Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Emperor Scripture Clash
Such an event, if not witnessed personally, no one would dare believe it to be true.
Previously, some in the crowd had heard of Ji Chen’s exploits, knowing he had once wrested a Holy Weapon barehanded.
But everyone just thought it was an exaggeration.
How could there be such a powerful figure in the human world, able to resist a Holy Weapon with his physical body?
They did not believe it.
But now, such a scene had truly and vividly unfolded before their eyes.
"The Ren family’s Holy Weapon ’Illusionary Mirror’ was actually cracked by him with his bare hands!"
"Am I dreaming? Is this real or not?"
"Is there really someone whose physical body is as strong as this?"
"No wonder they say Hongmeng Body of the Celestial Martial dominates the same realm; I always thought it was an exaggeration..."
Everyone was discussing, and no one could hold back their astonishment.
How could they have known, Ji Chen’s Hongmeng Body nowadays, after absorbing three thousand pounds of Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi, had long surpassed its previous strength, and shattering an ordinary Holy Weapon with one punch was nothing at all.
If it were in the past, it would indeed have been difficult to achieve such a feat as breaking a Holy Weapon with one punch.
"Is this your trump card? It seems it poses no threat to me."
Amidst the crowd’s discussions, only Ji Chen’s voice was heard lightly spreading throughout the entire field.
He stepped towards Ren Tingsheng, a faint smile on his face, his words nothing short of utter humiliation towards Ren Tingsheng.
"You!"
Ren Tingsheng was furious, his face dark and extremely unsightly.
Seeing Ji Chen pressing forward step by step, he snorted coldly once again, "Don’t think that just because you have a Hongmeng Body you are truly invincible. If I wanted to defeat you, it would be easy!"
"Buzz!"
As the voice fell, you could see the aura on his body suddenly surge to a more startling level.
The space trembled, around Ren Tingsheng’s body, strands of light emerged, which were actually an Emperor’s Essence, making him appear like an Ancient Emperor manifesting in the mortal world.
This was the change brought about after he deduced the Emperor Scripture.
Ordinary people, even if they have cultivated the Emperor Scripture, cannot manifest an Emperor’s Essence while using it. Only because Ren Tingsheng inherited powerful Ancient Emperor’s blood can he do so.
The crowd held their breaths, crushed by the momentum emitted from that Emperor’s Essence, leaving them breathless.
"Kill!"
Ren Tingsheng soared into the sky, his entire body bathed in brilliant divine light, like a youthful Ancient Emperor, intimidating all.
He lightly shouted, and with a wave of his large hand, enveloped in immense might, he reached towards Ji Chen like stretching over countless miles, constantly closing in on him.
Undeniably, after deducing the Emperor Scripture, Ren Tingsheng’s power did indeed increase significantly, his attack power also grew substantially from before. Even Ji Chen felt a slight threat at this moment.
Yet, that was all.
"Buzz!"
Without any hesitation, Ji Chen activated the Heavenly Scripture as well.
This was the Night Emperor’s legacy, an understanding he attained when he buried the Night Emperor’s bones in the Immortal Burial Forest.
"Boom!"
The aura of two Emperor Scriptures collided, instantly draining this world of color.
Above, the void split the clouds into two halves, as if the sky were split by a mighty sword.
Ji Chen extended a hand as well, merging the power of the Heavenly Scripture within, and in the blink of an eye, his attack met Ren Tingsheng’s head-on.
A thunderous echo resonated, shaking heaven and earth, causing everyone present to change expression in shock.
Some with weaker cultivation even couldn’t hold back from coughing up blood in the oppressive grandeur, nearly fainting from the shock.
In this collision, both sides stood their ground, neither side able to gain a true advantage.
"Ji Chen has also cultivated the Emperor Scripture?"
"Isn’t he just the Young Master of a small Sect from Celestial Martial? Where did he acquire an Emperor Scripture to cultivate?"
Many were astounded, this clearly caught them off guard.
For many, although Ji Chen had unparalleled talent and extraordinary potential, his background was considered quite plain.
Being from a once obscure Sect, such a status should not have allowed him access to the Emperor Scripture.
"The Banished Immortal Ning Bufan also hailed from a humble background, yet cultivated two Emperor Scriptures. How many like him exist today?"
"By this account, it isn’t surprising Ji Chen has an Emperor Scripture as well, considering opportunities abound for such prodigies."
Many spoke, their eyes filled with not just surprise but a hint of envy as well.
The Emperor Scripture, an ultimate Secret Technique in this world, is only accessible to the most talented Saint Heir level geniuses in the Sacred Land and Di Race, even ordinary elites or Direct Disciples do not have access.
Yet now, someone like Ji Chen from a humble background had cultivated an Emperor Scripture, and how could they not be envious?
"Holy Weapon, Emperor Scripture, what other trump cards do you have? Just bring them out."
Ji Chen spoke, locking eyes with Ren Tingsheng, his face ever calm.
As he spoke, he took another step, steadily approaching the opponent.
"Retreat for me!"
Ren Tingsheng yelled fiercely, his face devoid of previous disdain or arrogance, only extreme seriousness remaining.
Now, he finally realized Ji Chen’s extraordinariness.
Such a character was exceedingly troublesome, even after using both the Holy Weapon and Emperor Scripture as trump cards and methods, he couldn’t gain any advantage over him, something Ren Tingsheng was unwilling to accept no matter what.
"Buzz!"
With a soft shout, he bit through his tongue, offering a drop of essence blood.
Suddenly, this drop of essence blood expanded, transforming into a crimson warship, like a great mountain, piercing the void towards Ji Chen.
This warship was manifested from the Ancient Emperor’s bloodline, combined with the power of the Emperor Scripture, the potency was terrifying. Even with Ren Tingsheng’s current cultivation, wielding it, even some ordinary Void Realm experts would find it troublesome.
"Buzz!"
However, Ji Chen still stood his ground.
Behind him, the Law Phenomenon of Hongmeng Body’s Starry Sky appeared.
Within it, brilliant stars shone, as if unending Star Power poured down, enhancing Ji Chen.
Enveloped in such a Law Phenomenon, Ji Chen stood impervious to all; any attack approaching him would have its power infinitely diminished.
And, due to absorbing three thousand pounds of Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi, the Hongmeng Body now vastly surpassed its former self, and this diminishing power was far more formidable than before.
Ji Chen simply stood there silently, doing nothing, allowing the blood-red warship to crash down.
"Buzz!"
In its motion, everyone could feel the warship’s aura rapidly decreasing at an astonishing pace, its potency not even half of its initial display.
Finally, as the warship approached above Ji Chen’s head, invisibly, a force completely eroded it, transforming it into a shower of blood, scattering, without posing any threat to Ji Chen.
