Chapter 279 - Cutting Off the Past, Severing the Future, The One Blow that Entombed Sky (Part 1)
The Seventh Battle Tower, which was also the last tower, corresponded to the Quasi-Sage Realm cultivation base.
Upon reaching level 1, a screen appeared in front of him that allowed him to choose weapons. They were still Quasi-Sage Weapons, but all of them were of the extreme stage.
Jiang Ming could only select one of them at most.
After thinking about it for a while, he did not give up the benefit of choosing a weapon as he did before and selected a sword instead.
In an instant, a feeling of connection with his bloodline was felt, a sign of complete refining.
‘The Supreme Pagoda! It’s really extraordinarily mythical!’ Jiang Ming exclaimed within himself.
This was equivalent to the weapon recognizing him as its master without the need for refinement.
Jun Sanqian once again appeared on the opposite side. He looked at Jiang Ming and lamented, “Throughout the ages, very few were able to force their way here at only the Golden Immortal Realm. In this era of yours, there is only one who can match up to you.”
“Hong Zhan?” Jiang Ming asked.
“No!” Jun Sanqian gave him a strange smile, “It won’t be long before you will truly see a fraction of fact in this world.”
“Old Brother, why do you describe the world like there’s still more to it?” Jiang Ming was puzzled.
“Is it not a fraction of the world that I’m seeing now? Is the Honggu Heavenly Realm not even considered a fraction of the world?”
Jun Sanqian merely gave him a chuckle and changed the subject, “You little boy… Your combat power is really sky-defying. Without any inheritance and by just relying on the convenience that the Supreme Pagoda is providing here, you even manage to deduce the Transcendence Technique with endless potential! Even I myself am really amazed by you. ”
“However, my cultivation realm is still quite lacking after all. Even with the support of the inner world, my power of origin is still somewhat lacking!” Jiang Ming said helplessly.
“Alas, the small chiliocosm. For a small chiliocosm to be able to be used by you to such an extent is already considered a certain limit.” Jun Sanqian smiled, “Just wait till you take one step further as your inner world completes its ultimate transformation and sublimation, and enter the middle chiliocosm. Good gracious. When the time comes, you will definitely be able to get through this Battle Tower.”
“I can’t do it now?”
“No, you can’t!”
“What if my inner world doesn’t evolve into the middle chiliocosm, but I’ve entered the Taiyi Realm myself? Could I do it then?”
“It would still be difficult. Unless you manage to comprehend all the 3,000 Taiyi Laws, then there might still be some possibility!”
“It’s that tough?”
“Hah! For the few higher levels in this last Battle Tower, the combat power is comparable to that of the former Saint Lord in your world. What do you think?”
“This……” Jiang Ming was not very surprised about it, “How is the strength level of this Battle Tower divided into? Can the battle power of a Quasi Sage really reach the level comparable to that of the Saint Lord? I heard that those below Saints were mere feeble ants.”
“Generally speaking, within a world, no matter how strong the Quasi-Sage is, it is still too difficult to compare with the Saint Lord. At most, the Quasi-Sage would amount to only a bigger ant than the rest. However, there are too many worlds in existence, far beyond what you might think of! Naturally, some extremely terrifying existences are bound to be born.” Jun Sanqian continued to impart some secrets, “For example, through the bloodline of some creatures, when they reach the Quasi-Sage Realm, they could evoke their Bloodline Inheritance Technique and their combat power can leap even into the Saint Realm. Some would even be able to crush the ordinary saints. There are also those born with extremely powerful innate souls. They could even be comparable to that of the Saint Lord through just the strength of their innate souls; there are some Holy Soldiers which obtained great opportunities and even gave birth to the will of their spiritual soul. By condensing their Dao body, their combat power directly enters the Holy Realm. There are way too many of such existence.
“Way too many?” Jiang Ming couldn’t help grinning.
Did this mean the words of the people weren’t actually true? That those under the Saints were mere feeble ants? He was now saying that there were many Quasi-Sages who could rival even the Saints. He was a little confused from all this information.
“This ‘way too many’ means that even if you entered the Sea of Chaos, you won’t necessarily see one of these geniuses!” Jun Sanqian smiled, “Alright, Let’s stop talking about this. If we continue on this topic, your spiritual Dao will be messed up! Come on! Let me have a look at your Future Body.”
“Wait!” Jiang Ming waved his hand quickly, “Brother, are all the nine levels of this Battle Tower at the Quasi-Sage limits?”
“No!” Jun Sanqian shook his head, “The Quasi-Sage is divided into five stages, the initial stage, the middle stage, the later stage, the peak, and the Hemi-Sage. Each stage is a whole new world as the strength is very different. The first two levels of the Seventh Battle Tower are of Quasi-Sage initial stage, the third and fourth levels are of Quasi-Sage middle stage, the fifth and sixth levels are the later stages of Quasi-Sage, the seventh and eighth levels are the peak level of Quasi-Sage, and the ninth level is Hemi-Sage! ”
“There is still a Hemi-Sage Realm after the Quasi-Sage Realm?” Jiang Ming had an awkward feeling.
“Of course!” Jun Sanqian said with a smile, “Hemi-Sage, also known as Demi-Sage, is someone who has stepped into the threshold of Sainthood, or has clearly understood the method of sanctifying their Dao yet still unable to sublime and complete the transformation. Hemi-Sage already has some characteristics of Saint Lord.”
After Jiang Ming understood the gist of it, it was then that he made his move. A mighty long river of history appeared under his foot. One of its end came from the ancient past, while the other extended into the unpredictable future. Standing on it while holding a long sword, he conjured both the Past Body and the Present Body at the same time. The two bodies immediately evoked peerless techniques towards Jun Sanqian.
JIang Ming went all out.
He also conjured 10 clones, where five of them evoked the Time and Space Confinement Technique, while the other five evoked the Infinite Vessel Manipulation Technique. As expected, they bombarded Jun Sanqian to his death.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
On level 2, Jun Sanqian was annihilated using the same techniques. However, before Jiang Ming could be happy about it, Jun Sanqian reappeared behind him with a sword slashing across the sky, splitting the sea of ??stars. Its boundless sword edge gave Jiang Ming a great shock.
Not having any chance to think about what just happened, the sword in his hand flew out and exploded the very next moment. The eruption of power turned into a monstrous torrent that drowned the sword qi and shattered Jun Sanqian’s bombardment of attack.
Jiang Ming was also greatly affected by the exchange as the long river of history under his feet suddenly set off endless waves, which then exploded and disappeared into reality.
The Past body and the Present Body quickly teleported in front of Jiang Ming to block off the torrent of destruction before vanishing.
Even the ten cloners that he had conjured were shattered.
Jiang Ming, whose aura had declined to freezing point, seized the momentary opportunity. His aura soared yet again and he recovered most of it in a blink of an eye, fleeing quickly.
