At this moment, the State Preceptor was invincible. None of the countless powerful figures present were a match for him. Everyone saw Jiang Chen intercept the State Preceptor’s attack, but no one realized that he had only barely managed to block it by borrowing the power of the Infinite Heavenly Stele—and even then, he had been injured. Were it not for the Infinite Heavenly Stele, even with his current physical strength, which was comparable to a Five-Heaven Great Emperor, he would have been severely wounded or even killed.
After blocking the attack, Jiang Chen quickly retreated, distancing himself from the area. At the same time, he accelerated the activation of the Imperial Seal, continuously absorbing the curse energy. While absorbing this power, he also had to divert his attention to suppress it. He knew that the State Preceptor was at his peak and that he could not afford a direct confrontation.
"Damn it!" the State Preceptor cursed in fury. He could not fathom how Jiang Chen had survived his attack. He lunged toward Jiang Chen again, who continued to fall back, maintaining his distance. The two chased each other, quickly leaving the main battlefield behind.
