe!"

Nangong Wentian said in a narcissistic manner.

"The fuck?!"

Han Yan threw his glance at Nangong Wentian, unsure of what to say.

"With Brother Nan's talent, that is perfectly normal."

Jiang Chen said as he nodded his head. From the Southern Continent to the Eastern Continent, it was indeed a huge distance, as it involved two huge continents. It wasn't difficult to imagine how many dangers Nangong Wentian had to face along his way. But, only by constantly facing challenges and risks while solving them would a warrior be able to grow quickly. Furthermore, Nangong Wentian's talent was no less than that of anyone else. After constantly experiencing different situations for over a year, it was perfectly normal for him to have such progress.

"Brother Nan, where did you get so much Nine Solar Holy Water?"

Han Yan asked.

"So much my ass! Daddy only had 8 drops of Nine Solar Holy Water! I consumed one drop some time ago, three drops in exchange for the Nine Soul Restoration Pills, and another tree drops as a reward for Master Blissful... I only have one last drop now..."

Nangong Wentian said in a gloomy manner.

Nangong Wentian didn't tell them where he got the Nine Solar Holy Water, so Jiang Chen and Han Yan didn't pursue him for an answer. They didn't ask about Nangong Wentian's background in the Southern Continent either. For them, having a brother and a friend like this was more than enough. If he wanted, he would have told them. If not, it was pointless to push him for answers.

The group continued running forwards, and even with their speed, when they finally left the desert, two hours had passed.

The concept of day and night didn't exist within the Island of Ice, and there was no sun and moon either. The entire island looked quiet and calm, and it wasn't dangerous and brutal like the Inferno Hell was either. The environment was ordinary, the light was ordinary; everything seemed kind of... dull.

"Wahaha, my cultivation has finally been restored! It was true, once we left the desert, the mysterious force would disappear by itself!"

"My cultivation has been restored as well! The feeling of having my cultivation base is so nice! The restriction made it hard for me to breathe just now!"

"So we can now be considered to have entered the real parts of the Island of Ice! What awaits us now are endless amounts of treasures!"

............

After leaving the desert, the crowds started excitedly yelling. Just as everyone had expected, the ancient and mysterious force only existed in the desert. Once they left the place, it would completely disappear, and their cultivations would be restored to normal.

After leaving the desert, a plain field appeared in front of them. It looked just like any other plain field, and there were no treasures in front of them now either.

"Let's try flying towards the ends of this plain field, I'm sure we'll find some treasures there!"

Someone said.

Right at this moment, many people threw their glances at Jiang Chen who was flying in front of them. Before entering the Island of Ice, Jiang Chen was surrounded by enemies, and were in multiple certain death situations. But, Jiang Chen had personally killed all his enemies back in the desert. Therefore, he had no more worries about being attacked by his enemies.

As for the rest of the Combat Soul warriors, none of them had any problems with Jiang Chen. If they did, they would have attacked him previously. And as for those Divine Core warriors who previously desired to kill Jiang Chen, they didn't dare try that anymore. Their cultivations had indeed been restored, but, so had Jiang Chen's!

The more than ten thousand warriors were scattered around in different locations, and all of them were rushing toward the end of this plain field at the same time. But, this time, they were all flying; no more walking!

A few minutes, the crowds reached the end of the plain field. A white fog suddenly emerged in front of them, and when they came closer to the fog, they discovered there were nine paths in front of them! Each path had appeared out of nowhere, and they looked illusionary, and none of them seemed to be real.

"How come there are so many paths? How are we going to choose which to take?"

"We must be extra careful! Although this Island of Ice is a huge treasure, I'm sure it's also filled with great dangers. Some paths must lead to real treasures, and some must lead to great dangers."

"Precisely. Let's wait and see. It's best not to be too impulsive. If we enter some dangerous situation, our lives would be thrown away in vain."

............

The crowds immediately stopped flying. Everyone stared at the fork in the road, the nine paths in front of them! They had no idea which path they should choose. The mysterious force that had suppressed their cultivations in the desert had told them one thing; this Island of Ice was an extraordinary place, and as always, risk and opportunity came together! When there was a great opportunity, great danger would usually lurk nearby. No one wanted to risk their lives for nothing. Therefore, they had to be really careful when picking which path they should take.

White fog hovered around all nine paths. Everything seemed quiet and calm, but the crowds felt an eerie feeling as they looked at the nine paths and the white fog.

Chapter 313 - Selective Death

"Little Chen, there are nine paths in front of us, how are we going to choose?"

Han Yan turned to Jiang Chen and asked. Han Yan's image of Jiang Chen's omnipotence was deeply rooted in his mind, that's why whenever they encountered a situation with a lot of variables, Han Yan would just turn to Jiang Chen for his opinion.

"Anything could happen in this kind of situation that has a lot of variables; each path can lead us to anything. Let's just wait and see."

Jiang Chen replied as he stared at all nine paths, carefully examining each of the. But, he couldn't tell any of them apart.

"Why are you losing your head? I'm sure there are someone else who are more nervous than us, just let those impatient people enter first."

Nangong Wentian crossed his arms in front of his chest. His expression was a calm one.

Time passed by, and crowds of people stood in front of the nine paths. None of them dared make the first move, but, it seemed like they were getting more and more relentless. It was just as Nangong Wentian had said; some people were starting to get impatient.

"I don't see any difference in these nine paths, and since you're all such cowards, I'll be the first one to proceed! I choose the middle path!"

Right at this moment, a young man who looked to be in his twenties stood out. He was a genius disciple from the Eastern Continent, and he was an Early Divine Core warrior at this young age, which made him feel really proud of himself.

Newborn calves weren't afraid of tigers; all youngsters liked adventuring! Therefore, this young man became the first one to walk one of the paths. He directly stepped onto the middle path with vigorous steps.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, after the young man stepped onto the middle path, it seemed like he was impacted by some sort of dimensional force. His body trembled a little bit, but it soon stabilized. After that, he turned around to the crowds and started laughing, "Look, nothing bad happened! Daddy is going in now!"

The young man turned around and continued walking further into the path, then he just suddenly disappeared.

"Nothing happened to him. Alright, I'll choose the middle path as well."

Seeing that nothing happened to the young man, the rest of the people didn't want to waste more time. Everyone understood one fact; the first person to enter might be the first one to get treasures!

At this moment, about eight people dashed toward the middle path, together.

In just a split second, these people reached the middle path. But, something suddenly happened!

Argh!!

A few miserable shrieks resounded. Under the frightened gazes from the crowd, six men from the group who just entered exploded like balloons, instantly turning into blood mists. After that, the bloody mist just disappeared into nowhere.

What?!

Many people cried out in alarm at the same time. Those who were right behind the group that just entered instantly stopped moving, stunned and frightened by what just happened.

The scene was extremely terrifying! The path still looked normal, and nothing weird had appeared, but those who entered the path just got killed for no reason.

What was even more puzzling was, there was a total of eight warriors who stepped onto the path, six of them died, but the two young men weren't hurt at all.

Presently, the expressions of those two young men turned real ugly. Their bodies were covered in the blood of those warriors who just died. Six men had just died without any prior signs. But, nothing happened to either of them. This was a bizarre situation that really frightened them.

"How did that happen?"

"Why did 6 of them die, but those two didn't?"

"What's going on? This is terrifying!"

No one could remain calm any longer, the situation had stunned every single one present. Finally, the two young men woke up from their shock. Both of them looked at each other, then they both let out a belly laughter, "Hahaha, I knew it! The Island of Ice's treasures are prepare for those with great destinies! Those with weak destinies can't proceed any further! We are in, and still alive... this means we are men with great destinies, hahaha!"

Both men were extremely thrilled. They immediately turned around and continued walking forwards, soon disappeared from the eyes of the crowds.

"This is odd... I don't believe it, there must be something wrong with this path! Let me try another path... I pick the first path!"

An old man in his fifties started walking toward the first path, but stopped when he arrived in front of the path. From the sweat on his face, one could easily tell how panicked he was. After all, a few people had just died on another path, so he would be lying if he said he wasn't a bit panicked.

"Fuck it, I don't care anymore!"

The old man gritted his teeth. It wasn't easy for him to come here, so he couldn't just return empty handed. The old man took a step forward and stepped onto the first path.

"Haha, look, I told you, there was something wrong with that path, nothing bad happe-, argh!!"

The old man got very excited, but in the next second, a miserable shrike left his mouth, just like the previous men. In an instant, his body exploded and turned into a blood mist, then he disappeared into nowhere, just like the others.

With this, the crowds were greatly frightened. They looked at the nine paths in front of them as if they were looking at the paths of death. The way those people died was really bizarre; they just died for no reason at all!

"Damn it, this is really scary, how did this happen?"

"This horrifying, all nine paths have the safe problem! We might just die at any time!"

............

The crowds were terrified, and few could remain calm. Their desire to hunt for treasure has lessened. No matter how precious the treasure might be; nothing could compare to the importance of their own lives.

About ten Combat Soul warriors stood at the front with frowns on their faces. They too had many doubts regarding which path they should choose. Soon, one of the Combat Soul warrior's eyes lit up. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of treasure, so he finally picked a path and started walking toward it.

"Those who died were too weak."

After saying that, the immediately stepped onto the path he had chosen. Right after he stepped onto the path, everyone could see a frightened expression emerge on his face, and he restlessly struggled to step off the path. But, he was done for.

Boom!

An explosion resounded. The Combat Soul warrior's body exploded in just a second, and turned into a bloody mist which hovered around the place.

"Even a Combat Soul warrior died, who else has the courage to step onto a path?"

"That's it, this is a path to death, and we have no way of entering! Is it really like that young man said, they were able to enter because they're men with great destinies?"

Panic struck almost everyone's minds. Few were able to remain calm when facing such a situation.

The Golden Lion furrowed his brows, as if he had just thought of something. He threw his glance at a young man no far away from him. The young man was only at the peak Heavenly Core realm, and it looked like he was still frightened by what he had seen, as his face was pale.

Pat!

The Golden Lion grabbed the young man's shoulder and said, "You go."

"Senior, please spare my life, I don't want to die now!"

The young man nearly pissed his pants, and he repeatedly cursed the Golden Lion inwardly. So many warriors had died, so sending him in was just like killing him. He also didn't think he was a man with a great destiny either.

"Just go, you might be able to survive."

With tremendous force, the Golden Lion threw the young man onto one of the paths as if he was throwing a kite. A pitiful shriek immediately left the young man's mouth, and his face turned red. The strength of a Combat Soul warrior was not something he could resist.

Plop!

The young man's butt collided with the entrance of the path. He was incredibly scared, and his body was violently trembling. His eyes were closed, and his pants were wet... he really pissed himself out of fear...

A minute passed by, and the young man didn't explode into a blood mist. Slowly, he opened his eyes and found out he was sitting on the path, and he wasn't dead! Without hesitating, he jumped up from where he sat, and stood up straightly.

"Wahaha, daddy is still alive, daddy is a man with a great destiny as well!"

The young man was very excited; he was still alive! Immediately, he turned to the Golden Lion and bowed. After that, he walked further along the path.

"What happened? Why did some men die, while others didn't?"

This was the biggest mystery that took place within the minds of those within the crowds, a mystery everyone were having a hard time figuring out.

"Little Chen, do you know the reason behind this?"

Han Yan asked.

"I understand now. These paths are actually all the same, but they have a selective process. Have you realized by now? Those who survived are all young men, and those who died in an instant were all old. That means, only those within certain age range can enter without getting hurt. As for those who are older, once they step onto the path, they will immediately be killed."

Jiang Chen didn't lower his voice, so everyone could hear what he said.

"What Brother Jiang Chen said is correct. If my guess is correct, those under 30 will be able to enter. As for those above 30... looks like we aren't destined to get any treasures..."

The Golden Lion said in a depressed tone. All the Combat Soul warriors felt slightly depressed at the moment. All of them were clearly older than 30.

"Haha, now I understand! This was made only for the young ones! All of you are too old, and don't have much potential, so the fortune of this Island of Ice isn't for you!"

A young man burst into laughter, then he flew toward one of the paths, soon disappearing from everyone's eyes. Indeed, nothing bad had happened to him.

"It might not be limited to those under 30, I am 31 years old this year, so I might be able to enter as well."

"Why don't you give it a try?"

"Alright, I'll give it a try right now!"

The man walked straight forward to one of the paths. He was really confident in himself, and thought he was still young, as he was only 30-one years old. But too bad, he only realized his mistake upon stepping onto the path.

After the man exploded into a blood mist, the crowds finally understood the rules. Many people became despondent. But, as for those youngsters, they were really excited! The Island of Ice didn't welcome anyone, it only welcomed those from the younger generation! With this, the competition immediately became less tense.

Looking at all those young men under 30 stepping onto the paths, Han Yan and Nangong Wentian's lips curved upwards at the same time.

"Hehe, fighting the younger generation sure is fun! Little Chen, let's go together!"

Nangong Wentian turned to Jiang Chen and said.

However, Jiang Chen on the other side was frowning. According to his body's age, he was only 16 years old right now, not even 17. But, as for his soul, he was an old monster who had lived for millenniums. If this was counted as his actual age, he would exploded in an instant.

This situation caused Jiang Chen to be at a loss. It wouldn't be any fun if it actually judged by the age of one's soul.

Chapter 314 - Stone Golem

"Fuck his granny! Looks like we indeed wasted our time by coming here."

Old Man Ling Shan said in a gloomy manner.

"We, as rogue cultivators, don't even have any talented juniors. If we did, we could still let out juniors enter and try their luck."

Another Combat Soul warrior said.

"Daddy will find myself a genius disciple after leaving this place! This is too depressing..."

The Golden Lion was even more depressed that the others. The Island of Ice had reappeared, but all he could do was stare at it, nothing else. Those mighty warriors from the superpowers were better than him, and although they too couldn't enter the place, they could still bring the ones from the younger generation along and let them enter.

At this moment, a man suddenly arrived in front of everyone. It was none other than Master Blissful!

"What's going on? Why aren't you proceeding further? Also, who killed all those people in the desert?"

Master Blissful looked at the Golden Lion and the rest of the warriors and asked.

"I killed them all."

Jiang Chen responded to Master Blissful's question. Only now did Master Blissful noticed Jiang Chen and the others in his group. His expression had a slight change as he recalled the brutal scene left behind in the desert.

"Understood."

Master Blissful let out a sigh as he nodded his head. He knew what happened between Jiang Chen and all those mighty warriors, and when thinking about how everyone's cultivations were restricted upon entering the desert, it wasn't hard for Master Blissful to understand what happened. Even so, Master Blissful still admired Jiang Chen's courage. Because, even for him, superpowers like the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan were not someone he wished to offend at all.

"Why is Master Blissful only here now?"

Jiang Chen asked, curiously.

"I bumped into some troubles back at the bottom of the ocean, and I didn't expect the Island of Ice to reappear. As for you all, why are you still here?"

Master Blissful threw his glance at the nine paths, and couldn't help but ask.

"Master Blissful, we can't enter, even you can't enter. These paths are really bizarre, only those are under 30 years old are allowed to enter. Those older than thirty will die immediately upon stepping onto the path."

Old Man Ling Shan said with a smile on his face.

"What?!"

Master Blissful's expression changed.

"Master Blissful, what Old Man Ling Shan said is correct. This is what we've found out."

Nangong Wentian said.

Hearing the cruel fact, Master Blissful was stunned on the spot. In the next second, he could really see that all those who stepped onto the paths were all young man. Finally, he couldn't help but let two words escape from his mouth, "The fuck?!"

Regarding most men, this situation indeed left them speechless. The treasure was right in front of them, but they could only stare at it! It was really difficult to explain the feeling.

"This is fate. When the current emperor entered the Island of Ice, I believe he was only 20 years old. But, unfortunately, the Island of Ice only appears once every 100 years, we can only blame the fact we weren't born at the right time. As for now, what we can do now is find a way to leave this island somewhere else. If we're lucky, we might be able to find some treasures along our way."

The Golden Lion said. Although all these 30 year old and above warriors felt extremely depressed, this was a fact they had to accept; there was nothing else they could really do. They couldn't just ignore the rules and kill themselves by stepping onto the path.

"Little Chen, let's delay no more, we need to quickly enter!"

Nangong Wentian was really impatient.

Jiang Chen once again furrowed his brows. For the first time in this life; he was feeling uncertainty!

"Little Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Han Yan could finally see an ugly expression on Jiang Chen's face.

"Nothing."

Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

"If nothing, let's hurry up and enter!"

Big Yellow was impatient as well.

"Hey Big Yellow, just how old of a dog are you? Don't get yourself killed!"

Nangong Wentian turned to Big Yellow Dog and said.

"Get lost! You're the old dog! Damn it! Daddy is a mighty and formidable being! I'm still young, how could I possibly be more than 30 years old?!"

Big Yellow bared his teeth and threw an angry glance at Nangong Wentian.

Jiang Chen didn't know what to do at this moment, but no matter what, he couldn't let go off this rare opportunity in front of him. Furthermore, he could really feel something beckoning for him within this Island of Ice.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Chen grit his teeth; he had to do it no matter what!

"Which path should we choose?"

Han Yan asked.

"Any one of them. It won't be a peaceful journey no matter which path we choose."

Jiang Chen simply threw his glance at the fourth path. He took a deep breath and started walking toward it with vigorous steps.

"Master Blissful, we're leaving now. If I do find some good treasures, I'll share a portion with you when I return."

Nangong Wentian started laughing, and he was the first one to step onto the path. He was about the same age as Han Yan, about 20 years old this year. Therefore, he had no issues proceeding further.

In the blink of an eye, Han Yan, Big Yellow, and Nangong Wentian had all stepped onto the path. Jiang Chen once again took a deep breath, then he finally took a big step and stepped onto the path as well. In an instant, he could feel his soul trembling, which stunned Jiang Chen. But luckily, the trembling only lasted for a second, and Jiang Chen's situation stabled down immediately.

Haa~

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, he could relax.

"Damn, I was lucky it only selected based on age of the body, and didn't touch my soul. If it did touch my soul... with daddy's millennium old soul, I would instantly die."

Jiang Chen inwardly felt very lucky.

"Little Chen, why can I feel there's something wrong with your emotions?"

Han Yan curiously asked. After having been with Jiang Chen for so long, Jiang Chen had always remained calm no matter what he was facing; no matter how bit the obstacle, of how dangerous the situation was. Not once has Jiang Chen had such a big fluctuation in his emotions.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something else just now. Let's go, I don't think the path in front of us is going to be safe, we better be extra careful."

Jiang Chen reminded everyone. Cultivating the Great Soul Derivation skill had given him extraordinary senses, he could accurately sense the unusualness of this Island of Ice. But, great danger was always accompanied by great opportunities. In order to obtain an incredible treasure, they would have to be prepared for the danger awaiting.

"Alright."

Han Yan and Nangong Wentian both nodded their heads. In such an environment, even with their strong cultivations, they would have to be extra careful. This Island of Ice was filled with a lot of bizarre things, and the paths they were now walking on had even killed a Combat Soul warrior! It wasn't difficult to imagine what would happen if the devastating force was applied to them; they would too be killed in an instant!

Tap... tap...

The path was really quiet, and silence filled their journey. The only sound they could hear was the sound of their footsteps. The group walked the path with solemn expressions, trying to be as careful as possible.

"I have a feeling that this path is going to be long."

Nangong Wentian said.

"There are cracks everywhere on this path, and it's emanating an ancient aura. I wonder how many years it has existed, it's really giving me an eerie feeling."

Han Yan furrowed his brows.

"Everything here looks unusual, so we can't be too careless. I'm sure this path won't be peaceful."

Jiang Chen's instincts told him that this path wouldn't be as peaceful as it seemed.

The group walked forwards for nearly an hour at a consistent speed. Suddenly, they heard a miserable shriek sound out not far in front of them!

The shriek sounded really eerie, as if it came from an inhuman creature.

Jiang Chen and the group sped up, and shortly after, they saw a man motionlessly lying in a pool of blood about 30 meters in front of them.

It was a shocking scene, the man's head had completely exploded! All that was left was a headless body. Blood flowed out from the neck, and it looked very frightening.

"He's the man who entered before us. What a pity."

Han Yan said.

"This man was an Early Divine Core warrior, and judging from the wound, his head must have exploded from a punch. It doesn't seem like he was able to fight back either."

Nangong Wentian said.

"Be careful, some unknown creatures might live here."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

"How can you tell?"

Nangong Wentian asked Jiang Chen.

"Not many people chose the same path as us, and none of them had incredible cultivations. At least, none of them had the ability to make an Early Divine Core warrior's head explode, much less the ability to do so without him being able to fight back. Also, there are no treasures here, so there's no reason to fight amongst each other. Before leaving the paths, I don't think anyone will have a desire to fight amongst each other."

Jiang Chen concluded.

"Little Chen is right. Since the warrior wasn't killed by a human, there must be some other creatures hidden around."

Han Yan's expression changed slightly.

"Careful!"

Jiang Chen suddenly shouted out loudly. With extremely fast speed, he punched toward Han Yan's back.

Bang!

A loud bang was heard. Jiang Chen's fist had hit something.

Han Yan immediately turned around. What he saw was a huge rock much taller than him standing behind him. It was a gigantic yellow stone golem, and it had clearly existed for quite a long time.

The huge stone golem had hands and legs, and its appearance resembled a human's. The only difference was that it didn't have any facial figures, it was a rock that could move around. It gave an eerie feeling to those who looked at it.

Crack... crack...!

Having suffered Jiang Chen's heavy punch, cracks started appearing on the stone golem's body. Soon, it shattered, and small rock pieces were scattered around the place.

"Damn it, what is this thing? Where did it come from, and why couldn't I sense it behind me?"

Han Yan couldn't help but curse. He felt really scared right now. If not for Jiang Chen attacking it in time, he might have been hurt by this stone golem.

"Be careful, it seems like these stone golems exist in another dimension. We can't see them or touch them, but they can come out and attack us whenever they want. It looks like this man was killed by this stone golem's sudden attack."

Jiang Chen said.

"Although these stone golems are pretty strong, they're no match for me. However, since they are hiding in another dimension, it'll be really hard for us to prevent their sneak attacks."

Han Yan furrowed his brows. His combat strength was quite strong, and his senses were quite sensitive. But, these stone golems moved in a ghostly manner, he just couldn't sense it when it appeared behind him.

"There are more of them here."

Jiang Chen squared down and picked up a small rock. After carefully examining it, he said, "There aren't any Yuan energy ripples on this stone golem, they attack purely using their body strength. This is the reason why we are having difficulties sensing them. Furthermore, they have no vital signs, and they only know how to attack anything they come across, sneakily. Luckily, once we shatter them, they will be completely dead."

Han Yan and Nangong Wentian both had solemn expressions. The danger lurking within the dark was the most frightening one. They didn't understand anything about these stone golems, and had no idea why these creatures existed here. With these mysterious stone golems, the path in front of them wouldn't be peaceful any longer!

Chapter 315 - Fury of the Two Superpowers

Jiang Chen looked around and found nothing. Aside from the white fog hovering around, there was nothing else to be seen. Even when all of them scanned the dimension with their Divine Sense, there was still nothing to be found.

"Let's continue walking. Try to walk close to each other; caution is the parent of safety."

Jiang Chen told everyone.

"Damn it! There's nothing in this stone golem, not even a demon soul! This is boring!"

Big Yellow murmured to himself. For a weird creature like this stone golem who lived in another dimension, he thought there might be some extraordinary treasures in its body, just like the Nine Life Crystal Beast back in Inferno Hell. But, to his disappointment, after the stone golem was killed, it only left behind a pile of rocks. Not even a single strand of fur.

"This stone golem doesn't even have Yuan energy, how could it have a demon soul? But, fighting these sneaky stone golems in this space could really train your senses."

Jiang Chen patted Nangong Wentian and Han Yan's shoulder. Fighting a high focus battle such as this could really help train a warrior's soul energy and senses.

The group continued their journey. After walking for about half an hour, they found another dead body. The body's condition was exactly the same as the previous one they had found; they head had exploded from just a single punch. Judging from the scene, there hadn't been any fighting, so this man must have instantly been killed.

Whoosh!

A chilling breeze suddenly emerged from nowhere. A stone golem suddenly appeared in front of Big Yellow just like a ghost, and then it threw is huge ancient looking fist toward Big Yellow's head.

Bam!

When the stone fist hit Big Yellow's head, the usual scene where a head would explode didn't play but, but instead, the stone golem's arm was shattered by the backlash.

"Kaka, with just that weak strength you're destroy this master dog's head? You're too weak!"

Big Yellow happily started laughing. He suddenly dashed forwards, and crushed the stone golem into many pieces with his head, sending pieces of rock flying in all directions.

"Fuck! Big Yellow, how did you train your head? It's so incredible!"

Nangong Wentian gave Big Yellow a thumbs up. He simply threw himself onto the ground in admiration.

"Big Yellow's head is the hardest thing I've ever come across. If those stone golem only focuses on attacking the head, Big Yellow won't have to spend any effort in defending himself. He can just stand there and let them attack him without any worries."

Han Yan had huge confidence in Big Yellow's head. Not even a High-Ranked Combat Weapon can break his head, let alone these stone golems.

While they were talking, another breeze quietly came by. After that, another stone golem appeared right behind Nangong Wentian.

"Humph!"

Nangong Wentian coldly harrumphed. He responded very quickly. In an instant, he turned around and threw a powerful punch at the stone golem. The punch was so powerful that it produced an explosive sound as it went through the air. There was also a shadow of a barbarian elephant above him. With just this punch alone, the stone golem was shattered into ashes.

"Jiejie, everything will be destroyed in front of my Ten Thousand Everlasting Elephants skill, kaka!"

Nangong Wentian let loose a narcissistic laughter.

"Brother, wake up! This stone golem is only equal to an Early Divine Core warrior, and it also doesn't have any Yuan energy! All it used was its body's strength!"

Han Yan pulled Nangong Wentian's shirt, hinting at him not to be so narcissistic.

Nangong Wentian let out a small cough. Suddenly, he felt it wasn't really worth showing after killing an Early Divine Core monster, as many people would be able to do so if attacked face to face.

"But, your Ten Thousand Everlasting Elephants skill looks pretty amazing."

With Jiang Chen's eyesight, he could clearly tell how amazing Nangong Wentian's skill was. If he cultivated the skill to the peak, he would be able to possess the strength of 10,000 elephants. This was something really incredible!

"Of course!"

Nangong Wentian became proud of himself once more.

During the next two days, the group continued walking this path, and it was as if there was no end to it. Along their way, they were continuously attacked by hidden stone golems. But, with their strength, no matter how good a stone golem hid itself, it would still die. Bot Han Yan and Nangong Wentian's senses had improved a lot during these two days.

Bam!

Sensing ripples coming from a direction, Han Yan punched out towards the direction with his devil energy covered fist. In an instant, a cracking sound was heard, and a pile of rocks fell down from the direction.

Along their way, the group had killed more than a hundred stone golems. It seemed like there were countless stone golems in this area, as no matter how many they killed, it seemed like more would come.

"Damn it! This master dog can't stand this anymore! When are we going to reach the end of this fucking path?!"

Big Yellow said in a gloomy manner.

"I wouldn't have chosen this path if I knew we'd have to walk for so long..."

Han Yan also had a gloomy expression.

"You guys really think the other paths are shorter and safer? Let me tell you, none of these paths are safe. If my guess is correct, all the warriors on the other paths must be experiencing different kinds of dangers, or it might be the same as what we are facing."

Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

While Jiang Chen and group was fighting seemingly endless waves of stone golems, a huge sword and a warship arrived outside the Island of Ice.

The huge sword and warship were both powerful magical weapons, and there were dozens of people standing on each weapon. They were from the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan; these two superpowers were the fastest out of all superpowers to arrive here. In just two days, they arrived at the Island of Ice.

Staring at the gigantic Island of Ice floating in the icy ocean, these people couldn't help but start panting.

"The Island of Ice has reappeared, I never thought I'd be able to see it once again during this lifetime."

The old white-bearded man emotionally said.

"Old Whiteghost, look at you, I'm sure you've never seen something so huge in your life before."

The Combat Soul warrior from the Shangguan Clan said in a sarcastic manner. The Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan had been enemies for a long time, and them not fighting upon seeing each other was rare. But still, they wouldn't let go of any opportunity to mock each other.

"Shangguan Hui, don't be so excited, I believe you are nervous regarding the reappearance of the Island of Ice. It's still uncertain who will get the most out of this trip!"

Old Whiteghost angrily replied as he glared at Shangguan Hui.

After both superpowers exchanged hateful speech, the immediately flew toward the Island of Ice's illusionary entrance.

Plop... plop...

Just as the ones who entered before, these mighty big shots immediately dropped onto the ground, and started feeling dizzy because of the impact.

"What's going on?"

Someone cried out in alarm.

"There is a force restricting our cultivations here, I'm only an Early Mortal Core warrior right now! How bizarre."

Shangguan Hui's expression flickered.

"Sect Elder, look there, so many dead bodies!"

A young disciple from the Myriad Sword Sect immediately cried out shock upon seeing the bloodbath and all the bodies.

"Let's go check it out."

The group soon after approached the dead bodies. When they saw the faces belonging to these bodies, the expressions of every changed dramatically.

"Absolutely disgraceful! Who did this?!"

Old Whiteghost's beard trembled because of his anger. Fury violently erupted within his heart.

"Third Grandpa, this is Sixth Grandpa's body, and all those who came with him are dead as well!"

The face of a young man from the Shangguan Clan turned pale, and he gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Senior disciple Lin Anying was killed as well, which bastards have the guts to do this!? How dare they kill all the men from the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan?!"

All the disciples from the Myriad Sword Sect were furious. As disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect, no matter where they went, they were supreme existences, and who would dare disrespect them? Those who wished to challenge them would have to deeply consider the consequences of doing so! This scene in front of them, nothing like this had ever happened before!

"Who did all this?!"

Old Whiteghost was really furious right now. The people who did this even killed a Sect Elder from the Myriad Sword Sect, this was a serious challenge to the Myriad Sword Sect's dignity! On the other side, the Shangguan Clan was facing the same situation. Back in the Eastern Continent, no one had the courage to challenge their sovereignty before! Even the Martial Palace and Martial Saint Dynasty had to give them face!

"No matter who did this, I will kill them and tear them into a million pieces!"

Shangguan Hui said while gritting his teeth tightly.

"Let's go! Once we leave this desert, the mysterious force will disappear! We need to find out who killed our men!"

Old Whiteghost coldly stated, then immediately afterwards, he led his men and dashed toward the end of the desert. With their speed, they quickly left the desert and crossed the plain field, arriving at the fork in the road.

Right at this moment, there were still many people standing in front of the nine paths. When they saw the men from the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan, many expressions changed. Judging from the looks on their faces, it was obvious that these people had seen the bloodbath in the desert.

Swoosh!

The young Combat Soul genius who was holding a folding fan in his hand pulled a rogue warrior towards him.

"Tell me, who did that?"

This young man's name was Ling Du, and he was a peerless genius from the Myriad Sword Sect. At his young age, he had broken through to the Combat Soul realm, and he was also a disciple of the Martial Palace. His background gave him a very prestigious status. Ling Du was at the Myriad Sword Sect to settle some matters, and that's when he found out about the reappearance of the Island of Ice. Without any hesitation, he followed his fellow disciples to the Island of Ice.

"It wa-, it was Jiang Chen. All your men were killed by Jiang Chen."

The rogue warrior mumbled. He dared not hide anything from them. Presently, the Myriad Sword Sect was incredibly furious, and if he hesitated, only certain death would await him.

"Jiang Chen? Which Jiang Chen?"

Ling Du asked in a cold tone.

"The Jiang Chen from Inferno Hell! There is a big yellow dog following him, and he also has two companions."

Sweat could be seen all over the man's forehead.

Slap!

Ling Du slapped the man's face. Then, he shouted out loudly, "Bullshit! What cultivation realm is Jiang Chen at? How could he have killed all those Combat Soul warriors?!"

"It was because of the desert's restriction, everyone were restricted to the Early Mortal Core realm! Jiang Chen has an incredibly strong body, making him invincible amongst warriors at the same level as himself! That's the reason why he could kill all those men!"

The rogue warrior repeatedly cursed inwardly; he felt really unlucky. However, he didn't dare neglect Ling Du's questions.

"He's speaking the truth; all you men were killed by Jiang Chen! He is a maniac!"

Someone added.

"Where is that Jiang Chen?"

Ling Du gritted his teeth tight and asked.

"He has entered the inner area of the Island of Ice."

The man replied.

"Good, Jiang Chen, good! I'm going to kill him, then I'll tear him into a millions pieces! Let's go, we need to proceed to the inner parts of the Island of Ice!"

Shangguan Hui unleashed his energy, getting ready to step onto one of the paths in front.

"You can't go further!"

Someone suddenly shouted. Someone had to stop Shangguan Hui from going further, otherwise, he would die in an instant. With that, the Shangguan Clan would blame them for not telling them about this weird rule, and they might kill them all out of fury. Everyone knew this would happen.

Therefore, they had to remind them about this. This was not to please the Shangguan Clan, but to help keep them safe.

Chapter 316 - Endless Killing

Shangguan Hui who was about to step onto the path suddenly turned around and threw a fierce glance at the man who just spoke, "Why can't I step onto this path?"

"Sect Elder Shangguan, these paths have a weird rule; only under 30 can step onto it safely. As for those over 30, they will be instantly killed."

The man said.

"What?!"

Old Whiteghost and Shangguan Hui shouted at the same time. They both had similar shocked expressions on their faces.

"What he said is correct, anyone over 30 will die the second they step onto that path. Many people died before you got here. If it wasn't like this, why would we still be standing here?"

Old Man Ling Shan added.

"Third Grandpa, we never thought the Island Of ice had such a selective process. What should we do now?"

A genius from the Shangguan Clan looked at Shangguan Hui and asked.

"Looks like this Island of Ice is only for the younger generations. Fine, since I can't proceed further, Yilong, Yilei, both of you bring the rest of the men and proceed further. Find that Jiang Chen and kill him!"

Shangguan Hui turned toward two young men with imposing appearances. Both of them were very strong, they were at the Combat Soul realm, although only the early stage. But, such a mighty cultivation at such a young age, it really told everyone how extraordinary these two young men were. They were both peerless geniuses amongst the younger generation.

"Rest assured, Third Grandpa! Once I reach the inner parts of this Island of Ice, even if that Jiang Chen has three heads and six arms, I'll crush him like an ant! I'm going to humiliate him with whatever methods I have, and only after having done so will I kill him! I will let him know the consequences of offending the Shangguan Clan!"

Shangguan Yilong said in a cruel manner. As one of the best warriors from the Shangguan Clan's younger generation, he was a man full of pride, that's why he didn't take Jiang Chen seriously. He knew Jiang Chen was only a Divine Core warrior, and that meant he was just a tiny little ant in front of him. Once he found Jiang Chen, he would be able to kill him with just a finger.

Although Jiang Chen had killed many Combat Soul warriors, that was all because of the desert's restriction. Under normal circumstances, there was no way a Divine Core warrior could beat a Combat Soul warrior.

"Humph! Jiang Chen's life belongs to me! Shangguan Yilong, Shangguan Yilei, the two of you better not get in my war! I'll make Jiang Chen lick my boot, humiliate him before sending him to hell!"

Ling Du from the Myriad Sword Sect coldly harrumphed. He was constantly waving the folding fan in his hand, and his arrogant attitude seemed to have no border.

"Ling Du, you better not be so arrogant! Let's see who has the ability to kill that Jiang Chen! Furthermore, since we are all here inside the Island of Ice, all of you from the Myriad Sword Sect better not provoke me! If you do, I will end your trip right here!"

Shangguan Yilong was even more arrogant. After saying those words, he turned around and led dozens of warriors from the Shangguan Clan toward one of the paths in front of them.

"Hmph! What shameless boasting; you simply have no idea how weak you are!"

Ling Du slapped his palm with the folding fan. If not for him needing to proceed further, he would have challenged Shangguan Yilong right away.

"Jiang Chen has to be killed, but those from the Shangguan Clan are too arrogant! If we bump into them, we have to teach them a lesson!"

Another young disciple from the Myriad Sword Sect said. His name was Xu Shuang, and he was a genius who had broken through to the Combat Soul realm not long before coming here. That's why he was so arrogant.

"Let's move, we have to go now."

In the blink of an eye, all the men from the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan had entered separate paths. Old Whiteghost and Shangguan Hui in front of the forked road with bored expressions. Although they were both Mid Combat Soul warriors, they were too old. They didn't have great potential, so it was really difficult for them to break through to a high stage and realm. Initially, they planned to find some opportunity in this Island of Ice, but now, they didn't even have the right to enter. The sudden transformation in their mood was exactly like that of all the other old warriors on the spot.

"The youngsters from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect are really arrogant, I really hate seeing their arrogant expressions."

Someone whispered.

"Shh, quiet! They are two fierce tigers, do you want to get yourself killed? Furthermore, they have the capabilities to be so arrogant! Just take a look at that Ling Du and Shangguan Yilong, they've broken through to the Combat Soul realm at such a young age. We just can't compare with them!"

Someone said.

............

Bam!

On the fourth path, Jiang Chen shattered a sneaky stone golem with a powerful punch. Along their journey, Jiang Chen had lost count of how many stone golems he had killed.

As they progressed further, Nangong Wentian and Han Yan's expressions were gradually getting heavier and heavier, because the further they travelled, the more stone golems appeared. Sometimes, multiple stone golems would appear at the same time, and it was almost impossible for them to effectively defend against that.

But luckily, those stone golems weren't really strong. As long as the group wasn't caught by surprise, with their abilities, there was nothing they really needed to worry about.

And, being constantly sneak attacked like this, both Han Yan and Nangong Wentian's senses improved significantly.

Right now, they just found another dead body in front of them. The warrior's head had exploded, and the blood on the ground had dried up.

"Sigh... This is the sixth dead body we've encountered. This man had some amazing abilities, as he made it this far."

Han Yan sighed.

"If my memory serves me correct, only six men stepped onto this path. That means that those who entered before us have all been killed."

Nangong Wentian had mixed emotions about this. This was indeed a miserable scene, and compare to those stone golems, these six men were all human. But, they died before reaching the inner parts of the Island of Ice. This made the group pity them.

"Fuck, this path is really bizarre, when are we going to reach the end of it?"

Han Yan cursed.

"Let's just keep walking."

Jiang Chen continued walking forwards with vigorous step. But, the following situation made them even more shocked, because the stone golems that continuously attacked them didn't appear once more. The path had suddenly become extremely quiet.

After walking for half a day in such a quiet environment, the path had finally come to an end. The white fog hovering around them had also disappeared.

"Little Chen, we've come to the end of the path!"

Han Yan felt really excited.

"There is a mountain range in front of us!"

Nangong Wentian started laughing in joy. The group continued moving forward with great speed. In the blink of an eye, they left the path and arrived at the mountain range.

"Be careful, there's something different about this mountain range."

Jiang Chen once again warned everyone.

Nangong Wentian and Han Yan threw examining looks around. After that, they both furrowed their brows.

"This mountain range covers 50 kilometers in all directions, but there isn't a single plant here. Furthermore, this mountain range has the exact same color as those stone golems we've fought so many times."

Upon noticing this, Han Yan's expression suddenly became ugly.

Buzz...

Right after Han Yan finished speaking, thousands of stone golems suddenly appeared within the mountain range. None of the stone golems made a single noise upon appearing, and they instantly started sprinting toward Jiang Chen and group.

"So many stone golems!"

Nangong Wentian was greatly alarmed.

"These stone golems aren't that strong, let's just fly above them."

Jiang Chen leapt into the skies after saying that. But, at the same time, the stone golems also flew up into the sky, blocking Jiang Chen's path.

"Die!"

Jiang Chen immediately threw a punch forwards. This was a powerful punch that could shake mountains, and it carried a scorching hot energy. With just this punch, dozens of stone golems shattered. After that, Jiang Chen continued flying forwards.

Han Yan and Nangong Wentian dared not hesitate. They immediately followed Jiang Chen, and they repeatedly unleashed attacks, killing the stone golems.

"This place can produce a near infinite amount of stone golems. Luckily, this mountain range isn't too big, so if we're fast enough, we will be able to cause a gap to appear between us and them, then we'll be able to get out of here."

Big Yellow's might was invincible amongst the stone golems. Using his majestic body, he constantly rammed in all directions, crushing all stone golems that got in his way.

The group slaughtered their way through. But, none of them every noticed, a mountain right in the middle of the mountain range was blinking brightly. Every time it blinked, more stone golems would appear within the mountain range. In just a very short amount of time, Jiang Chen and the group had been surrounded by stone golems in all directions.

But luckily, these stone golems didn't have any Yuan energy, and they were only attacking with body strength. Their attacks were similar to that of attacks from Early Divine Core warriors, and that just couldn't harm Jiang Chen and the group at all. But, regardless of that, they had to find a way out.

"Humph! Trying to stop me with these lifeless beings? All of you, shatter now!"

Jiang Chen coldly harrumphed. He waved his hand and unleashed the True Dragon Flames. The scorching hot flames could burn down anything, and when these stone golems were hit by the flames, they immediately melted down like butter.

The flame was a hundred meters long, and it looked exactly like a flaming dragon. It rammed forwards and burned down any and all stone golems that got in its way. No matter how many stone golems appeared in front of it, it would just melt them all down.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Chen loudly shouted. The group followed the flaming dragon's trail. With its help, they were able to move forwards without any resistance. Anything that got in the flaming dragon's way would instantly be melted down.

"Haha, what an amazing dragon flame, it's making way for us! Now we don't have to fear all those stone golems! This mountain range only covers about 50 kilometers in all directions, we'll quickly be able to leave this place!"

Nangong Wentian let out a belly laugh

But, his excitement didn't last for long. Once again, something strange was happening. Jiang Chen's dragon flame had been flying in front of them for more than ten minutes!

Ten minutes! With their speed, even if they faced constant resistance, they should be able to travel more than 500 kilometers, let alone 50! But, not only had the amount of stone golems not reduced, there seemed to be more and more with each passing moment.

"What happened? It seems like there are more stone golems around us! Looks like we haven't flown out from this area yet."

Nangong Wentian furrowed his brows.

"Damn it! Guys, look at that mountain peak! When we started flying, that mountain peak was right in front of us, but now it's still at the same spot! It looks we are still at the same spot after flying for so long."

Big Yellow finally discovered that. A gloomy feeling instantly emerged within.

"Indeed! This mountain range is really bizarre, as if it can move by itself."

Han Yan also found out what happened. They should have left the mountain range by now, but judging from the current situation, it looked like they hadn't even moved at all.

"Damn it, what an odd place! We're unable to kill all those stone golems, and if we can't leave, sooner or later we'll die from exhaustion!"

Nangong Wentian killed a couple of stone golems with his Ten Thousand Everlasting Elephants Punch, but it literally did nothing. More stone golems jumped into battle. If this went on, they wouldn't even have time to rest, and if they couldn't leave this place as soon as possible, they would die from exhaustion.

"There must be a reason for this. You guys just keep killing these stone golems, let me examine the landscape around here."

Jiang Chen retracted the True Dragon Flame and started circulating the Great Soul Derivation Skill, then he examined the mountain range's landscape. On the other side, Han Yan, Nangong Wentian, and Big Yellow surrounded Jiang Chen as they killed all incoming stone golems.

Chapter 317 - Garden in the Sky

Bang, bang, bang...

Han Yan, Nangong Wentian, and Big Yellow continuously attacked, shattering any and all stone golems that approached them, making sure that none of these monsters could disturb Jiang Chen. Within the center of the circle, Jiang Chen's eyes were shut as he constantly unleashed his soul energy. With the help of the Great Soul Derivation skill, the entire mountain range was under his surveillance.

They still stood at the same spot after flying for more than ten minutes, this told Jiang Chen how unusual this mountain range was, and there must be something behind it. Jiang Chen carefully inspected every single inch of this mountain range. Finally, he focused all his attention on an ordinary mountain peak located right in the middle of the mountain range.

Swoosh!

Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and two bright lights shot out.

"There is something wrong with that mountain peak. I can see a faint light blinking on it, and every time it blinks, more stone golems appear. As long as we destroy that mountain, we should be able to destroy all stone golems."

Jiang Chen pointed toward the mountain.

"Little Chen, the gap between us and that mountain peak is large, how are we going to destroy it?"

Han Yan asked.

"Whenever we move, the entire mountain range follows! This is too bizarre; we're going to be stuck here forever!"

Nangong Wentian said in a gloomy manner.

"Not really. I don't know if you guys have noticed this, although we are trapped in the same spot, our attacks can leave us and fly forward. The mountains around here move with us, therefore, what we need to do is just stance here and launch long distance attacks at that mountain. Once we've destroyed it, all problems will be solved."

Jiang Chen said.

"Although the gap isn't small, but with our abilities, it won't be too difficult for us to destroy it. But, these stone golems in front of us are really annoying! Little Chen, let's work together, you help me kill all these stone golems and clear a path for me, then I'll launch an attack!"

Nangong Wentian suggested. In his hand, the huge rule started glowing in an azure light once again.

"Alright. Six Profound Solar Fingers!"

Jiang Chen shouted out. The Six Profound Solar Fingers was the perfect skill for long distance attacks. In an instant, six gigantic golden fingers looking like six pillars capable of holding the heavens up appeared. Then, they merged into one single finger and thrust forwards with tremendous force.

The Six Profound Solar Finger was incredibly fast, as if it was a lightning bolt. It destroyed all stone golems along its way, and in the blink of an eye, the Six Profound Solar Finger had cleared a path. But, after killing so many stone golems, the force contained within the Six Profound Solar Finger had significantly dropped. Therefore, even upon reaching the mountain, it lacked the power to destroy it.

Right at this moment, Nangong Wentian attacked. He raised the gigantic ruler in his hand high up into the sky, causing the azure light to shine even brighter, just like the dazzling stars in the night sky. The gigantic ruler was called the Myriad Star Ruler. It was Nangong Wentian's natal weapon, and it used the power of the stars. It was an incredibly powerful weapon.

Nangong Wentian suddenly let out a shout, then he forcefully swung the gigantic ruler and unleashed a dazzling azure colored Milky Way. The Milky Way followed the path cleared by Jiang Chen, and thrust toward the center of the mountain range. It wasn't slowed down by any stone golems along its way.

Bang!

The attack unleashed by the Myriad Star Ruler collided with the mountain pointed out by Jiang Chen with a loud explosive sound. The solid mountain instantly shattered, just like all those stone golems.

Also, right after the mountain peak was destroyed, all the stone golems instantly disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.

Finally, the ground let out a long sigh of relief. Although they didn't fear these stone golems with their abilities, facing the constant attacks from a seemingly infinite amount of stone golems was no fun.

When the mountain range disappeared, the mountain range returned to its previous peaceful state. Aside from the destroyed mountain right in the center of the mountain range, everything around was still the same. Although they had fought for a long period of time here, there were no traces of a battle having taken place in this mountain range.

Buzz...

Suddenly, a buzzing sound could be heard from underneath the destroyed mountain. Also, ancient looks bright lights shot out from the same spot as well. A turmoil like was immediately attracted the group's attention.

"There is something inside."

Han Yan said.

"Wakaka, it must be a treasure!"

Big Yellow started laughing excitedly. He was the first one to rush toward the destroyed mountain. In the blink of an eye, he reached the destroyed mountain like a golden shooting star. When Jiang Chen, Han Yan and Nangong Wentian arrived, Big Yellow came out from the destroyed mountain, and there was an antiquated bronze plate in his mouth.

"Puh! I thought there was a precious treasure! What a waste of this master dog's time!"

Big Yellow spat the bronze plate out from his mouth. With quick hands, Jiang Chen immediately grabbed the bronze plate. The mountain peak was able to produce a near infinite amount of stone golems, and it also had the ability to trap them in an illusionary realm, so there must be something extraordinary about it. Therefore, anything found within would definitely be something unusual.

When Jiang Chen took the bronze plate, he immediately felt how heavy it was. But, when he looked at it, his eyes immediately opened up wide.

"Look at the bronze plate!"

Han Yan was immediately surprised upon seeing the bronze plate. Seeing the two men paying so much attention to it, Big Yellow walked toward them and finally paid some serious attention to the bronze plate. To his surprise, the bronze plate was actually identical to the bronze plate Jiang Chen had previously obtained.

"What's so special about this bronze plate?"

Nangong Wentian curiously asked.

Jiang Chen didn't answer Nangong Wentian's question, he instead took out another bronze plate from his storage ring, and placed each bronze plate on top of his right and left palm to compare them. Indeed, both of them were identical, and he couldn't find any differences between both bronze plates.

"The fuck? Both bronze plate are identical? Little Chen, where did you get this thing?"

Nangong Wentian was surprised.

"I got the first bronze plate on the Blissful Island. I never thought I would be able to find an identical bronze plate at this Island of Ice."

Jiang Chen was surprised as well. With his eyesight, he could easily tell that these were two identical bronze plates, and they were made using the same material.

And that's the reason why Jiang Chen was so surprised. He got the first bronze plate from an old man back at the Blissful Island. Clearly, that old man had no idea what the function of this bronze plate was, but now, it seemed like this bronze plate was not something ordinary.

"So, there was an identical bronze plate in this Island of Ice... Little Chen, this bronze plate isn't something ordinary, I'm sure all those stone golems are related to this bronze plate."

Han Yan said.

"There might be more than two of these bronze plates."

Big Yellow guessed.

"That's possible. But, let's not was any more time on this, I'll just store them away for now. They might be useful in the future."

After saying that, Jiang Chen stored away both bronze plates. Although the appearance of these two bronze plates didn't seem extraordinary, Jiang Chen knew they were something unusual.

"Let's leave this place."

Big Yellow said.

The group continued their journey within the mountain range. Only this time, there weren't attacked by any stone golems. Right before they left the mountain range, a white fog suddenly appeared in front of them, and prevented them from looking further into the distance. At the same time, they felt a cooling sensation.

"The environment here constantly keeps changing unpredictably, what a mess!"

Han Yan said in a gloomy manner.

"I sense no danger from the white fog in front of us. Once we cross this white fog, we might enter another universe."

Jiang Chen said with a smile. He started walking within the sky, and instantly entered the white fog.

Soon after, the entire group passed through the white fog. It was just like Jiang Chen had said; they had indeed entered another universe. In front of them was a great plain with a bright sky. But, what attracted them wasn't this beautiful scene, it was the huge garden that was floating high above them in the sky.

Precisely, a garden in the sky!

Right at this moment, figures of warriors could be seen lingering around the garden. All of them had the same excited expressions, and some of them had even started fighting each other.

Furthermore, there were more people dashing out from different directions. When these people saw the garden in the sky, they immediately flew toward it. Jiang Chen knew that these people were from the other paths, and there were more people on those paths than the one Jiang Chen's group chose.

Clearly, none of the other paths were as dangerous as the one Jiang Chen took, and there might have been some paths with no danger at all. As for the path Jiang Chen took, only three men and a dog came out whole. The rest had all died.

But, none of this was important. The important thing was, the garden's attraction was really powerful. Even from far, Jiang Chen could smell the refreshing air coming from it, as well as a strong smell of herbs. The smell of herbs caused all those who smelled it to feel relaxed and refreshed.

"Move! This thousands of years old ginseng was discovered by me!"

"Fuck you, I'm the one who broke the defense mechanism! You're weak, and still envy other people's result! There are so many herbs here, you can just go find something else!"

"What is that? An Ancient Yuan Jade? This is such a big piece, damn!"

"Look at that! That is the Glory Lotus King! An extremely rare herb in the outside world! Oh heavens, there are rare herbs everywhere! This garden in the sky is a gigantic treasure!"

............

Everyone arrived at the garden in the sky, and were excitedly yelling and shouting. This was because they kept finding rare herbs, herbs so rare there was no way they could see them in the outside world.

"Wahaha, precious treasures! There are indeed precious treasures here! This master dog has to go!"

While wagging his big tail, Big Yellow transformed into a golden light and flew toward the garden in the sky.

The others immediately followed behind. When they arrived at the garden, all of them were shocked by what they saw.

"Damn it!"

Nangong Wentian's eyes nearly popped out, as if he was looking at something that only exists within a dream.

"Fuck, this garden is at least 5 kilometers long in all directions! There are herbs everywhere, and many of them looks really old! If this garden was located in our world, all superpowers would fight to death for it!"

Han Yan immediately jumped on his feet. Compared to this garden in the sky, Guo Shan's herb plantation looked like a bull's shit. The difference between the two was huge!

Swoosh, swoosh...

More and more people arrived and dashed toward the garden. After the first batch of warriors came to the Island of Ice, more and more warriors came from all over. As long as the Island of Ice's entrance wasn't close, many youngsters would come here to seek an opportunity.

"All these guys are brimming with happiness, and they don't look hurt at all! We had to fight for our lives in order to reach this place, this is so depressing!"

Han Yan felt really frustrated.

Chapter 318 - Herbs Everywhere

Nangong Wentian and Jiang Chen had noticed all these warriors as well. Some of them were clearly injured, and it looked like they had experienced dangerous situation back on the paths they had chosen. However, it seemed like the danger they faced was less devastating compared to Jiang Chen. Also, there were some paths where no one emerged from. Clearly, those who stepped onto those paths had encountered great dangers, and perhaps they wouldn't even be able to leave that place.

As for those warriors who didn't encounter any dangers, they had long ago emerged from the path, and were hanging around in the sky garden right now. Who knew how many benefits they had gotten so far? It took Jiang Chen and the group two and a half days to leave the path.

Regardless of which path the people emerged from; they were faced with the biggest opportunity in their lifetime. This garden in the sky by itself was a gigantic treasures; each and every single herb here would provide great benefits to those who obtained it.

Therefore, the eyes of the people turned red, and everyone were excitedly yelling and shouting.

"Haha, this Fiery Dragonspirit Fruit belongs to me!"

A Divine Core warrior joyfully started laughing. He stretched his arm forward, grabbing toward the Fiery Dragonspirit Fruit. However, right before his palm could touch the fruit, a light curtain suddenly appeared and stopped the warrior's hand. At the same time, the man was struck by a backlash, and was forced 3 steps backwards.

On the other side, Big Yellow was drooling like a rabid dog. He tried eating a herb that was in front of him, but he too was stopped by a light curtain. The backlash even made his tooth ache.

"Haha, idiot, all these herbs are protected by a defense mechanism! You won't be able to put your hands on them without breaking the mechanism!"

"All these newcomers are just idiots."

............

Some people started laughing. Those who had arrived here first had discovered how it works.

"Damn it, there really are defense mechanisms protecting these herbs! This master dog didn't realize it because of the fluster, but, none of these mechanisms are going to stop this master dog, they are just too weak!"

Big Yellow spat a symbol out from his mouth onto the light curtain covering the herb. Immediately, the light curtain began vibrating, then it shattered right afterwards. Without any hesitation, Big Yellow leapt forwards and devoured the herb.

"This is strange, why are all these herbs protected by defense mechanisms?"

Han Yan glared at the herbs with eyes wide open.

"Without it, do you think there would still be so many herbs here? Not to mention this is only a garden with a 5 km circumference. Even a 50 km circumference garden would be emptied in an instant if there were no defense mechanism. Every single herb here is protected by a defense mechanism, meaning we have to break the mechanism before we can get the herb. Also, according to the rarity of the herb, how many years it has grown, and its value, the strength of the defense mechanism will be different as well. For the herbs with higher value than others and who are also old, their defense mechanisms will be more difficult to break."

Jiang Chen explained with a smile on his face.

Indeed, Han Yan and Nangong Wentian both saw many warriors restlessly working to break the defense mechanisms of those high-value herbs. One of the warriors stood in front of a Glory Lotus King, and his face had turned red. No matter how much strength he used, he just couldn't break its defense mechanism.

"There are so many herbs here, what are we waiting for? Let's move our asses!"

Nangong Wentian raised the gigantic ruler in his hand, and with a smile on his face, he arrived in front of a nearby herb and forcefully swung the ruler toward it. A bright glow could be seen coming from in palm, and in just an instant; the defense mechanism shattered. He just got his first herb!

"Those herbs with weaker defense mechanisms have been obtained by others, and the leftovers are all difficult to break. But, this also mean that these remaining herbs are really precious. Brother Nan, the method you're using to break the defense mechanism is too clumsy, breaking them by force isn't a smart thing to do, you're going to get tired really fast if you try to break a powerful defense mechanism."

Jiang Chen told Nangong Wentian.

"The fuck? Sounds like you know a lot, you aren't going to use force to break them?"

Nangong Wentian wasn't convinced by Jiang Chen. In his mind, Jiang Chen was an abnormal monster with incredible combat strength, and an amazing alchemist! But, someone like this was usually weak in the field of defense mechanisms.

Jiang Chen's lips curved upwards. He didn't say anything, but he turned to a nearby herb, and casually pointed his finger at it. In an instant, the defense mechanism shattered, and as if the herb was summoned by something, it flew onto Jiang Chen's palm by itself.

Jiang Chen continued walking forwards with vigorous steps. His fingertips were glowing brightly, and every time he pointed somewhere, a defense mechanism would shatter, and all herbs would just fly into his storage bag. He wasn't using any force at all.

This stunned a lot of the nearby people, including Nangong Wentian and Han Yan.

"This abnormal monster!"

The muscles on Nangong Wentian's face trembled. Finally, he had witnessed a real abnormal monster. With his eyesight, he could easily tell that Jiang Chen wasn't using any Yuan energy when breaking those defense mechanisms; he was using another kind of defense mechanism. In order to achieve this, Jiang Chen would have to be an expert in both offensive and defensive mechanisms.

Han Yan could still accept this. He had after all been following Jiang Chen for quite some time, and Jiang Chen's almighty image had been deeply rooted in his mind. No matter what amazing things Jiang Chen did; he wouldn't be too surprised.

"Damn it, are you bullying us?"

"Isn't that Jiang Chen? Is he a human? Not only is his combat strength incredibly formidable, and his alchemy skill amazing, he is also an expert in defense mechanisms and formations! He's simply killing us all!"

"Easily breaking defense mechanisms is like his second nature! If he keeps doing this, all the herbs are going to be his! No way, I have to work harder! This garden is a gigantic treasure, it would be a waste if I couldn't get more out of it!"

............

The warriors who had come to the garden in the sky the earliest couldn't stand it any longer. Jiang Chen's actions was like a slap to their faces.

Putting aside Jiang Chen and turning to Big Yellow; he was actually more brutal than Jiang Chen!

Whenever this dog passed an area, that place would become emptied. Whenever he spat a symbol towards a defense mechanism, his mouth would already be wide open, and he would be leaping toward the herb. And, when the defense mechanism was broken, the herb would be in his mouth.

"Damn it, what kind of dog is this? Can't any defense mechanisms hold him back?"

"This is insane! Isn't he scared his stomach will explode from eating so many herbs?"

"I can't stand it anymore! Daddy can't even compare with a dog?"

............

Many people felt like they were going to faint. This dog that appeared out of nowhere was really brutal; he was simply inhuman! Of course, he wasn't really a human...

Big Yellow swept across the garden and leapt across the herbs he liked, and he didn't care if there was any warriors standing in front of the herb.

"Damn dog, fuck off! This Ginseng is mine!"

A warrior shouted at Big Yellow. This warrior didn't participate in the Blissful Island's trade fair, so clearly had no idea how mighty Big Yellow was.

"Ruff! Fuck off stupid bitch!"

Big Yellow simply unleashed his energy, and the warrior was knocked far away. After that, he immediately devoured the Ginseng.

More and more people arrived at the garden in the sky, and the situation became more chaotic. Many people had started fighting amongst themselves, and because of Jiang Chen and Big Yellow, the amount of herbs was constantly lessening. Many warriors had grouped up and were working together, mainly because there were many herbs with strong defense mechanisms, and it was difficult for a lone warrior to break it.

Right at this moment, those disciples from the superpowers were in an advantageous position. They had high-quality weapons, and the teamwork between their fellow disciples was better than that of the lone warriors had temporarily decided to team up. Because of this, they were able to obtain many herbs.

Plop!

The guy who had spent over two hours trying to break the defense mechanism surrounding the Glory Lotus King couldn't do it any longer, and he simply fell onto the ground with sweat all over his forehead. It was pretty amazing to see a guy working so hard to get an herb. But, too bad, no matter how hard he worked, he just couldn't break the mechanism.

A huge dog head suddenly appeared above the warrior. Big Yellow curled his lips and told the warrior, "Hehe, you can't do this, let this master dog help you!"

Big Yellow simply stepped over the warriors and arrived in front of the Glory Lotus King. This herb was as tall as an adult man, and it glowed like a crystal. Clearly, it had grown for many years. It was a superior and rare herb that couldn't be found anywhere in the outside world.

Big Yellow was glowing brightly. He spat a symbol out from his mouth which formed into a defense mechanism, and it flew toward the defense mechanism surrounding the Glory Lotus King with tremendous speed.

The two defense mechanisms collided and produced a buzzing noise. Although the defense mechanism wasn't shattered with this, its light had been weakened.

"Sigh... This defense mechanism is really strong, even this master dog can't break it with one hit. But, it still can't stop this master dog. Break now!"

After saying those words, Big Yellow spat out a few mysterious symbols from his mouth. This dog had mastered the Heavenly Book of Source Formations, and he knew all kinds of defense mechanisms underneath the heavens, and was able to create advanced defense mechanisms such as the Spiraling Defense Mechanism. Therefore, no defense mechanism here could stop him, and if he was given enough time, Big Yellow would be able to devour every single herb here.

Those mysterious symbols light floated onto the defense mechanism. In an instant, the defense mechanism started violently trembling, and in the blink of an eye, a shattering sound was heard. The defense mechanism was shattered, and the bright Glory Lotus King was revealed in front of them. The smell made him feel very refreshed.

"The fuck?! Is this real?!"

When the warriors who was lying on the ground panting saw what happened, he really wished he could just kill himself by slamming his head into the ground. At the same time, he was gnashing his teeth in anger as he looked at Big Yellow. He had worked restlessly for that last two hours, but he still couldn't break the defense mechanism, and this dog had broken it in such a short amount of time! This made the warrior feel really depressed.

"Wakaka, the taste must be delicious!"

Big Yellow let out a belly laughter. Without any hesitation, he immediately leapt toward the Glory Lotus King, his saliva splashing all around. But, suddenly, a big hand grabbed the Glory Lotus King with incredibly great speed. The hand pulled it away, and it was instantly stored into the person's storage bag.

Fire nearly burst out from Big Yellow's eyes. Even his toe knew who was despicable enough to dare snatch his thing!

"Shameful brat! There are so many herbs around, why did you snatch the one that belongs to this master dog?!"

Big Yellow furiously stared at Jiang Chen who had suddenly appeared before him. White smoke blew out of his nose.

"Big Yellow, the Glory Lotus King is too powerful, I'm scared you won't be able to handle it, and will explode."

Jiang Chen's expression basically said, 'I'm doing this for your own good.'

"Get lost! Daddy wouldn't explode even from eating you alive! Give me back my Glory Lotus King!"

Big Yellow gnashed his teeth in anger. Although he knew that since the Glory Lotus King was in Jiang Chen's hand, and it was impossible to get it back, he still wanted to threaten Jiang Chen a little.

Chapter 319 - Shangguan Yilei

More people had arrived at the garden in the sky. Countless warriors were dashing around, and the herbs kept disappearing. All the warriors who arrived here were geniuses from the younger generation, and the rich herbs grown in this garden were more than enough to produce a few more geniuses. Since most of these powerful herbs were obtained by these geniuses, as long as they weren't unlucky and died here, once they left the Island of Ice, their cultivations would definitely experience a great surge.

"Everyone, stop what you're doing immediately!"

A loud shout suddenly resounded throughout the garden in the sky. Every turned their attention towards the source of this sound, and what they could see was four young warriors who had seemingly just arrived. Three men and one girl. The air around these four was haughty, and it seemed like none of the other warriors present could compare. The leading person was tall and muscular, even more so than Nangong Wentian.

"They are geniuses from the Shangguan Clan! I know that guy, his name is Shangguan Yilei, one of the top disciples from the Shangguan Clan's younger generation! He just broke through to the Combat Soul realm not long ago, I never thought I'd see him here!"

"Damn it, he has broken through to the Combat Soul realm at such a young age, I'm so jealous! But, look at his face, it seems like he came with hostile intentions."

"I'm guessing it has something to do with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen killed every single person from the Shangguan Clan in that desert, and I'm sure they're angry because of that."

............

The arrival of Shangguan Yilei caused the crowds to start discussing amongst each other. Some even had frightened expressions on their faces. Let alone the Shangguan Clan's formidable reputation, just Shangguan Yilei's Combat Soul cultivation was more than enough to shake everyone here.

The fact was, a genius Combat Soul warrior was not someone those ordinary Combat Soul warriors could compare with. Shangguan Yilei's incredible combat strength was far higher than that of Shangguan Chong, who had been killed by Jiang Chen.

Right now, all four geniuses from the Shangguan Clan threw their glances at the garden in the sky and looked at the half-empty garden. An obvious expression of greed emerged on their faces, as those remaining herbs were the most precious ones.

"Everyone listen, from now on, this this garden belongs to the Shangguan Clan, and none of you are allowed to take any more herbs from here!"

Shangguan Yilei's loud and clear voice shook the entire atmosphere. His words caused the expressions of all people to instantly change.

"Fuck! Why is the Shangguan Clan so arrogant?! This sky garden doesn't belong to them at all!"

"Damn it, they are trying to take over the entire sky garden! The Shangguan is simply too arrogant!"

"They have no right to do this, none of these herbs belong to anyone! Those capable will get what they deserve! If Shangguan Yilei is so strong, he should just break all defense mechanisms and take the herbs for himself! Declaring the sky garden belonging to them is just too much!"

............

The way the crowds looked at the Shangguan Clan had changed. All of them were gnashing their teeth in anger. None of these herbs belonged to anyone, and they were the ones who discovered them first. For what reason could the Shangguan Clan claim that this sky garden belongs to them?

"You guys have obtained quite a lot of herbs, don't be too greedy."

Shangguan Yilei said with a grin on his face.

Many people started inwardly cursing. Greedy? Who were the greedy ones here? Before you, the Shangguan Clan arrived, there were many geniuses from different superpowers who had already aside. Putting aside all the other superpowers... fuck, even someone as formidable as Jiang Chen didn't behave so greedily, this is ridiculous!

"Brother Lei has said it, all the herbs here belongs to the Shangguan Clan, and none of you are allowed to take another one!"

The female disciple from the Shangguan Clan added with a loud voice. Her seductive look caused many guys to gnash their teeth. Many of them started fantasizing about her.

Of course, they could only hide these fantasies deep within their minds. Furthermore, after the female disciple finished speaking, although the crowds were really unsatisfied with their claims, they had to stop immediately, and didn't touch an herbs in front of them. This included all those superpowers from the different provinces; none of them had the courage to offend the Shangguan Clan!

Bam!

Right at this moment, another defense mechanism was broken, and Big Yellow had devoured yet another herb! After doing so, he just walked straight over to another herb. On the other side, Jiang Chen didn't even take a single look at those from the Shangguan Clan, just kept walking toward different herbs and gathered them. Nangong Wentian and Han Yan were doing the same, and both of them were whistling with pleasant expressions on their faces. They worked hand in hand to break defense mechanisms and harvest every single herb they could.

The behavior of these four was extremely blatant. But, for some reason, the crowds felt really delighted upon seeing what they were doing. All of them were getting tired of the Shangguan Clan. Furthermore, most of them knew about the conflict between Jiang Chen and the Shangguan Clan. If there was anyone here daring enough to challenge the Shangguan Clan; that would be Jiang Chen!

"Bastards, are you all deaf? I asked you to stop!"

The female disciple behaved like a tigress. She was even more arrogant than that guy, she just straight up cursed at Jiang Chen and his group.

"Bitch, don't be so loud, who do you think you are?"

Big Yellow turned around and responded to the female disciple. After that, he continued digging in.

Many people inwardly gave Big Yellow a thumbs up. This dog was a being not bound by common sense, he was daring enough to call a genius from the Shangguan Clan a bitch! Just with his courage alone, he had won the admiration of the crowds. But, when they recalled what Big Yellow did back at the Blissful Island's auction... it was quite tame, actually.

Big Yellow's words set that female disciple ablaze; she instantly became furious!

"Damn dog, I'm going to tear you into a million pieces!"

The female disciple immediately dashed forward. Along her way, she retrieved a soft whip and whipped it at Big Yellow. The whip moved like a deadly poisonous snake. The female disciple was a Peak Divine Core warrior, and if this attack hit its target, any ordinary man would instantly explode.

Besides Shangguan Yilong and Shangguan Yilei who were Combat Soul warriors, all the other younger generation disciples from the Shangguan Clan had very strong cultivations; all of them were Late Divine Core warriors.

Shangguan Yilong had found something good in the path he had taken, so he hadn't arrived here with the other disciples yet. Shangguan Yilei who led four disciples was the one who had arrived at the garden in the sky first. But, he had never thought there would be someone daring enough to challenge the dignity of the Shangguan Clan.

Swoosh!

With incredible speed, Big Yellow moved and hid behind Nangong Wentian. But, it seemed like the soft whip was a living creature, as it immediately turned around and struck toward Nangong Wentian. It looked like it was going to kill Nangong Wentian as well.

"Hmph! How dare you challenge the mighty Shangguan Clan? You deserve death as well!"

The female disciple was extremely arrogant and rude. She tried killing Nangong Wentian as well.

"Fucking bitch!"

Nangong Wentian's gaze became cold. He instantly retrieved the Myriad Star Ruler from his storage ring. He raised the azure ruler high up into the air and forcefully struck at the female disciple.

Smack!

Both weapons collided, and the female disciple let out an alarmed cry. The soft whip was knocked out of her hand by Nangong Wentian's single strike. At the same time, Nangong Wentian's attack didn't stop there! With tremendous force, the heavy Myriad Star Ruler hit the female disciple's body.

Aahhh!

The female disciple let out a miserable shriek. A stream of blood shout out from her mouth, and like a flying kite that had its string cut, her body flew backwards. She looked like a withered flower right now.

"Sister Ling!"

A young man from the Shangguan Clan shouted. He sprinted forward and pulled the female disciple into his arms. To his shock, he found the female disciple's eyes to be tightly shut. After struggling for a few moments, her last breath escape from her body.

"Sister Ling! Brother Lei, Sister Ling is dead!"

The man stood up and yelled out.

"What?!"

Shangguan Yilei furiously shouted. He was so angry it seemed like fire was about to burst out from his eyes. Someone really dared kill a Shangguan Clan disciple? This is ridiculous!

"Kaka, Brother Nan, I never expected you to be so brutal! You didn't show that worthless woman any mercy!"

Big Yellow started laughing.

"She's just a bitch who only knows how to bark, she deserved to die."

Nangong Wentian shrugged his shoulders. He didn't seem bothered by it.

As for why Nangong Wentian was daring enough to kill someone from the Shangguan Clan, and why he could a Peak Divine Core genius with just a single strike? Many people were shocked and puzzled, while some were calm. They knew Nangong Wentian was with Jiang Chen, and the conflict between them and the Shangguan Clan had reached a stage where it couldn't be resolved. That's the reason why he didn't show any mercy. Furthermore, Nangong Wentian was a warrior who could fight a Combat Soul warrior! Killing a Divine Core warrior was just a piece of cake to him.

Deserved to be die?

Hearing what Nangong Wentian said, the other three Shangguan Clan disciples couldn't restrain themselves any longer, especially Shangguan Yilei. His gaze was locked upon Nangong Wentian.

"I don't care who you are, I want you to kneel down in front of Sister Ling and apologize! After that, kill yourself in front of her! If you force me to strike, I'll make sure you die in the most miserable way possible!"

Shangguan Yilei pointed his finger at Nangong Wentian.

"You're just a fart in my eyes. If you have the guts, let's fight now!"

Nangong Wentian was a person who never surrendered to a strong force. He simply raised the giant ruler in his hand, and pointed it toward Shangguan Yilei.

"You're courting death!"

Shangguan Yilei became really furious. With a step, he arrived in front of Nangong Wentian. He struck out with his palm and unleashed a bright earth-shattering palm toward Nangong Wentian.

"So strong!"

Nangong Wentian's expression changed slightly. This Shangguan Yilei was really strong, and Shangguan Chong simply couldn't be compared to him. If they were at the same level, Nangong Wentian would have no fear of him. But, the gap between the Divine Core realm and the Combat Soul realm was huge! With Nangong Wentian's current cultivation and combat strength, he was able to fight an ordinary Combat Soul warrior like Shangguan Chong, but when facing a genius like Shangguan Yilei, he would be on the losing side.

"Myriad Star Ruler!"

Nangong Wentian was an aggressive man. Without any hesitation, he swung the gigantic ruler in his hand toward the bright earth-shattering palm.

Boom!

Powerful shockwaves swept across the area. Indeed, Nangong Wentian was no match for Shangguan Yilei. He was knocked back by the massive impact, but, since his body was strong, the massive force didn't hurt him much. Han Yan had also helped him after he had been knocked back.

Roar!

Right at this moment, Big Yellow finally struck. He immediately unleashed the Soul Crunching Tune toward Shangguan Yilei. At the same time, Jiang Chen attacked from the other side. He unleashed three ferocious Flood Dragons which assisted Big Yellow.

Two formidable attacks! This caused Shangguan Yilei's expression to instantly change.

Especially because of the Soul Crunching Tune! He could feel a tearing pain from his soul. But luckily, he had formed his Combat Soul, and was able to respond quickly. He instantly took out his Perfect-Ranked Combat Weapon and managed to block Jiang Chen and Big Yellow's combined attack. Even so, he was knocked back a few steps, and his face had turned pale.

"How could this be possible?!"

Shangguan Yilei was terrified! Even with his combat strength, he was knocked back by two Divine Core warriors! This was absurd! Once again, he took a careful look at the man and dog in front of him. Then, he suddenly recalled the name, Jiang Chen!

Chapter 320 - Fight Alone

"They are so strong, even a genius Combat Soul warrior was knocked back by their attack? How can these few guys be so formidable? Shangguan Yilei is not an ordinary Early Combat Soul warrior, his combat strength is much more than that of ordinary Early Combat Soul warrior!"

"You know nothing, he is that Jiang Chen!"

"So he is Jiang Chen, he is the one who killed all those warriors in the desert... but he looks so young! What a ferocious man! But, no matter how strong they are, they are only Divine Core warriors, I don't think they can match Shangguan Yilei. He hasn't really used any mighty skills yet either."

............

Many people started discussing amongst each other. Some didn't know who Jiang Chen was, and were shocked by Jiang Chen's formidability.

Many warriors here were from different superpowers of the Eastern Continent, and there were a few warriors from the Qingyi Secy. They too hated Jiang Chen to the core, but they still didn't have the courage to attack him.

"So, you are that Jiang Chen?"

Shangguan Yilei's sight landed on Jiang Chen's face, and he asked while gnashing his teeth in anger. That's right, he was gnashing his teeth! The dead bodies of those from the Shangguan Clan were still lying in the desert, and this young man in front of him was the reason why. Shangguan Yilei had promised the Shangguan Clan's Elder before he came here that if he found Jiang Chen, he would humiliate him and make sure he dies in the most miserable way possible. And now, the person he was looking for was standing right in front of him. What caused him to be even angrier was that another bastard had just killed their sister, Ling. The enmity between the two sides had become even worse now.

"That's right, I'm Jiang Chen. You guys from the Shangguan Clan are too arrogant, the herbs here don't belong to anyone, and you guys simply claimed they were yours without even taking the feelings of all the others here into consideration? Even I can't stand you guys any longer."

Jiang Chen started laughing as he spoke, and he purposely added some words of provocation. Jiang Chen knew the enmity between himself and the Shangguan Clan couldn't be resolved, and since that was a fact, he wouldn't waste his time trying to be nice to them.

"Jiang Chen, you're extremely daring! Not only did you kill Shangguan Wei, the Shangguan Clan's Elder in Inferno Hell, you also killed a lot of people from the Shangguan Clan in the desert! No one underneath the heavens has ever dared do this to our clan! Today, you're going to hell even if you have ten lives!"

Shangguan Yilei unleashed his energy, and his murderous spirit soared.

"I only have one life, but I'm afraid you're not capable of taking it."

Jiang Chen wasn't bothered by the warning.

"Hmph! Jiang Chen, let me tell you this, I wasn't using all my strength just now. In my eyes, you're all just tiny ants. If you kneel down before me and kowtow, I'll consider giving you all quick deaths."

Shangguan Yilei coldly harrumphed, and his energy was much stronger now than it was before. A Combat Soul warrior had formed a real Combat Soul within his body, and their strength was not something a Divine Core warrior could compare with. Also, Shangguan Yilei was a genius, not some ordinary Early Combat Soul warrior. Although he was knocked back by Jiang Chen and Big Yellow some moments ago, he had fully recovered now. As long as he attacked with all his strength, he would be able to kill these men in front of him in an instant.

"Why does everyone from the Shangguan Clan wear the same shitty expression on their faces? And why can they only talk bullshit?"

Han Yan sarcastically answered.

"Young brat, you haven't even grown hair down there! Yelling in front of this master dog, really reckless! This master dog suggests you get the fuck outta here right now, then you mighty perhaps be able to keep your life! If you don't, you will see that same ending as that bitch lying on the ground!"

Big Yellow's speech was even wickeder.

"Hmph! You're all just daring rascals, I'll be the one to end your lives! Thundercloud Storm!"

Shangguan Yilei was furious, and he didn't waste his breath any longer. He took a step forwards and turned into a strong wind, then he appeared in front of Jiang Chen and the group. He unleashed a powerful thunderstorm toward Jiang Chen and the group.

"True Dragon Palm!"

"Ten Thousand Everlasting Elephants!"

"Nine Devil Waves!"

"And also this master dog!"

The group attacked at the same time! A gigantic blood red dragon claw descended from the skies above. Nangong Wentian unleashed a golden savage elephant as large as a small hill, and it looked really formidable. Han Yan's cultivation was slightly weaker, but the Ancient Divine Devil gave him mighty strength as well. Devilish energy fluctuated around his body, causing him to look like a Devil King. On the other side, Big Yellow spat out a golden beam, which shot forward with an incredible force.

Bang!

The four combined attacks collided with Shangguan Yilei's Thundercloud Storm, and everything in the center of the battlefield was destroyed. The collision caused a shockwave to explode out, and many people who stood close to the battlefield immediately fled the scene with terrified expressions.

The space surrounding the collision was directly beaten into chaos. Smoke emerged from the center of the collision, and a huge hole was created in the sky garden. Many of the herbs with weaker defense mechanisms were destroyed by this devastating force. It was a real pity.

Once again, Shangguan Yilei was knocked back three steps, and the shocked expression on his face was even thicker than last time. The strength of these four guys was beyond his imagination! He was a Combat Soul genius, but these four Divine Core warriors had just knocked back! This was something that didn't even happen in his wildest dreams!

Of course, Shangguan Yilei had no idea what kind of abnormal monsters these guys were. Jiang Chen had 2,200 Dragon Marks, giving him the ability to fight ordinary Combat Soul warriors. If he formed more Dragon Marks and reached the Peak Mid Divine Core realm, or even the Late Divine Core realm, he would be able to kill Shangguan Yilei in an instant.

Nangong Wentian had amazing talent, and although it was unclear what kind of physique he had, it was certainly incredibly strong! Although he was only a Peak Divine Core warrior, his combat strength was no less than that of Jiang Chen! He was also able to fight Early Combat Soul warriors like Shangguan Chong.

As for Big Yellow, he was the descendant of the Dragon Horse! Although his bloodline wasn't fully awakened, its mightiness was slowly being revealed! With just a Late Divine Core cultivation, he was able to fight any ordinary Early Combat Soul warriors!

Han Yan was still a Peak Mid Divine Core warrior, just one step away from the Late Divine Core realm. Compared to Big Yellow and Nangong Wentian, he was indeed weaker. But, his combat strength couldn't be excluded either. The combination of these four abnormal monsters was more than enough to fight Shangguan Yilei.

"Kaka, young brat, you better go back and train for another two years! With just those abilities, you're trying to occupy the entire sky garden?"

Big Yellow said with a laugh.

At this moment, another two young disciples from the Shangguan Clan flew up to Shangguan Yilei. One of them said with a vicious voice, "Brother Lei, we don't have to be nice to them anymore, let us help you!"

"Back off, you guys are not their match. You'll just end up dying."

Shangguan Yilei replied to the guy. He and his opponents had exchanged attacks twice now, and he didn't have the upper hand either time. But, it gave him some basic understand of these four people's strength. These two disciples were only Late Divine Core warriors, and if they joined the fight, not only would they be unable to provide any help, they might just die in an instant.

Shangguan Yilei looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Jiang Chen, if you have the guys, fight me alone!"

"Ok."

Jiang Chen casually shrugged his shoulders and accepted the challenge without any hesitation.

Shangguan Yilei was startled by Jiang Chen's straightforward response. He was just probing, and he didn't expect Jiang Chen to accept his challenge. The current situation was pretty clear, none of these four were a match for him if they fought alone, but they were able to fight him when they worked together. Therefore, only an idiot would agree to fight alone.

In fact, Shangguan Yilei wasn't even serious when he said those words. But, unexpectedly... Jiang Chen was a real dumbass.

"You really accept the challenge?"

Shangguan Yilei couldn't believe it, and tried making sure once again.

"Of course. You and me, one versus one; let the Heavens decide our destiny."

With a refreshing voice, Jiang Chen agreed once again.

"Little Chen, why did you accept the challenge?"

Han Yan furrowed his brows.

"Yea, this guy is really strong. With just you alone, I don't think you're his match. But, if we work together, even if we can't kill him, we can still piss him off."

Nangong Wentian couldn't understand why someone as smart as Jiang Chen would accept Shangguan Yilei's challenge.

"Do you guys know nothing? Little Chen is trying to use the pressure from that guy to break through to another level."

Big Yellow said while wagging his head. If there was one person who knew exactly what Jiang Chen was thinking, it must be this dog!

"Big Yellow is right, I need to break through to the next stage as quickly as possible and increase my combat strength. The geniuses of the Shangguan Clan are here, and I believe it won't take long for geniuses from the Myriad Sword Sect to arrive, or even those from the Martial Palace. At that point of time, there will be numerous geniuses fighting us, and we don't even know how many Combat Soul warriors there are. We have too many enemies, but we are currently too weak, making us an easy target for them. The fact is, all Combat Soul warriors who come here are less than 30 years old, and everyone single one of them is considered a genius, not someone Shangguan Chong or Mao Sheng can compare with."

Jiang Chen focused his eyes and looked around the sky garden. He continued speaking, "Besides, the environment here is on my side, actually. I want to strengthen my cultivation while fighting Shangguan Yilei; it's going to be a grand feast!"

"Grand feast? You're going to eat all the herbs here?"

Nangong Wentian asked in a surprised manner.

"That's right."

Jiang Chen smiled. All the herbs here were rare natural treasures, and many of them had grown naturally. They contained a massive amount of energy, and no one could immediately absorb them, except for Jiang Chen. With the Dragon Transformation skill, there was nothing he couldn't absorb.

Jiang Chen wanted to use this pressure to squeeze out his potential. With that, he would be able to devour the herbs and absorb their energy without any restriction, and form new Dragon Marks while fighting. If there was an opportunity, he might be able to break through to the Late Divine Core realm! If he could do so, killing Shangguan Yilei would be no different than killing an ant, and he would have the ability to fight the other geniuses later on in this Island of Ice.

"Come!"

Jiang Chen roared out. With a step forward, he appeared in the skies above. The battle between him and Shangguan Yilei was definitely going to be extremely violent, and if he picked the sky garden as the battlefield, countless herbs would be destroyed by them.

"What is this Jiang Chen thinking about? Does he really think he has the ability to fight Shangguan Yilei?"

"Agreed. If the four of them work together, they might still have a change to defeat Shangguan Yilei, but none of them seems to have the ability to fight him alone. This Jiang Chen looks like a smart man, so why did he make this decision?"

"Let's just continue watching. Jiang Chen is definitely not an idiot, he has a lot of powerful approaches."
