Zhan Ling was both shocked and furious. He had originally thought that he could use his own cultivation to overpower Li Ming, but he didn't expect that... Li Ming's realm was actually a level lower. This was undoubtedly a joke.
Even though he tried to save face, he could still feel the strange looks from the onlookers.
It seemed to be mocking his overestimation of his abilities.
"Don't think that being one level higher is any use!"
Before Zhan Ling could finish speaking, he made a sudden move, leaping a hundred feet away to stand before Li Ming.
The power of the War Emperor within his body was activated, and countless silver battle patterns were imprinted on his body, radiating silver light, as if divine flames surrounded him, making his entire demeanor incomparably domineering and majestic!
"The War Emperor's Seal!"
Zhan Ling's eyes flashed with silver light. He formed a hand seal, and as soon as the seal appeared, nine battle weapons, each over ten feet in size, materialized. Then, they multiplied into nine again, forming a vast river of battle weapons, imbued with a mountain-like aura that enveloped Li Ming, giving him an overwhelming momentum.
"Some things!"
Li Ming seemed to hear with his own ears the sounds of a massive battle, countless clashes, roars, and the clanging of weapons against each other...
War Emperor's Seal!
This is the supreme hand seal technique of the War Emperor lineage of the War Clan. It is extremely profound and has the power to destroy the world. It seems that it can suppress all races and destroy billions of mountains and rivers with a mere flick of the wrist.
This action moved everyone present.
"The Blood Mark and Seal of the War Emperor—this person is following the path of the ancient War Emperors. No wonder he has the confidence to challenge the Desolate Realm!"
Anyone could see that this battle spirit was truly skilled. When he unleashed this divine skill, it was difficult to find an opponent of the same realm. It was not difficult for him to defeat someone of a higher realm at the Martial God level.
The War Emperor was an emperor from the Middle Ages. Although he did not attain enlightenment in the Xuanhuang Realm, he was born there and thus left behind a great reputation.
"The War Clan actually has such a prodigy. These ancient clans are truly terrifying."
"Hehe, you think they don't fight or grab, but in fact they have already emptied many places of ruins and caves. The inheritances of many ancient stars have been unearthed. Although this War Spirit is not well-known in the Xuanhuang Realm, it has made a name for itself in the star fields near the Xuanhuang Realm."
He was a peerless genius, hailed as a war maniac.
"It all depends on how Ara deals with this... This is definitely not an opponent that can be easily defeated. I think three moves is too unrealistic."
Some people shook their heads, expressing disbelief in Li Ming's claim of defeating the enemy in three moves, deeming it too arrogant.
It's not that Li Ming isn't strong, but that geniuses at this level all cultivate the same level of techniques and methods, and their physiques are all extraordinary. When their realms are similar, it's difficult to crush them.
Even a Chaos Body, unparalleled throughout the ages, could not instantly kill a peerless genius with the bloodline of a War Emperor.
"The first move!"
Li Ming raised his arm and flicked his finger.
His palms glowed, unleashing an astonishing power that struck the War Emperor Seal.
In an instant, it was like a torrent surging forth, unstoppable. With a gentle flick of the finger, it caused the void to collapse and all things to be destroyed!
That terrifying river of weapons crumbled in an instant!
This is a finger technique recorded in the Dao of Destruction, called the Heaven-Destroying Finger. Although it was Li Ming's first time using it, its power was still extraordinary. Even such a terrifying hand seal was destroyed with a single finger.
Of course, this is also thanks to Li Ming's physical body and true essence, which are far superior to those of others in the same realm.
"not good."
Zhan Ling was taken aback. The Battle Emperor Seal was a trump card he had used before, which had always been effective and allowed him to easily challenge opponents of higher levels.
This was so easily resolved that he frowned.
"The will to fight never dies, the spirit of battle is immortal!"
Zhan Ling whispered, and a small silver figure emerged from between his brows. It was the ancestral soul of the Zhan clan, which manifested at this moment, shining brightly and bestowing upon him immense power.
Instantly, his aura surged.
Fourth level of the Heaven and Earth Realm... Fifth level of the Heaven and Earth Realm!
"Um?"
Li Ming raised an eyebrow, understanding dawning on him.
No wonder this person didn't care that his cultivation level was higher than his; it turns out he had such methods.
Such secret techniques that can forcibly elevate one's cultivation level are extremely rare. Unlike methods that increase strength or speed, this kind of increase in cultivation level is a comprehensive boost to one's overall strength by a percentage.
"The War Emperor's Incarnation!"
With a roar, Zhan Ling unleashed a burst of silver flames. Soon after, dozens of avatars appeared on both sides, identical to the original body, but with significantly weaker auras.
"With so many incarnations, the War Clan's techniques are simply too powerful?"
"It shouldn't be that abnormal; it must have flaws."
"Even with its flaws, it is still extraordinary and is definitely the ultimate skill of the War Emperor."
Seeing dozens of powerful avatars appear, many people were terrified by the sheer power of the War Clan's secret techniques.
In fact, this kind of avatar technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, and even with the cultivation level of a battle spirit, it can only simulate the aura of the original body. In reality, the avatar only has less than one-tenth of the original body's strength. Otherwise, it would be too terrifying, equivalent to dozens of the original body taking action.
"Boom!"
The War Spirit's numerous avatars and main body attacked simultaneously, some forming hand seals, some wielding weapons, some swinging their fists, and some exuding overwhelming killing intent, their power unparalleled, causing the heavens and earth to tremble!
On the battlefield, Li Ming activated the Chaos Heavenly Eye and easily distinguished between the real and the fake, but this move was not entirely intended to confuse him.
The incarnation is a real, actual move, not a fake one.
"If that's the case, then wipe them all out!"
Li Ming thought for a moment, and a mysterious yin-yang diagram appeared between his hands. He brought his hands together, and the yin and yang converged, with faint flashes of lightning.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the wind and clouds in the void changed color.
The five elements rotated, yin and yang collided, and divine thunder manifested, transforming the entire arena into a world of thunder, with terrifying lightning directly blasting away the battle spirits below.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, instantly shattering the many avatars of the War Spirit, leaving only his true form constantly dodging and resisting the lightning strikes.
Such terrifying lightning magic left the onlookers breathless.
"No, Huang has this trick up his sleeve?"
"His thunder techniques are this powerful? I've seen many ancient immortal thunder techniques that are far less powerful than this."
"This is the second move. Is this battle spirit just all show and no substance?"
Some people looked at the disheveled Zhan Ling with strange eyes, and some suspected that this Zhan Clan's Zhan Zi was all show and no substance, a silver-plated spearhead.
"All show and no substance, why don't you go up and try it yourself?"
Immediately, a distinguished and talented disciple from a prominent sect mocked him.
"The power of this thunder technique was only concealed by the barrier of the Heavenly Trial Platform; otherwise, the sheer force of the thunder alone would have been enough to subdue an ordinary expert at the Heaven and Earth Realm."
"Where did he learn this supreme thunder technique? It doesn't seem to be a secret technique from any particular school. Could it be a lost art from ancient times?"
Many people muttered to themselves.
Previously, Li Ming had not revealed any techniques in this area.
No matter what they thought, they never imagined that this was actually Li Ming's own creation.
It can only be said that Li Ming's comprehension is too high; his two tribulations were not in vain!
Especially during the second tribulation, he fully experienced the care and protection of the Thunder Path.
This Yin-Yang Five Elements Thunder Technique was a pleasant surprise, a result of unexpected circumstances!
Heaven never imagined that the calamity it sent down would be a great blessing for Li Ming.
"Cough cough..."
The War King coughed up silver blood continuously. This lightning technique was far too fierce, and he suffered a great loss in an instant. His originally silvery-white skin turned charred black.
"You're actually proficient in the art of thunder?"
He asked in disbelief in a deep voice.
He came prepared, having inquired about Li Ming's past, but he had no idea that there was this trick up his sleeve.
"I just realized it."
Li Ming answered calmly, then added:
"That's the second move."
"I'll be serious about my next move."
Zhan Ling snorted coldly, indicating that he did not believe such nonsense.
But upon hearing Li Ming's last sentence, a ripple stirred in his heart, and his original belief in certain victory unconsciously transformed into another thought.
You must survive these three moves.
By now, how could he not see that Li Ming did not take him seriously as a major enemy?
It was as if they were teasing an ant, watching it perform, and then snapping it up with a flick of their fingers.
"No... If I lose in three moves, what will the world think of my Zhan clan? I will be a disgrace to the clan, the most ridiculous Zhan son in history."
Thinking of this outcome, Zhan Ling stared at Li Ming with complicated feelings, and felt a chill in his heart, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
No, we can't lose like this!
At least, at least... I can withstand three moves!
