Chapter 216: Chapter 216: The Landscape Will Change
"This physique is terrifying, who among his peers in the future Daoxuan Star Domain could compete for supremacy with him?"
Countless people exclaimed in amazement, shocked by Ji Chen’s power.
Now, he is only in the Sixth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm, yet he can contend with the Dao Body manifested by a Saint.
This undoubtedly exceeded everyone’s understanding.
"Why wait for the future? Even now, among his peers, I’m afraid there are not many who dare claim to compete with Ji Chen," someone remarked.
"After all, he has already achieved Body Sanctification. Although his cultivation is still somewhat low, technically speaking, he is already a Saint, surpassing countless young geniuses. Even powerful figures like the Hidden Dragon Saint Heir and the proud Banished Immortal Ning Bufan may only have less than a thirty percent chance of winning against him now!"
"Thirty percent? It’s good if it’s even ten percent! Do you know what Body Sanctification means? It’s something that countless people throughout history have been unable to achieve. A Saint in their twenties...just the thought of it is terrifying."
...
Many people were discussing, exclaiming in awe, and all were moved.
Not only were there veteran masters, but also many young talents from various realms present.
Now, having truly witnessed the power of the Hongmeng Body, they finally realized that the gap between themselves and Ji Chen had unknowingly widened considerably.
"Haha, I wonder who would still dare to say that the younger generation of Celestial Martial is inferior to others?"
In a certain part of the crowd, Mo Cheng laughed aloud. He was among the few who could be considered friends with Ji Chen.
Now seeing the other person achieve Body Sanctification and stand over his peers, he was naturally overjoyed.
Since the appearance of the Ancient Starry Path, many claimed that the Outer Realm was vast, filled with prodigies.
And that Celestial Martial was merely a remote Ancient Star, where the so-called Dao Body, Hongmeng Body, and Donghuang Divine Body were nothing compared to the real top talents of the Outer Realm.
This sentiment had often displeased Mo Cheng and the young talents of Celestial Martial, yet they felt powerless to prove otherwise.
Now, with Ji Chen’s Hongmeng Body achieving Great Success, his body achieving Dao and Sanctification, battling a Saint’s Dao Body without falling behind.
With his presence, who would dare say that Celestial Martial has no one?
"The boy from the past has now truly become a King..."
In a part of Yang City, a beautiful woman stood there, her eyes flashing with a unique light, as if with self-mockery, yet also as a blessing.
The woman was none other than Liu Qingcheng, the first disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect.
Over the years, her cultivation had also progressed rapidly with astonishing advancement, receiving vast resources for training from the Purple Cloud Sect.
But compared to Ji Chen, these so-called advancements were trivial.
Every time she saw Ji Chen again, she could vividly feel the ever-widening gap between them.
And each time, she remembered breaking off her engagement with Ji Chen at Lingyun Sect years ago.
Back then, how arrogant and dismissive she was.
Who would have thought that the Young Sect Leader she once dismissed in a mere few years, would grow to such heights, truly gaining fame across the Daoxuan Star Domain, becoming an unparalleled figure among the younger generation!
"With a son like this, what more could one ask for?"
Within Lingyun Sect, Ji Xiaotian and Ye Jinglan were also extremely excited.
Not to mention others, even as Ji Chen’s parents, they had never imagined before today that their son would be their pride, achieving Body Sanctification at the age of twenty-something, overlooked by all contemporaries.
"Looks like the dynamics of Celestial Martial are bound to change..."
Strong individuals from Sacred Lands like Dao Inference and Supreme Profound had gathered near Lingyun Sect, all sighing.
It’s not hard to imagine, after today, Ji Chen would lead Lingyun Sect to rise completely.
A young Saint, coupled with several Void Realm masters, and a group of talented disciples, such a sect undoubtedly had the conditions to become a Sacred Land!
"It seems the two of you will find it hard to compete with him in this lifetime."
On a mountaintop, several young figures stood silently, with a woman leading them, dressed in a golden phoenix robe, she was exquisite and solitary, none other than the Divine Lady Huang Shuying of the Phoenix Race.
She possessed the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, daughter of an Ancient Emperor, held a high position among the Ancient Race, even some Ancestral Kings of the time showed utmost respect before her.
Beside Huang Shuying, after hearing her words, the Dragon Heir and the Demon Heir both sighed.
Both had grievances with Ji Chen, once thinking on their path to growth they could trample Ji Chen underfoot.
But now, seeing the transformation of the Hongmeng Body, they felt such a possibility was almost non-existent.
As time passed, the gap between them and Ji Chen would only grow wider.
"The Human Race’s Hongmeng Body is indeed extraordinary. After Body Sanctification, unless a Great Saint intervenes, no one in the Daoxuan Star Domain could possibly kill him."
Elsewhere from Huang Shuyue, a burly young man covered in golden hair spoke, with a smile of excitement on his face, "Luckily my relationship with Ji Chen is quite good, should be no problem asking him for a spar in the future."
The burly young man was none other than the Ape Prince of the Ape Race.
He too had once fought Ji Chen, and was defeated, but the two harbored no animosity.
Moreover, when Ji Chen married Qu Luoning, the Ape Prince attended and offered blessings.
"You still want to spar with him?"
Those present were speechless, most were crown princes from various races, championing the younger generation of Celestial Martial.
Now seeing Ji Chen’s strength, they knew they were no longer on the same level, only able to admire from a distance.
But the Ape Prince, still wants to spar with him?
No wonder the Ape Race is known as the Fighting Saint Race, everyone from this race is indeed battle-crazed, this isn’t merely empty talk.
"Our Ape Race has always passed down a single line throughout history, and over ninety percent of our people have successfully achieved Dao and Sanctification, I certainly will be no exception. This all depends on the strength of the Ancestral Emperor’s bloodline. Once I achieve sanctification, I’m determined to have a good match with him, to see who stands higher!" As he spoke, anticipation for battle appeared in the Ape Prince’s eyes.
His obsession with battle and the self-confidence he displayed left the Demon Heir and others speechless.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Meanwhile, high above in the sky beyond Lingyun Sect, the battle continued relentlessly.
An elder of the Wu Family continuously demonstrated Sacred Arts, pressing down on Ji Chen.
But without exception, every one of his attacks was ultimately diminished by Ji Chen with the Stellar Law Phenomenon, shattered mid-air by his punches and palms.
