When Bai Yu regained his senses, he hurriedly retreated. He looked at Jiang Ming and Jiang Ming’s sword with a stupefied expression on his face. Although the things he told Jiang Ming were not completely true, he was not lying when he said he had a strong physical body. He could not wrap his mind around what had just transpired.
“Do you have a God Body or a Saint Body?” Bai Yu asked as he gulped. Beads of cold sweat began to form on his forehead and trickled down the sides of his face.
A physical combat was simple; whoever was stronger would win.
There were very few special abilities that boosted physical strength, and the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion only had one. Bai Yu had only mastered it to the rudimentary stage. He had planned to focus on cultivating it, but he had to neglect it since he had been focused on searching for the Tomb of Extreme Path over the past few years.
“What do you think?” Jiang Ming smiled like the Cheshire Cat as he looked at Blue Crystal. After clashing with Bai Yu, the sword was slightly dented and hairline cracks could be seen on it.
‘Well, I guess this is as far as it can go. It’s too light, and I couldn’t imbue it with my mana. However, I have to admit his physical body and strength are quite strong. Alas, mine is stronger than his,’ Jiang Ming thought to himself.
Jiang Ming knew his body was strong even if he did not cultivate any body tempering technique. It was stronger than most people’s. After all, half of his cultivation reward from the system went into his body. Moreover, whenever he cultivated the Grand Path Almighty Method Sutra, it would automatically temper his body as well. It focused on both the physical body and the mana, after all. As a result, his body had been transformed into the Primary Daoist Body.
‘It seems like my Primary Daoist Body is stronger than a God Body and Saint Body.’
Jiang Ming now had a better grasp of his physical body’s strength after crossing swords with Bai Yu.
At this time, Jiang Ming tossed Blue Crystal to the side before he leaped into the air toward Bai Yu. “You’ve had your shot! It’s my turn now!”
Boom!
When Jiang Ming punched his fist out, the was a swoosh and a crack of thunder.
“This is my territory! I don’t believe you can kill me!” Bai Yu shouted as his body began to grow. This was the effect of the physical special ability he had comprehended. His blood began to pump into his veins vigorously, increasing his strengths by leaps and bounds.
“Die!” Bai Yu brought his sword down with all his might.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming did not dodge. Instead, he kept his arm outstretched and met the blade of the sword head-on.
The force of the collision exploded, blowing Golden Obsidian away.
Bai Yu was shocked as he was sent flying back. When he looked down, he saw skin had burst, his muscles were torn, and his bones were cracked.
Jiang Ming stepped forward, closing the distance between them in mere seconds before he punched Bai Yu’s face.
When Bai Yu heard the sound of wind whistling that accompanied the incoming punch, which sounded like a death knell, his face paled. He quickly crossed his arms in front of him to block the punch. Alas, it was futile. The sound of an explosion rang in the air as Jiang Ming broke both his arms.
“Ashes to ashes; dust to dust. This will be the end of you, Bai Yu!” Jiang Ming said as he leaped into the air. He spun to build up his momentum before he kicked Bai Yu, crushing Bai Yu’s head.
Blood gushed out, forming an arc in the air.
Just like that, Bai Yu died.
After Jiang Ming landed, he called up the Human Path Records
Swoosh!
Name: Bai Yu
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Dao Seed Realm.
Background: Holy Son of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion
Relationship: 0
Innate Talent: Ten stars (Heaven Overlord Body)
Status: Dead
“He’s finally dead!” Jiang Ming heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he could feel the energy sealing his mana dissipating.
[After being pulled into the Mana Sealing Chessboard, everyone’s mana would be sealed. One’s mana would only be unsealed after one party died]
Now that Bai Yu died, the Mana Sealing Chessboard was without a master. However, before Jiang Ming could do anything, he felt a force pulling him away. He hurriedly grabbed Blue Crystal, Golden Obsidian, and Bai Yu’s spatial ring before he was sent out.
As soon as Jiang Ming was sent out of the chessboard, he saw a pair of frosty eyes as soon as he looked up.
The old man was slightly startled before his eyes burned with the flames of fury when he finally processed what Jiang Ming’s appearance meant.
“Die!”
The old man had been waiting for Bai Yu outside the Mana Sealing Chess Plate. However, when he saw the person who came out was not Bai Yu but a stranger, he completely lost it. He raised his hand, and a cauldron appeared above Jiang Ming.
The cauldron descended swiftly on Jiang Ming. Its power was so immense that it even caused a ripple in the void.
As though he had expected it, Jiang Ming waved his hand, conjuring the Heaven Suppression Divine Seal.
Both attacks carried a great force. When they collided, even the void was torn.
The two opponents were sent flying back from the force of the collision.
The force of the collision was as explosive as an atomic bomb. It swept out in all directions, causing the ground to split and the mountains to shake.
Even Zi Linglong, who was hiding, had no choice but to emerge and retreat into the distance.
“Nine Heavens Imperial Lightning!” Jiang Ming cried out. He only regained his footing after flying thousands of meters back. When he regained his composure, he charged out again. At the same time, he used his special ability.
Boom!
A lightning bolt struck at the old man.
Jiang Ming knew the old man had to be Bai Yu’s helper. Since the old man was on Bai Yu’s side, there was only one thing left for him to do: kill the old man!
“Wood Dragon!”
Jiang Ming did not give the old man time to attack before he used another special ability.
The old man had just blocked the lightning bolt when a forest grew around him in just a blink of an eye. Branches and vines shot out, turning into lances, spears, and small dragons. They surrounded the old man and attacked him relentlessly.
Swoosh!
The Human Path Records appeared once again.
Name: Yang Fan
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Primal Spirit Realm.
Background: Elder of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion
Relationship: -98
Innate Talent: Nine stars
Status: Wasted his potential by becoming the Holy Son’s guardian. He accompanied Bai Yu to look for Yun Tiankong’s tomb. He realized something was amiss when he sensed Bai Yu had activated the Paradis energy sword that was sealed. When he arrived, the Mana Sealing Chessboard has been activated so he was waiting for Bai Yu to come out. However, when he discovered Bai Yu is dead, he flew into a rage and began to attack Jiang Ming.
‘A Primal Spirit guardian?!’ Jiang Ming felt his eyes twitch. It seemed like the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion really treasured their Holy Son. Not only did Bai Yu have four guardians in the Nascent Soul Realm, but Bai Yu even had a guardian in the Primal Spirit Realm.
Jiang Ming’s mind inadvertently wandered to Mu Lei. As the core disciple of the Qingyun Sect, his treatment was very bad compared to Bai Yu’s. However, he thought it was reasonable. Mu Lei was just a core disciple in the Golden Core Realm; Mu Lei was not a Holy Son, after all.
With just a thought, a halberd appeared in Jiang Ming’s hand.
“Middle-grade Dao Vessel, Tyrant Halberd!”
Rumble!
The trees up ahead were burning at this moment.
The old man appeared in the air and glared at Jiang Ming. “State your name!”
Jiang Ming did not bother to respond to the question. He brandished the Tyrant Halberd and used the Slice the Heaven technique. Since the halberd was a middle-grade Dao Vessel, it was much stronger than Blue Crystal. Needless to say, the force of Slice the Heaven was much stronger now that he used it with a middle-grade Dao Vessel.
The old man summoned a sword and swung it down to intercept Jiang Ming’s attack. He growled, “Slice the Heaven, Heaven Suppression Divine Seal, Nine Heavens Imperial Lightning, and Wood Dragon… These are all Qingyun Sect’s secret techniques! Who are you? Why did you kill the Holy Son of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion?”
Jiang Ming continued to ignore the old man. He imbued all his mana into the halberd and attacked with all his might.
However, the old man managed to parry all his strikes. “You’re not going to speak? Very well. It’s not like I care. Since you killed the Holy Son of our Infinite Alchemy Pavilion, I’m going to destroy the Qingyun Sect!”
The old man waved his hand, and four cauldrons suddenly appeared around Jiang Ming.
“Cauldrons, heed my call…”
The old man was about to attack with his Dao Vessel when Jiang Ming suddenly raised his halberd.
A divine mountain suddenly appeared in the sky. It was massive and majestic.. The aura it exuded was so vast and immense that the four cauldrons were instantly blown away and the space collapsed.
