Thoughtless Rebirth, Thoughtless Reincarnation, where all thought becomes nothingness... the Thoughtless Life and Death Sword!

This technique used no physical sword, yet in a moment of pure thoughtlessness, it could turn a corner of the world into a state of absolute nothingness.

It was as if one’s Divine Thought had been erased, as if the Light of Destruction had simply vanished...

If one were to cultivate this technique to its highest Realm, or if Jiang Jichen’s own Cultivation Realm were to reach an invincible state...

...he could instantly annihilate the Divine Thoughts of every living being in the world around him, causing a true and final death.

Everything in existence, all the Ten Thousand Spirits before him, would be reduced to the Void.

And that was the true power of the Thoughtless Life and Death Sword.

But at his current Realm, Jiang Jichen was obviously far from capable of such a feat.

Thus, he could only cause a momentary blank in the Divine Thoughts of those within a ten-meter radius and make the Light of Destruction within that same range vanish for a brief time.

When the effect wore off, everyone’s Divine Thoughts returned, and the Light of Destruction that had vanished into thin air reappeared.

BOOM!

Therefore, the destructive attacks still landed on Jiang Jichen, impossible to evade.

But in that single instant, he had already severed Nangong Zhao’s head.

PTHU!

Struck by the Light of Destruction, Jiang Jichen’s entire body shuddered violently. He spat up mouthful after mouthful of blood, his face ashen.

But to everyone’s shock... Jiang Jichen did not fall. He remained standing tall, his gaze defiant.

How was this possible?

He had survived an attack from the Light of Destruction. What was that blood-red mist swirling around him?

In that moment, amid their shock, everyone realized there was something strange about the blood-red mist swirling around Jiang Jichen.

Indeed, ninety percent of the last wave of destructive attacks had been dissolved by the swirling crimson mist, while the final ten percent was blocked by his Blood-Red Battle Armor.

Even so, the concussive force from the Light of Destruction had nearly disintegrated Jiang Jichen’s physical body.

"Quick, attack again! He’s at his limit!"

"Just one more strike and Jiang Jichen will be dead for sure!"

"Gods, what kind of monster is he? We still couldn’t kill him even with all that!"

...

At that moment, some shouted anxiously, urging everyone to strike again and finish Jiang Jichen off.

Others were filled with dread, unable to accept what had just happened.

That moment would likely be seared into their minds forever, becoming a trauma that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Unless... they could actually manage to kill Jiang Jichen. Otherwise, that shadow would follow them for a lifetime.

But... it was too late. The moment Nangong Zhao was slain, the Teleportation Array on the Great Floating Island activated.

A mysterious force enveloped them. Though it hadn’t transported them away just yet, it was already impossible for anyone to attack.

The force was overwhelmingly powerful, restricting everyone’s movements.

"Ah, I can’t accept this! That piece of trash Nangong Zhao deserved to die!"

"That useless bastard couldn’t even block a single strike from Jiang Jichen! Damn him!"

The mysterious force restricted their movements, but not their ability to speak. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ling Dong glared daggers at Jiang Jichen and roared.

Hearing Ling Dong, Nangong Jinjie retorted irritably, "Don’t you call my man useless. All of us attacked at once and still couldn’t stop Jiang Jichen. Tell me, who’s to blame for that?"

Jiang Jichen was still surrounded on all sides.

They could only watch him, right before their very eyes, unable to make a single move. They were all seething with frustration.

They had been just one blow away from killing Jiang Jichen, but in the end... all their efforts had been for naught. The hatred was palpable!

Some even closed their eyes, figuring what they couldn’t see couldn’t bother them.

As for Jiang Jichen, though his body was a ghastly sight, his expression was one of pure satisfaction, as if he couldn’t care less about his horrific wounds.

He smiled faintly. "Brother Ling Dong, didn’t you hear what that bastard Nangong Jinjie was implying? He’s calling all of you useless. Really, you’re not the useless ones. It’s just that I have too many Secret Treasures, so it’s understandable that you couldn’t stop me. But for me to kill Nangong Zhao in a single strike? That just proves how pathetic he was. If I were up against someone as strong as you, Brother Ling Dong, do you really think I could have killed him with one blow?"

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, everyone was completely flabbergasted, staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

’He’s calling Ling Dong his brother? They’re sworn enemies, aren’t they?’

’He’ll stoop to anything to sow discord. The man has no shame!’

Ling Dong’s face was livid, and he didn’t know how to respond.

’This Jiang Jichen is just too despicable, too shameless,’ he thought. ’His skin is impossibly thick.’

’Brother Ling Dong? Brother my ass! It makes me want to puke just hearing it!’

Nangong Jinjie’s face also darkened as he stared at Jiang Jichen.

His hatred for Jiang Jichen was now so profound that all the waters of the rivers and seas could not wash it away.

’It was bad enough that he killed Nangong Zhao,’ he fumed, ’but now he’s calling me a bastard in front of everyone!’

’Bastard my ass! You’re the most despicable, shameless person here!’

His voice seething with bone-deep hatred, he snarled, "Jiang Jichen, you may have escaped this time, but you won’t be so lucky again. You’ve used up all your trump cards. Let’s see how you survive on the second level of the Treasure Tower Space! When the time comes, I will personally tear you to shreds! And as for that little bitch Hua Xiaoling, I’ll make her wish she were dead!"

By now, Hua Xiaoling, Tang Ni, and Yee Youmeng had all rushed onto the Great Floating Island. They too were enveloped by the mysterious force, their movements restricted.

Hua Xiaoling, of course, heard the threat from her arch-enemy, Nangong Jinjie. Her face went deathly pale.

But before she could speak, Jiang Jichen’s voice rang out, cold and detached. "I was going to spare you, to let Hua Xiaoling kill you with her own hands one day. But... your words today have successfully enraged me. So I’ve decided: I will kill you right here in the Exquisite Treasure Tower. Of course, I’ll leave one member of your Nangong Family alive to take your head back to the family. Tell them to wait. It won’t be long before we pay them a personal visit... to take their heads!"

"Ignorant! Arrogant! Conceited! Who the hell do you think you are? You think you can destroy the Nangong Family by yourself? Ridiculous!"

"Let him run his mouth. We’ll kill him on the second level of the Treasure Tower!"

"When we get back, we must exterminate everyone connected to him! Only then can we wash away the shame of his insults today!"

...

The disciples of the Nangong Family were so enraged by Jiang Jichen’s arrogant boasts that they began cursing him furiously.

Everyone else watching this scene also felt that Jiang Jichen was all talk, that he was utterly ignorant.

To think he could take on a great Noble Family all by himself?

Hah... An Elder Cultivator above the Foundation Establishment Realm could turn him into meat paste with a single slap!

For powers like the Seven Great Families and the Three Major Sects, Cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Realm were not rare. Their foundations were unimaginably deep.

Therefore, Jiang Jichen’s words were nothing more than a delusional pipe dream.

In their eyes, an ant trying to topple the heavens was an impossible fantasy.

However, they couldn’t say anything more, because the Light of Teleportation on the Great Floating Island flared, instantly transporting everyone away.

They... were about to enter the second level of the Treasure Tower Space!
