148: Chapter 148 Spatial Mystery Accomplished, Nine-Spined Earth Dragon Slain

On the other side, while Han Ming was comprehending the Space Profound Truth, Qin Wushuang had already completed his graduation formalities at Modu Martial Arts University.

Modu Martial Arts University has a four-year curriculum; regardless of what Realm you have cultivated to, the school will arrange for graduation once the four years are up.

Whether one returns to their own Family or joins various major factions, the school does not interfere.

The school is merely a platform for the Great Xia Alliance to Cultivate powerhouses.

Of course, all Martial Artists must obey the summons of the Great Xia Alliance at critical moments.

"Student Qin, I am from the Qian Family of Modu. I wonder if you have any interest in joining the Qian Family?"

"As you know, our Qian Family is in the business sector; from small items like clothes and shoes to large ones like mobile phones and flying boats, our Qian Family is involved in it all."

"In terms of strength, we may not compare to the five major families of Modu, but in terms of resources, they definitely cannot compare to us. As long as you join our Qian Family, I can authorize a monthly salary of at least ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stone for you, with other contributions calculated separately."

The administrator handling the graduation formalities looked at Qin Wushuang with burning eyes.

A twenty-four-year-old Martial Emperor, comparable to Teacher Xue Muhan back in the day, and Qin Wushuang also possessed the Wushuang Battle Physique. Whether in strength or potential, he was even stronger than Teacher Xue Muhan.

If he could bring Qin Wushuang into the Qian Family, it would be a great achievement for him.

Perhaps he could exchange for an Earth Rank Five-Colored Illusion Heart Lotus to help him comprehend the Rules and achieve a Breakthrough to Martial Saint.

"Sorry, Director Qian, I have no intention of joining any faction."

Qin Wushuang refused without a second thought.

Although ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stone per month is good, and it is relatively safe.

But he preferred to hone his Battle Intent in combat; the Void Legion was his best choice.

"Will you not consider it again? If it is a matter of compensation, we can discuss it further."

Director Qian naturally would not give up so easily and continued to persuade him.

"No need, I have already decided to head to the Northern Frontier and join the Void Legion."

Qin Wushuang glanced at him and said decisively.

"Student Qin is truly righteous; I, Qian, admire you."

Director Qian, who had originally wanted to persuade him further, was filled with respect upon hearing this. He bowed solemnly to Qin Wushuang and no longer spoke of joining the Qian Family.

The Void Legion is the front line where humanity fights against beasts from another world.

Countless people die on the battlefield every day.

He did not expect Qin Wushuang to choose the Void Battlefield, as it is simply too dangerous there.

The mortality rate is nearly eighty percent.

Most people are forcibly conscripted by the Alliance; if they had a choice, who would want to go to such a dangerous place?

Even Martial Saint powerhouses might fall there.

"Director Qian is too kind; I am just doing this to hone my Battle Intent."

Qin Wushuang cupped his hands at Director Qian, picked up his new identity badge, and left Modu Martial Arts University.

A few more days passed.

Han Ming was still comprehending the Space Profound Truth. With the assistance of the Cave Heaven World and his Heaven-defying Comprehension talent, his grasp of space improved by leaps and bounds.

In the cultivation room, the Void around Han Ming twisted slightly, and he seemed to merge with the world itself.

The Cave Heaven World was connected to his Soul, and comprehending the Space Profound Truth here was more than a hundred times easier than in the outside world.

The perfected Space Intent turned into countless transparent threads in his hands, weaving, stitching, and reorganizing in the Void.

Han Ming closed his eyes, his Divine Sense merging with the Cave Heaven World.

The ultimate form of Space Intent is Profound Truth.

Profound Truth is a deeper level of understanding and application than True Intent.

The threads began to merge and condense, transforming into a transparent blade of light within his Sea of Consciousness.

It was not True Intent; it was Profound Truth.

"Boom!"

The Void around Han Ming suddenly shook violently. Centered on him, the space within a hundred zhang seemed to be frozen, and even the air ceased to flow.

That was no longer the resonance of True Intent, but the suppression of Profound Truth.

One portion of Space Profound Truth.

Han Ming opened his eyes, and two transparent blades of light flashed and vanished within them.

He raised his right hand and made a gentle swipe. The space in front of him silently split into a three-foot-long crack, its edges smooth as a mirror, refusing to heal for a long time.

"Space Profound Truth, truly extraordinary."

Han Ming murmured, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

With one portion of Space Profound Truth combined with his Martial Venerable cultivation, even if a Seven-Star Martial Venerable came, he would have the confidence to fight.

If combined with the dual Ice and Water Profound Truths and nine types of perfected True Intent, he would even dare to challenge an Eight-Star Martial Venerable.

He stood up and stretched his limbs.

In the Cave Heaven World, Ji Lingyue and the others were cultivating.

Han Ming did not disturb them; his figure flashed, and he appeared above Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.

"Big guy, I'm back. Come out and die."

Han Ming took two steps and arrived at the original territory of the Nine-Spined Earth Dragon, his One-Star Martial Venerable aura erupting as he shouted.

"Roar! Human, you are courting death, disturbing my sleep again!"

The Nine-Spined Earth Dragon's massive body surged from underground, its reddish-black scales shimmering with a cold luster under the moonlight.

A trace of impatience flashed in its vertical pupils; last time, this human had luckily escaped from its Domain relying on Space Intent, and now, only a few days later, he was back to throw his life away?

"I was just annoyed that I let you escape last time; today is the perfect time to make a snack out of you!"

The Nine-Spined Earth Dragon opened its mouth and spewed a dark red flame breath, a sky-covering sea of fire turning the entire valley crimson.

Wherever the flames passed, the air was incinerated into a vacuum, the power even more terrifying than last time.

Han Ming's mouth curled slightly; he stood perfectly still and made a gentle swipe with his right hand.

The Space Profound Truth turned into a transparent blade of light, silently cutting into the flame breath.

The sky-filling sea of fire was split by the blade of light as if by an invisible edge; the flames split in two from the middle, whistling past on either side of his body without even burning a single hair.

The flames exploded behind him, incinerating half a mountain, but the ground beneath his feet remained intact.

"Space Profound Truth? You were only at True Intent last time, how is this possible?"

The Nine-Spined Earth Dragon's pupils constricted sharply; only then did it notice that the human before it had already achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Venerable.

How is that possible?

A few days ago, he was clearly just a Martial Emperor; although he had perfected Space Intent and was strong, he could only run away when facing it.

How did this human achieve a Breakthrough to Martial Venerable in just a few days?

Escape; after the shock, its first thought was to escape.

He was already so strong as a Martial Emperor, now that he has achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Venerable, what would happen?

It had no time to think; it instantly activated the five portions of Earth Profound Truth within its body, and its body rapidly merged into the ground.

The Nine-Spined Earth Dragon had decent talent; it had not only comprehended five portions of Fire Profound Truth but also five portions of Earth Profound Truth.

Among Five-Star Martial Venerables, its strength was definitely not weak.

Especially its defense; before Han Ming's Breakthrough, he couldn't even leave a scratch on it.

"Hmph, want to leave? Did you ask me?"

"Space Imprisonment."

Han Ming gripped the air with five fingers, and the space within a thousand zhang of the Nine-Spined Earth Dragon instantly solidified.

The Nine-Spined Earth Dragon's massive body, having sunk halfway into the ground, was forcibly stuck in the rock layer, its reddish-black scales creaking under the pressure of the space force.

It raised its head and saw a transparent Space Blade condensing in Han Ming's hand, and it screamed in terror.

"No—"

The Space Blade silently swept past.

The Nine-Spined Earth Dragon's indestructible scales were like paper before the space cutting; its massive body was split in two from the middle, and dark red blood poured down like a rainstorm, staining the entire valley crimson.

Five-Star Demon Venerable, killed in one strike.

Han Ming waved his hand and collected the Nine-Spined Earth Dragon's corpse into the Cave Heaven World.

The Five-Star Demon Venerable was a treasure trove; its scales could be used to refine Spiritual Artifacts, and its Demon Core contained five portions of Fire Profound Truth and five portions of Earth Profound Truth, which were perfect for his comprehension.

He was just about to leave when he suddenly sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching from the depths of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.

Two of them were at least Seven-Star Demon Venerable, and another was unfathomable, likely possessing the strength of a Demon Venerable Peak.

"Human, killing my Ten Thousand Demon Ridge Demon Venerable, you are courting death!"

A violent shout exploded like thunder, and three terrifying waves of Demonic Qi swept over like a tsunami.

Han Ming did not think twice; he drove his Space Profound Truth to the limit, and with a flicker of his figure, he appeared dozens of miles away.

An existence at the Demon Venerable Peak level was not something he could deal with right now.

Moreover, his trump cards had already been mostly exposed, so there was no need to fight head-on.

"Roar, roar, roar, damn human."

Several unwilling roars came from behind, but they had already lost track of Han Ming.

This is the perverted nature of Space Profound Truth.
