Chapter 100: Chapter 93: Showing Mercy, Peerless Grace

"Heavenly Hand—Eighteen Postures!"

A slightly hoarse voice echoed throughout the ruins of the Ancient Emperor Sect, resonant and resolute.

The moment this voice rang out, the countless top-tier unrivaled geniuses and peerless freaks were swarming like a plague of locusts, on the verge of drowning out the figure hidden beneath the black robes and ghost mask.

BOOM!

A massive phantom hand over a thousand feet long suddenly materialized. Like the hand of heaven itself, it flipped into a palm strike, slamming fiercely toward the sky full of Cultivators.

RUMBLE!

The endless barrage of Cultivator attacks crashed into the giant hand, erupting into an earth-shattering roar. The terrifying force caused the very peak of the Divine Mountain to tremble violently.

Yet, under the violent collision of the endless attacks, the giant hand merely trembled and dimmed to the extreme. It was not dispelled. Its momentum remained entirely undiminished as it swatted heavily toward the countless top-tier unrivaled geniuses.

"No!"

BOOM!

The massive palm swept into the sea of people, swatting them down like flies.

In an instant, countless unrivaled geniuses cried out in terror before being smashed into bloody pulp. Even the highly formidable Cultivators were swatted out of the void, crashing heavily into the ground and coughing up mouthfuls of blood. Some unfortunate souls hit the ground only to be crushed by other plummeting Cultivators, adding insult to injury.

In a split second, an uproar broke out.

"What?"

WHOOSH!

Countless Cultivators watching the scene from afar were struck dumb, as if hit by lightning. Their jaws dropped, eyes filled with utter disbelief, completely unable to trust their own sight.

"How could this be?"

"So strong!"

"Heavens, what is going on?"

The vast sea of Cultivators stared at the countless unrivaled geniuses who had smashed into the earth and kicked up clouds of dust. Their minds went entirely blank.

It wasn’t just the onlookers; even the endless representatives of the apex forces participating in the siege were struck as if by a bolt from the blue. Every single one of them shuddered, their eyes glazed over in shock.

After all, any existence daring to participate in the struggle for the Imperial Extreme Technique was an unrivaled genius among unrivaled geniuses, the absolute pinnacle of their peers.

Yet, before that manifested giant hand, they seemed completely incapable of withstanding a single blow. It wasn’t that they were too weak; it was that the figure was too strong—so overwhelmingly powerful that it made their hearts tremble.

Even the Fatty, who was hiding on the sidelines watching the battle, froze instantly. The smug look on his face completely vanished, replaced by sheer shock.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this? How can he be this freakish?" The Fatty in Daoist robes gasped, ripples of astonishment flashing through his shrewd eyes.

However, despite their utter shock, the countless unrivaled geniuses still couldn’t let go of the temptation of the Imperial Extreme Technique. That was an Imperial Extreme Technique! A single Cultivation Technique of that caliber was enough to forge a terrifying Saint Race and produce supreme experts in the Emperor Realm.

"Let’s all join forces and kill him first!"

"That’s right! No matter how strong he is, he can’t fight all of us. Two fists are no match for four hands. I don’t believe he’s truly invincible!"

"KILL!"

With top-tier unrivaled geniuses leading the charge, all the Cultivators participating in the struggle became instantly riled up. Like wolves smelling blood, they surged toward the ghost-masked figure atop the Divine Mountain to crush him. Even the peerless freaks, recovering from their shock, exchanged glances before joining forces to suppress him.

At this moment, Jiang Hao had become everyone’s primary target. If he didn’t die, no one could obtain the Imperial Extreme Technique—and giving up now was simply out of the question.

"Such a world-shaking existence must never be allowed to live! Brethren, let us strike together and strike him down!"

"Once this person is dead, we will rely on our own abilities to claim the Cultivation Technique. This man radiates wickedness at a single glance; we absolutely cannot let it fall into his hands."

"Dressed like neither man nor ghost, he’s definitely up to no good! Let’s join forces to kill him. It’s better for the Cultivation Technique to fall into anyone else’s hands than his!"

"I have no objections."

"I second that."

"KILL!"

In just a few brief exchanges, all the Cultivators reached a consensus. In truth, this was nothing but an excuse. Even if the person holding the Imperial Extreme Technique right now wasn’t Jiang Hao, they would have suffered the exact same gang-beating.

"Hahaha! If that’s the case, then come at me! Let’s have a glorious battle!"

Looking at the swarming Cultivators and sensing the killing intent radiating from them, Jiang Hao decided to completely let loose.

Since he began cultivating, he had never truly gone all out in a fight. He had always been on the run. But this time, he simply wouldn’t run. At the very least, he wouldn’t easily flee until he was defeated. He wanted to fight to his heart’s content and, in the process, test exactly what level his current strength had reached.

Of course, even if Jiang Hao wanted to flee right now, it was obviously unlikely. He had already been thoroughly sealed atop the Divine Mountain.

Since he couldn’t leave, he would throw caution to the wind and fight.

"KILL!"

BOOM!

As the countless top-tier unrivaled geniuses charged in, the entire Divine Mountain seemed to quake.

The world in that direction was torn apart by the battle. The void collapsed every time a Cultivator unleashed a strike. Countless favored sons and daughters of heaven felt a chill run down their spines as they watched the scene. It was an epic battle rarely seen in a millennium; every frame and every second of it was deeply seared into their minds.

RUMBLE!

The terrifying giant hand repeatedly flipped and slammed down with the might of a god, continuously sweeping away the countless top-tier unrivaled geniuses. Endless numbers of Cultivators were sent flying in swathes, all suffering severe injuries.

"Take my sword!"

"Sword Calms the Mountains and Seas!"

"Unrivaled Slash!"

"Mountain-Breaking Fist!"

RUMBLE!

Even though the giant hand manifested by Jiang Hao flew about frantically, it couldn’t fend off the overwhelming tide of Cultivators. A large number of Cultivators found openings and unleashed a frenzy of attacks at his figure.

"A Tier Ten Martial Technique?"

"Celestial Tier?"

Seeing the unrivaled geniuses and peerless freaks closing in on him, Jiang Hao’s pupils abruptly contracted.
