*Chi* *Chi*

His Heavenly Dominant Palm had collided with Jiang Chen’s dragon claw. It was supposed to be an indestructible attack but what unfolded in front of them was unacceptable for the Grand Elder. His brilliant palm seal produced a ‘Chi’ sound and sparks were created as it got shredded by Jiang Chen’s dragon claw, eventually it crumbled and dissipated.

“How could this happen?”

The Grand Elder exclaimed. He finally knew how terrifying Jiang Chen was. He was shaken with a stunned expression, then waved his arm and a blue illuminating long sword materialized. That was the force of starlight. Jiang Chen could see it with just a look. This sword was of the same type with Nebula Sect. It seemed that this old guy’s cultivation technique was mostly similar to Nebula Kidd. He could absorb the force of starlight. This sword didn’t look ordinary. It was a very precious treasure. As Jiang Chen was finding some good materials to forge Nebula Kidd a new sword, he suddenly had this idea of bringing this sword back to build a new Nebula Sword. It would be a perfect material for it.

*Pu Chi*

Jiang Chen moved incredibly fast. In a split second, when the Grand Elder lost the long sword from his grasp. Jiang Chen’s dragon claw had clawed through his chest and crushed his heart, not even giving him a chance to swing the sword.

He was feeling the threat of death but it was already too late. Before he could wail, a powerful force crushed his body.

*Bang*

A Seventh Grade Minor Saint Grand Elder was instantly killed by Jiang Chen. His entire body had turned into powder. His sword was kept by Jiang Chen. One could describe his death as tragic.

*Hong Long*

In the meantime, Luo Chang Qing’s attack reached Jiang Chen. It was also his most powerful attack but it didn’t do a thing to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was overpowering while he was in human-dragon from. His physique alone had reached an unimaginable stage.

His dragon claw lunged forth, containing the True Dragon Palm Seal within it. The true dragon combat techniques was most powerful after he had transformed. Luo Chang Qing’s attack was instantly crushed. His sharp claws continued to move forward. The vast force had sent Luo Chang Qing back like a violent monster tide. One had to admit that Luo Chang Qing was stronger than the previous Grand Elder but it would still be effortless for Jiang Chen to kill him.

However, Luo Chang Qing’s facial expression changed dramatically. The scene where the Grand Elder was killed was truly frightening. It had sent a huge blow to his self-esteem. Before today, he couldn’t imagine what the scene would be like, when a Third Grade Minor Saint killed a Seventh Grade Minor Saint

“My god! The Grand Elder was killed. That Jiang Chen is truly terrifying!”

“Finished. The Heavenly Sect is surely finished. That Jiang Chen is undoubtedly a monster. Not even a Seventh Grade Minor Saint is his opponent. I’m afraid master won’t be as well.”

“Why did the situation developed to such a miserable state? The Grand Elder is actually killed by him?”

……..

Every one of them were shocked. The atmosphere of the entire Heavenly Sect had turned chaotic. Even those Minor Saints who were attacking Big Yellow and Yan Chenyu turned pale. They initially thought that their sect master and the Grand Elder who were both Seventh Grade Minor Saint could kill Jiang Chen instantly. How could they imagine that the supreme Grand Elder would be killed instantly instead? How could this battle go on? If their master died as well, who else in the Heavenly Sect could defend against his unfortunate star – Jiang Chen?

“I initially didn’t have any conflicts with your sect and we could have been friends. At the time in Devil World, it was you all who offended me first, which had destroyed the potential friendship of ours. Later, you sent the assassins of the Dark Shadow to assassinate me. That was still fine because those actions were still within my limits, it wasn’t worth my time to come and destroy you, considering that you are also one of the major powers in the Western Domain. However, the moment your people stepped into the Eastern Continent and attacked my family, I have already sentenced you all to death because that is really unforgivable.”

Jiang Chen’s tone was cold. His murderous intent could suffocate people. He simply made a step and it pushed Luo Chang Qing to step back involuntarily.

“Jiang Chen, don’t be so full of yourself. You thought that you have become invincible after killing the Grand Elder? You thought that the Heavenly Sect didn’t have secret weapon all this while? Let me tell you, what you have done today would certainly be paid with a severe price. All of you would have to die and your family as well.”

Luo Chang Qing gritted his teeth and said. After he finished, a compass-like blue shield emerged in his hand. It was illuminating boundless of colorful lights. One look and you could tell that it was a rare treasure. Jiang Chen’s eyes sparkled because he knew that the shield was a very powerful Minor Saint weapon, which was comparable to the Brilliant Mirror.

It was consistent to what Luo Chang Qing said. How could a powerful major power like the Heavenly Sect have no trump cards? This combat weapon would definitely improve his combat strength by many times but it didn’t concern Jiang Chen even a bit. If Luo Chang Qing was thinking that this golden shield could defeat him, it would be a serious joke.

“Starlight Shield, it’s time to show your power!”

Luo Chang Qing bellowed. The Starlight Shield produced a buzzing sound and trembled intensely. Moments later, an ancient tower situated at the center of the Heavenly Sect was instantly covered with blue starlight, attempting to connect with the Starlight Shield.

*Weng* *Weng*

When the both of them finally connected, a powerful aura was unleashed.

Jiang Chen frowned. He was able to see the property of this combat weapon. This Starlight Shield had the same property as that of the Grand Elder’s sword. It could borrow the force of starlight to unleash its greatest power. The ancient tower should be the storage of starlight power. When they were connected, the starlight shield would be deadly.

This was the hidden trump card of Heavenly Sect all along. The power of starlight was stored in the tower and would be used in the most critical situation to defeat their enemy.

“Look. Master has unlocked the Starlight Tower. The tower has connected with the Starlight Shield. The power of the shield would be increased by many folds. That Jiang Chen would not be master’s opponent now.”

“Haha! This is our sect’s true trump card. No one had any idea how much starlight energy has been stored in the ancient tower. I think the power in the ancient tower was enough to wield the Starlight Shield for three days and three nights straight or even more.”

“Kill Jiang Chen now. He must die. He is too scary and has to be erased as soon as possible.”

……..

The elders saw hope again when they noticed the Starlight Tower was unlocked. They had also regained their senses caused by Jiang Chen’s dominance. In their opinion, Jiang Chen was no longer a terrifying opponent after the combination of the Starlight Tower and the Starlight Shield.

“Jiang Chen. You have killed so many of my people today, causing my sect to suffer heavy losses. I want you to repay them with your blood!”

Luo Chang Qing shouted. His hand was holding the Starlight Shield which had already integrated with his power sphere. The Starlight Shield was trembling intensely and grew a fold larger. It was six meters large. He then reached before Jiang Chen in a blink. He raised the Starlight Shield and slammed it on Jiang Chen.

“Show me how strong this Starlight Shield is.”

Jiang Chen attacked flagrantly, totally not putting the Starlight Shield in his eyes. He didn’t even use his Heavenly Saint Sword. He struck with True Dragon Palm. The huge dragon claw raced forward like a barrier, crashing against the Starlight Shield.

*Hong Long*

Two things collided, producing a strong explosion. The void was instantly destroyed and large sparks could be seen everywhere. Sure enough, the Starlight Shield was very powerful. Jiang Chen was sent flying away but this time, he had only found his balance after staggering back five to six meters.

“It deserves to be called a peak Minor Saint weapon.”

Jiang Chen praised. He looked at the Starlight Shield with interest. If such a powerful treasure could be refined by Nangong Wentian, it would instantly push him to Minor Saint realm at once. This was because Nangong Wentian cultivated the boundless stars transformation and it required him to absorb the energy of the stars. If this Starlight Shield was used by him, it would perfectly match his boundless stars transformation.

“Why is this brat’s physique so hard? Not even the Starlight Shield could harm him? Is he still human?”

Luo Chang Qing was startled. Now that the Starlight Shield was supported by the Starlight Tower, its strength had improved astronomically but this still didn’t make the slightest bit of impact on Jiang Chen. He was astounded to know how strong Jiang Chen’s physique was. However, it gave Luo Chang Qing a relief as the Starlight Shield could at least put some pressure on him.

“What a nice Starlight Shield. Come on.”

Jiang Chen roared and the Heavenly Saint Sword appeared in his hand with a clanking sound. The Starlight Shield didn’t scare him, but had sparked up his excitement. He thought that the battle with the Heavenly Sect would be relaxing but he didn’t think that they had such a powerful weapon. This pleased him.

The Heavenly Saint Sword had become a dragon sword. It was totally covered by blood-red light, which made it looked very divine. Its hilt was a dragon head and its surface was full of dragon marks. The power of the sword was enhanced after it was integrated with the fourth fragment. The current grade of the sword was at peak of Minor Saint weapon, which wasn’t any lower than the Starlight Shield and the Brilliant Mirror.

Besides, the Starlight Shield needed the support of the Starlight Tower but the Heavenly Saint Sword only needed Jiang Chen’s support. As for Brilliant Mirror, it was different from the Heavenly Saint Sword because of its massive consumption of Yuan Force to deflect an attack. The Heavenly Saint Sword is the natal weapon of Jiang Chen. It is connected to Jiang Chen. So, he didn’t need to be concerned about his consumption of Yuan Force on this weapon as it moved at his will.

*Hong Long*

The Starlight Shield erupted once again with boundless colors of lights before it launched an attack on Jiang Chen again with its Qi that was as heavy as a mountain. Jiang Chen’s Qi exploded as well. He carried the Heavenly Saint Sword that was engulfed in flames. The flames on the sword had burnt the surrounding void, cutting and splitting the void apart. The light of the sword shone like a shining waterfall. At this time, Jiang Chen and the Heavenly Saint Sword had fused into one and moved like a shooting star, violently crashing against the Starlight Shield.

Two peak Minor Saint weapons collided against one another ruthlessly, causing even the void above the sky to be shattered.
