Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Unrivaled in the Same Realm
A Saint appeared here, not taking direct action but asking Ji Chen to release the captive, and let things be done with.
Evidently, the talent Ji Chen displayed was overwhelmingly terrifying, and his future achievements could not be underestimated.
A formidable outer realm Di Race like the Wu Family also did not wish to make an enemy of him, to avoid any unnecessary trouble in the future.
The Saint, exalted and supreme, was the paramount power in an era of invincibility.
Yet now, this Saint from the Wu Family treated Ji Chen with such politeness, which was beyond everyone’s expectations.
At this moment, all eyes were on Ji Chen, eager to see how he would handle the situation.
Ji Chen slightly raised his gaze, met the elder’s eyes, and then said, "Releasing is possible, but bring me five hundred million Spirit Stones."
At these words, everyone was stunned for a moment and then looked surprised.
Nobody expected that even after a Saint intervened, Ji Chen was still not willing to let it go, insisting on receiving the so-called ransom of five hundred million.
"So arrogant!"
"Even a Saint has stepped up, and he doesn’t give them even this little face?"
"Offending a Saint for five hundred million Spirit Stones, offending the Wu Family, isn’t that too irrational?"
Around the Lingyun Sect, many gathered cultivators began to discuss uncontrollably.
"Ji Chen, do you know who you are talking to right now?"
"Can’t you see the situation? Be sensible and release them quickly, or you’ll pay for this!"
A few strong figures from the Wu Family stepped forward, scolding Ji Chen.
Clearly, they didn’t expect Ji Chen would be so audacious, daring to demand a ransom from a Saint in front of so many people.
"Know your place, is there a role for you to speak here?"
A cold snort sounded, and Ji Chen’s large hand slapped forward, pressing toward those speaking from the Wu Family.
"Ah!"
Screams rang out continuously as those elite figures from the Wu Family couldn’t resist, all being knocked back by Ji Chen’s slap, coughing blood uncontrollably, their faces turning pale.
"Patriarch, this child is arrogant, please suppress him directly and bring him back to the Wu Family for punishment!"
Many were enraged, eager to crush Ji Chen here, not expecting he would be so brazen as to act in front of a Wu Family Saint.
"Our Wu Family... although unwilling to be enemies with you, if young friend insists on not releasing them, then today, do not blame this old man for using the great to suppress the small."
The elder spoke in a calm voice. The presence here was not his true body but a Mind Dao Body, appearing in a semi-transparent state.
Although the Dao Body’s strength is far less terrifying than the true body, a Saint Dao Body is by no means ordinary and cannot be underestimated.
"Buzz!"
The moment the words fell, a gleam flashed in the elder’s eyes, and then his large hand reached down fiercely.
The void trembled, boundless laws surged madly, and a large earth-yellow void hand pressed downward, like a great mountain, covering the sky and sun, carrying an aura that seemed to annihilate all living beings, slapping fiercely towards Ji Chen.
Ji Chen squinted his eyes, not daring to show the slightest underestimation on his face.
Although his body has sanctified, his cultivation is only at the Sixth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm. Faced with a Saint Dao Body, if he dares to be reckless in any way, what awaits him will be irreparable destruction.
"Boom boom boom..."
The space trembled continuously, and behind Ji Chen, the Stellar Law Phenomenon instantly emerged.
Endless star power descended, enhancing his body.
The large earth-yellow void hand seemed to have stretched from ancient times, locking onto Ji Chen, intending to suppress him on the spot.
"Buzz!"
The power of space surged wildly, within the Law Phenomenon, the stars shone brilliantly, releasing endless power, seemingly countering the void hand.
As time passed, the hand pressed downward, the distance between Ji Chen and it grew closer, while its power was infinitely diminished.
"Extinguish!"
Ultimately, with a light cry from Ji Chen, his whole body moved, leaping into the air, clenching his fist tightly, smashing it out in fury.
"Boom rumble..."
A thunderous explosion erupted instantly, like two mountains colliding fiercely, shaking the entire world, revealing one after another terrifying space cracks.
"If your true body descended here, I might still be fearful, but what is a mere Dao Body?"
Ji Chen’s faint laughter entered his ears.
With the existence of the Stellar Law Phenomenon, he was nearly invulnerable now.
Any method that attacked him would have its power infinitely diminished by this Law Phenomenon, scarcely causing a real threat.
It’s known, now that Ji Chen has achieved the Great Success of the Hongmeng Body, his body has sanctified.
Even a Quasi-Saint appearing here, making remote attacks, would hardly pose much danger to Ji Chen.
"He actually blocked it!"
What happened in the void left everyone present dumbfounded, standing still with their eyes dazed, filled with shock.
"That must be the Law Phenomenon of the Hongmeng Body, surprisingly with such effect, resonating with the Dao, any attack unleashed towards him would have its power greatly weakened!" Within Yang City, nearly a hundred miles from the Lingyun Sect, some Saint Master Level experts lurked.
They gazed from afar, always focusing on the events happening above the Lingyun Sect.
Now seeing Ji Chen easily resolve a Saint’s method in this way, none of these Saint Master Level figures could hide their astonishment.
It’s understood that facing a Saint Dao Body, even they, would hardly have significant resistance.
"No wonder they say the Hongmeng Body is invincible within the same realm, this must be the main reason."
"Such a Law Phenomenon is too defiant, under the same realm, all attacks pose no real threat to him."
Up to now, many finally truly understood that the Hongmeng Body reigning in the same realm is indeed with substantiation.
With such a Law Phenomenon, in the same realm, or even at realms far higher than Ji Chen, it is still difficult to harm him!
"Body sanctification, truly extraordinary, this old man would like to see today what exactly is different about this young friend."
The Saint of the Wu Family spoke up, with words always so indifferent.
"Buzz!"
As the sound fell, he combined his two fingers, pointing forward.
In an instant, brilliance flickered, and a streak of Holy Sword Aura condensed out of thin air, slashing across from a distant ancient era, pressing fiercely towards where Ji Chen stood.
"Extinguish!"
With a soft shout, Ji Chen constantly weakened this sword’s power with the Stellar Law Phenomenon, while clenching his fist tightly, striking furiously, forcibly shattering the sword aura in mid-air.
