This illusion is way too strong! Lin Feng inwardly lamented.

The ‘illusion Jiang Chen’ currently stepping on his head was not only of Earthly Origin cultivation but also highly skilled in Buddhist techniques.

That ‘Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon’ that nearly finished him in an instant could very well be a superior-grade secret manual!

How was he supposed to fight this?

He had barely met the illusion and was almost instantly defeated!

Still, Lin Feng had no intention of giving up. He gritted his teeth, running the Seven Purifications Annihilation Technique at full strength, unleashing all his cultivation in one breath and concentrating it in the black blade in his hands.

After barely breaking free from the suppression of the Buddhist power, he swung his blade in a counterattack.

Jiang Chen leaned back, and the black blade grazed past his nose.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Feng leaped up and created some distance between them.

He was drenched in cold sweat. His all-out strike had not posed any threat to the illusion.

What was even more infuriating was at this moment, he was in a terribly sorry state, whereas the illusory Jiang Chen still had a faint smile on his lips.

“Something’s off with this illusion, it’s best to retreat for now!” Old Man Tianji advised.

“Retreat?” Lin Feng was reluctant.

If he retreated in the face of an illusion today, how would he defeat the real Jiang Chen in the future?

What if it affected his Dao Heart if he kept fleeing time and time again?

As he pondered, Jiang Chen moved again, his body’s Buddhist light becoming even more dazzling.

The Buddhist light formed a layer of golden armor on his skin, and his figure grew larger as the golden armor enveloped him, quickly transforming into a towering golden statue.

He brought his hands together while murmuring: “Om Mani Padme Hum!”

Golden characters formed by the Six Syllable Mantra emerged from his mouth.

As they rotated, they grew larger, and the golden light on the characters became more intense, illuminating the dark abyss as if it were a golden world.

Lin Feng watched the floating Six Syllable Mantra, his eyes slightly dazed.

Emotions such as obsession and desire in his heart were all converted and erased by the seal, making him feel like a sage without wants or needs.

He dropped the black blade on the ground and slowly walked towards Jiang Chen. Just as he was about to bow down in worship and hoping Jiang Chen would convert him…

“Wake up! This is a Buddhist Sect demon monk!” Old Man Tianji’s shout rang out.

When the voice fell, a chill air rushed into Lin Feng’s head and snapped him back to clarity.

Once again, Lin Feng felt a chill after creating distance.

He was the Son of Destiny. Yet just now, he had the thought of kneeling before this illusion.

This illusion was simply terrifying.

“I just used my soul power to try to discern his true appearance. But the result is, he’s not an illusion, but the real Jiang Chen!” Old Man Tianji’s voice was extremely grave.

“What?!”

Lin Feng was completely dumbfounded. He is actually the real Jiang Chen?

He had come to the Buddha Temple to squat in the big prison, and Jiang Chen still wouldn’t let him go?

Moreover, he clearly remembered that months ago, Jiang Chen was of Human Origin cultivation, but now he had reached Earthly Origin. And now, he had learned several superior-grade Buddhist Sect techniques?

How could his growth rate be faster than the Son of Destiny?

“This person is strange, we can no longer ignore him.”

Old Man Tianji realized the seriousness of the situation and said solemnly, “I can’t sense the presence of Jiang Chen’s protector, so this is the best opportunity to kill him!”

“But aren’t you limited in soul power? If you possess me again and fall into a coma, what then?” Lin Feng was somewhat worried.

The time when Old Man Tianji was asleep was too suffocating for him.

He did not want to repeat the same mistake unless it was a last resort.

“It’s fine, I will retain some soul power to stay conscious. This stepping stone must be crushed today! Otherwise, it will be an endless trouble!” Old Man Tianji added.

Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded.

He had just been too shocked and almost forgot that even if Jiang Chen was strong, he was only a Core Formation cultivator.

But if Old Man Tianji took over his body, his combat power could match that of an upper four realms cultivator.

As long as no one helped, he could indeed crush him!

“Alright.”

After exhaling, Lin Feng let go of his mind.

Old Man Tianji didn’t hesitate, immediately taking control of his body.

A visible chill air emerged from within him, and as he was enveloped in this chill air, his cultivation aura instantly soared.

Controlling Lin Feng’s body, Old Man Tianji slowly rose from the ground and floated in the air.

He said as he looked down at Jiang Chen, “How could you have learned a superior-grade secret manual? Tell me, then I’ll grant you a quick death!”

This was important because even he could not make a Core Formation cultivator learn a superior-grade secret manual.

If he could get this secret from Jiang Chen’s mouth, then Lin Feng’s growth would undoubtedly become faster and stronger.

“Old man, don’t you claim to be knowledgeable about the past and present, to know fate and to understand the future?”

Jiang Chen sneered, “Why don’t you guess? If you guess right, I’ll send you on your way?”

Upon hearing this, Old Man Tianji’s eyes widened. His identity had been exposed again!

The last time Jiang Lianyue tried to crush Lin Feng in the latrine, someone had also pointed out his identity.

He had been brooding over this matter, wondering if it was an old enemy who had deliberately revealed his identity.

Unexpectedly, apart from Jiang Lianyue, Jiang Chen also knew of his existence!

“You must not be left alive!” Old Man Tianji’s eyes turned cold.

With that said, he reached out with his right hand.

A withered hand made of condensed spiritual energy appeared, reaching down from above and heading straight for Jiang Chen’s head.

Seeing the large hand approaching, Jiang Chen didn’t dodge or avoid it but simply shifted his mind.

Then there is a flash of golden light. The next second, the withered hand was caught on an ancient and simple imperial bell.

The bell was covered with obscure and difficult-to-understand runes, and its flowing light moved like a dragon circling around it.

The attack of the withered hand caused the ancient bell to tremble slightly.

“Boom!”

With just a light ring, the ancient bell shattered the withered hand, and the residual force almost made Old Man Tianji fall from the air.

“This is… an ancient artifact!!”

After stabilizing his figure, Old Man Tianji was shocked!

He was decisive in his actions. Knowing that with this ancient artifact protecting Jiang Chen and it would be difficult to kill him, he immediately fled towards the distance, planning to escape.

Jiang Chen had anticipated this and chased after him, stepping on an azure lotus.

In terms of speed, Old Man Tianji was slightly faster. But his soul power was limited and could not last. Therefore, as long as Jiang Chen kept up, he would eventually catch up.

The two chased each other for half an hour.

Realizing that the consumption of soul power was too great, Old Man Tianji finally stopped.

Then he directly retreated back into the spirit ring, returning control of the body to Lin Feng.

“???”

Taking control of his body again, Lin Feng was full of question marks.

What did this mean?

Unable to beat him and unable to escape, so he let himself come out to take a beating?

Did he have no shame at all?!

“Cough cough.”

Old Man Tianji coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment and said, “You’re young and the Son of Destiny, so you can endure more.”

Lin Feng was speechless.

“Don’t worry, at most you’ll just take a beating. Think about it, Jiang Chen never intended to kill you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to escape alive back in Lingshan Town,” Old Man Tianji comforted him.

Thinking about it, Lin Feng felt there was some truth to it.

Not only that, during the sect’s test, Jiang Chen had spoken out against the injustice towards him.

When he was about to take the poison pill, Jiang Chen also stopped him.

Overall, it seemed Jiang Chen just liked to beat him up…

But even so, that was not okay! After all, who likes to be beaten up? Especially him, the Son of Destiny.

Just as Lin Feng was considering whether to use some reverse psychology to get Old Man Tianji to come out and take the beating.

“Boom!”

A figure with blood-red hair and a striking appearance descended from the sky.

This person landed in front of Lin Feng while stomping on the ground. A violent aura swept around.

This person was the Martial Emperor.

The Martial Emperor saw Jiang Chen, who was rapidly approaching, and immediately said with a cruel smile:

“Jiang Chen! Prepare to die!”
