Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Celestial Saint Venerable
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The Purple Gold Halberd thrust down with power, as if dragging the momentum of the entire world, forming a terrifying pressure.
The onlookers below, all the disciples watching, had a change of complexion.
Some with weaker cultivation even couldn’t help but cough up blood on the spot.
However, facing such an offensive, Ji Chen neither dodged nor retreated; instead, he boldly charged forward.
He thrust his hand forward, and amidst the shocked eyes of everyone, he grabbed the Purple Gold Halberd, stopping it mid-air.
"What?"
This scene instantly stunned everyone.
The formidable physical strength of the Hongmeng Body once again refreshed their understanding.
"Nice weapon, I’ll borrow it."
Ji Chen smiled, holding the Purple Gold Halberd in his hand.
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the eight people in front of him.
"Buzz!"
As his voice fell, purple light surged, and the halberd in Ji Chen’s hand swept outwards, instantly releasing a terrifying Sacred Rhyme that engulfed the entire scene.
"Ah!"
Screams echoed continuously, clearly reaching everyone’s ears.
Following that, the eight people in front of Ji Chen all coughed blood and were sent flying back, swept away by him with the Purple Gold Halberd, none unscathed, all heavily injured and collapsing on the spot.
"This..."
"How is this possible?!"
This scene stunned everyone, and after a brief moment of silence, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
Some couldn’t help but gasp, their hearts incredibly shocked.
Eight Saint Realm experts were all defeated by Ji Chen, injured by a single sweep of his halberd, without any power to counter.
"This so-called Daoist Sect seems to be nothing more; I think it should just disband."
Amidst the watchful eyes of everyone, Ji Chen stood with the halberd, his gaze falling on Jun Wudao, speaking with a faint smile.
These words, entering Jun Wudao’s ears, were undoubtedly a massive provocation and humiliation to him.
"Let me see, then, how capable this so-called master of the Daoist Sect really is?"
Ji Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed, a cold gleam flickering within.
As his voice fell, he hurled the Purple Gold Halberd fiercely towards Jun Wudao.
The purple light flickered like a meteor falling from the sky, tearing through the void.
"Buzz!"
Jun Wudao snorted coldly, energy surging around him as he stepped forward, extending his right hand to catch the Purple Gold Halberd thrown by Ji Chen.
"It seems your strength indeed exceeds my expectations."
As he spoke, he tossed the Purple Gold Halberd back to its owner, his gaze fixed on Ji Chen as he continued, "No wonder you dare to invade my Immortal Monarch Mansion alone. Ji Chen, your courage and strength have indeed gained my recognition. Submitting to me would be your best choice."
"At this point, don’t you find it ridiculous to still say such things?"
Ji Chen retorted disdainfully, meeting his gaze, "You want me to submit to you? I’m afraid you’re not capable of that."
"Arrogant!"
Jun Wudao’s eyes narrowed, a cold gleam flickering within.
As he spoke, his aura became even more terrifying.
The momentum he formed was so oppressive that everyone present was nearly suffocating.
"What an astonishing aura, is this the presence just a step away from becoming a Great Saint?"
"Nirvana Realm Fifth Layer Peak!"
All around the Immortal Monarch Mansion, the disciples watching were amazed, feeling an overwhelming awe at Jun Wudao’s power.
Such a realm would be almost unrivaled in any part of the Nine Great Star Domains.
"Buzz!"
While everyone discussed, Jun Wudao slowly rose into the air, arriving beneath the dark night sky.
He stood there, looking down at Ji Chen with a proud expression, saying, "Ji Chen, I’m giving you one last chance. Will you submit?"
"Why don’t you join my Dao Dust Pavilion? I’ll grant you the position of Vice Pavilion Master?" Ji Chen replied with a smile.
"It seems there’s nothing more to say..."
Jun Wudao spoke calmly, with killing intent suddenly emerging in his eyes, "Your extraordinary talent does make me a bit apprehensive. At this point, if you’re unwilling to submit to me, then you must be eliminated to prevent future trouble."
As his voice fell, he soared towards the skies above Celestial Emperor City, gazing distantly at Ji Chen, coldly taunting, "I invite you to the Battle Platform, do you dare to fight?"
"Battle Platform!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Truly stepping onto the Battle Platform would mean this would surely escalate into a life-and-death battle.
"Has it come to this? Should we intervene?"
In a certain place in the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, several Peak Masters gathered, and upon hearing Jun Wudao’s words, they furrowed their brows.
For the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, whether it was Jun Wudao or Ji Chen, they were both rare talents that, once nurtured, could become top pillars of the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion in the future.
Clearly, the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion didn’t want either of them to face any accident.
This was fundamentally different from when it involved Shen Yan.
The weight Ji Chen and Jun Wudao carried couldn’t be compared to just the likes of Shen Yan alone.
"According to the rules, we have no right to prevent any disciple from entering the Battle Platform." Saint Venerable Purple Mist furrowed his brow.
Saint Venerable Mu Yun glanced around, asking, "Where’s Yellow Dragon? Things have escalated to this point, and he’s still sitting idly?"
"Yellow Dragon left the mansion yesterday; he went to the Dusk Wind Star Realm," Saint Venerable Lu Lin replied.
"Went to Dusk Wind?"
Upon hearing this, Saint Venerable Mu Yun paused, then realized, chuckling bitterly, "That Shen Family... They shouldn’t have acted against Ji Chen back then. Now look, Yellow Dragon going personally to Dusk Wind, I’m afraid..."
"Buzz!"
Just then, the space behind them trembled slightly.
A figure in a white robe appeared out of thin air.
The Saint Venerables were all taken aback and then quickly saluted, "Mansion Master!"
Celestial Saint Venerable!
This was the title for every generation of mansion master in the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion.
It’s said that the current mansion master is almost always in seclusion and rarely appears; in the past hundred years, apart from when secret realms open, almost no one has seen him.
Unexpectedly, Ji Chen and Jun Wudao’s matter has even alarmed him to appear.
"Mansion Master, should we intervene to stop these two from fighting?" Saint Venerable Mu Yun inquired.
The Celestial Saint Venerable remained silent for a moment, then said, "Let them fight it out first. Some things cannot be resolved without a fight."
The crowd heard this and couldn’t help but glance at each other, "But that is the Battle Platform, what if..."
Yet the Celestial Saint Venerable smiled, saying gently, "Don’t worry, at the moment of life and death, I will step in."
