Dragon-Marked War God

Only with Great Emperor Dao Essence could the Sui Tian Seal be used. As for how terrifying the Sui Tian Seal was, Jiang Chen couldn’t even be sure whether he would be able to use it at all. After all, the Dao Essence in his body was far, far too little, so faint it was barely there. But Jiang Chen had no other choice now. He could only go all out, and in the end, success or failure was not something he could control.

But if he didn’t take the gamble, he would be gradually devoured by the lightning origin. He could already feel his strength failing, and even his will was beginning to waver. Even with his Myriad Qi Body, Jiang Chen had no way out at all.

The Sui Tian Seal was his only option! But using the Sui Tian Seal required Great Emperor Dao Essence, and could that feeble Dao Essence really control the Sui Tian Seal? Jiang Chen truly had no way of knowing.

“I’ll go all out. If I can use the Sui Tian Seal, this thing is dead for sure.”

Jiang Chen felt neither joy nor sorrow. He decided to take the gamble and give it a try. It was a desperate last resort, but it was much better than having no chance at all. His loved ones were still waiting for him. He absolutely could not fall here.

“Sui Tian Seal, it’s all up to you.”

With a thought, Jiang Chen urged that trace of feeble Great Emperor Dao Essence and began to use the Sui Tian Seal. Although this was the first time Jiang Chen had used it, he absolutely could not be the slightest bit careless. Success or failure hung on a single thought. Even if there was only the tiniest chance, Jiang Chen didn’t want to let it slip.

That trace of Great Emperor Dao Essence coursed through Jiang Chen’s limbs and bones. Just as Jiang Chen was preparing to use the Sui Tian Seal, that trace of Dao Essence burst out of his dantian and, at a terrifying speed, rushed through his heart. Jiang Chen formed seals with both hands. How strong the Heavenly Derivation Seal was, Jiang Chen didn’t know, but at the very least it was absolutely not something anyone below the Great Emperor Realm could withstand. Even a Divine Emperor Realm expert probably couldn’t. Because it could only be used with Great Emperor Dao Essence, ordinary Great Emperor Realm experts would probably have to avoid its edge as well.

Jiang Chen knew that when he used it, it would never have the grandeur of a Great Emperor, nor would it be like a Great Emperor Realm expert using it. As long as he could crush this Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning, that would be enough.

“Sui Tian Seal, rise!”

Jiang Chen struck out with a palm, but nothing changed at all. Jiang Chen’s heart sank to the bottom along with it. Had that faint trace of Dao Essence vanished without a trace after all?

Jiang Chen struck out several more palms in a row, but there was not the slightest sign of anything. His heart was even falling into a bit of despair.

“I refuse to believe it! Sui Tian Seal! Go!”

Jiang Chen used it one last time. At this moment, the hand seal between his palms suddenly changed. A heaven-destroying aura shot out from Jiang Chen’s palm seal. That terrifying palm seal was like a comet exploding. With a soundless roar, it struck out with irresistible force and completely destroyed the giant lightning dragon. That was the giant lightning dragon formed from the origin power of the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning, and Jiang Chen crushed it outright. The moment the Sui Tian Seal came out, heaven and earth changed color, and a dazzling streak of light shot up from the Lightning-Gathering Peak beyond the nine heavens!

“That is…”

“Could it be Jiang Chen underground?”

“Impossible. Jiang Chen died long ago, suppressed by the Second Palace Lord. It must be the Heavenly Lightning in the Lightning-Gathering Peak acting up.”

The Heavenly Lightning was in turmoil and all eight directions trembled. Everyone was filled with fear.

Dragon Shisan and Dou Qing both looked toward the top of the Lightning-Gathering Peak. That streak of light exploded outward and made all of them feel their hearts pound, because if that streak of light struck them, they would surely die!

“Is that the power of a Divine Emperor Realm expert?”

A Battle God Clan elder behind Dou Qing murmured.

Dou Qing’s face was ashen as he shook his head.

“Even a Divine Emperor Realm expert might not be able to withstand that strike. It would take at least the Mid Divine Emperor Realm. Divine Emperor Realm experts are not omnipotent either.”

Dou Qing’s words also shook Dragon Shisan’s heart greatly, leaving him somewhat aghast. Was Jiang Chen’s strength really that great? Or was it truly the Heavenly Lightning in the Lightning-Gathering Peak acting up? Then wouldn’t Jiang Chen be…

“Impossible! Jiang Chen must still be alive. He must be!”

Dragon Shisan was absolutely certain in his heart. No one dared to go even a little closer to the Lightning-Gathering Peak. They all backed away, because if they were caught up by that terrifying light, their souls might very well be scattered.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed. Had the Sui Tian Seal really succeeded?

The silver-white giant lightning dragon collapsed in an instant, and the lightning origin of the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning was also heavily injured. It could never have imagined that Jiang Chen could unleash such terrifying power.

“It’s actually Great Emperor Dao Essence. Impossible, this is impossible…”

Zheyu couldn’t believe at all that this Great Emperor Dao Essence had been unleashed by a little fellow at the Early Hierarch Realm. And that terrifying aura was something it would never forget. Having barely escaped death, its lightning origin was now almost completely exhausted. Only by struggling with everything it had did it manage to preserve its lightning origin.

The same was true for Jiang Chen. Although he had used the Sui Tian Seal and defeated the lightning origin of the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning, his body was also about to give out. The next moment, he felt as if his body had been hollowed out. There was not a single trace of Dao Essence left in his body, and most frightening of all, he felt that his essence, energy and spirit had all been drained. If not for his Myriad Qi Body barely holding him up, he might have collapsed long ago.

“Soundless and traceless, yet irresistible. Too powerful.”

Jiang Chen’s heart turned cold. Even he himself couldn’t believe that he had been the one to use the Sui Tian Seal. Jiang Chen suddenly felt like he had survived a catastrophe. He had very nearly lost control of the Sui Tian Seal. The Dao Essence in his body was so weak it couldn’t withstand a single blow. He had only used the Sui Tian Seal with thirty percent of its power, yet it had such explosive might. That magnificent scene left Jiang Chen with lingering fear.

No one knew what Jiang Chen had gone through when he used the Sui Tian Seal. The shock of the Dao Essence sublimating within his body was something Jiang Chen would never forget for the rest of his life. Had it been anyone other than him, that vast, majestic energy would probably have sucked even the strength of ten Half-step Divine Emperors completely dry. It was far too terrifying.

“Now what else do you have to say? Wasn’t your lightning origin so awesome? Now let’s see who is going to devour whom.”

Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the extremely weak lightning origin within the Lightning-Gathering Peak. The smile at the corner of his mouth grew ever brighter!

At the same time, in the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Dragon Prison, the Earthly Fire Hell, a hoarse voice slowly drifted out:

“Is that the Dao Essence power of a Great Emperor Realm expert…”
