Chapter 209: Breaking Through Cultivation Level, Stepping into the Ninth Realm
Translator: 549690339
Jiang Ming’s soul trembled and his spirit was horrified.
This attack made him feel the threat of death.
The spinning sword light was the eighth sword: Yin-Yang Rotation, No Beginning or End.
Each figure demonstrated the Yin and Yang Swordsmanship, turning sword qi into small Tai Chi diagrams, which then formed a vast Yin-Yang Tai Chi Sword Array, enclosing the incoming nine arrows.
In the rotation, it weakened the power contained within.
Ding, Ding, Ding…
In the span of a fingertip, there were three thousand exchanges, forcibly depleting the energy contained in the nine arrows.
Crack…
The Flowing Light Sword could not bear the burden, bursting into more than ten fragments scattered around. Jiang Ming completely ignored this, his gaze condensed, and unleashed the Way of Souls Divine Ability.
“God-shattering Thirty Strikes!”
“Nine Forms of Heart Sword Skills!”
With a rough evaluation of his own combat power, Jiang Ming unleashed a lethal attack. The single strike from his soul seemed to penetrate through space and time, reaching Bai Ziliang’s forehead. Even with the power of rules weakening the attack, it still inflicted terrible damage on him.
Blood gushed from both of his eyes.
Blood flowed from his nose and ears, and his head even enlarged by two rounds. At the same time, his heart trembled, and his will was shattered, leaving him in a daze.
“Heaven Creating Skill!”
Jiang Ming teleported close and in his hand appeared the Dimension-creating Axe, which split the opponent in half and killed him on the spot.
Hoo…
He exhaled a turbid breath, feeling somewhat surreal.
“I actually killed a Tenth Realm powerhouse!”
Jiang Ming felt a sense of disbelief.
And he hadn’t even unleashed his full strength yet.
“Perhaps, this is the purpose of the Death Forbidden Zone! Not only does it increase combat power, but it also greatly refines the will and spirit.”
Jiang Ming thought while collecting Bai Ziliang’s Space Ring and weapon, which had become his spoils of war.
He glanced at Qingyan and didn’t lag behind while stepping forward.
“Brother, wait, wait!” Qingyan, who had been stunned suddenly came to her senses, watching Jiang Ming leave and quickly catching up.
The scene just now had shocked her.
Eighth Realm, killing a Tenth Realm.
It was like a fantasy, but she had seen it with her own eyes.
After being shocked, she wanted to get to know Jiang Ming.
Although she was a Ninth Realm powerhouse, Qingyan was ultimately slower. Gritting her teeth, a pair of wings appeared behind her, gently flapping and giving off terrifying power. Her body transformed into a flowing light, and she quickly caught up to Jiang Ming, who wasn’t moving at full speed.
“Little brother, benefactor, wait, wait for me!” Qingyan directly blocked Jiang Ming’s path, gasping heavily. Her face was even paler, and blood flowed from the comer of her mouth again.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you too?” Jiang Ming’s expression was indifferent, his eyes extremely cold.
Qingyan’s face stiffened, and she awkwardly said, “Little brother, you are a good person; you won’t kill me. Besides, you are my life-saving benefactor. Even if you kill me, at most, at most, I will frown.”
Jiang Ming showed a strange expression.
How could a mighty Ninth Realm powerhouse be so simple-minded?
Is it an act or her true nature?
No matter what it was, he didn’t want to pay attention to it. He just said, “I just happened to be there passively. Now that it’s over, you and I should go our separate ways.”
“Little brother, what is your name? You saved my life, so I can repay you in the future!” Qingyan secretly rejoiced, not caring about Jiang Ming’s coldness. “And besides, now that you’ve killed Bai Ziliang, the Elf Clan won’t let it go. It won t be long before they come after you.”
Jiang Ming frowned, “Where is this place?”
“Little brother, this is the Million Mountains!”
“Million Mountains?”
“Yes. This domain is a continuous mountain range, with at least a million peaks, hence the name Million Mountains. The territory is vast, and if you don’t know the way, you can easily get lost. There are also several powerful clans in this area. If you inadvertently enter their territory, you might cause misunderstandings. Moreover, there are many dangerous places and forbidden areas. Once you accidentally enter, it’s really, really troublesome.”
“Do you have a map?”
“No!” Qingyan blinked, “I’m very familiar with this domain, and I can be your guide. No matter where you go, I’ll lead the way.”
Jiang Ming’s eyes flashed, and he felt an impulse to search her memory but eventually suppressed the urge.
“Do you know where Sky Martial City is?”
“Sky Martial City? The divine city created by the Blue Star Human Race?”
“Are there any other humans?”
“Yes, there are quite a few. For example, there are Dragon Star Humans, Earth Star Humans and so on. There are also the split-off races like the Flame Clan, the Heavenly Human Clan, and so on. The Human Clan is a huge group, and if they gather together, they can definitely be ranked in the top five among the Warzone of Ten Thousand Tribes. However, your humans are strange; they don’t come from the same place, so they can’t gather together, forming alliances at most.”
“I never knew that!” Jiang Ming frowned deeply, “I’m heading right to Blue Star’s Sky Martial City!”
“I know the general direction!” Qingyan hurriedly said, “Brother, let me be your guide first, avoid the pursuit of the Elf Clan powerful and then lead you out of the Million Mountains, while also finding a map for you. Don’t worry, I’ll be very behaved and won’t cause you any trouble.”
“Alright!” Jiang Ming finally compromised.
Having experienced the events before and after encountering the Blood Lake in the Lost Land, he knew that neither instant teleportation nor traveling through the Realm of Heart was safe.
Danger lurked everywhere.
One could not risk falling into a trap in the process.
Better to be cautious.
“Brother, it’s a deal!” Qingyan was overjoyed, “Can you wait for me for a moment?”
“Do you have something to do?”
“Little Jin died for me, I can’t let it be exposed to the wilderness!”
“Alright, go!”
“Brother, thank you!”
“My name is Jiang Ming!”
“Brother Jiang, you’re a really nice person!”
After saying that, Qingyan turned into a flowing light and went away, returning in a short while with a somber expression.
“Condolences!” Jiang Ming said lightly, “Lead the way and I’ll take you there!” “Alright!” Qingyan cheered up and pointed to the left front, “That place is relatively safe, there’s little danger within several hundred thousand miles.” “Alright!” Jiang Ming nodded, grabbed her arm, sensed the space nodes, and teleported away.
Heaven and Earth were vast, and the sun set in the west.
Jiang Ming and Qingyan arrived in a valley filled with fragrant flowers, cascading waterfalls, and no sound of insects or beasts.
“Brother Jiang, that area is full of Tearless Flowers. Their scent contains a strong poison which can enter through the eyes. Even those with cultivation in the seventh or eighth realm might not be able to withstand it. Should we really rest here for a while?” Qingyan looked at the flowers in the valley and asked. “Will it affect you?” Jiang Ming inquired.
“No impact!” Qingyan shook her head, “I am from Qing Luan Clan, our blood carries a powerful fire energy, any poison that enters my body will be burned to ashes.”
“That’s good. Let’s rest here for now!”
Jiang Ming inspected the surroundings, checked the situation in the valley, and after not finding any danger, he dug out a cave, “I need to focus on closed-door training, call me if something happens!”
After saying that, he sealed the cave.
Qingyan didn’t mind, and dug another cave on the other side. Before entering, she looked into the distance and murmured, “With Bai Ziliang killed, the Elf Clan will definitely stir up trouble. This may even disturb the Million Mountains. Bug Queen… Hmph! Not going back this time.”
She entered the cave and began to heal her injuries.
On the other side.
Jiang Ming sat down with some helplessness.
After fighting Bai Ziliang, he could no longer suppress his cultivation level and hurriedly found a place to have closed-door training.
He didn’t even inquire about the specific grievances between Qingyan and Bai Ziliang.
Nor did he learn the details about the Million Mountains.
Now the most important thing was Breaking Through.
“I didn’t expect it to be Body Refinement that can’t be suppressed first!”
Jiang Ming really didn’t expect it.
He originally thought that the Path of Souls would break through first, but his physical body was already on the edge of transformation, and there was no sign of Soul Skill progress.
As for Martial Art?
To break through that would definitely be challenging.
He dared not hastily upgrade his Martial Art to the Ninth Level Realm.
”1 wonder what kind of changes the Ninth Body Refining Transition will bring?”
“Also, once I break through, I’ll reach the Ninth Realm, and new talents will appear!”
Jiang Ming was somewhat looking forward to it..
