A sharp pain shot through Jiang Yuan's eyes, especially his right eye. The deathly stillness, rooted in destructive power, seemed to threaten to destroy his entire eyeball; it felt like touching death itself.
"open!"
Fortunately, Jiang Yuan held on, and a beam of light shot out from each of his eyes. Then the two beams quickly merged, becoming a true divine punishment.
Just as the Soul Energy-type Black Gold Ant reacted, a dark green light pierced through its head. At that moment, Jiang Yuan broke his silence and charged out. Even though he had no vision after the Divine Punishment Light was shot out, he still attacked the Strength-type Black Gold Ant Lord based on his senses.
Victory or defeat often hinges on a single thought. If one cannot even forget the most basic principles of life and death, how can one become a powerful figure who reaches the pinnacle?
As the light of divine punishment descended, Jiang Yuan's fist slammed towards the Black Gold Ant Lord.
"The Mark of the Dead increases by one, and the talents of Earth Perception and Bloodline Sensing are gained. Two Intermediate Soul Runes are also obtained."
With the Soul Energy-type Black Gold Ant Lord dead, Jiang Yuan activated the Supreme Power Rune without hesitation and combined it with the fully mastered Earthshaking Fist, slamming it onto the head of the Power-type Black Gold Ant.
A cracking sound, the sound of bones breaking, but it wasn't from the black ant, but from Jiang Yuan's own hand bones.
He hadn't expected the Black Gold Ant's hundredfold power to be activated so quickly. In addition, the Black Gold Ant's head was the strongest defensive part of its body, so this attack could only result in a thousand losses for himself and eight hundred for the enemy.
"squeak!"
A powerful low-frequency sound wave emanated from the mouth of the black ant. Fearing that it would alert others, Jiang Yuan immediately summoned the Yin-Yang Bagua Mirror.
Mi Tan'er used the Yin-Yang Bagua Mirror to avoid the detection of battlefield rules in order to stay in the Tomb of the War Lord, so this item must be able to block the sound waves of the Black Gold Ant.
The Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Mirror rotated in an instant, and eight energy shields composed of long and short lines surrounded the two of them, blocking all sound waves.
Upon seeing this, the black ant swung its mandibles and charged towards Jiang Yuan.
"You think you're physically strong? Then try my sword!"
Once the Gentleman's Sword is drawn, what good is a physical body at the second stage of the Divine Realm? It's still just a piece of meat in front of the Gentleman's Sword.
Undeterred, the black ant swung its forelegs to smash Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan met it with the Gentleman's Sword.
Clang! The Gentleman's Sword trembled violently, and terrifying power was transmitted through the blade to Jiang Yuan's body. He felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his internal organs were all damaged, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The foreleg of the black gold ant only had a five-centimeter-long sword wound, which was a negligible injury compared to the five-meter-long black gold ant.
Just as Jiang Yuan's body was trembling, the Black Gold Ant launched another attack, its continuous attacks forcing Jiang Yuan to retreat step by step. Although the Black Gold Ant had no special skills, its brute force was enough to overwhelm Jiang Yuan, and even the simplest punches and kicks were too much for him to handle.
"Get out of my way!"
Jiang Yuan swung his sword, trying to repel the Black Gold Ants, but the result was obvious: the Black Gold Ants didn't retreat, but he himself took a few steps back.
"die!"
The lowly Black Gold Ant shouted a single word at Jiang Yuan, then its two long antennae swayed and it appeared in front of Jiang Yuan in a flash, its two huge mandibles snapping at his waist.
With a power a hundred times that of the Black Gold Ant, this attack would have directly bitten Jiang Yuan's body in two, but Jiang Yuan would not sit idly by and wait for his death.
The Gentleman's Sword floated into the air on its own, then opened its arms and grabbed the jaw teeth. At this moment, the two were completely competing in strength.
Although the Black Gold Ant has a hundred times the strength, the basic attributes of the species are different. A Black Gold Ant at the second stage of the Supreme God Realm is equivalent to an ordinary ninth stage of the Profound God Realm. Therefore, even with a hundred times the strength, it is only up to Jiang Yuan's limit.
"The Gentleman's Sword!"
The moment Jiang Yuan uttered the three words, the Gentleman's Sword burst forth with black-gold light, and the Black Tiger leaped out. The previous Gentleman's Sword Manual had finally broken through, advancing from the second sword stance to sword intent.
A sharp sword intent burst forth.
"Sword Kill!"
The Gentleman's Sword shot towards the spot where Jiang Yuan had previously struck, where the blow had caused a dent, making it the easiest point to breach.
call out!
The tiger roared as it thrust down with sword intent, while the black ant chose to rely on its own defense and tried its best to bite Jiang Yuan in half.
Crack! Crack! Crack! For the first time, Jiang Yuan felt immense pressure facing an ordinary Supreme God Realm expert. His bones cracked inch by inch, especially his left hand, which had not been properly strengthened, where the degree of shattering reached over 50%.
Seeing that the Black Gold Ant's mandibles were close enough to kill him, the Gentleman's Sword finally broke through the Black Gold Ant's defenses, and the sword intent struck down, severely injuring the Black Gold Ant.
"Open it for me!"
With one jaw tooth on each side, Jiang Yuan, aided by the Supreme Force Pattern, forcefully tore the Black Gold Ant in two.
"The Mark of the Dead increases by one, grants racial talent of 100 times the strength (Ant race only), grants a God-level Mithril Core, and grants 1 Advanced Power Rune."
Looking at the two halves of the black ant's corpse, Jiang Yuan sat down and gasped for breath. With the power boosted by a hundred times, the ant's strength far surpassed that of a minotaur of the same level.
"Indeed, taking any path to its extreme leads to madness!"
While repairing his bones, Jiang Yuan retrieved the Gentleman's Sword. This black ant had no other abilities, only pure strength, but even so, he still won in a very embarrassing manner.
Jiang Yuan could not stay here for long, so he activated the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Formation to begin exploring the Ten Thousand Caves before him.
Without the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Mirror, it would have made finding the worm brain much more difficult for him.
"Eight Trigrams Formation, activate!"
Jiang Yuan fully activated the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Mirror, and then a massive array enveloped the Ten Thousand Caves Chamber. During this process, Jiang Yuan also continuously comprehended the mysteries of the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Mirror.
"Blocking rules!"
"The Eight Trigrams and Eight Directions can be combined to form sixty-three incarnations to resist the Heavenly Tribulation!"
