Chapter 1942: 1942

Jiang Chen had fought demigods before and had a solid understanding about their level of power .



With his current cultivation, it would be difficult for him to defeat one or even fight head-on, but he was confident he’d be able to play the game and at least remain undefeated .

He was quite different from who he’d been when he’d left . Having ascended to sixth level empyrean and acquired the heritage from the fourth and fifth palaces, both his martial dao and equipment had progressed substantially .

If he could break through to the seventh level, he would be able to go toe-to-toe with a demigod .

He thought back to previous battles with demigods such as Forefather Goldenbell and Yuchi . At the time, the Vermilion Bird had been the main force . This time though, he had taken matters into his own hands .

He smiled slightly when brown cloak fell silent . “What’s wrong? Are you more afraid of exposing your identity than of death?”

The man scoffed . “Afraid? I’m just wondering how much of a fool you must be to negotiate with me . ”

Jiang Chen was growing impatient . “Cut the nonsense . Just tell me if you have the guts to take the deal . ”

Brown cloak laughed derisively and declared in a haughty tone, “You’ll get what you want if you can survive ten attacks from me . Come on then, boy . ”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and threw his companions a determined look .

Huang’er gently tugged on his elbow, the look in her eyes concerned .

Jiang Chen patted the back of her hand . “Don’t worry . I’ve met my fair share of demigods . ”

Huang’er knew it was unlikely for him to change his mind once he’d made a decision . She reminded him, “Be careful . Don’t get carried away by the fight or take unnecessary risks . ”

She was worried, but she knew that with the Vermilion Bird’s protection, Jiang Chen wouldn’t be in dire danger even if he did end up losing .

Jiang Chen silently told the bird, “Brother Vermilion, Brother Long, maintain the formation and don’t worry about me . Protect Huang’er and the others . ”

With that, he walked out of the formation and flew towards an open space .

“It’s sacrilegious to fight on top of the ruins of House Yan,” said Jiang Chen . “Why don’t we move to another location, gentlemen?”



Brown cloak snorted derisively . “Unnecessary . ”

The man had made his apathy known, so Jiang Chen didn’t push things . He nodded . “So be it then . ”


Brown cloak didn’t seem to take Jiang Chen seriously at all . He smiled faintly . “Why don’t I let you attack me three times first?”

Jiang Chen scoffed . “I feel embarrassed for you and your immature taunting . Make your move . Show me ten of your most powerful tricks . Don’t regret not trying your best afterwards . I have nothing but contempt for those who justify their mistakes with excuses . That’s the sign of a coward . ”

“Hmph, I don’t need to use my most powerful move to kill you . ” With that, brown cloak lifted a hand and slammed it at the ground .

An enormous vortex appeared and swirled towards Jiang Chen with tremendous speed, its impetus so powerful that it seemed the sky would fall in and the earth crumble . The ground before Jiang Chen was quickly churned into the vortex .  

Jiang Chen recognized it as an attack of the earth element . It was essentially an earth vortex .

Regular cultivators might fail to get out of the way in time and be sucked into the vortex, but earth element attacks posed no threat to him . His Earth Bodhisattva Orb was a powerful item of the element . Refining it made him almost invincible to earth attacks .



This tremendously powerful attack was just a trifling detail to him . The orb enabled him to stay rooted to the ground, completely unbothered, as the earth shook and trembled .

To onlookers, the vortex seemed to swallow Jiang Chen in an instant . Waves of dust and earth measuring hundreds of meters cascaded upon the area . He disappeared into them like a small ship vanishing into the boundless ocean . There seemed no hope for his survival .

“Ah!” The sight shook Huang’er and Yan Qingsang to the core . Huang’er was especially affected and her heart sank . It felt as if the rug had been pulled out beneath her feet . Her legs went weak and she almost collapsed .

Elder Shun caught her in time and reassured her in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry, Huang’er . He wouldn’t be Jiang Chen if he was defeated so easily . ”

That said, the elder wasn’t actually feeling that confident . He had trouble keeping track of battles at such a level .

Although he was an empyrean cultivator, the cloaked man was obviously at least a demigod, which put the fight at a level higher than his observation capabilities .

The brown-cloaked man smirked derisively and shook his head when he saw Jiang Chen disappear into the vortex, muttering, “Another young man who’s full of himself . The genius of the sacred land is nothing but a product of the times . He has nothing to back his reputation up . How laughable for him to puff himself up like that . ”

He was quite confident in his technique . One had to dodge the vortex for a chance at survival . Once caught, all the sand and earth would envelope the victim and tear them to pieces .  

Originally, the brown-cloaked man had been worried about disobeying his master’s will, but Jiang Chen had lost too easily . A young man who didn’t deserve his fame didn’t deserve his mercy either . Even if his master blamed him, the punishment wouldn’t be severe .

The other three cloaked men shook their heads . They’d thought the successor of the sacred land would have something to back up his boastful claims . They didn’t expect their companion to kill the young man with only one move .

Apparently they’d quite overestimated the young man . They exchanged mocking glances .

At this time, the immensely strong swirl at the center of the vortex gradually died down, with the dust and smoke around it being sucked in as well .

Something was off .

Brown cloak knew his technique well . The vortex would die down after a while, but not like this .

Doubt flickered in his eyes .
