“The next step to improve my physical combat power is to work hard on the Inch Fist technique, or perhaps, there might be other methods…” Jiang Ming thought to himself.

Instantly, Jiang Ming had many thoughts. He went to the top of another mountain nearby.

Chen Bei and the others followed him and were puzzled as they looked at Jiang Ming.

They noticed that Jiang Ming’s strength had increased significantly, but he still hadn’t reached the Eighth Realms, which seemed quite strange.

Considering Jiang Ming’s understanding of many true meaning martial arts, they didn’t think much about it. Jiang Ming was just an oddball.

“Next, I plan to travel around to consolidate my recent gains in strength and prepare for the breakthrough to come,” Jiang Ming said, offering his advice as well. “You can also travel around, or continue cultivating here, or go to the Tianwu Manor in Chang’an. Nowadays, Chang’an is relatively safer. Many powerful warriors have gathered in Chang’an. Even if the protective city array is broken, there won’t be any significant problems for the time being.”

“I also plan to travel around. If I always stay with you, I won’t have any room for improvement,” Ye Bai said with a smile. “Without experiencing battles, how can we hone our martial arts and forge an invincible will?”

“I will travel as well, and complete my missions along the way. Otherwise, if you kill all the otherworldly beings of the Eighth Realms, we won’t have any fun,” Chen Bei joked.

“What should I do?” Ran Xin asked helplessly. “My combat power is strong, but quite average. I am almost invincible within my own realm; however, it is difficult for me to cross realms in battle.”

“How about we team up? I will soon break through. When we encounter ordinary Eight Realm Experts, you can kill them first. In the face of strong enemies, you can hold them back, and I will take the lead in killing them,” Wang Qiutong suggested. “In at most two or three months, I will be confident of a breakthrough. By then, even against powerful beings like Emperor Pino, I can suppress them easily.”

“Sister Wang, I will follow you from now on!” Ran Xin was overjoyed.

In fact, she wanted to follow Jiang Ming but knew that if she did, she would definitely become a burden.

“It would be great if I could reach the Eighth Realms. With my assistance, even when facing the Guizhang Emperor, I could create opportunities for Brother Jiang,” thought Ran Xin.

The group discussed their plans.

That day, they ate and drank together, talking about the past and the future.

They agreed to meet again in Chang’an.

Ren Tianxing was assigned as the contact between them.

The next day, Jiang Ming and the others went their separate ways, but the bonds between them had become much closer and deeper since before, even trusting their backs to each other.

Jiang Ming arrived outside Cotton City, just thirty miles away from Chang’an City, where a white-robed young man stood atop a mountain, his robe now coated in dust.

He looked exhausted, and when he saw Jiang Ming, he greeted him with a smile, “Jiang Ming, I have been waiting for you.”

He was older than Jiang Ming, but very respectful.

“Great Master!” Jiang Ming also bowed his hand in return.

The person in front of him was the Academy Grandmaster, Li Manman.

“What’s the situation now?” Jiang Ming asked.

Jiang Ming had heard from Ren Tianxing that Li Manman held off a terrifying existence who had killed the Light Guardian of Haotian Sect, the sect leader and even the Grandmaster had been helpless against it.

Later, Li Manman held the enemy at bay.

However, the strongest Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect went to heal his injuries and had not appeared since, leaving their true intentions unknown.

“It’s not very optimistic,” Li Manman said. “It is the Guizhang Second Emperor, Zhang Jingtian. He has gathered a lot of Guizhang Clan members and now controls Cotton City. He is very powerful, and I am no match for him. However, he cannot do anything to me for the time being.”

Li Manman continued, “As long as he dares to leave, I will kill his people. We are in a stalemate, with one of us inside the city and the other outside. Every few days, we engage in a fierce battle.”

“He is very powerful.”

“If I didn’t have the Boundless Realm and your guidance on the Space Art afterward, I would have been killed early on by him.”

“During the fights against him, I have made some progress. I can barely hold my ground against him now.”

“His eight tentacles are like divine weapons that can stretch and shrink freely.”

“What is most terrifying is his many eyes. They disrupt the mind, destroy willpower, and even exert control. The first time I faced him, I almost got killed. It was very frightening.”

“He can also virtualize, but not through the Space Art. It is quite bizarre. If his virtualization speed were slightly slower, it would be even more terrifying.”

“Once virtualized, it is difficult to sense and attack him.”

“He can’t attack while virtualized, and it takes time to reappear, otherwise I would have been dead.”

“There were a few times when he virtualized and left, but had I not been alert, he would have smashed everything around me.”

Li Manman shared what he knew about the situation.

“Illusory, hard to detect, even harder to attack, but not the Space Art…” Jiang Ming furrowed his brows, hearing of this ability for the first time.

It is clearly not the Illusion Territory.

As for spiritual means and so on, he didn’t really care.

“Great Master, how about you lure him out? I’ll try to see if I can kill him!” Jiang Ming suggested.

He also operated the Heavenly Stars Protection Skill, using acupoints as the root, sealing the powerful Blood Qi, and only releasing ordinary Seventh-realm aura.

“Alright!” Li Manman didn’t hesitate and agreed directly.

It seems that she believed in Jiang Ming’s strength.

“Shall we go now?”

“Now!”

“Alright, I’ll lure him out!”

After Li Manman finished speaking, she instantly teleported to the sky above Cotton City. Without making a sound, an octopus monster with tentacles stretching up to two hundred meters emerged from below.

Each tentacle had numerous bizarre eyes that distorted and disrupted the surrounding space continuously.

“Li Manman, I wasn’t looking for you, yet you dare provoke me. You’re seeking death!” Guizhang Second Emperor was furious, and all his eyes focused on the sky.

Li Manman revealed a shocked expression and retreated a step, instantly arriving at the edge of the battlefield.

Whoosh…

Guizhang Second Emperor chased after, whipping his tentacles at the void, piercing through space with one strike. His other tentacles kept vibrating, distorting space, making it difficult for Li Manman to teleport.

At some point, a sword appeared in Li Manman’s hand, and she displayed her Space Sword Skill to the extreme, not falling behind in her fight against Guizhang Second Emperor.

As they fought and retreated, they soon arrived at the mountain where Jiang Ming was.

“So you have a helper. Do you really think that anyone you find can threaten me?” Guizhang Second Emperor coldly snorted, and a pair of eyes on his head were filled with ruthless cruelty.

“Threaten? No, I want to slay you!” Jiang Ming let out a long roar and charged forward. The Fire Kirin sword he had taken out earlier slashed through the void but was swatted away by one of the opponent’s tentacles.

“So powerful!” Jiang Ming revealed a shocked expression.

“Be careful!” Li Manman reminded him, suddenly exploding with power.

The Heavenly Domain Power descended, and she also transformed into several figures, attacking from all sides.

The two of them had formed a simple tacit understanding.

Boom…

In the span of a few moments, they had collided with Guizhang Second Emperor several times, ultimately being blasted away.

The other party was also not having an easy time.

“Now’s the time!” Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up, and he teleported to the opponent’s head, his Martial Arts Domain instantly descending and crushing the void, breaking the principles of order, causing the divine light outside Guizhang Second Emperor’s body to shatter, and many of his eyes nearly crumbling to pieces.

The void condensed, and all the ways retreated.

The terrifying pressure made it suddenly realize that the fresh meat in front of it was pretending to be weak, and its body shrank abruptly, but many of its eyes burst out with endless divine light.

At the same time, Jiang Ming also exploded with power.

The Fire Kirin sword disappeared, and the Infinite Power enveloped his fists.

“Inch Fist, Twenty-third Layer!”

“Art of Infinite!”

“Physical Dharma Phase!”

And also the five times Gene Force.

Jiang Ming unleashed the most pinnacle of strikes with this punch, having a horrifying power of 5.4 million Vajra Force, annihilating space and breaking time, reducing all laws and ways to nothingness.

The supreme force seemed to surpass the limit that this world could bear.

Guizhang Second Emperor was horrified..
