Chapter 739

Jiang Chen's figure had already vanished from the spot!

Kun Peng Treasure Art!

"What terrifying speed—could this boy really only be at the Sun Wheel realm?"

Nangong Zhantian marveled, yet suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

He whipped his head around, only to see an enormous fist hurtling straight at him!

Whoosh—

Seeing he could not dodge, Nangong Zhantian narrowed his eyes and immediately activated his divine ability, letting the fist fall!

The next moment.

At the instant the fist collided with his body.

Ripples spread across the surface of Nangong Zhantian's body, causing Jiang Chen to lose his footing for a moment—fist and all—and pass straight through him!

The whole process looked like Jiang Chen's punch striking the surface of water, or hitting a formless shadow with no substance!

Jiang Chen hurriedly steadied himself and turned his head to look.

Gazing at Nangong Zhantian's figure.

He could not help raising a brow, feeling a touch of astonishment.

He had not expected this Nangong Zhantian to possess such a marvelous technique.

Just then, Nangong Zhantian's face twisted viciously; he flashed forward, appeared right before Jiang Chen, and lashed out with a whipping leg!

Jiang Chen's gaze hardened, and he immediately raised both arms to shield his chest.

Bang—

The two collided, and terrifying force exploded outward!

A vast surge of Myriad Manifestation power burst forth wantonly, instantly sending Jiang Chen flying and smashing a mountain peak clean in half!

Rumble rumble!!

In an instant, boulders flew, dust billowed, and ash filled the sky!

The Nangong family elders watching this scene all burst into hearty laughter!

"Hahaha, the strength of an ant—how dare it shake the heavens?"

"A mere Sun Wheel realm cultivator, daring to challenge the Ancestor? Truly not knowing death from life!"

"He even dared to strike at the Ancestor—in my view, this man has already chosen the path to his own death!"

"The Ancestor is mighty! With that strike, this person is probably smashed to pieces, right?!"

In their view.

With their own Ancestor's terrifying cultivation of the ninth layer of Myriad Manifestation realm, combined with the bloodline of a Sage.

The strike that had just erupted could absolutely not be withstood by a Sun Wheel cultivator!

Even an ordinary Myriad Manifestation cultivator encountering it would likely find it extremely hard to take!

Without surprise, that young man from earlier is probably already dead from his body exploding, reduced to a spray of blood with not a bone remaining, right?

At this moment, Jiang Yi and Jiang Hao, who knew part of Jiang Chen's strength, naturally did not think their clan brother would lose to that strike!

But among the crowd, Hu Li and Yang Li wore worried expressions, feeling rather uncertain.

Hu Li carefully glanced at Jiang Xiaobai: "Lord Bai, do you truly think this Jiang Chen can win?"

Jiang Chen, as the master's nephew and the leading figure among the clan's younger generation, is highly valued by the master.

So they were deeply concerned about Jiang Chen's safety.

After all, if anything were to happen to Jiang Chen, given the master's temperament, quite a few people would likely suffer terribly.

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes grew thoughtful, and he murmured: "Logically speaking, Jiang Chen's cultivation base is only at the second layer of Sun Wheel realm, while this Nangong Zhantian's cultivation base is at the ninth layer of Myriad Manifestation realm—such a vast gap means Jiang Chen has absolutely no chance of victory....."

Hearing this, Hu Li and Yang Li felt a chill of shock!

They had not expected that the person who had come to the gates of Cangwu Mountain to keep clamoring.

Actually possessed cultivation at the ninth layer of Myriad Manifestation realm, a supreme powerhouse of Great Qin on the same level as Yuwen Feng!

Of course, if such an enemy were left to the master to handle, he would naturally be a minor figure dealt with in a snap.

But leaving it to the still-young Jiang Chen to resolve is truly hard to set one's mind at ease.

However, just then, Jiang Xiaobai added:

"However, after not seeing him for several months, I always feel there's something off about this Jiang Chen boy now, but I can't pinpoint exactly what—truly strange."

"But the one thing I can be certain of now is that today's matter certainly cannot escape the master's eyes!"

"Since the master did not stop Jiang Chen when he chose to accept the fight, he must have full confidence in him. From here on, we only need to quietly watch how things unfold."

"If the situation turns bad, I will personally step in....."

Hu Li and Yang Li nodded in full agreement.

Lord Bai speaks true.

Since the master himself sees no problem and chose to let Jiang Chen act.

Then what need is there for us to worry?

From here on, we only need to quietly enjoy this fine show.

On the other side.

Nangong Zhantian still stood towering high above.

He gazed down at the earth, and not the slightest hint of ease appeared on his face.

Only because within his perception.

Jiang Chen's aura had not only failed to vanish, but was in fact perfectly steady—clearly he had not suffered any injury.

Upon realizing this.

Nangong Zhantian's gaze shifted slightly as he murmured, "Truly beyond my expectations. Clearly only at the second level of the Sun Wheel realm in cultivation base, yet possessing strength comparable to an ordinary Wanxiang. Such talent is rare in all the world!"

Having spoken, he suddenly changed the subject:

"Heh, I've changed my mind."

"Now, if you are willing to submit to my command and serve me, then I can leave Cangwu and not fight your clan leader, sparing him the worry of defeat and preserving his dignity!"

His words fell.

Jiang Chen immediately walked out from the pile of broken rocks.

He raised his head, looked upward, and showed disdain on his face.

"Submit? Go dream your sweet spring-autumn dream!"

Jiang Chen roared in anger.

He then rose into the air, soaring toward the heavens once more, charging at Nangong Zhantian to kill!

Seeing this, Nangong Zhantian's face hardened with ruthlessness, immediately preparing to use absolute strength to suppress his opponent and then subdue him!

However, before he could act, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!

A strange phenomenon appeared in the heavens!

A towering figure manifested from the nine heavens above!

That figure's appearance was identical to Jiang Chen's!

At this moment, he sat high in the nine-layered heavens, wreathed in mysterious yellow qi, looking down upon all the worlds, like an Immortal King descending upon the world!

This was the unique phenomenon of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body:

Immortal King Descends Upon the Nine Heavens!

The moment the Sacred Body phenomenon activated, a terrifying pressure swiftly enveloped Nangong Zhantian, causing him to be somewhat suppressed!

"This kind of phenomenon... this boy actually possesses the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body?!"

"But how is that possible? In a small place like ours, how could such an invincible physique be born?! This shouldn't be!!"

Nangong Zhantian's pupils contracted, his expression suddenly changing drastically, becoming solemn for the first time!

Back when he had obtained the inheritance of the progenitor Nangong Sheng.

He had gained much unknown information from it.

Among them were records of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!

Recalling the various terrifying descriptions about the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

Nangong Zhantian finally began to take the youth before him seriously, no longer daring to hold the slightest contempt in his heart!

But the next moment, something that left him astonished happened again.

The void began to tremble!
