Chapter 1688: One thousand nine hundred and ninety-four, the situation is getting worse.

Oppressing the weak with the strong?

No, it’s merely following your example!

Since you, the Saint of Taiqing, and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign set the precedent, don’t blame me, Jiang Chen, for following suit and carrying forward your fine traditions.

"Die!"

With those words, Jiang Chen struck once more.

This time, to assert his dominance, he did so with utter ruthlessness. Worried his strength might not suffice, he even harnessed the power of the Nine States’ Original Source.

In that instant, Jiang Chen’s power surged, the essence of the Nine States enveloping him, propelling his cultivation to the Primordial Chaos 9th Level.

"Die!"

As the word fell, unseen ripples spread outward. Heaven and Earth’s myriad paths resonated in unison, and the force of annihilation swelled like a starry sea, bypassing even Pangu Taiqing’s divine protection, silently and inevitably invading the minds of the Innate Ghost Gods.

Without any resistance, the True Spirits of those Innate Ghost Gods shattered one after another; their eyes lost all brightness as their existence faded away.

"Jiang Chen, how dare you!"

It was only then that Pangu Taiqing and others realized what was happening. But by the time they intended to intervene, it was already too late—the Innate Ghost Gods had been slain by Jiang Chen.

If one does not attain Primordial Chaos, one is destined to be an ant.

Save for those Great Divine Transcendents whose bodies had already achieved Primordial Chaos, even Quasi-Saint experts are nothing more than ants before a Supreme Saint, easily eradicated.

Among these Innate Ghost Gods, not a single Great Divine Transcendent stood. Yet they dared oppose Jiang Chen, even going as far as to openly provoke him.

From the moment they stepped forward, their fate was sealed—they were bound to die without exception.

Do you not see, even Chan Teaching’s Golden Immortals, personal disciples of Saints themselves, dare not provoke Jiang Chen at this moment? And these Innate Ghost Gods, most of whom are merely registered disciples of Saint avatars, how could they summon such audacity?

"Dare?"

"What is there in this Prehistoric World that I, Jiang Chen, would not dare to do? The Netherworld is mine today, no matter who comes—it won’t change a thing."

After having advanced so seamlessly for so long, Jiang Chen now felt a surge of irritation at encountering resistance, a fire of rage burning within him, urging him to destroy everything before him.

The fact that Jiang Chen was able to rally so many Great Divine Transcendents was not merely due to mutual interests but primarily because of his own unrivaled strength.

Because he was strong, those Great Divine Transcendents valued him, believing he had the capability to succeed.

Therefore, especially at this moment, Jiang Chen could not afford to lose—he had to keep winning. Only in this way would those who placed their faith in him continue to rally closely around him.

Conversely, if he suffered consecutive defeats, it would likely shake morale and drive many Great Divine Transcendents away.

The Netherworld—come what may, Jiang Chen was determined to seize it, and through this triumph, once again prove his strength to the world.

"Star Lord, worry not—we have come to assist you."

Jiang Chen’s display of dominance bore immediate results. In no time, several dozen Great Divine Transcendents spoke up, manifesting countless avatars to stand behind him.

Because of Jiang Chen’s feats—transporting Kunlun Mountain and reconstructing Sumeru Mountain—many Great Divine Transcendents had chosen to align themselves with him.

Had Jiang Chen earlier shown signs of weakness, these Great Divine Transcendents would have naturally reconsidered, pondering whether to continue supporting him.

But now that Jiang Chen had displayed overwhelming dominance, his posture invincible, and expressed his resolve to reform Chaos World, what reason did these Great Divine Transcendents have to hesitate? Clearly, they had to step forward and show their support for Jiang Chen—to indicate their stance.

At this point in time, if they didn’t step forward, how could they claim to support Jiang Chen? The Saint of Taiqing might have the backing of Great Divine Transcendents, but did Jiang Chen not have his own?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As one Great Divine Transcendent after another stepped forward, Jiang Chen, initially at a disadvantage, not only recovered the balance but even seemed to gain the upper hand.

Though the Saint of Taiqing had more Great Divine Transcendents by his side, their factions lacked unity, falling far short of the cohesion displayed by Jiang Chen’s allies. Thus, the power they could unleash naturally paled in comparison to Jiang Chen’s forces.

"Many thanks, fellow Daoists!"

"With the aid of esteemed Daoists, conquering the Netherworld shall be but a trifling matter."

Bolstered by a sudden influx of Divine Transcendent allies, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a surge of heroism. What was the insignificant Netherworld? With so many comrades rallying to his cause, even the Heavenly Realm was within reach.

Finally, he was no longer fighting alone.

"You all..."

Though Pangu Taiqing had anticipated this outcome, he still found it hard to accept when witnessing it firsthand.

The Great Divine Transcendents supporting Jiang Chen mostly hailed from the lineage of Kunlun Mountain. Logically, these individuals ought to be the staunchest supporters of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign—the most loyal adherents.

And yet now, they had all turned their backs on the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and instead chosen to align themselves with his greatest adversary.

The sight of this was impossible for Pangu Taiqing to ignore, stirring feelings of betrayal that left his heart deeply troubled.

"Reforming Chaos World is the tide of destiny, especially given that Daoist Jiang Chen carries Pangu’s True Spirit and is innately destined to support this undertaking."

"And now, Daoist Taiqing chooses to go against the current—such actions cannot help but make one wonder if Daoist has forsaken their own origins." freёweɓnovel.com

Jiang Chen advanced step by step, weaving verbal barbs as he pressed closer.

Being Pangu’s True Spirit was indeed Pangu Taiqing’s most significant advantage, but it was equally his greatest vulnerability. His stance did not favor his opposition to Jiang Chen, and his identity forbade it.

By his very nature, he was fated to assist Jiang Chen in reforming Chaos World. Only by doing so could he truly align with his identity.
