"Origin Soul Clone?!"

The Emperor was stunned for a moment upon seeing this scene. He quickly backed away, his face grave as he stared at the Black Mist Serpent.

After absorbing the radiance, the Black Mist Serpent's body swelled to twice its previous size, growing to over three zhang long. Its eight snake heads coldly fixed their gaze on the Emperor:

"What's wrong? Are you surprised? This is the Origin Soul Clone created by absorbing your Soul Power back in the day. A Soul Clone forged from my own Divine Soul Power to kill you—consider yourself honored to die by it!"

"If you want to kill me, you better come at me with your true Divine Soul!" The Emperor retorted coldly, charging forward once more.

In mid-air nearby, Supreme Long Huang, Supreme Feng Luan, and Supreme Hu Sha were besieging Shang Yan but were continuously driven back. Shang Yan singlehandedly gained the upper hand almost instantly!

Elder Qing stood at a distance, anxiously pacing. After some thought, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Beep beep... Hello, the number you dialed is currently powered off."

A mechanical voice came through the receiver, and Elder Qing's face darkened. He cursed angrily, "That little brat's phone—is it broken again?"

He glanced at the tunnel from which the Emperor had emerged and suddenly recalled the Emperor's words. He muttered to himself, "The passage inside can block Saint Realm detection, but does it also block phone signals? Wait, there weren't any phone signals during that era!"

Unwilling to give up, Elder Qing searched through the phone contacts and finally found a name connected to the person he wanted. He quickly made the call.

Inside the mountain passage.

"How much farther?!"

Leng Ming lay weakly on Yan Hu's back, groaning bitterly.

"Almost there—it's just 500 meters to the exit ahead." Zhou Dingguo replied softly.

Ring ring ring!

The sudden sound of a phone ringing startled Spirit You, who quickly pulled out his phone. After glancing at the screen, he answered the call in haste. "Elder Qing?"

"Spirit You, where's Jiang Chen? Let him answer the phone!" Elder Qing's anxious voice came from the receiver.

Spirit You paused for a second and hurriedly handed the phone to Jiang Chen. "Young Master, it's Elder Qing calling."

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before taking Spirit You's phone in one hand while glancing at his own phone in the other. He remembered taking good care of his phone—it had survived several battles. He had even specially ordered a custom phone and made sure to protect it during combat!

Lowering his head for a closer look, he found his phone intact but unresponsive. He muttered helplessly, "No battery!"

"Elder Qing, how's the situation outside?"

Putting his own phone away, Jiang Chen lightly asked, holding Spirit You's phone.

"The group at the mountain's base has been dealt with. Now we're at the mid-mountain ancestral hall. There's a Saint Realm enemy here, a Black Mist Serpent the Emperor himself can't suppress, and Ancestor Zhou is here as well, but he's bound by the Divine Lock Chain and unable to fight. The three Supremes—Long Huang, Feng Luan, and Hu Sha—are barely holding out against another enemy. Where are you? Get Ancestor Yue and the others over here quickly!"

"What?" Jiang Chen was shocked. He suddenly remembered something and turned to Zhou Dingguo, asking urgently, "Old Master Zhou, where is the tunnel exit? Is it close to the ancestral hall?"

"The exit is right next to the passage!" Zhou Dingguo replied softly.

Jiang Chen's face darkened. "Everyone—stay inside the tunnel for now. Several Saint Realm experts are fighting near the ancestral hall. To avoid getting caught in the aftermath, keep a distance of 100 meters from the tunnel exit. Ancestor Yue, Ancestor Li, and Ancestor Lan, you three go up ahead and assist them quickly!"

"You come too! The Divine Lock Chain might need you to unlock it!" Elder Qing shouted anxiously upon hearing Jiang Chen's instructions.

Jiang Chen paused briefly before replying in a deep voice, "Alright!"

Turning to Yan Hu and the others, Jiang Chen instructed, "None of you are allowed to come with me!"

Swish!

Without giving Yan Hu and the others a chance to refute, Jiang Chen's figure flashed forward, galloping ahead.

Ancestor Yue and the other two quickly followed.

Ancestor Yue rushed ahead, Ancestor Li moved to Jiang Chen's side to guard him shoulder to shoulder, while Ancestor Lan stayed behind Jiang Chen—fully covering him from all angles.

Above the ancestral hall.

After just a few minutes of battle, the Zhou Family's ancestral hall was already reduced to ruins.

Several meters in the air, the Emperor attacked the Black Mist Serpent with a frustrated expression. He found himself unable to defeat this Soul Clone forged from his own Divine Soul Power.

Higher up, Supreme Long Huang, Supreme Feng Luan, and Supreme Hu Sha were covered in wounds and could only defend passively. At this rate, they could not hold on much longer!

Boom!

The explosion of a giant rock next to the ancestral hall sent four figures bursting out from behind.

"Assist!" Jiang Chen glanced at the sky and shouted urgently.

Swish swish swish!

Ancestor Yue and the other two darted straight into the air, while Jiang Chen sprinted toward Elder Qing.

Ancestor Lan and Li Jiang replaced the three Supremes, joining the battle against Shang Yan. Ancestor Yue joined the Emperor above the ruins in surrounding the Black Mist Serpent.

"Elder Qing, what's the situation?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown as he reached Elder Qing.

Zoom zoom zoom!

The three Supremes—Long Huang, Feng Luan, and Hu Sha—also arrived beside the two.

"Jiang Chen, no time for explanations! Get some Bone Soul Revival Liquid out for Supreme Long Huang and the others to heal!" Elder Qing immediately reached for Jiang Chen's pocket.

"Damn it! I can do it myself! You thief!"

Jiang Chen quickly dodged, pulling out a small flat bottle from his inner pocket. He placed his hand on Supreme Long Huang's wrist.

After examining briefly, Jiang Chen handed the small bottle to Long Huang. "Three drops."

"Three drops!"

"Five drops!"

After checking Feng Luan and Hu Sha, Jiang Chen spoke softly.

Supreme Long Huang drank three drops and passed the bottle to Supreme Feng Luan.

Once all three had consumed their heals, Jiang Chen reached out to take back the bottle from Supreme Hu Sha.

"Leave it with me!"

Elder Qing promptly said, reaching out to snatch the bottle.

Swish!

A tri-colored flash of light streaked by as Jiang Chen activated his Inner Qi, rapidly retrieving the small bottle and stuffing it back into his inner pocket. He scolded Elder Qing, "Elder Qing, can you show some self-restraint?"

"Jiang Chen... The strength you showed just now—" Supreme Long Huang's eyes widened as he stared unwaveringly at Jiang Chen.

Supreme Hu Sha, Supreme Feng Luan, and Elder Qing all looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

"Jiang Chen, what is this power? Why does it give me such an intense sense of danger?!"

Shocked, Elder Qing observed Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen hadn't even attacked him—he had only demonstrated his strength, yet Elder Qing could feel the threat. This stunned him deeply!

"It's called Heaven and Earth Dragon Origin Qi—I don't fully understand it either. Dragon Saint Senior helped me fuse the Dragon Qi and blood energy in my body, also integrating it with my Soul Power!" Jiang Chen explained softly.

"Integrating Soul Power into physical strength? Isn't that only achievable after breaking into the Saint Realm?"

Supreme Long Huang and the others were dumbfounded. They stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

This Jiang Chen—it was impossible to comprehend his abilities!
