The difference between a Martial God of the Heaven and Earth Realm and a Martial Saint of the Celestial Realm may seem to be only one realm, but the gap between them is unimaginably large.
Even if a celestial being cultivates a divine body and possesses a powerful physique comparable to a martial god, the gap between them does not narrow significantly.
Even if a Celestial Realm expert has a strong physical body and primordial spirit, there is a limit to the true essence and power of heaven and earth that they can use. However, after a martial artist steps into the Heaven and Earth Realm and becomes a Martial God, the power they use can be called "divine power". They can also use the power of the cave heaven within their body to attack with the power of a world. This is far beyond what martial artists below the Martial God level can resist. It is a true power that can destroy a country and level thousands of mountains!
Therefore, it is a universally acknowledged rule that the God of War should not act rashly.
Especially those who have reached the Unity Realm often go to fight in the outer heavens to prevent irreparable damage to the region.
"Huang...has he gone mad? Does he really want to go to war with a martial god?"
Li Ming's acceptance of the challenge immediately caused an uproar.
Because in their minds, they only thought that Li Ming wanted the Holy Lands to make concessions and give him a way out so that the matter could be put on hold. They never thought that Li Ming would be so tough.
They also believed that Li Ming was very capable, a fact that no one on the field could deny.
Li Ming was indeed powerful, but he couldn't withstand the even greater power of his enemy, a martial god at the Heaven and Earth Realm, a killing god who would show no mercy in a real fight. How could he possibly lose?
However, Li Ming wasn't looking for death; rather, he was experiencing a stirring in his heart.
It was as if a voice from the depths of the universe was telling him.
war!
Name: Qin Tiansu
[Realm Level]: [Second Level of Heaven and Earth Realm]
[Entry]: [Born to be a God of Slaughter (Dark Purple), Nine Netherworld God of Slaughter Body (Dark Purple), Killing Wolf (Purple), Path of Slaughter (Purple), Slaughtering Billions (Light Purple)... Entangled in Karma (Gray)]
【Born to Slaughter (Dark Purple)】: 【A reincarnation of a god of slaughter, born with extraordinary talents, possessing extremely high talent for the path of killing, but with an extremely heavy bloodlust, easily entangled by karma. If he cannot suppress his nature and break through his own shackles, his future achievements will be limited.】
【Seven Killings, Greedy Wolf, Broken Army (Purple)】: 【Seven Killings, Greedy Wolf, Broken Army – the tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease; a life of hardship and misfortune, with nine life-threatening tribulations. If one overcomes all nine, the future is limitless; if not, death awaits.】
"A Martial God as my tribulation is not bad... but who is whose tribulation?"
Li Ming's heart stirred, as if he understood something.
He possesses the Chaos Heavenly Eye, cultivates the art of observing qi, and is accompanied by the [Defying Fate], making him far more sensitive to calamities and fortunes than many martial artists, even martial gods.
The other party clearly did not realize... the seriousness of the problem.
"Very well, very well. As expected of the successor of the Great Emperor, your courage is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people. Very well, today I will show you the difference between mortals and gods!"
Qin Tiansu's eyes turned cold. Although his words praised Li Ming's courage, his tone was full of disdain. His divine power surged instantly, sweeping towards Li Ming in an overwhelming manner.
"Good timing!"
Li Ming's eyes flickered, and the power of his bloodline was activated. His divine bones turned golden, and his physical body and blood emanated a tremendous roar like a great bell. His heart pounded like a heavenly drum, shaking the heavens and the earth. Rolling spiritual energy from heaven and earth rapidly converged towards him.
Dragons and elephants are synonyms for power. At this moment, Li Ming's strength was soaring to new heights that the surrounding air was boiling and rumbling.
This extremely powerful aura is no less formidable than the power of a martial god!
It is said that below the level of a Martial God, everyone is an ant to a Martial God powerhouse. Today, he will personally test the truth of this rumor.
"boom!"
Two terrifying auras collided instantly, producing a deafening roar that tore the void apart. The next moment, Li Ming's figure shifted to Qin Tiansu's side and unleashed a powerful punch.
This punch contained the essence of many fist techniques. The power of the Prison Suppressing God erupted fiercely, and all sorts of exquisite secret techniques began to fall, adding to this strike!
The punch shook the heavens and earth, and even the God King Palace resounded.
This is a punch that marks the entry into the realm of gods.
Li Ming had no intention of underestimating a martial god-level expert and decisively unleashed his full power.
"I never expected you to possess such formidable strength..."
A detached voice rang out.
Li Ming's devastating punch, though extremely fast, was still blocked by Qin Tiansu.
With a loud roar, Qin Tiansu was forced back a hundred feet, his expression somewhat solemn. He had not underestimated Li Ming and had taken him very seriously, not only activating his divine power but also using the power of his grotto-heaven.
But the power that Li Ming displayed still shocked him.
It's simply unbelievable that someone could confront him head-on without even reaching the Martial God Realm or relying on external forces.
He used to be a genius who often challenged opponents of higher levels, a top figure among his peers. He never imagined that this time he would be fighting someone who was a whole realm lower than him.
Even though Li Ming's physical body had been cultivated into a divine body and he had entered the realm of martial gods, his divine body was already at a minor level of perfection, and with the power of his cave heaven, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could crush them all...
But on the contrary, Li Ming's physical body far surpasses his. If the opponent has the support of divine power and the power of the cave heaven, then... wouldn't that mean he would definitely lose?
"There are many more things you can't imagine; this is just the beginning."
Li Ming smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned.
But in reality, he was also extremely solemn.
He could actually use some of the power of the cave to enhance himself, but he didn't expect that even so, he could only fight to a draw with his physical body.
Once a martial artist reaches the Martial God level, their control over their physical body, the operation of their primordial spirit, and the transformation of their true essence reach a terrifying level, making it extremely difficult for those below the Martial God level to resist.
Qin Tiansu was furious, then sneered:
"With such strength, it's no wonder you dared to fight me. Unfortunately, you still can't match the power of a Martial God!"
"It's a pity that you refused to agree to the previous conditions and insisted on challenging me."
"Now, what's the use of saying these things? Why should I agree to your conditions?"
Li Ming smiled faintly, and the Chaos Sword and the Annihilation Blade appeared simultaneously.
The immense power of the divine weapon dissipated into the air.
A mid-grade divine weapon contains power exceeding half the power of a martial god. Even if he cannot fully unleash it with his cultivation level, it can still provide considerable assistance.
Qin Tiansu's gaze also turned to the sword and saber in the void, and he nodded, offering a word of praise:
“A fine divine weapon… You did indeed take the inheritance of the God King.”
"If you think so, then so be it."
"Heh, if you think you have two decent divine weapons..."
Qin Tiansu smiled faintly, not caring too much. No matter how powerful a divine weapon is, it is still just a weapon or magic treasure. Moreover, to fully unleash the power of a divine weapon, one must use divine power to activate the power contained within it.
Suddenly.
A powerful aura erupted from his body, and his originally dark pupils were now covered in blood, with an extreme killing intent descending upon the world!
Everyone was enveloped by this killing intent. Many Celestial Realm experts covered their mouths, almost vomiting. At this moment, they could finally understand just how strong the pressure of the Martial God's full power was. What no one noticed was that Mu Chiyao remained unmoved in the face of this killing intent, quietly turning her hand seals to activate the formation set up outside the Divine King Palace...
boom!
The ground of the God King's Palace suddenly shook.
"Um?"
Just as Qin Tiansu was about to make a serious move, he noticed that the entire God King Palace began to glow with golden light.
In an instant, an immense pressure converged upon him.
An ancient formation was activated, instantly covering an area of several thousand feet around the Divine King Palace, and even threatening to engulf the entire Qingtian Ancient City.
"Has this triggered the restrictions of the God King's Palace?"
"Could it be that a power at the level of a Martial God was unleashed, causing the formation to activate automatically?"
"Although Qin Tiansu is a Martial God, this Divine King Ancient Formation is extremely powerful. Could it be that he is about to be suppressed by this formation?"
The huge commotion sparked the imaginations of countless people, who couldn't help but feel shocked and gloating.
The Divine King Palace is a key point of the country and was once an absolute forbidden area. Many people in the Azure Sky Ancient Kingdom had never seen it in their entire lives, and many powerful people living in the Divine City were not qualified to step into it. How could they allow some people to fight recklessly here?
"The ancient formations of the Divine King's Palace are naturally extraordinary. Even at their peak, I would have to give them a wide berth..."
Qin Tiansu's voice boomed like thunder in everyone's ears:
"But times have changed, and the world has transformed. What can this crippled power do to me now?"
The instant the sound waves exploded, Qin Tiansu had already stepped into the air, his body radiating a vast divine light like blood, and his silver armor was as dazzling as a bright moon.
With a raised halberd, a boundless killing intent, like the ocean, surged forth, intent on annihilating everything!
This silver armor and this halberd are both divine-grade magical treasures!
"The Qin family's Silver Dragon Divine Armor—no wonder it's completely unaffected by the suppression of the great formation!"
"It is said that this Heaven-Breaking Halberd was a divine weapon that Qin Tiansu found in an ancient secret realm. It is incredibly powerful, and the Desolate Energy forced him to use such power."
Immediately, countless martial artists were shocked by Qin Tiansu's power and wondered how much of Li Ming's strength he had not yet unleashed.
