The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

"I didn't expect him to actually come. The Venerable One chose this venue, doesn't he understand?" The person standing behind Jiang Chuan said sarcastically.

Jiang Chuan receives such comments every day.

He's used to it.

Jiang Chuan simply smiled calmly and did not retaliate against these malicious words. Only through strength could he silence these people.

The crowd at the burning site was not as large as it was yesterday.

Perhaps the ghost story deterred many viewers, but it didn't affect Jiang Chuan's performance.

"Look, the Venerable One actually used a helicopter to come here this time. In the past, their battles were always fought amidst clouds and mist, creating an ethereal atmosphere," someone pointed to the helicopter in the sky.

"Who knows? Maybe they're conserving their energy for the next battle," someone chimed in.

Is the situation really that serious this time?

“This competition will definitely be more intense than any before,” another person joined the discussion.

"Is Jiang Chuan ready?" Jin Zun shouted into the microphone inside the helicopter.

"What is this competition?" Jiang Chuan asked, his eyes shining brightly as he stood on the ground.

“If you can withstand our Venerable Ones’ relentless attacks within the Burning Valley for the duration of an incense stick’s burning, then you will be the victor.” Upon hearing this, the audience erupted in cheers. Someone exclaimed, “Five people taking turns attacking one person? These Venerable Ones are shameless!”

Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

This challenge will not be easy.

Inside the Burning Valley, the temperature was extremely high, and the air was filled with thick smoke and dust, making it difficult to breathe. But Jiang Chuan did not back down. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and prepared to meet this challenge.

"Let's begin." Jiang Chuan gestured for them to begin.

As the competition began, the five Venerable Ones entered the Burning Valley in turn.

Their eyes were filled with indifference, as if Jiang Chuan was already an opponent about to be defeated in their eyes.

Jiang Chuan was not intimidated by their gazes. He stared ahead, his whole body tense, ready to meet their attack.

"Jiang Chuan, today is your death day." Fire Lord swung his Flaming Axe without mercy, showing no restraint whatsoever. Having learned his lesson from the last time, he knew how cunning Jiang Chuan was.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chuan chuckled and then disappeared from the scene.

"I don't want to fight you. I just need to hold out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn." Jiang Chuan adjusted his position and moved through the Burning Valley.

Meanwhile, Jin Zun, who was piloting the helicopter, was giving directions to Mu Zun, Shui Zun, Huo Zun, and Tu Zun from above.

Jiang Chuan, who was hiding in the shadows, was quickly discovered by the earth corpse summoned by the Earth Venerable. The Water Venerable, who had suffered a loss with Jiang Chuan before, drew his Guanghan Bow and shot an arrow at Jiang Chuan's back, carrying water vapor, without holding back and striking with all his might.

Jiang Chuan felt a strong airflow behind him.

He swayed and was nearly hit by an arrow.

He secretly admired Shui Zun's archery skills, but also knew that he could no longer hide his abilities.

He appeared behind the Fire Lord in a flash, and the Flaming Axe swung down instantly, illuminating Jiang Chuan's face with streaks of fire. Jiang Chuan dared not confront it head-on, and dodged the Fire Lord's attack by shifting his body. At the same time, he thrust the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand toward the Fire Lord's waist.

The Fire Lord, in pain, released his grip on the Flaming Axe.

Jiang Chuan took the opportunity to dodge the attack from the earth corpse summoned by the Earth God, and also avoided the vine bindings of the Wood God.

"The four of you working together couldn't even defeat me, Jiang Chuan, yet you call yourselves the Five Elements Venerables. How laughable!" Jiang Chuan mocked.

"Jiang Chuan, don't be so arrogant. With the four of us joining forces, you won't be able to escape," Huo Zun said angrily.

Jiang Chuan ignored them. If he could hold out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he would be victorious.

His figure flickered and disappeared from the spot again, rushing towards the interior of the Burning Valley, where various fire creatures lived. Jiang Chuan could use them to block these Venerables.

Jiang Chuan moved with incredible speed, like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky. His figure darted through the Burning Valley, and each appearance triggered a frenzy among the fire creatures. He used these fire creatures as shields to temporarily block the Venerable's pursuit.

The Venerable One naturally realized Jiang Chuan's intentions.

They joined forces, unleashing a powerful force in an attempt to suppress these fire creatures.

However, Jiang Chuan acted even faster. He seemed to know every corner of the Burning Valley like the back of his hand, and he was always able to find a suitable refuge at the critical moment.

As time ticked by, the Venerables began to feel anxious.

If Jiang Chuan cannot be defeated in a short time, then once the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, Jiang Chuan will win.

“We can’t let Jiang Chuan continue to be so free. Let’s summon the Firebird,” Fire Lord suggested.

“Good idea, we’ll go with your suggestion.” The other Venerables nodded gently.

With permission granted, the Fire Lord formed rings with his hands and whistled. Immediately afterward, the Burning Valley began to shake, foreshadowing something bad to come.

The Fire God's whistle echoed through the Burning Valley.

It was as if some ancient taboo had been touched.

The sky suddenly darkened, with thick clouds, thunder and lightning, and howling winds.

The firebird soared from the valley floor, its feathers burning like flames, its eyes gleaming with an evil light.

The firebird spread its wings and soared into the sky. The Fire Lord's eyes were filled with anticipation. This firebird was the pet of these Venerables. With its help, defeating Jiang Chuan would not be a problem. The firebird circled in the air, its fiery tail burning like a giant fire dragon.

As Jiang Chuan was moving, he noticed a blazing fire attack locking onto him. Looking back, he saw a crimson flame, like the sun, shooting directly at him from behind.

Jiang Chuan dared not be negligent, and brandished the Dragon Roar Sword to gather thunderous sword energy, preparing to meet the fierce fire attack.

The firebird's fiery tail burned even more fiercely, as if it could burn away everything in its path. However, Jiang Chuan's sword energy was not to be underestimated either, darting through the air like lightning in an attempt to counteract the firebird's flames.

Upon seeing this, the Venerable One's lips curled up slightly.

The firebird's flames were formidable, and Jiang Chuan would likely have to pay a price to withstand the attack. However, they were not worried, because in their view, Jiang Chuan could not defeat the firebird no matter what.

However, just as the firebird's flames were about to engulf Jiangchuan.

Jiang Chuan suddenly disappeared.

The Venerable One was taken aback and couldn't help but wonder if he had seen it wrong.

Just then, Jiang Chuan suddenly appeared behind the firebird, brandishing the Dragon Roar Sword. The sword energy surged like a rainbow as it hurtled towards the firebird. The firebird, possessing intelligence, instantly sensed the threat. It let out a panicked cry and tried to change direction and escape.

However, Jiang Chuan's sword energy had already locked onto it, so it was not going to escape easily. The firebird's fiery tail drew a beautiful arc in the air, trying to burn away Jiang Chuan's sword energy, but it was ultimately unable to withstand it.

Upon seeing this, the Venerable One's expression changed drastically. He had not expected that Jiang Chuan would be able to survive the firebird's attack and even fight back.

"Is Jiang Chuan even human? I've never seen such a powerful young man before in my life." Huo Zun could no longer maintain his arrogant demeanor and expressed his opinion on Jiang Chuan.

"Look at your pathetic self. The outcome is not yet decided, and you're already giving up?" Water Venerable raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke softly.

The Wood and Earth Venerables did not comment on the Fire Venerable's words, but instead focused their attention on Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan remained calm and composed despite the discussions.

"Senior Fire Venerable, your evaluation makes me feel good." Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, expressing his gratitude for Fire Venerable's words.

"Hmph, don't think I'll let you off just because you say a few nice words." Fire Lord snorted coldly, clearly not satisfied with Jiang Chuan's response.

After saying that, Fire Lord swung his Flaming Axe to meet Jiang Chuan, and the confrontation started again. Meanwhile, the firebird swaying in the sky made a quick adjustment, shook its head with a hint of anger, and pecked fiercely at Jiang Chuan.

Despite the attacks from the man and the beast, Jiang Chuan, wielding the Dragon Roar Sword enveloped in lightning, did not fall behind. Thanks to the blessing of the Heavenly Rank Soul, every attack and dodge by Jiang Chuan carried the force of thunder, making the Fire Lord's Flaming Axe and the firebird in the sky feel the pressure increase.

A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Zun's eyes. He could clearly sense that Jiang Chuan's strength at this moment was even greater than yesterday.

Jiang Chuan's sword tip traced a graceful arc.

He skillfully avoided the Fire Lord's Flaming Axe.

At the same time, the power of thunder on the Dragon Roar Sword makes his attacks more penetrating.

The firebird's attack arrived at that moment.

Jiang Chuan swayed his body, dodging the firebird's fierce peck.

At the same time, the Dragon's Roar Sword slashed towards the firebird's wings.

The firebird let out a painful cry as the Dragon Roar Sword slashed a wound in its wing.

But it did not give up; instead, it launched an even more ferocious attack on Jiangchuan.

Fire Lord intensified his attacks, and the flames of the Blazing Axe became even more ferocious, but Jiang Chuan remained standing.

"Senior Fire Lord, your attack is fierce, but I am not so easily defeated." Jiang Chuan's voice rang out amidst the Fire Lord's attack, filled with unwavering conviction.

"Enough talk, take this!" The Fire Lord's aggressive fighting style intertwined with Jiang Chuan's light and lightning-fast movements.

Jiang Chuan nimbly dodged Huo Zun's attacks, his eyes focused, his sword dancing like flowing clouds. Every time Huo Zun's axe swung down, Jiang Chuan could accurately predict the direction of the attack and then dodge at incredible speed.

Jin Zun once again chose an easy position for himself. He sat in the helicopter humming a little tune and called out the times to the other Venerables. This was his mission.

As for whether Jiang Chuan can win, he has already taken it easy. Based on Jiang Chuan's performance yesterday, he has already recognized him. If Jiang Chuan leads the Diviner Alliance, he is at ease.

Jin Zun's relaxed attitude attracted the attention of the other Venerables. They all turned their gazes to him, their expressions shifting between anger and uncertainty, thinking, "They're fighting to the death here, what are you doing over there?"
To avoid incurring public outrage, Jin Zun pretended to be serious and began to warn Huo Zun, saying, "Huo Zun, be careful, Jiang Chuan is going to use his foot."

As soon as Jin Zun finished speaking,

Fire Lord immediately made preparations.

They easily dodged Jiang Chuan's attack.

Seeing this, the other Venerable Ones couldn't help but cast disdainful glances at the Golden Venerable One.

“Let’s make a move. Fire Lord is no match for Jiang Chuan,” Wood Lord suggested.

As he finished speaking, he moved his hands in a series of gestures and muttered incantations, "Death Bind."

When Mu Zun activated his skill, the vines growing in the cracks of the rocks seemed to come alive and went straight towards Jiang Chuan's body.

Jiang Chuan remained calm in the face of Mu Zun's attack. He took a deep breath, and his aura began to surge, emanating a powerful force from his body.

He gave a low shout, his hands quickly forming hand seals, his fingertips shimmering with a faint light. With his movements, a powerful force formed a protective shield around him.

“Thunder Limbs,” Jiang Chuan said.

His body was covered by a layer of lightning, and the vines that touched him were repelled.

The firebird gave Jiang Chuan no chance to catch his breath, swinging its sharp claws, ready to crush his head.

Its sharp claws gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

Jiang Chuan narrowly escaped unharmed.

The firebird's attacks were like a storm. While dodging, Jiang Chuan was also thinking rapidly about countermeasures. He knew that if things continued like this, he would eventually be hit by the firebird or the other Venerables. He had to find an opportunity, a chance to counterattack.

Jiang Chuan's gaze lingered on the firebird's sharp claws for a moment, then quickly shifted to its wings. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and then he made a decision.

He took a deep breath and then charged toward the firebird, swinging his sword forcefully as he approached, aiming for the firebird's wing.

"I must succeed!" Jiang Chuan silently vowed to himself.

His sword struck the firebird's wing accurately. Although it did not cause any real damage, it made the firebird cry out in pain and temporarily lose its ability to attack.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan heard the sound of dancing in his ears, and his body swayed involuntarily. He looked over and found that Tu Zun had activated the Soul-Hooking Flute skill, indulging in a life of pleasure and debauchery.

Jiang Chuan's mind began to immerse itself in the wondrous music, and his attack movements began to slow down, narrowly avoiding the Fire Lord's fierce axe blow.

This couldn't go on. Jiang Chuan frowned, and his mental energy began to surge. Having reached the Heavenly Rank of mental energy, he dismantled the Earth Venerable's mental skills with just his will.

Seeing this, these Venerable Ones looked at Jiang Chuan with an expression of utter ignorance. Just one night apart, what level had Jiang Chuan's spiritual power reached?
The audience gasped in astonishment. Someone exclaimed, "Jiang Chuan actually broke through the Earth Lord's attack with just a glance! How fierce!"

A determined light shone in Jiang Chuan's eyes. He took a deep breath, and his aura began to change. His previously listless spiritual energy seemed to gain new life at this moment and began to surge wildly.

Jiang Chuan's body vanished from his spot in an instant, leaving only a gentle breeze. Huo Zun's attack missed its mark, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Jiang Chuan is moving too fast.

It was so fast that even the Fire Lord couldn't react in time.

His body moved across the battlefield like a ghost, and each appearance filled the Venerables with terror.

"What kind of power is this?" The Fire Lord was filled with shock. (End of Chapter)
