Chapter 1029: Great Battle!!

Wang Yuhuan paused slightly, then turned back and said, "I've finally gotten such a chance to challenge Jiang Chen—I certainly won't miss it!"

"Don't you remember? Not long ago, I was ranked nineteenth on the Eastern Region's Heavenly Prodigy List? With this status, I naturally have the right to challenge him!"

Wang Yuhuan's face glowed with delight.

He had long wanted to challenge Jiang Chen, but knowing his own limits, he understood he was no match—and so he never acted.

But now, he was no longer fighting alone.

He could experience the opponent's might in this great battle, and finally understand just how vast the gap was between himself and this prodigy!

Only by knowing the exact size of the gap could he set a goal in his heart and strive desperately to close it!

Nie Wushuang sensed his combat intent and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "You're literally seeking suffering! Fine, fine, go ahead."

"Besides, everyone met last time—Jiang Chen knows you. When the fight starts, he'll probably hold back a bit on you; there won't be any real danger to your life..."

Knowing the man's stubbornness and that no amount of reasoning could stop him, he simply let him act.

Unlike Nie Wushuang's helplessness, Wang Yuhuan didn't overthink—he turned again and rushed toward the barrier!

Soon, all ninety-three prodigies arrived, gathering in a single cluster.

Opposite them, Jiang Chen's figure appeared slender, yet his aura was overwhelmingly oppressive—like a human sun, radiating brilliant light at all times!

Before this earth-shattering might,

Even as all ninety-three prodigies unleashed their auras in a tidal wave, they still could not suppress him!

Before the battle even began, he alone could withstand the combined auras of nearly a hundred prodigies at full strength.

Jiang Chen's strength was plain to see!

Seeing this, the three imperial dynasty prodigies led by Lü Yuntian and Qi Feichen all changed expression, their gazes growing grave.

Everyone realized Jiang Chen was far more terrifying than they'd imagined!

If they held back or grew careless, they might truly fail to overcome him this time.

The thought of defeat sent a shiver through every one of them.

Instantly, they resolved to give their all in battle against Jiang Chen!

Hu—

A light wind blew through, carrying a desolate chill.

Under their watchful eyes, Jiang Chen moved.

With a dull *bang*, his figure vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already before one of them.

He swung a casual punch, yet it unleashed immense power, radiating an aura of supreme dominance and invincibility!

Before the surrounding prodigies could react—or even see more than a flicker of his robe—one prodigy was blasted out of the barrier, eliminated in regret.

Lü Yuntian gasped in alarm and immediately spread his spiritual sense to establish real-time communication with the other prodigies.

Under his coordination, nearly simultaneously, every prodigy locked onto Jiang Chen and unleashed their deadliest techniques!

Boom—rumble!!

Roars erupted continuously, deafening the air!

Countless brilliant divine lights burst forth from the prodigies' bodies, shooting skyward in dazzling hues, overwhelming pressure filling the heavens, the spectacle colossal!

Shiiii—shiiii—

Every attack resembled arrows fired by ten thousand soldiers—dense as rain, falling from above, striking Jiang Chen!

Powers interwove, the menace growing even more terrifying!

Without exaggeration, the killing force within could erase ninety-nine percent of all Xiangxiang cultivators; even ordinary Primordial Spirit experts could only evade its edge, daring not to meet it head-on!

But this scenario was clearly unsuitable for Jiang Chen now.

Thanks to the supreme physical might of his Ancient Holy Body, the Immortal Flame's transformation of his meridians and internal organs, and the Emperor-grade supreme body refinement scripture, *Zhou Tian Xing Dou Jing*, though only at the Xiangxiang stage, his physical strength far surpassed that of Primordial Spirit experts!

So...

"This level of power is nowhere near enough—even a single hair of mine cannot be worn down..."

Jiang Chen shook his head and immediately revealed his cultivation base.

It was Xiangxiang... Third Layer!

With a single motion, he punched forward, producing deep, hollow sonic booms!

A colossal phantom fist shadow erupted from his hand, surging skyward, colliding with countless divine lights!

Explosions rang out continuously; vast numbers of divine lights were extinguished!

Occasional residual waves fell, yet not a single one could shake Jiang Chen.

Amid the stunned stares of all, Jiang Chen's figure flickered and vanished from his spot—his speed so astonishing no one could trace his movement!

Instantly, he appeared before a Sun Disc prodigy.

A sideways kick shattered the man's spiritual barrier; the terrifying force exploded outward, launching him and his magic treasure dozens of meters away, knocking into five other prodigies along the way!

As Jiang Chen halted his motion, he sensed a vast sword intent striking from behind.

He remained calm, lightly tapped his toe, sidestepped slightly, and evaded the sword by half a finger's width!

A casual glance revealed the attacker was Wang Yuhuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Interesting... but still too slow. If you trained diligently for another ten years, you might just graze my robe..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuhuan's face flushed with indignation—he unleashed his sword technique again, transforming into hundreds of sword shadows that surged toward Jiang Chen!

One glance was enough for Jiang Chen to see the technique's flaw: "All show, no substance. In the future, you should practice more with my younger sister."

His right shoulder shifted slightly; his palm shot out like lightning, shattering every sword shadow in an instant!

And under Wang Yuhuan's horrified gaze, Jiang Chen pinched the sword's blade between his middle and index fingers, halting it dead in its tracks.

Wang Yuhuan summoned all his strength, trying to pull the treasured sword back.

But the body-refining attainments he took such pride in were, before his opponent, like a toddler just learning to walk—pitifully weak!

At that very moment, a prodigy came charging from one side, sword in a single hand!

Jiang Chen raised his left hand and delivered a light palm strike; in an instant he shattered the protective Yuan Force, turning the attacker's face deathly pale and forcing blood to spurt from his lips—man and sword together blasted beyond the barrier!

After finishing all this, Jiang Chen looked back at Wang Yuhuan and said with a smile, "I'll give you three more chances. If you can manage to stab me, I'll grant you a fortuitous opportunity…"

Having spoken, the two fingers pinching the long sword loosened slightly.

His middle finger exerted force, flicked, and sent it shooting explosively away!

Seeing this, Wang Yuhuan hurriedly turned around to chase after his own sword!

Wang Yuhuan had barely taken his first step forward—

when a sound of tearing through the air rose from behind Jiang Chen.

He turned to look and saw a milky-white streak of light rushing toward him head-on!

Relying on his extremely powerful spiritual sense, he instantly discerned that it was a… flying dagger!

Its grade was astonishingly a mid-grade Heaven-rank item!

And the one who had unleashed this Heaven-rank flying dagger was none other than Lü Yuntian ahead!

Having watched for a long time, he finally could not resist making his move!
