Chapter 283

The All Heaven Mirror illuminated the sky, cascading silvery-white light. Jiang Chen bathed in this radiant glow, appearing as if clad in a silver-white armor.
His majestic figure was awe-inspiring, akin to an emperor traversing the heavens, subduing all realms, and gazing dominantly over the myriad worlds!
With both hands pushing forward, as if wielding the sun and moon, Jiang Chen charged directly into the ancient battlefield!
The overwhelming aura rippled across the eight directions, stirring countless phenomena.
The long-desolate battlefield rumbled loudly. Layers of restrictions spread across the heavens and earth, and dreadful remnants of ancient laws surged forth.
These were the residual principles of past battles, deeply etched into the world over countless years, forming natural formations of immense power. Even those at the Saint Realm dared not approach, as touching such power could annihilate them entirely.
Saint Realm experts would retreat without hesitation, while even quasi-emperors had to tread with extreme caution.
—
At this moment, Jiang Chen, embodying the Great Accomplishment Body, traversed the battlefield with unrivaled dominance.
Countless restrictions roared and transformed into endless killing intent, surging toward him like an unending river. The mighty power of this battlefield struck fear into the hearts of all living beings.
“Saint Realm experts cannot enter!”
“The reputation of the ancient battlefield is well-deserved. Even from this distance, I can feel my heart pounding!”
“If I ventured within without the protection of an Emperor Weapon, I’d face almost certain death!” The Holy Master of Pure Yang rarely showed such solemnity, his eyes flickering with dread and caution.
The terrifying fluctuations of the ancient battlefield, spanning countless territories, were enough to unsettle him.
“It’s no wonder no one dares step into this forbidden zone after so many ages!”
“This is indeed a life-forbidden zone. The power of these natural restrictions is immeasurable and perilous. For anyone at the Saint Realm, stepping inside would mean certain death. Only a quasi-emperor might barely withstand it!”
“If I entered, I wouldn’t fare much better! Among the Nine Heavens Realm, perhaps only those monstrous beings can tread unhindered here!” The Emperor of the Qin Dynasty spoke in a deep tone, his gaze profound.
The higher one’s cultivation, the more terrifying these ancient battlefield restrictions seemed. Even the rulers of immortal forces were deeply cautious before such a place. Without the protection of an Emperor Weapon, it was almost certain death.
Now, it seemed that only Jiang Chen, with his Great Accomplishment Body, could roam with such impunity.
—
“Is he really entering the forbidden zone to seek out the Ye Clan’s Emperor?”
As Jiang Chen delved deeper into the battlefield, the Phoenix Sovereign’s eyes flickered with astonishment.
This Great Accomplishment Body truly possessed boundless courage. No wonder he hailed from the Primordial Holy Land—a place known for producing maniacs bold enough to challenge even an emperor.
Even if this emperor had self-severed a portion of his power, his strength remained unimaginable. This was something others wouldn’t dare to even dream of doing.
Yet Jiang Chen was truly doing it.
—
“It seems that he does have such an intent!”
“Does he plan to kill the Ye Clan Emperor today?”
“It’s not impossible. The Primordial Holy Land produces madmen, and even when faced with the True Dragon Emperor in the past, this Great Accomplishment Body showed no fear!”
“Truly ferocious!”
“The people of the Primordial Holy Land are all lunatics!”
“One wonders what the Ye Clan is feeling right now!”
As the crowd discussed, their gazes frequently shifted between Ye Changhe and the Holy Master of Primordial Holy Land.
The current situation had completely shifted with the appearance of the Ye Clan Emperor. The focus was no longer on the Heavenly Fox Clan or the Ancient Imperial Clan, but on the clash between the Primordial Holy Land and the Ye Clan.
If a battle truly erupted, the victor would determine the future landscape of the Nine Heavens Realm, becoming the undisputed supreme power.
Even though the Ye Clan’s foundation rivaled that of the Primordial Holy Land, the presence of their emperor alone was enough to deter all challengers.
However, if the Great Accomplishment Body emerged victorious, the result would be even more decisive. No one would dare to oppose him. Not even emperors—or Ancient Emperor—could withstand him. They stood no chance.
—
Ye Changhe’s expression fluctuated as his gaze darkened. He had not expected the Primordial Holy Land to have such a trump card in the form of a Great Accomplishment Body.
It was one thing for such a physique to exist, but for it to dare challenge their clan’s ancestor was beyond audacious. Unlike the others, Ye Changhe knew the truth of their ancestor’s condition.
The ancestor could not act lightly. If he emerged from the Divine Source, his declining vitality might leave him weakened, unable to endure until the opening of the Immortal Path.
Regret flashed through Ye Changhe’s eyes. They should not have let the ancestor act. Waiting a little longer would have been better.
Now, the sudden appearance of the Great Accomplishment Body had completely disrupted their plans—throwing the Ye Clan Emperor’s strategy into disarray.
—
Taking a deep breath, Ye Changhe noticed the spiritual senses of countless individuals fixed upon them. Slowly, his expression regained its calm.
With a cold tone, he declared, “How can a mere Great Accomplishment Body compete with an emperor?”
“A firefly’s light cannot shine alongside the brilliance of the full moon. It’s laughable! It won’t take long before we witness the fall of this so-called Great Accomplishment Body.”
Pausing momentarily, he turned to the Holy Master of Primordial Holy Land, speaking icily, “The moment the Great Accomplishment Body falls will also be the moment your holy land is wiped out!”
These words were like a declaration of war, confirming what everyone had suspected—an irreconcilable conflict.
Hearing this, the Holy Master of the Primordial Holy Land remained calm, casting a strange look at Ye Changhe.
She replied coolly, “Your ancestor is far less confident than you are. A self-severed Ancient Emperor cannot be compared to an emperor. Besides, who will emerge victorious remains uncertain!”
Though her words were light, they carried an undeniable weight. The tension in the air was palpable as the Holy Master of Primordial Holy Land struggled to maintain composure.
Deep inside, however, unease gnawed at her. Even though the Ye Clan Emperor had self-severed his cultivation, he had once been a true emperor. His battle strength was unimaginable, while Jiang Chen’s Great Accomplishment Body could not yet unleash its full potential. The outcome was uncertain.
—
“A flawed path, this body is not truly your own,” a cold voice echoed, brimming with disdain. “Using a borrowed physique to imitate its power, you dare challenge an emperor’s dignity? How arrogant.”
Despite his fallen cultivation, the Ye Clan Emperor’s insight remained unparalleled. His sharp gaze pierced through Jiang Chen’s ruse at a glance, seeing through the depths of his power.
The ancient emperor could hardly believe it—this Saint King, relying on the Great Accomplishment Body, dared confront him directly. Not only that, but Jiang Chen intended to kill him. Such arrogance was not merely audacious; it was outright rebellion against the natural order!
The revelation stunned everyone.
“So this isn’t an unblemished Great Accomplishment Body—someone is inhabiting it!”
“And it’s… Jiang Chen!”
The realization dawned like a thunderclap, shocking the gathered experts. A Saint King was brazenly facing off against an Ancient Supreme, harboring intentions to kill him. It was beyond reckless—there were no words to describe such boldness.
