63: I am your father, the conspiracy is revealed

Boom!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted.

Jiang Chen's and Ao Ya's fists collided squarely.

Centered on the two of them, the ground beneath their feet instantly cracked open like a spiderweb, and endless, deep fissures spread wildly in all directions.

The terrifying shockwave transformed into a visible white Qi wave, sweeping outward in a ring, crushing everything in its path, whether boulders or withered trees, into dust.

Yu Meier and Wen Yan, who were farther away, were forced to retreat repeatedly by the impact of this power. Yu Meier even had to raise a pink spiritual energy shield to barely protect them both.

"My goodness..." Wen Yan watched the two figures clashing like primordial Vicious Beasts in the distance, his eyes nearly popping out in shock.

He knew Ao Ya's Physical Body was monstrous, but he never expected that his own Saint would be this fierce!

To be able to trade blows head-on with a pure-blooded Dragon Clan member, just how powerful must that Physical Body be?

Yu Meier's beautiful eyes were also filled with shock.

In the center of the battlefield, after that single exchange, Jiang Chen and Ao Ya each retreated three steps.

An even match!

Jiang Chen shook his slightly numb fist. Black Devilish Qi surged on his arm, quickly repairing the Meridians damaged by the Dragon Qi.

He looked at Ao Ya opposite him, the Battle Intent in his eyes growing stronger.

"A little interesting."

Opposite him, the shock in Ao Ya's heart was far more intense than Jiang Chen's.

His pair of golden vertical pupils stared intently at Jiang Chen, filled with disbelief.

Who was he?

The Seventh Son of the Dragon Emperor!

He inherited the purest True Dragon Bloodline, and his Physical Body strength was unmatched among those of the same stage!

Even when facing a typical Ninth Realm Saint Cultivator, he was confident in fighting!

Yet this Human Race member, who was only at the Mahayana Early Stage, actually... actually matched him in Physical Body strength!

How could this be?!

"You are not Human Race!" Ao Ya's voice carried seriousness for the first time. "Who exactly are you? You carry the aura of a demon!"

"I am your father." Jiang Chen smiled. "What? Unconvinced?"

"You seek death!" Ao Ya was completely enraged.

For him, being matched by a Human Race member in the Domain he was most proud of was a greater humiliation than losing the fight!

"Roar!" He let out a Dragon roar that shook the nine heavens, holding nothing back.

Dragon Qi soared into the sky, condensing behind him into a thousand-zhang-long majestic Dragon phantom.

Golden Dragon scales appeared layer upon layer on the surface of his body. His hands transformed into sharp Dragon claws, and his aura surged several times over compared to before.

"Today, I will tear you apart!"

Ao Ya's figure vanished again. This time, only a string of golden afterimages was left in the Void Realm.

He launched a storm of attacks, circling Jiang Chen.

Every claw strike carried the sharpness to tear space, and every kick contained the enormous force to shatter mountains.

Jiang Chen was completely unafraid. The Dao Yan Heavenly Demon Scripture circulated to its maximum within his body, and pitch-black Devilish Qi emerged from beneath his skin, covering his entire body.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The two fought from the ground to the sky, and then back from the sky to the ground.

Wherever they passed, the earth fractured and space trembled.

Their fighting style abandoned all flashy Divine Ability, relying entirely on bloody, fist-to-flesh combat.

Ao Ya clawed towards Jiang Chen's head, but Jiang Chen dodged sideways, simultaneously driving an elbow hard into his ribs.

Ao Ya cried out in pain and countered with a sweeping Dragon tail strike. Jiang Chen did not dodge, crossing his arms to forcefully block it. He was swept hundreds of meters away, smashing through a small mountain.

The next second, Jiang Chen shot up from the ruins, completely unharmed, his Battle Intent increasing rather than decreasing.

"Refreshing! Again!" He laughed loudly and actively charged toward Ao Ya.

The two clashed again, fighting until the sky and earth grew dim.

However, just as the Battle Intent of both men peaked, a sudden change occurred!

The fragment of the Ancient Tomb where they were located suddenly began to shake violently.

In the sky, the spatial fissures, which had been relatively stable, began to grow violent, and streams of gray Chaos Qi rushed out frantically.

The ground beneath their feet also began to fail under the force of their power, leading to large-scale collapse.

"Not good!" Wen Yan's expression changed drastically in the distance, and he cried out.

Jiang Chen and Ao Ya noticed the anomaly simultaneously. They stopped fighting by tacit agreement and pulled back from each other.

Ao Ya's golden pupils stared intently at Jiang Chen. "Today, consider yourself lucky."

He said coldly, "The next time we meet, I will certainly take your life! I have noted that Thunder Dragon Heart."

After speaking, he did not linger, transforming into a golden streak of light and rapidly fleeing toward a direction where the space was relatively stable.

Jiang Chen did not pursue.

This space had become unstable due to the previous battle, and the priority was to leave quickly.

He returned to Wen Yan and Yu Meier, glanced at the Thunder Dragon Heart clutched tightly in Wen Yan's arms, and shook his head: "Was it worth almost losing your life for this thing?"

"Worth it! Why wouldn't it be worth it!" Wen Yan said with a pained expression. "Saint, you don't know, with this thing, I... I feel like I can ascend to heaven!"

"Enough, let's go quickly." Jiang Chen led the two of them, swiftly flying toward the direction of Nangong Mingyue on the System map...

Meanwhile, in another area, Yuan Haotian, who had been rescued, slowly regained consciousness.

"Cough... cough, cough..." Yuan Haotian coughed violently. Every movement pulled at his broken bones, sending agonizing pain through him.

He struggled to sit up, took out a Medicinal Pill from the side, and consumed it.

The Medicinal Pill transformed into a warm current, repairing his damaged body.

After a long time, his face recovered a hint of color.

"Jiang Chen!!" He roared out loud. He wanted revenge! Immediately! Right now!

But he forced himself to calm down.

"Jiang Chen... don't you want Opportunity? Don't you pride yourself on your great strength?" he muttered softly.

A vicious plan slowly took shape in his mind.

"If I cannot obtain it, don't even think about getting it yourself!"

"I want to see how you will cope when you become everyone's enemy!"

Moments later, pieces of news, both true and false, rapidly spread through the Ancient Tomb space via the Disciples of several forces friendly with the Tianyuan Divine Dynasty.

"Have you heard? Jiang Chen of Hongtian Holy Land found three chaos dao fruit!"

"What? chaos dao fruit?!"

"That's right! It is said that by refining that chaos dao fruit, not only will one's cultivation soar, but one can also catch a glimpse of the Saint realm, and even reaching the Dao Integration Realm in the future would not be difficult!"

"Is the news reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable! His Highness, the Crown Prince of the Tianyuan Divine Dynasty, saw it with his own eyes!

Jiang Chen severely injured His Highness, the Crown Prince, just to monopolize the treasure! Now he is leading that enchantress from the Joyful Union Sect around, searching for other treasures!"

"It is rumored they also obtained Quasi-Emperor level Cultivation Technique and even Emperor artifacts!"

This news instantly stirred up a reaction among the crowd.

Immediately, countless Cultivators who had entered the Ancient Tomb, regardless of whether they were righteous or wicked, became restless.

Everyone's gaze began, consciously or unconsciously, to search for Jiang Chen.
