Chapter 2550: Chapter 2553: Path of Slaughter

Seeing everyone leave, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and sat down cross-legged, slowly closing his eyes.

"Have you decided how to handle the Path of Ice?"

Suddenly, Yan Yufei’s voice echoed in the Sea of Consciousness.

Jiang Chen’s blurry Primordial Spirit head flickered, revealing Jiang Chen’s face.

"I want to integrate it into one of my ice technique combat skills."

Jiang Chen answered Yan Yufei softly.

"It’s possible, since you can’t utilize the Path of Ice until you reach a certain level, incorporating it into a combat skill can serve as a one-time trump card."

Yan Yufei nodded, then said with amusement, "You sure have a lot of trump cards up your sleeve!"

Having stayed in Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness for days, Yan Yufei discovered many of Jiang Chen’s secrets, even without deliberately probing, such as the Divine Lock Chain, the Blood Frenzy Dragon Qi-condensed Blood Fiend Liquid Cluster, the Dao Instrument Sacred Dragon God Sword, the Shadowless Sword Emperor’s Sword Intent, and Ancestral Dragon Qi. They stirred her interest, except for the Sword Intent of the Shadowless Sword Emperor and the Divine Lock Chain.

"It’s always good to be prepared. I might need them this time!"

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly and said.

"Alright, strip away the Path of Ice. I’m also cultivating the Path of Ice, and I can help you refine your one-time combat skill. It can kill an Integration Realm Peak expert."

Yan Yufei waved her hand, no longer discussing the trump cards.

"Thank you, Fairy Yufei!"

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly cupped his fists in gratitude.

Though he had slain a Semi-Saint in the Abandoned Plains, but due to its unique conditions. Outside, he wouldn’t be able to match an Integration Realm expert or even a Late Virtual Refinement Realm without some cost-consuming trump cards. So, having this trump card was like having another life.

"No need for politeness. Let’s start!"

Yan Yufei urged softly.

Jiang Chen ceased the pleasantries, aware that Yan Yufei hadn’t truly slept to ensure his safe departure from the abandoned town, having overheard their discussion and knowing the crisis awaiting them there.

Glancing at the Power of the Great Dao of the Path of Ice, Jiang Chen’s blurry Primordial Spirit slowly closed his eyes.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Sea of Consciousness suddenly exuded a chilling cold aura, and the Power of the Great Dao of the Path of Ice started vibrating violently.

Swoosh!

The Power of the Great Dao of the Path of Ice suddenly radiated a dazzling light, separating from Jiang Chen’s blurry Primordial Spirit, hovering in the Sea of Consciousness.

"Ice Void Needle!"

A low voice echoed in the Sea of Consciousness, as a fine needle of ice crystal darted from the center of the blurry Primordial Spirit’s brow.

"Fusion!"

Swoosh!

The Power of the Great Dao of the Path of Ice instantly flew into the Ice Void Needle, which then gleamed brightly.

"Ice Sealed Heavenly!"

Yan Yufei whispered, raising her jade hand, sending a cold radiance towards the hovering Ice Void Needle.

Crack crack!

The chilling aura caused Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness to show signs of freezing.

Swoosh!

Brilliant bloody radiance erupted from the Blood Fiend Liquid Cluster, safeguarding Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, as a Blood Fiend Force rapidly charged towards Yan Yufei.

Yan Yufei showed no sign of resistance, merely glancing at the Blood Fiend Force indifferently.

Buzz!

Just as the Blood Fiend Force was about to strike Yan Yufei, it abruptly halted. Jiang Chen’s blurry Primordial Spirit’s face opened its eyes, looking helplessly at Yan Yufei. "Fairy Yufei, you almost shattered my Sea of Consciousness!"

Yan Yufei smiled lightly: "My Primordial Spirit is wounded, its power scattered, but with the Blood Frenzy Dragon Qi around, you won’t be harmed."

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at Yan Yufei but understood the truth behind it. Yan Yufei knew the Blood Fiend Liquid Cluster’s prowess, hence acted as she did, so he said nothing further.

Glancing at the Ice Void Needle enveloped in the cold radiance, Jiang Chen slowly closed his eyes.

Time passed in cultivation, as this refinement took three days.

"It’s done." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

A crisp voice called in the Sea of Consciousness, with Jiang Chen slowly opening his eyes, a smile on his lips, responding in the Sea of Consciousness: "Thank you, Fairy."

After sensing the power of the Ice Void Needle in the Sea of Consciousness, Jiang Chen retrieved it into his Primordial Spirit.

Looking around, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, raising his hand to take out numerous Thunder Path Necro Spheres, beginning to condense the Great Dao Wheel of Light.

This time, the condensation of the Thunder Path Great Dao Wheel of Light went smoothly, as he had already reached this stage before, only hindered by the Path of Ice causing a Great Dao rejection.

Once the Great Dao Wheel of Light was completed, Jiang Chen rose and flew towards the center of the formation.

This was a place utterly reduced to ruins, its previous luxury and grandeur evident from the remnants.

Upon reaching, Jiang Chen hovered mid-air, taking out the Mansion Master’s Order Token, murmuring softly: "Senior Lu Zheng, is this the item you wanted me to retrieve? I’m taking it, and once taken, this City Lord’s Mansion will be completely reduced to a necropolis. It’s your decision now."

Swoosh!

At the end of Jiang Chen’s words, the Token released a brilliant light, shattering instantly, transforming into a beam that plunged underground.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A mighty and vast Great Dao Aura abruptly emanated from below, as a sparkling transparent light sphere emerged from underground, shaking the surrounding space violently, exuding an imposing aura from within.

"This is..."

Jiang Chen gazed at the light sphere in surprise, his eyes showing a hint of confusion.

"It’s the Path of Slaughter’s Great Dao Treasure!"

A voice tinged with reminiscence sounded, as Yan Yufei’s figure appeared beside Jiang Chen.

"Path of Slaughter? Is this also a Power of the Great Dao?"

Jiang Chen paused, his eyes showing surprise.

"The Great Dao is countless, you can’t know them all. The Path of Slaughter differs from your Blood Fiend Force, which manifests as a form of power, while the Path of Slaughter is a highly aggressive Great Dao."

Yan Yufei sighed softly: "A Great Dao of Slaughter, stronger when met with strength. Once Lu Zheng, using the power of a Saint, killed a newly minted Saint Monarch, thanks to this Path of Slaughter Dao Treasure. It’s a top-tier Dao Treasure!"

"Saint, Saint Monarch?"

Jiang Chen’s eyes showed a hint of doubt.

"That’s still too far from you; consider it when reaching the Integration Realm!"

Yan Yufei spoke softly, eyes complex as she looked at the Path of Slaughter Dao Treasure. "Since he left this Dao Treasure for you, you may take it, but don’t use it to comprehend the Path of Slaughter; your paths are already complete, too much is as bad as too little!"

"I understand!"

Jiang Chen nodded lightly, beckoning.

Swoosh!

The light sphere filled with mighty slaying force flew towards Jiang Chen, entering his brow.
