"Roar!"
The Black Mist Serpent let out a roar, its body trembling as it instantly swelled from the length of a zhang to over ten zhang long.
Wrapped in black mist, a vast and boundless aura emanated from the serpent, bearing down fiercely on Jiang Chen and the two others.
Wu Qianxun and Dong Tianchen's faces changed, shock registering in their eyes.
Almost simultaneously, the two of them exclaimed in astonishment, "Heavenly Human Realm? This serpent has reached the Heavenly Human Realm!"
Jiang Chen's heart clenched tightly, and gritting his teeth, a look of madness flickered in his eyes.
"Haha... Despair! Thanks to the sacrifices by Master Hirano and Master Sanjing, the avatar deity of the great god has reached the Celestial Realm. All of you will become nourishment for the great god. Come, accept the most glorious moment of your lives!" Shanye Cunfu laughed heartily.
Wu Qianxun, Dong Tianchen, including the three patriarchs of the Tang Family, Mo Family, and Lou Family who were fighting nearby, and a crowd of Innate Peak Great Grandmasters from the various major families who lay on the ground unable to even stand, all revealed looks of despair.
The patriarchs of the three major families including the Tang Family simply gave up fighting and retreated, while the two Semi-Venerables from the Ouyang Family did not pursue them but turned to look at the Black Mist Serpent in midair.
The reason why the Heavenly Human Realm is called such is that it signifies a step between the heavens and the mortal dust.
With that step, one becomes akin to a heavenly being.
All below the Heavenly Human are mere ants; against the power of the Heavenly Human Realm, it's not a matter of numbers if you're not of their level, for reaching the Heavenly Human Realm is the most significant transformation in the path of cultivation.
This was the cause of everyone's despair!
Thump, thump, thump!
A series of muffled sounds came, and everyone was taken aback, turning to look in the direction from which the sounds originated.
Yan Hu had not stopped fighting due to the invincible aura emitting from the Black Mist Serpent, and at that moment was already forcing the Head of the Lin Family to retreat step by step, with slaying him being only a matter of time!
Hum, hum, hum!
Another fluctuation came, and once again everyone turned their heads in unison.
The disturbance emanated from a swirling vortex in front of Jiang Chen, where a shadowy dragon was rapidly taking shape.
Seeing Jiang Chen and another still striving to defeat their enemies, everyone's eyes revealed a look of unbearable sympathy.
The Black Mist Serpent in the distance looked down at Jiang Chen with disdain, its gaze showing a hint of mockery as it watched him with interest.
"Head of the Jiang Family! Just give up," Dong Tianchen softly said, trying to comfort him, "He possesses Heavenly Human Realm strength, we... simply can't be his match!"
"Impossible? In my dictionary, there's no such word as impossible!
And there's never been a concept of surrendering without a fight or giving up without resistance!"
Jiang Chen spoke resolutely, "Are you all dead? Since you are not, even if you think everyone is doomed, then why not perish with some semblance of a fight?
To die lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai, by waiting to die like this, you are even lighter than a feather!
A martial artist who has lost the will to fight, do they even deserve the title of a martial artist?
No wonder you remain at such a level despite your ages, having lost even the heart of a martial artist; this is probably all you'll ever amount to in this lifetime!"
Jiang Chen was the youngest among them all.
Yet his reprimand resonated like the tolling of temple bells, striking heavily in their ears.
It made everyone pause for a moment and caused their hearts to tremble fiercely!
The heart of a martial artist, huh?
The heart of a martial artist... we have it too!
We, too, once had the courage to fight against any strong opponent, but... this is the Celestial Realm!
Just as a stir of rebellion was about to rise in everyone's heart, feeling the invincible aura surrounding them snuffed out that spark of courage instantly!
Hum!
Suddenly, a surge of imposing aura soared into the sky, and before that invincible presence, it seemed like a tiny boat entering the vast sea, yet it stubbornly radiated outward.
"The heart of a martial artist, perhaps I don't have, but the heart of loyalty and support, I, Wu Qianxun, absolutely cannot lack. Our clan has waited a thousand years, finally seeing the appearance of a brilliant gem. Since Mr. Jiang, you wish to continue the fight, then I, Wu Qianxun, will accompany you in battle!"
Wu Qianxun bowed deeply to Jiang Chen and, turning to look at the Black Mist Serpent, his eyes filled with a cold murderous intent as he slowly raised the dagger in his hand.
Boom!
A muffled sound came as Yan Hu fiercely punched the Family Head of the Lin Family right in the heart, shattering it completely. With a flash, he appeared beside Jiang Chen, casting a cold gaze at the Black Mist Serpent.
"Today, let us create a miracle and defeat this so-called Celestial Realm being!"
Jiang Chen glanced at Yan Hu, a gratified smile on his face, and he cried out valiantly.
He then turned his head toward the Black Mist Serpent, his eyes brimming with a bloodthirsty murderous intent.
Pff!
With a thought, Jiang Chen forced out a mouthful of Essence Blood and sprayed it onto the vortex in front of him. His face instantly turned pale, and with an effort strained to its utmost, he roared, "I awaken the Divine Dragon with my Essence Blood, aid the Divine Dragon, Dragon Moves Nine Provinces!"
"Ao!"
A loud dragon's roar resonated; an overwhelmingly powerful and domineering aura burst forth from the golden vortex in front of Jiang Chen!
"So strong!"
"Really strong!"
"But... it has not reached the Heavenly Human Realm!"
Everyone exclaimed in shock. Just as a hint of joy appeared on their faces, they realized that the domineering aura had not reached the Celestial Realm.
Suddenly, they each showed a bitter smile, as despair once again surfaced on everyone's faces.
"Ao!"
Humming!
Another resounding dragon's roar sounded, the domineering aura growing even more intense.
Then, a huge dragon's head emerged from the vortex in front of Jiang Chen. It rushed forward swiftly, followed by its body, and then its tail.
In the blink of an eye, a thirty-yard long Divine Dragon stood proudly in the air in front of Jiang Chen, and the golden vortex in front of him had completely merged into the body of the Divine Dragon.
"Divine Dragon, kill this foul serpent!"
Jiang Chen bellowed.
"Ao!"
The Divine Dragon roared loudly and rushed towards the Black Mist Serpent at high speed.
"Saber, come!"
Jiang Chen extended his hand, and the Blood Saber nearby trembled slightly before flying towards him and landing in his grasp.
"Kill!"
Jiang Chen roared, his figure flashing as he charged at the Black Mist Serpent, following the Divine Dragon.
Wu Qianxun and Yan Hu promptly charged alongside him.
"If even these youngsters can muster the courage to fight for their fates, are we old folks truly afraid of death? Even if we are to die, we cannot just sit here and wait for it!"
The Lou Family Patriarch shouted angrily, his aura bursting forth as he charged straight for the Black Mist Serpent.
Old Master Tang, Old Master Mo, and Dong Tianchen were all shaken to their core, their eyes revealing a long-lost passion.
"Then let us be young once again! Old Lou, don't think you can play the hero alone! If I am to die, my death will weigh as heavy as Mount Tai!"
Hum!
Old Master Tang roared, his aura unleashing as he followed the Lou Family Patriach in the charge.
Humming!
Old Master Mo and Dong Tianchen exchanged glances and charged forward together, both revealing an insane glint in their eyes, their lips curling up slightly as if they had rediscovered the vigor of their youth!
In the midst of their charge, Old Master Mo and Dong Tianchen glanced at Jiang Chen, who was slashing at the Black Mist Serpent with his saber, and they began to understand why people with such strength as Yan Hu held such respect for Jiang Chen.
It was a purely leader's aura.
Jiang Chen was born to be a king!
