146: Chapter 146 The Ultimate Combat Power of a Four-Star Demon Lord

"Have you grasped the Space Intent to Perfection? Just how much are you still hiding?"

In the female dormitory at Modu Martial Arts University, a look of emotion appeared on Han Qingyue's face.

She knew full well that Han Chunming was her own cheap cousin.

Originally, a 19-year-old 3-Star Martial Emperor being able to kill a 1-Star Martial Venerable had already shocked her beyond control.

Unexpectedly, it was now revealed that he had actually grasped the Space Intent to Perfection, instantly killing two Martial Venerable experts from the Thousand Kill Tower.

This shocked her even more.

Fortunately, such a Prodigy was from their Han Family; otherwise, having such an enemy would surely make one unable to sleep or eat in peace.

"He even grasped the Space Intent to Perfection? Increase the reward for killing him by 20 percent."

In that inconspicuous teahouse in Modu Base City, the seemingly ordinary middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly and said to the man in black before him.

"Understood."

The man in black respectfully acknowledged and retreated.

In the Wan Yao Ridge Mountains, Han Ming did not know what a great sensation his instant killing of two Martial Venerables had caused.

At this moment, he had already found a cave and entered the Cave Heaven World.

"Young Master."

Seeing Han Ming appear suddenly, Ji Lingyue's eyes lit up, and she flew over and threw herself at him.

Han Ming pulled her soft, boneless body into his arms.

A faint fragrance immediately assailed his nostrils.

"Young Master."

Ji Yinshuang and Ji Mingyue also flew over one after another to respectfully salute Han Ming.

"Hmm."

Han Ming nodded at them, then carried Ji Lingyue into the villa for a vigorous battle.

Only then did he open the spoils of war he had just obtained: five Storage Rings.

As expected of experts above the Peak Martial Emperor level, the various items added up to quite a lot.

They were worth at least 700 to 800 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

"I'll leave the resources in these Storage Rings to you; improve your strength as quickly as possible."

Han Ming handed the five Storage Rings to Ji Lingyue beside him and smiled.

"Hmm, thank you, Young Master."

Ji Lingyue happily took them and kissed him on the cheek.

She had just looked, and many of the things inside were what she needed.

Han Ming looked at the few extra Storage Rings in his space and smiled faintly.

Milking the System like this was truly satisfying; it was double the happiness.

"Alright, go and Cultivate properly!"

After instructing Ji Lingyue and the others, Han Ming flashed out of the Cave Heaven World.

The Wan Yao Ridge Mountains stretched for tens of thousands of miles, containing countless exotic beasts; 9th-Rank Demon Emperors and 10th-Rank Martial Venerables were everywhere.

In the depths, there even existed 12th-Rank Demon Gods.

Above a valley in the Wan Yao Ridge Mountains, Han Ming stood in the air, looking down.

"Roar! Human, you dare to trespass on my territory? You are courting death!"

A black giant tiger, the size of a mountain, soared into the sky from the valley, its entire body covered in dark golden scales, and a pair of scarlet eyes stared fixedly at Han Ming.

The terrifying Aura of a 3-Star Martial Venerable crushed down like a physical force, and the air for several miles around became viscous.

Han Ming hovered in the air, his robes flapping in the demon wind, but his expression remained calm.

A 3-Star Martial Venerable; just right to test his skills.

He took a step, fully activating his Space Intent, and his figure instantly appeared in front of the giant tiger, throwing a punch.

The giant tiger roared, its sharp claws tearing through space as it clashed head-on with Han Ming's fist.

With a loud boom, shockwaves exploded; Han Ming retreated several steps, and the giant tiger's massive body also swayed.

"How is this possible?"

A trace of astonishment flashed in the giant tiger's eyes, and it cried out in disbelief.

A 4-Star Martial Emperor could actually withstand a claw strike with 80 percent of its power?

Han Ming shook his numb arm without speaking, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

A 3-Star Martial Venerable's power was truly terrifying.

It was more than ten times stronger than those two Martial Venerables from the Thousand Kill Tower.

But he did not retreat; the Ice Essence condensed into an ice sword in his palm. He thrust it out, and the Sword Intent fused with the Ice Essence, turning into an ice-blue sword beam that headed straight for the giant tiger's throat.

The giant tiger opened its mouth and spat out a black demonic fire, which collided with the sword beam.

Ice and fire intertwined in the air, making a hissing sound.

The sword beam broke through the demonic fire and left a shallow scratch on the giant tiger's scales.

The giant tiger was completely enraged; as a 3-Star Martial Venerable, it had actually been injured by a 4-Star Martial Emperor?

It roared at the sky, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for several miles around surged madly, condensing into a huge black tiger phantom behind it.

The phantom opened its mouth, and a thick black beam of light blasted toward Han Ming.

Han Ming took a deep breath, fully activating his Space Intent.

His figure vanished the moment the beam of light struck, appearing behind the giant tiger.

Nine types of True Intent at Perfection, plus the dual Profound Truths of Ice and Water, condensed in his palm, and he slapped the giant tiger's back.

"Boom!"

The giant tiger's massive body fell from the sky, snapping several towering trees and creating a huge crater on the ground.

It struggled to climb up; a deep palm print appeared on its back, and a large area of its dark golden scales was shattered.

The look in its eyes as it stared at Han Ming carried a trace of fear.

What kind of Prodigy was this?

A human Martial Emperor could actually injure it?

And he had actually grasped no less than ten types of True Intent at Perfection, along with the terrifying Space Intent.

It had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen such a terrifying human.

"Roar, human, you dare to hurt me? I will fight you to the death."

The giant tiger roared at the sky, looked at Han Ming angrily, and its massive body soared into the sky again.

A powerful Aura exploded from its body, and the giant trees within hundreds of meters were shattered into powder.

Han Ming thought it was really going to fight for its life, so he didn't dare to be careless, instantly activating his Ice Essence to condense countless giant ice swords in front of him.

The Sword Intent at Perfection and the Space Intent flowed over every giant sword, emitting flashes of gold and silver light.

They radiated a murderous Aura that could freeze everything and was incomparably sharp.

But with a "whoosh," the black giant tiger, which had previously been full of imposing momentum and appeared ready to fight to the death, instantly activated its Wind Profound Truth and fled into the distance.

Damn, are these exotic beasts also this afraid of death?

Han Ming was stunned for a moment and cursed inwardly.

Han Ming didn't have time to overthink; seeing that the giant tiger was about to escape his Divine Sense range, he hurriedly activated a Space Imprisonment.

At the same time, he waved his hand, and the dozens of ice swords in front of him instantly traversed space, killing toward the giant tiger.

"Roar! No—"

The black giant tiger's fleeing body suddenly halted and was instantly imprisoned by Han Ming.

It activated 30 percent of its Wind and Fire Profound Truths, instantly shattering the Space power imprisoning it, and was about to continue fleeing.

But it was already too late; countless blue giant ice swords had traversed over ten thousand meters of space and instantly pierced into its massive body.

It let out an unwilling roar and completely lost its breath.

"It seems a 3-Star Martial Venerable is not my limit yet."

Han Ming waved his hand, collected the giant tiger's corpse into the Cave Heaven World, and muttered to himself.

Over the next two days, Han Ming killed no less than five Martial Venerable-level exotic beasts in the Wan Yao Ridge Mountains.

The strongest among them was a 4-Star Martial Venerable-level Blood-Scaled Demon Python, which took him most of the day to kill.

Deep in the dense forest ahead, a terrifying Demonic Qi, far exceeding any previous opponent, soared into the sky.

As soon as Han Ming stepped into that area, the ground beneath his feet shook violently; countless towering ancient trees were uprooted, the ground cracked into thousands of fissures, and dark red magma surged from the cracks.

A giant beast over three hundred zhang in size crawled out from underground.

Its entire body was covered with crimson-black scales, each scale engraved with natural flame patterns; its four feet trod on the ground, nine barbs grew on its back, and a ghostly blue flame burned at the tip of its tail.

A 5-Star Martial Venerable, the Nine-Spined Earth Dragon.

The mere escaping Demonic Qi caused the surrounding space to twist and deform, and the exotic beasts within tens of miles had long since fled.

Han Ming threw a punch, and the dual Profound Truths of Ice and Water turned into a hundred-zhang fist beam that smashed onto the giant beast's head.

The Nine-Spined Earth Dragon did not budge, and not even a white scratch was left on its crimson-black scales.

A trace of mockery flashed in its vertical pupils, and it opened its mouth to spit out a dark red flame breath; where the flames passed, the air was burned into a vacuum, and space emitted an unbearable explosive roar.

Han Ming teleported to avoid it, and the breath blasted into the mountain peak behind him, melting half of the mountain into a waterfall of magma.

Han Ming frowned slightly; was the defensive power of a 5-Star Martial Venerable this strong?

Unwilling to give up, Han Ming waved his hand, and instantly several Space Blades traversed layers of space, killing toward the Nine-Spined Earth Dragon.

"Clang, clang..."

Several sounds of metal striking metal rang out, leaving only a few white scratches on its scales.

"It can't even break its defense?"

Han Ming was also quite surprised.

"Roar!"

The Nine-Spined Earth Dragon was completely enraged by Han Ming; it roared, and instantly, a raging fire burned within tens of thousands of meters, turning it into an ocean of flames.

The temperature was enough to instantly melt gold and burn iron; Han Ming felt unprecedented danger. He took a step and was already over ten thousand meters away.

But before he could walk out of this sea of flames, the clothes on his body had already started burning.

His skin was burned bright red.

He fully exerted all his True Intents to protect himself, took a few more steps, and finally left the Domain of the Nine-Spined Earth Dragon, disappearing from its perception.

"Whew... A 5-Star Martial Venerable is still too strong; the Space Intent has no effect on them at all. It seems that with my current strength, killing a 4-Star Martial Venerable is already the limit."

More than a hundred miles away, Han Ming let out a long breath and said.
