Chapter 469: Chapter 292: The True God Strikes, Master Defying Heaven_2

“With one punch, annihilation!”

Jiang Ming’s heart sank as he once again unleashed the supreme force of his physical body, his fist smashing through the void, wiping out principles, and obliterating order as a vacuum tunnel was torn open directly above.

The entire world trembled beneath this punch.

Yet to his shock, the materialized gaze seemed unaffected and continued to approach.

“Eye of Heavenly Mandate, Soul nominator!”

Jiang Ming’s eyes narrowed as he shot out two beams of divine light, blocking the piercing strike, and eventually, both vanished into nothingness.

“Divine Spirits are truly terrifying!”

His expression was extremely grave.

Facing the distant strike of a Divine Spirit, aside from the World Tree and not fully unleashing the power of his Inner World, without merging the power of mind, Divine Soul, and physical body together, he had used almost the strongest power he had.

“Jiang Ming, I look forward to your arrival in the Holy City. Don’t die prematurely,” a voice came from the distant gaze that showed a hint of surprise, and seemingly a touch of anticipation.

Then the gaze disappeared.

“is this an acknowledgment of my strength? ‘Don’t die prematurely’? With my current combat power, if you don’t take action, who can contend with me? Could it be that within the Great Qian Holy Dynasty, some old monster or Divine Child is hidden?”

In an instant, Jiang Ming thought of many possibilities, and then shook his head.

What does it matter if there are hidden powerhouses?

Displaying his strength today was a declaration to the world that he had arrived, bringing with him an unmatched might, and he had stepped into the limelight.

Besides, his strength was still improving, continuously progressing.

It was growing stronger every moment.

For the Divine Spirits of the Holy City to not take action now would be their gravest mistake.

Jiang Ming exhaled a breath that swept across three thousand li, raised his hand, and with a sweep, the vast pit was filled in.

With a casual lift, the mountain peak reappeared, and then he turned and left.

For a long time after.

The hidden watchers finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and all felt fortunate to have survived.

“He was taken into a Divine Artifact by Emperor Tianyu, and in such a short time, Jiang Ming actually punched through the Divine Artifact.”

“Emperor Tianyu, I know. He’s an old Twelfth Realm entity. He once slaughtered widely across the world, killing countless peers, his might striking fear into the hearts of all. But today, he has fallen.”

“Fallen, and dead!”

“The Divine Artifact was punched through; now that’s true terror, sheer horror.”

“No, at the moment the Divine Artifact was punctured, I sensed dozens of odd presences belonging to different Twelfth Realm powerhouses. Besides Emperor Tianyu, there were at least twenty or thirty Twelfth Realm beings hidden inside the artifact. Nevertheless, they were all killed by Jiang Ming, completely annihilated, and the artifact was punctured.”

“What do you think, could Jiang Ming of Qingyun Prefecture have ascended to godhood?”

“No, he hasn’t, absolutely not! But he must possess combat power akin to that of a Divine Spirit. Don’t forget, that strike from a distant land put him on high alert, and in the end, he erupted with such horrific power. Under the World Descend, even a slight emanation left me unable to move. I am a Twelfth Realm powerhouse, dammit. In his presence, I’m as fragile as a child. And that last punch, how terrifying it was, as if even the firmament was about to be punctured. Damn it all, just the wind from that punch could tear me apart even a kilometer away.”

“We can confirm, Jiang Ming possesses Divine Spirit combat power!”

“Divine Spirit combat power, doesn’t that mean he could contend with that person in the Holy City? My heavens, what comes next will surely set ablaze the fires of war across all One Hundred and Eight Provinces!

“The world will turn upside down, an era of great momentum is about to descend.”

The discussions were intense, and the astonishment was profound.

The news of this battle spread across the world at the speed of light, and with it, a myriad of forces openly raised their banners in rebellion against Great Qian. Under the push of the Descender, the whole world was ablaze with war in no time.

Within the Prefecture City.

Jiang Ming had already returned. The Master who had been standing in the air, having exerted his utmost power, also swiftly concealed himself with the return of his pupil.

“Your strength is impressive, Old Man!” Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up.

“Not even close to yours,” the Master clicked his tongue, “You youngster are truly a freak. Your realm isn’t that high, but your combat power is ridiculously heaven-defying. I’m not even sure I can block a single punch from you. Too strong.”

“Still, I fall short when compared to that person,” Jiang Ming said.

“Still short?” the Master shook his head and left, “Just now, the little lass Ran Xin was worried sick about you. I’ll be taking my leave, you two get all lovey- dovey. Stop by when you’re free, we’ll talk about the nature of that person s power.”

“Sure!” Jiang Ming said, and with that, he wrapped his arms around Ran Xin, who flung herself at him.

“Seeing you get sucked into the Chessboard Artifact nearly scared me to death!”

“We’ve merged together so many times, and you still doubt my combat power?”

“Even if I believe, I can’t help but worry!”

“Haha, not worried now, are you?”

“Hmph!” Ran Xin wrinkled her nose and then exclaimed in amazement, “Brother Jiang, you’re too strong! Horrifyingly unstoppable. Especially that last punch, I was thinking, if you did that while we were combined, wouldn’t I be…”

She gritted her teeth.

Of course, at this moment, a confining force had already filled the air, ensuring their voices only echoed between them.

“Want to try? I could pierce through both your mouths!”

“Piss off, brat!”

“Cough cough, you were the one who mentioned it first, right?

“Hmph, men, all dirty, despicable, lewd, shameless, evil, scoundrels!

“Then I shall play the scoundrel for you to see!”

Mist enshrouded everything, and the two figures completely vanished without

a trace.

The Master, who had landed in the Pavilion, glanced over and couldn’t help but sigh: Ah, to be young.

My youth, my impulsive age, the foolish things I did above my head, sigh, why can’t I seem to get interested in them now!

Only the Dao companions me.

Only the Dao is worth pursuing.

Loneliness is like the snow!

After a while, the mist dissipated, and night had descended.

The brightness of the Bright Moon was endless, yet it was dimmed by the Divine Light bursting out from all over the Prefecture City.

Ran Xin stretched lazily, her allure boundless and beauty beyond words. She threw a charming glance at Jiang Ming and then transformed into light and left. She continued to manage the affairs of the Prefecture City, collecting exotic treasures and great elixir pills, among other things.

Jiang Ming stepped up to the Master, lay back, and a reclining chair formed spontaneously beneath him.

Lying there leisurely, something felt uniquely satisfying.

“When I first faced a Divine Spirit level, I was nearly beaten to death, barely escaping with my life,” the Master said, “But you easily blocked it. Fellow Jiang, what did it feel like at that moment?”

This address indicated utmost formality.

“Quite unique!” Jiang Ming pondered, “It was just a Divine Skill released by the Divine Eye. The power was pure and mighty, even surpassing my Power of the World. It had a Dao Resonance that transcended Universal Principles, and it felt like a peculiar transformation after the fusion of various powers.”

“I had the same feeling!” the Master’s eyes shined, “I intercepted a strand of God Power and analyzed it before. I wasn’t quite sure, but now that you mention it, I suspect God Power is formed after the fusion of the forces of the Path of the Physical Body, Path of Souls, Spirit Path, and then honed through the respective Realm’s purification.”

“The fusion of the Four Elements? Highly likely!” Jiang Ming’s eyes gleamed, with rivers of wisdom flowing in his gaze, contemplating the coherence, “Master, have you tried it?”

“I’ve perfected the Path of Souls and the Spirit Path. That is a leap above the Twelfth Realm, reaching the Demigod Realm. But, the Path of the Physical Body and the Martial Path have not reached their peak. The Path of the Physical Body is somewhat challenging; I’ve yet to break the bottleneck of the Twelfth Realm and enter the Demigod Realm. The Martial Path is no less challenging. The Inner World of Heavenly Martial Spirit that I’ve condensed hasn’t evolved to the Demigod Realm either,” the Master slowly explained, “Once, when I was at the Twelfth Realm, I tried to merge them. It was possible, but it didn’t result in a qualitative change, let alone leap into the Divine Realm. So, I kept on breaking through bottlenecks, trying to cultivate each element’s power to the utmost limit.”

“How impressive, Old Man!” Jiang Ming sincerely admired, giving a thumbs- up, “Master, we could have a discussion. Perhaps I could help you achieve a Breakthrough.”
