Chapter 303: Half-step Transcendence Realm Powerhouse, Yu Hong

"Cease your insolence and yield your life to me!" The eyes of the gray-robed Yu Hong flashed with murderous intent. Without holding back, he unleashed the power of the Early-stage Transcendence realm, targeting the ordinary Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators.

"Your opponent is me." Jiu Xiaoyin, disregarding his injuries, burst forth with the power of the Early-stage Transcendence realm, transforming into a dark beam and stopping Yu Hong in his tracks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two clashed fiercely, the impact resonating throughout.

In an effort to prevent the aftermath of their battle from causing harm to the human cultivators, Yu Hong had to divert a portion of his power to neutralize the residual forces. This immediately placed him at a slight disadvantage.

A deep, resonating laugh echoed through the air. "Ha ha ha ha!"

"The human race's Transcendence realm great powerhouse has been intercepted, attack!"

"With Lord Bo Lang holding the fort, not only will these human prodigies die, but that human great powerhouse will also fall!"

"Today, we will erase the Lustrous Yang Domain, leaving neither chicken nor dog alive!"

One after another, powerful Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators stormed towards the arena. Their intimidating aura drained the color from the faces of the prodigies inside.

A shocked young prodigy gasped, "How can this be?!"

"With such an army of Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators, victory is impossible!"

"Damn it, we're trapped!"

The faces of the human prodigies were etched with despair. They might be geniuses, but they were still in the early phases of their journey.

Confronted by so many Dao Palace realm enemies, their desire to fight was stifled by a feeling of helplessness.

Bang! Bang!

The forceful thuds resounded as the demon race hammered the protective formation around the arena.

Spiderweb-like cracks swiftly expanded across the barrier of the formation, making it appear as if it would shatter any second.

"Holy Son Jiang Chen, you need to leave!" Peng Shi of the Dao Palace realm stared intently at Jiang Chen, declaring, "You're the sole hope for our Immortal Martial Continent. Many of us can perish, but not you!"

One voice concurred, "Exactly!"

Another urgently exclaimed, "Holy Son Jiang Chen, we'll provide cover. Make your escape!"

Two additional prodigies from the Dao Palace realm voiced their intentions, their eyes alight with determination.

"We'll do the same!" The rest of the prodigies set their unwavering gazes upon the demon race's powerhouses outside the formation, prepared to give their lives for Jiang Chen's safe retreat.

With a faint smile, Jiang Chen observed the demon race beyond the formation, opting not to say a word.

Then, with a sharp sound, the protective formation of the arena turned into countless points of light, dissipating into the vast expanse of the sky.

"Despicable human, I won't go down without a fight!"

Fear was evident in the eyes of the Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators. While some sent out desperate cries for assistance, others mustered their courage and chose to retaliate.

Meanwhile, the countenances of both Jiu Xiaoyin and Bo Lang underwent a drastic transformation, mirroring sheer astonishment.

Had Jiang Chen truly launched seventeen strikes, each embodying the strength of the Half-step Transcendence realm? Could this imply that his battle prowess was on par with the Transcendence realm?

The very thought was staggering, unimaginable, and challenging to digest!

Furthermore, Jiang Chen's unforeseen display of power left Jiu Xiaoyin and Bo Lang completely caught off guard, rendering them unable to lend a hand.

Jiu Xiaoyin found himself already ensnared in his duel with Yu Hong. As for Bo Lang, even if he were to disregard his wounds, mustering the might of the Transcendence realm wasn't something he could do in a blink. It demanded a brief period of focus.

But within that fleeting moment, a span that seemed eternal for beings in the Transcendence realm, the battlefield was turned on its head!

Bo Lang thrust out his hand, channeling his Transcendence realm strength in a desperate bid to counter Jiang Chen's blazing sword beams. However, he could only stare in dread, realizing he was a hair's breadth too late. The agonizing sight of Jiang Chen's sword beams drilling through the craniums of his comrades met his gaze.

The haunting melody of swords slicing through skulls played repetitively.

The once defiant faces of the Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators twisted in ghastly terror before they plummeted, their voices stilled for eternity.

Among the human cultivators, this sight ignited a fervor of cheers and elation.

Yet, it rendered the eyes of both Bo Lang and Jiu Xiaoyin aflame with an ire that seemed boundless!

"Jiang Chen, you are nothing! I swear I'll kill you!" Bo Lang's eyes turned even deeper blood-red, his robes billowing more intensely as he emanated a terrifying Transcendence realm aura, surging towards Jiang Chen.

Now fully immersed in the battle, his strength surged to the Middle-stage Transcendence realm.

"Let's see who kills whom!" Jiang Chen retorted with a colder smirk. With a mere flick of his hand, both the Wordless Heavenly Jade and the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo sprung to life simultaneously, draining the qi and blood energy and the cultivation base from the seventeen Dao Palace realm powerhouses.

"Die!" In a blink, Bo Lang stood before Jiang Chen, his long-handled scythe cutting through the air with the overwhelming might of the grim reaper.

The sheer force of the Middle-stage Transcendence realm burst forth, with myriad Great Dao forces, overshadowed by darkness, swirling powerfully, instantly changing the very colors of heaven and earth!

'Breakthrough! Dragonization! Heavenly Blood Surge Secrets! Void Tribulation Soul!' Jiang Chen's multiple aces were unleashed at once.

With the vast cultivation base recently acquired, he instantly broke through to the Late-stage Dao Palace realm.

Swiftly, he changed into his dragon-human hybrid form: his eyes turned long and narrow, his face became sharper, with majestic purple dragon horns rising from his forehead. His entire body was enveloped in black and purple crystalline dragon scales, and his hands shifted into fearsome dragon claws.

Then, the Heavenly Blood Surge Secrets activated, with thick plumes of blood mist emerging and swirling around him.

But the spectacle didn't end there!

In a mere heartbeat, the souls of Jiang Chen, Shangguan Ning, and Nangong Wan fused together, permitting Jiang Chen to momentarily command the capabilities of two Void Tribulation realm powerhouses.

A deluge of Great Dao forces, vastly superior to Bo Lang's, filled the heaven and earth in a flash, staunchly subduing Bo Lang's Great Dao forces with unmatched might.
