Translator: 549690339
Qishi Daozi’s movements were too drastic, attracting the attention of the other fighters who were deeply engrossed in battle.
They looked at Jiang Li, understanding that he was the current Human Emperor. If it had been in the past, they would have greeted Jiang Li with utter respect and admiration.
Although they still held Jiang Li in high regard, recognizing his strength, they now also felt strong in their own right. They believed they could hold their own against the Heavenly Demons from other realms. This belief diminished their worship of Jiang Li considerably.
Even Li Litong, the man who had seized another’s body, shared this viewpoint.
Now that he was a Mahayana Realm cultivator in the later stages of Body Integration, he felt inflated with power and was confident that he could hold his own against any Heavenly Demon.
“My friends, don’t you wish to gain guidance from the Human Emperor Jiang?
This is a once in a thousand year opportunity!”
Qishi Daozi who had been tossed aside, managed to stabilize himself and incite the crowd. He gave restive individuals a reason to act.
Jiang Li laughed and responded, “Alright.”
He then turned to Qin Luan and Song Ying, saying: “You two can also join them and fight against me.”
Song Ying hesitated a bit. She had not been inflated with temporary power and still held Jiang Li in high esteem, not daring to take action against him.
Moreover, she thought that Jiang Li was speaking sarcastically out of annoyance with the crowd’s disrespect towards him.
But Qin Luan knew better. Jiang Li was taking this opportunity to provide them with guidance.
Seeing Jiang Li was already not easy, let alone receiving guidance from him. This was a rare opportunity; if they missed it now, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.
“What a fool! Human Emperor Jiang is willing to guide us, yet you’re turning him down!”
Only then did Song Ying realize her misunderstanding. Quickly, she grabbed Qin Luan and joined the eager crowd.
The first to take action was Li Litong. He had been kicked away by Jiang Li before. Believing that Jiang had bullied him because of his lower realm, he was quite resentful. Now that he had gained unimaginable power, he naturally wanted to settle the grudge.
He imagined himself fighting against the world, killing thousands of enemies, gaining an immense amount of energy. This allowed him to reach the later stages of Body Integration.
Right now, his energy was churning like a vast ocean, overflowing to the heavens. His two blood blades had evolved into two machetes that could cut through mountains and divide seas, their aura was impressive!
“Human Emperor Jiang, enlighten me!”
Jiang Li no longer held back, restoring his True Power and delivering another kick.
rlhvvo blades crossed over and Li Litong used them to shield himself. But against Jiang Li’s kick, he still was sent flying far away.
“Brother Litong, let me assist you! ”
The Four-clawed True Dragon plunged into Li Litong’s ocean of energy. Its dragon blood surged and raw strength spiked. Even the dragon’s broken horns began to grow back.
Dragons possess robust physical bodies with abundant energy. Now, amidst this ocean of energy, it pushed the limit of its physical strength up a notch.
Once again, Li Litong used his energy to forge twin blades. Together with the True Dragon, they attacked Jiang Li.
Jiang Li made no polite gesture. He took the twin energy blades in his hands, grabbed Li Litong by both shoulders, and with a gentle force, disarmed the man. He then sent Li Litong flying with another kick.
Li Litong flew at an incredible speed, crashing into three mountains before he finally fell unconscious.
Facing the ferocious Four-clawed True Dragon, Jiang Li shattered three of its scales with a punch, causing the dragon to howl with pain.
“The human race also has body refining techniques. The Arhat of Mount Sumeru can subdue real dragons, and Zhang Konghu from the Imperial Palace can withstand Heavenly Tribulations using his physical body. Why obsess over the bodies of other races?”
Jiang Li grabbed the dragon’s horn and threw it into the crowd, causing quite a disturbance.
Under Jiang Li’s guidance, the True Dragon had an epiphany. He had been fixated on acquiring high -quality dragon blood to transform himself into a Dragon-human. But the structures of a human and a dragon’s bodies are different, a perfect amalgamation is impossible.
The dragon transformed back into a human, and deeply bowed to Jiang Li.
Determined to rethink his body refining path after leaving the secret realm.
Just moments ago, the crowd had seen how strong Li Litong and the Four-clawed Golden Dragon were. They could easily rank in the top ten amongst themselves. However, even they were defeated by Jiang Li in a single move.
Realizing that arrogance would do them no good, they concluded that defeating Jiang Li as individuals would be impossible. They wouldn’t even be able to make him moved an inch. They stood a chance only if they came at him all at once.
“There’s no need to play fair when dealing with the Human Emperor. Attack together! ”
Someone from the crowd shouted, driving everyone launching an attack on Jiang Li.
Qin Luan clearly saw that it was Qishi Daozi who had shouted. After doing so, Qishi Daozi hid within the crowd, pretending to be an innocent bystander.
The golden crow blazed brightly, vaporizing all the moisture in the air in an instant!
The members of the Chasing the Sun Tribe assumed a running pose. The tension in their legs was like a drawn bow, ready to launch at Jiang Li at a speed so fast that it would leave an afterimage. Their massive frames running at such speed was akin to Mount Sumeru moving at high speed. The power was staggering!
A Kun fish leaped out of the great ocean and transformed into a golden roc. Its hundred thousand feathers shimmered with golden light. Mysterious ancient runes danced upon them, revealing the mystery of transformation. The beak of the roc was deadly sharp; contact it with a Body Integration Realm cultivator would elicit a bloody hole in them.
The man of Dharma Manifestation in the World stood tall as a mountain, his hands could blot out the sun. With one sweep of his gigantic hands, it was as though the sky was falling.
Qishi Daozi spat out a mouthful of blood, activating seven Immortal Swords. Earth, fire, wind, and thunder rolled around the edge of the swords, giving the illusion of the reshaping of the world!
The man who controlled the Heavenly Tribulation proclaimed the Heavenly decree, commanding the Heavenly Tribulation clouds to gather above Jiang Li. The silver Heavenly Tribulation had an impressive aura. It could stimulate the Heart Demon of the person facing the tribulation, causing them to succumb to the Heart Demon while struggling against the Heavenly lightning, ultimately being reduced to ashes!
Among the crowd, the man who controlled the Heavenly Tribulation was considered the strongest. Even when facing multiple opponents earlier, he had held his own, mocking others for their weakness.
Jiang Li smiled slightly upon seeing such a wide variety of attacks. What an energetic bunch.
“I’m envious that you still have dreams. Unlike me, unable to imagine a being stronger than myself.”
Jiang Li sighed, seemingly oblivious to the attacks, feeling sorry for himself.
Although he was in a dream, Jiang Li had not grown stronger. The reason being, he could not imagine any changes that could make him stronger than he already was.o
He wasn’t much farther away from becoming immortal, all that he needed to do was enter the Immortal Realm and transform his spiritual energy into immortal power. But what did immortal power look like? He simply couldn’t imagine it.
Moreover, he was confident that he could defeat even a true immortal.
As for becoming a member of a certain race, ever since he reached the Mahayana Realm, the title of the strongest race had been firmly held by humans and had never been superseded.
If it was about mastering a particular Divine Skill, he could imagine things like storing a world in his sleeve or sowing beans into soldiers. However, to him, these seemed to be more of life’s small conveniences, making it easier to store and move things, and it couldn’t make him stronger.
As for mastering a certain Immortal Artifact, he felt that his Halberd was the best among all the things he had stored in his Storage Ring, and it had become dusty due to lack of use because there was no enemy worthy of its use.
As for mastering certain rules, he faced the Heavenly Tribulation as if it were a simple bath, and the rules of time and space were too difficult for him to imagine.
“Oh, how vexing.”
Upon hearing Jiang Li’s complaints, the crowd couldn’t help but intensify their attacks. Even Song Ying, who admired the Human Emperor the most, felt an urge to hit him.
Infuriating!
