Chapter 1 The Ancient Saint's Inheritance
(Brain storage, author saves it as a token of respect)
In the mortal realm,
In the Eastern Wilderness Prefecture, Myriad Beast Mountain,
A woman in white was disheveled, her delicate body revealing large swathes of snow-white, lustrous skin, inviting endless imagination...
Jiang Chen's gaze inadvertently fell upon those alluring curves. A charming blush stained her jade-like, cold and indignant face...
With a swish,
Lin Xiyue's long sword was only an inch from Jiang Chen's throat. Her beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Speak! Are you in league with that demoness?"
Bewilderment flashed across Jiang Chen's eyes.
I didn't die!
He was the most outstanding disciple of Immortal King Chóngmíng from the Immortal Realm.Immortal King Chóngmíng, by chance, obtained a Saint's inheritance - the Heaven Swallowing Chaos Scripture, but was betrayed by his beautiful martial aunt.
As a result, Chóngmíng Immortal Domain was besieged by eight Immortal Realm Emperors, who sought to seize the treasure.
Before Immortal King Chóngmíng died, he handed the scripture to Jiang Chen, hoping he could escape and avenge him. However, fate was not on his side. Jiang Chen was eventually cornered and forced to jump into the Heavenly Abyss.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not die, but he also transmigrated into an earthling of the same name!
At the time, he felt a warm softness in his embrace and thought he was dreaming. He instinctively did what he did.
Although he took advantage of the situation, he refused to take the blame. Jiang Chen said righteously,
"What demoness? I am a mere mortal, how could I know a demoness?"
Lin Xiyue focused her True Essence into her eyes.
Indeed, the young man before her was about twenty years old and hadn't even reached the Qi Condensation Realm. Her killing intent did not diminish.
If Jiang Chen had revealed even a trace of a flaw, she would have pulverized him!
"Still not admitting it? You used an evil art to steal half of my power! If you weren't colluding with a demoness, how could you have had this opportunity!"
Although Jiang Chen tried his best to remain calm, cold sweat still trickled down his forehead.
"I was merely passing by. This situation was not my doing! Besides, I clearly remember that you were the one who initiated it..."
Lin Xiyue was stunned and immediately recalled everything from the previous night. A blush spread across her swan-like, beautiful neck.
She was the Saintess of the Taixuan Sword Sect, Lin Xiyue. She was ordered by the sect to capture the demoness. Just as she was about to win, she accidentally fell victim to the demoness's Succubus Aphrodisiac Poison.
She intended to force it out using the mountain stream's water but happened to encounter Jiang Chen. Even she could barely fight off the demon's poison, let alone this man who wasn't even at the Qi Condensation stage.
Lin Xiyue, with her naturally cold and indifferent nature, was flustered by this sudden event.
She put away her sword.
"Considering it was unintentional, I will spare your life. Remember, act as if this never happened!"
Jiang Chen's gaze caught sight of the bloodstains under the fairy's white robe. He was momentarily dazed, then looked sincerely at the woman before him, who was like a fairy, and said earnestly,
"Although it was unintentional, as a responsible man, I will take responsibility for you!"
Lin Xiyue's beautiful eyes widened. This man was tall and slender, reasonably handsome, and had an air of pride about him.
It was a pity that his talent and cultivation were extremely poor. The difference in their status was like heaven and earth. They might never meet again.
"Perhaps it is fate. You have gained half of my power. If you have great perseverance, this power might help you embark on the path of a warrior."
Then, a gentle breeze blew, and Lin Xiyue gracefully departed.
Jiang Chen watched the elegant figure disappear into the horizon, feeling both fortunate and a little disappointed. This woman was not bloodthirsty. She was too powerful; if she had truly harbored killing intent, a single thought from her might have meant his instant death.
...
As the memories merged,
Jiang Chen's thoughts gradually cleared... He was no longer in the Immortal Realm, but had transmigrated into another world!
This was a chaotic world overrun by monsters and demons!
Ten thousand years ago, the Monster Race and Demon Race tore through the void and descended upon the world. They fed on the Human Race, and human warriors built city walls with flesh and blood to resist them, fighting for the last sliver of habitable land with their lives!
Even so, waves of monsters continued to invade.
To this day, only one corner remains of the world's nine great regions!
And he was the son of Tianwu City's strongest expert, Jiang Lie. Although his talent was poor, under his father Jiang Lie's protection, he lived a relatively happy life and was engaged to Su Wei, the eldest daughter of the Su family.
Five years ago, after Jiang Lie rushed to the demon-monster battlefield, news of his sacrifice arrived. From that day on, Jiang Chen's status plummeted, and he endured endless humiliation within the clan.
He and his grandfather were driven to the most remote and dilapidated courtyard in the Jiang Family. During the clan elder's division of property this time, in order to occupy more family assets, his admired clan brother Jiang Feng colluded with Su Wei to trick him into the Myriad Beast Mountain Range. If not for sheer luck, Jiang Chen would have long been devoured by ferocious beasts...
Perhaps due to the merging of memories, Jiang Chen felt as if it had happened to him.
"Such ruthless methods. If I hadn't transmigrated, it would have been a certain death situation."
Thinking of the disgusting faces of Jiang Feng and Su Wei, and the humiliation he had suffered in the clan over the years, a surge of anger and hatred welled up in his heart.
"It's just... this talent is too terrible. No wonder he was bullied to this extent..."
He began cultivating martial arts at the age of eight, entered the Body Tempering Stage One at ten, and for the next ten years, he made no progress whatsoever. He had successfully earned the reputation of being the greatest trash in Tianwu City.
"Sword Emerges Boundless, Nine Nether Ash Annihilation!"
"Great Luo Immortal Dao Art!"
"Golden Immortal Sword Canon!"
Jiang Chen tried several Immortal Realm cultivation techniques, but this world didn't even have immortal energy. How could he cultivate immortal arts? Despair suddenly welled up in his heart. In this situation, not only could he not return to the Immortal Realm to avenge his master, but he might also die of old age within a hundred years. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.
"That fairy said I absorbed half of her power. If that's true, it's not impossible to cultivate again!"
He sat cross-legged and circulated his True Essence.
An anomaly occurred!
Countless runes gathered, and a strange world seemed to open up in Jiang Chen's spiritual consciousness.
Divine light shone brilliantly, exuding profound mystery, as if evolving creation, the birth of all things. Within his spiritual consciousness, lines of mysterious and profound text appeared, transforming into a golden book ten thousand feet tall!
The first five characters glowed resplendently - Heaven Swallowing Chaos Scripture!
Jiang Chen was overjoyed. In his previous life, his talent and comprehension were extraordinary, which led Immortal King Chóngmíng to take him as a disciple and impart everything to him. At that time, he had also observed this scripture with his master, but all his attempts to comprehend it were in vain.
Could falling and being reborn be the way to unlock this scripture?
Jiang Chen's heart grew more excited as he saw the profound and obscure nature of the scripture. It was worthy of being a Saint's cultivation technique that had caused turmoil in the Immortal Realm.
Every character in the scripture was carved by a powerful being, containing infinite true meanings of the Great Dao.
The first sentence alone left Jiang Chen utterly shaken.
"All living beings in the world can be used by me, and all Dao techniques and divine abilities in the world can be obtained by me!"
As he continued to read, Jiang Chen became increasingly astonished. Devouring the blood and essence of all beings for one's own use – what an overbearing cultivation technique!
Even the top-tier Immortal Realm cultivation techniques imparted by Immortal King Chóngmíng in his previous life were vastly inferior. Could such a terrifying and domineering divine technique truly be the inheritance of an Ancient Saint?
It completely overturned the normal cultivation model! Regardless of the world, talent determines everything. Some people are favored by heaven, born superior, with heaven-defying aptitude and infinite potential. Their cultivation progresses at a thousand miles a day.
They will become powerful figures controlling one region in the future, while those born mediocre, even if they cultivate diligently, will reach a limit in their lifetime that even a prodigy achieves in a day. How unfair!
This scripture completely overturned this cultivation model. Devouring the blood and essence of all spirits for one's own use was nothing short of outright robbery.
Upon reaching the extreme,
Nothing could not be devoured; one could even seize heavenly opportunities!
Although it was a Saint's inheritance, it was terrifyingly like a demonic art. If it were in the past, he would never have cultivated such a bizarre technique.
But now, not only had his cultivation been lost, but the body he inhabited had such poor talent that he could barely sense the elemental energy of heaven and earth. Even if he possessed other cultivation techniques, he couldn't practice them. If he wanted to seek revenge, this might be the only path available.
He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and circulated his True Essence according to the scripture.
*Rumble!*
A terrifying and vast aura emerged from Jiang Chen.
A pair of giant eyes materialized out of nowhere within his Qi Sea. They slowly opened, emitting boundless might.
The sun and moon revolved within them, stars extinguished, as if a divine demon.
Having absorbed Lin Xiyue's power, the True Essence in his Qi Sea was like a vast ocean. If his foundation were sufficient, Jiang Chen could have soared to the heavens. But the Saint's scripture used this power to reshape Jiang Chen's meridians.
The majestic True Essence swept through his body. Wherever it passed, the meridians would shatter and then condense again. The reshaped meridians, although not wide, were indestructible, with faint golden runes embedded within them!
True Essence flowed through the meridians according to the scripture.
His cultivation, which had not progressed for ten years, began to climb step by step.
Body Tempering Stage Two!
Body Tempering Stage Three!
Body Tempering Stage Four!
...
It only slowly stopped at Body Tempering Stage Ten.
This was akin to a rebirth. Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes. His originally clear eyes were now as deep as an abyss, seemingly able to perceive all things.
It was late at night. Strange sounds echoed from the distant mountains. A huge wolf's head emerged from behind a tree, its eyes revealing greed and bloodlust, with saliva dripping, looking terrifying.
Jiang Chen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. The Saint's inheritance was too terrifying. Even though he had only grasped a fraction of it, the benefits were no less than being reborn from fire and reaching apotheosis.
But he still wondered what the scripture meant by "devouring."
While he was pondering, the demonic wolf suddenly leaped out, stirring up a foul wind!
Jiang Chen spun around abruptly, True Essence surging. His fist strike carried the force of wind and thunder, arriving after the wolf but hitting first.
*Boom!*
With a loud bang, the demonic wolf's pupils instantly dilated. Several bloody lines erupted from its massive body! It slowly lost its life, and a strange thing happened: waves of blood mist rolled off the wolf's corpse and madly surged into his body, transforming into True Essence within him.
"Fierce Wind Howl!"
Jiang Chen seemed to have gained some insight. He flicked his hand and activated it, and a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere.
It pulverized withered trees in the distance. This was the innate divine ability of a First-order Demon Beast, the Fierce Wind Wolf. He was inwardly shocked that he could not only devour the blood and essence of demonic beasts but also their divine abilities!
This scripture was exceptionally miraculous. He vaguely felt that once he mastered it, he would enter a new realm, perhaps even surpassing his former peak. Seeking revenge for his master would no longer be a fool's dream!
He clenched his fists, his deep eyes shimmering with endless hatred, and murmured,
"Whether in my past or present life, the trampling, humiliation, and hatred I have suffered will be repaid a thousandfold! Jiang Feng, Su Wei... prepare your necks, I will be coming for you soon."
Chapter 2 Seeking a Beating
Tianwu City,
Outside a small courtyard, a commotion had already attracted many onlookers from the neighborhood.
Two young men strutted arrogantly and domineeringly.
"Jiang Hai, how many years have you and your good-for-nothing grandson occupied this house? Now that he's missing, you should get out."
"Miss Su Wei is only coming to break off the engagement because your good-for-nothing grandson is missing. She's truly kind."
"What good-for-nothing? With Jiang Chen's IQ, he's at most an idiot. Tell me, how can our Jiang Family's assets be distributed to an idiot?"
"Of course. Only Young Master Jiang Feng, already at Qi Condensation Stage Eight at such a young age, is the kind of talent worthy of being the master of our Jiang Family."
An old man pleaded with a face full of desperation.
"My grandson might return these next couple of days. Please, give me a few more days. I'm afraid he won't be able to find me when he returns..."
The young man sneered.
"Return? He's not coming back! I heard someone saw your grandson's body in the Myriad Beast Mountain Range. I say, old man, you should go look for him in the Myriad Beast Mountain Range. Maybe you can even find a couple of bones back..."
"If you go too late, the bones might already be eaten by demonic beasts, hahaha..."
Their words shattered the old man's last shred of hope.
In recent days, the Su family had canceled their engagement with Jiang Chen, and now his grandson Jiang Chen was missing. Jiang Hai seemed to age ten years in an instant, his mind buzzing, almost collapsing.
His grandson, although poor in martial arts talent, had a kind heart and was very close to him.
Years ago, his once-proud son died on the battlefield. A white-haired person sending off a black-haired person – there is no greater grief in life. Could it be that he was about to lose his grandson now?
Jiang Hai was completely disheartened.
"Jiang Hong, Jiang Xuan, what are you doing!"
A young master with elegant demeanor walked towards them from where the voice came. He was handsome, with an extraordinary aura, and a warm smile that put people at ease.
Seeing this person, Jiang Hong and Jiang Xuan hastily bowed.
"Greetings, Young Master Jiang Feng. It was Elder Clan's order..."
Jiang Feng's gaze sharpened, and he rebuked,
"It doesn't matter who ordered it! Even so, Old Master Jiang Hai is your elder! Even if he was expelled from the Jiang Family for some reason, you cannot insult an elder like this!"
"Old Master, I'll make the decision today. You can stay in this courtyard for another half a month. You can move out after half a month."
Jiang Feng, the son of the new Patriarch of the Jiang Family, Jiang Changling. Unlike Jiang Chen, he was a heaven-chosen prodigy from birth. Both in talent and appearance, he was the cream of the younger generation and the pride of the Jiang Family. At only twenty, he was already at Qi Condensation Stage Eight.
Although his father, Jiang Changling, often had disagreements with Jiang Lie, he never extended his elders' grievances to Jiang Chen. When Jiang Chen was bullied, he often intervened and never showed any mockery; instead, he often gave Jiang Chen pointers on martial arts.
Old Master Jiang Hai cupped his hands towards Jiang Feng and, with vacant eyes, pushed open the courtyard gate and staggered inside.
As a cold wind blew, dead leaves fell.
The old man's back was incredibly desolate and sorrowful.
The surrounding onlookers whispered,
"Young Master Jiang Feng is still so magnanimous. I heard that when Jiang Lie was alive, he often took spirit medicine from the family to treat that trash's illness, which even affected Young Master Jiang Feng's martial arts path."
"I heard that too. Relying on his status as the Jiang Family's strongest expert, he almost emptied out the family..."
"The heavens have eyes! Letting him die on the front lines, otherwise, our Jiang Family would have been ruined by that father and son..."
"Alas, I heard some news these past couple of days. Jiang Lie didn't die in battle; he disappeared. The fighting on the demon-monster front was too fierce. Jiang Lie was afraid of death and became a deserter."
"Is there such a thing? Tell us more..."
The surrounding voices filled Jiang Feng's ears. A fleeting look of triumph appeared in his clear eyes, which then shifted to an expression of integrity.
"The matter of Jiang Lie deserting has not yet been confirmed. No one is allowed to speak carelessly. Furthermore, Old Master Jiang Hai has just lost his grandson; how painful must his heart be? How can you bear to..."
The surrounding villagers cast looks of admiration. Jiang Feng beamed, as if everything was under his control.
Inside the courtyard, the late autumn wind was biting, and the plants were withering. The old man's heart was like dead ashes, his cloudy eyes filled with indescribable grief and pain.
Outside the door, the crowd was enthusiastic, showering him with flattery, making Jiang Feng beam with pride, as if everything was under his control.
"Jiang Feng, you've gone to a lot of trouble to monopolize the Jiang Family's assets."
A cold voice suddenly rang out. The smile on Jiang Feng's face froze. He turned his head, his eyes filled with disbelief. He saw a familiar figure appear in the crowd – it was Jiang Chen, who was rumored to be dead in the Myriad Beast Mountain Range!
The surroundings erupted in a clamor.
"How did Jiang Chen return!"
"The Myriad Beast Mountain Range is fraught with danger and filled with countless monsters. This trash is truly lucky to be alive!"
"Some people are like calamities, destined to last a thousand years."
...
"Chen... Chen'er!"
Jiang Hai, in the courtyard, heard the commotion outside, his voice trembling. He rushed out in three steps, grabbed a slipper, and started hitting.
"Let you run around again... Let you go to the Myriad Beast Mountain Range again, you scared Grandpa to death!"
Although his memories had merged, this was the first time he had seen this old man. Jiang Chen, who should have felt some resistance, couldn't help but feel a pang in his nose as he saw Jiang Hai's tearful eyes and white hair.
In his memories, because he was foolish from childhood and his martial arts talent was extremely poor, no matter how others mocked or even bullied him, the old man had never shown any disappointment or blame. Instead, he often stood up for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen could feel the old man's deep love for him. His grandfather and father were the few sources of warmth in his memory. Looking at Jiang Hai's gray hair, Jiang Chen's gaze gradually solidified.
Since the heavens had given him a chance to be reborn, he would no longer allow his loved ones to be harmed.
"Grandpa, aren't I back?"
Jiang Chen comforted him softly.
"It's good that you're back... It's good that you're back..."
Jiang Hai wiped away his tears, then suddenly froze. Jiang Chen seemed somewhat different from before?
Although Jiang Chen's appearance was unchanged, his aura had undergone a complete transformation. Standing next to Jiang Feng, he was not at all inferior.
Seeing Jiang Chen suddenly appear, Jiang Feng's expression gradually turned grim.
"You're not dead!"
Jiang Chen sneered:
"Of course. You underestimated my strength. You only dumped me on the outskirts of the Myriad Beast Mountain Range. If you had gone deeper, your scheme might have truly succeeded!"
As soon as he said this, the crowd erupted in an uproar. What was Jiang Feng's status and talent? How could he do such a thing?
He said righteously,
"Jiang Chen, what nonsense are you spouting? I did go to the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, but only to slay a monster that was harming the villagers. I, Jiang Feng, act openly and honestly. How can I allow you to slander me!"
Jiang Hong and Jiang Xuan exchanged knowing glances. This was a good opportunity to curry favor with Jiang Feng.
"You trash dare to slander Young Master Jiang Feng? You're seeking death!
