81: The prince died, the emperor was angry

In that instant, Yuan Haotian clearly felt death approaching.

Jiang Chen's appearance completely surpassed his understanding!

There was no tearing of space, no spiritual Qi fluctuations, he just appeared out of thin air!

What kind of terrifying movement Divine Ability was this?!

"Guards! Quick, protect me!"

The shadow of death enveloped his heart, and Yuan Haotian let out a hysterical scream.

Although the Crown Prince's personal guards behind him had long been terrified by Jiang Jiu's heaven-reaching methods, their duty compelled them to grit their teeth and charge forward with roars.

"Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Kill!"

Several powerful attacks—flashing blades, sword shadows, and Divine Abilities—instantly sealed off all space around Jiang Chen.

However, Jiang Chen didn't even spare them a glance.

"I told you, no one can save you."

Before his words finished, his figure once again became illusory, disappearing from its original spot like a reflection in water.

Those attacks, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, all missed, only creating a ripple of shockwaves on the spot.

"Where is he?!"

"Be careful!"

The personal guards were greatly alarmed, their Divine Thoughts frantically sweeping, yet they couldn't capture a trace of Jiang Chen's aura.

Yuan Haotian was even more on high alert, activating his True Dragon Body to its peak, golden Dragon scales covering his entire body as he vigilantly defended himself from all directions.

"He's... he's behind you!"

Someone in the crowd let out a terrified shriek.

Yuan Haotian's heart tightened. Without thinking, he turned and unleashed a punch, a Dragon roar shaking the heavens, the force of his fist enough to blast apart a large mountain!

But he hit nothing.

Behind him, there was no one.

"No... not..."

That Cultivator's voice became stuttering with fear, "He's... he's behind him..."

Everyone followed the direction he pointed.

They saw Jiang Chen's figure, at some unknown moment, had appeared behind that terrified Crown Prince's personal guard.

He extended a finger, demonic light flickering at its tip, and lightly tapped the personal guard's back.

"Pfft!"

That personal guard, who possessed a Late Stage Soul Transformation cultivation, didn't even have time to let out a scream. His Protective Aura shattered like paper, and his entire body exploded into a mist of blood.

Jiang Chen raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the horrified crowd, and once again landed on Yuan Haotian.

"Yuan Haotian, you're next."

Yuan Haotian felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to his head!

"Ah ah ah! Jiang Chen! You go too far!"

Yuan Haotian completely went mad; he could no longer endure the fear of death possibly striking at any moment.

He roared, burning his vital essence, and his entire being transformed into a golden divine rainbow, actively charging towards Jiang Chen!

"Nine True Dragon Strikes!"

He unleashed nine consecutive punches, and nine golden Divine Dragon phantoms roared out, each containing world-destroying power, sealing off all of Jiang Chen's escape routes!

He wanted to use his fierce attacks to force Jiang Chen into a head-on confrontation.

Facing these violent attacks, Jiang Chen finally stopped dodging.

He slowly raised his right hand and chuckled softly.

His five fingers spread open, and within his palm, streaks of dark Qi permeated the air.

Dao Yan Heavenly Demon Scripture!

The nine roaring golden Divine Dragons, upon contact, were all completely swallowed and annihilated without even causing a ripple!

"What?!"

Yuan Haotian's eyes nearly popped out; his attack, fueled by burning vital essence, was so easily resolved?

And in the instant he lost his composure...

Jiang Chen's figure disappeared again.

Universe Reversion Art!

A cold and emotionless voice echoed in Yuan Haotian's ear.

"In your next life, be reborn well and become a smart person."

In that moment of life and death, Yuan Haotian let out the most desperate shriek of his life!

The instinct for survival squeezed out the last trace of True Dragon power from his body.

At the same time, an ancient Dragon-shaped jade pendant on his chest suddenly erupted with ten thousand rays of golden light!

Roar!

A Dragon roar, shaking the Nine Heavens, emanated from the jade pendant.

An incredibly solid golden Dragon phantom coiled out, forming an indestructible shield that tightly protected Yuan Haotian within it.

That Dragon phantom emanated an aura far surpassing that of a Saint!

"Jiang Chen! You can't kill me! You can't kill me!"

Seeing the Dragon phantom, Yuan Haotian laughed wildly again.

"Once my Imperial Father descends, he will surely tear you to pieces!"

Jiang Chen looked at the Dragon phantom, the mockery on his lips growing even more pronounced.

"Just a mere will, nothing more."

"You think you can stop me?"

The moment his voice fell, Jiang Chen's Dao Yan Heavenly Demon Body was fully activated!

Under the terrifying destructive power, the Dragon phantom shield was quickly torn open with a huge gash!

"How... how could this be..."

Yuan Haotian watched helplessly as that demonic Qi-shrouded hand pierced through his last barrier and pressed against his forehead.

Bang!

A muffled thud.

Yuan Haotian's head exploded like a watermelon!

He then fell backward limply, crashing heavily to the ground.

The Crown Prince of the Tianyuan Divine Dynasty, dead!

His body and soul utterly destroyed!

Yuan Haotian... just died like that?

And in the instant Yuan Haotian died...

From within the shattered Dragon-shaped jade pendant, an extremely majestic and terrifying will finally descended!

A golden phantom, towering between heaven and earth, slowly condensed in the Void Realm.

The Emperor of the Tianyuan Divine Dynasty!

Yuan Canglan!

"Insolent brat... how dare you kill my son!!!"

A voice filled with endless rage and killing intent resounded through the sky.

Terrifying power swept out!

However, Jiang Chen merely stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

"I killed your son."

Jiang Chen looked up, meeting Yuan Canglan's gaze, and spoke calmly.

"Is there a problem?"

"You... seek... death!"

Yuan Canglan's phantom was utterly enraged!

He had never seen such an arrogant junior!

After killing his son, he still dared to speak to him in such a tone!

He raised a giant hand, formed from golden light, intending to cross the endless Void Realm and directly obliterate Jiang Chen!

But just then, Jiang Jiu's silent figure once again stood in front of Jiang Chen.

A similarly vast Dao Integration Realm aura soared into the sky, completely blocking Yuan Canglan's aura.

"Yuan Canglan."

Jiang Jiu spoke.

"If you don't want your Tianyuan Imperial Dynasty to be annihilated, then retreat now."

Yuan Canglan's movement abruptly froze.

His gaze was fixed on Jiang Jiu, his golden eyes filled with apprehension.

He recognized Jiang Jiu.

Hongtian Holy Land, a follower of the Seventh Ancestor!

A true Dao Integration Realm Great Power!

If his true body had descended, it would be a different story, but this phantom of his will was simply not enough!

"Good... very good!"

Yuan Canglan laughed in extreme anger, his voice chillingly cold.

"Hongtian Holy Land! Jiang Chen!"

"The grudge for killing my son is irreconcilable!"

"This Emperor remembers you! When the day comes, I will surely have your head separated from your body, and you will be torn to pieces!"

After uttering his threats, the golden Emperor Lord phantom slowly began to dissipate.

He knew that with Jiang Jiu present, he couldn't kill Jiang Chen today.

However, just as his phantom was about to completely vanish...

Jiang Chen's calm voice once again leisurely sounded.

"No need to wait for another day."

"Clean your neck and wait on your imperial throne."

"It won't be long before I personally come to your door and take your head."

"I will uproot the foundations of your Tianyuan Imperial Dynasty, generation after generation!"

Yuan Canglan's dissipating phantom violently trembled.

The killing intent in his eyes almost materialized!

In the end, he said nothing more, and carrying endless rage, completely vanished between heaven and earth.

As the Emperor Lord's phantom disappeared, the oppressive aura also dissipated.

Outside God Burial Valley, it was a mess.

Ao Ya of the Myriad Demon Cave and Mo Yuan of the Netherworld Demonic Cult had already quietly retreated amidst the chaos.

Are you kidding me!

They dared to kill the Crown Prince of the Tianyuan Divine Dynasty and even openly threaten the Emperor Lord upon his descent.

If they stayed any longer, were they tired of living?
