18: Chapter 18 The Soul-Capturing Eyes, Past Events Reappear

"Burn my ancestral blood!" In his panic, Jiang Zhen immediately burned the hidden ancestral Bloodline within his body, and an extremely terrifying power instantly erupted from him, transforming into raging flames that surged upward, wrapping around him like a sun.

However, as he burned his ancestral blood, lightning had already struck his armor, causing cracks to appear on it.

His flesh was mangled.

Fortunately, the ancient ancestral Legacy blood burned in time to annihilate the lightning, sparing Jiang Zhen from death.

Even so, Jiang Zhen was still blasted backward by the lightning for a hundred meters, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

"How is this possible! How can someone as young as you possess power rivaling the eleventh realm?"

Jiang Zhen looked at Xie Wushang in disbelief.

The eleventh realm, that was the Great Saint Realm!

In the Cangyuan Realm, the path of Cultivate was divided into fourteen realms in total.

They were:

First: Body Refining: (Tempering tendons and bones to make the Physique as sturdy as bronze tendons and iron bones.)

Second: Awakening Realm: (Awakening the Physique)

Third: Cave Heaven Realm: (Opening up cave heavens with the power of the spiritual body, manifesting visions)

Fourth: Divine Treasury: (Unlocking the power of the corresponding Physique's Divine Treasury)

Fifth: Nascent Pill: (Compressing the spiritual body's power into a Nascent Pill with spiritual sense)

Sixth: Nascent Soul: (Condensing into a Nascent Soul)

Seventh: Divine Ability Realm: (Condensing a Dharma manifestation with the power of the Nascent Soul, capable of moving mountains and filling seas)

Eighth: Venerable Realm: (Transforming the Nascent Soul into a Primordial Spirit, emerging from its shell) (General-grade Evil Spirit)

Ninth: Saint Realm: (The Primordial Spirit controls the power of Law) (King-grade Evil Spirit)

Tenth Realm: Saint King: (Controlling both Laws and Divine Abilities)

Eleventh Realm: Great Saint: (Cultivating nine types of Law Divine Abilities)

Twelfth Realm: Quasi-Emperor: (Touching upon the Emperor Realm Profound Truth)

Thirteenth Realm: Great Emperor: Bearing the Great Dao of that Law. (Emperor-grade Evil Spirit)

Fourteenth Realm: Heavenly Emperor: Bearing the Great Dao Laws of the entire Small World (Supreme Emperor-grade Evil Spirit)

Xie Wushang before him was not even thirty years old yet possessed strength rivaling a Great Saint.

If he continued to grow, who could match him beneath the Great Emperor?

"Merely the eleventh realm, what is there to boast about? It is you instead, knowing full well that I possess the Jiang Clan Bloodline, yet you sought to capture and kill me... Who gave you the guts!" Xie Wushang reached out with a large hand, black and white Qi intertwining in the air like two long rivers sweeping toward Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen's body moved, immediately soaring upward into the high sky, trying to flee.

At the same time, he guided a hand incantation, causing flames to surge and evolve into suns that bombarded toward the black and white Qi.

As those suns crashed down, each one was like a mountain, carrying raging flames that smashed the Void Realm directly inward.

Stirring up ten thousand layers of fire waves.

However, the black and white Qi surged upward furiously, Dao patterns blooming within it as dark red lightning flashed, shattering the vault of heaven and smashing those suns apart one by one.

Immediately afterward, the lightning struck Jiang Zhen's body, and Jiang Zhen, who had already burned his ancestral blood, was directly blasted with his armor shattering, plummeting from the sky.

Xie Wushang guided with his large hand, and the black and white Qi acted like silk ribbons, binding Jiang Zhen and rolling him to his side.

"Speak, who sent you to capture and kill me!" Xie Wushang asked with a cold and stern gaze, full of majesty.

"Xie Wushang, how audacious! I am a Saint of the Jiang Clan; if you touch me, the Jiang Clan will definitely not let you off." Jiang Zhen roared.

"Obstinate and unyielding!" Xie Wushang's gaze turned cold, and as he guided his hand incantation, the black and white Qi binding Jiang Zhen flashed with lightning.

Boom!

Jiang Zhen was blasted into ashes, leaving only his Primordial Spirit and storage ring suspended in the air.

His Primordial Spirit flashed, preparing to escape through the void.

"Can you leave?" Xie Wushang moved his large hand, causing the air to cave in and directly manifesting a black and white Domain.

Jiang Zhen's Primordial Spirit fell into the Domain, entering a black and white world.

Wisps of black and white Qi swept over, binding his Primordial Spirit and rendering his Primordial Spirit power completely unable to move.

Xie Wushang flicked his large hand, drawing Jiang Zhen's storage ring into his palm.

"Soul-Capturing Eye!" Afterward, Xie Wushang's gaze flashed as black and white Dao patterns intertwined between his brows, manifesting an upright eye.

This eye was condensed by Xie Wushang using Law, capable of capturing souls and seizing souls, possessing numerous Divine Abilities.

As it blinked slightly, Dao charm permeated, seeping into Jiang Zhen's Primordial Spirit.

Instantly, Jiang Zhen's mind trembled, and his whole person lost consciousness.

Within Xie Wushang's pupils, however, images flashed.

That was a river of time, within which Jiang Zhen's life flowed.

Flowing backward from the events that occurred to him recently, all the way to his birth.

Several important scenes among them were watched closely by Xie Wushang.

The first image was precisely Jiang Zhen meeting the Holy Lord's wife, Wang Zhiyin.

"Was it sent by this old hag!" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed.

The second image was a scene of his father, Jiang Tianxing, stepping into the Quasi-Emperor Realm and representing the Jiang Clan to head to the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Within the Jiang Imperial Clan, on a divine platform, Jiang Tianxing and his second younger brother, Jiang Jingyang, were about to embark on a distant journey, with countless people from the Jiang Clan coming to send them off.

Among them was an old man bidding farewell with a face full of concern.

This old man was named Jiang Daoran.

Jiang Daoran tidied Jiang Tianxing's clothes, "Tianxing, this trip away, you must be careful!"

Jiang Tianxing did not show much expression, appearing very indifferent, as if his relationship with Jiang Daoran was not very good.

"Why is Father so distant with Grandpa?" Xie Wushang pondered inwardly.

Afterward, there was a middle-aged man coming to see them off nearby.

This man wore purple-gold battle armor and had a robust figure; it was Jiang Mo.

"Young Lord, it is said that the Outer Realm Imperial City has Calamity Sovereigns knocking on the gates; this time, you must take care of yourself!" Jiang Mo said worriedly.

"Haha, merely Calamity Sovereigns; when I return, I will definitely bring back their heads." Jiang Tianxing said with a heroic laugh.

On the other side, the Holy Lord's wife, Wang Zhiyin, was seeing off another man, her son, Jiang Jingyang.

"My son, if you encounter danger, do not forget to head to the Jiang Imperial Clan's Outer Realm Imperial City; our clan's Great Emperor guards it there." Wang Zhiyin said.

"Mn!" Jiang Jingyang nodded, then looked at Jiang Tianxing, "Big Brother, let's go!"

Jiang Tianxing nodded, and the two flew into the teleportation spatial gate high in the sky, leaving the Jiang Clan.

"Jiang Jingyang... So Father had a half-brother." Xie Wushang murmured.

Relying on Jiang Zhen's memory, he already understood many things about the Jiang Clan thoroughly.

Afterward, he locked onto another image.

That was a peak outside the Jiang Clan.

A young Jiang Tianxing sat cross-legged atop it.

At this time, he had not yet stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

He closed his eyes, flames surging within his body to gather into a sea of fire in the high sky, as a sun slowly rose.

Men wearing armor and riding dragon-scaled horses appeared out of thin air, surrounding and trapping him.

The man at the lead even threw down a Formation Flag, manifesting a Saint-level Domain to seal off the Void Realm within a hundred miles around Jiang Tianxing.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad. To have such dense solar sacred fire at only the eighth realm, and even implicitly containing a wisp of Emperor might."

"Presumably, with the ancient ancestral Emperor blood in your body, you should be able to banish the Evil Spirit Qi inside Young Master Jingyang's body, right?"

Men dressed in black looked passionately at Jiang Tianxing.

The man at the lead was precisely Jiang Zhen.

"These people... want to take the Legacy ancestral blood from Father's body?" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed, killing intent suffusing.

At the peak of the mountain, Jiang Tianxing opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and looked indifferently at Jiang Zhen.

"Is your trip here to take the ancient ancestral Emperor blood from my body to cure my second younger brother's illness?" Jiang Tianxing said with a cold and stern gaze.
