Chapter 1217: 1217

Every time a divine body achieved a breakthrough, it faced a terrifying Lightning Tribulation and could die at any moment . However, if such an event were observed from another perspective, it would seem that a divine body was powerful just because it had to endure many Lightning Tribulations, one after the other .

After fifteen minutes had passed, the disturbance outside died down, and they couldn’t hear thunder rolls any longer . When the black clouds started to scatter, Jiang Chen went back to the Fortune Divine Tree . The crowd could feel a shocking aura closing in on them before Jiang Chen had even gone to the battlefield . It was only after they saw Jiang Chen that they ascertained that this aura emanated from him . The energy was really overpowering, and people who didn’t know him almost assumed that he was actually a Desolate Ferocious Beast .

Jiang Chen was tall and slim, and he even seemed slightly too thin . He was wearing a set of black clothes and carried himself with a sharp, confident air . At that moment, there was no unusual phenomena taking place around Jiang Chen, and he seemed quite ordinary . Still, everyone was clearly aware that Jiang Chen had been reborn once again .

“Let’s fight,” Jiang Chen said .

He didn’t waste his breath and just stepped into the center of the battlefield . Ji Yuan also didn’t stop, and he followed Jiang Chen closely . Both warriors stood facing each other, and their fighting spirit turned into a dreadful wave of pressure . The onlookers struggled to breathe . This time, Ji Yuan turned his right hand over, and a holy golden spear appeared in his hand . The pupils of many eyes in the audience contracted . Before, Ji Yuan had fought bare-handed, and he’d managed to fling away an actual dragon . But now, he was using a weapon . They didn’t need to think too hard about this to realize that a great battle was about to occur .

“A human can’t become the strongest among the myriad clans . ”

Even during a moment like this, some among the Ancient Race still didn’t believe in the Human Clan’s power . However, since they’d already said as much even though Jiang Chen had already put on a great show, it was obvious that they’d spoken out of spite . Accordingly, no humans paid attention to them or replied .

On the other side, Ji Yuan wasn’t only using a weapon, which was not the norm for him, it even seemed like he would attack proactively . A surging power emanated from the holy golden spear in his hand, affecting the whole region . Meanwhile, his dual-pupils, which were different from ordinary peoples’, moved around . All of a sudden, Ji Yuan attacked without shouting or crying . He waved his spear about, and a boundless aura emanated from it . It seemed like a demonic dragon had shattered the void . The strike gave rise to an immense wind and wreaked havoc .

“Ultimate Technique: Peerless and Magnificent Wind!”

Jiang Chen stood in the same place . It was obvious that he didn’t plan to dodge the attack . He unsheathed the Heavenly Fault Sword, and fused with it, as the wind and lightning blustered . Thirty thousand Lightning Symbols erupted out of the sword and instantly hit Ji Yuan’s holy spear .

Bang! A loud sound reverberated, and it seemed like the world would soon be destroyed . The spear shone as brightly as the scorching sun, and it emitted a golden light . It seemed like this light was about to purify the whole world!

The Wind and Lightning Sword, buried in the depths of the light, wasn’t extinguished . Instead, it shone brilliantly, and its light replaced the golden light . The outcome of this contest was like the outcome of the confrontation between the lights . It was Ji Yuan who’d attacked, but he still didn’t have the upper hand . He was even repelled .

A commotion rose among the audience . Such a maneuver clearly demonstrated Jiang Chen’s power . One of the Dragon Clan’s members, Long Fei, didn’t fight against Jiang Chen, but the crowd could still use him as a measure to compare the disparity between them .

“This sword strike fused the lightning and wind perfectly . He’s able to control lightning so well . ”

Lin Tianjian gritted his teeth, while disbelief appeared on his face . However, his expression quickly improved . He let out a breath and smiled bitterly while shaking his head . If Jiang Chen were only a little bit stronger than him, he wouldn’t be willing to accept him . But now, it seemed that, if he didn’t take sword techniques into account and just compared their fighting prowess, they clearly weren’t on the same level .

He had experienced the same feeling previously about Ji Yuan . Since Jiang Chen was able to fight against Ji Yuan, he’d managed to subdue many hearts . However, to return to the main point, Ji Yuan was merely repelled . He wasn’t injured and recuperated for less than a second before charging forward with his spear . The spear was like a dragon, while his brute power rivaled a heavenly god’s . Many people witnessing this scene trembled with fear . But Jiang Chen dealt with his opponent calmly . He waved his sword around and neutralized the threat .

“Both of them are holding back . ”

It wasn’t difficult for the crowd to figure this out .

“Is this the limit of the power of the myriad clans’ strongest expert?” Jiang Chen started mocking him .

Many people became worried because it was unimaginable how scary Ji Yuan could be if angered . What happened next demonstrated that their fears weren’t groundless . After Jiang Chen’s words echoed, Ji Yuan didn’t just become fiercer, he also used a commendable magical Technique . Ji Yuan’s two hands turned into six, and two new heads grew out of his neck .

“Three hands and six arms!”

The Ancient Race recognized this technique because it was one of the Wizard Clan’s famous magical techniques . This technique didn’t just provide Ji Yuan with additional hands, it also increased his fighting prowess three-fold . Moreover, if his three heads and six arms coordinated well as he fought, he could wield even greater power .

“I heard that the Wizard Clan’s last war god could increase his fighting prowess thirty-six-fold . I wonder what level Ji Yuan has reached?” one of the Ancient Race shouted on purpose .

“Thirty-six-fold?”

The the hearts of all humans present sank . Wasn’t this statement utterly outrageous and ridiculous? However, they shortly discerned that it was probably true . Ji Yuan’s body transformed, and he was able to turn the tide of the battle . Jiang Chen was caught off guard . He was forced to pull out the Redcloud Sword and fight with two swords . He managed to mount a resistance by depending upon the Wind and Fire Swords Realm .

“Are you satisfied?” Ji Yuan asked .

“It doesn’t amount to much,” Jiang Chen snorted coldly .

“Is that the case?” Ji Yuan’s other head chided mockingly .

Just after this, the holy golden spear in his hand disintegrated . The pieces turned into several small blades, one in each of the six hands .

“Revolution!”

Ji Yuan’s attack style changed, and he started revolving at a high-speed like a spinning top . His six hands coordinated well . His fighting prowess started gradually rising .

“Eight! Twelve! Sixteen! It’s sixteen-fold!” someone in the crowd started calculating attentively . He’d figured out the rate of advancement of Ji Yuan’s power after his body transformation .

Jiang Chen, who held two swords, was now in a predicament . He was always forced to retreat, and it seemed like his defense would break at any moment . The increase in Ji Yuan’s fighting prowess came to a stop once it reached sixteen-fold . But this was already a terrifying level . However, the crowd didn’t assume that the battle would end because they were clearly aware that Jiang Chen wasn’t at his limit .

“Lightning Disaster of Ten Thousand Swords!”

Jiang Chen didn’t disappoint the crowd, and he summoned his Lightning Martial Soul . He used it along with the Boundless Sword Soul to again launch the same sword move as before .

“It’s starting!”

When Master Luo Cheng had used this sword move before, he’d used it along with it a Boundless Sword Soul with a single special trait . Yet, it still exhibited great might . But now, it was used by a Boundless Sword Soul with all five special traits . It would probably possess a strength mighty enough to destroy the whole land . The sword’s power quickly reached a level that wasn’t any weaker than the Lightning Tribulation, and it engulfed the whole battlefield . Jiang Chen didn’t bother targeting his enemy; he just fully released his power .

Rumble! As his sword fell down, Ji Yuan, who had three hands and six arms, was devoured by the lightning . He turned into a shining black blur, which was gradually erased .

“Oh my god!”

At that moment, even the Wizard Clan couldn’t sit still . Even though this sword move possessed a great might, it was still too outrageous to believe that it had managed to kill Ji Yuan directly . However, when this divine might started scattering, the crowd saw that Jiang Chen was the only person left on the battlefield . Ji Yuan had disappeared .

“Is this how the strongest warrior dies?”

“Jiang Chen is really very powerful, but Ji Yuan’s power shouldn’t be limited to just this . ”

The crowd started discussing and looked around, while delight appeared on some faces . They were happy to witness such an outcome . However, as long as they observed Jiang Chen’s expression, they realized that this situation wasn’t as simple as it seemed . Meanwhile, familiar footsteps reverberated, and the whole audience descended into silence .
