Chapter 684

Deep within the ancient road, on a battlefield brimming with spiritual energy and opportunities.

Hundreds upon hundreds of heaven-proud cultivators were locked in a great battle, scrambling to seize a Great Dao Spiritual Root.

This spiritual root had revealed its form from a crack in the earth, blooming with a thousand wisps of rosy light and ten thousand rays of brilliance.

There was the roaring sound of the Dao, and the interweaving of divine laws of order.

It was easy to imagine that this was absolutely a rare treasure of heaven and earth; if refined, one would become extremely attuned to the Great Dao.

It could even give one the feeling of instantly transforming into the Dao.

"This Great Dao Spiritual Root is mine!"

"Dream on, no one is to snatch it from me!"

Uproar and shouts of killing rose from all sides.

And it was precisely amidst this chaos.

A snow-clad, graceful figure, like a flying immortal from beyond the heavens, drifted through the dust.

Her immortal bearing was ethereal, and the sound of the Dao rumbled.

As her graceful figure lightly stepped, heavenly flowers fell, and lotuses bloomed with every step.

"It's the Jiang Clan Goddess who has come!"

Someone shouted, though it was unclear who.

The entire noisy battlefield seemed to have calmed down.

Many male heaven-proud cultivators could not help but cast their gazes over, their eyes unable to hide a trace of amazement and infatuation.

The Jiang Clan Goddess, Jiang Shengyi, who possessed the Innate Dao Embryo, was absolutely one of the most stunning goddess-level figures on the Ultimate Ancient Road.

At this moment, although Jiang Shengyi was surrounded by vast immortal radiance, one could vaguely glimpse her hazy, true appearance.

Her immortal face was like a painting, her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were like autumn water.

Her snow-white hair danced, each strand crystalline, and her robes fluttered, as if an immortal had descended into the mortal world.

Her pure white jade body was tall and slender, and outlined by the snow-white robes, her curves were perfect.

She possessed an otherworldly, peerless temperament, like a snow lotus born on the peak of the Heavenly Mountain, unstained by dust.

"Everyone, this Great Dao Spiritual Root is of great use to Shengyi, my apologies to you all."

Jiang Shengyi parted her lips, her voice like an oriole emerging from a valley, stirring the heart.

"Not at all, not at all, it's just a mere Great Dao Spiritual Root, just give it to Fairy Shengyi."

"That's right, whoever dares to snatch it from the Jiang Clan Goddess, I'll smash his dog head!"

It was merely a single sentence, yet a group of sycophants immediately began fawning over her.

There was no helping it; men are naturally fond of acting magnanimous in front of women, especially goddesses.

Although many people knew that Jiang Shengyi had long been enamored with Jun Xiaoyao, when it was time to perform, they still had to perform.

"Many thanks to you all." Jiang Shengyi smiled calmly.

If she could avoid using force, that was naturally for the best.

With her current strength, she had no need to fear anything.

However, just as Jiang Shengyi was about to harvest the Great Dao Spiritual Root.

Suddenly, two figures rushed out from the dense crowd, unleashing terrifying moves, both of which were ultimate killing blows.

"Followed me the whole way, finally couldn't help but make a move?"

Jiang Shengyi was not surprised; as her jade hand brushed out, hundreds upon hundreds of Great Dao divine chains emerged, interweaving with each other, covering the area like a dense spiderweb.

Boom—!

A massive explosion occurred here, with all sorts of runes and magic power pouring out.

"How can this be, who has attacked the Jiang Clan Goddess!" A heaven-proud cultivator couldn't help but exclaim.

"Surrender and be captured!"

Among the two figures, one spoke, unleashing a Moon-Fall Bell, intending to suppress Jiang Shengyi within it.

"Star-Slaying Blade!"

The other figure unleashed a blade brilliant with starlight, carrying the momentum to slash down the stars of the heavens.

"You are... the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Ancient Road!"

A chill appeared in Jiang Shengyi's eyes.

She also knew that the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Ancient Road loved to plunder heaven-proud cultivators and strip them of their bloodlines.

But she had not expected the Thirteen Great Bandits to dare set their sights on her.

But upon second thought, the Innate Dao Embryo was indeed a very attractive constitution.

"As long as the boss can refine your Innate Dao Embryo, he can then suppress Jun Xiaoyao and devour his Ancient Huanggu Shengti."

"By then, who will be our boss's match!"

These two were precisely the Moon-Slaying Bandit and the Star-Extinguishing Bandit from the Thirteen Great Bandits.

Although there had previously been a preliminary plan among the Thirteen Great Bandits to deal with Jiang Shengyi.

But the Greedy Wolf Bandit and the others were still in the midst of plotting.

And these two could no longer wait.

Jun Xiaoyao had already killed seven of the Thirteen Great Bandits.

This caused a surge of fury to well up in the hearts of the Moon-Slaying Bandit and the Star-Extinguishing Bandit.

They had also learned of the relationship between Jiang Shengyi and Jun Xiaoyao.

Therefore, they could not hold back and wanted to strike directly.

Jiang Shengyi had been fine before, but upon hearing that they also intended to strip Jun Xiaoyao of his Ancient Huanggu Shengti.

An incomparably cold chill and killing intent flowed out from Jiang Shengyi's eyes.

Her temperament changed instantly, as if she had transformed from a transcendent female immortal into a life-reaping immortal of death!

"Daring to scheme against Xiaoyao, your crimes are unforgivable!"

Jiang Shengyi channeled the Innate Dao Embryo, and endless Great Dao divine chains emerged from her side, piercing through the void.

At the same time, between her brows, one could vaguely see the phantom of a female immortal, emitting a hazy radiance.

On the battlefield, everyone was stunned.

It was the first time they had seen this beautiful and ethereal fairy reveal such cold killing intent.

"Is it because of the Jun Clan God Child..."

For some reason, upon thinking of this, many male heaven-proud cultivators felt a bit sour in their hearts.

The goddess they admired and were infatuated with was actually worried sick over the safety of another man.

"How is this possible, you were still hiding your strength!"

Seeing Jiang Shengyi's current cultivation aura, the Moon-Slaying Bandit and the Star-Extinguishing Bandit were filled with disbelief.

This was completely inconsistent with the intelligence they had received.

At this moment, Jiang Shengyi stood on the clouds, her dark hair dancing and her robes fluttering.

Clearly a peerless beauty, yet her temperament was now like a killing immortal, causing those all around to tremble with fear.

"Great Dao Prison, Dao-Slaying Blade!"

Jiang Shengyi's Dao techniques were peerless; numerous Great Dao divine chains interwove to form a prison, trapping the Moon-Slaying Bandit and the Star-Extinguishing Bandit within.

Afterward, Dao patterns emerged, condensing into a Dao-Slaying Blade, which swept across the two of them.

Puchi!

Their Dao was completely shattered, which also represented the extinction of their vitality.

"The boss... will not... let you off..." The Moon-Slaying Bandit's eyes bulged as he struggled to spit out a sentence.

The two great bandits had fallen.

Seeing this scene, everyone around felt a chill in their hearts.

This was by no means because the Moon-Slaying Bandit and the Star-Extinguishing Bandit were too weak, but because Jiang Shengyi was too strong.

"The Jiang Clan Goddess's application of the Innate Dao Embryo has simply reached the point of perfection."

"Before, some said Jiang Shengyi was just a vase by the Jun Clan God Child's side; now it seems that was a huge mistake."

"I feel that the Jiang Clan Goddess is enough to compare with the Immortal Court Emperor's daughter and the others."

Jiang Shengyi's performance left everyone around amazed.

After obtaining the Great Dao Spiritual Root, Jiang Shengyi left alone, leaving behind a trail of infatuated and amazed gazes.

"After refining this Great Dao Spiritual Root, the power of my Innate Dao Embryo will be further strengthened," Jiang Shengyi murmured.

On her jade finger was a ring, and at this moment, the ring released light.

A hazy immortal shadow appeared by Jiang Shengyi's side; it was a mature woman dressed in an immortal dress.

"Master, why have you come out?" Jiang Shengyi asked.

She had once discovered a ring in a certain place of opportunity, and inside the ring remained the remnant soul of this woman.

This woman was a female sect leader of a certain sacred land from the ancient times, with heaven-piercing strength.

What was even more coincidental was that this sect leader was also an Innate Dao Embryo.

Therefore, during this period of time, the reason Jiang Shengyi had become stronger and stronger, apart from her own opportunities, was also due to the guidance of the female sect leader.

They already had a master-disciple relationship.

"Who is Jun Xiaoyao, why is your reaction so big after hearing his name?" the beautiful sect leader said with a faint smile, full of gossip.

"He... he is my..." Jiang Shengyi couldn't find the words for a moment, and her cheeks actually flushed slightly.

Looking at Jiang Shengyi, who was rarely showing the demeanor of a young woman, the beautiful sect leader was also full of playfulness and teasing.

"He wouldn't be your man, would he?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengyi's beautiful face became even more like fire.

"Master, what you are saying..."

Looking at the beautiful and moving Jiang Shengyi, who was both angry and shy, the beautiful sect leader also sighed with emotion.

She had always seen Jiang Shengyi's performance; her temperament was calm and steady, not arrogant or impetuous, mature and intellectual.

And now, she had actually, rarely, shown the appearance of a young woman in love, which really surprised her.

Jiang Shengyi's eyelashes were thick and long; she gazed into the distance, let out a light breath, and said word by word.

"He is the most important person in this disciple's heart, so this disciple must become stronger to walk side-by-side with him, so he won't be lonely alone..."

Looking at Jiang Shengyi, whose expression had suddenly become incomparably serious, the beautiful sect leader also sighed secretly.

What kind of peerless, extraordinary man could make her excellent disciple so worried and willing to dedicate herself?
