Dragon-Marked War God Chapter 3042 - Nine Reincarnated Golden Body

Jun Tianchou had never considered Jiang Chen to be a significant threat. Despite being three realms above him, he struggled to secure a victory, which left Jun Tianchou feeling deeply frustrated and humiliated.

“Three Thousand Flames Divine Seal!”

The Divine Flames shifted, manifesting into three thousand dragons that surged through the air toward Jun Tianchou. Standing firm, he pointed his spear toward the heavens. The impact forced Jun Tianchou to stagger backward several paces. Jiang Chen, gripping the Heavenly Dragon Sword, pressed his advantage relentlessly, seeking any opening to strike a decisive blow.

“Boy, your actions are testing my patience. I will not grant you another opening.”

Rage simmered within Jun Tianchou. This predicament was an utter disgrace; he had anticipated an easy execution of Jiang Chen, yet he found himself retreating.

“Heavenly Overlord Divine Spear! Supreme Divine Light!”

The green spear in his grasp shifted, unleashing an aggressive strike that seemed to shatter millions of stars across the night sky. The spear's shadow swallowed the horizon. This surge of Divine Strength compelled Jiang Chen to draw upon every ounce of his power.

“Limitless Sword, the Tenth Sword!”

Jiang Chen slashed across the firmament. The potency of the Tenth Sword instantly neutralized Jun Tianchou’s Divine Light, though the latter immediately launched a vicious counterattack.

Jun Tianchou was once again struck by the terrifying nature of the Limitless Sword. Yet, the might of his Heavenly Overlord Divine Spear remained irresistible, clashing evenly with the Tenth Sword’s Divine Strength. Even Lan Luo and the others watched in shock. Jiang Chen had proven his mettle again, standing his ground against a true expert of the Hierarch Realm—the Eight Reincarnated Hierarch from the Tian Fangjun Family of the Middle Region Divine Land.

This Eight Reincarnated Hierarch had originally been a Nine Reincarnated Divine Emperor, but he had lost a life to Jiang Chen. There was no denying that the Jun Family’s Eight Reincarnated Hierarchs were fearsome.

Lan Luo mused that if Jiang Chen could vanquish an Eight Reincarnated Hierarch like Jun Tianchou, it would be a monumental achievement.

Their duel grew increasingly intense. Neither combatant appeared willing to yield. A barrage of shockwaves rippled outward, blinding and chaotic, yet both continued to clash with unrelenting ferocity.

Jiang Chen constantly transitioned between defense and offense, committed to a fight to the death. Having previously been constrained by Jun Tianchou, Jiang Chen now unleashed the Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique; his spirit matched Jun Tianchou’s own, and his combat prowess ascended to the pinnacle of the Hierarch Realm.

Jun Tianchou seethed with fury, yet found himself helpless. How could such an insignificant Early Hierarch hope to stand as his equal? He could not fathom the source of Jiang Chen's unyielding strength.

Clearly, Jiang Chen’s spirit eclipsed Jun Tianchou’s. Even if he hadn't fully harnessed the Great Emperor’s Dao Essence, his presence dominated the battlefield. Jiang Chen’s aggression forced Jun Tianchou into a defensive corner. Emboldened by the Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique, Jiang Chen refused to allow his opponent even a moment of respite.

The Sword Soul of the Heavenly Dragon Sword awakened, surging alongside the Limitless Sword. Jun Tianchou moved with extreme caution, struggling to withstand the onslaught. Under the relentless, rapid-fire strikes of Jiang Chen, he seemed on the verge of exhaustion. The gap in their cultivation levels made it all the more unbelievable; the scene was truly surreal. Even Jun Tianchou appeared distressed. Since his previous clone had been destroyed by Jiang Chen, he was diminished, yet Jiang Chen’s ability to bridge the gap across the Hierarch Realm remained deeply impressive.

Jun Tianchou could no longer suppress his anger, fully aware that his windows of opportunity were closing. Being pushed back by Jiang Chen placed him in a precarious state. He fought to seize an opening to turn the tide, cursing this as the most arduous battle of his existence.

Filled with sword intent, Jiang Chen moved through the sky, his overbearing sword Qi radiating outward. The pressure of his Dao of Heavenly Domination and his sharp, dominant intent pushed Jun Tianchou to the brink of desperation.

As the Limitless Sword danced with lethal grace, Jiang Chen’s spirit soared. Sensing time slipping away from him, Jun Tianchou let out a feral roar, his eyes burning with a murderous light.

“Jiang Chen, I will tear you apart! Eight Reverends, assemble! The reincarnation of the Heavenly Will! Nine Reincarnated Golden Body!”

Jun Tianchou pivoted his spear, and eight distinct shadows merged into one. This was his most lethal secret art: the Nine Reincarnated Golden Body. Having inherited the Ancient Will, he had believed that reuniting the Nine Reincarnated Body would allow him to ascend to the Divine Emperor Realm. Though Jiang Chen had claimed one of his lives, his remaining power remained devastatingly potent.

“Oh, that looks impressive!”

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, his expression darkening. He sensed a sharp spike in Jun Tianchou’s energy, and the weight of the pressure intensified. The Nine Reincarnated Golden Body was truly harrowing, pushing Jun Tianchou’s power to new heights. Upon their clash, Jung Tianchou immediately seized the initiative.

“This opponent is truly resilient.”

Jiang Chen furrowed his brow, instantly summoning the Sword of Solitude, seven Heavenly Dragon Knights, and twelve Fire God Guards. He sought to test the limit of this Golden Body using the Little Ashura Sword Formation.

“Attempting to flee? I fear that opportunity has passed.”

Jun Tianchou sneered coldly. While the Heavenly Dragon Knights and Fire God Guards obstructed him, he dismantled the twelve Fire God Guards in an instant. Jiang Chen’s face turned icy. He needed to execute the Ashura Sword Formation to deliver a finishing blow, but forcing the formation was no simple task; it drained his vigor significantly.

Having tapped into the Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique, half of his Divine Origin Strength was depleted, making the summon of the Ashura Sword Formation a grueling gamble. Nevertheless, it was likely his only hope for victory.

“Let us see if you can escape me now.”

Jun Tianchou struck repeatedly. Despite their formidable nature, the Heavenly Dragon Knights struggled against his barrage. Four of the twelve Fire God Guards were obliterated in moments, the sheer intensity of his power creating a suffocating vacuum on the battlefield.

“It seems Jun Tianchou is truly driven to invoke the Nine Reincarnated Golden Body. Legend claims this state allows him to survive a lethal strike from a Half-step Divine Emperor unscathed. Its lethality is truly frightening,” Lan Luo whispered, noting that Jiang Chen had lost his footing in the duel.

“Is he truly that invincible?” Qian Renji asked, her face etched with concern.
