Chapter 825

He slowly raised his head, fixing that calm, water-like gaze on the strange phenomenon above.

A hint of mockery curled at the corner of his mouth: "You want to stop me?"

Though he was surprised that switching to cultivating the Grand Ultimate Scripture on a foundation of Nine Revolutions Perfection had drawn heavenly tribulation.

He paid it no heed in his heart.

Boom—

Seeing the might of the heavenly tribulation swelling ever greater, the purple thunder-giant hand had already begun to show patches of pitch black within.

Jiang Daoxuan shook his head, stirred his mind slightly, and in an instant summoned his life-bound magic treasure, the "Grand Ultimate Diagram," to shroud the heavens above!

The moment the Grand Ultimate Diagram appeared, it surged with overwhelming imperial might, soaring skyward in a stupendous display of force to contend against the heavenly tribulation!

Bolstered by an Emperor-grade weapon, no matter how the heavenly tribulation assailed him, Jiang Daoxuan stood immovable as a mountain.

"This level alone is still far from enough…"

Jiang Daoxuan shook his head.

Though the heavenly tribulation was condensed from the will of the heavens, its power was ultimately limited, utterly incapable of shaking the Emperor-grade weapon in the slightest.

Then, perhaps seeing it could do nothing against the Grand Ultimate Diagram, the tribulation's might began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it dissipated entirely, leaving no further movement.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen and the others not far off were all dumbstruck.

They had never imagined that the Hand of the Heavens, which to them was utterly terrifying, would be so easily dispelled by their own clan head.

They gazed silently at the Grand Ultimate Diagram hovering in the high sky, eyes filled with an inexpressible shock.

To be able to withstand the heavenly tribulation head-on — just what tier had this magic treasure reached?

Doubt arose in their hearts, yet no answer could be found.

After all, the might of this treasure had long since surpassed the bounds of their experience!

As for Jiang Chen, who had once wielded the Grand Ultimate Diagram, he too now wore a stunned expression.

He had thought that using this treasure to seal the might of a Saint-grade weapon was already an extraordinary feat.

But after witnessing the scene before his eyes, he realized belatedly that the ability to seal a Saint-grade weapon's might was merely the tip of the iceberg of the Grand Ultimate Diagram — it had not even reached one ten-thousandth of the treasure's true power.

Jiang Chen swallowed, and cast a nervous glance at Jiang Daoxuan.

As scenes from the past resurfaced, the clan head's voice echoed once more in his ears.

"The future, after all, belongs to you young ones…"

Jiang Chen suddenly felt a pang of bitterness.

A clan head like this — can we really ever surpass him?

The more we chase, the farther away he seems to get?

If this keeps up, I'm afraid we won't even be able to see his back anymore…
